The Department Of Agriculture has or
dered about $500 worth Of sugar beet seed
from Russia, Germany. and other Euro
pean countries. When these seeds arrive
they will be sent to about 10000 farmers
in the spring. in localities most favorable
to beet culture throughout the United
States. Only small quantity will be sent
is to establish an interest in sugar beet
culture. which has possibilities of becom-
ing one Of the largest agricultural indus
tries In the country. 49,
DR.. H. W. Wiley. Chief Chemist OF the
Department Of Agriculture. said to Times
reporter this morning that the seeds
which are purchased represent the highest
grade produced in Europe. For the first
time this year." said DR.. Wiley, IAN at
tempt will be made to procure seeds of
beets especially adapted to high northern
latitudes, as North Dakota, Minnesota, and
similar localities. These seeds will be
procured In Russia, and 1t is hoped they
will develop species Of beet which will
fully mature during the short growing
season which prevails in the localities
mentioned.
Experience has shown that the farther
north sugar beets are grown to ripeness,
the richer they are in sugar. The develop
ment Of the beet Industry in northern Da-
kota would add vastly to the agricultural
wealth Of that State.
Wherever In the United States" con-
tinued DR.. Wiley, "a sugar beet factory
has been successfully established, the price
of land has wonderfully increased. and the
profits of the farmer have been considera-
bly, enhanced.
There is no boon to American agricul-
ture SO great as would be a general devel-
opment Of the beet sugar industry In the
United States to an extent that would sup
ply our domestic needs. We are now using

coAL1Na SHIPS AT SEA.
The Naval Construction Board Di
rccts That Test He Made.

Inc Naval AOmotrUCtIOn nO2I0 III
reefs That a Test BE Made.
The Naval Board on Construction has
referred back to a special board the report
OF the latter concerning tests by new de-
vice for coaling ships at sea with direc-
tions to make another test and furnish
recommendations ss TO the utility OF the
process and whether 1t should be adopted
by the United States Navy. The tests were
conducted recently by the battleship Mass
achusetts, but the special board, while
characterizing the process as valuable. and
calling attention Ia. its good points, failed
to express or make any recommendation
or express any opinion on the question as
to whether it shorid be adopted. Captain
Train and other officers of the Massachu-
setts were enthusiastic over the workings
OF the system and SO expressed themselves.
The lack OF fairly perfect process to
coal ships at sea was not felt by the
United States in the war with Spain to any
great extent, but il is realized that oc-
casion might have arisen when such a
process would have been necessary to Sc
cure the homogeneity Of the naval force
in the West Indies. Schley,s flying squad
ron was easily eoaled at sea and after
dark, off the coast of Cuba.
The Brooklyn is considered the vessel
best adapted of all those in the navy. for
coaling at sea. Her hull is built on the
tumble e-home" plan. that is, it has de-
cidedly inward curve from point just
above the water line, thus giving consid-
cradle space between her deck and the
collier which cannot chafe the Brooklyn
except at the waterline bulge, where the
inward curve begins. The Massachusetts
does not have the tumble home and
therefore the test with the new process
was more fairly conducted toward the 9TH
er vessels of the navy, through her de-
monstration of the utility of the process.

THE COLOMBIAN REVOLUTION.
An Interesting Account of II Recefv-
ed Here From an Agent.

An Interesting Account of Ii Recetv-
ed Here From an Agent.
The Government has received, through
one of its agents, most interesting ac-
count, dated the latter part of November,
of the inception and growth of the present
revolutionary movement in Colombia. The
revolution, according to this statement. is
an attempt on the part OF the Liberals to
oust the Conservatives. who have been in
power for many years. The finances Of the
country are said to be in bad condition.
The present rate Of exchange is eight CO.
lombian dollars for one gold, but ten to one
is often given. The effect Of this state Of
affairs upon trade and commerce was dis
astrous, and the Liberals saw their oppor-
tunity to revolt.
The disturbances began in Santander,
which is now the centre of the revolution.
The garrisons OF the coast towns and ports.
when the advices were sent, were being
hurried to the scene of revolt by the gov
ernment. and only a few ragged conscripts
were left for protection. The revolution
ary movement had so far been confined to
Santander, and 1t was affirmed that the
Liberals would make no demonstration in
Panama and Colon on account Of foreign
interests there.
The principal engagement so far has been
a naval one, and the agert gives a graphic
account of this. 1t took place on the night
of October "a at Los Obispos, 800 miles up
the Magdalena River, below Puerto Ma
cional. .fat.4-
The revolutionists were embarking on
seven steamers, which they had seized, and
were coming down the river. presumably
with the hope Of capturing Cartagena or
some other coast town. in order to get pos
session of the customhouse and revenues.
Their steamers were unprotected and un-
armed, while the government troops were
on two similar vessels. which had been
protected by plating and railway iron and
were armed with Gatlings and one Hotch-
kiss gun.
The two fleets met in the dark, one steam
ing up the river at speed of knots. the
other coming down the rapid current at
twelve or fourteen knots. The govern
ment vessels, the Hercules and Columbia,
were charged by the Helena and others of
the insurgent force and the Hercules was
rammed by the Helena, but the blow struck
her on the paddle BOX esnd did no material
damage. The general on the Helena then
ordered his pilot to ram another vessel,
which the pilot assured him was one Of his
own squadron, but pointing revolver at
the mans head, the general insisted on his
command being obeyed.
The result was that the Cristobal Colon.
his best ship, was struck amidships and
went down, carrying with her $50 men.
This loss SO disheartened the insurgents
that they put about, ran their vessels along
shore and deserted them.
1t was reported that since then the insur-
gents had lost Cigarero. one Of their ablest
generals, in recent engagement. With the

Incendiary.

WINCHESTER, Va, Dec. S.-Lenore, q
