Washington, Sept. 11. (Special.) Secre-tary "Wilson Is receiving from all parts otthe country the most enthusiastic letters,in regard to the beet sugar industry- - Theseletters Jdo not 'come from any "particularlocality, 'but represent all parts of theUnited States, The secretary Unimpressedwith the idea that a great many peoplewill be influenced by their enthusiasmrather than by their judgment and 'be in-

duced to engage In the beet sugar industrywithout a proper study of th.e conditions"which Insure success. It is perfectly .cer-tain that if capital be invested in this In-

dustry without a proper study of these con-ditions and "without a proper technicalcontrol, only disaster can follow. It is.therefore. Important that enthusiasts bocautioned against investing without a prop

ter study of the data necessary to success.An illustration of this enthusiastic expecta-tion of largo profits Is shown In an extractfrom a circular of a beet sugar companywhich has lately been organized, at leastto the extent of Its issuing a prospectus.One, paragraph of this prospectus reads aafollows: '

"This company can never be squeezed outby the sugar trust, for the trust pays Ji3o'for raw sugar; duty, J1.G7; premium, SScents; total, $4.13 per 10U pounds Importedraw bugar, and cost of refining the sugar,43 cents per 100 pounds, making total tostof sugar refined ready for market $1.56 per100 poundsand receives no state or UnitedStates bounty, while on the other hand womanufacture and refine 100 pounds of sugarafa'cost of $2.75 per and re-

ceive from the state a bounty of fl.S0 per100 pounds for sugar manufactured and ed

in the state, which. after being de-

ducted 'from actual cost, $2.75, reduces Ourcost per 100 pounds refined sugar to $1.25.and the expected United, States bounty willfurther reduce the cost of our product."

A gentleman from New York, into whosebands this prospectus cams, sent It to thechief ot. the chemical division of the de--

artmeht of agriculture, with a request forIs opinion on the statements which., are

contained therein. Dr. Wiley, in reply, said:"It will be a long while before the' farm-

ers of this country can grow sugar beetsat a profit for less than $1 a ton. Theremay come a time when, by the skill whichthey acquire to-- long experience, they willbe able to do so.

"It 1st not possible that beet sugar canbe manufactured anywhere In the UnitedSlates at a cost'of $2.75 perlOO pounds. "Thestatement which is made in the prospectusof tho beet sugar companycomparlng thecost of sugar as furnlshedi by the sugartrust and that bv the nronosed factory is.as you know, absurd, it is not worthy ofserious consideration.

"Jt is--, unwise to misrepresent facts to In-

tending investors. I would suggest that.you overestimate rather than underesti-mate the cost of production, and you can-not safely say to Intending investors thatfair refining beet sugar, polarizing 96. canbamade at less than 1 cents a, pound In thiscountry under the most favorable circum-stances."- J.,, 1

In regard to the above matter. Dr. T ileystated, in conversation- - with your

thpr is creat danger in theenthualaam of 'our people running' awaywitn tneir juagmeni, as ji uui u. iew jcaio,,ago In the case of sorghum.- -

,

The success of the beet sugar Industry inthoi United States is assured, provided tho'Industry, be conducted along the properninM an mnflnafl-tft-th- flmnM" .localities.In the end.-i- t is. evident .that cruel expert-Ience will force the beet sugar industry intbthose localities .wnero me naiurai uuvuu-tng- es

are .th.e greatest. How much can besaved to the capitalists and 'farmers if thiscruel experience-b- avoided by a wise andscientific study of tho conditions necessaryto success? When It is remembered that1,000,000 acres of fertile land, well tilled. Insugar beets, will produce a sufficient quan-tlt- v

to supply the whole demand of theTntt. Qtar,D iVio lmnortance of ascertaining the exact localities where theH--iiu..,!.. .MMi.inMo .pa tlia mnt rnvnrn.nlA I

Is at once evident.During the past season, the secretary of

agriculture distributed, samples of sugar-bee- t

seeds to nearly 10.000 farmers In dif-

ferent parts of the country. Iri a largonumber of cases, no wise use was mnde

f these seeds. Even If they were planted,the youns plants were neglected and orcourse no crop was made. .In many cases,however, the seeds were planted and theplants carefully cultivated and In these in-

stances the results will be of. value. Thesamples of beets are already reaching thechemical laboratory for analysis, and, It Isexpected that the number received wllsoon reach a hundred or more a day. Theinformation which will be obtained in thisway, together with that which has beencollected by Mr. Baylor, the special agentof the department, and by the secretaryhimself In, a long trip through-th- e West,will bepubllshed In a bulletin tvhlch canbe relied on ty farmers and Intending in-

vestors "a3 giving tho data necessary tor'their use.-- '

It Is true that a single season's resultsare by no-- means decisive. Similar experi-ments, however, were conducted "by the de-

partment several years ago and they canbe used in comparison with tho resultsobtained this year. Similar experimentstiill be continued for another year,, andperhaps for several successive years. Shiswork, combined with tnat which has beendone, by the agricultural,, experiment, sta.tions. will gradually but surely pplnt.outtho localities where the best BUgar. beetscan bo grown. Jt is in these localities thatcapitalists will find the most profitable In-

vestment of their money In the building ofsugar factories. FRED F. SCHRADER.

