The art of making rubies, ac-
cording to Royal Institution lee
ture by Professor Judd, is now Ell
tensively practiced. The ruby is
simply crystalized alumina or OK

rubies, known as Geneva rubies,
are as hard as the natural ones
from Burmah, are identical with
them in chemical composition and
molecular structure, and are only
slightly inferior in colorand luster.
They are largely used as watch
jewels, and doubtless many of them

With the session of congress
drawing to a close and all atten-
ton likely to be concentrated on
the tariff bill, it is not considered
probable that the senate will act
either on the Arizona or New
Mexico statehood bills before final
adjournment. This was the un-
derstanding when the bills were
reported from the committee on
territories. Dates Of admission in
the case Of Arizona aud the con-
stitutional convention in the case
of New Mexico have been so de-
ferred in the senate that no change
in the bill will be necessary in case
Of postponement. The provision
in the Arizona bill is for ad,

while the constitutional conven-
ton in New Mexico is not to meef

'STANDSUP FORSUGAR
A Schedule Submitted to Con-
ferrees for 40 Per Cent Duty. .
The Senate jealousy Guards
It's Fav0rite Interest.
HOUSE ISN'T HOPEFUL.
1t Considers an Agreement as
Far Off as Ever.

washington. Aug. 4-Sugar has all
along been the thing over which the
conIerrees have had the most trouble,
but it is thought that an agreement will
soon be reached on that schedule.
1t Is understood that the sugar
schedule most recently submitted to
the tariff eOnferrees is one provid ing
for duty of 40 per cent on raw sugar
aud on the value of the raw sugar
used in the manufacture Of the re-
fined article, with the addition Of one
fifth Of a cent different;al on refined
sugar. 1t is understood that this
schedule IS very seriously discussed,
but it cannot be learned whether it is
the one to be submitted as the best
which the senate conferrees would
grant.
Objection is made to it that it would
be very difficult to determine the
value Of the sugar going to make up
the manufactured article, on account
of the different grades of raw sugar
imported into the country. This. it is
urged by its advocates, could be ar
ranged by the treasury regul atiOns.
The end which it desired to accom-
p1ish in this as in all other PROPOSE
tons IS to prevent the refiners from
obtaining any advantage in the ad
valorem rates as applied to refined
sugar, which advantage, it is claimed
by the house members, they have in
the senate bill
From the house standpoint the tariff
situation remained unchanged, and if
anything a little more hopeful. This
was the impression given by the house
con- errees when they came over for
their luncheon Reports came from
the senate that crisis was at hand
and that the senate conferrees were
getting ready to present the best they
would do and then end the matter.
One of the house cOnferrees said
this report was overd rawn: that in
his judgm the situation had not
materially changed and that perhaps
a definite conclusion would soon be
reached Among all those conversant
with the internal workings of the con-
ference the opinion was expressed
that a conclusion was very near at
hand

remain here. Mr.. Brourhton said
that the contemplated moving of the
shops had been brought around by

probable that the city will bring suit

road was built. as it claimed that the

secured the subsidy it was agreed by
