\ London writer says: A dlsap-
pointing feature is the continual dull
ness of the New York market and the
fact that Cuban centrifugals remain
so much below the world 5 parity
European operators seem to have
been disturbed because on the 18th we
predicted a decline soon to 4.24c. Inc
decline occurred on the 18th, as fore
casted, and did not prove TO be an
Exceptional business, the quotation re
naming current for spot sugars, with
sales thereat. until the oath inst.-l2
days. Europe cannot understand why
our market should continue so much
below the parity of world s basis; as
we have frequently pointed out 1t IS
simply because the supply of duty
free and privileged sugars have been
so abundant for American require
ments as to make our market indie
pendent of the outside world.
OF course there is time enough and
sugar enough left in Cuba for the
planters to realize surplus profits when
they are ready to demand world S
prices. but as mentioned, our refners
are partially prepared for combating
such pretensions by their refined trade
policy.
Foreign letters are beginning to
specify in figures the expected increase
of the next European beet crop ma
turing in October: 100000 tons $50

incline to agree to the conclusion
reached. without: however, endorsing
the figures as yet. 1t is too early to
make estimates, of any value, OF the
next crops.
Latest reports of the Hawaiian crop
show poor yield. on which We have
reduced our estimate 10000 tons, to

Cuba Paintings.
A very we'll informed correspondent
gives us the following report under
date of May 81, 1910: 1t is yet too
early to form any opinion in regard
to damage by drought, of cane which
will be available for next year S
grinding.
The drought in the Santa Clara dis
trict has been most severe; we under
stand the same applies generally to the
southern coast until you reach the
east end Of the island where rains
came early. The first rains in the
neighborhood Of Cienfuegos were re-
ported to us on May 18th. Since then
showers have not been very abundant
In certain localities of the Cienfue-
gos district the fall paintings for 1909
have completely died out, and none of
these paintings have shown any growth
since January. Everything now de-
ponds upon the regularity of rains, and
while present prospects are not at all
favorable, the fields may come on ana
prove better than expected.
The spring paintings of May and
June depend entirely upon immediate
future weather conditions, which now
look more favorable. 1t will be late
| in June or early in July before any
definite opinion can be formed regard
ing the damage done to the fields, or
extent of spring paintings.

SURGEONS GRAFT EYE
OF BLIND CHINESE

NEW YORK, June Through the
transplanting of section of the cor
nea of the human eye, an operation
which was performed today at the
Flower Hospital, the surgeons hope
that the sight will be restoredt to a
Chinese merchant of this city who has
been blind for years
Doctor Royal S. Copeland performed
the operation. When he examined the
eyes of the Chinese he found the cornea
of each eyeball So opaque that the
patient could not distinguish night
from day. Among the older patients
in the hospital was one whose left eve
had been injured so badly that it was
necessary to remove it. The cornea of
was decided to use the cornea of the
discarded eye to remedy the defect in
one of the eyes of the Chinese A cir
cular section Of the opaque cornea OF
the eye of the Chinese was removed.
-Four of the five layers of the cornea
were cut through, the fifth was left
intact, so that the aqueous humor
nigh not escape. The surgeons re-
moved from the normal cornea of the
other patient s eye a section similar
in size and shape and set it in the orr
fee which had been made in the eve
of the Chinese.

Good for Islands.

Mr.. Herbert states that he thinks
that the holding of the fair in San
Francisco in 1915 would be of the
greatest benefit to Hawaii as il will
certainly be very literally patronized
by people from the Orient and Aus
tralia and New Zealand, all of whom
will pass through Honolulu. In add
ton to this the large number of visi-
tors coming to the fair from the other
direction will furnish considerable
quota of visitors for Honolulu.
When Informed that local sentiment
had already been expressed in favor
of helping the San Francisco location
Of the fair, Mr.. Herbert expressed the
greatest qualification and said that
he felt that it would be appreciated
in San Francisco and would be of ma
terial help.

TRAIN WRECKED ON LEDGE
Flyer Hang Over Fifty
Foot Incline.

Joliet, Illinois.-With scores Of
passengers fighting to escape from
the wreckage, four cars of the
Golden State Limited of the Rock
Island railroad hung at the very verge
of a 50-foot embankment near Mi
nooka, when the train left the track
after cylinder head of the engine
had blown out
The wreck missed by a narrow
margin being one of the worst in the
history of the road. Had the coaches
gone a few feet farther and plunged
over the embankment, the loss of life
would have been appalling. The
weight of the heavy engine and the
strength of the couplings was all that
held the coaches.
Only one passenger was seriously
injured. He was Clarence Stone Of
Clinton, Ia, who had three ribs bro
ken. One woman crawled out the
window, forgetting her baby in her
panic and leaving it behind. She be-
came hysterical when she learned
what she had done. A fellow Spas-
senger rescuade her baby for her.

