ROCRVTITE

A large force of Italians which has been
employed on the trolley line has COM
pleted its work and Monday the contract
ors, Hildreth & Co., paid off the men.
The work on the trolley isnow completed
with the exception of few minor matters
which will go over until spring. The city
and town authorities report that they are
willing to grant permission to the trolley
company to run it's cars and ask only
small considerations in return. The city
will require that the track between the
rails on Union street be re-macadamized,
the maoadam now being one or more
inches below the tops of the rails. The
work on the road outside OF the city limits
is supposed to be quite satisfactory to the

company, although running a car into
Rockville every day, will not say when
cars will run to carry passengers.

Senatorial Notes.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Nelson w. Aldrich, tariff leader in

treaty, the tobacco tax and other
questions discussed. The caucus lasted
two hours and at noon a recess was TAX
en- until five O'Clock.
Senator Frye was asked this morning
if the Hawaiian treaty would be ratl'
fed this session. "Not this session, y

One hundred aud twelve thousand

One hundred aud twelve thousand
tons of foreign raw sugar arrived in
the United States last week, at three
ports. Not less than 600 factories,
and probably m ore, were required to
make this sugar. Forty thousand tons
of beet sugar have been made in the
United tates during the last year, or
less than 40 per cent of one week s
arrival of foreign sugar at three ports.
Judging from this there seems to be no
mmediate danger of an noverproduction
of beet sugar in the United States,
and as New Mexico is the favored
spot of all the world for this particul-
ar thing. it should be encouraged to
the greatest extent.-Las Vegas Op-
tic.