AN EVENTFUL WEEK.

London, Sept. The pastweek in Great Britain has been markedby effervescence in the labor world, thequieting in tho Indian trqt-ble- with moreor less confession of the government's Im-potence In dealing with the ameer of Af-

ghanistan, and the defeat of tlie Ma.-qul- s

of Salisbury, in the case of the Germanbondholders. In the dreary struggle overthe Graeco-Turkls- h peace negotiations,which defeat has been caustically criticizedand has been followed by the sultnn send-ing winter clothing to the Turkish troopsin Thessafy. '

The Trades' Union congress at Birming-ham, which has been styled by Tom Mann,tho labor leader, as tho "congress of fatheads," adjourned to-d- after a sessionchleiiy notable for the proposal to form agigantic trades union cut of every con-ceivable trade. In order to confront capitalwith the threat of a general paralysis ptall Industry, and by the proposal to standby the engineers in their present struggle.The balance of the time of the congresswas mainly occupied with reaffirming time-honor- ed

resolutions expressing, as theMorning Post says, "pious opinions of lit-tle value in practical life.""

Even the Dally Chronlclo says:"We suppose there is nothing for it to

do, pending a political revival, but to goon passing the same good old resolutions."

The ninth week of the engineers' strug-gle leaves 22.00Q engineers, 12,000 trades'unionists, 5,500 and 5,000 la-borers out' of work, with strike payamounting to $163,000 pen week. New firmsdepending on engineering are stoppingwork daily, and some of tho. locomotivemanufacturers have posted notice as fol-lows:

"Eight hours a day with the present rateot wages would be disastrous to the loco-motive trade of England, in the face ofAmerican and Continental competition.We, therefore,' feel It our duty to counselthe men to refrain from any encourage-ment or support of the eight hour move-ment." . '

The "jingoism" In the UnitedStates Is finding an echo here. An anony-mous correspondent has written a long let-ter to the Spectator. In which he attemptsto prove that the United States is reallyfriendly to Great Britain. In spite of theAmerican newspaper statements to thocontrary. The Spectator replies to thisletter, saying:

"While official America treats Englandas at present, can anyone believe In Amer-ican friendliness?"

Tho rise in wheat to 40 shillings hasdragged up the price ot bread to C-- j to 7pence, and in the poorest quarters of Lon-don, where bread is sold in slices, the loafis fetching 1 shilling. On top of this, theMillers' National Union has started a de-mand for fewer hours ot labor, with athreatened strike if their demand is notaccorded.

Since the announcement of the extensivediscoveries of gold In the Klondike region,the compnny promoters of London havebeen busy taking advantage of the news-paper boom given to that part of the world.Fifteen .Klondike (limited) companies,which have recently started, have broughtout' capital to the amount of 2.016.583, ofwhich 1,137,691 Is offered to the publicIn tho meantime, there is an Immense de-mand for anything Klondlklan, in order tofloat 'further companies In the spring of1S9S. .

Bonettl. the "apos-tolic legateat Constantinople, has .been re-called' to Rome in order to devise means tooppose the Jewish plans to purchase andcolonize Palestine, which plans are notaa formidable as generally believed. Itthe statement of Dr. Grunhut, a HungarianHebrew and head master ot the Germanschool at Jerusalem, are to he credited,there is plenty of good land there; butthe poverty of the Hebrews of Jerusalemis terrible. Out of a population of 50,000,there are 30,000 Hebrews, of which number29,000, he asserts, live on the alms of theirEuropean It is declared thatthe possibility of Palestine being partition-ed among newcomers Is too remote to boconsidered.

It is announced from Odessa that the lataBaron Hlrsch's plan to colonize the Argen-tine Republic with Russian Hebrews hasbeen abandoned in favor of the establish-ment of Hebrew schools in Russia.

United States Consul General Burke hasreceived a very satisfactory reply to hisdemand made to the sultan of Morocco forsatisfaction and compensation for the as-sault made by three Moors on the protegeof an American citizen residing at Tangiers.The assault was committed in June last.The assailants are now in Jail at Tangiers,the sultan has promised to pay an lndem-- intty, and he has ordered the prisoners tobe sent to Fez. Prisoners are sent to Fezonly for grave crimes. They suffer themost terrible agony on the way there; theyare loaded with chains and are starved andbeaten all along the road. In the interestsof humanity, Mr. Burke objected to thotransfer, and demanded that the punish-ment should be meted out to them in thelocal prisons. The sultan acceded to this.The result is all the more gratifying whenIt is remembered that the Moorish authori-ties shrugged their shoulders and refusedto take any action in the matter when Con-sul Burke first demanded the punishmentof the three men. and also demanded thepayment of an indemnity as a result of theoutrage.

