countries,; notably Cuba and the other

overthrow df this "Kartell" will be one
of the' chief subjects of consideration
at the Brussels conference. British
firms are already in correspondence
with leading American sugar interests,
and tables are being drawn up to show

almost all producers and refiners to

that tho German consumer pays three
times as much for sugar as the Briton

due to 'these methods are 'pooled in the

Tom L. Johnson, mayor of Cleve
land, has been granted by tho supremo
court of Ohio permission to file a peti
tion in mandamus against the state
board of equalization oh railroads.
Mayor Johnson seeks to compel the re
assessment of the railroad property at
a valuation based upon tho market
value of its securities. Mr. Johnson
contends that the railroads of Ohio
which are on the assessment list for
$117,000,000 are appraised at only 23
per cent of their actual value, while
real estate in Ohio is appraised at CO
per cent of its real value. He asks
that railroad valuation be increased so
as to brjng them up to a GO per cent
basis. This would make the railroad
assessment $356,000,000 instead of
$117,000,000.

Martin Hogan, the well-known Irish
man, recently died in the city of Chi

Hogan: "Martin Hogan was convicted
in Ireland in 1866, with John Boyle
O'Reilly and five others, on a charge
of ,treason. The seven men joined tha
English army in 1863, intending to
Fenianlze it. They were detected, tried
for treason, and sentenced to bo shot.
The sentences were commuted to life
imprisonntent and later reduced to
twenty years of penal servitude in Van
Dieman's Land, the English penal col

1869 the whaling ship Catalpa was
fitted out to rescue the convicts, but
