partment to endeavor to adjust thesu claim
ami other Issues against Morocco without
uny show of force and by ordinary practice
of diplomacy.
It 1h said that tho United States consul
general, who hid conceived that obstacles
were purposely placed In tho way of hlu
access to the court, haa received assurances
that the Mutual reason for the departure of
the 'court from Morocco was to pay n lonR
duel visit to another section of the country.
It also was promised that tho court would
return within n month or six week and
would receive Mr. Oummerc, probably at
Mazagan, thus obvlntliiK the necessity on

WASHINGTON, Mnrch 27. (Special Tele
gram.) The right over the location of thu
Grand Island postolTlce Is to be gone all
over again, according to the decision of
I'os'.ma&ter General Charles Kmory Smith.
Yesterday Mr. Smith sent for Senator
Thill ston with a view of ascertaining the
lattcr'3 wishes regarding tho location of the

not any affair of his, In view of his retire
ment from tho position of United States
senator, that ho had refrained from taking
any hand in the tight until nn Inspector of
the 1'oxtotTlce department had ascertained
thu wishes ot tho business Interests of
Oram! Island ns to tho location of the
ofllco and the report the Inspector made
was of so conclusive n character seemingly
that ho had no other recourse but to con
cur in its recommendations.
Thu postmaster general Intimated to
Senator Thurston that he will proceed lo
enrry out tho wishes of the latter nt once
If ho would only make them known. Tho
senator refused to do so on the ground
that he tind had enough criticism during
his senatorial career and he wanted now to
enjoy a breathing spell. Mr. Smith then
stated that under the circumstance, thero
bclnf; decided objection on the part of the
Grand Army of the Republic of Grand
Island to the site decided on, ho would
order nnother Investigation, which will bo
mado nt once. The feeling In Iho PostofUcc
department Is wholly with tho site selected
in the business center ot Grand Island mid
but it short distance nway from tho rail
road, and It Is not nt all doubted but thnt
the Inspector ordered to make a new In
M'stlgatlon will report the same ns his
predecessor, that the business Interests of
Grand Island arc against tho Grand Army
of tho Ilopubllc hall site.

WASHINGTON. March 27. (Special.) Au
Interesting nnd comprehensive bulletin has
bten ts.iued by the census olllcc upon th'
manufacture of beet sugar In tho United
States. Thu bulletin was prepared by Dr.
Guilford L, Spencer of the Department of
Agriculture while noting In the capacity
of expert special agent In the manufacture.-,
division of the census office. In thu prep
oration of this bulletin Dr. Spencer per
sonally visited ccry beet sugar factory In
operation In tho United States. Reports
wero received from thirty establishments
engaged In tho manufacture of beet sugar
during the census year ending May 31. t!)01,
and from onu factory equipped for the In
dustry which was Idle. These factories
nro distributed In ten states nnd one ter
ritory. Tho bulletin shows that the total
capital Invested In tho beet sugar nianu
ficture In the United States during the
census year named was $20.95S,519. Of this
ntuount $11,420,323 Is Invested In machin
ery. $3,S!U,37I In bulldltigs nnd tho re
mainder In raw materials, stock In process
of manufacture, finished products on hand
and other sundries. In many instnnces
lnrgc ttaeta of laud nro owned by the com
panies and devoted to agriculture.
The census of IS30 disclosed that only
two beet sugar factories were In operation
when that census was mnde nnd that the
nlue ot the product nt that time was but
$510,500. The factories In operation or
ready to operate at tho present time are
distributed os follows:
Colorado, 1; Illinois, 1; Minnesota, I;
Nebraska, 3; New Mexico, 3; New York. 2;
Oregon. 1; Utah, 3; Washington. 1; Cali
fornia, S, and .Michigan, 9. Of tho thlrty
ono working factories twenty-iilno nro con
trolled by Incorporated coinpanlea and two
by Individuals.
Tho nominal dally capacity of nil fac
tories In tho United States Is 22,310 tone.
The value of tho products for the year end
ing May 31. 1900, was $7,3:3,857.. Tnls com
paratively small value Is due to nn enor
mous shortngc In the crop of sugar beets
for tho year ending May 31, 1900.
In nil branches of sugar manufacturing
the plentiful harvests must carry tho In
dustry over the years of failure and yield
a return that will mttkc the average earn
ings Justify the Investment.
Small I'rollt I the teriiKr.
Of the total number of factories several
were not completed when the harvests were
ready, and In some instances there were
serious losses from deterioration of Iho
beets. As a whole, there was an npparent
small profit earned by the factories. In
ccrtnln cases handsome dividends wero
paid, in others thero were heavy lostcs,
nnd In many instnnces the fuctorlcs little
moro thnn paid expenses.
Tho acreage actually contracted for In
1S99 was 135,305. Ilecausof tho shortage
of the crop in vnrlous parts of tho country,
particularly In California, beets were ac
tually harvested from but 105,175 acres, and
tho nverage yield, eight tons per acre, waa
very unsatisfactory.
Tho iicrcago seeded for tho crop of I'.'OO
was only 123,400 acres, whereas approx
imately 200,000 acres would have been re
quired fully to supply the demand of tho
factories during that yenr. The avcrago
price paid per ton of 2,000 pounds of beets
was as follows: United Stntes, $4.39; Cali
fornia, $1.47: Michigan. $4.38; all other
states nnd territories, $l.2i. In California
nnd Michigan thirteen factories purrhnscd
on a basis of the analysis and four pur
chased nt n fixed price. Of the fuctorlcs
In other parts of tho United States eight
purchased on a basis of the analysis and
blx paid a fixed price. Tho value of the
products of all the factories of tho United
States for the ve.ir 1900 were- Sugars.
$7,222,581: molasses. $25,102: beet puip,
$21,822; Juice. $51,000; lime, $612; fertil
izers, $2,710; total, $7,323,857.
Tho bulletin contain:! a historical review
of tho beet sugar Industry In the United
States, which shows that until 1879 all
efforts to make beet sugar wero failures.
Ilnrl.i lit iierlinento.
Tho first experiments were mndc In