MADE A HIT 01 THEIR TOUR.

Visit of tbe Duke and Duchess of Yorkto Ireland "Was a Great

Success.London, Sept. 11. (Copyrighted.) The

tour of the Duko and Duchess of York,which was continued y at Glasgow,Scotland, where they met with an enthusi-astic reception, forms the subjectof the heartiest congratulations In manyquarters, particularly In Ireland, where thepeople, politicians ana otners admit It hasdone a good deal for Irish trade. Theduchess, for instance, accepted a Galwayfisher cloak from Father Dooley. which wasmade at a factory which Father Dooleystarted in Galway, and already 100 of thesecloaks have been ordered, either in whiteor crimson. The latter color Is correct.

Another result of the visit of the Dukeand Duchess of York to Ireland is that aroyal residence will in all probability be es-tablished in that country, and. In addition,the early abolition of the vlceroyaltv iseverywhere accepted as a fact. The duch-ess won all hearts, and the duke was al-most as popular, though he did not escape

Across the rejoicings, however, fall theshadows of the coming famine. The DailyNation, after, getting a letter from everypastor In rural Ireland, says:

'"Since Black "47 the Irish laboier hasnever faced a winter more full of priva-tion."

The harvest is bad as can be in the westof Ireland, and It is pretty sure that therewill be not only a food, but a fuel, famine.Not only are potatoes rotting In the ground,and the grain crops beaten down by rainandmot worth reaping, but the turf cut '"'illnot dry. Unless there is exceptional weath-er within the next tew days, a famine li. acertainty.

GERMAN RAILWAY DISASTERS.

A Grent Number in July, Resulting; Inthe Death of Sixty

Persons.Berlin. Sept. 11. (Copyrighted). The epi-

demic of accidents on the German rail-roads Is prompting sharp criticisms of thegovernment control of the roads. TheReichsanzclger publishes statistics of theaccidents on tho German and Bavarianlines. In July, it appears from these fig-ures, thirty-fiv- e trains were derailed, therewere eighteen collisions, seventeen otheraccidents occurred, 60 persons were killedand 154 people were Injured. In order toallay public anxiety,, a semi-offici- al explanation is puuu&neu in un uu interim reportof the special commission on the subjectappointed by the minister of public works,Herr Thleler. The commission admits thattbe accidents were due to the carelessnessof the railroad employes and officials. Anaccident was caused by a broken rail atVobwinkel, which ought to have been re-placed. They recommend the appointmentof more employes and the replacing of oldand defective material.

On one of them lay aswarthy fellow ot some twenty odd years,whose shoulders, where the bandages per-mitted them to be seen, were masses otcoagulated blood and powder black. Hewas Jacob Tomashontas. It was a marvelto the physicians that ho lived throughoutthe day. Three bullets had found theirlodgment in his body. One entered overthe heart, another penetrated the rightlung and a third lodged in his arm.

Almost opposite him lay a flaxen-haire- d

boy of IS, John Bonko. who had been snotthrough the head. All clay ha lay thereconscious, gazing wistfully nt the bowedform of his elder brother, who, shaken bysops, sat at the foot of the bed. The doc-tors were looking for his death at anymoment.

The time when the coroner's Inquest willbe held is still undetermined. Last nighttho jury Impaneled by that official vionedthe bodies of the eleven men who wero in-stantly killed and to-d- they Iewed theten additional victims, but the formal In-quest will not occur until matters haie.shaped themselves into a finality by thedeath or recovery of the wounded men.

GOVERNOR LEEDY'i VIEW OF IT.

Sara Killing-- of Miners "Was a PublicOutrage Lays the Blame

on Courts.Topeka, Kas!, Sept. 11. (Special.) The

topic ot conversation at the state house to-day is the killing of the striking miners InPennsylvania. The state officers and em-ployes are very bitter in their denunciationof Sheriff Martin, his deputies and thejudge granting the restraining orders. Gov-ernor Leedy, in discussing the matter, said:

','lt is a public outrage. These working-me- nwere shot down in cold blood while

marching along the public highway. Whatmanner of government Is this? Is It possi-ble that In this boasted free country of oursa man is to be deprived ot the right to thepublic highway? It is the most remarkableoccurrence I ever heard of. The order to'keep oft the grass' at "Washington nowpoles into Insignificance. It seems to havecome upon the marching miners withoutany cause whatever. Why should Judgeswho know little, it any, law, exercise theright of jurisdiction against men who sim-ply dqsire to walk or march. Individuallyor in companies if they choose, along thepublic highway?.

