 The military and poll taxes have hith- erto been generally evaded, and the new statute is the outcome of the appeal which municipal and town authorities made to the legislature for an effec- tive remedy against the wholesale dodg- ing

STRIKES IN THE STATE.
Strike in Norwich.

Norwich, July 16.-Sixty moulders of the Richmond Stove works met last night and voted to strike because they were dissatisfe with the wages and wanted an advance and change in the scale. They will probably go out as there has been no agreement to-day. An Increase Given-More Would be
 Ruinous
 Hartford, July 16.-The CapeWell Horse Nail company has granted the girls in it's employ an advance of wages but not 25 per cent. as was demanded by the girls when they struck.
 MT. Capewell said that if such an in crease was allowed that the works would have to close in order not to lost money The company, however, by an agreement to meet the sorters and packers half way, will grant cer- tain increase in present rates. MT. Capewell said that that increase would probably be about 10 per cent, Under an increase of 25 per cent, {" said Mir Capewell, ''it is cheaper for the firm to leaf than to work.

Farrel Foundry Employe Did Not Wor
 Smith th

Derby, July 16.-David Smith, the roll turner. who went hack to work in the Farrel foundry at Ansonia last night and who was serenaded by the strikers and their sympathizers, did not go to work this morning, but instead went blackberrying.
 Several hundred persons joined in outbreak last night and up to o'clock this morning were creating a great noise about the vicinity of Smiths house. But no damage was done and no arrests were made, although the po- lice were joined by a number of depu- ties in patroling the district.
 William Valentine, the colored man who was escorted by sheriffs to his home after working in the machine shop this morning, did not return to work as he was obliged to promise not to do so last night.
 At the Birmingham iron foundry this morning seven men had reported to work. They came in from outside the town last night and are quartered in the foundry yard in a cottage. It is expected that more men will be brought at once to work at the shop
 The first real break in the strike in this section came this afternoon when it was announced that a settlement had been made with the striking machinists at the Whitlock Machine company.
 Thirty-one of the forty men who struck will go back to their work In the Shelton factory tomorrow morning and those who have refused are dis charged Whether the settlement is with the sanction of the union or not cannot be learned. The men get no concessions from the company,
 An extra consignment of sheriffs ar rived this afternoon from New Haven, and were stationed about the factory of the Birmingham iron foundry for picket duty. So far there has been no serious trouble.

TRIBUTE 10 GRANT

TONG RESSMAN LANDS, of Indi- Grant at New York OH the occa sion of the celebration of the scvcnty-ninth anniversary of the great soldiers birthda y, among the oratorical gems, uttered the following:
 How incomparably great and gen tie Grant was in victory. Buckncr surrendered internationally at Donel- son, and late that night Grant sought him out and talked over West Point days, then divided money with him. The surrender at vicksburg was the most momentous mp to that time since the invention of gun and powder. and yet that great army marched ont and stacked arms without SO much as A cheer from the throats of the victors- Grant had asked them to refrain from any demonstration that would add to the humiliation of the conquered And when the last gun had been fired and the foe was in the dust of defeat Grant was that foes best friend. Grant gave him rations. Grant told him he could retain his horses as he would need them to cultivate the crops Johnson proposed to arrest Lee and try him for treason when Grant told him if he did it would resign his com mission in the army. And when Sum ner, shortly after the war, proposed a great painting in the rotunda of the capitol representing Lees surrender. Grant killed the proposition, stating that he was unwilling that anything comme norating the victory of one sec ton of the country over the other should be perpetrated in the nations capitol. Great, mighty, modest. thoughtful Grant,"

Nor few lovers of ulolasses will be interested in the remarks of Mir. Emile JaI1in, of New Orleans. who said: There is practically none of the old fashioned New Orleans molasses, of which we were all so fond in our boy1ood days Its disappearance is due 10 the general use of the cen;ri- fugal process in manufacturing sugar The molasses and syrup of today are mostly glucose, and strange as it may seem, New Orleans Is one of the larg- est consumers of glucose in the World. Glucose is made from corn. l. is sweet, though not nearly 50 sweet as the juice of the sugar cane. and incl dentally is the most indiges,ible thing in the world. The dealers of New Or leans are Tesponsi bie for the immens SC consumption of glucose there. An in- vestigation by the sugar exchange de veloped this. IL was discovered that they added about three barrels of glu- cose to each barrel of ulolasses and sold the mixture as New Orleans mo lasses.'

ABOUT iMPt RIAL

ELSEWHERE is published some ex- IL tracts from the IMPERIAL PEESs, published in the new settlement on what was a short time ago the desert section of San Diego county, says the San Diegan-Sun. but which can no lorger be fairly called the desert. It is now being made to grow things.
 The water has been turned on but short time, but, as shown by reports, they already have corn, millct, sorg- hum, melons and other crops growing. The reports also show that settlers are coming in, and the business of the town is increasing.
 Tn our opion no San Diegan will ever overestimate the importance of that country. The work of development there is as yet at its very beginning The water arrived during the hottest season of the year, when prejudice as we'll as heat operated to prevent de- velopment work. But the water is there, and the heat of this summer will soon disappear, and then will come tremendous growth. By this time next year 100000 and perhaps 3OO,OOO acres of producing land will be added to this county, and the ultimate add ition may easily be more than a mill lion acres.
 IL is for San Diegans to say right now whether that trade is to come this way or go to some other city. We know the people there want to come this way, and we also know the people here want them to come this way.

The Corn Crop.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson if keeping his
head these days with regard TO the crop of the
country, and is quoted saying that the press re-
ports are sensational and misleading. For my
SELF" says he, II think will have plenty of corn
in this country. The great corn belt of this conn
try is east of the Missouri river and west of the
Ohio l have not yet anything to indicate
that there has been a large amount of damage in
this area of country am going to wait, there
fore, until hear whether the drought has been
disastrous to Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana,
Michigan and Wisconsin before l become really
alarmed"
If, however, it should be found that serious
disaster has befalleu the coru crop its extent can
be gathered when it is known that the crop IS
the first in point of total value in the United
States. From 1879 to 1900 the total annual value
of corn, based on the farm price on the first OF
December of each year, has ranged between $500,
100000 aud $3.50 600 600 Only once has it fallen
below the smaller amount, while five times it has
has exceeded the larger. The United States sup
plies about - per cent Of the worlds product.
