Me. (Special.) A fierce nimble to the death between two bull moon jn deep anow, near Mount Ka tahdln, was witnessed by George K. Htewart of Hoaton.who hua been spend inff several weeks in the woods, and who brought with him a souvenir of the conflict, of hich he tells a thrill ing story. Mr. Stewart left camp early In the morning on snowHhoes, and when about three miles away round evidences of m.iose. Although he had not taken a riile aloiiB, he followed the tracks over the snow, and alter an hour's tramp heard the noise of a conflict. Reaching an elevated place behind a big pine tree he was able to get a good view oljbe infuriated animais. "There was some four feet of snow on the ground," said My. Stewart, when telling of his adventure, "und the pon derous welKht of the, iuiimals brouffht them down through 'It" to 'solid ground as though it had been water. When 1 first saw them the moose were strug gling with locked horns, totally oblivi ous to all about them. "For the next two or three minutes they swaryed backward and forward without either of them apparently gaining the slightest advantage, skid denly the one nearest me disengaged himself and broke away. My first thought was that the anima.1 had had enough of the light and that he had derided discretion to be the better part of valor, but no sooner had the moose gained a suflicient distance than he lowered his mighty head and, with a bellow of rage, charged his bulky an tagoniKt. Instead of retreating or making a counter charge, the second moose remained perfectly still. He teemed to me to be calmly awaiting the attack. "Suddenly I suw him rear on his hind legs, and. coming down, plant his knife like hoofs directly on the head of the enemy. The force was territlt; and the moose nearest me went down under the blow like a lug of wood, lie was at ills antagonist's mercy. "Time and time again the bull brought those terrible front hoofs down on til-.- prostrate body before him. The other moose made desperate efforts to gain his feet, but his shoulder had be'-u oroken when he first fell, and the ef forts came to naught. For a time he UrugKled und then, at last, he lay per fectly still. His murderer gave the body a last contemptuous blow and then disappeared through the under growth." COAST CHINESE ARE ARMING. San Francisco,' Cul. (Spe:lal.) Pa- itii- r oast tlliinese, and especially, those if the powerful V'eong Wah assot.la ion, are collecting money and taking 1 census of their military strength pre paratory to resisting the aggressions of the Portuguese in the county of He- iig Shan, in the province of. Kwang Tung. China. A cubit gram was received from Hong Kong recently, from Aujernan, man tiger of the Wo Kee Chan in that city, in which it was said that immediate action was advisable on the part of all loyal Htong Shan men to resist the Portuguese. PLUM SHED IN PAPKHS. This cablegram was Immediately published In the dally Chinese papers, and copies of the cablegram printed as bulletins were posted about China town, with the result that a mass meeting was held In the rooms of the association at Til Sacramento street. Other meetings have since been held and the Hix Companies have also taken similar action. Telegrams were received a few days ago from Portland. San Jose and other coast cities full of the spirit of war and resistance, and saying that nut only must the county of Heong Shan le protected, but also the entire prov ince of Kwang Tung. Chan Kltn yu;ii, president, and Chan Po Kir. secretary of the Veong Wah association, one of the most wealthy and powerful on the coast, were found at the rooms of the association. Hoth are old, cool-headed, shrewd and diplo matic and therefore noncommittal as to the work of the association. KKADY TO KH1HT. Hut there are other and younger mrmbtrs of the association whose blond Is not so cool and who have not harried to 1 unreal their thoughts by words. One of these Is Ty Kee, a merchant, at 742 Washington street. He sail: "The Portuguese nov control the city and pott of Macao, and advices from horn- state that they aie now attempt ing to extend their concession to In clude the entice county of I Icing Shall.

