WASHINGTON , D. C. . March
The passage of the ngilcultural dollciency
bill assures the continuance of the govern
ment beet experiment station at Scbnylor ,
which would have been closed if the fight or
Ilolman against the appropriation had suc
ceeded. Secretary ilusk writes today to Sen
ator Paddcok that the experiments at Schuy-
lor have been extremely satisfactory , result
ing in the production of over twenty tons of
beets per aero with an average sugar content
of 14 per cent. He says that three silos are
now tillea with carefully selected mother
beets which are lo bo hold for seed during
the present spring.
Secretary Husk writes that it Is the inten
tion of the department not only to proseculo
the work In the cultivation of ibo beets , but
also lo produce boot seed of a high order.
The secretary make } nu Interesting sugges
tion also regarding hop growing in Nebraska.
Ho say < that It would bo well worth while
for the fanners to make sorao experiments in
this direction. Ho adds that at tbo same
time ho apprehend- ; that in regard to this
crop ono of the dlflicultles suggested lit regard -
gard lo tobacco , namely Iho prevalence of
very high winds , would bo found.

Tno Now York Trlbuno this morning has
AH ei tended inlcrviewwlth Henry T. Oxnard
of Grand Island , Neu. , on tbo beet sugar in
dustry. Among ether things Mr. Oxnard
nays : "At oaob ono of our factories wo
make Ul,000 ) pounds of sv.car a day ,
and in doing this consume fifty tons of sugar
beets , fifty tons of coal , forty tons of lime-
\ and glvo employment to " 00 men in tbo
factory proper. The sugar ooet can be grown
uccosafully in moat any of our northern
central states. I consider that Wyoming ,
Colorado , the Dakotaa , Minnesota and Long
Island are peculiarly adapted to the success
ful cultura o ( the beet. Senator W. D. Wasn-
burn of Minnesota is deeply Interested in the
fiubject and has visited our factories in Ne-
braika twice \\itbln tbo last few months.
He is now eudoavorlng to place the matter
before tno ( armors of his stale In the favorable -
* \ able light with which ho himself re
gards it. Secretary Ituik and Sena
tors Maudcraon , Paddock , Folton , .lonos ,
Stanford , Casey and Pottlgrow uro all warm
supporters of and believers in the ( uturoof
boot sngar.Tho yield U fifteen tons of beets to
the acre , from average soil with Iho average
amount of Ullage in Nebraska , nt f l.r > 0 a ton ,
Tbls Is f G7.r > 0 an acre. Tbo cost of labor Is
( . 'to. So tbut the returns are higher than for
almost an v other crop that the farmer can
grow.

"Two million tons of sugar wore consumed
in the United States in Ib'Jl , and of this
amount ouly T per cent was made from the
raw material raised In this county , but
wlh | tbo urn of the stimulus given
by Iho last congress , wo can easily bopo to
lead the world in tbo production ol sugar
within the next fifteen or twenty years. We
expect to manufacture UOOUOU ) pounds of
line while granulated sugar at our three
factories tbli year. Several prominent
democrats , ono in particular , who is the
governor of ono of the western states , wrote
mo asking the workings of tbo sugar clauses
of the MuKlnley law. Consternation would
be created In tbo democratic partv It tbo
names of these inon wcro made public. Every
country hai bud to build up Its suirar indus
try by u yu torn of bounties , and I have It
from lUe Uighvst nmUorlty in the Tjoasur ;
department that the bounties this year will
aggreeato $0,700,000 , and not ? 1'J,000,000 , as
Mr. McMillian has stated. "

