CO-OPIHATIVE : PACTOIUES.
"Of these four classes of sugar factory or
ganisations , by far the most Important Is
the first named that of the stock companies
which Includes not only most of the
largest establishments but comprises nearly
one-half of all the sugar factories In Ger
many. These1 , as well as the limited cor
porations , are organised and conducted un
der the very t-hboratu and far-reaching
statute of corporations , \vhlsh prescribes In
detail all the rights and obligations of
shareholders , dcfinc-a the duties and re-
Bponslljllltlcs of olllccrs , and fixes hcivy
penalties for cver > evasion ur breach of
trust. A shareholder In a stock comp-uty
of this class Is lliblc to the full c\tont of
( his fortune for thu debts of the concern ,
and In the organisation of such corpora
tions for sugar manufacture the stock shares
are usually Issued In two categories , adap
ted to the calling and circumstances ot the
stockholder. Under the first category the
holder of each share of stock Is bound to
cultivate annually a prescribed area , of hind
in sugar beets and dcllvet Uls product to
the factory. He can cnl > soil his shares by
permission of the compiny to a. purcha&er
who mill assume all the obligations that
It may Impose with regard to tbe growing
and delivery of bcpts Stock of the second
category may be held Jj an > Investor , and
Is Issued for tire purpose ot sc"urln biich
additional capital as may be requited for
building , impro\lng. or operating the fac
tory , and which cannot be obtained from
the fanners ot the nelghborluod who can
raise beets .and constitute the shareholders
under the first category.
HOW THEY WOUIC.
"Details of the Inner working nnd rnamge-
ment of these cornpinlis tire not easy to
ascertain with entire rcrtalnty , but from the
by-laws of the stock conrpanj which owns
and operates a factory at Gross-Gerau , near
Frankfort , certain specifications have been
obtained which arc tjplcal and represent
practically the organisation of that class of
factories In Germany The company at
Gross-Gerau was founded In 18S4 , with an
original cipltal of 5-0,000 ! mirks ( $128,110) ) ,
Viz. , 775 si ares of 400 marks ( $05 20) ) each
and 550 she res of equal face value under the
second category , as above explained , nach
iholder of stock of the first class Is bound to
cultivate In boots each jcar , for each share ot
his stock , three morgcns of land , and to de
liver the crop so raised to the factory. The
'morgen' Is a measure of land which varies
somewhat In different European countries and
Is not strictly uniform even throughout Gcr-
Tnany , but In this region It means one-fourth
of a hectare , or 0 G17 acre , BO that the holder
ot stock of the fi st cass , now under con
sideration , is bound to raise , for each share
r BO held by him , something more than ono
and four-fifths acres of beets and the whole
area thus held under control by , say , 100
'shares o'f" such stock , would be 1S53 acies
The company at Gross-Gerau manufactures
raw and cjstalllsed sugar and consumed In
iho campaign of 1895-00 , CC.014 tnet'lc tons of
beets , and In the memorable campaign ot
three jear's ago. when the German sugar
manufacture reached the zenith of Its prob-
perlty. Is said to have paid to Its share
holders dividends amounting to 52 per cent ,
It Iras under control during the present cam-
palgn the'product from 3,00(5 ( ac-es of beets ,
many of the shareholders raising much more
than their prescribed quota per share , which
fixes only tire minimum area of cultivation
for each shareholder ,
t " .TJic31mltcd companies ( Gcrellschattcn mlt
beachrankter Hattung ) , as organized for
sugar manufacture , differ from the unlim
ited corporations In two Important respects
Ylzithe stockholder Is held liable to only t f
double the face value ot his shires , and , j
second , ho may , by giving two j ears' notice , '
turn tn , sell , or othe-rvvlbo dispose of his
clock to any person , without transferring to
such purchaser the obligation to raise and
deliver beets. In prosperous tlmcn , this plan
/works very well , but , whcn prices are low and
the business critical , the option of with-
dravVaTcoffslUutes a serious point of weak-
ncjsa. In fiUth organizations , and , as has been
shown , they are not only much fewer In
number than the unlimited corporations , but
their number Is decreasing. "
OVEKPHODUCTION OK l-'ACTOHIKS
The reason for the decreahc , the consul
general explains. Is overproduction ot fac
tories Htlrnulatedi by liberal export bounties
and the largo profits made In years past.
"It Is now an essential point for every sugir
factory In Germany , " he says , "to control
and bo able to secure with certainty each
season anadequate supply of beets , and to
pay Tor this supply of raw material as little
nn possible ! at all events a price not dispro
portionate to Iho selling price of sugar Hut
"Btrch u price docs not , in many cases , satiety
the beet growers , whose expenses are In
creased by the necessity of Increased fertil
izing as their land becomes exhausted by repe
titions of the same crop , and who stuped the
.factory managers of wishing to absorb all
the profits and Icavo the landowners a biro
* subsistence. It Is evident , therefore , that
under existing conditions the strongest nnd
'safest form tst organisation Is the cne nh cr ! j
embodies meat fully the co-operative prlnel- '
pie , In v.hlcli the Block shares of sugar fac
tories are Jielil to lire largest degree by ag
riculturists , who are not only stimulated by
their own Intcrea-s to maintain their beet
culture at the highest point of efficiency ,
both ns to weight of boats produced per acre
nnd percentage ot sugar contained , but who
gather thu i-ntlro profit that may Inhere from
both processes the growing of beets and the
manufacture of tugar. In other words , the
co-cpor.it Ive p Inclple puts the agik-ultuilst
into the advantageous position of a man who ,
JIB farmer , is guaranteed a definite price for
the product'on of the raw material which
Ire consumes as a manufacture- , Ills Inter
ests as un owner and cultivator of the soil
are brought Into harmony with , and sup
port of lib in'crebU as n capitalist. To
quote the language of Dr. follenlun , a sugar
factory manager of largo experience :
" 'The future ot factories wherein the Inter
ests ot capitalist stockholders are opposed to
these of the beet growers la rendered by
present conditions very precarious. A ittgar
factory must belong to the farmers who ralia
the boot * and who secure to tholr factory ,
In unfavorable lines the necessary supply
of raw material Likewise , must all ttio ,
profits which arc gained by both boot
culture nnil snnnr manufacture belong io
the agriculturist. ' "

