The Beet Sugar Industry.

4 couple Of months ago ex-GOv. War
moth. OF Louisiana, and 7. L. Spencer,
ESQ. Of the Bureau of Agriculture, went
70 Germany for the purpose of investi-
eating the process Of making beet sugar,
and 70 discover il the beet sugar industry
could be made profitable in this country;
also. whether the diffusion method en-
plOyed for extracting the sugar from
beets could be successfully applied to SUI
gar cane. They returned TO this country
on last Sunday.
Gov. Warmoth said that the German
Government, and also the French Govern
men.. had subsidized the manufacture Of
beet sugar up 10 point where it does not
pay the cost Of production. The price OF
beet sugar in London is about 81 80 a
hundred-weight, while the cost Of pro-
ducing it in Germany is S. a hundred
weight. But sugar is much cheaper in
England than in Germany, the place Of
production. The cause Of this is that the
subsidy which the government gives is
in the form Of a rebate Of the sugar tax
on all sugar that is exported. The ten
dency is to cause the greater part Of the
sugar 10 be exported. OF course the beet
sugar industry cannot prosper under pre-
sent conditions. Either there must be an
improvement in the :rice Of sugar or
there must be great reduction in the
cost of production.
Messrs. WarmOth and Spencer satisfied
themselves about one thing. 1t is that
the system of diffusion can be applied 10
sugar cane. The cane, however, viii have
to be cut into slices instead Of being
ground. BY the present method of treat
ing sugar cane a very large per cent. OF
the sugar is lost. By the system Of difu-
sion no part Of the saecharine matter will
be lost. Experiments with the diffusion
system are to be made at once on Gov.
Warmoth's plantation by the Agricultu-
RAJ Bureau.

A Gay Winter at the Capital Looked
FOr-The Presidents Receptions.


Although the vacation season about to
close has been one OF unusual dizziness,
saws a Washington special, there is every
prospect of its being succeeded by un-
usual animation in society. So almost
entirely is Washington IN every respect
dependent on the government that doings
IN official quarters are felt in every fibre,
With the return Of the President and
members of the Cabinet the flow of stran-
gers from motives of business and curiOs-
ity will begin, and evidences of the flush
seas IN when Congress is in session mani
fest themselves. 1t being Presidential
year there is hesitation in certain respects
about the future. But under any circum-
stances a gay winter is expected. A new
administration of whatever kind always
brings new faces and lets in tide which
Washington knows well how 10 profit by.
The flow of capitalists and people OF
leisure and fashion into Washington con-
tinues. 1t is from every part of the cOun-
try, though less from the South than other
quarters. Of late the ranks of literary
people have received accessions, and it is
even now safe to say that the capital of
the nation is to be the home Of authors
and scientists.

President Arthur's last, he intends shall be

Rnther E.nc.-nraoino.

Mr.. J. A. Wood, Of New York, arrived
here yesterday en- route for ThOmasville,
where he is supervising the construction
Of a rew hotel. Mr. Wood is the gentle
man who, early in the conception Of the
hotel project. interested himself in the eu-
terprise. Previous to the beginning
Of the financial difficulties which
still affect business throughout the coun-
Try, 3Ir. Wood had plan partly matured
for securing sufficient amount of capl-
tai 10 erect a suitable hotel in this city,
but the arrangement Of money matters in
the North and other reasons caused him
% drop the matter, at least for
a time. The recent discussion Of the
hotel question in the MORNING News
brought it again to ais immediate atten-
tiOu, and he determined 10 make another
effort to accomplish his purpose. Mr..
Wood Yesterday had a consultation with
several gentlemen interested in the hotel
enterprise. and secured all the necessary
information concerning the barracks
property and also all facts in regard to
city taxes, rentals, etc. This data he will
present 10 one Ormore capitalists who have
heretofore entrusted him with investments
in New York. and he thinks there will be
but little difficulty in securing an amount
sufficient TO erect a magnificent hotel on
the most improved plan, provided the
owners Of the barracks property
viii lease it at low
rental. Mr.. Wood is very enthusi-
astic on the subject and says he is anxious
10 give Savannah a hotel such as no city
snnth Of New York can boast Of.

blaine and the StaIwarts.

Il is claimed that there are more than
5000 Republicans in New York State who
viii not vote for Blaine because they
think that he is not fit TO be President.
There is no way to determine before the
election whether or not this claim is well
founded. Il Is certain that the disafec-
ton Is very great.
But whether there are 10000 Republi-
cans in New York OF not who viii vote
against Blaine on account Of his charac-
ter. there IS no question that the stalwart
element Of the party is bitterly hostile 10
him. The stllwarts have not expressed
themselves freely since the campaign
began. Ii they intend to vote against
Blaine 1t Is probable that they VIII not
make known their purpose before the day
1t election. The half breed faction, which
deserted Fclger in 1852, did not say a
word with regard TO their intention prior
70 the election. They allowed the country
% have a surprise the day after the
election, and the majority OF nearly 200,-
U10 which Cleveland received was a
surprise.
Blaine contributed to Folger's defeat.
He advised the Republicans of New York
20 allow the GubeTnatorial election to 60
los default and to bend all their energies
% the work Of securing Republican Con-
.ressmen. The stalwarts, whose candi-
date Folger was. remember this advice
Of Blaine. and it would not be surprising
if they should let him severely alone next
month and give their attention wholly to
the election Of Congressman. 1t would be
but simple justice for the stalwarts TO give
Blaine the same sort Of treatment which
the half-breeds, by Blaine's advice, ac-
corded 10 Folger.
But viii the stalwarts seek to revenge
themselves by Withholding their votes
from hims If they do Blaine has no
chance Of being elected worth consider
Ing. II the stalwarts are against him
Cleveland viii carry New York by an
overwhelming majority.
4 committee Of stalwarts has addressed
an open letter to the stalwarts Of the
State in which all the facts Of Blaine's
crusade against Folger in 1882 are set
forth and vigorously commented upon.
The document is bound 10 have its effect.
Neither Conkling nor Grant will under
take TO call out the Republican vote for
Blaine in New York, as they did IN 1850.
In the estimation of many COnkling and
Grant saved Garfield from defeat. Meth
er of them seems anxious to save Blaine
from defeat.

