I live at Berlin in a house where
there are eight families, each Of
course inhabiting a separate part.
Only the inevitable piano practices
break through the barriers, and
that is certainly not less the case
here where the walls are so thin
than with us in our more massively
built houses. The only real differ
ence consists in this-that the "cas-
ties" Of the Englishmen are built
up close to one another, while ours
r above n another, and that in
consequence thereof we have our
rooms all on one floor while theirs
occupy several floors. One can safe
ly assert that by far the larger num-
Der of the houses in London have
frontages of only two or at most
three windows in width. They live
on the middle floor, take their meals
on the ground floor and sleep on the
upper floor. AS a consequence there
is a total absence of reception rooms.
Should any one wish to invite the
court to a ball, he has to get large

courtyard for dining purposes, an,
other as a retiring room for the
queen, while the refreshments are

Everywhere there are crushing and
difficulty of moving about. Again
and again you may expect to find in

CUBA AGAIN AN ISSUE.
AMERICANS HERDED IN TOWNS
AND LEFT TO STARvE.
Startling Reports Made by CousnIs on
the Island-Sad Plight of Pacificos-
Theoretically Under Care of Spanish
Our Flag No Protection.

The Cuban question threatens to again
become burning issue and give the peo-
ple something else to think about besides
the tariff. says a Washington correspond
ent. The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations put in most of the time Thurs
day going through reports as to the status
of affairs in Cuba turned over to it by the
State Department. The facts officially
brought to the attention of the Senate
committee were Of startling character.
The general sense of the committee, as eA-
pressed by members of the Senate commit
tee, is that very delicate situation mas
been uncovered by the disclosures OF the.
State Department and that common pru-
dence dictates extra caution in Its hand-
ling. The report of the Subcommittee
appointed to confer with the President
and Secretary Sherman was presented to
the full committee The report consisted
of concise statement of the contents OF
official reports from American consuls IN
Cuba, bringing the information up to
within a week of the present time. rms
report confirms the newspaper reports as
to affairs in the island, and even goes
farther in depicting deplorable situation
than do most of the newspaper stores.
Especial stress is laid upon the condition
of American citizens in the island. OF
these it is positively stated that there
are hundreds in starving condition and
most wretchedly clothed. Deaths OF
Americans from starvation are daily re-
ported. They are scattered in all parts
of the island, and are shown no consld-
GRAFTON whatever because of their Ameri-
can citizenship. They are theoretically
under the care of the Spanish army, but
the army is without a commissariat. They
have no means of leaving the island. Their
condition is pronounced wholly deplora-
BILE. The report also indicates generally
wretched condition of all the inhabitants
Of the island because of the scarcity OF
food and money, especially in the centers
of population, and because also of the
pressure of the most malignant diseases,
such as yellow fever, smallpox and dysen-
terry. These diseases the natives with
stand with comparative ease, but they are
especially oppressive to the Spanish SOL
diery. The reports indicate that the Span
ish army is not SO strong now as it was a
year ago, largely on account of these raw
ages, while they indicate no diminution
of the insurgent forces. The reports up
on which the committees brief was
based were from various consuls, includ
ing Consul General Lee. They make no
recommendations as to American policy,
but merely give the situation as they
see it.

Fire in the Lexington, Ky, court house
Friday afternoon destroyed valuable

placed The building, which was erected
in 1883 at a cost of $125, 600, was dam
aged to the extent Of 100000. Fireproof
floors saved the records in the circuit and

Court Decision on the Illinois INDIE
terminate Sentence Law.

terminate Sentence Law.
Over 1000 Illinois State prisoners who
had hoped for liberty under the expecta-
ton that the indeterminate sentence law
would be declared unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court have been disappointed
and must remain in prison. The court has
unqualifedly declared the law to be valid.
A test case was made of the appeal of
G. e. George, Chicago attorney, who col
lected $3.50 belonging to Title Cutta, a
client, and refused to give it up. George
was indicted April 2, 1892, for embezzle-
ment, tried before Judge Smith, convicted,
and ordered sent to Joliet on an indeter-
inmate sentence After his conviction
and sentence his attorneys appealed the
case, alleging in addition to the unconsti-
tutionality of the indeterminate law, that
if any offense was committed it was
misdemeanor and not a felony, is the de-

the law been pronounced unconstitutional,
as many feared, George would not only
have obtained release, but more than 600
other convicts, who have been tried once,
could not be rearrested or tried again for

OF Interest to Farmers.

