The train pulled out from this city at 8:20 o'clock and registered its time atHar- -' lem at 8:35 o'clock. Two men boarded the rear coch at the Harlem bridge and as soon nsHirlem was passed awoke passon-ger- s with the demand. "Throw up your hands."

That such a thingshould occur in the midst of this beautiful, fertile region, teeming with an abundant har- vest, is hard to believe.

Kan., Aug. 2 The interest manifested in the sorghum sugar making grows entirely out of the acknowledged fit- ness of climate and soil for sorghum cane growing. No Slate in the Union produces caue with so large a percentage of sugar in the juice, nor with so much of the latter to the ton of cane. The question has been, can this juice be utilized so as to make it i a commerc.al success? So far this ques tion has not been satisfactorily answered. The Fort Scott, Conway Springs and To- peka works have operated successfully so far as sugar making is concerned, but they hays not beon financially successful. At Topeka the works ran but about half the season Inst year, and part of that time with defective m ichinery. although thnre was an abundant supply of cane. ? he operating oxp-n- se wore more than uet by the receipts, although money was 'ost after the interest on borrowed money was paid. This statement was made by one of the principal stockholders. The Conway Springs works was sup- plied with poor water for u;ar making, coming out of a pypsum deposit. Late In the season pure water was obtained and. the results were better. According to Mr. Deming's report to the Govern- ment, while the last reason showed the practicability of sugar making from sor- ghum, it did not prove commercially profitable. T.ie stockholders, however, with added experience, are giving a more thorough test this year under more favor- able conditions. A" Fort Scott good sugar was made and in print quantities, hut from the fact that the Government has ordered its machinery removed from that place to Attica it is ev- ident that a 1 was not satisfactory there. In fact. Mr. Hie?, who has made the pro- duction of sorghum sugar a study, pro- nounces this industry an exper.ment, which would lead one to believe that the success attending the third year was not satisfactory. At Attica may now be found tho largest sugar works in the State, in which have been placed the Government machinery from Fort Scott, and machinoiy from Illinois, in addition to new and improved mach nery manufactured expressly for this company. From Mr. Clark, secretary of the company, it is learned that these works will be under the personal super- vision of Mr. Deming, who built and operated the Conway Springs works, ana who is considered an expert, having had eight years' experience in sorghum sugar making. The cost of this plant is $102,700, the assets of the company being $122,030. The cane growing and owned by the company, the farmers about that ptaco and by the General Govern- ment at its experimental station, will more than keep these works running tho full sugar making season. The result of all experiments have been seized, and it is believed there will bo a large profit arising from the heavy investment made. But in order that this might be placed among the solid business enterprises of the State, the company has investigated thoroughly the alt works of New York, and find that they can use this same ma- chinery the remaining portion of the year, producing 1,00) barreU of salt a day at an expense of only seven cents a barrel. Mr. Clark condemns the hasty voting of township bonds in aid of incomplete plants and wildcat schemes by sorghum sugar speculators. "While believing absolutely in the profitableness of complete works, he would not have township or municipal in- debtedness incurred in aid of the little plants that are necessarily incomplete, and which must stand idle the greater portion of the year. He does not consider sorghum sugar making any longer an says when his works start up. August 15. this will . bo c Being one of a com- pany of careful, prudent men, he feels satisfied that the profits of the Attica works will cause this industry to become the leading industry of Kansas. There have been cases of mismanagement in the past incomplete knowledge, and, sometimes, unseemly haste. These draw- backs hnvo been avoided at the Attica work, where chemically pure water is obtained, and the services of Mr. Deming secured, as well as the time and knowl- edge of two Government chemists. He places the profits of the Attica works at 56S.0C0 for the year 1SS9. m A CLEAN BILL. The Kansas Sanitary Live-Stoc- k Board SatUiled That Xo Disease Exists In the State. Topeka. Kan., Aug. 2. The Live-Stoc- k Sanitary Board consisting of Hon. J. T. White, of Ada, Hon. Charles Collins, of Hutchinson, and K. Hurst, of Howard, and S. H. Pierce, of Washington, D. C, and J. A. Walrath of Kansas City, representing the United States Bureau of Animal In- dustry, held a meeting Wednesday even- ing and at noon yesterday made a report in substance as follows: "A careful in- vestigation at the Kanas City stock yard? shows that the order of the board relating to separate yards at Argentine for Southern cattle which might b9 sub- ject to infectious diseases is being fully complied with. The special pens are used for no other purpose and are separated from the main yards by the Kansas river. The yards are in excellent sanitary con- dition. Le-- s danger of infection from Texas fever exists than in former years, and while a few cases have been reported this season, investigation show that thoy had contracted the disease before ship- ment in the yards. There was no evidence to show that these cattle would transm'tthe fever it being well under- stood that native or half-bree- d cattle do not convey the diseas. As an additional protection to the native cattle, however, the board recommended tothes'ock yards company that all of that part of the yard east of the State line known as the Alton side be set apart for their exclusive use, from which all the Texas cattle should be excluded." Resolutions were adopted acquainting the Governor of Nebraska wilh the above facts, declaring that no good reasons ex- isted for quarantine against th stock yards of Nebraska and respectfully ask ing the modification of the quarantine order and permitting the shipment of all cattle into Nebraska except Southern cattle held in quarantine at Argentina m A Milwaukee Move. Milwaukee, WI., Aug. 2.-- At a meet- ing of the executivo council of tho Na- tional Grand Army encampment a com- mittee of twenty citizens outside of .he council was appointed to wait on President Miller, .of the Chi- cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail way and maKe a nnai appeal 10 mm for a one cent a mile rate to the encamp- ment This move was prompt&d by the eight department commanders at Chicago Tuesday discouraging attendance at the encampment because of the refusal of the railroads to grant a one cent rate. Such action was entirely unlooked for, and created a sensation at encampment head- quarters. Domestic Tragedy. Utica. N. Y., Aug. 2.

