Rapid Progress. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. (Special. )-Thn bureau of the census has Just published bulletin 61. which contains the reports on the Industries of canning and preserving, rice denning- and polishing, and manufac turing beet sugnr. These reports form P.rt of the census of manufactures for ISffi and cover the stntlstlcs of these In dustries for the calendar year 1904. The Industry of canning- and preserving, as defined by the bureau Of the census, embraces all establishments which are en gaged primarily In canning or preserving fruits, vegetables. Ash, oysters, clams and shrimps. There were 2,708 such establish ments In 1!H. Their total capital was $70, 0S2.076. and they employed 63,862 persons, paid out n7.4M.3r In wages, consumed ma terials costing T70.flM.S86 and manufactured products to the value of $108,505,471. In all of these Items, except that of the num ber of persons employed, the Industry shows a marked Increase since the census of 19"0. The decrease In the number of persons employed waa slight and was due to the Increased use of the contract system, under which laborer are riot reported as employes. Can ulna- Prodnrta. In the total production for the United States, the largest Item was canned vege tables, the value of which was 4fi,22,l, or 41 7 per cent of the total. Canned and dried fruits come next with a value of $27,308, 828. The value of flsh was $25,547,075, of which canned flsh constituted $16.9S3.779; smoked flsh, $2,362,740, and salted flsh, $6,200,556. The value of oysters, canned, was $3,799 418. The leading state In the totnl value of canned products was California, for which $24.82t,128.waa reported, most of It for fruit, canned or dried. New Tork was second to California, reporting products vMucd at $12,910,755. This state held second place, not because It excelled In the production of any particular class of goods, but because It canned large quantities of nearly all classes. Maryland was third with products valued at $12,705,611 and was the leading state In the canning of vegetables. The value of Its products of this class was $9,566,611. The establishments In the United States reporting this Industry are subdivided Into three groups, according as their principal product Is canned or preserved fruits and vegetables, canned or preserved flsh, or canned and preserved .oysters, clams or shrimps. Fruit. anJ Vegetable.. The canning and preserving of fruits and vegetablea la by far the moet important branch of the canning Industry. The 2,261 establishments engaged in It used $47,629,497, or 68 por cent of the capital, and employed 39,988, or 79.6 per cent of the wage earners. The Ave leading states, ranked according to the value of nil products, were Califor nia, Maryland, New York, Indiana and Illinois. In the production of canned and dried fruits California led with a product valued at .about $21,000,000. Maryland, with a product valued at about $5,000,000, was the leading state In the can ning of tomatoes. The total value of to matoes canned In the country was $13.8S5,169. In the canlnng of corn the leading state In value of products was Iowa, which re ported $2,616,178. Illinois, New York and Maryland were next In the order named, but In quantity the product of Maryland exceeded that of New York. The total value of the corn canned In the country was $15,962,066. In the canning of peaa New York was first with a product valued at $2,678,291; Wis consin waa second and Maryland third. Por the country as a whole the value of the pea. canned waa $7,928,791. Flsh. The branch of the Industry next In Im portance was the canning and preserving of flsh, In which 373, or 13.S per cent of the total number of establlsments, were en gaged. They used $19,853,016, or 28.3 per cent of the total 'capital, and employed 6,959, or 13.9 per cent of the wage-earners. Alaska led "In the production of canned and preserved flsh. It held that position because of it. salmon canneries, the value of the salmon canned In that territory being $7,618,579. Washington, which was second in salmon canning, reported products valued at $2,431,605, or less than one-third the amount reported by Alaska. The total value of the salmon canned In the United States waa $11,843,521. Tho canlnng of sardines la confined prin cipally to the state of Maine, which re oorted products to the value of $1,291,321, 'he total for the .United States being only M.380,498. Massachusetts led In the production of nlted ccd with an output of 37,913.154 oounds, valued at $2,511,153, more than three times the combined otuput of all other states. The canning and preserving of oyster, was the least Important of the three branches of the Industry. Only fluty-nine, or 2.6 per cent, of the total number of cs 'ablUhments were engaged In It ami they used only $2,599,563, or 3.7 per cent of the total capital, and employed only 3,291. or i.5 per cent, of the wage-earners. Ranked according to the value of oysters canned, Mississippi was first. Maryland second. South Carolina third, Louisiana fourth and teirgla fifth. , Rice Cleanlnsr. The cleaning and polishing of rice Is arrled on as an Industry In seventy-tour -stablishments In eight states. Five of hese state. North Carolina, Soujh Caro Ina. Georgia. Louisiana and Texas are southern state, and the remaining three re the states bordering on the Pacific rean.

