BIG YIELD OF RAW SUGAR
Information on the Production Of Beet
Sugar in Russia,
CUBAN WAR DOES NOT DECREASE OUTPUT
Russian Experts Report the Years
Product Together with stocks
in sight in Excess OF
Last Years.

WASHINGTON, Nov. lS.-Ths years raw
sugar supply OF the world surpasses that OF
1895. Notwithstanding the enormous Cuban
deficit according to official statistics re-
ceived at the Department Of State from
Consul General Karel Of st. Petersburg
Mr.. Karel reports the Russian wheat and
rye shortage will be more than made up by
the increased beet sugar production, and
adds that since the case is common to other
European countries, the committee OF Rus
sian ministers officially determined for each
period OF production the quantity Of sugar
to be turned out for the sugar factories for
the home market, which this year was
fixed at over 100000 tons, an excess over last
year OF $4,000 tons, and the ministry OF
finance has concluded to lower the prices
on account of the cheapening OF manu-
facture, the improvement OF beet cultivation
and this years excellent harvest, the new
price being $3.50 per pood of thirty-siN
pounds, against S2.44 last year.
The official Russian estimate of the
worlds raw sugar product for this year is
as follows Production of beet sugar, 4.960,-
600 tons; production Of cane sugar, 1855, 900
tons stock on hand. 1,l50 600 tons; total,
S765,000 tons. Last year the corresponding
total was $500 500 tons. The estimated con-
sumption for the ensuing year is placed at
Z $50 600 tons

MURDER TWO DEFENsELEss WOMEN
Assn ssins Commit IL DnstnrdIy Crime
with No Anlnrent Motive.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 1s.-Mrs. Foley. a
widow aged 65 years, and her unmarried
daughter, Fanny. aged 40, were found muir
dered in their home near Liberty No. early
this morning No motive for the crime is
known.
News of the murder reached police head
quarters at 4:3O o'clock this morning. VIII
liam Foley, aged %, son of the murdered
woman, had visited a neighbor yesterday
evening, and returning home after midnight
was first to discover the dead bodies. The
gates TO the farm were open, the cattle
and horses loose, and the front door ajar.
Mother and sister were found in their bed
room, dressed in their night gowns and
bespattered with blood. The daughter Law
upon the floor, her head resting against the
bed. and the mother was stretched out face
downward, beside her. They had both been
shot, the mother through the head and the
daughter in the back. Further investiga-
tion showed that the assassin or assassins;
had first fired at Mrs. Foley through one
of the front windows The bullet lodged
in the head of the bedstead. Both women
evidently became frightened and ran into
the bedroom in the rear. The door was then
forced open and the bloody work COM
pleted.
After making a hasty examination of the
bodies, the son gave the alarm to neighbors
and a party was soon gathered and sought
for traces of the perpetrators OF the crime.
Finding no definite or tangible clew they
rode to Kansas City, fifteen miles distant.
and reported the murder to the police de-
partment. Detectives were Immediately sent
to Liberty from here, while In the mean
time posses were being organized at the
scene OF the crime
Three years ago horse was stolen from
Mrs. Foley and man named Hoover was
convicted and sent to the pententary. His
term recently expired, and il is said that
he was seen twice in the neighEoraood
lately. close search is being made for
him.
The coroner's jury. which began an in
vcstigatlon OF the tragedy this afternoon
was In secret session and upon adjournment
was sworn to secrecy. Tonight there is q
strong sentiment against the son and
brother, William Foley, who first reported
the murder, and though he has heretofore
borne an excellent name. he is being closely
watched. Mrs. Foley was a widow and one
story Is that there had long been some fric-
tion in the family over her persistent re-
fusal to partition the family estate among
her three children. The murdered daughter
is said to have sided with her mother in
the family dissensions

CURRY COOKS IN THE CHAIR
Tragic Result of a Bit of Nonsense During
an Initiation. -
INTENDED JOKE TERMINATES FATALLY
Chairman OF the Iowa Free silver
Democratic Committee Falls vic-
tim to n Desire to Have
Fun with Him. ..

DIES MONIES, Nov. 1s.-(special Tele-
gram.)-E. w. Curry. chairman Of the free
silver democratic state central committee.
died early this morning at the Savery ho-
tel In this city, where he has been sick for
two months. Mr.. Curry's death is reported
to have been the result of injuries received
while being initiated into a Des Moines
lodge of Eks. Blood poisoning resulted
from the injuries and this caused death.
AS part of the initiatory ceremony, he was
seated in a chair with a thin iron seat,
and a large lighted lamp placed under 1t.
The object was to secure some amusement,
the candidate being expected to jump out
of the chair when the heat became unbsar-
able. But he didn't jump. With some
friends he had been out in the afternoon,
and when he went into the hall he was
somewhat under the influence OF liquor.
The presumption is that when he was placed
in the chair. blindfolded, his sensibili-
ties were so far benumbed that he
was severely burned without knowing 1t
or being able to move. The lookers-on saw
him fairly cook for some time, wondering
at his nerve, till they discovered smoke
rising from the chair. Then he was taken
out of 1t and found to be badly burned. His
trousers were burned away and his flesh
almost crisp. He was taken to his hotel
and cared for by the best physicians. At
his own request it was given out that he
was suffering from another trouble and the
true story did not leak out till today. Even
yet there is much mystery about 1t.
As result of the injuries blood poisoning
set in very soon and from that time OIL
there was almost no hope of saving his
life. He grew worse steadily and for large
part of the last month of his life was un-
conscious. He manifested wonderful vital
ity, and lived a week after the doc
tors pronounced his death a matter of only
few hours The story of how his injuries
came about was given cut tonight by mem-
bers of the Elks lodge after an evening pa
per had published a much more sensational
story. The Elks met tonight. but after
their session had nothing to say except 10
repeat their earlier version. There has been
no disposition on the part OF Mr.. Currys
family to blame the members OF the order
who have done all in their power for him
during the illness. Mrs. Curry and her
daughter, the only members of the family,
earnestly desired that Mr.. Curry's frequently
expressed wish that the truth should never
be made public, should be carried out. Mr..
Curry lived at Leon, Ia. and was lawyer.
He was As years old and had been a leader in
state politics for several years.