There are Only a Few of the State In Which the Industry Can be Made Profitable Facts Brought Out by Examinations Made in Washington. ( Washington corresnondenca Newif6 of the highly developed beet York Evening Post.) In the discus-! 'et8n"re. to Kjve tle "'r I of tne department a good deal of sion of beet sugar prospectR, which trouble. Pages of this bulletin are is now at its height, it is apparent j devoted to it In whic h five disteni that the representatives of this new Pr discussed in detail. When it industry are taking an altogether toe ' '8 considered how much German optimistic view of its possibilities in scientists have done for the develop tbis country.. Oneueed only ppen a mell of "his Plant, it may well be treatise issued a few months ago by f1'0IIltpr(Jd what would be the -con de the department of agriculture, which ' Hon of the cune crop today had it is really the head ot the beet sugar ever received anywhere near so much propaganda, to learn that there are , decided limitations to tbe growth of the beet in many parts of this coun try. The farmers, it seems, were re- quested by the department to send samples of the beets they were rais - ing to Washington for analysis, anil upon them a report was made. From Illinois, for example, loo samples had been received, of which the average size of the beet was normal, "but both tbe content of sugar and coefficient of purity were below the standard." ! Two hundred and 35 samples from Indiana showed that slate as practi cally in the same rank as a stigar-pro- WILL GAYNOR In this picture is presented por traits of John F. Oaynor and his wife. Oaynor, who Is accused of bribing Captain Oberlin Carter and swindling; the United States government, failed to appear for trial and his bonds of $8O,000 were forfeited. Government officials are now seeking to bring him back from Canada. ducor as Illinois. The re-port adds that It Is not advisable to try to carry the commercial growing of sugar beets further south than the central part of these states. Krom Iowa sev eral hundred samples were received, but the department says that their content of sugar "falls Just, short of the average standard fixed for suc cessful manufacture. The purity of the Iowa beets is remarkably low, when their content of sugar Is consid ered. This fault can.dougtiess be rem edied by more careful culture." As to Kansas, this exhaustive study of conditions concludes that the cli mate Is not suitable to growing high grade sugar-beets. The summers are ton long and too dry. The uniformly low sugar content of the samples re ceived from Kentucky is "not encour aging."! The samples received from .Maine, the bulletin says, "were re markably poor in quality." Maryland appears to be "one of those states which are Just on the border separat ing the good from the Indifferent areas for beet-sugar production. The data obtained from Minnesota are not so favorable as theoretical indica tions would lead one to expect," .vlls- sotiri is like Maryland. Of New Hampshire the bulletin recites that the character of the soli anil the con tour of the stare will prevent beet culture from ever becoming an Indus try of great magnitude. Ohio cannot, "as a whole, be regarded as favorable to beet culture." Krom Oklahoma, the data are "distinctly unfavorable." The samples received from Virginia "are not encouraging to the belief that a successful beet-sugar Industry can be established therein." And so one might proceed. The places where the beet-sugar industry may be expected to thrive. If the department's views are correct, are certain parts of California. Colo rado, Idaho. Michigan, Nebraska, New York, Oregon, ami I.'lah. wllh. of course, smaller areas In other Mutes. The Irrigated lands of such stales as I'tah ami Colorado seem the most suitable, and. If the government will further subsidize the industry by pity ing for the Irrigation, tint crop will doubtless prove a great sip i fss. Michigan seems to he doing most Just now. ami alinoiigli Its availability for this Industry Is not doubted, the ex pert investigations are not wholly flut tering. The department's conclusion Is this, after examining l.liOli sam ples: "There is little doubt of Hie furl thai Michigan Is nne of the most favorable localities In the rnitcil States for the growing of high grade siitar heels. When the farmers of the stale thoroughly learn the a:f of successful beet culture, they will be able to compete with even the tnore favorert districts In Kurope, both It) (he (piallly of the heels produced und In the yield of per acre." Nebraska Is another niio In which the beet early Impressed Itself upon polities and pollliclniis. Kven Hcii .'tor Thurston, who wept so eloquent ly over Cuba before the war, b"i;an lo turn a cold shoulder Inwards her slioi'il? afterward In a way that sur prised Kiislern observers. It was I he beet that did It. Of this state the de partment says: "Many years of the comtnerclil cull tire of the sugar-beet have distinctly fixed the status of Ne