Atlanta, Georgia.-Charles w. Morse
arrived here at 10:45 Monday
morning to begin his 15-year-sentence
for misappropristion of funds of the
National Bank of North America in
New York.
Morse was given a bath, provided
with convict suit and his hair
clipped. He then was taken to cell
and afterward escorted to the great
dining hall. where he found an indi-
vidual table bowl of vegetable soup,
slices of bread and butter, meat and
coffee. After supper he will go to his
cell for the night and in the morning
will be "mugged" and measured for
the Bertillon system.
According to Warden Meyer,
Morse's life will be like that of other
convicts. No favors will be shown
because he once handled millions
Asked what Morse would be put to
work at, the warden said:
Il don't know yet. For man Of
his age l should say the tailor shop
or construction gang"
'By construction gang, do you mean
Morse will do manual labor?" was
asked.

beEeve he will be model prisoner"
The federal prison is of recent cree.
tion. and the government has tried
to make it a model. The prison itself
is an immense brick structure, with
quarters for about 1000 prisoners. 1t
stands in the middle of a 150-acre
tract of land, which is cultivated by
convicts. The structure, from the ex,
terror, does not suggest a prison. 1t
looks rather like a great baronial
castle.
Warden Meyer has advanced ideas
about prison discipline. He does not
believe in bodily punishment. The
interior of the prison is scrupulously
clean and convicts are made to bathe
every day.

opportunity served. | followed him
to the head of the stairs, watching him
closely while he descended, cursing
fiercely to himself at every step until
he finally vanished into the blackness
below The chances were strong that
l should hear from him later, but in
the meantime my interest veered to
the excellent dinner being served. The
lieutenant would have his turn, and,
perchance, bring me swift release
from all my troubles on the morrow.
The English party still remained at
their table, lingering over the dessert,
but l noticed that conversation had
lapsed. and precious little eating was
being done. Evidently only the require
ments of good form held them to their
places, the elderly gentleman especial

room. 1 overheard him mutter some.

left his pistol upstairs, and It was
plainly apparent he felt thoroughly
ashamed of his late passiveness under
insult. Madame was flushed and un-
easy, angry still over the episode, and
greatly inclined to sputter now that
all real danger had passed; but the
younger woman merely toyed with her
spoon in silence. her eyes downcast,
her cheeks devoid of their previous
color. She made a fair picture, the
brilliant light overhead flooding her
dark hair, and 1t was not in young
human nature to refrain from gazing
at her through the invitingly open win
dow. Finally they all pushed back
their chairs to retire, and, as she
glanced up while rising to her feet,
our eyes met fairly, and warm wave
of color swept across the uplifted, SEN
sitive face. The next instant, yielding
apparently to some sudden impulse of
gratitude. she stepped through the
open window, and stood beside me
with extended hand.
"Senor," she said, speaking a broken
Spanish very prettily, ut was extreme
ly kind OF you to assist In removing
that horrible man, and cannot leave

The young girl, her fine eyes con-
temptuous and loathing, turned aside
from the leering, drunken face con-
fronting her. An instant only her
glance rested on the sputtering old
man at the head of the table, then
swept, almost beseechingly, about the
great room. Apparently no one pres
ent had taken the slightest interest in
the affair, with the exception of the
small party of Chilean officers who
were laughing uproariously over their
wine, and the girls gray eyes, now
almost black from excitement, came
back to her prosecutor.
"The dance on the warship, seno-
rita," he insisted, "the gran dance of
my country; 1t will please you mucho.

She perceived me plainly now, lean

part would only serve to hasten my

to hold back. Half rising, and bend

open window, twisted my fingers into
the fellows coat collar, and the next
instant he was lying fiat upon his
back on the balcony floor, nothing re-
naming to show his recent presence
in the dining hall except an overturned
chair.
1t was rather smartly, prettily done,
the astounded lieutenant possessing
neither wind nor opportunity for the
slightest outcry, and once without,
promptly throttled him, meanwhile
muttering few important admoni-
tions into his ear in well-selected
Spanish.
Lie still there, you drunken idiot.

I'll pound your head on these stones.
Bah! save your threats, senior, and If
you make the slightest uproar I'll hoist
you over the railing yonder, and it's

and l pressed the cold muzzle of a re-
volver against his swarthy cheek.
"Oh, you do! Well. you probably
know also how 1t works. Now listen
to me-there are stairs at that corner
yonder; you go down them quietly
and disappeared disappear; do you un-
derstand that? If you dare return to
that dining room tonight, or attempt
again to address that young woman,
