$3.50 for valley engineers.
This places all the engineers on a more

in the rate paid to valley engineers. The

SUGAR MARKET AGITATED.
All Sugar Producing Countries Look to
the United States.

All Sugar Producing Countries Look to
the United States.
WARRINGTON, Feb. 3.-According to
the cable advices there is promise of a
very singular struggle in Europe for the
control of the sugar market and the
United States, which receives great part
of its sugar from the countries involved,
will naturally be much affected.
The practice of encouraging the
growth of sugar beets and the produc-
ton of sugar therefrom by the pay
ment of a bounty on export sugar has
long obtained in Europe. The results
were such as to exceed the most ardent
expectations of the promoters of the
bounty system and soon the beet sugar
output assumed such great proportions
as to seriously injure the market for cane
sugar.
With increased production prices be-
gan to fall and the governments were
compelled to Increase the bounties in
order to satisfy the great agricultural in
terests

is Assured.
Party Lines Will Be Largely
Obliterated in 1896

Silver Will be the only Question
at Issue.
Free Silver Men Intend to Get
Together at Once.
so SAYS MIR. BLAND.

WASHINGTON, Feb 23.-"There will be
q new alignment of parties in the next
presidential campaign" said Representa-
tive Bland, of Missouri, this morning
"The free silver men intend to get to-
gether and nominate a man who reflects
their sentiments"
Suppose" it was suggested, "that
after contest at the next Democratic
convention, a candidate should be select
ed who is opposed to free silver, what
would you and other gentlemen who en-
terrain views on this subject similar to
yours do in that case?"
1--WE would not support him."
"But suppose he was the party nomi-
meet"
There is nothing" replied Mr.. Bland,
"to prevent as many tickets being put IN
the field as is desired; and the free sill
yer men would have theirs"
Suppose one party nominated gold
monometallist and the other a candidate
who was inclined to be friendly to free
silver, but who did not stand squarely on
such platform. what then?"
We want no half way candidate. We
want free coinage man or nobody"
You think then. that the money ques-
ton will be the over Swallowing issue in
the next campaign?"
1T will be the only issue. 1t ought to
have been the principal issue two years
ago, but we were then just emerging
from the shadow of sectionalism and the
force bill, and it was no time to divide on
financial questions. But that time has
not arrived and the next contest will be
waged between the free coinage men
and those who oppose the proposition
Party lines will be obliterated and this
will be the one thing which will divide
the voters OF the country"

A MAMMOTH PEARL.
Tt Was Purchased by the strategical
Method.

1t Was Purchased by the Strategica1
Method.
''An extraordinary treasure. illus
trating the successful manner IN
which gems can sometimes be pro-
cured by the 'strategical process,
was lately shown by the Smithsonian
institute. This was a pearl, the size
of pigeons egg, of exquisite rose
color, and the receptacle containing
it was the original fresh water musse
in which it had been formed. The
nucleus of this wonderful stone was
nothing more nor less than an
oval lump of beeswax which had
been placed and left for few years
between the valves of the mollusl,
which had at once proceeded to coat
it with the pink nacre it secreted for
lining its shell. The mussel was
kept in an aquarium while engaged
in its lengthy task. 1t belonged to a
species common in American rivers,
and it is suggested that the result of
the experiment opens to every body
the possibility of establishing a small
pearl factory for himself, by keeping
a tank full OF mussels, and humbug-
ging them into making great pink
pearls for him. But the intending
experimentalist is cautioned against
avarice; the nucleus must be intro
duced we'll under the mantle of the
creature and. above all, it must not
be too arge.'

A German Inventor Able to Travel
Seven Miles Hour a River.
A tricycle. which can be made to
travel either on land or water is the
invention of Hamburg genius
named George Pinkert. The machine
is so large and heavy that no such
speed can be gotten ont of it as is
made every fair day on city boule-
wards, but Herr Pinkert thinks he
has accomplished much in doing nine
and one fourth miles an hour on land
and seven and one-half on the smooth
surface of a river. His tricycle. has
motor wheels ffty-three inches in
diameter and nearly twenty inches
thick. They are made of sheet iron,
and are divided into three water
tight compartments, which are filed
with air. On the outside of these
wheels are fange boards about four
inches wide by seven and one half in
length. The steering wheel is about
a yard in diane ter and sixteen inches
thick, and has two water-tight COM
partments. The wheels have rubber
tires which allow them to run on
land. The whole machine weighs
about 21O pounds.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-The action
of the house accepting the recommends
tons of Secretary Herbert looking to the
addition to our navy of three battle ships
and twelve torpedo boats had stirred the
department officials to an unusual de-
gree, for it means much work for them
during the summer. Already they have
begun to outline roughly the features of
the vessels, and while there can be DO Of
fetal plans until the board of bureau
chiefs have been instructed by Secretary
Herbert to consider the subject, it is al
ready apparent from the expressions of
the officers who will have to design the
battleships, that these will in general be
patterned after the Iowa, the largest and
most powerful of our new ships, which
is now rapidly nearing completion.
