THE SUGAR SCHEDULE.


Being Oppressive.
WASHINGTON, October Am inter.
national question involving the United
States and Germany has been raised by
that feature of the tariff law which in,
spires the most domestic trouble-the
sugar schedule.
The German Government, through its
ambassador, Baron Saurma-Jeltsch, has
made strong protest to the Secretary OF
State against that clause of the act which
imposes an additional duty of one-tenth
of cent per pound on sugars imported
from those governments which pay an
export bounty on the article to their
producers. 1t will be held by the Ger
man Government that this feature OF
the new act is more oppressive in its
action against the sugar producers of
that country than an! other, and viol.
ates the spirit of the treaty arrange
ment between the two governments,
particularly in view of the concession
by which the embargo against Amer
lean pork, TOr a IIule enforced by Ger
many, was raised. The German EN-.
bassador said tonight that the protest
had been entered in "a friendly spirit,

Sending Messnges In China.

China has not yet established government
postofhces or postal system for the masses
of the people, with all her adoption of mod
ern ways, but private enterprise is depended
upon to render communication easy between
various parts of the empire. This private
transmission of mail is conducted through
what are called letter shops" No stamps
are used, but the chop" or sign of the
keeper of the letter shop" is always placed
upon the envelope,
In China imperial edicts and other official
communications are carried from city to
city and province TO province by couriers.
Generally they make the trip afoot, but in
case of great haste they are provided with
horses at convenient relay stations. Official
letters or dispatches are thus conveyed in
cases of emergency 200 or $50 miles a day

Higher Prices for Hides.

In July, 1898, owing to the fl
N nancial depression, in the
United States, or other causes,
hides declined in price to the
lowest point ever known. Hides
that i'll May brought 5 cents per
pound, in July brought only 3
cents, But prices had been
steadily declining for two years,
now a change is coming. In
July last prices again started up,
and in the small space of two
months jump from 81 to ~
has taken place in San Francis
co markets. These prices are
for the average Hawaiian hide.
This will be cheering news to
the Island butcher, as for the
past year it has hardly paid him
to salt and ship his hides.
All who have hides to sell
will please remember we are
paying the highest prices for
green sailed hides.

One ON MIR. DALEY.

Manager Daley of the Opera company
did something yesterday which he viii
not likely repeat in great while. He
was looking over some money in his
room when members of his company
called for him ,nd he went off to Wal
kiki leaving 800 on the lie mat
ter was not thought of again. When
he returned it was to find that his room
had been disturbed, presumably by one
of the servants, and an envelope con.
$3.50 gone. The box containing 800,
with the key in the lock, was untouched.
Mr.. Daley is out $3.50, but is lucky
in that it is not 800 more than that
sum.

Meyer, the confectioner, stood behind his
counter and gazed sadly at the huge pile of
apple tarts which were beginning to grow
stale, for during the last few days business
had been unaccountably slack. Suddenly
he bethought himself of a plan. Sitting
down at his desk he wrote as follows:

fired. Signor Crispi was uninjurod and
promptly sprang out Of tho carriage with
the intention of scizlng tho would-be

ateiy seized by the people attracted by the
report Of the revolver.
In a moment the neighborhood was
crowded. A rush was made for the man
who was struggling with his captors and
he would have been beaten TO death had II
not been for the prompt arrival OF the
police. The premier examined the re-
volver curiously. He was loudly cheered

LIVINGSTON, June 16.-Governor Rick
ards concluded his investigation Of the
Field murder case this afternoon and
found there was nothing TO warrant him
in granting the condemned man q respite
for single day. The examination was
rigid and thorough, and evidently con-
vinccd the governor OF Fields guilt be-
yond the faintest shadow of doubt.
Referring to his investigations his ex-
cellency said to Comfy Attorney Miller
this evening": "The showing made by
Fields friends and attorneys is entirely
inadequate 10 warrant my taking any ac-
tion whatever to prevent the carrying out
OF the death sentence as pronounced by
Judge Henry upon the convicted murderer
Of Samuel Fleming"
With this ultimatum the murderer's last
vestige of hope has disappeared and moth
ing now within the range Of human vision
can prevent the execution taking place
next Friday, the day set when Robert A.
Field shall expiate his atrocious crime
upon the gallows.
When apprised of the conclusion ar
rived at by the governor, Field manifested
no moro feeling than no has shown all
along and simply remarked in gamblers
parlance, "Let her so as she lays"