Crook "Warns the Obdurate. Standing Rock Agency, Dak , Aug. 2-- At the council Wednesday the Indians were informed that no more meetings for the explanation of the treaty would be held. John Grass repeated his objections-t- o the treaty, chief among which is the-pric- offered for the lands. Major Warner replied to Grass. He mefr every objection ana explained the provi- sions of the treaty of 1S69: which the Gov- ernment is charged with violating. Eut the speech of the conference andone that will never be forgotten by the In- dians, was made by Goneral Crook, who said, among other things: "I have al- ready intimated that, unless you except the treaty, this land may be taken front you anyway. My reasons for thinking 30 are as follows: Dakota, Montana and Washington Territory have only one representative each in Congress, and do not have a vote. Thus, iu the past, the cries of Dakotans for the opening of this reservation have had little weight, Lut after October next they will be States with an appropriate repre- sentation, and then when they ask that these reservations be opened, the red man's voice will be small and he will be crowded to one side. I assure you that you are getting the best terms that will ever be offered you, and uuless you accept you will not get more than you were offered a year aco. The Great Father does not want to deal with the chiefs alone; he wants every Indian on the reservation to express bis desires that they may be gratified. You are the equals of the whites mentally and physically, and there is no reason why you should not be placed on an equal footing if you contin- ue to progress. You must do more in the future. You love your families and you want to know what will become of them when you are dead. If you accept this treaty and take your land like the whites it can never be taken from you and will be your children's when you die. You will see that the Government is your friend." The roll for signatures was opeuod yes- terday. JOHNSTOWN RELIEF. A Huge Balance of Money Left In the Hands of the Committee. Johnstown, Pa., Aug. 2.

DIRTY TEA. The Treasury Uojmrtinent Notified of the Exportation to This Country of Inferior Tea. Washington. Aug. 2. The Secretary of the Treasury has received a letter from tho Secretary of State inclosing a copy of a dispatch received from the United States Consul at Amoy calling attention to the inferior quality of much of the Amoy Oolong tea exported to tho United Stntes, and Assistant Secretary Tichenor has issued a circular letter to customs of- ficers on the subject in which he says: "The statement of the Consul and the doc- uments incl sed in his communication in- dicate that it is a well recognized fact among dealers in China that Amoy Oo- longs are generally dirty, adulterated, carelessly picked or poorly cured, and that their reputation is so vile that all markets save those of the United States are now closed to them. A circular letter issued by Messrs. Russell & Co., of Amoy, speaks of these teas as the decayed veg- etable matter of China, and states that it is difficult to understand how, under the-existin- inspection regulations, they can be dealt in." The Consul strongly recom- mends that no invoices of Amoy Oolong? should be admitted to entry in the United States without first being rigidly in- spected. ROOSEVELT'S WRATH. The Civil-Servi- ce Coininlloner Sharply Replies to Adverse Criticism. Washington. Aug. 2. Mr. Roosevelt In reply to an editorial in the Post said; "Any statement that I used any but legit- imate and honorable means in the mayor- alty contest in New York or that I was to any deal of the kind or that any such deal was made with my knowledge or connivance is a falsehood. Any state- ment that the Civil-Servi- ce law has been repeatedly violated with the knowledge and consent of the Commissioners is a falsehood. Any statement that I have received any money from the Government except from my salary and for my legiti- mate traveling expenses while engaged on Government business, is a falsehood. To be exact I should use a still stronger and shorter word than falsehood. I will engdge in no controversy with any writer who falsifies the truth. Hereafter I shall make no response whatever to any state- ment or accusation in the Post. Taking into account the relative quality of harm done by spoils hunters and by prize fight- ers and their associates, I am by no means certain that the editor of the Washington Post should have his feelings so lacerated oy my coupling his journal with the Po- lice Gazette." m Ilronek Attempts Suicide.