In this country only the whole rice and the highest grade of broken rice are used aa a table food, although the breaking of a grain Into small piece. In no way dimin ishes Its palatablllty or nutritive value. Aa I a result of the demand for whole rice Its value Is high. In 19ti this grade formed 41.1 per cent of the total quantity of the rice products and was valued at 74.4 pr cent of the total value, while the broken rice formed 21. S per cent of the quantity and was valued at only 20.2 per cent of the total. The quantity of rice and rice products exported during the year ending June 30. 1905, amounted to 2"4, 101,967 pounds, valued at $ri.332.!6, while only 99.19,817 pounds, j valued at $1,864,861, were Imported. Pur lng the la-st fifteen years the general ten dency has been toward an Increase In the exports and a decrease In the Imports. In iroi the totnl quantity of the exports was S.490.S95 pounds, valued at $59,714. while the Imports for that year reached 214.363.5N2 pounds, valued at $4,559,540. Beet Ausnr. The manufacture of sugar from beets Is a comparatively new Industry In the United States, but It has progressed at a rapid rate. Statistics for this Industry were reported for the first time at Iho census of 1S80. Between that year and 19o5 the number of . establishments In creased from four to fifty-one; the capltat, from $366,000 to $Ti6,923145; the number of wage earners, from 350 to 3.963; the wages, from $62,271 to $2,4S6,702; the cosf of ma terlals used, from $186,128 to $14,46.876, and the value of products, from $282,572 to $24, SP3.794. The greater part of this Increase has taken place since 1900, when the number of establishments was thirty, the capital $20,141,719, the cost of materials $4.SWI,7!, and the output $7,323,857. In that year there were 1,970 wage earners employed In the sugar factories, receiving $1,092,207 In wages. . Thus In the five years between 19) and 1906 the total amount paid out for Hie material, used In the beet sugar Industry Increased threefold, and the total value ef the products more than threefold, while the average number of wage earners doubled and the total amount paid in w:ig-;s more than doubled. The 2,175.417' tons of beets used In the manufacture of beet sugar were grown on 240,757 acres and cost $11,345,785. Mote than four-fifths of these beets were grown by contract by Independent farmers, for ther? Is a tendency among the factories to con tract for as much of the crop as possible rather than to have a large acreage of beets grown directly by the factory. The production of granulated sugar, which was the prlncipul product, amounted to 496,618,314 pounds, valued at "$23,493,373. Other products of Importance were 11,223,607 pounds, of raw sugar, valued at $431,229; 9,609,643 gallons of molasses, valued at $221,057, and beet pulp valued at $202,070. By-Prodnct.. The utilization of by-products Is one of the leading factor. In the contest between the use of cane and beets In the manu facture of sugar and it la probable that in the near future the by-product, will con stitute one of the principal sources of ln como for a beet sugar factory. In many European countries molasses and beet sugar are used extensively for cattle food and this use Is being developed to a limited extent In this country. Quantities of beet Juice are used In the manufacture of alcohol, and lime cake, which la another by-products .of the beet sugar Industry; Is being employed for fer tilizers and In making pavements.

The greatest actual Increase In value of products In 1903. as compared with 1900, oc curred In Colorado, and the next greatest In Michigan. The largest sugar factory In this country and one of the largest In the world Is lo cated In California, which state possesses a larger acreage that Is well adapted to the growing of sugar beets thnn Is found In any other stute in the union. In Cali fornia and In Colorado Irrigation 13 used In the growing of beets. In the latter state extensive experiments In feeding cattle and sheep on beet pulp are bolus curried on, and the beet pulp branch of the Industry Is further advanced here than In any other state. In Michigan also the utilization of tie by-products has received considerable attention. A nellable Ht-mrdy for Cronn.

