German Beet Sugar Industry Handi
capped by American Tax.

German Beet Sugar Industry Handi-
capped by American Tax.
In special report to the State Depart
ment upon the production of German beet
root sugar United States Consul Muth,
ut Magdeburg, presents some facts which
explain in a measure the persistence OF
the German Government In trying to Sc
cure the removal of our discriminating
duty upon sugar. The report shows that
even this small duty Of one-tenth Of a
cent per pound means great deal to the
Germans, for the prosperity OF vast inter-
ests depends upon considerable extern
sion of their sugar market In foreign
countries, and SO narrow 10 the margin
between profit and loss, owing to overpro-
duction and foreign competition. that this
cannot be achieved under the slightest
handicap in duties or charges. Consul
Muth says that the German beet sugar
industry IL passing through a serious
crisis. There has been great increase IN
production, from 24,5O0,000 hundred
weight in 1S92-93 to 27,500,O00 in 1893
o.. This year the crop will reach 10000
600 hundredweight. In consequence
prices have been falling below the cost of
production. In 1S93-94 raw sugar sold
at II 25-100 marks per hundredweight,
and the actual cost of production found
the balances on the wrong side, but the
present season will witness greater loss.

INDIAN WAR PENSIONERS.
House Asked to Include All Survivors
of Recognized Wars.

House Asked to Include All Survivors
of Recognized Wars.
The status Of pensioners of Indian wars
is discussed in report made by Repre-
sentative Tawney, of Minnesota, upon the
bill introduced by Representative Her.
mann, of Oregon, and favorably reported
from the Committee on Pensions. Its
purpose is to enlarge the scope of the act
granting service pensions to survivors of
the wars of 1882 to 1912 so that it will
include the veterans of all recognized In
dian wars up to 1856 In many regiments
serving in these wars the rolls contain
repetitions caused by re-enlistments in
different companies, and this, it is esti-
mated, will reduce the number of benei-
Charles at least 700 making the total num-
Der of the survivors of these wars about
1000. Most of these survivors are in
needy circumstances, while all are in old
age, and, as estimated by the commits
sioner of pensions, the average pension
able period cannot extend beyond about
seven years. Many of these aged men
were omitted from the act pensioning sur
vivors of Indian wars between 1882 and
1912, and for this reason this present bill
is more just, since it includes all the sur
vivors of the recognized Indian wars
prior TO 1906. / s,;.e,,, ar

DEATH TO THOUSANDS.
Terrible Explosion of Magazine In

Terrible Explosion of a Magazine In
a Formosa Fort.
The information that has come to Hong
Kong from the Island of Formosa since
the sudden departure on the 18th inst. of
the British cruiser Mercury, upon the re-
ceipt of information that the notorious
robbers, known as Black Flags, were
committing outrages and the British resi-
dents were in need of urgent help, has
been meager, but what has been received
shows that the situation is as serious as
the first dispatches indicated. Reports
have arrived that the disturbances on the
island are increasing and have become
so bad that the merchants are alarmed
and are leaving. 1t is also reported there
that an explosion which recently occurred
in the magazine of the forts of Takao, a
treaty port on the southwestern coast Of
the island, and was at first understood to
be of a comparatively trivial character,
was terrible in its results. 1t is now said
that the explosion killed 1000 Chinese
soldiers attached to the forts and injured
many others. A squadron of Japanese
warships is patrollng the island.

Asleep Eleven Years.

There is q girl named Margue rite
Bouyenval, at Thenelles, in the
north of France, near Saint Quentin,
who is reported to have been sleep
70. the past eleven years. A good
deal of doubt has been thrown on
this phenomenal slumbering case,
not only in Paris, but also in The
nelles and it's vicinity, where there
are two camps, one Of the believers
and the other of those who maintain
that the so called sleeping beauty
rises at night and has good sup
per. The matter has been investi-
gated by Partisan, who has seen
the girl and found her as lean as a
skeleton and as stiff as corpse, but
still living. Her mother injects
milk, peptone. and sometimes wine
through broken tooth in the girls
mouth.
Marguerite Bouyenval made away
with a baby eleven years ago, and
the gendarmes were sent to her house.
The girl was so frightened at their
approach that she had an attack Of
hysteria, which lasted several hours,
and at the end of which she fell into
q trance. The doubts thrown OH the
continuation of the trance havc evil
IDENTIFY been caused by the fact that
the mother of the sleeping girl has
made good deal Of money by ex-
hibiting her. A local doctor, who
has observed the case during the
elsven years, informed the investi-
gator from Paris that Marguerite
Bouyenval had really been asleep
during the whole time. Occasional
ly she had hysterical cries, but did
net awake after them. Other doctors
hsve also agreed as to the genuine
ness of the phenomenon, and the
sleeping girl Of Thenelles rema.ns q
human mystery.

Many Times the Full Amount offered
In New York and London.
At New York. August Belmont q Co.
and J. p. Morgan & Co., managers OF the
bond syndicate, closed the list for the new
per cent. bonds at 1920 o'clock Wedncs-
day, the amount having been subscribed
for many times over. A private dispatch
from London says the new American
loan is quoted at per cent. premium In
London. This Is reckoned on The syndi-
Gates price of 113h. N. M. Rothschild Il
Son say at London that the new American
loan has proved colossal success.
Though the opening of subscriptions only
began Wednesday morning, the amount
of the loan allotted to Europe had been
covered very many times over by noon,
both with them and with Messrs. j. Is.
Morgan & Co. 1t is impossible as yet to
give the exact amount of the bids, as up
plications are still coming in from Lon
don, and the country is yet to be heard
from. The Pail Mall Gazette says that
the success of the loan is tribute to the
power of Messrs. Rothschild and mark
of confidence in the great wealth and
financial ability of the United States.
