SUGAR BETS.
North Dakota Factories Promise
Much to Farmers.
North

jamestown, n. D., Aug. Arrange
ments are being made for the es-
adjustment of mammoth beet sugar
factory in jamestown. A number Of
eastern capitalists are interested in the
deal and it is probable that the work
building the factory will be begun in
September. jamestown citizens have
secured twenty-acre site and will
take $4,000 worth of the 100000
took. The representatives of the capt.
talists have expressed themselves as
satisfied with the concessions agreed
upon here and will sent an engineer TO
arrange matters.
1t is proposed to build a factory to
cost between 100000 and s,-0,OO0.
The 100000 will be secured by the is
suance of bonds to the amount of
100000 and stock for 100000. The
city will rebate taxes for twenty years
The matter of fuel has been investi-
agted and it has been found that the
native ignite an be used. Limestone
will be secured from a point near Will
ton on the Washburn road.
Cakes, n. ID. Aug. Sat a meeting
of the farmers of this section held to
consider the establishing of a beet
sugar industry in this place, President
Worst and Professor Ladd of the agri-
cultural college were present; also B.
F. Spencer of Baltimore and L. R. C..
Crowell of Fargo. Mr.. Worst and
Professor Ladd spoke quite extensively
of the experiments made by the COL
lege during the past nine years in
testing the various localities of the
state as to their adaptability to grow
ing the sugar beet. The conclusion
they came to was that the sail in this
particular section of the state was most
favorable, and they have published
several bulletins from the college adj
vising the establishment of the indus
try in this locality, and especially at
this city on account of the abundant
supply of excellent water and the rail-
road facilities. After carefully look
ing over the advantages of the place,
Messrs. Spencer and Crowell an
nounced that thew were ready with
suffiient capita to establish the in
dustry here as soon as the farmers
would contract to grow and deliver to
the factory 5000 acres of beets. They
proposed to erect a building 4OOxf.5
feet in size, six stories in height, built
of brick, with steel frame, to cost,
with the machinery, 100000 In ad-
dition to this capital they will have
100000 as a working capital, and will
be ready for business next season, the
work of building to commence at once.
The proposition was accepted, and the
work of getting the contracts signed
is being vigorously pushed, and will be
completed within ten days. No bonus
of any kind was asked, but an oppor-
tunity will be offered citizens to sub
scribe to the stock, and several thou
sand dollars have already been placed.

New London No., Aug. 2.-Alexander
Jester, the octogenarian who has been
on trial here for the past two weeks
for the murder twenty-nine years ago
Of Gilbert Gates, was last night ac-
quilted. The jury took three ballots.
When the verdict was read the old
prisoner, bent with age and worn with
watching, sat as il daZed for an in
slant, while the vast audience watched
the action of the judge in breath
less silence. Jester finally arose,
and his face fairly beaming with
joy moved toward the jurymen to
thank them. A moment later the spec
tators made the court room ring. After
nearly four weeks of tedious testimony,
the great trial of Alexander Jester had
passed itno history. 1t had been fled
with pathos, presenting the spectacle
of woman testifying against her
brother in the attempt to fasten a
murder committed nearly thirty years
ago, upon his head. AS soon as Jester
could separate himself from the crowd
congratulating him, he hurried to the
hotel and was soon the center of a
happy group made up of his children.

war MINISTER IS OUT
PORTFOLIO IN FRENCH
MINISTRY
GEN. ANDRE HIS SUCCESSOR
Marquis Gives Reason for Retire
ment Poor HenIth-Paris Public
Takes an Entirely Different
View of His Action.

PARIS, May 30-General, the Marquis
de Gallifet, minister of war, has resigned.
1t is officially announced that his sue
cessOr is Gen. Andre.
In his letter to M WaIdeck- -Rosseau,
the premier, asking him to place the res
ignation in the hands of the president of
the republic, Gen. Gallifet pleads i'll
health as a reason for the action. His
exact words are:
Il am very i'll, and my health prevents
me resisting all the emtions Of the mo-
ment."
The Official Journal this morning, there
fore, contains the acceptance of the res
ignation in a decree signed by NJ. Loubet,
who also appoints the new minister, de-
Gliding upon Gen. Andre as the most suit
able parsonage The interview at the
ministry of the interior between the pre-
mier and the new minister lasted about
three-quarters of an hour. An agreement
was rapidly reached regarding all the
important points, and at midnight the
premier was ready to send the decree to
the Official Journal.
In spite of his plea of ill-heaIth, this
is not considered the sole reason for the
resignation of Gen. Gallifet. Having in
view the apologize statement made by
M. Waldeck-ROuSSeau in the chamber OF
deputies, there seems little doubt that he
was annoyed by the word felony ap-
piled TO an officer of the French army,
although there is little difference between
this language Of the premier and that
which Gen. Gallifet had himself used
at a previous sitting.
The ministerial organs continue to give
i'll health as the reason for the action,
the Figaro pointing out that Gen. de
Gallifets own use Of the word "crime"
is much harsher than the word felony"
(which aptly describes Capt. Fritschs
attitude towards his superior"
Whatever the true reason, there IS
general regret on Gen. de Gallifets re-
tirement. His straightforwardness was
the delight Of his friends, and his rugged
eloquence at times compelled even the
admiration of his enemies. Under his
direction the army has been benefited
by quite a number of reforms, the most
recent of which was his prohibition of the
sale of harmful intoxicants. He also
forbade that certain newspapers, notOri-
Gus for their attacks upon the army,
should be placed at military clubs.
1t is difficult to say as yet what ef-
feet the resignation Will have upon the
cabinet. Gen Andre was appointed gen
eral of division a year ago. He is an
officer of the Legion of Honor
The Saint Paul globe., 1900-05-30

Mr.. McRae (Ark.) acted as chairman and
Mr.. Cummings, of New York, secretary.
At the outset Mr.. Richardson CTenn.) Of
fered the following resolution expressive
of the party attitude:
Whereas, there is known to be a large
and growing surplus in the treasury over
and above the necessities of the govern
ment arising out of the taxes levied and
COLLECTED under the war revenue tax act
OF 1898, therefore,
Resolved, That we favor the reduction
OF the taxes provided for in said bill,
and we do not think that the present
session of congress should adjourn until
said taxes shall have been repealed as
10 certain articles and reduced as to 9TH
ers, until there is total reduction in
the aggregate of at least 80 per centum
We pledge ourselves at all times to
support any measure or measures pro-
VdIng for such reduction"
Mr Levy IN. V offered a substitute
protesting against congressional adjourn
Inent until action has been taken to re-
duce or repeal the war revenue taxes.
Mr.. Richardson supported his resolution
In brief speech The Levy substitute
was thereupon defeated and the Richard
son motion adopted without division.
The trust question was next taken up,
Mr. Ban CTeX.) presenting a resolution
faVoring an adverse vote on the anti
trust constitutional amendment and a faV-
orable vote on the proposed Democratic
antitrust substitute bill 1t further pro-
Vided that in the event of the defeat Of
Jnc substitute support would be given to
the antitrust. bill as reported.
The resolution brought cut extended de-
bate and considerable differences of opin-
ion as to the manner of dealing with the
trust issue. In the course of the dis
cussion Mr.. Salmon On. j. intimated
that without reference to the action of
the caucus he would favor the constitu-
tiOnal amendment.
The Democratic members of the judi
ciary committee, Messrs. Terry, De Ar
mond, Lanham and others favored action
along the lines, of the Ball resolution.
The Ball resolution was finally adopted
with minor amendments.
