Much Warmer.

BrsMAHcx, Jan. 11.--[SpeciaI. 1-1'o-mor-
row noon the senate and house Of represent
atives will vote for United States senator
and determine whether Pierce succesds
himself or some other man shall be elected
to ill his shoes. The situation seems quite
~ badly muddled as il was in the earliest
stage Of the campaign. All the candidates,
and there are at least half dozen avatia-
BILE men among them whose candidacy dare
not be frowned at, a.bracing themselves
for the struggle on the morrow. Senator
Pierce yet leads in the race, with Hans
brough and Miller following close behind
with an almost equal number OF votes. Nc
Cormack has the full democratic strength
Of twenty-seven. Besides. there are Walter
Muir, president Of the farmers alliance,
Mayor Ball. of Fargo, and Col. Lounsberry.
the veteran journalist. The farmers, should
they feel inclined, could easily elect
representative granger for senator, but
Muir is considered practically ont Of IT.
The Pierce republicans have vainiy en-
deavored all day to hold caucus. The
opposing forces do not want a caucus just
now. and it is clearly seen that there IL q
disposition on all sides to decline to show
their hand until the proper moment arrives.
The field is against Pierce and combine
ton would defeat him, though his sup
porters are confident of his ultimate victo-
ry. A conservative view places the matter
in this light. The rumors OF Doodle being
dispensed in the contest has brought SEA-
eral detectives here who are quietly work
ing no the case and it is said they have al
ready brought enough facts to light to
lodge the alleged boodlers behind the
bars. The fight Is attracting people from
all parts of the state. A special train will
arrive from Fargo to morrow with big
load of visitors.
Rumors were freely circulated tonight
that Gov. Miller had Withdrawn from tho
race in favor of Pierce or Hansbrough: that
he was considering which one of the two
should have his support. When seen to-
night Miller denied the charge and says he

are as good as those of the other candi-
dates. Pierce 10 in an amiable frame Of
mind, confident that the balloting will
sooner or later declare him his own sue

gives prominence to an interview with a
high Portuguese official on the relations be-
tween Portugal and England. The official
expr ,sses himself hopeful that an amicable
understanding will be reached on all points
ir dispute. Such an understanding, he
said, would have a most salntary effect on
the domestic politics of Portugal. Itwould
put an end to all talk of Iberian fedora
tion for offensive and defensive purposes
and make impossible a double revolution
in Spain and Portugal, which enthusiastic
republicans have been talking of. The
Journal attaches much weight to the opin-
ion expressed and thinks they will probably
be verified by the results.

Mtlnous OF the Flashing Insects Go
Through II Pennsylvania Village.
This town was one night recently
treated to most remarkable and beau
tlful spectacle, says Dunbar (Pa.)
correspondent OF the Philadelphia
Times. Shortly after dusk the people
were surprised and puzzled to behold
what appeared to be a cloud of light
come sweeping up from the woods w.
ing back of the town, but on it's reach
ing the streets it was seen that the
light was occasioned by an immense
swarm of fireflies. This swarm, mum
bcring millions, dispersed itself through
the village, Illuminating everything
with light more golden than that of
day and warmer than the moons cold
beams.
People recognized each other without
difficulty and the print of a newspaper
was to be read with ease. The houses.
were filled with the darting, flashing
insects, which seemed to. be panic
stricken from some mysterious cause.
Lamps, Were extinguished by the
swarms and carpets ruined by them as
they were crushed by the foot, while
delicate plants and flower beds were
destroyed by the weight of the cluster
ing flies. '''..' 7'''''' E"'.'.a- \,
1t took several hours for the swarm
to pass through the town, but it slowly
disappeared in the direction Of the riT-
er, lighting tho fields US it went, alarm
ing the country people asst approached,
and arousing the cattle and poultry,
which seemed to mistake it for dawn.
Nothing being seen of it next day and
no report of it being seen elsewhere
having been received, it is believed THAT
it gradually dispersed itself over she
marshes. Where the insects came from
is also matter of conjecture, as we'll
as the reason for the sudden invasion.
On the moraing after their visit they
were found in drifts under the, hedges
and fences and against the sides of the
houses, while quantities of provisions
left exposed were destroyed by their
presence.

A proposition has been made by a promi-
nent capitalist of Chicago, who has large bust
ness interests in Stanton. 10 the farmers OF
Augusta, which, if accepted. Will to an ex-
pertinent that will be watched with very
great interest by the people of the whole
State. Mr.. 0. X. Lapham the gentlemen re-
ferred TO- announces that he will establish in
Stanton a beet sugar factory provided that
he Is supplied by the Augusta farmers with
a sufficient quantity of beets with which to
begin and continue operations.
At least !, 500 acres of beets must be plant
ed annually to insure the quantity that Will
be needed hereafter during the course Of
every twelve months The supply, however.
must be regular. and Dir. Lapham is unwiil-
ing TO inaueurate SO expensive a scheme
without guarantee that he will be pro
tected from the fatal consequence Of a beet
famine.
Mr. Lnpham estimates that it will cost not
less than 900 600 10 add the necessary appli-
ances for sugar making TO large factory
which he has already standing in Stanton.
and which has hitherto been devoted exclu-
slvely to other purposes Under ordinary
circumstances to erect a sugar-making estab-
lishment would entail an outlay of S15O.0O0
Mr. Lapham. however is 40 situated that he
can begin this new industry on very large
scale at a comparatively small cost. and the
opportunity which he offers is, therefore ex
ceptionAl. and ono which may not again be
presented.
1t would be q very severe reflection u3on
the farmers of Augusta if they should permit
this opportunity TO pass without utilizing il
for the good. not only OF their own county.
but of the whole State whose interests are also
directly involved.
THE TINES has never failed to countenance
every legitimate and practical scheme that
has tendency 10 diversity the agricultural
interests of Virginia, believing as we do that
in this divers;hcation lies the only sound and
permanent basis Of agricultural prosperity.
The scheme which Mr. Lapham proposes 10
inaugurate al his own risk if he meets with
the necessary de rec OF cooperation. S ex-
actly cOnsonant tn whit the agricultural
welfare OF the Commonwealth demands.
There seems to oe excellent grounl- for
anticipating tat THIS scheme ii started uudor
favorable auspices would b. successful. Sir
Lapham coud soon test the posi- 4lity of
ma ufacturng sugar in this state as ,heaply
as Il is eng done in kansas and Nebraska
where there are now number OF factories en-
gagged in making sugar from beets
The consumption of sugar is rapidly in
creasing in every part of the globe. The
annual proportion for each inhabitant of the
United States alone is fifty-fve pounds. OF
the worlds production Of sugar in 1881. three
fiths, or $500, 900 tons. was manufactured
from beets. In 1860 the proportion was only
$4,000 tons. The annual imports of sugar
into the United States now aggregate /, 500. 900
tons
1t will be seen from these figures that there
Is ample encouragement in the amount Of
beet sugar consumed in this country for tbe
establishment Of additional factories in the
United States