coxcMJSioNS or THU CONSUL
Consul Goueial Mason subinltb thu follow
ing conclusions :
1. The cu-optratlvo principle Is of largo
and Incienslng application and Influence In
German beet cultuto nnd sugir minufacturc.
2 The purpose and I ffcct of Us application
Is to bring the whole process of sugar pro
duction lundci control of the landowning and
fanning clni'scs , exclude nonlandholdlng
capltat'eta , and seem a to each factorj , In
depressed ns 'A ell as prosperous times , an
adequate supply of beets as raw material.
3 Ito-ih largo landholders and small farm-
el s arc engaged In co-opciatho sugar produc
tion the proportion of large landowners being
gicatcr In. northern than In Bouthern Ger-
nnnjhero some fattorl'u organized as
stock rnmpinlcB ha\o as many as 1,000 or
t fiOO beet-growing stockholders
4. Until largo and small fictorlca are
organlrod on the co-operative plan , but the
relative proportion of small factories Is dc-
ci easing by rcaton of their enlargement to
meet the more difficult requirements" of
sump and close competition
C Most ( acuities in Germany p-oduce onlj
raw biigar , and they are generally not trlbu
taiy to any special refinery There are now
In operation In Germany llftj-eight sugar re-
flneilos , of which fourteen a o organbcJ ii

