SHOULD Be MADE TO PAY,
General Hampton's Report on
the Bond-Aided Pacific
Railroads.
Recommends Legislation to Sc
cure a Just Settlement With
the Government.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2.-General
Wade Hampton, United States Commits
sioner of Railroads, to-day submitted to
the Secretary of the Interior report upon
the physical and financial condit ton of the
property and affa irs of the several railroad
companies under the jurisdiction of the
Commissioner of Railroads.
Speaking OF the Union Pacific system he
says that as now constituted, it comprises
the lines of fifteen distinct companies,
united by stock ownership or lease, aggre-
eating 1884 miles.
The capital stock OF the company is
$50, 500, 500, and its Indebtedness to the Gov
eminent amounts to $53,050053. Other
obligatio ms, consisting OF floating bonds in
the hands OF the public to the amount OF
$74, 100000, bring liabilities up to about
$751;, 1873, 500.
The conditions of the properties of the
Union and Central Pacific railroads were
personally inspected by the Commissioner
in June and July of the current year, and
found to be excellent. SIC -
The Commissioner renews his recommen-
dations for legislation which will secure
the Government an ultimate payment of
the moneys originally advanced by it as q
loan to the Pacific railroad companies.
Should this not meet with favor, the Com.
missioner renews his old recommendation
for the appointing by the President of a
commission to settle the Indebtedness of
the bond-aided Pacific railroads to the
Government on terms which shall be hon
orable to the companies and just TO the
United States.

The Great: Factory Never Stops
From the. Beginning to the
Close of the Season.

CHINO, CAL, Oct. 2.-The. Chino beet
sugar factory will soon close the most
prosperous season it has enjoyed: The
factory opened on July: g.; Sincethen 1t
has been using between 500 and 1000 tons
of roots per day, which yielded close upon
$50, COO pounds of granulated sugar every
twenty-four hours. The beets are taken
from the 800 farmers on the great planta-
ton, topped and hauled tothe factory,
and are then dumped into. mammoth re-
ceiving trays From these they are con-
veyed to fiume, where they are. partially
cleaned as they are hoisted by 3 screw
elevator. Taken to the second floor, they
are thoroughly washed and thrown into
slicing machines, where they are cut into
strips from two to four inches in length.
They then pass through a sleeping pro-
cess, by which every particle OF sweetness
is extracted and the water drawn-off. A
thick syrup is all thatis left ana this is
treated with pulverized lime and other
chemicals. On the lime being extracted
the graduated sugar remains.
The Chino beet sugar industry Is the
largest of its kind in the United States.
The factory and equipment represent an
outlay of s., 100, 600. For this years beets
anu ldDOl IL Will pay OO1 VIC ASt5ANSA-
hood of $500, 900. 1t is estimated that the
seasons output will be 280, 900 sacks of fine
sugar, total of 100000 pounds. or 700
carloads of twenty tons EACH.
The crop is one of the finest ever har-
vested, some of the roots showing on anal
ysis IS per cent of sugar. The seed used Is
all imported from Germany, and the roots
average about four pounds each. The
usual crop is twenty tons to the acre., Cor
which the farmer receives an.ayerage OF 81
per ton.
The factory covers more than FIVE acres.
The main building is 90 by $50 feet, the
separating factory 90 by no feet and the
boiler-h onse so by 125 feet. Over 3, 100000
gallons of water are used daily, being sup
Piled by artesian wells.
The company has one of the largest
kilns in the world, which supplies fifteen
tons of prepared lime per day. 1t also has
its own electric-light plant and ice factory.
Ten boilers, which furnish $4,000 horse
power, burn between rs, 900 and 10000; gall
Ions of petroleum every day, which is
brought by a private pipe line from
Puente, fourteen miles distant. %.
The bulk of the sugar is consumed in
Southern California, which fact helps to
swell the company profits in the Saving
of freights. The beets are raised without
irigati on, and it is claimed that the Chino
beet and yields greater weight OF roots
to the acre and the beets produces higher
perez mage of sugar to, the. ton,than any,
where else in the world. -

"DANIEL S. LAMONT, Secretary of War"
This is the official order issued by the
War Department to-day An effort has
been made to ascribei the delay in the
issuance of the order to the desire on the
part of the administration to punish
General Miles for announcing that he had
been selacted for the detail in advance of
the PRONUNCIATION of the official order. AS
stated yesterday it was caused solely by
the changes in the staff of General Miles
incident to his transfer to Washington.
The Acknowledgements Office in Wash
ington has been completely upset by the
changes ordered this morning few hours
before the official announcement of the
order to General Miles was made. Colonel
T, M. Vincent, who acted as adjutant-gen-
eral en- the staff of General Schoheld has
been relieved of that duty and assigned to
duty in the adjutant-generals Office.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2.-Secre-
tary Carlisle has decided to refer the sugar
bounty cases to the Court of Claims, re-
serving his decision as to the validity of
Comptroller Bowler's ruling that the
bounty was unconstitutional.
Ex-senator Henderson and his clients,
the sugar-growers, had asked for hearing
on the case with view to having Secre-
tary Carlisle override the Bowler decision.
Secretary Carlisle said to-day that he was
willing to grant hearing if it was insisted
on, but that the point involved was ques-
ton of law, and the Secretary had deter
mined to have it settled by the courts.

WORLD OF SCIENCE.
The Storage Battery Cars Again.

After a lapse Of six years the manag
ers of the New York and Harlem rail
road have determined to resume within
80 days the running of storage battery
cars on their city lines. Arrangements
have been made with the storage bat
terry company to equip cars for imme-
diate service. Six yeasr ago number
of storage battery cars were run on
Fourth and Madison avenues in this
city, but owing to a patent litigation
between rival companies, the use OF the
cars was suddenly and unexpectedly
enioined. Storage battery traction was
| the first system to inspire the hopes of
street railway men who, were DESTROYS
of doing away with animal traction.
AS soon, therefore, as the storage bat
terry had made its appearance in 1880,
preparations were begun to utilize 1t
for the purposes of traction, and the
following year, 1881, storage battery
cars were run between the Place de la
Concorde and the Palais de l'lndustrie,
Paris. AS that was the year OF the
electrical exposition in Paris, the cars
attracted great deal of attention, and
similar attempts to run storage battery
cars We're made in other places. not all
at Antwerp and Brussels. In all those
places it was found that the ears did
satisfactory and dniform service, hav-
ing speed and sufficient power, and the
only drawback seemed to be the life
of the battery, which was found, rs a

While these experiments were being
carried on, the trolley system came IL
the front, and, by reason of the greater
economy, both Of installation and ser
vice, claimed for it, the storage battery
system was neglected. The only Oh
stacle hitherto found in the way of
storage battery traction has been the
life Of the battery. The storage bat
terry consists one half of positive and
one half of negative plates. No fault
has ever been found with the negative
plates for they have an almost indet
mite life, or, at least. an economical
life; but the positive plates of the
earlier types of battery seemed not TO
have an economical life, SO that they
had to be too frequently renewed TO
admit of as low "A cost of motive power
