Pronounced Equal to the Best New Orleans
Sugar by Competent Authority--Missis
sippi Valley Cane Growers Association.
ST.. LOUIS, Feb. G.--The Northern Cane Grow
ers' association, with delegates from Illinois,
Indiana Ohio, Missouri, Minnesota and other
States, is in session here, and discussing sub
jects relating to the growth of cane, manufac-
ture of sugar and various interests relating to
this important farming industry. A. M. Nc
kenney, of st. Louis county, presided Temporal
rily, and made brief address. The committee
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,
Missouri, G. r. Miller, Illinois, c. f. Miller.
Minnesota. Geo. w. Gardner, Iowa. A. c.
Goodnow, Kansas, and A. J. RUSSELL Wiscon-
sin, vice presid. nts; j. A. Hodges. st. Louis,
corresponding secretary; Geo. Lingn.an, re-
corGing secretary; L. w. Douglass, treasurer;
Geo. w. Belcher, expert.
Mr.. Belcher, of the Becher sugar refinery,
this city, examined a sample of sugar made by
MIR. Miller, of Minnesota, and pronounced it
/ equal to the best New Orleans sugar, and worth
| in bulk cents per pound.
Prof. Stewart, of Pennsylvania, gave a 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 farmer
can obtain 1000 pounds of sugar per acre from
amber and other canes The papers read and
discussions of them are very interesting and
convey good deal of valuable information
touching this new industry, and the association
has arranged for the publication of the entire
! proceedings of the convention.

He hoped that the chairman OF that committee
would rule upon this us 4 matter of discretion
and patriotism, and prevent the Hood of bust
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 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 tie House.
MIR. Randall, the speaker, said that rule l2O
did not allow any legislation except such as
stould save money to the people. Prior to the
alloy tion of that rule, the rule had been to per-
init extravaganc&S TO be put upon the appro-
priatiou bills, but no amendment i'll the direc-
ton of economy. A Democratic house had
turned right about face in that respect, and
the result had been the saving of b. tween
$50, 200, 900 and $50, 600, 900 u year during the
last three years.
Mr.. Garteld-The right about face that the
speaker refers to is right about face III the
direction of veneering the proposition over with
the pretence of economy by making it neces-
sary to enlarge expenses vastly on account of
new machinery.
Speaker kanuall-1ne rule cOmpclleu IL TO
show economy upon its face.
Mr.. Gartield-It may show economy ON its
face, but not i'll its heart.
Speaker RanGall-Iou had not much heart
for economy that side, and l shall not
charge you with it. but we have the heart and
purpose this side. applause on the Demo-
cratic side.)
Nlr. Garfied-The heart and purpose have
not managed to make themselves shown of late.
(Applause on the Republican side.)
Speaker Randall-A saving of money has
been shown.
MIR. Conger said that he very careful not
to bring up political questions on matters of
legislation, but he would remark that
who was not sustained by confident opinion
that he was the absolute leader of the
House, would have dared to appeal to the chair
man with mere party politics and induce him
to make decision on a question Of order.
The chair overruled the point Of order and
decided the amendment to be in order.
MIR. Page offered substitute an amend
ment authorizing the President to transfer the
care and control or any Indian tribes to the
war department, whenever be shall deem it adj
visable either on account of hostile action
their part against the United States, or in case
of any difficulties arising between them and
settlers.
Mr.. Scales raised the point of order, pending
which the committee and the House ad
journed.

New Ulm Review, Feb. ST.
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
tenin3 to the scene We found Brust & Co.'S ware
mouse, located just below the Eagle mill, on the
banks OF the river, totally enveloped in flames.
Inc 1.re department was promptly On the ground,
but as the whole building one mass of flames
oe1ore the alarm was given, nothing could be done
save 1t, or its contents Fourteen thousand bushels
OF wheat were stored in the warehouse, $4,000 bush
els OF Which belonged to II. Behnke & Bro, and the
remainder was stored there by farmers and
others. There was also considerable oats and corn
III the ldng, all of which is total loss. We ull-
slred: but what amount we did not learn. The
buii.ing was Insured for $3.50. That this is the
heillsh deed Of all incendary no one for a moment
doubts as no fire had been III the Office stove for
number of days, and the fire ginated 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 closed yesterday afternoon
We have not ascertained the liabilities OF the firm
but we understand that they are quite heavy. The
credit system and the continued failure of crops tol
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 II. Behnke & Bro, has committed sui
eide by taking poison. He was discovered about
O'Clock this morning in a in the upper story OF
the store and The body quite cold when
found it is supposed he committed the rash deed
early in the morning. This certainly is sad seauel

countenance of all our citizens.

MIR. Hicks opposed the amendment and then

the evils that result from so much special leo

Abram Werick, a resident of this city, He met
Washburn in Minneapolis in October and asked
him (Washburn) his intention about using his,
influence in favor of Minneapolis, and was as
sured st. Paul would have an equal show. Wit
ness asked Washburn if he knew who his friends
we're in St. Paul, and Washburn replied that be
expected the committee would do something
for him. Witness was at work in the st. Paul

The latter sum was all the money paid witness,
with the exception of $40, which had been