Yester,inr.s ELECTIONS.

The elections yesterday were iaVoraole
70 the Republicans. A very large vote
was polled both in Ohio and West VIZ
ginia.
In Ohio the vote Of yesterday, in the
dispatches. is compared with the vote
cast in 1850 and in ISIS. In $50 the he
publican majority for Secretary Of State
was 1905. In ISIS the Democratic
majority for Governor over the Republi-
cans was I2.5se. and over the Republicans
snf Pr1hibitiouists combined 4.167.
The Republican vote yesterday showed
a light falling of as compared with the
Republican vote OF ISS0. and very
marked gain as compared with the Demo
cratic vote Of ISIS.
The Republicans in yesterdays election
claim a majority Of 1900. The returns
received az this writing seem 70 Justify
that claim They also claim
n nave gained two COugressmen-
ButterwOrth in the First district and
Brown in the second district. In the
present Congress the delegation stands L
Democrats and 9 Republicans. II But
terworth and Brown are elected the Re
rubGcans VIII have a majority Of the
delegation in the next Congress.
At this writing the indications are that
the Democrats have carried West Vir-
ziniz by small majority. In 1850 the
Democratic majority over Republicans
and Greenbackers was 2.069, and in lSS2
10 was 3.311. II is probable that the ma
jority yesterday was not so large as that
Of 1SS1.
Unless the Republican majority in Ohio
is considerably beyond 1900 the elections
yesterday will not have an appreciate
effect on the national contest. The Demo
Gratis hoped to carry the State.
but they rather expected that
it would give Republican
majority. Indeed. the Democratic man
\ ayers have said all along that if it did not
give a Republican majority Of more than
/ 1900 they wouldn't have the leas,
/ doubt about Democratic vic.
tory in November. II has given
Republican majority at the
October election every Presidential year
since the Republican party was or
ganized. The contest win now be fOi
I New York, and the Democrats are certain
! u carrying that state. With that STATE
! Cleveland will have enough States I,

A DUEL WITH JACKNIvEs.
Terrific Fight Between Two Brother
Which Ended in Murder.


Which Ended in Murder.
NORWICH. Oct. IA mile northwest
Of the pleasant country village Of West
Ashford, in Windham county, at lonely
crossroads, is a big, old fashioned farm
house, that was the scene last W ednesday
of terrible fight between brothers that
ended in a murder. George Squires owns
and lives on the farm, and his father,
Bradley Squires, lived with him. A broth
er, Joseph, has been visiting at the home
stead for several weeks. On Wednesday
there was a buckwheat thrashing bee in
the old barn, and Andrew squares,
another brother. was present. TO
make the fails swing easier
three quarts of whisky had been provided
for the party, and in the afternoon all
were under its influence. NoisIly the
brothers talked over wagon trades, at 1rst
in good humOr, but finally Andrew and
Joseph quarreled, and tie latter knocked
his brother down with his fist. Andrew
at once sprang to his feet. and drawing
his big jackniie, popular weapon among
Connecticut farmers, saVagely aiIacheu
Joseph, cutting and slashing at his nead.
In an instant JOseph's knife was out, ana
a regular duel ensued that lasted LOT
several minutes, and sprinKled the oarn

skilled in handling the stout, bone

backward and forward the men
pressed each other. deity aiming
and warding of murderOus thrusts. Be
fore the fight terminated Joseph, who was
overmatched, received three gaping
wounds in the breast. one in the shoulder,
another across the arm, several In the
back of the head, and a long, fatal cut
that extended from back of the ear across
the jugular vein. In his death agony he
struggled out of the barn door in an EFFORT
to get away from the murderer, out An
drew, with one arm around his victims
body, repeatedly plunged the knlte INTO
his brothers head as be was dragged
along. 1t was not until George Squlres
pulled Andrew off his brothers BODY oy
main strength that Andrew ceased his
blows. Joseph died about O'CLOCK
the same evening. Andrew and his
father escaped with the farm team, drlY-
ing rapidly away. No attention was
given to the wounded man until Select
man Alfred Walker called at the house,
and then he was dying. He was about 40
years of age. Next day Andrew Squires
was arrested at his farm, few miles
away. He was taken before Justice OF
the Peace, and the case adjourned to
Saturday at 10 O'Clock. A COrOnerss in
quest was held then at Squires' barn,
where the murder was perpetrated, and
Andrew was committed for trial before
the Superior Court on the charge OF
murder.