In Massachusetts, but were shortly aban
doned. No further attempts wero made until
1S63 and from that time until 1R7fi n num
ber ot failures occurred In California, Illi
nois ut.d Michigan. The first factory In
California was erected In 1870 at Alvarado,
tho first successful factory in Iho United
States. Theso work were operated with
varying success until 1899, when they
passed Into the hands of tho Alameda Sugar
company, which has rebuilt tho factory
and continued tho manufacture with buc
cces. In 1879 four factories were In operation,
two In California, one In Molnu and ono
In Delaware. Three of theso factories ap
parently yielded n Binall profit, but tho
history of tho Industry shows thnt except
tho ono factory In California all wero fail
ures. The favornble results obtained In
this factory and tho building of n new
factory nt Wntsonvllle, Cal., by Claus
Spruckcls gave a new Impetus to the sugar
Industry. Since then thirty-five factories
havo been built or aro In progress of
construction In tho country. The Oxnard
Hros. have been active In tho development
of the beet sugar Industry and through
their influence several largo factories huvu
been constructed.
Federal and state old have benefited the
beet sugar Industry to a considerable ex
tont. Thu bounty paid under tho provi
sion of the tariff act of 1S90 proved n pow
erful stimulus to Investments In beet sugar
manufacture. Since tho repeal of 'his act
the protective tariff on sugat has favored
domestic manufacture.

The Seat of Life
Is in the nervous system, the most delicate and important
part of the whole body. When the nerves become weakened or
diseased, the head aches, the circulation is retarded and the
digestion is deranged. Little things irritate the temper and worry
the mind, which only aggravates the disease until the whole sys
tem breaks down, and nervous prostration is followed by insanity
or death. Strengthen and build up the nerves and stop this
downward course before it is too late.
"My trouble began with aching pains In my urmn and
legs, headache, Indigestion, constipation and palpitation
of heart until I becamo so nervous nntl run-down that T
could not Unci relief until I. commenced taking Dr. Miles'
Nervine. It gave mo wonderful relief, and finally re
stored my health, for which I am very thankful."

