AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

The celebrated transportation committee of
the Southern Pacific road had its attention
directed TO an application a few days ago
which, it is needless TO add, did not receive
even the courtesy OF consideration. 1t came
from the managers of the Evans and SOntag
Up 10 Dale" company. II appears that this
spectacular production changed managers a
short lime ago, ana The new man happened to
be aware that the courtesy OF half-fare rates
was usually extended TO theatrical people. BE
went to the office and made out his application
for the reduced rates and handed 1t TO one of
Mr.. Goodman's assistants, that gentleman
being absent at the time. Speaking about the
matter afterward the person mentioned said:
Talk about gall Here these people are
travelling around the country with a show the
whole production of which hinges upon the
robbery of our trains and the murder of our
employees, and which causes the assassIns who
did the work to be pictured in the light OF
heroes. After spending thousands of dollars
TO bring the desperadoes to Justice, these
people come around and ask US to afford them
facilities for transporting this panorama OF
crime over the countryl They'll be getting up
a benefit fund mex, 1 suppose, and ask us to
head the list Of subscribers"
Printers are proverbially among the greatest

LANDING OF TROOPS.

The conditions under which troops may
be landed in a foreign port without viola
tion OF international laws are often de-
fined from a personal point of view.
English residents at the Hawaiian Islands
are not inclined to admit that the landing
of troops from the Boston was justified by
existing conditions. But the same men
will justify the landing of troops at Blue
fields TO protect British residents of the
Mosquito country. The British Govern
ment has disavowed other purpose than
the protection of lives and property. but
the fact remains that the landing was
effected to drive Nicaragua troops from
the town. AS the Mosquito reservation is
fu the State of Nicaragua, there may be a
question as TO the right of England 10
drive the troops of that State from one of
cts cities. The known facts are that the

AMERICAN FLOUR IN FRANCE.

1t is becoming apparent that the surplus
wheat and -four produced in this State
will hereafter find perhaps its best market
in France. Late statistics show that
France is one of the largest if not the
largest consumer of wheat in the world
IT'S normal wheat acreage has been about
17.29O0o0 acres. and is not likely TO in
crease. On this it has been in the habit
Of producing an average of 800, 0,0O0, 600
bushels. From various causes the crop is
declining. In 1892 it was only 10000. 900
bushels; In 1893, about 200, OOO, ,OOO The
average yield of the French wheatfields is
1915 bushels per acre, and the French
farmer Teckons that it costs him 81 Sc a
bushel to raise it, whereas it is selling in
the market at abnut 81. Thus there is no
money in growing the staple, and the
landowners are casting about for new
uses for their land.
Meanwhile, France consumes an average
of $40, 100000 bushels of wheat per year,
and this consumption is not likely to
decline. Frencbmen live on bread; If
they can get the wheaton bread they love
they will dispense with meat. 1t is esti-
mated that the average daily consumption
of wheat -four by the whole people is one
pound three ounces per head, while the
working class consume even more. 1t
thus appears that il The harvests of the
past two years are going TO be an average
for the future. France will require to
import 140 100000 bushels of wheat or an
equivalent quantity of -four. which is
more than the total amount available for
export by the United States. This will be
drawn from Hungary, Russia and the
United States: what the share of each
will be will depend on their croIs. In
1891 this country sent 100000 bushels
and in 1892 10000, 600 to French poris.
But in order to keep our share of the
French market none but the best flour
must be sent to France. The French are
fastidious bread-eaters; the baker who
supplies the best tbread-home-made bread
is unknown in France-gets the custom.
1t Is believed in France that American
flour is inferior 10 French or Hungarian
-four. but that a mixture of French -four
made from soft wheat and the flour made
from our harder wheat makes tie best
bread in the world. That is the material
used by the chief bakers in French cities.
To command a ready sale In France
American -four should be free from grit.
Jumps and mold. and should not taste
acid in the mouth. 1t should contain "a
per cent of starch and 10 per cent OF
fbrin. 1t should be sacked, not barreled: ::
barreled -four is only used in the navy and
by ship-chandlers.
The present French duty on wheat Is
equivalent to about % cents a bushel, and
about 81 cents on -four. The French
farmers clamor for an increase of the
duty in order to keep them out Of their
straits, but until they can raise ore than
fourteen bushels to the acre a resort TO
Government aid will not help them much.
The French will have the best bread W hat
ever it costs. and il the bakers find that
