Owing to the Scarcity of sofa Ash They VIII
Be Forced 10 shut nown.
CHICAGO, ILL, March %. "A morning
paper says: Trouble is brewing among
the glass manufacturers of the country =,
and, unless speedy relief arrives, their
number will be considerably diminished.
Soda ash, or, rather. its absence, is the
cause of the trouble; and, notwith-
standing the demand for glassware Is as
great as ever konwn, many manufactu-
rers will shortly be compelled to shut
down their mills. The supply of soda
ash is practically shut of by the strike
among the dock laborers at Liverpool.
More than 80 per cent. of the soda ash
used in this country is received from Liv-
erpOol, and as a large portion of the
supply is used for other purposes, glass
manufacturers find 1t hard to meet their
orders, and it is said that within two
weeks half the glass manufactures in the
country will be closed.

provement is not good, and many assert
that after paying expenses they cannot
realize from their farms sufficient to pay

the Next Six Days

WASHINGTON. Dec. li.-What will take
place in the senate this week will largely
depend upon the republican caucus to-
morrow or Tuesday. Tomorrow will be
the twelfth day Of the pending OF the
elections bill, and the probabilities are
that unless the caucus decides to take a
decided step towards speedy termina-
ton, the pressure for financial legislation
will become too great to be resisted.
In the house the.reapportionment bill will
be called up Tuesday. There is no con-
certed opposition on the part Of the demo
Gratis, and the fight which, at the Begin
ming of the session was generally predict
ed, will not come of.
Cutcheon proposes to call up the army
appropriation bill the first opportunity.
The friends of the shipping bill have
been assured of the friendly disposition
on the part OF the rules committee to-
wards their measure. and IL is possible the
reapportionment bill may he disposed Of

AGAINST PINKsToN.
They are Telling Queer Tales About His
Capture Of Krouse.

BUTTE, Dec. li.-For some reason ef-
forts are being made by several persons
10 create a prejudice against Mr. Pink
sIon, who captured one krouse few
nights ago, after the latter had entered
the house Of Officer Wilson, No. 523 East
Mercury street. They say that Krouse
was drunk al the time and not responsible
for his acts AT any time, being demented.
Mrs. Wilson, who was alone in the house
and who called Alr. Pinkston TO her as
sistance. declares that for drunken
man, and one who at best is not of sound
sense, Krouse acted very shrewdly
and tried 10 make as little noise
as possible while ascending the steps
To get into the house. He assembled i've
steps leading To the front door, and after
vainly trying TO open the door and then a
window, he descended the steps and de-
liberately walked around the house and
10 the back door, which Mrs. Nelson left
unlocked when she went To summon Mr..
Pinkston.
Krouse could not have been SO very
drunk, Mrs. Wilson declares, or lie could
not have walked from room To room, car
rying lighted lamp as he did, after ef-
fecting an entrance. The fact that he
sprung the front door while trying TO
force IL open leaves the story ~ his de-
cidedly drunken condition open To some
doubt.
In trying TO injure Mr.. Pinkston the
statement is made that he struck krouse
with a revolver or some similar weapon.
This both Mrs. Wilson and MIR. Pink
ston deny. The weapon used was a
piece Of hardwood broom handle. Mr..
Pinkston had no pistol in his house when
Mrs. Wilson called, the only revolver he
owns being used by his brother, who is
night watchman AT the foundry in Park
street. Concedlng even he had used
revolver, MIR. Pinkston says he
would have felt justified 10 use
il as a club under the circum-
stances, for he did not know who Krouse
was nor whether he was armed or not.
A lady called upon him for assistance,
and seeing man, whom he had every
reason 10 believes burglar, prowling about
her house al the dead hour Of night, he
had no time for questioning, but was COM
PEELED 10 act quickly and decisiyely. This
he did and is not sorry for il; on the con-
trary he would doa like thing again under
like circumstances.

SORGHUM SUGAR.
Discovery of a Process which win Aid
In It's Manufacture.

WASHINGTON, Dec. li.-The annual re-
port of the chief Of the chemical division
Of the agricultural department contains
an account Of the process recently per
fected at the department as a result OF ex'
periments in the chemical laboratory with
reference TO the manufacture of sorghum
sugar. The report Of the chemist recites
some Of the various difficulties hitherto
found in the economic manufacture OF
sugar from sorghum, and indicates a So
luton Of the question is TO be found In
some process which would separate as
nearly as possible the gummy aeor.
phus bodies from the juice with
out precipitation IN the sugar,
The known property of alcohol
10 produce precipitation in the juice was
made use OF in the further study OF this
problem. Not only has the removal OF
the gums been effected by the process in'
volyed during these experiments, but =
has been shown that this can be effected
at q cost comparatively trifiing by COM
parison with the results obtained.
The article used in the precipitation
can be almost wholly recovered by subse-
quent distillation.
Another feature is that the gummy sub
stance separated by the process is itself
fermentable, yielding almost half OF lis
weight in alcohol. In order that the new
method may become possible, the report
suggests the necessity for modification
OF the revenue laws Of 1890 so as TO allow
the preparation of alcohol used in the
process 10 be carried on without a tax
and TO be made under bond by the man
ufacturer shat II will be used only for this
purpose.
The chemist claims there is substantial
ly an increase in the yield o. sugar per
thousand gallons Of juice from an average
Of about 10000 pounds to an average over
2l,991, at an increase of cost Of production
of Ss3i for alcohol which enters into the
new process.
