WORK OF THE TARIFF LAW.

Sugar RefinerIes suspending Operation
Until the Law Goes Into Ehcct--1Thous-
aasIs of wOrkmen Effected.
NEW YORK, Oct. 25.--1he Brooklyn
sugar refinery has closed down and 40
men are thrown out of employment. It
is rumored that with the single exeep-
tion of Havemeyer's refinery all the
Brooklyn refineries win be closed down.
About 1000 men win be affected. A
director Of the Brooklyn sugar refining
company says his works viii remain
closed until April 4, when raw sugar
will be admitted free. A mass-meeting
of the workingmen viii be held at
which the men are expected to pledge
themselves 70 work against the Repub-
lican administration which endorsed

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. "a. The Evening
Journal contains long interview with
Senator w. ID. Washburn on the beet
sugar industry. Mr.. Washburn has
taken great interest in the matter of
beet culture and has just come from an
inspection of the great oxnard factory
at Grand Island, Neb.
II am more than ever convinced, '
said the senator, @that the success Of
this industry is established beyond any
posaible question. The prospects are re-
markably bright. There is no question
In the world but that the manufacture
Of sugar from beets in this country has
been established for all time.
Capital win he Forthcoming.
Mr.. Oxnard, who is one of the largest
refners in the country, told me that he
had no doubt whatever but that plenty
of capital would be forthcoming 10 intro
duce the manufacture into then Northwest.
The beet sugar belt, as 1t 10 called, takes
in the greater part of Minnesota, the
two DaSotas and portions of Iowa and
Nebraska. In this belt beets suitable
for sugar manufacture can be grown
successfully, and the analyses show that
while in Austria or Germany the beets
only yield IL to IA per cent Of sacoharine
matter, here the yield In from IA TO l6
per cent. The factory at Grand Island
Is now turning out 10000 pounds Of the
finest grade OF white sugar per day, us
ing $50 tons of beets.
tt Pays the Farmer.
The time has come, said the senator,
with much earnestness, when there
must be change. We cannot depend
upon wheat alone in Minnesota. We
must learn not TO carry all our eggs in
one basket. The farmers find this en-
terprise very profitable. At Grand
Island, for instance, they pay the farm.
erS 81 per ton for beets that contain Il
per cent of saccharine matter. Then
they pay 25 cents for each additional
per cent, $3.50 for IA, $3.75 for 10, 3.
FOR 10. A low average for beets Is ID
tons per acre
Asked as to the probability OF the
establishment Of factories in Minnesota
in the near future the senator said that
while he could not say positively he
thought there would be at least two
manufacturing plants in the state by
the close Of another season.

LONDON, Oct. a5.--The correspondent

agony causes no anguish, and the wind

uneven play gives chances, she has iine

MEANING OF LOUISIANA FLOOD,
Devastating Effects of an Overflow of the
Mississippi.

The heart-rending and tremendously
tragic scenes of flood in a mountain
gorge are wholly lacking in a Louisiana
flood. When great levee breaks in
our lowlands there is terrible rush of
waters at the immediate scene of the
crevasse, but at a short distance from
the locality the scenes are entirely diff
ferent.
The water does not 90 roaring and
raging through a narrow valley, sweep
ing everything before it, The yellow
flood pouring through the gap, often
enlarged to the width of miles, simply
spreads over the flat country, filling the
vast shallow basin that it really pre-
sents. Day after day the turbid waters
climb up around and into the dwell
ings the stables, the stock-yards the
sugar-houses, the cotton-sheds and GIN
houses, while the pastures and cultivated
fields are covered The submersion
goes on until the country is inundated
from four to twelve feet deep over
vast areas. The people retire to their
upper rooms, unless, as is often the
case with the smaller dwellings, their
habitations are floated away. The
domestic animals encompassed by sea
of waters perish by thousands from
exhaustion or starvation. The muddy
water deposits its silt in the houses and
upon the growing crops covering
everything in its reach with a Shiny
mud. The country roads are extin-
guished, the bridges float away, the
railways are disabled. and boats alone
afford a means Of communication with
the population beleagured by the inun-
dation.
Many people are drowned under
these unusual circumstances; many
more sicken, and not few die from
the exposure and privations which they
undergo, while the suffering for pro-
visions is often SO great that the desti-
tute people over vast areas of sub
merged country are dependent on
charity. The flooded region is often
twenty to fifty miles wide and hun
dred miles Iong, and in all those limits
there is scarcely a spot of dry ground.
Such Il state of things may last one or
two months before the waters subside:
and then dry land fit to stand on;much
less to pillow, is slow in making its APP
pearance.
Such is flood in Louisiana. If it
has not the overwhelmingly terrible
and instantaneous cataclysmic features
of Johnstown tragedy, it is suffi-
GENTLY deadly and dreadful. Let it not
be considered lightly.-Nea0 Orleans
Picdyat11c.
