The Convicted Ones Must Also Par, All Costs of the Trial—Condemned Men Hurried at Once to Their Destinations. PARIS, Jan. 5.——The high court (sen- ate), in secret session, has sentenced M. -,.Guerin to ten years’ confinement in a for- tified place and condemned M. Buffet and M. Deroulede each to ten years’ banish- ment. This ended the famous conspiracy case before the senate sitting as a high court, and the tribunal adjourned. The cases were an outgrowithi 0f the anti-Dreyfus ag- itation in France and at the time attracted wide attention. Out of the 75 alleged con- spirators who were thrown into prison five months ago, and who-have been since released in batches owing to want of evi- dence, only MM. Deroulede, Guerin and Buffet have been found guilty, and these three are accorded “extenuating circum- stances,” which reduces their punishmenl to detention in a fortress or banishment. There were a few cries of “Vive De- roulede!” and “Avbas Loubet!” from the o ' JULES GUERIN. audience after the sentences were pro- nounced, but the demonstration was quite insignificant. Although the anti- Scmite press is making a fuss over the outcome, the tactics of the anti-Semites are shown by the sensational caption, “Murder of Deroulede,” in'their after- noon organ, La Cocarde, which secured a few purchhscrs, who Were disgusted to find it only meant what the Nationalists affect to consider the legal murder of Deroulede. - The decision condemns the convicted mento pay the costs of the prosecution. The sentences took efiect immediately. It is asserted that M. Deroulede was hurried to the train and immediately dis- patched toward the Spanish frontier, he having decided to reside at San Sebas- tian. " M. Guerin will be removed to a French fortress, probably on the island of Oleron, off the west coast. M. Buffet will go to Belgium. MM. Bulfet and Deroulede left Paris by the Northern railway at 5 o’clock this morning. Mammoth Beet Sugar Plant. CHICAGO, Jan. 5.—It is announced at Santa Fe railroad headquartersthat the American Beet Sugar company has con- tracted for the establishment of a sugar beet, plant at Rocky Ford, 0010., in the Arkansas valley. The plant will" be next to the largest in the world and will have a capacity greater than the combined capacities of the plants in Nebraska. It will cost about $1,500,000 and will have an annual capacity of 18,000 tons of re- fined sugar, using 100,000 tons of beets. “armors in the valley adjacent to Rocky Ford have arranged to plant 80,000 acres of beets the coming season, from which it is expected a profit of $40 an acre will be derived. The land is almost in thc heart of what a few years ago appeared on the maps as the “Great American Desert.” Irrigation has made it one of the most fertile places in the west.

W'ASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—Italy has re- turned a favorable response to the recent iote of the state department respecting .. the open door in China. It is learned that although Italy was- !he last of the powers addressed to return an answer to Secretary Hay’s overtures that government really was more-prompt than any othem in the negotiations. This is explained by the fact that the Italian- ;overnment was addressed on the subject some time after the other continental na- zions had it under consideration owing to thefact that our cmbassador, Mr. Dra- per, was aWay, from his post on leave of absence in the United States when the identicalnote of, instructions was sent out, and it was regarded as best to make no departure from the rule which had been adopted in the case of the other gov- ernments of addressing them through the United States representatives at the for- eign capitals. ' _ Immediately upon Mr. Draper’s return to Rome at a not distant date in the past he laid the matter before the Italian gov- ernment, which therefore has acted with more promptuess than most of the other powers: The agreements have not yet been reduced to their final form, but the state department will now enter upon the 'task “Of putting. them into proper shape, and as in each case the agree- ment to the principles involved in our in- vitation is, returned in unequivocal terms, according to the department ofiicials, it is not anticipated that any difficulty will be experienced in accomplishing this work satisfactorily. Pending that outcome the state depart-‘ ment does not intend to make any state- ment for the public as to the exact terms of the agreement, though it is admitted that the ground has been covered with unusual accuracy in the press reports up to this point. AN ELOPEM ENT RECALLED. Judge Refuses tois‘entence the Man Without the Woulan In the Case. VVILKESBARRE, Pa., Jan. 5.——John Stephenson, who eloped with Mrs. Alice Jones to England last August, was ar- raigned in court yesterday to receive sen~ "tence for forgery. Before leaving this country Stephenson and Mrs. Jones forg- ed a deed to the property of the woman’s husband and secured $6,000. then the couple were arrested on landing at Liv- erpool, $450 was found in the possession of Mrs. Jones. Upon his return to this country Stephenson could not procure bail and was remanded to jail. \Vhen his case was called in court, he pleaded guil- ty to forgery, and sentence was deferred until yesterday. Mrs. Jones was more fortunate. She was arrested on the same charge, but her husband went her bail and took her back home. They are now living happily together. When Stephen- son faced Judge Lynch yesterday, his honor said, “What has become of the woman in the case?” ' District Attorney Martin replied, “She will be tried later.” “Very well,” responded Judge Lynch, “I will not sentence the man until the woman’s case is disposed of. There is no use of making flesh out of one and fish out of the other. Mrs. Jones was no child. She knew what she was doing.” Stephenson was then taken back to jail. Counsel for the prisoner say that he paid his own expenses of the eloping tour and that Mrs.'Jones' kept all the money. Little Lite In Ocean Depths. CAMBRIDGE, .Massq ' Jan. 5.—Alex- ander Agassiz, director of the Agassiz museum at Harvard, has juSt sent a let- ter from the island of Tahiti, in the Pa- cific ocean, to the United States fish; com- mission. Professor Agassiz left ‘ San Francisco in the Albatross, a vessel loan- ed him by the government, to study the bottom of the Pacific ocean. He made 72 soundings in the hitherto unknown basin at the bottom of the ocean. A large amount of animal matter was studied by dredging from the bottom of the ocean, with the general conclusion that there is but little life in the deeper parts of the son far away from land. The last heard from President Agassiz was a cable to the museum on Dec. 21 from the Fiji islands. ‘ Good Year For Railroads. CHICAGO. Jan. 5.—-Thc Railway Age today says: “The best evidence‘ that the your 1899 was one of general prosperity is found in the fact that it was a year almost without railroad bankruptcy. In only two years since 1875 have the roads over which receivers were appointed been so few. and in only three of those years small. Only one road of importance is found in the list, the new Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf, which defaulted in its obligations before it had time to dem- onstrate its earning capacity and was placed in the charge of receivers early in. the year. Prosperous Fishing Season. GLOUCESTER, Mass, Jan. 5.—-The estimated catch of salt water fish by the Gloucester fishing fleet for 1899 is 126,- 967,570, pounds, to care for which it re— quired 30,000 tons of ice and 30,000 tons df salt.
