VICE PRESIDENT WEBB SURE

dcrly Arrives and VIII Confer
with Isatlroai Authorities.

| New YoRx, August 15.-The state
ment OF the New York Central and Hud
son River Railroad Company issued las
night by Third Vice President Webb
defining their position 10 regard to tl.,
reinstatement Of the strikers, was reat
with interest by tho employees Of tn,
road this morning. They seem to thinl
that the statement IL rather indefinite
and that tho company, while adherinp
to 1t in a nominal way, will take on the
old employees as quickly as they make
application for work. This, however, Is
not the professed opinion Of Mr.. Webb,
who says that the declaration will be
followed out by the company, both in
spirit and letter. -'G"'
Few OF the strikers were around thia
morning and these were uncomlnuuica-
tive. The expected visit of the mem.
bers OF the General Executive Board OF
the knights Of Labor to Vice President
Webb was talked over and the conclu.
sion arrived at was that compromise
would be effected, whereby tho strikers
could return with the sacrifice OF as little
dignity rs possible. )
THE ROAD IN GOOD SHAPE,
General Superintendent Voorhees,
would not say anything about the prob.
able visit OF Mr.. Powderly to the off.
ciats. 1T will be time enough to talk
about Mr.. Powderly when we have seen
him. he said. II do not know the pur.
pose OF his intended visit and have no
idea OF what proposals he intends TO
make. Perhaps he may not come here
at all. l don't thiuk there is much
talking required. They all know what
the company is going TO do iu reference
to the strikers. We dou't need many
more men now. The freight yard at
Slxty-htth street is all right again. We
will run the last ofthe old freight out to-
day, and by tomorrow We will be in the
same condition We were before the strike
took place. The passenger service ia
fully established and Just as many trains
are running as there would have been
had the strike never taken place."

THE SUGAR BEET.
An Experiment Station Bulletin on It's Sue
CeSSful Cultivation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-An experiment
station bulletin on beet sugar issued by the
Agricultural Department says: 1.-THE vari-
Gus processes for the extraction of sugar
from beets, the best methods of clarifying
the juice and evaporating it, and for sepa-
rating sugar from molasseS are thoroughly
well understood, and are no longer legit-
mate subjects for public experiment The
great pro blem in this country is the agricul-
tur al one-the selection of suitable soil, the
finding of proper climatic conditions and
instruction in the method Of planting, cul-
tlvating and harvesting beets are all matters
of vital Importance.
" Without careful study of these sub
jects and without proper knowledge
thereof it will be a hopeless task to success
fully Introduce the beet-sugar industry into
this country. One Of the great dangers to
be avoided is the formation of hasty conc1u-
sions in regard to proper localities for the
production of the sugar beet. IL has been
found in general that the coast valley of
California and probably large area near
the coast In Oregon and Washington, GER
tain parts OF the Dakotas and Nebraska,
localities IN Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin
and Michigan, and parts of Northern Hi
Dois, Indiana, Ohio ana New York present
favorable conditions for sugar-beet culture.
But in the localities thus broadly intimated
there are certain restricted areas most suit
able 10 the sugar Deet, and 1t is only these
restricted areas to which we must look Ior
success.
The fact that in one locality for instance
in Nebraska, good sugar beets can be pro-
duced would be no warrant whatever for as
Stunning that all parts of the State were
equally suitable for this purpose, and this
remark may be applied to every one of the
States mentioned above. If the Sugar-beet
industry is to succeed in this country this
success must come from sharp competition
with the same industry in older countries,
where its conditions are better understood
and where the localities have been selected
by long and often costly experience. 1t
must alsof compete with the sugar-cane in
dustry, both of this country and Of ;he
tropical countries, and for this reason we
can only expect it to survive in those locali-
ties where the soil and climatic conditions,
proxi nifty OF fuel, cheapness of labor and
other ia vorable environments are found.
