THE ToULON SENSATION.
That Created by Departure OF Rus
sian Warships Was Artificial.

Paris, April Am official OF the for
eign Office informed a representative Of
the Associated Press today that the
sensation which was created by the de-
parture OF the Russian warships from
Toulon Is quite artificial. II was never
intended that the whole Russian squad
ron should remain there during the
Franco Italian festivities as II was
recognized that the presence OF a third
party would tend TO check the express
sion OF feeling while at the same time
II might invest the events at Toulon
in the minds OF others with triple
political character which they do not
possess. The czar wishes. nevertheless,
that the Russian navy should greet
President Loubet at Toulon and II will
be represented by at least two war
ships, which will stay there during the
festivities, in which their officers Will
participate.
A Russian parsonage In this city who
was interviewed on the subject spoke in
the same strain explaining that had the
Russian officers and warships been in
too great numbers. they might have d.
verted to themselves part OF the demon
strative frlendliness which the Italians
came TO seek in France. He also said
that there had been lack OF discretion
on the part OF the Russian consul at
Toulon and declared that the Russian
squadron had never intended TO take
part In the fetes. He admits that the
departure Of the Russian warships was
FASTENED In order TO cut short the re-
ports IN certain Paris papers which had
been attributing undue significance TO
the Russian squadron at the present
iuncture

SUGAR COMPANY SUIT.
Leonard q. Hardy Institutes Pro-
ceedings On an Old Account.

Leonard G.. Hardy today commenced
suit in the district court against the
Utah Sugar company, According to his
complaint Hardy was one Of the ORR
glnal organizers Of the corporation. and
owned 3QS shares Of It's capital stock.
ON August 2 1896, he executed prom
issory note for 5000 TO the defendant,
which was the amount that he still
owed the company on his stock and de-
posted his certificate Of stock with the
company as security. He claims that
although the note was payable on de-
mand II was understood that he was TO
have reasonable time and opportunity
topay thedebt,and that between Nov q,
1896, and Feb. TO- 1898, he paid 70 the
company s60i0: that on August 10,
1898, the board of directors without sale
or notice 20 or consent Of plaintiff APP
piled his shares Of stock on the note,
that on March 81 1899. he rendered the
defendant s2.SiO.5O in gold coin, the full
amount of his indebtedness 10 the COM
pany, but the defendant refused to
accept the money or deliver the stock
to plaintiff. Since August 10, 1895, the
company has declared several diyl-
dends. and the stock has become OF
great value. and the plaintiff prays that
an accounting may be had Of the amount
OF dividends declared by the company
since August 10, 1895. and that the same
may be credited on his indebtedness TO
the defendant. Plaintiff further prays
that the defendant be required 10 issue
to him 272 shares Of stock and any diyi-
dends In excess Of the Indebtedness
which on accounting may be9f0und TO
exist, or II the defendant is unable to
REISSUE TO him his stock Il be required
10 pay him its value. Brown and Hen

Wheeling, w. Va, April 4.-Reports
from all parts OF West Virginia which
have been kept back by broken wires,
tell Of severe snow, rain and wind
storms There was heavy fall Of
snow all over the State except in the
southeastern part. where there was a
heavy rain Instead. Great alarm is felt
here and at down river points lest there
be food stage In the Ohio. The re-
ports received do not warrant such
fears but the alarm Is caused by fears
that reports kept back by bad wires
may be more dlsquieting. All the small
streams in the upper part Of the State
are bankfull and the lumber men are
suffering great losses. The Little Kan
awha Is rising from headwaters. At
huntsville the river Is a raging torrent.
At Grantsville this morning the stage
was 27 feet with 80 feet expected, which
will do great damage. At that time
logs from the upper river tributaries
which are usually RATED were passing
Grantsville at the rate OF 1900 an hour.
Many OF these will be caught before
they reach the Ohio, but thousands will
be lost,

whose business II Is 10 visit each farm

The great drawback to the beet sugar
industry In this locality, says Mr.. Aus
tin, IL the lack OF labor especially young
boys for the thinning OF the beets, and
while Loyeland is city OF about $500
people, unlike cities In Utah Of similar
population there are very few children,
hence a great scarcity OF that clas Of
labor which is absolutely necessary to
the success Of the beet sugar culture.
Mr., Austin says the land IN this coun-
Try Is very uniform and when condi-
lions are favorable will yield enormous
crops; generally speaking the farmers
there are very progressive and from
present indications the company will
make thorough success and the yield
per acre will be sufficient 70 remuner-
ate the farmers well for the work they
are doing.
Referring to the planting question Mr..
