It is all of n piece with the tyrannical
French Government that lola 5 friends
should be punished for their share,
however slight. in his recent trial one
would think France had returned 10 the
days when any objectionable person
could be clapped into the Bastilc, for
this beautiful third republic goes the
monarchy one better. and out-Ilerods
Ierod by Furnishing IA mans defenders.
1t is hoped that Col. Picquart is not
cast down by being placed on the half
pay of lieutenant, and not being per-
mitted to wear military uniform. His
turn will come yet, and though there
are no more Bastilcs to be destroyed,
what now stands for that prison must
in time be also overthrown. 1t is
known that states and nations die like
everything else in nature, that fashions
pass and are reborn once in so many
decades. and it may be that the fashion
of tyranny is to return by way of Paris.
At all events. the spirit that fostered
the Commune is rife.

The details Of the terrible heat which
MES OF Australia show 1t to have been
one OF the most fearful natural vista
tons OF modern times. The water in
the wells and streams dried up and
large rivers shrunk to the size Of
bitches, miles and miles of farms were
burned over, and townships were blot
ted out by bush fires. The shipping
was stopped by the dense clouds Of
smoke. The fish In the rivers and the
cattle and sheep on the plains were de-
stroyed and no one knows how many
human beings were lost. The towns
and cities were filled with crowds OF
half-naked and terror stricken people
who had lost everything they had In
the world. Following the awful bis
tering heat came storms and tornadoes
which added to the terror and then cpl
denies began their deadly work. The
visitation extended as far south as Mel
bourne. 1t will be long time before
Australia will recover from the disas-
ter The harvests were destroyed, and
having no wheat to export the Austria
lians have had to purchase and have
been sending their gold to San Fran
cisco for that purpose. The pasturage
was also destroyed, which means the
loss Of the sheep. AS 1t Is the great
wool producing section Of the world.
1t follows that the price Of wool will 50

The large increase In the consump.
tion OF sugar In the world has made
the yield Of that staple the subject 1T
considerable investigation. The nor
NAL yield Of sugar in the world ia
100000 tons per annum, Of which
something over half comes from beets.
The cane sugar comes chiefly from the
West Indies and the island Of Java.
The growth Of the beet-sugar industry
In the United States has become
very important item in our domestic
trade. In 1883 our product was $500
tons; In 1890 It was $4,000 tons; in 1894
1t was 10000 tons, and last year 1t
reached $1,000 tons, and the business
Is a. yet in its infancy. Very much Of
this increase IL due to the bounty paid
to sugar producers by the government
between July. 1891. and July, 1895.
That sugar Is as necessary rs salt for
human food is claimed by medical men.
but the amount consumed per capita
seems to bear no relation to the actual
necessities Of the human race. 1t seems
to be a rule that In those countries
where the spirit OF navigation. conf
merce. travel and colOnizati ton Is strong
the general consumption of sugar Is
large, whereas In those countries where
such spirit Is not dominant the de-
mand for sugar Ia diminished. In Eng
land. which Is clearly first among the
maritime nations, the consumption Of
sugar Is SO pounds per capita annually;
in Denmark It is A.; In Holland. 81: in
France. 30; In Norway and Sweden. Is;
In Russia, 10; IN Italy, Z; in Turkey. 4:
IN Greece. 8: and in Servia. 4. In the
United States the consumption Of sugar
per capita has very steadily increased
for many years. In 1873 the amount
was 81 pounds for each individual, in
1881 1t was ~ pounds. In 1885 II was SO
pounds. In 1891 1t was 66 pounds. but
in 1897 1t was u pounds. 1t does not
seem to make much difference with the
use Of sugar whether or not a nation
produces 1t, for In Austria, the sugar
yield Of which is very lrage, the people
use only 10 pounds each, yet in Switzer-
land. where no sugar at all ia produced.

pOuuuS. Vic WOulu uHuCdIly suppose
that the two peoples who use the most
tea would use substantially the same
quantity Of sugar, but take England
ana Russia. the two great tea drinking
peoples Of Europe: the one uses 81
pounds OF sugar per capita and the
other only 10. There Is no doubt tina
a very large proportion Of the sugar
usesi by a nation Is eaten in the form
OF confectionery. Candy Is used more
and more by individuals who have long

