BEET SUGAR.
Senator Manderson Says Nebraska Will Rival
California in Production.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. An interview
with Senator Henderson furnishes the
particulars concerning the extent to which
Nebraska hopes to rival California in the
production of beet sugar. Henderson says
that Nebraska sugar beets produce about 10
per cent by saccharine matter, as against 10
per cent of the German article. Three
thousand acres are now under cultivation
for use in the Grand Island Sugar Factory.
This, in spite of the drought, will yield fif-
teen tons of beets to the acre. ~ think
that there is every prospect that within a
few years beet sugar enough will be pro-
duced in the United States 10 supply the en-
tire demand for home consumption" Man.
derson also calls attention to the fact that
our sngar importatons from Germany have
increased three-fold within the last fiscal
year. During the year ended June 3, 1889,
we imported 200,000.000 pounds from the
German Empire. During The last fiscal year
the importations from the same source ex-
ceeded O0,000, COO pounds. He says that he
introduced his amendment yesterday in re-
sponse to suggestions by Nebraska beet
sugar men, who stated the change would
give them the little protection they asked
in better torn than that proposed by the
original Aldrich amendment to the McKin-
lev bill,

The Iuterest on Ci,v Funds.

CHICAGO. Sept "a bill was filled in
the Circuit Court this morning on behalf of
the city of Chicago against City Treasurer
Roesing and several banks for accounting Of
interest on the city's money placed in the
banks by Roesing, This is opening up an
old question which the City Attorney
wishes to settles definitely. For years it
has been the custom of the City Treasurers
to deposit the city funds in banks and to re-
tain the interest received thereon rs per
Sonal perquisites. This made the office
very desirable one, as the interest has for
dozen of years past amounted to between
$4,000 and $4,000 per year. The bill filed
to-day charges that deposits were made by
Roesing under an agreement with the banks
by which he was to derive pecuniary profit
for himself, presumably in the same man
ner as that mentioned above.