IlmlteJ liabilities , and the remainder arc prl

6 The factories oiginlzed and operated
on the co-operative principle as above de
scribed , aie the most successful sugar fac
tories In Germany , for the reason stated
that one set of st1 okholders rtap all the
profits incident to both beet growing and
sugar manufacture.
7 The number of sunr factories In
Germany Is not Increasing , but the capacity
of many existing factories is being enlarged
ind the co-opet-itlve principle extended In
application , so as to bring the whole Indus
try more and imre under control of the
agrlcultuial , as distinguished fiom the capi
talist classes
S "To what particular circumstances
are co-opeiatlvc sugar factories best
adapted ? " Prlmatlly , in a country or dis
trict v here beet culture anl i > ugar manu
facture do not ahcady exist , fhe co-oper-
atlvo principle onabks n number of farmers
who v.kh to engage In beet glowing to secure
wlnt Is essential to thplr experiment the
erect ! n of a fac'ory which will buy and
work up thcli beet product. Second , co
operation Is especially advantageous when
ever , as at present , the selling price of
sugar Is so low as to oblige an Independent
factory to pay small prices for beets and
woik generally with extreme economy and
nn close margins Under the co-operative
svslcm the whole Industry Is concentrated In
the rauJs of agriculturists , who arc thus ren
dered Independent of mere capitalists , who
would contribute nothing but money and
might demand a larger Income from their In
vestment than tbe business would legiti
mately jleld Finally , co-operation secures
permanence and certainty , to fai as that Is
possible , to the whole sugar imiduclng In-
dustrj , by assuring to the sugar facto'y an
adequate supply of beetn for profitable opera
tion , and , on the other hand , gives to the
farmer a definite market for his beet crop
at a price In the fixing of which he , as a
stockholder , has a voice and vote.
"The capital paid in cannot be withdrawn
by the member , but his Intelest tn the cor
poration may , with the approval of the board
of supervision , bo transfrrred to other lartles
through a notarial act.
"Members are not liable beyond the amount
paid in and arc not required to make any
additional payments for any business pur-
noses whatsoever. The law will allow , how
ever , that assessments be levied , provided
this is Incorporated In the stttutcs.

"Tho factory returns all beet ch'ps ( after
tha sugar Is extracted ) and all ball washed
off the beets , and the member or seller of
beets Is obliged to promptly remove them at
his expense. ( This factory , as Is seen , re
turns all chips ; others return only a certain
peicentago and sell the rest. )
"The affairs of the corporation are man

| bcrs ( who may bo re-Heeled ) retiring every

I are to make alterations In or additions to

proper seed and fertilizer , fix the price of
the beets and the percentages to be deducted
for soil attaching to them and for beets Im
properly topped , limit Or OB and enter Into

I from the decisions of the board of dlrect-

"Stclrrg what to-operatlon bus done for the
1 German beet growers , " concludes the con
sul , "I am naturally partial to their sys-
j tenr , and. In fact , consider It the only one
under which I ho farmers obtain the full
. benefit of their labor. Hut , as before nu-n-
J Honed , the time for starting on a fcniall scale
1 Is past , and It will n quire much capital ( In
i my estimation , from $250,000 upwards ) to
start a factory In the United Elates able to
J profl'abl } produce and co'iipoto , Farmers
with the necessary means and suitable soil
' should pot hesitate to adept this co-opera-
tlon tenure , and It should aUo bo the aim