this purpoie. The experience of the last
few years has not been such as to en
courage bounties, Several state legisla
tures have repenled their bounty laws and
the supremo court nt , Michigan has de
clared the bounty act of that r.tatc uncon
stitutional. Local aid has been extended
In a number of Instances In the form of
factory sites and exemption from taxation
for n term ot years.
Thero has been a marked Improvement
In tho Icet sugar Industry In Lie way of
lnbor-si'Vlng machines, the most notnblc
advances belnp In the convenient distribu
tion of ninchlnery nnd In the use of spe
cial devices for transporting anil handling
the raw material)!, products and by
products. Thero havo been also many Im
provements In the methods of transporta
tion, unloading nnd storage, of beets. A
dumping device much used In California
Is termed the net method. The net Is
stretched over tho bed of the wagon and
tho beets arc loaded upon It. The load Is
drawn alongside the ear or bin, to which
one edge of tho net Is then uttached. The
entire load Is now discharged nt one time
by drawing on the opposite edge of the
net by means of hotscs or :i motor. A pat
ented apparatus In tiso nt n western fac
tory consists cf n counterpoised tilting
table upon which the londcd wagon ot beets
Is damped, and by n single manipulation Its
contents nro dumpid Into the bin.
The California factories have a large re
ceiving capacity. Ono of them can receive
l.ooo tons of beets per day by wagon aluuc
if necessary.

Exceptional favorable conditions for beet
production In Utah have led the Utah
Sugar company to Increase Its manufac
ture by means of outlying stations, accord
ing lo the French system devised by Lltiurd.
Thu Utnh Sugar company operated one
auxiliary plant last year und Is equipping
n second for the present reason's work.
These uuxllinry plants nave n combined
capacity of from 700 to S00 tons of beets
per day. A thltd auxiliary plant Is now
being built by this company for thu clop
of 1901-1902. Tho Juice lecelves a part of
Its requirement of Hmo and Is then pumped
iippiolmatcly twenty miles through lho
Ineli pipe lines to the central factory. E

proper precautions no loss of sugar uetd
bo feared In tho uso of pipe lines.
A hopeful sign for the future ot the Amer
ican beet sugar Industry Is found In the ev
ident belief on tho part of the projectors of
ninny of the foetnrles that the Industry has
long since passed the experimental singe
This Is evidenced by the large, substantial
buildings und tho arrangement of machinery
so as to admit of readily enlarging the plant.
The beet sugar building of today Is lofty
nnd prepared for almost any emergency
that may arise In the development ot now
processes nnd new ninchlnery- Experience
has demonstrated that the greatest prob
lems of tho American beet sugar Industry
arc to be found In thu field rather than In
the factory. It should not bo nr.sumcd from
this statement Hint suitable beets are dif
ficult to grow In satisfactory quantities.
Thu problem Is to convince tho funnel
that with persistent effort and experience
ho will find sugar beets a surer and moic
profitable crop than many others. Of the
factories built In this country within tho
Inst few years tho most suemsful have
been designed nnd built by Amerlcnns. Thu
udvnnco In tho beet sugar Industry has been
so great that wo now have sovcral large

The statistics of the beet sugar ludustiy
show that for many years it has been man
ufactured on n small scale, but It has as
sumed largo proportions and In the lust
census moro than one-third of the ilo
mestlc sugar product was obtained from the
bret. This quantity of sugar, 70 tier cent
of which was suitable for Immediate con
sumption, was produced In a year of ex
tremely unfavorable agricultural condllion
In tho beet districts. The yield of beets
per acre was less than half that of an a
ecago season. The factories should readily
manufacture- moro than two and n half
times that quantity of sugar If supplied
with .sufficient raw material. The schedules
show that but ono factory received sufficient
beets and that many factories operated but
n small fraction of their capacity. The average-
quantity of beets worked per fnctory
was 2fi,189 short tons, nnd the uvorogo nom
inal capacity of tho factories, based upon
only 100 days' work, Is more I ban 00.000
tons. The average length of tho working
season Is not known, but for the United
States It Is probably nearer 140 than 100
days. Notwithstanding tho adverso agri
cultural conditions which resulted In a small
supply of raw material, the vnluo of the
products was larger than the expenditures,
A number of factories corned a fair return
on their Investments, others paid expenses
and several lost heavily. The statistics
demonstrate that heet sugar manufacture Is
n commercial success In the United States.
