was sold this year 550,000 barrels of Irish potatoes at a profit of $1.00o. 900. which means that every man, woman and child in the county would be en- titled to receive, if the money were distributed pro rata. something more than $75 from one crop alone. Potatoes of both kinds arc the chief product in that section. This year there was an extraordinary demand for Irish pota- toes. which has accounted for the high prices. Ordinarily the people are satis- fled with a profit of $1 barrel.

THE SUGAR CROP.
Not Badly Iniured- in Louisiana.


 New Orleans Times Democrat.
 The crop losses from the hurricane of Wednesday and Thursday of last week promises to be small. less than usually comes from a storm of that magnitude, and less even than the first reports indicated.
 As far as sugar is concerned. all the fears that existed have been set at rest. Our reports have shown this, and sSevral sugar growers have declared not only that the crop has suffered no injury whatever, but that it has been practically benefited by the shake up the storm gave it.
 The Louisiana Sugar Planter takes this same view of the matter, and de- clares that the week. storm included, has been a decidedly beneficial one to sugar. The rains benefited the crop and the wind did it no injury.
 From what information we have been able to get" says The Sugar Planter, the storm has produced no damage to the cane crop. The canes in some instances have been blown slight ly at an angle. It is always an evidence of a good crop that cane should be blown down by such storm as it then shows that the canes are big enough to fall In the tropics all canes fall of their own weight by the time of their full development. It can. there fore. be said that the week has been a favorable one for che cane crop"

Both crews, at the start, showed no

TOO RADICAL : BY FAR.
Cuban Convention Rejects Report on
Electoral Legislation.

Cuban Convention Rejects Report on
Electoral Legislation.
Havana, July 10.-The Cuban con.
stitutional convention has rejected the
committees project for an electoral
law by IL to IL. The Conservatives
claimed that the law as proposed was
too radical, inasmuch as it provided
that there should be no interference
with the elections by the central gov
ernment and because the last elec-
tions showed 1t to be impossible to
conduct elections honestly without
some restraining power. They pointed
out that the provinces and munici-
palities were as yet unable to govern
themselves and contended that a free
hand regarding elections would result
in calamity to the country.
In the opinion of the Conservatives
the first election under the election
law should be conducted with safe
guards equal at least to those pro-
vided by the military government.
Rather than accept the committees
project the convention say they would
favor holding the elections under the
existing law and to leave to the re-
public the task Of drawing up suit
able law later. Another objection
was that party lines had not been
clearly defined as yet and the law pro-
vided for political representation on
the election boards, which under ex-
listing conditions would be farce.
General Sanguilly voted with the
Radicals, explaining that although he
did not believe in the projected law,
he thought it would be a better plan
to amend than to reject.
A new commission will be ap.
pointed soon.

All Hope Of Catching Great Northern
Express Robbers Abandoned.
Butte, Mon, July 9.-An Inter
Mountain special from Malta says all
hope Of capturing the Great Northern
train robbers has been aband doned.
One by one the men who accompanied
the authorities in the chase to the
southwark have returned, and the gen
eral opinion appears to be that the
robbers have made good their escape.
The men composing the sheriff's
posse sent out from Glasgow have
despaired Of capturing the men and
the chase has been given up from this
end Of the line.
Hopes are entertained that the rob-
bers may be apprehended while on
their way out Of the state by the au-
thoriues of the southern counties Of
Montana. Experienced trailers are
firm in the belief that the robbers
scattered as soon as they were near
the southern boundary Of the state
and reached the Hole in the Wall by,
circuftous routes. .s3 81