and tweniy-fiv- e years of age, andwere loud and profane in their demandsfor money.

W. H. Bonnell, special agent of the road,sat in tho smoking car of the train andwas notified by Conductor James Reachthat the rear coach had been gone throughby robbers. He at once cut tho engineloose and returned as far as Harlem wherehe notified Deputy Sheriff Tomlinson andthey began a search for the men but werenot successful in getting Mght of them.

The train pulled out from this city at8:20 o'clock and registered its time atHar--'

SORGHUM SUGAR:

How the Diffusion Process Is ProgreulagIn Kansas.

Topeka. Kan., Aug. 2 The interestmanifested in the sorghum sugar makinggrows entirely out of the acknowledged fit-

ness of climate and soil for sorghum canegrowing. No Slate in the Union producescaue with so large a percentage of sugarin the juice, nor with so much of the latterto the ton of cane. The question has been,can this juice be utilized so as to make it

i a commerc.al success? So far this question has not been satisfactorily answered.The Fort Scott, Conway Springs and To-

peka works have operated successfully sofar as sugar making is concerned, but theyhays not beon financially successful. AtTopeka the works ran but about half theseason Inst year, and part of that timewith defective m ichinery. although thnrewas an abundant supply of cane. ? heoperating oxp-n- se wore more than uetby the receipts, although money was 'ostafter the interest on borrowed money waspaid. This statement was made by one ofthe principal stockholders.

The Conway Springs works was sup-plied with poor water for u;ar making,coming out of a pypsum deposit. LateIn the season pure water was obtainedand. the results were better. Accordingto Mr. Deming's report to the Govern-ment, while the last reason showed thepracticability of sugar making from sor-ghum, it did not prove commerciallyprofitable. T.ie stockholders, however,with added experience, are giving a morethorough test this year under more favor-able conditions.

A" Fort Scott good sugar was made andin print quantities, hut from the fact thatthe Government has ordered its machineryremoved from that place to Attica it is ev-

ident that a 1 was not satisfactory there.In fact. Mr. Hie?, who has made the pro-duction of sorghum sugar a study, pro-nounces this industry an exper.ment,which would lead one to believe that thesuccess attending the third year was notsatisfactory.

At Attica may now be found tho largestsugar works in the State, in which havebeen placed the Government machineryfrom Fort Scott, and machinoiy fromIllinois, in addition to new and improvedmach nery manufactured expressly forthis company. From Mr. Clark, secretaryof the company, it is learned that theseworks will be under the personal super-vision of Mr. Deming, who built andoperated the Conway Springs works, anawho is considered an expert, having hadeight years' experience in sorghum sugarmaking. The cost of this plant is $102,700,the assets of the company being $122,030.The cane growing and owned bythe company, the farmers about thatptaco and by the General Govern-ment at its experimental station,will more than keep these works runningtho full sugar making season. The resultof all experiments have been seized, andit is believed there will bo a large profitarising from the heavy investment made.But in order that this might be placedamong the solid business enterprises ofthe State, the company has investigatedthoroughly the alt works of New York,and find that they can use this same ma-

chinery the remaining portion of the year,producing 1,00) barreU of salt a day at anexpense of only seven cents a barrel.