braska In respect to this Industry. It has been demonstrated that leit 1 sugar can be made In Nebraska, but It is evident from the data of tbe last few years that Nebraska does not rank so high as some of the other states in its capability of raising bigh giade sugar-beets." It thus appears that In the race between the temperate and the tor rid zones over the production of sugar, we have no extraordinary advantages, even when seen by the eyes of those who have most at heart tbe success of the beet-sugar industry. The dla- sumy and attention How to compete In this country with the labor of the tropics is an other serious problem. The labor of jt fie West is too high priced for the 1 beet-culture, even with its present j heavy protection and the bounties ; which many ol the states are paying. : Some people believe that New York j will become a great sugar state, if this country decides to keep out the Icane, because of the large numbers of newly arrived immigrants from eotithern and eastern Europe who could be set to work by whole fami lies in the beet-Oelds. COME BACK ? WASTE ORE WORKED OVER. Every Method From Hand Sorting to j Washing by Machinery Is Used to Profit. I (Cripple Creek. Col., letter to Den : ver Republic.) A considerable ad dition to the output of the camp is : resulting from the sorting and wash ing of the big mine dumps and the ac tivity in this line of business was never greater than at present. A I number of companies are working ,over their big waste piles under their own management, while others are ! content to exact a good royalty from ' lessees. 1 The Portland company has three big washing machines installed and is putting about 350 tons a day through them. All the ore and waste that passed through the orehotise is washed and the result Is estimated by the management at a saving of nciirly 3 per cent. ' '. As soon as the big Portland rail! is completed. It Is understood that several of the dumps of this company. Known to contain low grade ores, will be shipped and treated at a profit. , The Vindicator and Golden Cycle companies ate also sorting and wash ing their dumps at a profit. Quite recently the cyanide mill of the Colo rado Ore & Reduction company In lArequa was leased for the express purpose of treating dump 'ores. The dump at the Iron Clad mine, whirl? Is said to average about $10 a ton throughout. Is being treated there and the lessee Is reported to be mak ing a success of his venture. Alexander Miller, basing the big J W ild Horse dump. Is also making good money. He Is washing the waste and handling a big tonnag'e daily. Other dumps being success fully treated on a smaller scale are those of the Cold Dollar Consolidated company 011 deacon hill, the Doctor Jack I'ot dump, the Gold Coin and Stratlon's Independence, the Hull City plater, the dumps of the Ana conda estate and a number of ot hers. Various methods and devices to save values art- in use, I rout screening anil hand sorting to the primitive washing trough, or the more modern rotary washing machines. Where baud sotting Is resorted to, the val ues are recovered from the fltnl screen lugs and the course ores that have escaped the eye of the most ex pert ore sorter. Where water is used, the slimes, when dried, carry high values, often running 11s high us $101) a Ion. The treatment chart?"! on ores up to three-quarters of an ounce or $15 In value.

Rome letter: Although everyone seems to regard the crisis here as past now, there will not be a feeling of con fidence restored again for many years. Although for a moment the hand of anarchy or socialism, as one may call it, has been stayed, the movement is so general throughout the country that no one tloiihts the overthrow of mon archicai'institutiohs is"botihd to conie. From the secret societies it has leak ed out that there was no personal vio lence whatever Intended against the royal family who were to have been secluded in one of the palaces away from the city and kept there uudur a strong guard. -' The revolutionists intended forming a government rather on the basis that of the Swiss than on the princi ple! of the United States government, or even more radical than that, no mention having been made of an upper house, while the president was to be elected for one year only. The condition of the masses here is certainly appalling, not. only from an American, but also from an English view point, the wages paid in most of the factories being little more than half those earned by operatives in the large manufacturing centers of Great liritain and the United States which are yearly becoming nearer to the samp prices. No one wins to regard the king or qnt-pn as blameworthy for the present condition of affairs hut it is ncverthe-I-ss '.r.:b' :".',! if lia ..''11 lo-;.? able lo escape the bullet of the assassin. Whenever he goes abroad now it Is In an automobile, which he himself steers, at a terrilic pace. Kven when hfi g xti out on horseback the mounted guard hems him in so closely that it would