Sugar Machinery and R. R. Material

Washington, September 20.-It is expected that one of the results of General Woods visit to Washington will be the issuance of orders soon making reductions in cer- tain cases of the Cuban tariff. of which the most important will be on sugar ma chnery and materials for railroad build ing. Anticipating changes in the Cuban tariff, importers have withheld shipments It having been definitely determined that no general revision of the tariff will be made until the Cuban government is formed, the special reductions will be made by the War Department.

Campiegne, September 2O.-Emperor Nicholas exercised the prerogative of an autocrat today and kept President Lou bet and all the French occupants of the Chateau Compiegne marking time until he had signifled his desires. It was fully expected that he would drive to Pierre fonds and visit the castle, and that aft erwards he would go shooting in the great parry attached to the Chateau Com piegne. All the arrangements had been made and five hundred pheasants were let loose from cover But he did nothing of the kind.
 His majesty remained in his apartments after breakfast quietly until 10 o'clock, when he took short promenade in the gardens with the Czarina-
 The Emperor had long interview with M Waldeck- Rousseau, the French premier. It lasted at least two hours. Count Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign minister, also conferred with M.

A Narrow Escape.

A little daughter of George Blakly
and wife, two or three years old, had
a narrow escape from being drowned
last Sunday. She was playing about a
well near the family residence on Sac
ramento street, when some rotten
boards covering it gave way and she
fell into the water about ten feet be-
low, it being seven or eight feet deep.
The child screamed and Mr. Blakly
came to rescue it, but it is doubtful
whether it could have been saved had
not George Combellack arrived with a
rope. With cattle-man's instincts he
made moose and dropped it over the
child's shoulders and pulled her out.
The little one held on to the rope like
a leech and would have probably sup
ported her weight even if the rope had
not been around her. She was partly
resting on piece of board at the bot
tom, which gave them a chance to
save her.-PtacerUiUe Republican.

Education in Porto Rico.

The expense of maintaining schools
in Porto Rico is very high, if we con-
slider the amount spent for the small
number of pupils enrolled; but as that
country is gradually brought in closer
touch with our own, their system will
evidently be changed, until it reaches
our present state of perfection. In this
country the people are being educated
to the fact, that there is a sure cure for
dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation,
liver and kidney troubles, and that
medicine is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. 1t should be taken at the very
first symptom, if you would avoid un-
necessary suffering. 1t will give prompt
relief and eventually cure, as hundreds
of people, including many prominent
physicians, have testified during the
past fifty years.

New Markets.

What would be the result of opening
any one of the thousand valleys of the
West which only await the building of
great storage reservoirs and the utili-
zation of the water saved to convert
them into thriving communities of
small rural homes? A thousand farms
would be quickly created. A thous-
and houses would go up, thousand
families would move into them, and a
thousand farms would want plows and
wagons and machines and harnesses,
while a thousand housewives would
want kitchen and household utensils,
and several thousand people would
want clothes and boots and shoes and
hats and books and papers and fifty
other articles This demand instead
of being supplied once only, would in
crease and go on perpetually. And
the demand for these things would go
to the producing East. This is why
the reclamation of the West would
help Massachusetts.

Cause for Encouragement.

The friends of irrigation need not
fear that because of the adverse treat
ment received by the great number of
irrigation bills and amendments intro
duced in Congress, especially in the
House of Representatives, the national
irrigation cause has suffered. 1t must
be remembered that the irrigation
movement is a new thing in the East.
Prior to the present session of Con-
gress it has hardly been considered
seriously by ten per cent. of the East
ern congressman. And it must be re-
membered that in what may be con-
sidered the early stages of new move
ment, a great mass of literature and
discussion and effort must be put forth
which will serve simply as a means of
directing attention to the subject and
indicating the variety of interests and
purposes favoring and behind it. When
individual efforts and attempts atlegis-
lation in the shape of bills introduced
and amendments offered in Congress
become so numerous and insistent as
to assume the nature of public clam
or, then the proper committee, whet her
hostile or favorably disposed to the
project, must give the matter consider
alton; must gather all the kindred bills
together and formulate from them a
comprehensive measure, and make a
report upon it, This is the situation
in the present short session of Con-
gress. Old and expected legislation is
pressing in great volume for enact
ment, and Congressman are not will
ing, in the limited time at their dis
posal this winter, to take up exhaus-
lively a new question, nor is it the pur-
pose of the friends of irrigation to at
tempt to force the subject. Neverthe-
less every Congressman now knows
that the question is coming one and
question considered to be of great
and pressing interest to large num-
ber of people, including the CONNER
cial sections of the East with their vast
manufactures looking for market for
their products.
The desultory agitation of this SEES
sion on the irrigation subject is serv-
ing its purpose well.

Advice to a Prospector.

The Reno Journals crock sharp
gives advice to a lovelorn prospector
as follows:
''If the young lady declares she will
not marry you unless you stop pros
pecting you should quit at once. If
you had been bred in Old Kentucky,
as was the Rock Sharp, you would
never think, as you seem to be think
ing, of weighing sulphurets against
love. He who would prefer the cold,
ignoble dollar to a warm, endearing
kiss; who would like better to possess
the transmitting touch of Midas than
to thrill beneath the dainty caresses of
rosy fingers, is not worthy to be called
man. If you disregard the lady's
wishes she will most certainly con-
clude that yoa are of a base, antimon-
ial nature, very hard to work and con-
sequently of little value for matri-
monial purposes. I, myself, do not re-
gard you as free-milling proposition,
and am of the opinion that you should
be thoroughly roasted preliminary to
other operations. Give your blankets
to an Indian and sell your team of
jacks, reserving only yourself"

plant in the world has just been

to Cuba. The capacity of the mills
and refinery is 10000 tons of cane

much increased before long, as the
company-the Chapparra Sugar Co.

sugar lands in Cuba. The cost of
the plant was over $150,0OO. Ex-

planter in Louisiana, and his course

ton with the Gulf Safes unless a
