POMONA , Cal. , Dec 1C ( Speslal..fter )
.he most proBjuirous year in its hlttory , the
CMno .lieot . sugar factory closed lest Satur
day night. Since It began business on July
17 the factory lias used US 742 tons of sugar
bnetf , . which have made 2.1 C72.0HO pounds o !
refined suga' . Last year Cb.OOO tons were
j--Fd and 10 lion OOD iioui ds of sugar made The
bent groweri have received JHSU.nCS for tlielr
product , or an average of y4 per ton. The
saccharine quality in the Chlno "beets has
averaged ID per cent.
The pay loll at the factory and refinery -for
1'tfour months and twenty-three flays the
big Ir.ntitullon lias been In rparation
amounts to J110.HOO. The men "have beun
employed In day and night shifts of ITS men
each. Altogether the Chlno factory and re-
JliiBrj LBE paid out for help , beets nnd ma-
terlalt over JfiOi000 in the past season.
When the "MeKlnloy " tariff law put the first
bounty on sugar In 1B90 the scene of the
Chiuo factory was a cow i-anch and land
there was worth about J20 an acre. The
Chlno factory was the In-st of the kind estab
lished in California under the operation nf
that law. Since then land has Increased to
over | 200 invalue nnd over $0,000.000 has
been expended at Chlno for labor and beets
Hundreds of families have found a prosper
ous livelihood In growing beets nnd working
for the beet sugar company.

the Bnti-Rc&lplng bill , now "before nongrea
liotween the American Ticket Ilrokorc' atso-
oiation nnd the National Association of Mer
chant * nnd Travelers , a commercial organ
isation whose offices and executive commit
tee are osated In Chicago , nnd wWch his
something over 2,000 membere in various
places throughout thee t and northwest.
Thp Merchants and Travelers some time
ago passed n resolution , urging upon con
gress the passage of the bill prohibiting the
scalping ol railroad tickets. .Recently they
were informed that n pamplilut.6lgnud "George
M. McKenrlc , for the American Tlckoi Brok
ers' association , " had been Bent to all mem
bers of Congrats stating that no such resolu
tion was pjased hy the Merchants' nn3 Trnv-
ilers' nfcenclitlon , and that the announce
ment that such a resolution had been passca
emanated from n few members of the organ
ization assembled In a r.tur chamber ession.
It V.HE further declared thst thp resol-ution
came from a few Diicar.n Jobbers , who were
In a conspiracy with thp railroads hy vhich
the ronda were to give to interior jobbprs n
low roUi to the Chicago market If the larg ?
Chicago jobbers would assist tlie roads to
? ure thp pEssnge of tlie nutl-scalplng law
Thu pamphlet alleges that the officers of th ?
Merchant ! , ' end Travelerr' nssoi'latlon have
bptrajed their trust iiid heve done In secret
what thpy never would dai-e attempt openly.
The oflircrs of the Merchants' and Travel
ers' cssoclatlon. who 'Inclulp ' H. TC. Hlgln-
hotham or Ma-sba ! Field i Co , A C Bart-
liitt of Hlbbard , Spencrr. Eartlott & Co. .
Adolph Nathan , and John V. Farwoll , jr. ,
were aroused to white heat vrheu they
learned of the charges made against them Iti
the pamphlnt. Thpy sent today a joint
message to Senator Oullntn and Congressman
AV. P. Hepburn , chairmen respectively of the
senate nnfl house rommlttepE on Intpratatr
commerce , saying tliat every assertion eor-
talned in thp pamphlet , "so far as It refers
to any fraudulcn.1 option 'by the National
Association of Merchants and Travelers IB
abholutely false. " They reaffirm their ,
opposition to ticket scalping and declare
that "this rnalicinuE-misrepresentation of our
association fully confirms our action "
A. M. Cornpton , chairman of the ex
ecutive committee of thp Merchants' and
Travelers' association said toflny : "There
was nothing secret nbout the matter. The
vote of the membeis V.HS secured fully thirtj
flays before the resolution was passed at the
Chicago meeting , and out of 2,000 ho voted
not over a dozen declared themselves in
favor of scalping. The statements in the
pamphlet , as far as they ru.la.te to nnj
crooked work by any member of our or
ganization , are utterly ur true. "
The bill will bp considered by the senate
Interstate commerce committee today , aod
as the time Is too limited for the officers
of tlie Merchants' and Travelers' association
to be present they Iiave asked for a hear
ing at some later date.

NEW YORK. Doc. Id. A dispatch to the

Is felt lor the saf.ty of Lieutenant Colonel .
Joaquln Ruiz , aide-fle-camp to General [
Blanco , who , it is feared , has met death as
the penalty for bearing a proposition for
Burrcnflor to a rebel camp. It seems thst
Colonel Ruls ! E c persnral friprd of Colonel
Aranguprrn , who was employed by him l o-
ore the war , when C-loiiel Ruiz was the c gl-
neer In charge of the Vento waterworks. Ri > - !
ccntly under oruers from General Blanco Col
onel Ruiz opened correspondence with Culonol
Arangueren , with the objetu or arranging an
interview. Colonel Arangneren wrote that lie I
would meet the colonel If the latter only dpI I
Ired to talk of personal affairs , to which the
colonel replied that he wished to talk about
political nutten > .
Colonel Arnngucren wrotp that he would
absolutely refuse to receive him on these
conditions and called his attention earnestly
to General Gomez's orders that all pesons J
entering insurgput camps to offer terms of
surrender should be put to death. He ai-
Bured Colonei ! Ruiz that he was prepares to
carry out the orders to the letter , and whlic
he esteemed him highly as an old friend , IIP
would hang him if he neglected the warn
ing.
ing.In
In spite of this Colonel Ruiz ntarted alone
on Sunday for Colonel Arangueren's camp ,
determined to risk al lln the attempt. In
leaving he raid If he did not return by TUCB-
dcy night , he might bp given up CE dead. So
far nothing bus been hpard of him , and there |
j
is Ilttlp room for doubt that the Insurgent
leader I.UB put Ills threat into execution.
