They wish.. 'urther and give the

What the colonies and 'Great Britain
should do was to Join in common cause
to meet American competition. Should
this be done, the result need not be
feared, said Mr. Seddon, because the Brit
ish workmen and manufacturers were un-
equaled in the whole world.
All the colonial premiers, with the ex
ception of Sir Wilfrid Laurler, the prime
minister of Canada, who is in London, were
given a great ovation here today. Mr. Bar

now ought to look to consolidation rather
than to acquisition.
George W. Ross, premier of Ontario, de
clared In a speech that the war in South

CAPE TOWN, July 28. General Dewet
proved that he could evade friends aa suc
cessfully as he did enemies by arriving
here unexpectedly this afternoon and up
setting all the elaborate plans prepared for
his reception. He strolled through the
streets, casualty nodding to acquaintances
and occasionally to a former opponent. Ar
rangements were quickly made by Afri
kanders to entertain the famous leader to
night at a aeml-prlvate dinner, tickets to
which- already atand at five guineas pre
mium. - ,'
A striking contrast to Dewet'a return was
the scene Bunday when Generals Botha and
Delarey attended church. . The building
was packed mainly with women, and the
service was scarcely concluded when these
Cape Town admirers stormed the pew In
which the generals sat. With difficulty
they retreated to the vestry. The congre
gation followed and Generals Botha and
Delarey were lifted to the veatry table. The
paator of the church warmly remonstrated,
whereupon a number of those preaent
seized the generals and carried them to
carriages, where another demonstration
ensued.

TO UTILIZE BEET ELEMENTS
German Association af Cultarlsta Of-
fere Cash Prise for Best Dry- ,
Insr Procesa.
(From a 8taff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. July 28. (Special.) "As
an indication of the direction in which prog
ress Is now being sought for and promoted
among sugar beet growers may be cited the
proceedings of a recent meeting of the Ver
eln der Deutscben Zucker Industrie, a na
tional association of beet culturlsts and
sugar manufacturers, wherein It was decided
to offer a prise of 10.&O0 marks ($2,380) for
the best process which" can be devised tor
drying beet leaves and heads 1. e., the top
which is cut off when the sugar beet Is
trimmed preparatory to grinding," saya
Consul General Frank H. Mason, In a let
ter to the State department, from Berlin.
"The desperate condition." continues Mr.
Mason, "In which the beet sugar industry
will be left by abolition of export bounties
compels anew every possible economy In
the conservation and use of each element
In the raw material. This use of the pulp
leaves and waste molasses as food for rat
tle Is a chapter of the general subject
which hss hitherto attracted comparatively
little attention in the United States. Its
importance In Germany, as well as the pres
ent technical status ot the leaf-drying
process In this country, will be Indicated
by the conditions of the teets which com
petitors for the prise must be prepared to
meet. These, as officially announced .on
June 27, are as follows: '
"First Leaves and heads dried by ths
competing apparatus or process shall not
contain water in exceed of 12 per cent.
"Second The prepared product must be
of good form and condition, as free ss pos
sible from foreign substances and smell,
and not scorched or burned.
"Third The loss of soluble nutritive ele
ments In the drted leaves sa compared with
fresh leaves shall not exceed IB per rent.
"Fourth The working cost of the pvuieas,
Including depreciation end wear and tear
of plant, shall "be In such relation to the
fodder value of the product that It will be,
when properly Installed and managed, eco
nomically profitable.
"The remaining specifications provide
that the plant for working the' process
shall n6t be unsightly or prejudicial to the
neighborhood In which It Is located; that
the competing plans,' drawings and de
scriptions must be filed before September
15, 1902, at the office of Privy Councillor
Koenlg, In Berlin, and the apparatua be
ready for trial at a place to be designated
by the commission during the period from
October 15 to November 25 of the present
year. The result of this competition in
utilising for winter fodder what has hith
erto been in our country almost a wasted
element of beet culture will be worthy of
the careful attention of sugar beet farmers
in the United States."

