From the Baltimore Sun.
New York, Nov. 19.-Alphonse ].
Stephani is civilly dead. though
wealthy. He is a life convict at the
Clinton State Prison at Dannemoro,
n. Y, having murdered the trustee of
his fathers estate, Clinton G. Rey-
nolds. With a considerable income. he
must continue TO eat the regular pris-

passed emitting Yale 10 representation

The reason Yale asks for representa-

was tackled by n vicious bull while en-
gagged in attending TO his chores on his
farm 81 miles north and | mile west
OF here about 4 o'clock on "Wednesday
afternoon. There are two buildings
close together on the place and IL was
in this narrow space with no avenue of
escape where the bull chased Mr.. Mon
Afghan and gored him so badly that
little hopes are entertained for his re-
cOyery.
Mr.. Monaghans right shoulder was
dislocated, and four or five ribs were
broken, the bones piercing his lungs.
At the time OF the accident there was
no one home but Mr. Monaghan and

danger his master was In, managed to
drive of the bull
IL is hoped that his injuries may not
prove fatal.

B. & o. Plans.

The demand for West Virginia coal

to build an entirely new line from Man

sion near Fairmont. TO ,he Ohio River.
and then through Ohio TO he New Cas-
tie division. about twenty miles west Of
Akron. This would have given a low
grade line to the lakes and Chicago, but
IL developed that the CIevelaud. Lorain

made, and IL was found that its grades
could be reduced and alignment changed

JAPANESE METHODS
OF SUGAR REFINING
Industry Developed Within Thirty
Years.

IN an interesting communication, +.
C. Bellows. United States Consul Cen
eral at Yokohama. writes the State De-
partment concerning the subject OF
sugar refining in Japan. He says:
Sugar has been produced in Japan
from very early times (since about
300 A. D., it is said. but formerly the
sugar was used without being refined.
and the present conditions Of the in
dustry have developed within the last
thirty years The climate. even in the
southern part or the japanese group,
is too cold for sugar cane to grow
throughout the year. and 1t does not
blossom within the six months suitable
for growth. nor does it produce sugar in
such abundance as when raised under
more favorable conditions. The au-
nual production, exclusive Of Formosa.
is now reported at a little less than
1000 tons, almost a negligible quantity
in view Of the importation of 152. 900
tons OF raw sugar and 176.Oe0 tons Of
refined.
There are many sugar-refning com
panies in Japan. most Of them situated
in the southern part Of the islands. the
total capital invested in this industry
being about 10000. 900 yen (S5. 600 .OOO)
Except in Formosa-which. although
now part OF the japanese Empire.
has separate officers and laws-the in
dustry receives no direct aid from the
government, and has been very unfav-
orably affected by the bounty system
in vogue in Europe. The capital in
vested has yielded a rate OF about five
per cent profit. which is very low as
compared with current interest rates
In this empire. but the outlook for the
business is much more hopeful now.
in consequence OF the agreement by the
representatives Of the sugar producing
countries to the Brussels convention
Of last summer
In 1901 the average import price of
refined sugar was IS cents per hun
dredweight higher than that OF the
unrehned. and the duty on refined up
to No. 20 Dutch standard was 49-5
cents per hundredwcight more than
on unreined. On upward Of 30.
20 Dutch standard the duty was co.,
6G7 cents moro than on unreaned.
making a difference of s1.445 and 1857
per hundredweight. respectively. on
these grades. TO cover the working ex-
penses and profits of the Japanese re
hneTies. The tariff on the unrehned
sugar has since been raised and that
on the higher grades has been decreas-
ed. SO that the reineries now have less
protection than formerly
THE greater part of the refined sugar
imported Is brought from Hongkong
and Germany. and that from the latter
country pays a conventional tariff OF
