From Iceland the exports of wool last
season were 1,310,000 pounds, of which
3G2,0J0 went to Great Britain, the
remainder to Copenhagen. Exports of
live sheep were 23,000, and of ponies
2500. The hay crop was excellent, and
fisheries were good, especially the halibut
fishery which is carried on by Amerleans.

A recent visitor to London says that
y' in that city long tandem tricycles, capable
ot seating eight or inoro passengers,
have been introduced, aud one is now
being u?ed as a rival to the tram or street
cars. The owner of the vehicle occupies
the front seat, collects the fares and
steers, but the pnsseugora have to pro
vide the motive power, and if they don't
move thoir feet freely very poor time is
made on the journey. Such a moans of
locomotion would not prove a success
here, but it is said that in Loudon the '
seats are booked and paid for a week in
advance.
It may not be generally known, thinks
. - the Chicago Times, that Nebraska has
one-third of all the beet-sugar factories
in the Unitod States. Here is the list: ]

varado, Gal., was the first, built la 1879,
tad is still operated by E. H. Dyer; the ,
second is that of Claus Sprcckles, at
m^WatfOuville, Oal., built in 1887; the 1
third was built by Henry T. Oxuard, at '
I Grand Island, Neb., and worked its first J
crop in 1890; the fourth one wa# also
built by Mr. Oxn&rd in 1891, at Nqs- 1
folk, Neb.; the fifth U at Onino, QaL, '
and the sixth has juit been completed
this yoar by lqpal capitalists at L*U, ]
? ' Utah. Thus it will be seen that these 1
are at this time but six beet-sugar factories
in "the United States.

NO FLAG OVER"FORT SUMTER.
Why the G. A. R.'a Request Is Not
Likely to be Granted.
Washington, D. C.?At the recent
Grand Army enenmpment ia this city an
enthusiastic veteran introduced a resolution
calling upon tho Secretary of War
to hoist au Araericun flag over Fort Sumter
iu Charleston harbor. In the excitement
of the moment the resolution went
through without opposition or investigation.
At the War Department to-clay
the chief of engineers who has charge of
the government fortifications was questioned
on the subject. Ho says the
secretary of War has not yet complied
with the resolution, nor is it likely that
he will. The army regulations provide
that the Union flag shall be displayed at
military posts and fortifications that arc
garrisoned or occunifd. Fort Sumter is
neither garrisoueu nor occupied, and
therefore the Secretary _ol War bas no
authority tp fISal a.flair .over it ? ?? is
prepared to garrison it with troops.
lu further explanation of the nonappearance
of a flag nt Fort Sumter and
other practically abandoned forts, the
cuginccr officers say that serious foreign
complications might arise if the rcsolutijn
adopted by the G. A. R. encampment
were carried out. For instance,
if the flag was hoisted over Fort Sumter
n foreign warship might visit the harbor
of Charleston. In accordance with the
naval regulations of the world, the for
cign warship wou'd salute the American
?1.,? .....1 -? !_! _ ...
unu mix v-Aji.ci u simuur saiuic iu return
The foreigner coukl not be expected to
know ihut Fort Sumter was unoccupied
and was simply floating its country's
il:ig as u matter of sentiment. Not having
his salute acknowledged, the foreigner
would be justified in charging this
country with discourtesy, and would
have a right to demand an- explanation.
The ordnance sergeant stationed there
could hardly return n foreign warship's
salute with an old musket or revolver
which he might have with him in his
quaiters for his personal protection.
When the Secretary of War refers the
resolution to the Chief of Engineers he
will probably recciye an answer containing
the substance of the foregoing statement.

The Fatal Gallows.
Columbia, S. C.?Friday was a harvest
day with the hangman in South
Carolina. No less than four?two murderers
and two murderesses?were swung
into kingdom come.
Governor Tillman only interfered to
save ono out of the batch of five uudei
sentence of death. That one is Gus
Deering, the Edgefield murderer, who
killed a fellow workman at the mouth of
a well. I lis petition was signed by
leveu of the jurors nnd strongly endorsed.
Accordingly Governor Tillman
has commuted his sentence to life imprisonment
in the penitentiary.
At Spartanburg, Mildrey Brown, the
14-year-old colored girl who poisoned
the child she was nursing, was hung.
On the same gallons Williams, the negro
murderer of Mayor Hcnneman, gave up I
life.
At Nowberry, the negro woman, who
murdered her oflspring, met her death
by law.
The fourth victim of the hangman's

who murdered his wife, and who was
executed at Anderson.
