SANK IN QuIcKSAND.

Peculiar Fate of Norwegian Bark OF
the Coast of Sable Island.
HALIFAX, May ia vessel of $50
tons burden together with the captain,
first mate, steward, carpenter and two
boys were swallowed up by quicksand
on the northeast end of Sable island
Thursday night. The case is almost
without parallel. The vessel was the
Norwegian bark Henry, and she was on
her way from Fonsberg, Norway, in bal
last to Ship Harbor, N. S. The vessel
struck sand bar Thursday morning and
stuck fast. As she did not take any
water the captain and some others de-
cided to remain on board until she could
be f1oated. The second mate boat
swain and four seamen left the boat
Thursday and were taken aboard an
American schooner. Friday morning no
trace of the bark could be seen. She
had been swallowed up by the quick
sands which constitute that portion OF
the bar. Search was made for the six
persons who had remained on the vessel
but they too had disappeared.

THE SUGAR BEET.
Miunssota's Experiment Station Makes
nm Exhaustive Rooort.

Minnssots's Experiment Station Makes
Exhaustive Report.
ST. PAUL, May 14.-The state expert
ment station has just completed the
analysis of some hundreds Of specimens
of sugar beet sent to the station last fall
by the farmers throughout the state,
who had been furnished with the seed
the spring before. It was an experiment,
for it has not been supposed that sugar
beets could be grown in all parts Of the
state. The officers of the station wish
ing to make an experiment which would
give results from all sections, sent out
sugar beet seed a year ago to farmers in
every county in Minnesota. When the
specimens were returned there was not
a county missing, and the directors of
the station have been able to make .
thorough report to the farmers Of the
state.
In some sections of the state sugar
beets can be grown much better than
other, but even in the northern counties
very fair sugar beet can be produced.
The analyses show that beets of profit
able g1a ade can be grown in the south
ern part of the state, south of st. Paul.
The best district seems to be from Nc
Leod county east to the Mississippi
river and down the valley to Winona
and Houston counties. The soil espe-
cially well adapted for such crop. What
is most necessary for good growth is
plenty of rain. There is mistaken
idea among the farmers that beets
raised for sugar should be grown very
large, Beets of about two pounds
in weight give the. best returns,
and 1t Is estimated that twenty tons can
be raised to the acre, which at $40 per
ton will give very good profit. The
beets which contain the greatest per
cent. of sugar weigh eighteen and
twenty ounces. Professor Harper, of
the experiment station, is an enthusiast
on this question. He has been East re-
Gently and has expended about S., 900 in
sugar beet seed. This he has been dis
tributing throughout the state for this
years crop. A large refinery will prob
ably be established at Mankato. This
would enable farmers to find home
market and would insure the success of
the enterprise in the state.

Two Scotch Adventures.

1t has been said that "the Scotch
though undoubtedly patriotic, are never
so much at home as when abroad" Sin
Walter Scott knew his own countrymen
thoroughly well, and one of his best char
acters, the soldier of fortune, Dugald
Dalgetty, he often declared was not a
creation of his own imagination.
There is no government under the sun in
which Scotchmen have not taken service,
and no money making business in which
they are not to be found near the top of the
ladder.
This was well illustrated during the late
war between Turkey and Russia in the
Balkans.
After Plevna the Russian marshal Keith
and the Turkish general Ross Pasha met
to negotiate the preliminaries that finally
led up to peace.
These two soldiers, dressed in resplend-
ent uniforms and surrounded by gorgeous
staff officers, met in a ruined castle that
had been temporarily fitted up for their
use.
They communicated by means of inter-
prefers, and with the cunning and per-
sistency of able men each tried to gain an
advantage over the other.
At length the object of the meeting was
accomplished, and the Turks and Russians
sat down to dinner together, with as much
comradery as if they had not been recently
seeking each others lives.
After dinner Marshal Keith and Ross
Pasha lit their cigars and strolled away
from the hearing of their staffs. After
they had gone some distance, they sat
down side by side on dismantled cannon
and Ross Pasha, speaking in English, and
with an unmistakable Scotch accent, said,
General Keith, if Pm not greatly mis-
taken, you are Scotchman by birth?"
''You are not mistaken at ALL" said
Marshal Keith, "for while l take pride
in the service of my master, the czar of
all the Russias, it must ever be my chief
pride that was born in bonny Scotland.
And Pm kennan, general, that you are no
so much of Turk yersel?"
II am Turk and bra guide ane too,"
responded Ross, $50 long as I am in the
service of his majesty, the sooltan, the
whom, as the true defender of the Prophets
faith, may heaven protect. But I'll con-
fess that my heart yearns betimes to be
back in the auld hame by Kirkaldy. Did
you ever hear o. that place, MANI"
''Kirkaldy?" repeated the Russian.
"Yes; that's the place."