Postmaster Tbaddous S. Clarkson of
Omaha , who waa summoned by the post
master general to attend the conference of
forty postmasters from leading cities of the
United States , left this evening for Balti
more to visit bis sister and will return on
Monday. Mr. Clarkson said this afternoon
that Omaha bad been greatly complimented
by Mr. Wannuiaker in the promlnenco pivon
to himself In the conference as it bad bean
previously complimented by the selection of
Mr. Hosowator to invcstigato the postal
telegraphy and pneumatic tube syslom of
foreign counlries. The conference lasted
last evening until midnight , the postmaster
general presiding and tbo chief clerk of the
department acting as secretary. The topics
discussed wore : "Postal Telegraphy ana the
Pneumatic Tube System , " "Postal Notes for
Fractions of n Dollar , " "Froo Delivery in
Towns of 1,000 People and Upwards. " "Kural
Delivery" and "Postal Telephones. " The
conference had present every head of the
Postofllco department to answer questions
relating to tbi'lr division. Yesterday on In
vitation of the bouso committee on ponofllcos ,
a committee of which Mr. Clarkson was ono
selected by Mr. Wanamakor , called on the
committee and presented points upon which
legislation Is urgently requesled. The corn-
mlttoo was asked by tbo bouso committee to
put its ideas in writlnc in the shape of bills.
Mr. Wanamakor promptly appointed a com-
mlllen , of which Mr , Clamson is a member ,
to take the various matters of legislation up
and present them frcm tbo standpoint
of working officials of the Postofllco
department. During the conference
last night Mr. Wnnamakor called
on Major Clarkson for remarks
and to sooko for ten minutes on "Personal
Associations with Employes. " Ho said that
the commendation which Mr. Wunamnuer
had given to tbo administration of Iho
Omahu postoffico as ono of the bast under
his supervision must bo shared by tbo em
ployes wboso faithful work haa mudo It
what it was. Ho then went on to make a
plea for closer personal association between
the postmasters and the clerks and said that
nothing but the fullest conlldenca between
them could secure the Dost results for the
government. Major Clarkson will , bv re
quest of Mr. Wanamakor , remain m Wash
ington for a week or ton days.

1'orth In Committee.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , March 12. The diplo
matic and consular appropriation bill will
[ irobably DO reported to Iho house next week.
The sub-committee of the house committee
on foreign affairs has completed consideration
of the hill and will report it to the whole
committee- early in the week , A number of
changes are proposed in the diplomatic and
consular service , and in the former there
aavo been a number of consolidations by
which savings in the service have been ef
fected by reducing the salaries of some of
tbo consular agents where moro salaries nro
being paid than the business and importance
of the places warrant , this being particu
larly true of some places where practically
no business is dono. Tno business for the
current year amounts to a little moro than
11,000,000. ,
Tbo subcommittee's bill makes a saving of
some sixty odd thousand dollars in the con-
sular'sorvlco , while the appropriations a Ued
for the pan-American organisations wore not
called up , the committee referring them to
tno regular committee on appropriations of
the bouse.
The consulate to Denmark is consolidated
with that to Sweden and Norway , the com
pensation of the minister to bo (7,500 ,
which is the present grade of each mission.
Ono minister , it is proposed , shall represent
the United States to both Bolivia and
Colombia hereafter in place of a minister to
each country.
The missions to Peru and Ecuador is also
proposed to bo consolidated , Tbo place of a
u mimstor to Ecuador was only recently 10-
created , andtho United States for a long
tima has not boon represented by a minister
to that country , the gentleman appointed
about a month ago , under the terms of the
diplomatic act for the current fiscal year ,
not having sailed yot.
There has ulso been some rearrangement
ot tbo Central American mission and some
classifications made in the sorvico.
Ono of the interesting features of Iho now
arrangements was a proposition to reduce the
grade of the Chilian mission from $10,000 to
J.1,000 or 87,000. This is the place at present
hold by Mr. Patrlcic Esan , After duo con
sultation U was decided , in view of tbo re
cent troubles between the Uniled Slates and
Chill , and of the fact that the Chilian mis
sion is of moro limn ordinary importance ,
not to recommend any cbango in grade. Mem
bers of the minority sldo of the committee
boHovo that the Having effected by the bill
will not affect the service unfavorably ,
The diplomatic and consular bill has grown
In the last half dozen years almost 'M per
cent moro than tbo growth of tbo business
interests of Iho Untied States abroad In that
period , 10 it is thouirlit the appropriations can