The health of the shah today shows that he Iihs made a further slight Improvement, but he Is still very weak. At 4 o'clock this afternoon his majesty was sleeping. LONDON, Dec. 8. A dispatch received here this morning from Paris announced that It was reported there that the shah of Persia waa dead. Neither the Persian legation nor the Persian bank here have received anything confirmatory of the rumor. The British Foreign otllce also dis credit, the report. Malady I. Fatal. BERLIN, Dec. 8. Although the German Foreign office does not believe the shah of Persia Is . so . near . death as r ported from Terehan, it ts well understood that hi. passing cannot long be dcluyed, as his maladies are In their final stages. Germany Is popularly supposed. In Great Britain and Franco especially, to Le pur suing mysterious political objects with the ultimate design of acquiring territorial ad vantage, in Persia. The German volley, the Associated Pres. Is Informed, is simply equal trade privileges in Persia for all nations. The principle of the German pol icy In Persia has been clearly explblned to the foreign offices of Great Britain and Russia and misunderstandings such a. those that made the Moroccan question seri ous are not likely to arise. The offer of the banking concession by the shah waa voluntary and was part of his plan to borrow money from Germany. He had already borrowed through the British owned "Imperial Bank of Persia" and the Russian owned Banque d'Escompte. German Trader. Active. The activity and enterprise of the Ger man traders led the shah', adviser, to suggest the establishment of a German bank in Persia. The German Foreign office considered that Germany already pos sessed the right to form such a bank under the most favored nation clause of the treaty between Persia and Oermany, and therefore the shah's offer aroused no particular feeling of gratitude. The For eign office eventually turned over the con cession to a group of Berlm bankers, but they have not done anything' with It as yet except to agree to send representa tives to Persia some time this winter to see if any money can be made out of the concession. Rusela Is more the rival of Germany for the trade in Persia than is Great Britain, possessing as It does a treaty under which the customs dues on overland Imports are lower than those Imposed on seaborne Imports, and both Great Britain and Germany have a com munity of Interests in obtaining an equali zation of the seaport and land frontier dues.

STORY OF FRENCH CONVICT Parisian Publishers Bid Utah for rtlKlit to Story from Ileal Life. PARIS. Dec. 8. (Special.) The police have discovered in the rooms of a convict named Sporn a manuscript entitled "The Tiuo Account of the Adventures of an Escaped Convict." The book Is extremely powerful and Paris publishers are bidding high for the riguts to produce the rime, Sporn appears to be something of a philosopher, for the recital of his adven ture la Interspersed with numerous moral reflections and appreciations n the beau ties of nature, written In almost a religious strain. Sporn as a habitual criminal had been ordered to live for the remainder of his life In French Guiana and ho has Just fin ished a sentenco of eight years there. But he longed to revisit France and to partici pate In his escape ho selected fourteen followers, "murderers, but not thieves." Each paid $10 per head tow ird the expenses Under the pretext of wishing to start In business as a flsh dealer he obtained a fishing license to navigate In the Maronl river and bought a large fishing boat. SThl he gradually stored with pVrvlMons and all being ready he started off with his four teen companions. "My object was to run for Venezuela," ho says, "curefully avoiding landing In Dutch and British territory, whero all French convicts are Immediately hnnded lmck to the French authorities, and to reach the Venezuelan republic It was neces sary to Kteer light out for the open se.i. cut of sight of the coi.st. My companions hud all promised to obey me as captain, for I had made a speclr.l study of naviga tion and of charts and maps of the coast. But when the morning broke and they dis covered they were already out of sight of land nil became alarmed and threatened to kill me If I did not return. Of course I expostulated with them and ' pointed out that If they killed me they would have no one to navigate the boat and that they never would get back to land. This argu ment held them down for a time, but not being sure of Just what they would do and not caring to venture too far from the shore 1 returned. After two days we were caught In a heavy ground swell and thrown upon a sandy bench closed In by a dense brush. Four of us were drowned. "We succeeded with' Infinite pains in re covering the boat, some of our provisions nnd the body of one of our companions. And there Is rtlll before my eyes the pic ture of the Impressive and solitary funeral we gave our poor mate on this lonely Iwaeh. Outvlde the pale of the law ns we were there was not a man of us who was not profoundly moved, fme of us had formerly been a divinity student end he said a few extempore prayers over the new mad"' grave In the sard," The ten survivors finally succeeded li making the little British port of New Am sterdam. Afier reictuni:ing they were bhliged to get away as hastily as possible, fur they noticed that they had already aroused the pusolclons of the residents. Out In the sea they were caught In a fejr ful hurricane and were afraid that every moment would tie their last. They were buffeted about within eisy reach of George town, but dared not go In. Eventually lliev were agnn wrecked on a lonely and dtn gerous coast, and they finally suffered s much ttitt they were obliged to resort to cannibalism. It is advlauble to par over the cannlballstti features which Srn gives.
