| In California.
Total 1i4.lOO 1920, 900 10000

These figures may be somewhat re-
duced as result of the many inexper-
fenced growers in several States and
unfavorable weather conditions in CAL
ifornia. The total production Of sugar
by American beet factories last year
was only 1890 tons in consequence of
drought in California. The year before
the production was 41,347 tons. The
increase this year was due to the large
number of new factories which will be
added to the list of plants in operation.
The American beet sugar industry Is
now assuming much Importance and
becoming a factor in the worlds sugar
situation.

OMAHA, June li.-A special to the
Bee, from Blair, Neb., says:
One OF the worst storms in the his
tory OF Eastern Nebraska visited Her
man, Neb., last evening, about G:3O
o'clock. 1t took the form Of a lorna
do about two miles west OF Herman
and after travelling west short dis
lance, turned back, keeping a due east
course until within half mile of the
town. II then took a southeasterly
turn, covering a strip about twenty
five rods wide, broad enough TO clean
out the entire town OF Herman.
Two or three residences still remain
In the outskirts Of the town, though
much damaged. The Methodist Church
and the scnool are the only other
buildings left. The church is being
used as a hospital and morgue.
Train No. 2 on the Omaha road pull
ed into Herman just after the storm
and its crew began the work Of rescue.
Nearly 100 persons were brought back
to Blair. This morning relief and as
slstance were sent to the homeless
people, many OF whom had been out
In the rain all night.
There was but one tornado insur-
ance policy in the town, and that for
but trifling amount. The balance Is
total loss. The heavy rain that fol-
lowed the storm practically ruined
what had not been destroyed by the
wind
The storm came on very slowly, Civ
ing most people ample time to reach
their cellars. Instead Of taking a
straight course 1t seemed to zig-zag
back and forth.
HERMAN. Neb., June 1i.-Ten were
killed and about twenty-five injured
in last nights tornado. II Is thought
all are now accounted for, unless the
storm has been more disastrous in the

AMERICANS
IN CHINA !
Our Capitalists Will Be Backed by
Our Minister at Peking.
NO COMBINATION WITH ENGLAND

The Traditional Policy OF the state
Department Has Boon Pursued In
the Brico Concessions as In other
/ Cnses-Chinese Minister Interested.
Washington. July Secretary Hay
received a call yesterday from w Bar
clay Parsons. the engineer represent
ing the American railway concession
aires controlling the projected railroad
from Canton to Hankow. China. The
Chinese government is Ostensibly held
to be obstructing the concessionaires,
but behind that government, and urg-
ing It unwillingly on it's course, are
foreign influences, according to Mr..
Parsons, which are striving to secure
for themselves this concession. Mr..
Parsons represented that an English
company holding the concession for
line from Canton to Kowloon was pre-
pared to unite interests with the Amer
lean corporation and effect a COM
bination to maintain themselves
against these foreign influences.
AS a result of Mr.. Parsons repre-
sentations the American minister in
Peking has been instructed to use his
good offices in all proper ways in be-
half of the American company, and to
prevent injury to its interests. There
is no foundation for the report that
this action is taken in concurrence
with that of the British government
There has been no communication be-
tween the two governments in regard
to the matter, and no joint action has
been asked for by the American COM
pany, and none has been recommend
ed.
The traditional policy of the state de-
partment has been pursued in this as
in other cases, the American diplo-
matte representatives being charged to
assist in every way American interests
in the countries to which they are aC-
credited. In cases of competition be-
tween different American enterprises
the minister is warned not to favor
one at the expense of the other, but
to exert his good offices in all cases Of
contracts and competitions, so that
American interests shall have an
equal chance with other countries.
The Chinese minister, Mr.. WI Ting
Fang, stated that he had not been ad-
vised in any official manner of the
combination between the American
and British companies having certain
concessions in China, or of any ap-
| peal to the respective governments,
and he did not care to discuss the ef-
feet or significance Of such moves until
he had learned of them in an official
manner. The minister is deeply in
terested in everything that relates to
the American concession, as it was
granted through him in April, 1898,
after extended conferences with sew
eral of the representatives of the late
Senator BTice.

