This is said to be an increase of
792,743 tons over the year 1884.
The figures as to beet sugar are
those given by M. LIGHT, recog-
nized authority. The American
crop of course includes the product
of the West India Islands and pos
sibly the Hawaiian Islands. The
last-named group produces about
10000 tons in good years. The
outlook favors a continuation of
low prices for another year at least.

first mill doing this amount of
work In an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently cree
ted by the Company. And
by its use the extrac-
ton has been increased from
8 per cent. to 5 per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases so per cent. has been
reached; the average being 70

A CONFUSION OF TONGUES.

Limber- rongued Aisatians In Justice Nor
risOn's Court
OF all the confusion of tongues since
the start at the tower of Babel, about as
lively a one as is on record occurred in
Justice Morrison's court room yesterday.
1t was during the trial of a couple of AL
satians upon charge of battery preferred
by several other foreigners.
From the little that could be cleaned
from the testimony, it appears that John
Beck and his wife rented some rooms in
the house of Conrad and Mary Wertz. The
latter tired of their tenants and served no.
Iice upon hem to vacate. As the month
ended yesterd ~ and they showed no sign
of moving, Conrad went and kicked in the
door of their room and engaged in free
fight with his undesired tenants. His
wife, attracted by the noise, bounded to
the scene ard Immediately allied her valor
and f1ngernalls with onrad's efforts and
q lively battle resulted. The fly finally
ended partially through the Intervention
of the neighbors aud partly through the ex-
haustion of the combatants, but not until
bald spots on heads, blackened eyes and
scratched faces furnished ample evidence
that everybod had monkeyed with some
kind OF buzz.saw. Beck and his wife
swore TO complaint against the others,
though, and they we're arrested and tried.

outfit was placed on the stand and ques-

w. N. Navin has mind az changeable
as that by some accredited to most tickle
woman. and he gave an illustration of il
before Justice Morrison yesterday. He had
been arrested by Officer Lchnhausen for
being drunk Tuesday, and after SOLDERING
up deposited $500 cash bail for his APP
pearance in court. Yesterday he appeared
laboring under the influence of more
''booze." He first said he had not been
drunk and proceeded TO make detailed
yet disjointed statement of his arrest, but
finally wound up by saying he would en-.
ter plea of guilty. He was sc ntencee
TO pay a fine of So or remain a correspond
ing number of days in Jail.
Navin then started up and demanded
the balance that was duo him after he fine
had been settled, but as the clerk wa.
otherwise engaged and did not produce
the money Immediately, Navin grew very
angry and declared he would serve the
sentence and save the two dollars. Justice
Morri son ordered him to be taken to Jail
at once, whereupon Navin once more
changed his mind and asked TO be allowed
to pay the fine. Again he demanded the
bA.auce but was odd 10 wait, and again
did he change his mind and at last ac-
counts he had begun to serve his three

CHAMBER or COMMERCE
rIeeting Of the ard Of Directors Yester,
Afternoon

r1ceting OF the B lard Of Directors Yesterda y
The board of directors of the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce met yesterday after
noon at 3:l5 with the following directors
present: Messrs. Cline, Forman, Jones,
King, Klokke, Munson, Patterson, Parsons
Slauson, Vetter. President Patterson occu
pied the chair.
The greater part of the meeting was
taken up with the consideration of the
tramp question. A communica ion was
read from the associated charities asking
that the board take some action on this
matter, and q report was read signed by
the committee appointed at the last meet-
ing, namely, President Patterson, Directors
Graft and DAWSON. This report set for b
that the large number Of tramps 10 the
city. attracted by the warm winter clim Ate
of Southern California, were becoming a
m enace to the welfare Of our people, and
that immediate and heroic measures
should be used to put q stop to the nui.
sance. The report reads as follows:
ut is our view that feasible plan for
meeting this emergency was suggested by
the associate charities year ago. The
plan suggested at that time was that the
city council construct plain quar- ers al
Elysian park, whore impecuni0us people
could be furnished food and lodging, and
required to work q cartain length of time
for each meal or for each nights lodging.
Such an institution might at least be made
self-supporting. The amour of work re-
quired in payment for each meal or for
each nights lodging should not be SO great
a. TO leave the recipient no times1in which
to look for steady work il he desired it.
Hoilesl iliuIseuts would be made self
respecting in having a chance to earn
their food and shelter, and professional
deadbeats, whose principles will not per-
init them to WORK, would seek other PAS
lures.
All citizens should be requested to alb
solutely refuse to give food, clothing or
money TO the applicants who infest their
back doors or stop them on the streets,
and they should support the police in send
ing. all such people to the proposed bar
racks.
We therefore submit for adoption the
following preamble and resolution:
Whe cas-, Our city is infested with hobos,
tramps, beggars an other impecunious
persons who are rendering themselves OBJ
noxious and have become q dangerous ele-
ment to the peace of the. city; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the city council be earn.
estly requested to establish barracks
where such persons may be lodged and fed
and required to labor on the park or other
public works sufficient TO pay for such
food and shelter as may thus be provided,
and that such regulations be made as will
subject to punishment all who refuse to
work.
This resolution was, after some discus
sion, adopted.
