He had made his reputation as an
orator and skillful railroad manager
long before that. however His first
connection with the Vanderbilt inter
ests was in 1866, when he became at
torney for the old New York and Har-
lem railroad company. When the Har-
lem road was consolidated with the
New York Central MI Depew was con-
tinued as general counsel of the con-
solidated roads. When the New York
Central management was reorganiZed
in 1882 he had shown such Skill in
railroad corporation lore and manage
ment that the Vanderbilts made him
second vice president, and. on the death
of President James Rutter in 1885, he
was elected to fill his place. He was
also president OF the West Shore road,
the consolidation of which with the
New York Central has recently been
effected.
Mr.. Depew, as a lawyer, has prac-

es. 1t was as lawyer and politician
that lie achieved his first fame. how
ever He began as politician the
week after graduating from Yale, and
it is only recently that this part of his
wonderful versatility has been cast in
the shade. He started his political
career at Peekskill. the town of his
birth, when the abolitionist republicans
put him up to make speech to tell
the Dutch farmers that the abolition
lists had made convert from the dem
ocrats. All of young Chauncey's Dutch
relatives were democrats, and this
breach in the ranks at Peeksklll was
regarded by the abolitionists as great
triumph. 1t made Depew, Sr, hold
up his hands and say:
If you have a promising sou Of
whose future you expect to be proud
and you want to make ID fool of

talked for an hour and a half, and two
days after the state committee sent
him an invitation to go on the stump.

During the course of the discussion
which recently took place in the French
senate on the subject of the sugar Gu-
ties in that country some interesting
figures were quoted showing the prog
ress of the sugar industry in the three
sugar producing countries, Germany,
France and Austria. During the year
1S14-75 France produced 100000 tons of
sugar, Germany 100000 tons and Aus
tria 100000 tons, while twenty years
later France fell to the third rank, and
Germany produced 1881 900 tons, Aus
tria 1,046,0 900 and France 745,000 tons.
In 1873 France exported 100000 tons
of sugar, Austria $4,000 and Germany
21,OOO, while in 1895 Germany exported
100000 tons, Austria 100000 and
France $4,000 tons. The consumption
in France in 1895 amounted to $4,000
tons and in Germany to $4,000 tons.
The total bounty granted in France on
the manufacture of sugar amounted in
1S84-S5 to G1,O12,000 and in 1896 to
G2,302,000. The quantity Of sugar
consumed per head of the population in
Germany, France and Austria am punt
ed respectively to 1851, 27.S and 1875
pounds.

Hydraulic Lifc-lsoats.

Three of these craft are now in SER
vice in England. The propelling agents
are jets of water driven out by a pow
erful steam pump through nozzles un-
der the water. The nozzles can be
made to drive the boat forward or
backward, or to turn it. the boat of
course being driven by the reaction in
the direction opposite to that Of the
escaping water. A speed of nine miles
an hour was maintained for some two
hours in a trial trip. They are not
economical: their strong point is the
absence of any external paddle wheels
or propellers which are SO liable to
become fouled by wreckage. The boat
has projecting guards. which protect
the nozzles from striking against slips
or docks.

In the last four years, according to
Consul Dickey, at Callao, only one car
20 of wheat has been sent from the
United States to Peru. The reason
why he is not able to explain, but says
hat the cargo referred to went from
San Francisco in October last year.
THE total import of Gillian wheat into
Peru during the year 1897" says the
consups report, amounted to 22,613,-
1873 Kilograms (49,S54,2ls pounds.
These figures show that Chilli supplies
the Peruvian markets with wheat and
aour. But why Chilli and not the Unit
ID States should supply the Peruvian
markets when our products are far su-
perior to those of Chilli do not know,
unless it is due to the very low freights
charged by sailing vessels carrying
wheat from Chilli, which am told are

sui thinks that the first thing to be
done by the United States to gain the
