ENGLISH PEER MAY
 WE'D AN AMERICAN
Marquis of Hundey Said to Be Considering Widow for Bride

London, June 24.--The announce ment that the Marquis Of Huntly was going to marry an American widow has caused the limclight of publicity to shine far moro brightly upon him than if his castle had been burned down by Sim Feiners. Several Irish peers have had that distinction thrust upon them of late but they have not, in consequence, been written up any thing like as extensively as has the septugenarian marquis
 He is 75 years old. He Is describ- ed as the handsomeot member of the peerage and the most courtly man nered. He celebrated his golden we'd few months later. There were no children by that marriage.
 Has Other Titles.
 He is the premier marquis of Scot land. He has II other titles besides that of marquis. He has leen a lord in waiting in his time and has captained the gentlemen at arms. Both are purely ornamertai posts. The former pays something like 700 pounds a year and the latter a round thousand. He has never had to do any real hard work. but despite the popular American notion that hard work. and plenty of it. is essential to health and longevity he is remarkably robust and, according to one chron- icler who claims to know him person. ally, thinks nothing of walking IS miles a day. There are not many hard working American milionaires who could do that at 75. He comes Of ancient and first-rate fighting stock and has all sorts of blue blood in his veins. His ancestor, Sir Adam Cor don of Huntly. was killed at the bat tie of Eornidon in 1402. The third earl commanded with Lord Hons the left wing of the Scots army at Flod- den Field.
 The fourth earl was killed in action while the next Huntly knew what it was to be sentenced to the blcck and to find himself chancellor of Scotland on his reprieve.

DEMAND HOME RULE
 IN SCOTLAND NOW
Trouble Threatened if Scotch Do
 Not Get Desired Privilege

London, June e4.-Some Scotch Home Rule for Scotland and intimate that there may be trouble" in Scot land soon If Scotland doesn't get it They got an opportunity 10 say what they thought about it the other day when the Government Of Scotland bill" was unexpectedly introduced. So also did some of its opponents who were very strongly of the opinion that 1t was not wanted.
 protested that there was no desire for anything like separation in Scotland. Under tEe bill the Scottish represen- tation in the Imperial Parliament would remain unchanged. but one leg lslative body would be set up in Scot land to deal with it's local affairs.
 Want Scotch Legislature.
 Sir Donald Mclean. the staunch anti-coalition Scots Liberal, gave the bill his blessing. He alluded to the land hunger in Scotland and told how it had led to the seizure of land there since the war If they had had q Scotch legislature the land question. he declared, would have been settled long ago. At the next election every candidate for a Scottish constituency would have to support the principle of home rule for Scotland. It would give England better chance to attend to her own legislative business properly
 Colonel John Ward, who entered Parliament as a navvy and was promptly acclaimed the handsomest man in the House, humorously put the British case He said he would support the bill if it would keep Scotchmen out of the best post in England and induce them to stick to their own business at home.
 Bill Is Talked Out"
 Dr. Murray, a representative of the Western Isles, darkly suggested that the House should pass the bill while Scotland was yet calm. and not wait to be coerced into doing so by the burning of sundry ancient castles of Scotland. The bill was finally talked out while there were still a lot of members anxious to air their views about it. The hope was expressed that an opportunity might be soon afforded for really testing the feeling of the House concerning the matter.

SUGAR STANDARD RAISES
Efficiency in Philippines Almost Ex- ceeds Results Shown in Hawaiian Islands, According to Records.

Manila, P. l., June Efficiency of the sugar centrals in the Philip pine Islands is approaching the Hawaiian standard according to records in the offices of the Philippine Sugar Centrals agency on the six centrals controlled by the Philippine National bank in the Island of Negros.
 E. w. Rope, supervising chemist of the agency who has returned to Manila from a four months stay in Negros, where the banks centrals are located, said:
 "rhe average number of tons of cane per ton of sugar at the bank s six centrals is S.53, compared with the average of s.e1 for Hawaii in 1921. The average factory efficiency for five of these centras for the season is 91.s. This is a very favorable record when al the conditions are con- sidered. Our milling results are somewhat below those in Hawaii. but the boiling house recovery compares favorably with results in Hawaii. The degree of exhaustion of final molasses is 3S5 for Hawaii and our mills are on a par with this record
 There is less ash in Philippine cane juices and sugar than there IS in those of Hawaii, which gives our sugar better refining characteristics. Hawaiian cane averages eighteen per cent. more fibre per ton of cane than our cane, but practically all our cen- trals have been able to get along with out additional fuel.
 "The planters are cooperating with us heartily in every way which Is especially important in its bearing on future production and increased pro- duction per acre under cultivation. Twenty-five experimental fields are now under the supervision of the bureau of science where problems Of fertilizing, etc, are being solved