bo practically impossible for anyone to shoot him, unless, possibly, from a high window. Yet the king is very democratic, in his "manners, exceeding ly amiable in disposition, freehanded, free from prejudice and a liberal In politics. The ministers who run the govern ment for Victor Emmanuel 111 runs af fairs precisely as they please and at least one member of the cabinet is an extreme radical. The king does not prefpnd to be a politiciaii and never indicates what he personally feels in. regard to the ad ministration of affairs, allowing his ministers to settle their squabbles be tween themselves. Ho looks after the good and welfare of the army and navy personally and also after the building of public work, in which he takes a great interest. Personally he is a good man, a faithful husband and a fond father. He neither hoards or wastes and spends a larger amount of his pri vate income on charity than perhaps any monarch in Kurope. He is anything but brilliant, but his modesty and good nature endear him to all who cooie In contact with him. With all his indlfferepw to public af fairs many of the successful policies of the government are said to have orig inated with him. -Particularly is this the case with regard to the democratic appointment to the various political positions in the kingdom, the king be lieving that, the aristocrats have too long. wielded too much power for the country's welfare. In this respect he se-ms to have taken a leaf from the kaiser's book. In spite of the tlissatisf action of the masses it is a notable fact that the country has hpen making rapid prog ress latply in several important lines of industry. The dissatisfaction Is deeper seated than that, however. It is a part of a great wave of Industrial disturbance which is threatening the stability of several European regimes -notably those of Spain and Belgium, at the present writing. ARTHCR BERNARD.

There Are but hTree Sections of th World Where It Is Found. Washington Post: "Mining for mer eury. or, rather, for cinnabar ore, from which mercury ia extracted, is a most interesiing process." remarked Mr. Thomas J. Young of Louisville, Ky., last evening. "There are only thres sections in the world in which mercury has been found thus far Spain, Aus tria, and in our own stale of California. These yield the world's supply. The Almedan mines of Spain are the oldest mines known, having been successfully worked 400 years before'Christ. They are extremely valuable, and, despite the long years of operations, are still yield ing vast quantities of ore. In fact, iiiwc aanirz niinruau uiiura luim cijt basis of Spain's credit, being owned by the government, and it was by giv ing a mortgage on them to the Roth schilds that funds were realized to car ry on the late war. "The California mines are only begin ning to vield the vast product stored up within them. They have received the name New Almedanj and promise tc prove equally, if not more, valuable than the Spanish mines. An idea 6( thpir immense value may be gained from the fact that they are yielding a dividend of 1 per cent a month to their owners, and promise much higher I profits. They are located about 113 miles northeast of San FTaneisc.0 in the coast range mountains. "Mercury, or cinnabar ore which has ! also a vein of sulphur in it is mined virtually like coal. Shafts are sunk, from which levels are run off. The ore is found in what are termed fissure veins, which run down far into the bowels of the earth. The ore itself is light in color, moderately hard, and may be picked out in small chunks. It is found in 'kidneys.' or pockets, some times in large qtiantitea. "A curious and simple process, and one to my mind quite ingenious, is employed to extract the mercury from the crude ore. The chunks or ore are placed in large furnaces heated to fi80 degrees Fahrenheit. This causes the mercury to pass out of the ore in the form of gas. The gas rises to the top of the furnace, where it volatilizes and cooX and large drops of mercury run down the walls, much as steam does when condensed. The drops are caught at the bottom of the walls. No further processes are necessary. The work of getting thp ore out ot (lie mines and volatilizing it costs about $2, litis a ton. It sells at the present standard rate of $52.50 ppr flash of 76', pounds that is, a little over 70 cents a pound. "What, is mercury used for? Wei!., many things. It is used principally for the amalgamation of gold and silver, and is indispensable in the miniug of those metals. For that reason mercury mining is not affected by hard times, for when times get hard digging for gold is carried on more extensively than ever, and the demand for mercury Increases. Mercury is also used for maKtug v uiuese vet 111111011, which is toe ba-sit of all paints. H is also used in the preparat ion of many medicines and for all fixed ammunitions' and explo sives. Then, of course, you know it is ltsed for hacking mirrors and in ther mometers." ' 1 Mere Business Transaction.
