The principal sources of sugar supply
are the refneries situated in the differ
ent parts of the United States; but a
very large portion of the stock that is
manufactured by these refineries is i'm
ported from Germany, the Sandwich
islands and the West Indies. Another
point of importance for refined sugars
is China, but the sugars from that
country are only used in any quantity
on the Pacific coast. Not less than
81, ,500,O was sent to China for sugar
consumed on the Pacific coast during
the year 1894, and the business threat
ems to increase.
Now there are two very important
factors to the development of this
Western country. The first is to pro-
duce these articles that are in demand,
and which can take the place of i'm
ported products for which our money
has to be sent away. The second is to
encourage the population in our i'm
ticles that are produced as far as possi-
BILE on the coast
There are several sugar factories in
California, doing large business. In
1894 they spent for labor alone $780,
900. While there is room for other fac
tories, there is plenty of sugar here to
supply the demand; and the importing
of China sugars has been carried on
simply because there is a tendency on
the part of our people, consumers and
merchants, to buy the cheapest article
that is offered, irrespective of quality.
We do not think the consumer is alto
gether to blame for this. The retail
grocer takes that sugar which will
afford him the greatest profit. Unless
the consumers are watchful, they can
not be sure that they are not eating su-
gars that are manufactured by the
cheap coolie laborer of the Orient,
where hand labor, though nasty, is so
cheap that there is no inducement to
use machinery. Custom house figures
absolutely show that there were i'm
ported into the Portland and Port
Townsend Oregon and Washington
districts in 1894, 100000 pounds of

Da Gama's Suicide.

Buenos Ayres, July From one of
the rebels who escaped capture by gov
ernment troops after the insurgent de-
feat near Santa Ana, Rio Grande do
Sui, Brazil, details of the last battle
in which Admiral Da Cana took part,
and of his suicide have been secured.
The admiral, at the head of force of
400 sailors, was engaged by brigade
of government soldiers numbering
1900. The battle lasted five hours,
and at least 800 men were killed or
wounded. Some of the insurgents ad-
vised Da CANA to retreat, but he re-
fused and they abandoned them. With
handful of men the admiral repulsed
five attacks of the government cavalry,
but the struggle was hopeless, and see
ing that all was lost, Da Cana ordered
a retreat and cut his own throat.
Da Gama's body was taken to Santa
Ana by the government troops and
there horribly mutilated. The throats
of many Of the captured rebels were
cut by the victorious soldiers.

In view of the introduction of guam.
titles of Chinese sugars, it may be as
well that the public is informed on
the very highest possible authority, of
the danger that may be attendant upon
their use. Professor Cameron, public
analysist, Dublin, a gentleman who
has made it his special business to ex-
anime all kinds of foreign sugars, re-
fined and others, says that certain
kinds of them should never be used.
He states that they contain great
numbers of disgusting insects, which
produce disgusting disease. Their
shape is accurately shown in the ac-
companying cut, which is magnifed
200 diameters. Figure is the under
side and figure the upper. The pro-
fessor's description is as follows:
"The insect (the acarus sacchari) is
formidably organized, exceedingly
lively and decidedly ugly animal"
Probably enough has been said here
to awaken some interest in this subject
and it is hoped readers of this article
will stipulate when they order sugar
that it is produced on the Pacific coast,
and show that they want sugars made
by home refneries,- which employ
white labor only.
Statistics show that this country has
sent abroad in a single year $116, ,O00,-
900 for sugar alone, or a per capita
consumption of 81 pounds. Of this
immense consumption 1,700,635 tons
were foreign sugars, and yet it has been
asserted by one of the most prominent
men connected with this business that
California alone, if the interest were
properly developed, would produce
enough raw beet sugar to supply the
demand Of the entire United States.
What boon it would be to Oregon if
we could locate in the central portion
of our territory refinery for making
beet-sugar.

The Evidence Considered Insufacie

The Evidence Considered insufficient.
Washington, June 29.-There will
be no more attempts on the part of the
government to prosecute the 13O men,
bers of the A. r. U. in California,
charged with participating in the
strike of last July. The attorney gen.
eral advised the United States district
attorney at San Francisco to use his
own discretion in the matter, and he
replied that he would dismiss the cases
now pending.
The reason for this action is that ey-
idence against the men is insufficient.
The cost of the prosecution already tried
was $40, 900, and no convictions were
secured. As there is no additional evil
dence to be used it is considered impos-
sible to convict them.

Would Not Discuss Publicly.

Washington, June 29.-Monsignore
Satolli returned today after an absence
of some time at school commencements.
Inquiry was made of him as to the
status of the difficulty between Bishop
Bonacum, of Nebraska, and Fathers
Murphy and Fitzgerald, who had
threatened to appeal to Washington
unless the bishop withdrew certain ac-
cusations he had made in dismissing
them. In response to the inquiry,
Monsignore Satolli sent word that the
case was not one which he would dis
cuss publicly, further than to say that
the diocese was in very bad condition
and the priests were in an unfortunate
position. He would not state what ap-
peal had been made or what action
would be taken.

refined sugars from Hong Kong, and
all of this sugar was handled in sur
reptitious way by our retail grocers
(for our wholesalers will not buy it,
the retailer getting his supplies direct
from the importer brokers), and sold
as American sugars. Ask any grocer
if he handles China sugars, and he will
answer "No." What has become of
the II, 900, 900 pounds imported?
1t probably goes without saying that
the Eastern, or Oriental countries, are
the hotbeds for the development of all
kinds of horrible, loathsome human
diseases, the cholera, smallpox, lep-
rosy, etc. In one instance, in 1892,
che steamer Palmas, which brought
1000 to 5000 bags of China sugar to
Victoria, had smallpox on board, and
there were later cases Of the same dis.