RUMOR OF UNION PACIFIC'S PLAN
Report that Compear Seeks ta Im
port Forelan Mechanics ta Sup
plant Strlkera In Their
Shops.
As the result of an effort to trace down
a rumor that the Union Pacific would try
to Import skilled merhsnlcs from Europo
to take the places of strikers. District Sec
retary Grace of the machlnlnta received
a letter yesterday from the National Immi
gration bureau at Washington informing
htm that the department would make an,
official Investigation ot this report and if
true employ every means bt preventing the
Union Pacific from carrying out Its plan.
President McNeil of the bollerraakera, who
has been working en the same matter, has
been advised In answer to lettera to asso
ciates in the esat that every available re
source will be exhausted In suppressing any
auch movement.
The letter from the Immigration bureau
to Mr. Grace eaya that, the department Is
grateful for the. advance Information, and
assures the men here that If the Union Pa
cific really ahould be contemplating auch
a step It will be Intercepted and the Immi
gration laws, which strictly forbid such
Importation of foreign labor to supplant
American labor,, rigidly enforced.
Ths understanding of the strikers here Is
that the company's plsn contemplates most
of the European Importations from ths city
of Glasgow, the great center of mechanical
Industries and the home of the most skilled
workmen.
McNeil Discredits Story.
"I take little atock In that story." said
President McNeil, when asked his opinion
aa to the authenticity of the report. "The
laws of the country are ao strict upon that
subject that the Union Pacific Railroad com
pany would not dare to undertake such a
step aa that.
"It weuld be folly to suppose that the
company did not fully appreciate tho grav
ity ot the law in this case. Of course
there Is some possibility ot the report be
ing true; things of that kind have been
undertaken, but I must confess I am not
disposed to put much faith In thla rumor.
At any rate, we are not annoyed over it
whether it.be true or not, for we feel cer
tain that the law will be sustained and
the company would fall, even If It at
tempted auch a movement."
Viewa of other atrlka leaders differ from
this. Some are strongly of the opinion that
tho company has gone to thla extent of
trying to supplant Its old men. District
Secretary Grace and others who, while not
vouching for the veracity of the report,
argue that the company haa bad sufficient
time in which to find out whether It could
get skilled mechanics on this side of the
water. It haa been conclusively demon
strated, they assert, that an adaquate
number of skilled men cannot be secured
in America, outside ef the unions, and that
realising thla, the company has decided, to
mske a final effort to fill Its shops before
yielding to the strikers.
"Probably you observed that at first the
company went no further than Chicago for
ita nonunion men; then it branched out to
Milwaukee, picked up a few In Kanaaa City
and jumped to the north, bringing down
small forces from St. Paul and Minneapo
lis. Then they landed some from Cleveland
and the last batch that came in came from
aa far east as Philadelphia, and only last
week a man quit at North Platte who had
come all the way from New York to go to
work. It' looks to me like a fair test has
bsen made and the company baa been
shown that it cannot get even enough un
skilled or nonunion men to take the
strikers' places."
This Is the view of Mr. Grace.
Nonunion Men Meet.
The nonunion men in the shops held a
meeting yesterday afternoon. What was
done was not known outside of their own
circles, but some who deserted later in
the day reported that there was a strong
feeling of unrest and that the entire force
waa on the verge of leaving the shops.
Strikers' pickets reported last night that
twenty-live of the men quit at the close
ot work hours. This report could not be
confirmed. Nine' men appeared at Labor
temple, however, claiming to have been
among tba number that had left the ahops
and the gave the Information that sixteen
others were In the office of General Fore
man Tuttle, demanding their time, when
these men left.
Those who came out base their com
plaints UDon the Introduction of piecework,
saying they could not earn a fair day's
pay at thla system. Two of the men who
came out aald they had 860 each, aaved
from their earnlnga In the shops.
Regarding the number of men Intro
duced Into the ahopa and those deserting
the officials and strikers ara at direct
variance In. their atatementa. The offi
cials positively deny that aa many men
have deserted as claimed by the strikers
and hold that the quota on ths Nebraska
division Is almost up to normal. Further,
they dispute the assertion that there ie
any aerloaa defection among their men, and
persistently deny that the men have been
forced to pay their own board or accept
piecework, only In exceptional cases. Ths
company is aa positive in ita claims aa
ths strikers are in theirs and officials ex
press the utmost astonishment at what
they regard Illusions of the strikers.
Preeldent McNeil of the Brotherhood ot
Boilermakers and Iron Shipbuilders lsst
nlxht received a telegram from the Louis
ville A Nashville, the Alabama ft Great
Southern and other roada entering Bir
mingham, on which the bollermakera are
striking, requesting him to order the men
back to work, but he refused to comply
