there will be no grinding of :
sugar cane in Cuba this year, .
owing to the rebellion, and '
consequently the worlds sup :
ply will be decreased by {
100000 tons, one-hfth of
the entire production of the
world. A considerable in
crease in prices is therefore
certain. On top of this comes
the information that Senator
Perkins is making a strong
fight to secure a higher tariff
on sugar, as he wished to en-
courage the beet sugar plan
tiers of California. Senator
Perkins believes that where
the Republicans can secure
control of the Senate protec-
ton will be granted by bounty
or increase of duty. The
San Francisco Bulletin in
commenting on the PROPOSE
ton says: "Senator Perkins
has introduced a resolution
Iinstructing the Finance Com
mittee to report an amend
ment to the revenue bill in
creasing the duty on raw
sugar. He will support the
resolution with a speech in
tended to enlighten the Sena-
tors as to the value of the
beet-sugar industry. The
, beet-sugar industry is in line
with the iron and steel in
dustry, the wooden industry
and the manufacture of tin
plates. Sugar can easily be
5 produced in the United States
f in quantities sufficient to sup
ply the home demand, but the
: cost of production in this
country is greater than in
countries from which we i'm
port sugar. 1t is just ques-
S ton whether the government
shall impose duties on foreign
sugar equal to the difference
i. in the cost of production or
( whether we shall continue to
t buy our sugar abroad. This
l is branch of industry in
which farmers may be direct
ly protected. So long as we
, export wheat we can extend
Y to the farmer only indirect
: protection. But if we place a
+, duty on sugar the producer is
protected to the full amount
:. of the duty. Farmers who
a find it difficult to make the
d two ends meet in producing
S wheat at present prices may
y make a good profit in produc-
ing sugar if the duty is raised
It to about l cent. pound" II
lie the duty mentioned, is placed
it on sugar, Hawaii will be just
s. that much ahead as our pro.
duct will go in free under the

Tho rather ungainly fish known as
the founder appears to assume its awk-
wardness from an inherent desire to &C.
cupy certain position at the bottom of
the sea or TO rest in rocky bed. In our
fresh water fishes we find that they are
all compressed laterally, but in the salt
water there are various species, and the
common founder among them, that are
compressed vertically, hence are called
"ilat fishes" The most singular thing
about these is that when Matched from
the egg they have an eye on each side OF
the head, but while soft and quite
young they settle on the sand or rock
bottom, and then one eye actually passes
to the other side, and thus we have a
fish which has become SO transformed
that one of its sides becomes its belly
and the other the back, with the two
eyes on the latter. This peculiar change
in the form of these fishes was first no.
ticed by Steenstrup in 1868 and since
confirmed by various scientists, accord

been laid bare by the winds in the sand
dunes of Tangier, which bears an ex-
traordinary resemblance to the god Xipe,
whom the ancient Mexicans worshiped
with most barbarous rites, including
human sacrifices flayed alive. This dis
covery is interesting in its bearing upon
the theory of primitive connection be-

Washington, Jan. 5.-Washington's
senators and representatives are q unit

of having bills introduced and referred
to the proper committees have been
gone through with early in the session.
1t will not be surprising. however. If
all efforts fall in this congress. Mr..
Reed Is known to be opposed to such
appropriations at a time of great fnan-
cial stress, and as chairman of the
committee on rules he will exercise
czar-like power upon all legislation.
The fact that the architect of the
treasury and the commissioner of the
central land office have called upon
their subordinates in these cities for in
formation regarding the needs of the re-
spective government officials for ac-
commodations, ETC., means nothing,
save that the bills already introduced
will be referred to the architect and
to the commissioner for their reports
| as to the advisability or rather desir-
ability of their construction at the pres
ent time. and it is customary to have
the information called for at hand in
order that an immediate reply may
be made.
1t is believed by many OF the newer
members that public building bills

need for the same can be clearly shown
can be passed through the house de-

CONFESSION SAVED HIM
Another Man Guilty Of the Crime
for Which He Was to Die.
INVITATIONS WERE SENT OUT
Have Been Eieetrocuted-A
Respite.

Albany. N. Y, Jan. 5.-The climax of
one of the most dramatic and sensation
al criminal incidents of the states his
tory was made public today, when,
just As hours prior to the execution of
the death sentence upon Bartholomew
Shea. another man confessed to the
murder. and Shea steps from beneath
the shadow Of death thrown by the
electric chair
The invitations for the electric killing
of Shea had been issued, the state cleo
trician was already on the ground at
Dannemora prison. the governor had
decided on Saturday not to interfere
In the carrying out of the sentence in
the institution, when a comrade of
Shea's in the election outrages when
the tragedy occurred, confessed to the
crime.
The man who voluntarily confesses
to the crime, and who practically steps
from the prison chair of the menacing
shadow of an electric death is John
McGough. of Troy. now serving sent
ence of 10 years and six months for
shooting and attempting to kill Will
liam Ross. a brother of Robert Ross.
who was supposed to be Shea's VIC
tim.
In some way, known only to the con-
victs, McGough contrived to keep in
formed as to the success or failure
of the applications for Communication
made in behalf Of Shea.
When Shea was re-sentenced to die
December %, 1t is believed McGough
was ready to confess. but when he
learned that a respite had been granted.
he withheld the confession. After the
holidays he learned that the efforts to
obtain Communication for Shea had not
ceased, and SO he made no sign.
On Saturday, when Warden Thayer
was made aware that the governor
would not interfere, and arrangements
were made for the execution, McGough
sent for the warden of the prison, Wal
ter N. Thayer and told him he wished
to make a statement concerning the
murder Of Robert Ross.
The warden had McGough taken tc
the office. and handing him pen and
paper, told him to put down what he
| had to say in writing.
McGough wrote a communication oil
| about two pages, and signing it witt
| his full name, handed 1t to the war
| den.
| To the surprise of the warden ant
his deputies, the paper contained a de
| cided statement that he (McGough) ant
not Shea had shot and killed Robert
| Ross.
| The statement contained no details

| After learning the facts in the case

time counsel could take the prope

MONTANA'S GREAT CATTLE INDUSTRY
brought Eleven Million Dollars Into the
State in 1895

Helena, Mont, Jan. 1.-The year 1895
was the greatest cattle year that Mon
tana has had, so far as the total re-
ceipts from their sale are concerned
The revised figures of the business done
during the year, prepared in the Office
of the Montana board and stock com
missioners, given out today, give the
total receipts at $11,3O2, $50. This ex-
ceeds the next highest year, 1894 by
nearly $1,000, 900. The secretary of the
board has handled during the year on
account of strays $179. 721-that is, there
has passed through his hands as re-
ceipts for cattle shipped by others than
owners that amount of money, which
he has sent to the people to whom it be-
| longed.
The report says: 1--WE find after care
| full computation that the average price
| for the year was a trifle over 1876 per
head. Thus it will be seen that the cat

| than 81 ZOO, 900 into Montana during

| in 1895 10000 head of cattle. During
the year the inspectors found 24,S4'
strays, representing value of almos
