BELIEVES IN "CoIN"
The Ex-G Governor of Iowa Comes
Out for Free Silver.

Sioux, City, Ia, May 17.-An
Alton, Ia, special to the Jour
nal says; In a letter to the
Alton Democrat Ex-Governor
Boies of Iowa comes out for
free coinage of silver at a Is
to ratio without waiting for
any international action. Mr..
Boies says:
cit is idle to expect the
masses of the American people
to wait for the cooperation of
foreign nations before they set
tie the question. They have no
faith in such a remedy. They
have taken the matter into their
own hands, and they will settle
it one way or another, so far
as this country is concerned, in
the next national election that
is held. Ifunrestricted coinage
of silver follows, and the result
lis all that gold monometallists
predict, the consequences, if
evil, should not be charged to
friends of free coinage of both
metals. They did not seek the
Issue. All that they asked was
honest bimetaliism, with reas-
enable safeguards for maintain
ing the parity of the two. This
has been denied them upon
false grounds, as l believe that
no possible legislation could
effect that end.
II frankly admit that if the
question is to be narrowed to
the single issue of gold mono
metallism on one side or I'M
conditional free coinage of both
metals at the old ratio on the
other end, I am in favor OF free
coinage, because | believe ii
will at least be the beginning
Of a broadened financial system
that will, if necessary, be sc
perfected in the near future as
to give us an absolutely safe
and sound currency, the found
alton of which will be, legally
at least, and l believe practic-
ally, the equal use of both gold
and silver as the money Of
redemption"

iteno's Reign OF Terror.

For the past five days Reno has
been infested with Il gang of hobos
that are the off,scourings and vomit
of nearly every town in California
and they do not hesitate to strike peo-
pie on the streets for money, nor do
they have any deicacy in approach
ing back doors of residences and if
not given what they ask for will go as
far as to offer insults to women.
Never in the history OF the town has
there been more lawless or impudent
gang pass through the place. A few
bits suffice them to purchase guam

most indecent and drunken orgies
imaginable at the lower end of town.
They are miserable set of petty lar

thing disreputable and despicable.
Yesterday afternoon Car Inspector
Lewis was assaulted by five Of them

ShipbuiIdine in Great Britain.

Contrary to all the expectations
formed twelve months ago regarding
the prospects of the industry, the pro-
duction has been higher than it was
in 1898. When the year began, the
outlook seemed the reverse of encour-
aging. Most of the yards were in
depleted condition, while the orders
were few and far between. In the
spring, however, a revival took place,
and although this did not continue for
any great length of time, it suff1ced to
give that impetus to the trade which
has left such a decided mark on the
of 1898 were about the lowest on
record. The total output of the
United Kingdom, including war ships
built in the Government and private
establishments, amounted to $4,000
tons. This was a decrease from 1892
of nearly 100000 tons, and from 1891 of
nearly 100000 tons. AS a matter of
fact, the shipbuilding facilities of the
country were utilized to the extent of
barely two-thirds in 1898. During the
present year, 1894, the output has been
1,124, 900 tons, or an increase over 1898
of 107, 900 tons. Last year, 205 sailing
ships, with tonnage of 1872, 826, were
built, and this year the number has
fallen to 176, representing tonnage of
SO. 249, while the number of steamers
has risen from 504 to 611, and the
tonnage from 7S4, $50 to 1,030, 759. In
view of the fact that every "ton'' of
steamer is reckoned equivalent to
three sailing ships "tons," it will be
seen that the carrying capacity has
been largely augmented in excess of
the increase of tonnage From L. S.
Consular Report, 1894.

SUGAR IN THE WEST INDIES.
The Production Increasing. but the
COnsumption is Slow.

Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ambassador, has furnished to the
Department of State a copy of cir
cular issued by the West India com
mittee of London, concerning sugar
production. The ambassador ex-
plains that it IS not to be regarded as
an expression Of opinion by his gov
eminent, but only as the committees
views. The circular calls attention
to the fact that the sugar industry,
beet as we'll as cane, is passing
through crisis of the most serious
description, and expresses the hope
that in attempting to provide a
remedy the various governments
shcaii33 avoid taking any steps which
may aggravate the crisis instead of
relieving it. 1t is shown that while
the production is increasing at the
rate Of million tons per annum, the
consumption grows slowly at the rate
of only 100000 tons per annum.
Naturally, prices are depressed, and
the bounty system is ascribed as the
cause Of this state of affairs. There
fore, it advocates the entire abolition
of the bounty and the stimulation of
consumption by the reduction of the
duties levied on sugar, which are ex-
cessive in Europe and prevent the
people as whole from using sugar.

IRON CLAD CANAL BOAT.
She Was Armored to Protect the
Canals of Holland.

One of the Oldest and most unique
war vessels in the world is the iron
clad canal boat belonging to Hol-
lands navy. The canal boat is
a completely equipped war ship in
vice on Hollands extensive canal
systems. The boat is about 40 feet
in length and Is feet in width, and
her upper deck is between three and
four feet above the water line. Her
sides are armored and her deck is
provided with two little turrets, one
fore and one aft. There are two
masts, about II feet in height, and
the bulwarks are not much over
foot in height. The turrets are sup
piled with the heaviest guns which
may be used to advantage in such
close quarters, and her tops are pro
vided with efficient machine guns.
The canal war boat is a valuable
part of the defensive armament of
Holland. The canals Of Holland are
in many sections several feet above
the level of the surrounding country,
and they afford an important want
age point for the war ships guns.
The canals, besides, penetrate every
part of the country, in most cases
passing through the cities and towns,
and it is, therefore, Of the greatest
Importance that a war ship of just
this pattern should be at hand. Hol-
lands navy includes, besides this
unique feature, about $50 men. of-war;
of this number, some Is are iron
clads, some comparing favorably
with the best war ships of other nav
ies.-Ex

National Cane Shredder
(PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS nr
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful!
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any Of it's former
records by closing the 125
hours grinding with an output
of 3004 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
"The three roller mill being
26 in. by 81 in. and the two
roller mill 30in by 60 in. The
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 it's 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 rs
to IS per cent, according to
quality.
81 continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
"The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and a large part of it
being hard ratoons.
"The shredder and engine
require very little care or
attention"