Mr. Clark condemns the hasty voting oftownship bonds in aid of incomplete plantsand wildcat schemes by sorghum sugarspeculators. "While believing absolutelyin the profitableness of complete works, hewould not have township or municipal in-

debtedness incurred in aid of the littleplants that are necessarily incomplete,and which must stand idle the greaterportion of the year. He does not considersorghum sugar making any longer an

says when his works startup. August 15. this will . bo c

Being one of a com-

pany of careful, prudent men, hefeels satisfied that the profits of theAttica works will cause this industry tobecome the leading industry of Kansas.There have been cases of mismanagementin the past incomplete knowledge, and,sometimes, unseemly haste. These draw-backs hnvo been avoided at the Atticawork, where chemically pure water isobtained, and the services of Mr. Demingsecured, as well as the time and knowl-edge of two Government chemists. Heplaces the profits of the Attica works at56S.0C0 for the year 1SS9.

dustry, held a meeting Wednesday even-

ing and at noon yesterday made a reportin substance as follows: "A careful in-

vestigation at the Kanas City stock yard?shows that the order of the boardrelating to separate yards at Argentinefor Southern cattle which might b9 sub-

ject to infectious diseases is being fullycomplied with. The special pens are usedfor no other purpose and are separatedfrom the main yards by the Kansas river.The yards are in excellent sanitary con-

dition. Le-- s danger of infection fromTexas fever exists than in former years,and while a few cases have been reportedthis season, investigation show that thoyhad contracted the disease before ship-ment in the yards. There was noevidence to show that these cattle wouldtransm'tthe fever it being well under-stood that native or half-bree- d cattle donot convey the diseas. As an additionalprotection to the native cattle, however,the board recommended tothes'ock yardscompany that all of that part of the yardeast of the State line known as the Altonside be set apart for their exclusive use,from which all the Texas cattle should beexcluded."

Crook "Warns the Obdurate.Standing Rock Agency, Dak , Aug. 2--

At the council Wednesday the Indianswere informed that no more meetings forthe explanation of the treaty would beheld. John Grass repeated his objections-t- o

the treaty, chief among which is the-pric-

offered for the lands.Major Warner replied to Grass. He mefr

every objection ana explained the provi-sions of the treaty of 1S69: which the Gov-ernment is charged with violating.

Eut the speech of the conference andonethat will never be forgotten by the In-

dians, was made by Goneral Crook, whosaid, among other things: "I have al-

ready intimated that, unless you exceptthe treaty, this land may be taken frontyou anyway. My reasons for thinking 30are as follows: Dakota, Montana andWashington Territory have only onerepresentative each in Congress, anddo not have a vote. Thus, iu thepast, the cries of Dakotans forthe opening of this reservation have hadlittle weight, Lut after October next theywill be States with an appropriate repre-sentation, and then when they ask thatthese reservations be opened, the redman's voice will be small and he will becrowded to one side. I assure you that youare getting the best terms that will everbe offered you, and uuless you accept youwill not get more than you were offered ayear aco. The Great Father doesnot want to deal with the chiefs alone; hewants every Indian on the reservation toexpress bis desires that they may begratified. You are the equals of thewhites mentally and physically, andthere is no reason why you should not beplaced on an equal footing if you contin-ue to progress. You must do more in thefuture. You love your families and youwant to know what will become ofthem when you are dead. If you acceptthis treaty and take your land like thewhites it can never be taken from youand will be your children's when you die.You will see that the Government is yourfriend."

The roll for signatures was opeuod yes-terday.

DIRTY TEA.The Treasury Uojmrtinent Notified of the

ficers on the subject in which he says:"The statement of the Consul and the doc-uments incl sed in his communication in-

dicate that it is a well recognized factamong dealers in China that Amoy Oo-

longs are generally dirty, adulterated,carelessly picked or poorly cured, andthat their reputation is so vile that allmarkets save those of the United Statesare now closed to them. A circular letterissued by Messrs. Russell & Co., of Amoy,speaks of these teas as the decayed veg-

etable matter of China, and states that itis difficult to understand how, under the-existin-

inspection regulations, they canbe dealt in." The Consul strongly recom-mends that no invoices of Amoy Oolong?should be admitted to entry in the UnitedStates without first being rigidly in-spected.

reply to an editorial in the Post said;"Any statement that I used any but legit-imate and honorable means in the mayor-alty contest in New York or that I was

to any deal of the kind or that anysuch deal was made with my knowledgeor connivance is a falsehood. Any state-ment that the Civil-Servi- ce law has beenrepeatedly violated with the knowledgeand consent of the Commissioners is afalsehood. Any statement that I havereceived any money from the Governmentexcept from my salary and for my legiti-mate traveling expenses while engagedon Government business, is a falsehood.To be exact I should use a still strongerand shorter word than falsehood. I willengdge in no controversy with any writerwho falsifies the truth. Hereafter I shallmake no response whatever to any state-ment or accusation in the Post.
