ST. LOUIS, Feb. 6.--The Northern Cane Grow
ers' association, with delegates from Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Minnesota and other
States, is in session here, and discussing SUBJ
jects relating to the growth Of cane, manufac-
ture of sugar and various interests relating to
this important farming industry. A. NJ. Nc
Kenney, Of St. Louis county, presided Temporal
rily, and made brief address. The COMMITTEES
on permanent organization reported constitu-
tion which provides that the organization shall
be known as the Mississippi Valley Cane Grow
ers' association, and that meetings shall be held
annually. The following officers were also re-
ported and elected for the ensuing year: John
Walker, Missouri, president; A. NJ. McKenney,

cording secretary; E. W. Douglass, treasurer;

Mr.. Belcher, of the Belcher sugar refinery,
this city, examined a sample of sugar made by
Mr.. Miller, of Minnesota, and pronounced it
equal to the best New Orleans sugar, and worth
in bulk cents per pound.
frol. stewart, or pennsylvania, gave great
deal of information about sugar making, not
only from different kinds of cane, but corn
stalks and beets, and exhibited sugar made
from cane and cornstalk juice. If his new
process comes into use it is said any farme,
can obtain 1000 pounds of sugar per acre from
amber and other canes. The papers read auo

THE BEHNKE CALAMITY.
Fire, Failure and Suicide, AlI IN Quick
Succession.

Succession.
New Ulm Review, Feb. 81
At o'clock this morning the stiffness of the night
was suddenly broken by the shrill whistles of the
Eagle and City mills and the cry of fire. Upon has
tening to the scene We found Brust & Co.'s ware
mouse, located just below the Eagle mill, on the
panks OF the river, totally enveloped in flames.
Inc tre department was promptly on the ground,
put as the whole building was one mass of flames
before the alarm was gven nothing could be done to
save 1t, or its contents. Fourteen thousand bushels
OF wheat were stored in the warehouse $4,000 BUSH
els OF which belonged to H. Behnke & Bro. and the
remainder was stored there by farmers and
others There was also considerable oats and corn
IN the b iding, all Of which is total loss. We un-
derstand that II. Behnke II Bro. had their wheat in
ss1red: but to what amount we did not learn. The
building was Insured for $1,000. That this is the
heliish deed ct an incendiary no one for moment
doubts as no fire had been in the Office stove for
number of days, and the fire originated in the south
west corner of the building.
1t becomes our painful duty to chronicle the first
failure Of any magnitude that has ever occurred in
our city. H. Behnke Bro. have been forced to the
wall and their store was closed YESTERDAY Afternoon
We have not ascerained the liabilities Of the firm.
but we understand that they are quite heavy. The
credit system and the continued failure crops for
the past five years has done it.
THE SUICIDE.
just as we go to press the horrible intelligence
reaches us that Henry Behnke, senior member of
the firm OF Fl. Behnke & Bro, has committed sui
eide by taking poison. He was discovered about Q
clock this morning in room in the upper story of
the store, and as The body was quite cold when
found it is supposed he committed the rash deed
early in the morang. This certainly is sad sequel
to the above, and the heartfelt for the act-
ed family of the deceased is plainly written on the
countenance of all our citizens.
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1879-02-07

could abolish all departments of the govern
ment or break down the Judiciary, work
revolution, by vote and it would be in order.
He hoped that the chairman OF that committee
would rule upon this as q matter of discretion
and patriotism, and prevent the Hood of BUSH
ness being poured upon the appropriation
committee, which would ere long break down
that committee, and array against it every
other committee of the House. The time would
not be far distant when other committees
would see their business taken out of their
hands. He did not think that the committee
on appropriations desired it. 1t was simply
made the convenience of all sorts of schemes,
but if it did desire it it would be made the
usurper of the authority of the House.
MIR. Randall, the speaker, said that rule 100
did not allow any legislation except such as
should save money to the people. Prior to the
adoption of that rule the rule had been to per-
NIT extravagances to be put upon the appro-
priation bills but no amendment in the direc-
