SUGAR CONSUMPTION.

Sugar is an article, the use of which,
is growing rapidly. Years ago child
rem used to use molasses instead of
sugar; now, except among the very
poorest classes, molasses is very seld-
ON used. Indeed, in the early part of
the century molasses was used in
sweetening buildings, etc.
The consumption of sugar in the
United States is 63 pounds per capita,
and in this it exceeds the per capita
average of Europe. But it does not
exceed special countries of Europe,
for Great Britain has a consumption
of a little over Sc pounds per capita,
which overtops even the sugar loving
French. The lowest consumption of
sugar is in Servia, which consumes
sugar at the rate of 4.01 pounds per
head. Greece uses 6.26 pounds per
head; Italy G5 pounds, and Russia
1894 pounds.
The consumption of sugar depends
upon lIlt wealth. VI ullG lower cluSScS.
A nation of well-to-do mechanics and
artizans consume far more sugar than
an agricultural or pastoral people.
The per capita consumption of sugar
in cities is far greater than in coun-
try districts,
The demand for sugar, however, is
ever increasing, and the question is
whether in time the demand will not
outstrip the supply. Calculations
based upon the demand now. sup
posing that the demand will remain
stationary, are based upon fallacious
premises. AM much of the beet sugar
calculation is based upon such figures.
1t is not only that the population will
increase, but its sugar consuming
capacity will increase even more rap
idly, and it will soon reach that of
England, and surpass it.

TOPEKA. Kansas, Jan. 12.-Chlef
Justice Frank Doster, who Las just
been indicted into Office, will cndcavor
to enact his famous campaign theory
into law. He declared upon the stump
that 'thc rights of the user are par
amount to the rights Of the owner. y
JUDGE ~Dccssttgr law partner, Henry
Mclean. has drafted a remarkable
bill, which will be introduced carly in
the session. 1t will provide that no
one shall own more land than home
stead if any other person desires to
purchase any additional tracts of land.
For example, Farmer Jones owns and
lives on Il farm and is also owner OF
another farm which he rents Farmer.
Smith, who has no homestead, can go
to Jones and make him a tender of a
reasonable sum of money for the
additional tract of land. If Jones
declines Smiths tender, Smith can go
into the courts and the jury will fix
the price, which, if below the sum
rendered, then Jones must pay the
costs Iii more, then Smith pays the
costs of the suit. This bill: if it
becomes law, will absolutely prevent
the ownership of large tracts of land
by one individual, and will result in
endless litigation.

barbcd wire was stretched across 'the
road at two points to impede their re-
treat. The Cubans then began rapid
fire, while men stationed above cut,
through which the Spanish had to
pass. hurled hand 'grenades among
them. In a short time over thirty
Spanish soldiers and officers were dis
ablcd. They rallied and returned the
fire but could do little, as the Cubans
were almost invisible and their own
columns were badly demoralized. The
Spanish columns finally retreated. or"

them and firing all the while. When
the second wires in their rear were
struck panic ensued, the soldiers for
getting all discipline and running for

equipments. Over forty.five spaniards
were buried by the Cubans and 100
taken prisoners. The latter, except

e NVAsMINsToN, Jan. l4.Secretary
Olney, replying to question Of the
Russian minister, e. Dc Kotzebue, rs
ito whether the arbitration treaty with
England was offensive and defensive,
or anything in the nature Of an
alliance. said that the question might
be answered yes and no. That in
theory and diplomatic acceptance it
was not an alliance, but that it is an
alliance in support of the Monroe
doctrine, which England recognized
by the terms of the Venezuelan treaty.
4ss,If the arbitration treaty is ratified, !"
Mr.. Olney says, ''it practically makes
Great Britain our ally for the main
.itenance and enforcement of the
\ Monroe doctrine The correspondent
of the London Chronicle, commenting
upon the above. says: "Mr. Olney
recognizes that England is the more
natural ally of America than Russia,
whose hitherto professcd friendship
for the United States is merely hatred
of England. 1t is probable that Russia
will do her best to persuade the senate
not to ratify the treaty" The
Chronicle, in an editorial, regards the
foregoing matter as of the deepest
Importance and says that it desires
nothing better than that Russia
should take the course indicated.
The scales will then fall from Ameri.
can eyes, it concludes.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-Thc foreign Office
has received private confirmation of
the news from Bonny, on the Guinea
coast, telling of the massacre of Consul
Phillips and his companions while on
u peaceful mission to Benin City. The
news has created q great sensation, as
the victims are we'll known. It is
stated in the foreign Office advices
that the party was unarmed when it
left the consulate at Benin. They
were surprised and massacred on the
frontier territory of Benin City. The
object of the murder is not yet known
Benin City is within the Niger pro-
.tcctorate, and is sixty miles up the
river Benin. The population is 10000
and is governed by fetish priesthood,
which is notorious for human sacrifice.
1t is thought that the massacre is

PATENT LAW PRACTICE.

poHdent at Laurcns, Iowa, asks, "What
liability attaches to an applicant for
patent who proceeds to manufacture
the article for which che patent is APP
piled before the patent is granted in
case the application should be re-,
fused?' Answer:-As rule when an
inventor applies for a patent in good
faith and finds he has been an.
3ticipated and that his invention is sub
ordinate to prior patent and then
quits, that is the end of the matter.
But at the same time he would be
liablelf prosecuted for infringement
and the general rules concerning
5-'-7 IA, TOES will apply. But the fact that
sfringer supposed himself to be
first original inventor of the sub
Il matter covered by prior patent