INSPECTION !
The Board of Health In the Borough
Building.
ORDERED THE LOOKUP VACATED
After Two Women and a Child Were Re-
leased scrubbing Force was Put
to Work and the Place Thoroughly
Disinfeoted -Recommenda-
tions to Follow.

An inspection of the Borough building and
the lookup was made by the Board Of Health
this morning and resulted in Health Officer
Conry taking immediate steps to abate
nuisances complained Of
The chief source of complaint was the
prevalence of sewer gas in the Lookup and
adjoining apartments, and the cause is At
tributed to a failure to properly cover drain.
age pipes and supply traps. The Board of
Health will probably recommend that Coun-
Gil pave the yard from the rear of the bor-
oueh building to Pear alley, in order to af-
ford proper drainage when the lookup is
being cleaned out
When the place was visited this morNing
two women prisoners were found locked in
cell. One was an aged woman with hair as
white as snow, the other a very young
woman with child one month old at the
breast. The former prisoner was not an OBJ.
ject of as much sympathy, in spite of her ad .
vanced years. because she is frequent nuis-
ance to the authorities on account of inter-
perate and quarrelsome habits, but it was de-
cided to call upon the Chief Burgess to release
the prisoners or provide better place of i'm
prisonment, it being decided that the sanitary
condition of the place was a menance
to their health, especially to that of
the child. The mother was in custody
on charge Of surety. The Chief Burgess
declined to release the women, as he had not
committed them, but when the Health Officer
returned to the lookup he found the release
had been made during his absence.
The place having been cleared of prisoners,
the Health Officer put a party at work to
clean it out and, when this was accomplished,
the officer thoroughly disinfected it.
The management of the lookup will be a
subject of consideration at the next meeting
of the Board of Health and strong recon-
mendations to the Borough Council will prob
ably follow.

FINANCE AND TRADE.

The Commercial Agencies Send Out
Most Gratifying Reviews.
New York, July 15.-R. G. Dun &
Co. s weekly review of trade says: Be
cause every prospect pleases, it is the
right time to watch most closely for
signs of trouble. But it is not easy to
find them when the volume of business
is 63.7 per cent larger than last year
and 1855 larger than in 1892, the best
of all years except the last, or when
failures continue the smallest ever
known, or when the exports of staples
begin to improve materially, or when
railroad business is by far the best
ever known, or when New York bank
ers appear in international operations,
listening to a Russian inquiry and un-
dertahng a Mexican loan. Even the
industrial disputes incident to the
season cause less trouble than usual,
the largest of them having been set
tied Thursday by the tin plate COM
pany. The Bank of England finds it
difficult to borrow more from this side,
and frankly raises its rate, while this
country begins to ship fresh crops, for
which Europe will run into debt.
Bradstreet's review says: New
features in the general trade situation
and week are of an almost uniformly
favorable character. So rare, indeed,
are the disturbing and unsettliug
features as TO necessitate considerable
search to locate them. Additional
statistics of past trade movements re-
ceived are certainly of an encouraging
nature, foremost among these being
exceptionally good railroad earnings
returns for June and the first half of
the year and ascertained totals of an
enormous export trade, practically
equal to the phenomenal business of
the preceding fiscal year.

The statement seems almost incredible yet
it is true that there is scarcity Of miners
and laborers at many of the colieries in this
region. This is especially true at Eagle Hill
and Silver Creek, two Of the best colleries
owned by the p. & X. c. & l. Co. Miners and
laborers are in demand. which is an indica-
tion that better times for the working classes
are slowly but surely coming. 1t is well
known fact that for some years the foreign
element have been dissatisfied with the poor
time made at the various colleries in the an
thracite region, and that they have been
moving to more profitable fields Of labor
