Mr.. Boyd has returned and his state
ments in answer to the questions pro-
pounded by the Governor, are awaited
with interest by the island public. SO
far he has said nothing definite to the
press, except that he will account for
every cent of the Davies fund. AS to
other matters which the Governor has
brought TO his attention, Mr.. Boyd
withholds comment. Probably, in the
course of few days, he will have
something to say. In the meantime his
office will remain in charge of Secre-
tary Cooper.

PEACE WITH HONOR.

The hopes of the mainland Democra-
cy that the coal strike would go on
until LATTER election and SO make effec-
tive the empty coal scuttle" issue,
have been dashed by the success OF the
Presidents negotiations. The great
strike has now been practically con-
cluded on terms that are satisfactory
to both sides. The production of coal
has doubtless by this time been resum-
ed and as retail prices fell in anticipa-
ton of it the suffering of the people has
been somewhat relieved. Happily no
cold snap occurred up to the 18th of Oc-
tober when our advices closed. to cause
any extraordinary draft upon the linn
tied supply of coal remaining.
The President must have gained great
prestige by his part in the negotiation
Though an invalid under the surgeons
acteristic way to solution of the trou-
bles. What seemed to be an irrecon-
cilable conflict he has easily assuaged
and what the Democrats exultantly
called an impasse between capital and
labor, he has levelled by his diplomacy.
The simplicity of it all evoked surprised
comment in Europe; the immense utili-
ty of it receives general applause at
home
We may now anticipate no serious
trouble in the Congressional elections.
Before the strike, Republican victory
was as good as won; but when the row
was at it's height the loss of several
Republican seats was expected by Re
publicaas themselves, But the reaction
which the President has brought about
ought to restore things as they were
and make Republican victory certain
at the November polls.

Col. ]. H. Soper returned in the Sierra
yesterday from a business trip through
the States, of several months duration
Mr.. Soper visited New York, Chicago,
Seattle, San Francisco and other i'm
portant trade centers. In all of these
places he reports that business was
prosperous and the business men make
no complaint about hard times. The
enure country seemed busy and mer-
chants expect prosperity to continue for
two years at least, or until the next
Presidential election.
Col. Soper had two narrow escapes
from railroad accidents. On one occa-
sion in Minnesota he was on .raia

SUGAR CONSUMPTION.

The people of the United States now
consume eight times as much sugar per
capita as they did in the first quarter of
the last century, four times as much as
the average per capita during the dec
ade ending with 1850, and twice as
much as they did in any year prior to
1870 In the years Immediately prior to
1926 the average consumption of sugar
was about eight pounds per capita, in
the decade 1S40-50, about ten pounds per
capita, in the years Immediately prior
to 1870 the average was about thirty
two pounds per capita (omitting the
war years, in which the consumption
was light, from 1870 to 1880 it averaged
about forty pounds per capita, from
1880 to 1890 fifty pounds per capita; in
1891 the figure was sixty-six pounds per
capita, and has ranged from sixty-two
to sixty-eight pounds per capita since
that time, the figure for 1901 being six
ty-eight and four-tenths pounds.
This steady growth in the per capita
consumption of sugar is shown by some
figures which the Bureau of Statistics
will present in the next issue of it's
annual volume, the Statistical Abstract.
The per capita consumption has been
matter of record during recent years,
but it has not been before practicable
to compare the per capita consump-
ton of recent years with that of earlier
years and to note the very rapid in
crease in the quantity consumed by
each individual of the country.
This growth in the consumption of
sugar is, evidently, not confined to the
people Of the United States. The in
crease seems to have been equally rapid
in other parts of the world, judging
from the figures of total production.
Figures recently published by the Blu
reau of Statistics in it's monograph,
1.-THE Worlds Sugar Production and
Consumption, showed that the sugar
production of the world was eight times
as great in 1900 as in 1910, the figure
for 1910 being 1,15O0OO tons and that
for 1900, $4,000 tons. This increase in
production, and consequently in con-
sumption, has come largely through
the development of the beet sugar in
dustry. which increased from a pro-
duction of $4,000 tons in 1910 to 100000
tors in 1850, 831 900 tons in 1870, 100000
tons in 1880, 3,633,0o0 tons in 1890, and
$3.50 900 tons in 1900. During the same
time, cane sugar production increased
from 1,i000OO tons in 1910 to 2,S50.00
tons in 1900. Beets in 1910 supplied ass
Ter cent. of the total sugar product
eff the world; in 1885, they supplied 1923
per cent; in 1860, 2O.4S per cent; in
1870, 34.40 per cent; in 1890, 63.70 per
cent, and in 1900, 67.71 per cent
The per capita consumption of sugar
in the United States is greater than
that of any other country, except the
United Kingdom, in which the annual
consumption ranges from eighty-five to
ninety-one pounds per capita, against
from sixty to sixty-eight pounds in the
United States, the figure of consump
ton for 1900 in the United Kingdom
being GIG pounds per capita.
The following table shows the per
capita consumption of sugar in the
United States and the principal Euro
pean countries in 1900, the latest avail
able year:

CRAFTSMANSHIP ON
DECLINE In THE ARMY
Order Rehabilitating Small
Arm Practice.
Days Training Before Being As
signed to Commands.

The officials CT the War Department are
much disturbed over reports recently re-
ceived from the Philippines relative to
the deterioration in the craftsmanship OF
enlisted men. The policy of ordering re-
cruits to duty with General Chaffees
army without preliminary instruction in
the use of small arms is said to be ac-
countable for the falling off in the marks
manship Of the army.
A general order is now being prepared
under the instructions of General Miles
rehabilitating small arms practice in the
army. The order will provide that in
the future, every recruit shall be given
from thirty to sixty days training in
craftsmanship before he is sent abroad.
1t is believed that this preliminary in
3truction will place the army upon the
same footing as regards the use of small
arms as it was prior to the Spanish war.

RESULT OF SMALLPOX SCARE.

FurIouGhcd Yesterday.

Eleven Clerks in REGISTERS OHce
Furloughcd Yesterday.
Eleven young women employed as
clerks in the Office of the Register of Wills
were yesterday furloughed for an in
definite period. Register Dent said that
this was the result of the smallpox scare,
which had caused the business OF the
Probate Court to fall off to such an ex-
tent during the last few days as to leave
he working force in the Office in practical
idleness.
Ever since Monday last. when Mr..
Delmos C. Stutler, clerk in the Office,
was declared by the Health Officer to be
infected with smallpox, lawyers and the
employees OF the title companies have been
giving the Registers Office a wide berth.
Only when it is actually necessary, since
Monday, nave persons entered the office.
The work of examining the records by
attorneys and others. except newspaper
men, is practically abandoned.
The furloughed clerks were taken from
the different departments OF the office.
Among those given indefinite leave of alb
sence are three clerks employed at card
indexing, three copyists. three comparers,
and two typewriters. OF the whole num-
Der three of the ladies' had but recently
been employed by the Register.

LONDON, Feb. 21.-The officers of the
Bank of England state the police authori-
ties are already following a promising
clue in their investigation of the circu-
lation of the forged e5 notes.
The announcement this morning that
these clever forgeries were in circulation
did not cause the rush to the bank of
those anxious to determine whether they
held the counterfeit notes, as is custom
airy in such cases.
For this reason it is believed that only
few of them are still i'll circulation.
