Washington special Clio C Democrat.
Information has :een received that Collector
Charles F. wenneker OF 81. Louis will shortly
tender his resignation. Ths tion will be
wholly voluntary on the part Of Mr.. Wen
neker. His resignation has not been called
for. II is learned at the treasury department
that there Is no disposition to disturb him un-
I'll his time is up. Some weeks ago Senator
Vest filed charges against the collie, tor The
basis OF these charges was III, alleSel col
lection OF political assessments under
the CIfse OF tariff debating club.
The same charges were made a:ains; MI. Wen
neker last year. At that time the case went
lefore President Harrison and he declined 70
remove. The present administration has
reached n similar determination. The con-
clusion OF Mr.. Harrison was that the evidence
did not show Ar wenneker had knowledge OF
the acts Of his subOrdinates. Secretary Carlisle
deems il unwise TO 20 behind that conclHs ion
and to reinvestigate the case. Therefore the
decision is to leave Mr. Wenneker alone. No
time IL given rs to when the resignation will be
offered or when 1t will take effect. hut the i'm.
preston Is strong that 1t will he sent in soon.

SUGAR FACTORY,

Aberdeen, S. d., Nov 4.-Thc sugar
men of the East have not lost sight of the
adaptabilty of this country to their pet
industry. The following letter from
Henry f. Clifford. chairman of the
United Sugar Syndicate Of New York,
to $. w. Narrcgang. says: Capital is
ready TO build central sugar factory in
your state, but those | represent are not
willing to take any steps until the supply
Of raw material is assured. The growing
of a few acres of bcets will settle the
question. If you can get 200 farmers to
plant one acre each next spring. and cul-
tivate the land as directed. feel that the
result will settle all doubts in their minds
of capital. We are engaged in pushing
the sugar matter and are giving seven
teen pounds Of seed free to every farmer
who will grow one acre. also keeping him
posted as to how the crop should be
treated. If you can get twenty farmers
in Brown county to do this, YOU will go
long way coward settling the question
of central factory.'