A map of the United States, with a
broad red strip running across it from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, will soon ornament
the walls of the office of the Secretary of
Agriculture. This map, and particularly
this stripe, will interest especially two
great classes of citizens of the United
States, the farmers and the capitalists.
Having distributed sugar beet seeds to
about 10000 farmers" said Secretary
Wilson, II want to take up the practical
end of this subject now and show to the
capitalists as well as the farmers where
they can afford to make such experiments
and enter upon such business investments
as are likely to be a success, financially
and otherwise. 1t is evident that the peo-
pie of the United States have faith in the
beet sugar industry. We have supplied
in the last few weeks 10000 farmers of
the country with sugar beet seeds for eX-
periments during the coming season. They
are scattered through practically every
State north of the extreme southern line
of States. The people as far south as
the Carolinas, Tennessee and Texas be-
lieve that they can grow sugar beets sue
cessfully, and we are quite willing to give
them full opportunity to make test ev-
eryWhere. If they succeed in extending
the beet sugar territory down to the very
line of the sugar cane area there ought to
be no difficulty in producing in the United
States all of the $SO,OO0.OOO worth of
sugar for which we are now going abroad
annually. A number of factories are al
ready in process Of erection, and people
with capital are willing and ready to es-
tablish many more of them as soon as
they determine what sections of the coun-
try are best adapted for practical beet
sugar production. Our other experiments
in behalf of the farmers are making good
progress. Our first shipment of butter
to Europe, in the experimental form
which we are trying to utilize, is going
forward now. The butter has reached
New York, several tons of it from the
best creameries of the United States, and
in various forms as to size of package,
method of production, sailing, method, of
packing, etc. Every pound of butter
which we are sending is so recorded as to
its method of production and otherwise
that we know its history and will be able
to judge by its reception and popularity
what ought to be done in future ship
ments."

EXCITED ABOUT THE LEvEEs
Many People Hard at Work Repair
inc Breaks.

Many People Hard at Work Repair
J ing Breaks.
With a slightly falling river and fine
weather the levee excitement at New Or
leans is greater than at any previous
time. The Baton Rouge break at the
Burton lumber mills naturally holds first
place. The break will make it doubtful
if levee can be built around the danger
spots, or whether the whole upper por-
ton of the Pontchartrain line, running
from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, will
be endangered by back-water. The latest
news from the break in the Burton
levee shows large force of men at work
there and the hope is entertained by
those on the spot that the flow Of water
will be checked. Another sensation was
caused by the partial failure of the new
work upon the site of the old Davis Gre
vase, considerable of the box levee built
by the railroads and planters giving
way. New work was started with fully
500 men and the struggle will be inter-
esting. The situation in Bayou la
Fourche, where many rich sugar planta-
tons are situated, has also grown more
critical and no more steamboats, will be
allowed to enter this stream until the
water subsidies.

DEFEAT or HUMPHREY BILLS
cu1mination of q Bitter Battle in the
Illinois Legislature.

Illinois Legislature.
The defeat of the Humphrey bills in
tbe Illinois Legislature was the culmlna-
+ion of tho Interest and most sensational
legislative fight in the history of the state.
For months every paper in Chicago, and
almost all the leading papers OF the stare
have been waging war on these measures,
which aimed to vest the power OF grali AnS
street railway franchises in Chlcago 10
State commission and to extend the Iran-
chises of the present companies My
wears. 1t was openly charged tha1 lho
street railway companies OF Chlcago n~sf
raised a corruption fund OF nearly Pa
OOO. 900 and were offering fabulous orlpeS
r. LEGISLATORS. Mass meetings have beeh
held i'm Chicago almost every night for .ne
mast month, denouncing the bills, at Whlch
Mayor Harrison, Alderman Harlan ana
prominent men in all parties have taken
leading part.
Great excitement on the stock exchange
greeted the announcement OF the de1ear
of the measures. The initial quotation
for West Chicago was 102, and it sold as
low as "a, showing decline. of points
from the opening to the lowest quotation.
The close was only u point above the low
est quotation of the day.
The West Chicago street railway has
capital stock of $13,1S9,0OO. When the
Humphrey bills passed the Senate the
stock sold as high as 1O7. When the bills
were defeated in the House it sold IL
points under this quotation.
The Chicago City Railway has capital
stock of $12,OOO,O00, divided into 10000
shares. From the last preceding quota
tons there was decline of more than lO
points in City Railway in the bid prices
to-day.
Putting together only the three prin-
cpal companies gives the following as the
loss in values:
