Since 1840 Ihe Supply Has Increased From 50.000 to 5,950.000 Tons. The rapidly Increasing worhl's sugar consumption which Is supplied from beets la pointed out by a publication In the monthly summary of commerce nnd finance. Just Issued by the treas ury bureau of statistics. Under the head of "The World's Sugar Crop of 10IKI." It allows that the total beet sugar production of that year was .". 050,000 tons and the cane sugar crop 2.850.000 tons, more than two thirds of the world's sugar supply being thus produced iiiim beets. This statement is followed oy a table showing the cane and occt sugar production in eacli decennial year beginning with 1840, nnd the percentage wnlch these rival sugar plants have In supplying the sugar consumption of the wcrld. This table shows that Iu 1810 beets sup plied less than five per cent, of t world's sugar consumption; by 185i they supplied over 14 per ecu.; by 1870. 34 per cent.; by j800, 03 per cent, and Iu 1000. 07.71 per cent. The growth of sugar consumption is also shown In n striking manner by this table. In 1840 the total sugar crop of the world was only l.l.'o.uoo tons; in 1870, 2.4UI,imn) tons; In 18'.hi. 5,702,iio tons, anil In Who, 8.8oo,ooo tons.

Mongolian Government Notifies tho Ciar Thai Other Power Prevent Completion ol th Manchurlat Convention. The Chinese Government has formal ly notified Russia that China, owing to the attitude of tho Powers, la not able to sign the Mnnchurlan conven tion. "It la China's desire," says tho formal notification, "to keep on friendly term with all nations. At present she Is go ing through a period which Is the most perilous in the Ktnplre's history and It Is necessary that she should have the friendship or all. "However much she might be willing to grant nny special privilege to one Power, when others object It Is Im possible that, for the sake of making lug one nation friendly, she should alienate the sympnthlea of all others." I I Hung Chang says this letter set tles the matter definitely and that Rus sia was Informally notified to the same effect recently. Prince Chlng nsserts that every Chlnninan except LI Hung Chang was against signing the conven tion. As soon ns the generals of tho Pow ers notify the ministers ns to what disposition is desired of articles 8 nnd 0 of the protocol, everything will Iks practically concluded except the Indem nities, the only claims not ready being the Rrltlsli, German and Japanese. The Germans say they can be ready In two days and the Japanese assert that they can bp ready at a moment's warning. Prhate claims, however, can lie filed until May 14. Russia Is displeased because tho Powers discouraged China from sign ing the agreement; yet Russia herself Jolneii with the other Powers In under taking to avoid any such private ar rangement Involving the acquisition of Chinese territory. Should Russia, failing to secure nn agreement, con tinue In Manchuria beyond a reason able lime, there Is no obligation upon any Power to respect her title, and It may be predicted that thla subject will lead lo controversy of the gravest char acter.