HAVANIA , Oct. 8. The cscnpo of Senorlta
.Rvangcllno . Casslo , otherwise Casslo Cls-
ncros , has caused quite a sensation In
Havana , The Investigation made by the
authorities has developed a number ot addi
tional facts Itr the case. It Is now asserted
that the young woman escaped between 11
o'clock nnd midnight of Wednesday over
tbe i oof ot a neighboring house and through
It to the street below , O'Karrall Line , and
not Into the street , where the police found
a hand Udder. On the root of the adjoining
house the Authorities found tbrco planks ,
each about three feet long and eighteen
Inches vvldo , Joined together by strong
hinges , so as to servo as a bridge , enabling
A person to pass from the roof of thi > prison
lo the roof of the house referred , to. The
authorities also found on tbe roof a revolver
of a large caliber , having Its six chambers
loided , nnd a now knattod rope , which had
evidently been used as a life line or guiding
rope to enable the escaping prisoner to cross
the plank bridge which had been , extended
by her accomplices from tire house near
the Ca&a do HlcoJIdas to the roof ot that
prison.
The revolver , the knotted rope and the
portable bridge , as well as other discoveries
made by the police , show that the escape
of Senorlta Casslo w is long and carefully
plinncd. She must have been In constant
communication with these who enabled her
to escape from tire Casi do Hlcojldas , where
she was Imprisoned with eleven other women.
AIDED DY TWO MEN.
Some of the details of the young Cuban's
escape are qtrlto romatlc. It appears that a
real estate agent named Marlene Vcrnandes ,
who was in charge ot the house , No. 1
OTerrall Luno , declares that he recently
rented that building to two well dressed
young men , The latter seemed to be highly
respectable , hired the house for two months
anJ pild the rent , in advance. The building
was poorly furnished , but the young men
seemed to be perfectly satisfied with their
surroundings , and little or no notice of them
was taken by the neighbors or" by anybody
else , In bplto of the fact that the house was
situated close to the prison In which n young
Cuban girl , whoso story caused such a sensa
tion In the United States , was confined.
When the rooms nt No 1 O'Farrall Lane
were searched , the police In addition to the
articles already described , found a bag of
lime , a can of poln .and a lirge lirjjsh , which
might bo used for tire application of either
lime or paint. Inside the wundow. through
which Scnorita Casslo escaped the police dis
covered a bed sheet , and , aa this apartment
was her sleeping room , the au-h'rltl"s ) arc
Inclined to believe that the sneet was used
by the escaping prisoner to envelop bcrself
w Ith the object ot deceiving" her roomrrutco ,
If Ehe was unlucky .enough to awaken them ,
Into the belief that she was moving about ir
her night clothes The quarter of the prison
which was occupied by Senorlta Casslo Is
known as the new hall , for the reason tha. '
it was constructed only seven , _ montlis ape
It was set npart for the use of political
prisoners am\ \ was quite comfortable com
pared with other Spanish prisons.
CANDY WlAS DRUGGED.
The companions of the young Cuban woman
whom she left behind say that the day be
fore Senorlta Casslo escaped Hire received a
package , believed to have contained drugged
candles. In any case , the senorlta , contrary
to her usual customdid , _ not.at . ouce dis
tribute the candles , fo herl prison companions
' "
panions , but wa'lfed"until Wednesday night ,
when she urged eacn of them to partake
of the confectlorib The prisoners did so ,
and they express the conviction that the
sweets were drugged , for they s > eon after
ward fell Into a deep sleep and did not
awaken throughout the night , although the
filing of tbe Iron bar of the senorlta's bed
room window must have caused enough
noise to have awakened the prisoners under
ordinary circumstances.
Tlic-re Is a division of opinion as to whether
the escape of the senorlta was effected by
Americans or by Cuban Insurgents. The po-
llco arc hard at work Investigating the es
cape and all the Spanish authorities along
the coast have been communicated with , In
the belief < hat an attempt may bo made to
embark the senorlta upon some vessel leav
ing Cuba for the United States or "elsewhere.

PEOIUA , Oct. 8. This afternoon occurred
the exercises dedicatory of the Bradley
Polytechnic Institute , to which a wealthy
Peorla woman , Mrs. Lydla Bradley , has
given $2,500,000 The building Is a very
handsome and spacious ono of white stone ,
and near by Is another largo edifice of tbo
same material , which will be occupied by an
horologlcal Institute under the control of the
same board of trustees. IA number of prom
inent educators from abroad , Including college -
lego presidents , were In attendance. The
most notable feature on the program was
the dedicatory address by Hon. Lyman J.
Gage , becretary of the treasury.
Mr. Gage said In part :

Compare this movement , working In true
harmony with that law of nsccndlng tplrnls ,
which Mr. Umerson graphically describes ,
with ano her and more faml'lar movement ,
beginning Irr poverty and ending InjiHtc
and bhame It Is thus described by a
quondam , yet obscrvatlvc philosopher :