San Francisco, July 2.-Volney F.
Ashford and Fred Alundenburg, who
were exiled from Hawaii for alleged
implication in the recent rebellion,
have annoucned that they will return
to Honolulu. They will not go as fill

now say they have received assurance
from Great Britain that they will be

STRUGGLE WITH FIRE
A Heavy Loss of Property in
San Francisco.
BUSINESS PORTION ENDANGERED
Water Pressure Not Sufficient for the
Drain Upon It, and the Fire Hau
to Burn Itself Out.

San Francisco, June 29.-Something
like So, 900, 600 worth of property was
destroyed by fire in the lower part of
the city tonight. Almost three entire
blocks, covered with dwellings, lumber
yards and expensive manufacturing
plants, went up in smoke despite the
efforts of the firemen to subdue the
flames. A little while before o'clock
the fire started in the rear of Carrick,
Williams & Wright's box factory, on
Fifth street, between Bryant and Bux-
ONE, Fourth and Fifth streets, were re-
duced to piles of glowing embers.
Then, to complete the ruin, the fire
jumped Fourth street, famed by stiff
breeze, and licked up the western half
of two blocks divided by Brannan, be-
tween Third and Fourth. Fortunately
the breeze which prevailed during the
hottest part of the confagration died
away or more of the town would have
been burned.
The water pressure was not sufficient
for the drain made upon it by the full
complement of engines, and in some
places the fire was left to burn itself
out. Everything possible was done by
the department., but the blaze was too
fierce for the fighters.
It was the worst fire in years and
one of the most stubborn that the fire.
men had tried to handle in years. They
fought the encroaching tongues of fire
in one place only to see them shoot up
in another. The dry, wooden build
ings were like so mu;h kindling wood,
and tall, three-story frames were snap
ped up in an instant.
But one brick structure stood in the
path of the devastating element, and
that was st. Roses church, on Bran
nan, near Fourth. The church was
only partly completed, but was de-
stroyed, with rectory and school house.
Several hotels, lodging-houses and
hundred or so humble homes were
swept out of existence during the hours
the fire ragged.
Probably 500 poor families have
their possessions. Another hundred or
more Of small manufacturing establish
ments, such as box and furniture fac
tories, machine shops, ETC., have been
destroyed. Three big wineries, con-
tanning millions of gallons of wine,
wool ware houses, freight houses and
railroad yards, docks, lumber and coal
yards, had narrow escapes. Only one
fatality has been reported. Miss Gill
roy was covered with burning oil and
perished.
During the first few hours of the fire
there was not much excitement in the
city, but when it grew dark and the
sky became mass of flame, the people
from all parts of the city rushed to the
scene. The police could do nothing
with the mob that swept through the
fire lines, and the only impression made
on the crowd was when a fire engine
would come tearing along the street.
The mass of humanity would part,
fighting and struggling to get out of
the way.
Among the residents of the fire dis
trict there was panic. Hundreds of
families tried to save their property,
and in many instances had to be driven
away from their homes by the firemen.

Some of tho Unwrittcn Laws Govern

The practice of giving house parties
during the late autumn months has
been so much a part of American social
life, that q few rules governing them
not be out of place.
The average invitation is for four
nights, from Tuesday to Saturday, and
only intimate friends are invited to re-
main beyond that day. The hour of
arrival Is not left entirely to the dis
erection Of the guests, and the hostess
either mentions the hour at which the
most convenient train will arrive, or
requests them to tell her by what train
she may expect them. When a long
notice is given, these details are ar
ranged within a week of a visit, but it
is an understood thing that guests
should arrive between 5 and 9 o'clock
p. M, II possible, and not early in the
afternoon; neither should they leave it
doubtful as to what time of the day
they intend arriving, as it would be

Conflicting Views of EIoquencs.

In the recently published life Of
George William Curtis there is an ac-
count of q conversation between Mr..
Curtis and Roscoe Conkling ON the
subject of cloquence at the time when
the relations of the two men with
each otner had been undisturbed. Mr..
Conklirg asked Mr.. Curtis what was
the o eloquent passage Of an author
he couid remember. Mr.. Curtis i'm
mediatcly recited II passage from one
of Emerson's essays. Mr.. Conkling
failed TO approve it as the best speci-
men within his knowledge, and gave
as his IDEAL an extract from Charles
Sprague's Fourth Of July Grafton in
Boston descriptive of the American
Indian as our forefathers found him.
Mr.. Curtis found this extract only ridi-
culous in the comparison, and con-
fesses to have been so impolite as to
laugh after it vas reclted. The effect
upon the mighty Roscoe can well be