PROCToR'S FRANKNESS
Would Like to Let Go but Does Not
Really Know How

MONTPELIER, VT, Nov. 3.-United
States Senator Redfield Proctor, who ar
rived here yesterday, after trip abroad,
this afternoon addressed the joint assembly
OF the house and senate which last month
reelected him. Senator Proctor's address
was brief, and was confined to an outline
of the foreign situation which confronts
the government of the United States. The
senator said:
'The future policy of this country is the
greatest question before our people. Hawaii
and Porto Rico have been added to the ma
tion's dominion, and we have become spon-
sors for the good government of Cuba. We
must assume some responsibility in the far
east, whether it be greater or less. In my
opinion the responsibilities in the far east
are bound to be greater. Many wise and
patriotic men in the country believe we
should retain no territory nor control any
part of the Philippines beyond coaling sta
ton, or possibly a single island. l recognize
the cogency of their argument, but have
failed to see clearly any practical way of
carrying out their views. If any jurisdic-
tion is assumed in the east there is no logical
stopping place short OF the whole of the
Philippines. To establish divided SOW
ereignty would invite trouble Since that
May morning when the Spanish fleet was de-
stroyed, it has seemed to me practically
settled that Spain must surrender her entire
control of the Philippines. You will pardon
me if | have spoken too plainly, but it
seemed to me that a frank statement of
what l believe would be the inevitable out
come was not improper at this time"

BLAME IS NOT LOCATED
FOR COLLISION OF PETERS AND
GRAHAM
BOTH VESSELS BADLY INJURED
But the sunken Ship Will Be Raised
and the Stove-In Collier
Patched UP
Associated Press Special Wire

STOCKTON, CAL, Nov. "A variety of
opinions have been expressed here by pas.
sengers Of the ill-fated steamer j. ID. Peters.
who returned here this morning on the
Captain Eber, as to where rests the blame
for the accident. Some are of the opinion
that the blame lies with Captain Holds
worth of the Peters, while the majority are
of the opinion that the captain of the col
lier Czarina is responsible. There are a
few who believe that both were in measure
to blame. Alex. Cohen, one of the Peters
passengers, says that he saw a man iump
overheard and heard him cry for help: he
is of the opinion that the man was drowned.
1t is also believed that some Cinnamon were
buried beneath the heavy piles of merchan.
disc which were knocked over in the hold
by the shock of the collision, and being I'M
able to extricate themselves, were drowned
So far as known, no one is missing, however.
There is considerable adverse comment here
against the action of the collier for continu
ing on its course after the accident, though
signals of distress were made by the Peters.
The Navigation Company, owners of the
Peters, will take steps to raise the sunken
vessel.
Both vessels were very badly damaged
by their collision off Angel Island. and
neither will be ready for service for at
least a month
1he Peters still lies on the Belvidere
shore, off Richardson's bar. Her lower deck
is submerged at high water, and in conse-
quence nearly all her cargo is destroyed
Her entire stem is stove in She is living
in about twenty feet of water, but there will
be no difficulty in raising her by means of
pontoons. The chances are that she will be
patched up and then towed to Stockton for
an overhauling.
c. D, Clark of the California Navigation
and improvement company visited the
wreck today on the steamer Caroline, and re-
moved large quantity of material from
the cabins of the Peters to this city.
Six women, one child and two or three
men, passengers on the Peters, remained on
Angel Island all Wednesday night. They
could have proceeded to Stockton on the
Captain Weber, but refused to go. They
were brought to this city on the government
tug General Mcdowell, and started for
Stockton tonight on the Mary Garrett.
Pilot McNeal was at the wheel when the
collision occurred.
The Czarna lies at Howard-street wharf.
with big hole in her port bow, which was
plugged up by portion Of the Peters bow
There was another hole below the water
line, which would have caused her to sink
had it not been for her water-tight compart
ments.

spectors Of hulls and boilers early next
week, and until that is concluded 1t will not
