RAW SUGAR SUPPLY.
WAS GREATER THIS YEAR THAN
EVER BEFORE.
Due to the Excellent Harvest of Beets.
Which Was Greatly in Excess
of That of Cane.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S-This years
raw sugar supply of the world sur
passes that of 1895. The official sta
usticS received at the Department of
State from Consul-General Karel at ST.
Petersburg show this. From his re
port 1t appears that the shortage which
Russia suffered this year in the wheat
and rice crops will be more than made
up by the increased beet sugar produc-
ton, and this increase is common to
other European countries.
The committee of Russian Ministers
officially determines for each period of
production the quantity of sugar to be
turned out by the sugar factories for
the home market, which this year was
fixed at over 100000 tons, an excess
over last year of $4,000 tons, and the
Ministry of Finance has concluded to
lower the prices, cheapening manufac-
ture.
The Improvement is in beet cultiva-
ton and this years excellent harvest,
the new price being 50 80 per pood of
3G,l12 pounds, against 81 "A last year.
The official estimate of the worlds raw
sugar product for this year is as fol-
lows: Production of beet sugar 1856
900 tons; production of cane sugar,
2,6o5,OOO tons; stock on hand, 1,15O,0OO
tons; total, S,765,OOO tons. Last year
the corresponding total was S,296, $40
tons. The estimated consumption for
the ensuing year is placed at 100000
tons.
The export from Cuba, the principal
producer of cane sugar, is estimated at
4Oo000 tons, and probably will not
reach that amount.
In the season of 1886 Cuba fur
nished the worlds market with 392, 796
tons: in 1S94-95 with 754, ,402 tons, and
in 1S93-94 with 1,16O,172 tons.
These figures, the report claims, show
what an influence the insurreetion in
Cuba has on the sugar industry, and
this will be felt for some time, for even
if the difficulties shortly cease the Gu
ban production could not quickly rise
to the former figures on account Of the
destruction Of property there.

Immediately Upon Striking the Vessel
Fills With Water.
Ten Persons Lose Their Lives-Only
the Captain and Part of the Crew
Reach the Shore in Safety-The
Accident Due to Heavy Fog Pre-
vailing, Rendering 1t Impossible to
Distinguish the HarbOr Lights.

LONDON, Nov. 1S-The British
steamship Memphis, Captain Williams,
which sailed from Montreal November
4th for Bristol, was wrecked in Dun
Tough Bay near Mizenhead, on the
south coast of Ireland, last night, and
ten of those on board lost their lives.
The Memphis struck at 10 o'clock
during the prevalence of a dense fog
AT the time of the accident the vessel
was proceeding cautiously, blowing
her whistle continuously and keeping
sharp lookout for the Mizenhead and
Broadhead lights, which the thickness
of the weather prevented her from
making out.
As soon as she struck the rocks the
vessel began to fill, and rockets were
Immediately fired for the purpose of
summonlng assistance from the shore.
Three of the ships boats We're quickly
lowered, but one Of them was shattered
by being dashed against the side of
the steamship, and two of the occu-
pants We're washed away and drowned,
their companions being unable to rem
der them the slightest assistance.
Those of the crew who had taken to
experienced an awful night. They were
constantly drenched by the heavy seas
which washed over them, and three of
them, after a hard fight for their lives,
dropped from their places and Were
carried away.
The rockets sent up by the ships
crew were seen by the coast guard,
but the latter We're unable to communi-
cate with the shipwrecked men until
after daybreak, when all who remained
in the rigging were taken off by means
Of line conveyed to the ship by a
rocket apparatus of the life savers.
The rescued persons Immediately upon
reaching the shore were taken to vari-
Gus farmhouseS in the vicinity where
they were cared for by the inmates.
Many of them We're almost naked, but
were supplied With sufficient clothing
to enable them to proceed to Crook
haven, at which place most of them
now are.
The ship is a total wreck, and most
Of her cargo is being washed ashore.
The coast guard are engaged in the
work Of salvage.
All the survivors pay a high tribute
to Captain Williams for his efforts to
secure the safety of those on board the
vessel.
The Memphis was 8, 191 tons register.
34o feet long Al feet beam and 26 feet
depth of hold. She was built at Bel
fast in 1890 and was owned by the

PUT ARSENIC IN THE BEER.
A Wyoming Saloonkeeper Charged
With the Murder of a Negro,

CHEYENNE CWyo), Nov 1S.-John
Mollberg, well-known saloon keeper,
was arrested to-day on a charge of
having murdered Moses Reeder, a ne
gro, by giving him arsenic in his beer.
Reeder died July 18th last. A building
belonging to Pat McGill was burned
in March, 1895, the day before it was
to be opened as a saloon. George Lines,
who is under arrest charged with firing
this building gave the information
which led to Mollberg's arrest 1t is
alleged that he said Reeder entered the
building as he was leaving after setting
fire to it, for which he was paid $50.
Mollberg, it is presumed, caused Reed
er to be poisoned on account of what
he knew about the arson case.

JEWISH WOMEN.
Proceedings of the Fourth Days Ses-
sion of the National Convention.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-The fourth
session of the convention of Jewish
Women was called to order at 10 O'Clock
this morning by President Hannah
Solomon. There was a large attendance
of delegates.
The first business transacted was a
discussion of the report of the COM
mittee on motto and badges. An
amendment was proposed recommend
ing that badge be adopted, and after
some discussion it was carried.
The report of the Committee on New
Legislation was the next business in
order. Before the presentation of the
report of the Committee on New Leg
islation the motto, Faith and HUI
manity," was adopted as the most suit
able one to be inscribed on the badges.
The report of the Committee on Leg
islation was read by Mrs. Pauline H.
Resenburg of Philadelphia. 1t sug-
gested some changes in the constitu-
ton, chiefly in connection with the du-
ties of officers. Some of the delegates
objected to the word national in the
title of the organization, and the word
was dropped and the name of the or
ganization changed into Council of
Jewish Women
1t was also voted to amend the con-
two Vice-PresidentS.
Another amendment was offered sug-
gesting that President for each
State, Territory and foreign country
be provided.
A protest was made against the words
foreign country" and a delegate in
I.ay Of bo I,.an a1 IL.
will soon be with u.s. This was greet
ed with applause. Finally the words
foreign country were omitted, and
"any other country where an organiza-
tion exists was substituted.
After recess the discussion of the re-
port of the Committee on New Legisla-
ton was continued. An amendment
was adopted providing that any person
may become patron of the council by
the annual minimum payment of $40
An amendment was also made provid-
ing that one third of the membership
dues be paid into the treasury of the
National Board, instead of one-half
Rev. DR.. Morals of Philadelphia was
introduced and addressed the conven-
ton at some length on Judaism DR..
Morals address was received with ap-
plause.
There was quite discussion of the
article of the constitution defining the
objects of the council, some claiming
that the promotion of Judaism was not
sufficiently brought out. This difficulty
was removed by making the article
read. THE purposes of this organization
are to serve the best interests of Ju-
daism and to bring about closer rela-
tons among Jewish women"
The election of officers will occur to-
morrow.