Ludicrous Situation in Which Members of

In the House of Itenrcgcntatlvcti.
WASHINGTON- . C. , March 12.-Tho
ludicrous situation that may sometime ? de
velop from the rule that requires members lo
attend the sessions of the bouse under pain
of arrest and arraignment for contempt , was
fully illustrated In the attempt to amend tiio
journal this morning : U'he usual Friday
night session for the consideration of pnvato
pension bills found the house without a
quorum last evening , and someone having
raised the point of no quorum , a call of the
house was ordered and tbe sergoant-ut-arms
was sent out to get the delinquent members.
Under the rules , the sergeant at-arms in
those emergencies may bo directed by the
house to arrest every absent member whom
hp can find in ony part of tbo city ana con
duct him before the bar of the house. Hero
ho Is cited for contempt of the hou&o in ab
senting himself without leave and required
to Rive the reason or excuse for bis ill relic
tion. The house is usually quite indulgent
to the culprits on those occasions , and ex
cuses so lllmsy that oven u truant school
boy would not date invent them for his pro
tection are usually accepted with much
gravity as satisfactory to the bouso and tbo
mqntlo of cbarltv cast ovoi the erring mem
ber by a unanimous vote of bis colleagues
purging him of contempt.
Arraigned llcforo tlio liar of the House.
When the point of no quorum was made
last night by Messrs , ICilgoro and Bailey of
Texas and the serpoant-at-arms ordered to
bring in the absent members , ho succeeded
in arresting four or live of ttio absentees ana
bringing tbom before tbo bar of tbo bouso.
According to the journal this morning it appears -
pears that Mr , Coombs of Now York was
last night , during n call of tbo bouso brought
to tbo bar of the house in custody of the
serjeant-at-arms , This Mr. Coombs denied.
Ho said ho bad been uollllcd by a page that
bis presence ) was required in order to help
ninko a quorum and n"n " baa come to tbo house
voluntarily and not-imder arrest.
Mr. Bynum inquired whether the person
to whom the gentleman alluded as "a pago"
was not a deputy sertteaut-at-nrins.
Mr. Coombs did not know whether ho was
or not , fu tM
Mr. Bynum inquired further , whether tbo
"pago" bad not dome with him to the capital.
Mr. Coombs replied that thoyoung man
came on tbo canvlfi him and that bo ( Mr.
Coombs ) paid the car fare. [ Laughter. ] Ho
moved that there bo stricken from the jour
nal those words wbUb showed that bo was
brought to the house under arrest.
Mr. Bynum thbugh the journal should bean
an accurate accoiliit of the proceedings of the
houso. It was a fact that Mr , Coombs had
been brought to tbo bur under arrest and the
journal should report that fact.
On Mr. Coou.bs mtiUon the vote stood 73 to
51. ( u
Mr. Dynum ralsoif the point of no quorum.
Mr , O''Si'lll'H iicimc. :
Mr. O'Neill of Pennsylvania look exception
to the journal. Last night ho had bodti ex
cused Iroin attending on account of sickness.
Ho bad not been sick ortnilrm ; ho bad stayed
away because ho had no pension bills on the
calendar , During his twenty-seven years of
service in the hquso ho bad , by the blessing
of God , been detained fioin tbo bouso but one
day and a half on account of sickness , and ho
wanted the Lord lo continue that blessing.
[ Laughter. ]
'Iho senate amendments to tbo urgent de
ficiency bill wore noncoucurred in and
Messrs. Sajrcs , tlolman , and Dmgle.v wore
appointed conferees.
Private business was then taken up , tbo
first bill boiiitf for the relief of tbe First
Methodist cturch of Jackson , 1'onu. On its
passage the vote stood 81 to ! .
Mr. Duncan of Ohio said that in the absence -
sonco of some of the pcntlomon from Texas ,
Messrs. Kilgore and Bailov , ho would make
the point of no quorum. [ Laughter. ]
On Mr. Bailey's putting in uu appearance ,
Mr. Dungan withdrew the point , but it was

Texas ,
Tbo till was finally passed , yoaa17 ;
