crease in business
Chicago, Nov. 9.-The executive off,
ce-s of the western roads had another
conference here today on the freight
rate situation. The practicability OF
bringing about restoration of all rates
which have been reduced below regular
tariff was discussed az considerable
length, but in view of the position main
tanned by the southwestern roads in re-
gard TO rates TO and from gulf ports. the
conclusion was reached that nothing
could be done at present 10 adjust mat
ters. The opinion was freely expressed
thar until some change is effected in the
law, as it mas been declared to be by the
supreme court Of the United States
there is little probability of rates being
maintained on a permanent basis.

The Brooks Locomotive Works Of Dun
kirk Is now at work on an order for
forty engines for Japan and Corea, which
are TO be delivered this coming Decem-
Der and January. The vice president OF
the company, in reply TO an inquiry
from the writer, expresses himself as
follows:
1--WE believe if tie proper efforts are
made that large portion of tis busi-
ness. which has heretofre gone to Great
Britain and Continental Europe, could
be diverted to the locomotive manufac-
turers Of this country. The large in
crease in railway mileage in Russia,
China, Japan, India, Australia, South
America, etc, will, if we understand the
conditions correctly, compel those coun-
tries 20 look TO the United States for
portion of their motive power, for the
reason that the European manufactur-
ers on account of their small concerns,
and their methods of manufacture,
would be unable to fully supply this de-
mand, and the superior methods of the
American manufacturer enabling him
TO build larger number Of locomotives
in a given time, alsi enables him to
that formerly supplied all of this de-
mand. These statements are proved in
cur own case by the fact that we have
successfully compeed with ali Of the for
eign builders Of any Importance what
ever and secured business, and have no
doubt OF our greater ability to do so in
the future.
'sThe foreign locomotive market is a
large and inviting one, and is worth the
best efforts of the enterprising Ameri-
cam
The American public has many griev-
ances against it's railroads, but in many
particulars the American railway is un-
questionaDly the finest in the world.
Travellers from Europe say that the rates
of fare are lower in this country than
elsewhere, and that the passenger gets
much more comfort Whether this is
so or not. it is certain that American in
genuity has developed the arts Of car
and locomotive building in many par
ticuia-s to a point far ahead OF any
thing that has been attained in any |
other country. The fact is gratifying to !
the national pride, but even more pleas |
ant in some material aspects is the fact |
that one of the immediate results has |
been considerable profit TO the national |
purse. The splendid beginning OF the |
two years is only q beginning. Ameri- |
can locomotives have found thier way |
into the different countries and they |
are now at work proving themselves.
There has yet to be a case where Amer
lean and English engines have been
tried In competition in any other coun-
try OF South Aemerica, South Africa, or
the Orient in which the American en-
gine has not given the better satisfac-
ton. The peoples Of the artn are now
having an opportunity to satisfy them
selves Of this fact, and the engines
which have already gone out are no more
than advance agents or drummers TO get
much larger orders in tahe future for
the glory and the profit of Uncle Sam.

there are but few that cannot be cured.
Their object in establishing this insti-
tute. many years ago, was TO build fo-
themselves a reputation that they would
be proud of and the many acknowledge
nents and letters Of praise they receive
every day, is the best proof that they
have not laborei in vain. They have
made particular speciality OF treating
patients by mail, their system is so per-
feet that they can treat successfully al

Sugar Beet Soil.

1.-THE query that presents itself to
most people when the matter of grow
ing sugar beets Is presented, is what
kind of soil is best for them? This
may be replied to in a general way by
the statement that any moderately fer
tile soil, such as will grow wheat, corn.
potatoes, cotton, etc, will be found
suited to sugar beets, and even soils
too salty or alkaline to grow these
crops will produce good beets. Sugar
beets have been found a good crop to
plant upon soils somewhat alkaline
with view of improving the soil, this
crop having been found valuable for
extracting and removing alkali in
small quantities. Experiments have
been made with growing upon ex-
tremely light, sandy soils and upon
heavy adobe and clay soils; upon very
sterile and fertile soils, with results
leading to the conclusion that extremes
In all these classes of soil should be
avoided, while medium soils of all
kinds give satisfactory yields. One of
the essentials is that the soil shall have
depth-that Is, 1t must be of a friable
nature to the depth of foot or more.
Another is that there shall be no hard
pan" near the surface. A calcareous
soil has been found to produce the
greatest per cent of sugar. In too rich
a soil the beets grow too large. have
little sugar and grow too much leaves.
In poor soil the beets may be rich
In sugar but the yield will be too small
In hn a having In -.
beets are too large and contain an in
sufficient amount of sugar. A dearth
of water produces small crop and
woody structure. A heavy clay or
adobe is not loose enough to be easily
worked and requires too much care in
Irrigating and cultivating to give good
returns. The reports of experiments
show that In Wisconsin the richest
| beets were obtained from fertile clay
| loan. In Washington the best results
were obtained from a soil intermediate
between clay loan and sandy loan,
| In South Dakota dark sandy loan
and clay loan gave the most satisfac-
| tory crop. In Nebraska the best crops
are grown upon sandy loan. In Kan
sas the best results are from a loan.
In Iowa dark loan proved best. In
Indiana most arabic lands gave about
equally good results though a moder-
ateiy sandy loan seemed rather better
than others. From these results the
ideal soil for the sugar beet may be
called moderately fertile rather por-
Gus, deep sandy loan, with a porous
subsoil. WIN. Stowe Deyol, In Bull

GOMEZ AND WEYLER.
Weyier Hides During an Engagement Be
tween Their Forces.

Havana, via Key West, MAY 3l.-De-
tails have been received here of an en-
gagement at La Reforma between the
Spaniards, commanded by Gen. Wey-
Ter, and the Cubans, led by Cen Gomez.
The battle was fought early last week
and it was a result of Weyler's scheme
to crush Gomez by surrounding him
with 90, 600 men. The plan failed. and
the battle was reported here as an or
dinary Spanish victory without de-
tails.
1t was the first time in the war that
Weyler and Gomez have faced each otf .
er. Gomez, placing his men in the
best strategic position at La Reforma,
awaited Gen. Weyler and for six hours
held him in check, although the Cubans
scarcely numbered 1000 men.
Gomez ordered his best shots to pur-
sue the Spanish general, but the latter
never came to the front. When two
fresh Spanish columns came up Gomez
retired and the Spanish abandoned the
field