sand who was yer father?"
Donald Keith, the dominic. Who was
your father?'
Andrew Ross, the schoolmaster.
"And yer fathers fogged me many a
time" said the Russian, as he took the
others hand, and added, "and the son has
tried to do the same oot here, but I'll no
agree that he has made so great success
o. it."
"Wecl, ye'll allow he was good master,
for had it no been for his teaching the Rus
slams would no have for their best general

friend, that it's only the memory o. yer
fathers preaching that has KEEP me from
becoming an oot and oot Mohammedan
and starting a harem like the rest o. the
pashas; but when it comes to fighting Pm
with them. All, mon, wish that we had
a glass of guide auld whisky to celebrate

And with this they parted. each believ-
ing that he was doing his best to uphold
the honor of the motherland.

caucus Of some Of the moro prominent
members of that organization was held
to discuss the political situation. Alter
two hours deliberation, the following

only four dissenting votes:
"First. That it is the Sense of this
meeting, in case of nominations for the
Presidency of the United States and for
Congressman who will not favor the free
coinage of silver, and other measures,
such as an immediate reduction Of the
tariff to as low an extent as will be possi-
BILE under present conditions-in that
case it is not to be expected of our people
to support tho Democratic National and
Congressional nominations.
"Second. That it is not considered nee
essary or expedient to organize a'Third
Party County organization until after the
result of the Democratic National nomi-
nation is known.
"Third. That meantime, till the result
of the National Democratic Convention
is known, it is right and proper for our
people to remain and participate as here
tofore in our local Democratic clubs.
"Four.h. That it is the sense of this
meeting that the delegates to be elected
to the State Convention by the County
Convention should be instructed to vote
for no one as a delegate to the National
Democratic Convention, who is opposed
to the Ocala demands"

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 14.-South
Carolina politics is attracting considera-
BILE attention among the South Carolina
colony just. now, and the alarming re-
ports which have been brought here
within the last week by visitors from the
Palmetto State created quite sensation.
1t is rumored that the Alliance men have
determined that if successful in controll-
ing the delegation 10 the Chicago Conren-
ton they will demand that the Ocala
platform or the substance of it be insert
ed in the National Democratic platform
If their request is denied them, so the re-
port goes, they will withdraw from the
Convention and refuse to support tho
nominee. The conservative members OF
the South Carolina contingent hore refuse
to believe that any such step is contem-
plated. The report, however, comes SO
direct that it is the all-absorbiDG topic OF
discussion in political circles.

They Must Disband.

ATLANTA, GA.,. April 14.-Tho State
Executive Committee Of the Georgia
State Alliance met here tonight and pass
ed resolutions of great political import to
the South.
For some time past County Alliances
and sub-Alliances throughout Georgia
have been endorsing the Peoples Party
movement, under direction Of leading
Alliancemen, who arc also third party
leaders. This is in direct conflict with
the Constitution Of the Alliance which
prohibits anything like political action.
The State Executive Committee, recog-
nizing this, met with Congressman Liv-
ingston, president of tho Alliance, and
unanimously passed q resolution demand
ing that all Alliances which have taken
such action rescind it promptly or Sur
render their charters.
