''Nothing will be left undouo to bring to jtibfico tho man whose awful crimes sent horror to wliolo communities. Tho English gov ernment has spared no expense in placing its agonts on their guard, and tho Cousul at this city will bo randy to render whatover aid ho may.

Thoro is the grentest dnnger that, if tho opportunity presents itself, Butler will jump overboard nftor tho vessel enters this harbor. Ho is probably n swimmer and would iiud no difficulty in reaching shoro nnd disappearing in tho city. It is to lcbsou this danger as much as possible that every procaution will bo taken.

His wife wns iu a delicate condi tion nnd his family dc.tituto. The prisoner's conduct had lieou good in confinement. Tho Attorney General confirm ed nil tho btutemeuta of tho com mittee. Tho report was uuauimously adopted. Niemann is tho volunteer who while in drink shot a comrade while roluiniug homo latent night nfter drill about a year ugo, and wns sentenced on conviction to nine months' imprisonment. The next ensosubmitted for con sideration wns that of W. H. Coulter. Ho wns sentenced to six months' imprisonment for larceny, nnd nfter sorving his time was m 1891 bontonced to six years' im prison men t for robbery. It was left to tho Council whether ho should bo piudoned, on account of hi3 wife nml family of whom a clorgynmu on tho Coast gives a high opinion, but upon condition ho leavo the country. The Attorney General mudo remarks, saying ho did not wish to intluenco tho decision, but ho drew a distinction between a con ditional pardon, such as that 10 conimended, and nn uuconditiounl one. It wus not nltognther on account of his wife aud family, but because tho prisoner hud dis played goud conduct in prison nud of other extenuating circuiu stnnces. Mr. Joues was dubious ns to tho responsibility being taken by tho Council without n recommend ation by tho inspectors. Ho did not want, as n privnto citizen, to bo too rondy to rolense criminals from motives of sympathy. Mr. Konuedy moved that tho matter bo laid on tho table until such time as a recommendation for pardon shall hnvo been re ceived from tho prison inspectors. If a mnu is fit to livo at liberty iu another couutry, ho is fit to live at liberty in this couutry. Mr. Winston moved in amoud mout that a committee of three be nppointed to confor with tho pri son inspectors aud report at next meeting. Seconded by tho Attor ney General but lost.

There was n henriug before tho Ways and Menus Cominitteo of the House of Hopr8pntnti.cs. nt Washington, lately, of the beet suj-nr interest. Bilow is n report of tho piocedingh: Henry T. Oxtinrd, of Grnnd Islnnd, Neb., president of tho American Boot Sugar society, in behnlf of the industry, charged that tho present tariff not only failed to give protection to tho sugar rnisors, but diRcournped thn investment of additional capital. It had beon predicted that under tho McKinley law tho beet sugar in dustry wouid grow rapidly and threo refineries had been built during tho administration of the tarill"; but the change had deterred now investments. Any schedule ou sugar which had been iu force since 1800, except that of the Wil eou tariir, would permit thesprend of tho beet sugnr growing. Beet sugnr could bo produced iu 20 states, and under a proper tnriff tho United Stutes could in lo years raise all tho sugar necessa ry for homo consumption. The beet industry protested ngninst rnfna Inuu limn fi-.m I 'A A lr l 1 0 c, uts a j)OUn,t r. Oxunrd d. livored un nrgumont in iavor ot a bounty, aud proceeded to ijuoto departmenlal reports and other authorities to bIiow that this country had tho climate aud cap ital required for tho production of its own sugnr. Evor other nation, oven Sweden, which could supply it-olf with sugar, hnd taken every measure to do so. Cost of labor, uncertainty as to .. legisintion, export liouuties in QitCl' countries and decline in ,n)itni prices wero nil operating to keep out of investment i" '"nt Germnny now pnyb 7.32 jew York nt 13 1-2 sugar : conts per hundred poumls loss than Ameri can producers, aud occasionally to soil surplus products bolow tho cost. Give Americans a reasona ble bounty, guaranteed to con tinuo for a roasounblo time, nud thoy would work wonders. Tho Amoricnu wns now obliged, to compato with African cheap luoor, as Egypt in tho lost fiscal year had sont 83,257,000 worth of sugar to the United States iu British bottoms which enrried no return enrgo.

For rousonB sup pose lly commercial, congresr id in 1870 legislated for free ontry ot sugar from Hawaii. This treaty never met Invor witn tho people, had cost $18,000,000, nud hnd not grcntly incrensed our exports to that couutry. Tho estimated duties romitted by the United States on Hnwniinn sugnr nro 01,000,000. Ho thought it was unjust to oucourage these importers at the exponso of rovonuo and our homo producers. Ho urged the abrogation of the agreement. Speaking of tho conflioling in terests involved in giving ude qunto protection to tho sugar growers, ho pointed to tho suijar refinors who bought and refined tho foroign product nnd to tho millers of Hour and othora who desired to ubo sugar in reciprocity ngreomnnts, to obtnin concessions for themselves.