SALT LAKE, June 16.-The territorial
democratic convention was held here to-
day with l65 delegates present. The con-
vention was called TO order by c. c. Rich
ards, who reviewed the history OF the
democratic party in Utah, including the
contest for supremacy with the Tuscarora
society at the national convention at Chi.
cago. The purposes Of the convention
were set forth as being the election Of n
new territorial committee and the tran.
saction Of such other business as might be
necessary. A committee on resolutions
was appointed and recess was taken for
30 minutes. Pending the assemblage OF
the convention, Governor West delivered q
speech. He said the idea that democracy
was getting into ill-repute with the people
was u delusion and snare. He pro-
dicied that during the present month the
tariff bill would be passed and thus the
great pledge Of the democratic party TO
the people would be accomplished. He
said IL silver was ever rehabiliated 1t
would have to be done by tho democratic
party, which first mado il constitutional
money. The report Of the resolutions
committee was then read. The report
was very lengthy and dealt directly with
the political issues OF the day from dem.

adopted amidst much enthusiasm.

CHICAGO, June l6.-At the American

the company refused to treat with the rep
resentatives of tho union, but Second Wee
President Wicker said he would treat
with the ex-employes. President Debs
ordered a committee Of employees to be ap-
pointed.
The matter was referred to the Pullman
delegation with instructions to appoint n

report to the American Railway union. A
proposition was made TO establish labor

perpetual fund to carry on strikes. 1t Is
thought the plan will be adopted with
notifications,
Vice President Wickes refused TO treat
with the Pullman committee. He in-
formed the members that il they desired
TO submit n proposition they must again
become employees Of the company. After
they had reported TO the manager at tho
works he said he would treat with them.

AS TO SUGAR.


These Days.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Ran.
som created slight sensation when he
appeared before the senate sugar invests
CATION committee to-day. He was asked.
as were others before the committee, the
following question by Senator Lodge I:
"Has any member of your family or any
person in your employ. or any clerk EN-.
ployed under the laws of the United States
in your service, been, to your knowledge,
interested in any ways indicated, in any
preceding questions in any transactions
in sugar stocks or certificates during the
period mentioned?"
Replying to the question, Mr.. Ransom
asked leave to make q statement. On
the night Of last Thursday he had been
visited at his home by Mr.. Rowland, cor.
respondent Of the New York Press. who
asked him substantially the same ques.
tion as had been put to him by the com.
mittee. Ransom made an explicit denial,
whereupon Mr.. Rowland informed him
that a brokerage firm in this city, Silbes
& Co., had an entry In their books which
indicated tho senator had speculated In
sugar stocks during the period Of the
tariff debate.
"Mr. Howland," continued Ransom,
'asked me IL knew any other person by
the name of Ransom in the city. told
him knew but one person in the city by
the name of Ransom aud that was my
son George, who was my clerk. He asked
me where he was and said he was in the
parlor and would step In and bring
him in.
II was, perhaps, more cautious than the
occasion required, and said to Rowland
that would thank him to come with me
to the door so he could SEQ no communi.
cation should take place between me and
my son. went to the parlor door where
my son was and beckoned him to come in.
did not speak TO him or see him between
the parlor and my room, and when we got
into my room asked the gentleman to
state his business TO him. and told my son
whatever the matter was to tell the truth
about il.
ale then stated to the gentleman he
had bought some sugar stock on April II.
He put up margin OF $40, which he paid
the broker on sugar stock. He said on the
same day he put up margin of S25 on
cotton.
"He said he lost on cotton and made SIC
on sugar, and after that repeated the
same bet OH sugar, and lost. may state
to the committee that have no interest
whatever, and never had any stock OF
trade or anything else since have been
in the senate"
Senator Brice reiterated his declaration
in his letter to Chairman Gray in which he
said that he had not bought or sold q
single share Of sugar stock or dealt in in
dustrial stocks Of any kind.

SEWERS AND SUCH.
Improvements That are To He Made
Thi. Year

This Year.
Butte. June l6.-The sewer committee
held meeting this evening and decided
TO recommend TO the council that sewers
be built on Granite street from Wyoming
TO Covert on Arizona. from Granite TO
Broadway on the alley between Broadway
and Granite streets, from Arizona to
Covert, and on Covert street south 10
Broadway. from Broadway south through
the vacant ground to Park street and west
on Park to Ohio Avenue.
Thccommittee also,rccommendedt that a
easement he purchased from Ed Hickey
for sewer through the vacant ground
between Broadway and Park street.
The city engineer was instructed to have
the box sewer in Mssoula gulch extended
to the end Of Columbia street. which is
about 100 feet below where il now empties
aud TO have the sewer covered from Quarts
street to its terminus. 1t is believed that
this action will end the suit which A. W.
Barnard has brought against the city.
The committee will also recommend
that the city engineer be instructed 10 put
in catch basins at certain points IN order
to catch the heavy material IN the sewers.
