Sugar Traffic Rulings.

New Orleans.-An important ruling
affecting the great sugar traffic of
New Orleans has been made by the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
and The ruling makes clear certain
phases OF the fourth section of the
act IL regulate commerce.
Under the ruling the Missouri Pa
cific and its connections were au-
thorized to continue lower rates on
sugar from New Orleans and other
producing points in Louisiana to Hell
ena, Ark, Memphis, Cairo and ST.
Louis, then to intermediate points,
provided that on or before November
Is rates to intermediate stations
south of Arkansas City, Memphis
and st. louis are corrected not to
exceed from % cents to 2s cents per
100 pounds.
The carriers were authorized to
continue lower rates on sugar from
New Orleans to Chicago and Missis-
sippi river points north of st. Louis,
then to intermediate points, provid-
ed the present disparity between
rates to more distant and intermedi-
ate points is not increased.
Under the same conditions the
Union Pacific and the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific were authorized to
continue the lower rate to Omaha,
Neb.

STUDENTS IN THE
L0UVA|N COLLEGE.
NINETEEN CATHOLIC PRIESTS
OF NEW ORLEANS DIOCESE
EDUCATED THERE.

New Orleans.-The destruction Of
the beautiful Belgian city of Louvain
by German troops struck with poig-
nant force nineteen Catholic priests
of the archdiocese of New Orleans,
who are graduates of the American
College established in that city more
than half a century ago.
Three Louisianians are enrolled as
students at the American College. but
at the time of the city's destruction
the college was closed for the sum-
mer, and most OF the students were
spending their vacations in other
countries. The three Louisiana sem
inarians who luckily were on vaca-
ton when the destruction of Louvain
was recorded, August 90. the blacklist
Friday in the ancient city's history
are: Lucien Caillouet. son of Judge
Cailouet of Thltodauv. La: Charles
Greco Of New Orleans and Lcseman
Simoneaux of Plattenville. La. The
first two are in Italy, and when the
war broke out Mr. Simoneaux was in
Germany. They have been students
at the Louvain institution one year.
One of the nineteen priests of this
diocese who were educated at Louvain
is Rev. Theophile Stenmans, rector
Of ST. Joseph's Church at Gretna.
Father Stenmans attended the Amer
lean College at Louvain between 1894
and 1897, when Mgr. WILKINSON was
rector Of the college. He spoke feel
ingly Sunday afternoon OF the prob
able destruction of his alma mater.
While he had no actual knowledge
that it was destroyed, the telegraph
news left him no hope, in view OF his
knowledge of the situation in the I'll
destined city. The American College
Is or was in the Rue de Namur, op-
posite the artillery barracks. Its
proximity to the military establish
ment probably destroyed whatever
chance it may have had of escape
from the torch and the bomb.
Father Stenmans was the project
OF the college the last year of his
residence there, and he spoke with
much feeling of what he declared to
be the destruction of one of the
principal seats of learning in the
world. the American College alone
having sent owe 500 pri SITS o rhe
missionary work in this country.
In the city, in addition to its ma,
colleges, were more than 10 .'on-
vents conducted b. religious ord, rs
Father Stenmans is a Hollauder,
whose native place is close to the
northern boundary of Belgium. He
is recently in receipt Of letter from
his mother, written since the inva-
sion of the little kingdom began. in
which she spoke of her visit to a
hospital and Of seeing children whose
bodies had been mangled by shells
in the bombardment of some of the
Belgian towns.

TROPICS DEMAND
LOUISIANA RICE
ONE EFFECT OF EUROPEAN WAR
WILL BE TO BOOST RICE
INDUSTRY.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New Orleans.-Louisiana rice boost
&c by the war, will reach record prices
this year, due to the demand from
tropical countries. Cuba will be one
Of the best customers, while demands
hare come from as far as Venezuela
ani other countries.
Figures show that people living in
tropical countries consume 100 pounds
a year. while the average American
eat, but six pounds. AS the result
with demand from tropical countries
the crop will fade into insignificance
no natter how large. So far only the
river rice has been harvested. This
was of fine grade and brought a good
price. Next month the crops of south
west Louisiana will be harvested if
rains do not interfere too badly.
Tie European nations at war also
are expected to demand American
rice. AS a result by October | the
lines of demand will be very well
known and the growers who have a
strong selling organization will reap
a harvest on even the grades that
generally take second place. North
ern buyers are already complaining
about the price which is considered
good sign.

Cities have sprung up along the banks of the
st. Lawrence Father Point has grown from a
point OF rock to a town with a wireless telegraph
station and with lifesaving equipment. The peo-
pie OF that place do not believe in supersttions.
They are new race. The conquering English
have succeeded the French and have occupied its
business streets. But back IN the hills and woods
and along the waters Of the Rimoush the fish,
ermen who make their living from the Lake
des Bales, still tell the stories of the disasters
that have befaen travellers the St Lawrence
or those who roam the woods when the star Of
ill-omen stands above Father Point
Recently there was a great ship disaster in the
st. Lawrence. The Empress of Ireland with
Captain Kendall in command sank in a few min
utes after she had been rammed by a collier in
the ST. Lawrence
Because Of the quickness Of the time in which
the Empress of Ireland sank many Of the passen-
gers were caught in their berths and drowned
like rats in a trap. Then the ship listed to one
side so that the lfeboats could not be put of on
the other side Of the vessel where the hull doomed

women and children first was hardly obeyed. 1t
was case Of every passenger for himself. In
the darkness, with the stiffness Of the sea all

AS soon as the liner struck she sent out
wireless messages for help. But when the res
cuers arrived they found the ship already had
gone down. The lifeboats which had been gotten
on were drifting about Men, women and chill
dren were clinging to the wreckage. The fog
cleared away and from the lighthouses along the
coast lifeboats were sent out to pick up the
drowning passengers.

When the first wireless call for help was
flashed out in the fog and darkness officers in
charge OF the company which owns the vessel
began to wire back for further directions For
many minutes the calls were sent out The min.
utes heightened into hours The hours brought
back no response. The officers had to admit
with reluctance, that the great vessel had gone
out OF sight and would not be seen again Ma
rfne agencies sending out queries all along the
coast received the same reply Of silence which
told as eloquently the roar Of cannon that the
ship had gone down and could speak no more
Then came court OF inquiry. Investigation
committees tried to learn whether the crew of