"The writ of Injunction, was originallyprovided for Injunction in extraordinarycases. It' was an 'extraordinary measure initself: But what wa bava.saen durlnsf thepast few years indicates tnat It Is becoming''commonplace. It is brought into play onevery hand. It Is applied, by Ignorantjudges, to almost any kind of a legal con-troversy. The injunctions are issued bymen who know no law and can assign noJust reason for such action. ' This, then, iscertainly an unwarranted and unjust In-fringement upon the rights of the people."

OKLAHOMA MATTERS

PRESIDENT'S RETURN TO "WASHING-TON ANXIOUSLY AWAITED.

THE CHARGES AGAINST BARNES.

MYSTERIOUS VISIT OFFLYNN TO THE CAPITAL.

As "Exhibit A" Brought to nearAicalnst Jake Admire' Cundl--

dnc Judge Haines' ChancesPoor The DeFord-Or- -

put TanKle.

Washington, Sept. 11. (special.) ThoOklahoma contingent Is growing somen hatrestless aa the time, approaUies for thepresident to return. They expect him totake up Oklahoma matters very soon afterhe arrives, and they are anxious to find outwhat is to bo dona with tho charges againstGovernor Barnes, and whether or not ttmDeford incident Is to make the governorstronger or break his Influence with thaadministration.

The mysterious Isit made byFlynn during the past week has added

Interest. But two men of the contingentsaw him. and they seem to have seen himfirst. He has been traced to the depart-ments of Justice, interior and poatsfflcf.but the officials are not making publicwhat ho did or was trying to do. It is thegeneral supposition that he was not herofor his health.

The contingent la not. stopping at the ho--tels. It Is very warm and uncomfortableat the hotels, especially as appointmentsaro delayed. .Always at the.begjunimr of anadministration the hotels are very comfort-able, but later there Is a tendency to bearoff towards the financial and topographicalsuburbs.

At present the roundup is at 610 E street.N. W. Among the contingent- - is CaptainCharles Morris, ot Perry, who wants to boregister ot his local land office. In a sim-ilar trouble is J. P. Cummings. of King-fisher, late department commander ot Ok-lahoma. He would take the position otregister of the Kingfisher office. This fightIs between J V. Admire, of Kingfisher,and Cummings. The latter has resorted toa record fight. When Admire held a landoffice job some years, ago. Special AgentHarlan made a report on him which wasnot universally flattering. Harlan Is nowchlet of a division in tho interior depart-ment and furnished Cummings a copy ofthis report, which the latter marked "ex-hibit A," and submitted in the case ot Ad-mire. It may be added that this light hasreached the affidavit stage.

Ransom Payne, of El Reno, and W. H.Harn, of Oklahoma City, are watching themarshal fight. If either Is made marshal, itIs believed the other will ba made chiefdeputy. They are working; together Just asgood Republican folks should. At the samotime they are pained to think of the ter-rible tangle of Deford and Orput, Ratherthan to have had the appointment hangfire so long, and rather than to have beencompelled to hear so many nauseating sto-ries about it, they would have much pre-ferred that either Orput or Deford hadbeen appointed. But as it turns out thatneither man was selected, by way ot see-ing that the matter is hurried up as muchas possible they propose to remain close tothe proposition and see to It that the pres-ident acts on the "proper lines" very soonafter he returns.

Tho unfortunate and deeply lamentedDcford-Orp- ut incident it is feared hasplaced a fog over the chances of Judge B.F. Hainer, ot Guthrie, who was slated forJuiiga of the Oklahoma City district to succeed Justice Kes.ton.

Among the 'many uncertain things Is acertainty. "All agree that Seymour S.Price; of Oklahoma City, will be appoint-ed register ot the Oklahoma City landoffice. He has the united support of theregular Republican organization of Okla-homa and is the only man during; tbe ad-ministration up to date who has had theunited support ot any body or set ot folks.For this one grand distinction he Is award-ed this office by the contingent, but howthe president may handle the matter Is. otcourse, unearthed Greek. Judge Price isbooming B. F. Burwell, of Oklahoma City,for Judge Keaton's place.

The candidacy of J. C Stransr and Geors--13 Hn.n "nv-mavl- A? If.it.a. Kit. nnof Guthrie, for chief Justice Is always!live topic.

Should Green, however, be appointed coionei ueorge a. Dodson. olGuthrie, and who at one time was a. ttiosIefficient register ot deeds for Logan counlty. wia be cierg. I

Some additions have been made to thlliterature field with the attorney renera.in the Deford-Oro- ut case. The claim 11made that the statement of Captain Ham-mer, of Ardmore, covering a conversationhe had with Deford some time prior to thaflood, has been submitted in evidence. Thebelief is entertained by some that thiswould prove Interesting reading to the few,it not to the many.
