the growth of twenty million tons of sugar beets annually, which at a mini mum average price of four dollars per ton would give to the farmers raising million dollars and in addition to this a million dollars, an in addition to this a yearly outlay of millions of dollars for labor and requisite supplies.
 Of the conditions that win follow the establishing of factory in this val ley and the income which the industry wf.l throw .inlso the hands of the grow CTS the following may be expected; the ranchers would. for the present, seed 5000 acres In sugar beet5 for which, at an average of fifteen tons per acre and an average price of s4.5o per ton. they will receive $225.000 each season, and when the factory is increased to 1000 tons sSaily capacity this sum will be more i,han doubled.
 The factory site, with buildings, tracks. switches. beet sheds. ware houses. etc. will occupy a forty acrs. tract of land. The main building will be four hundred feet long by seventy feet wide and four stories high. and when fully equipped will contain over over one hundred and fifty car loads os machinery. In addition to this there will be sugar warehouse capable of storing three million pounds of refined product This warehouse will be two hundred feet long by fifty feet wids. and two stories high. The boiler house will have a capacity of fifteen hundred horse pow.r. All of the above build ings will be constructed of steel and brick and will be fire proof through out. entailing an expenditure when completed of over eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars Such factory employs a hundred and fifty men Tor inside operation, and some fifty yard men are employed to handle the ma tsrials and supplies. The consumption Of coal varies from eighty to one hun dfed tons per twenty-four hours The lime kiln. in connection with this fac tory. burns from thirty-five to forty tons of lime rock daily and consumes from three to four tons of coke Ow- ing to the high saccharine qualities of the beets which will be raised in this valley the factory win have a daily output of from sixty to seventy tons of white granulated sugar. The semi monthly pay roll will aggregate from six to eight thousand dollars
 It has already been shown that it would be necessary to operate some six hundred and fifty factories. such as the one described above. to produce the amount Of sugar annually imported in to this country. Of this number there are at present only forty-three factories in existence. Prior to 1891 there were only three beet sugar factories oper- ating in the United States. From the above it is apparent that there is no other single enterprise that VIII so ef- fectually promote the interests of this valley as a well-conducted sugar beet industry.

Denied by the Court Yet Party
 to the Case.

Washington. Sept. 27.-In the Schley court of inquiry today. a letter was read from Admiral Sampson, asking that he be allowed to be represented ir. court by counsel, but the court refused to grant the request on the ground that the court does not at his time regard you as a party to the case"

The testimony of both officers concerned the delivery of dispatches from Sampson to Schiey Both related conversations with the latter Captain McCalla gave in detail his part in arranging the code signal 5 with the Cuban insurgents and his communications with them near Cien- fuegos when he learned definitely that Cervera's fset Was not in the harbor there. He said Captain Chadwick Sampson's chief of staff. was the only person in Key West to whom was conn- municated the signal code.

AN EXCITING EPISODE
The Release and Rearrest of Witnesses
 in the Mcdonald Case.

The re-a,ions between the district attorneys office and Justice Burnett' S court have grown tense and. indeed. broken off yesterday afternoon by an incident consequent upon the killing of E. ID. Gardner, Ringing Bros train watchman. George Mcdonald. the slayer of Gardner. having been he:f to the grand jury. l.. E. Ewing and Will jam Numbers. the former of whom had a quarrel with Gardner. and both of whom were witnesses for the defense In the Mcdonald case. were also ar rested for the murder of Gardner on a warrant sworn out in Justice Gray's court. In default of bail they were re- turned to jail. where they had been detained as witnesses in the Mcdonald case. Ths' preliminary trial was set for o'clock this afternoon. Their att torneyS were Alexander and Bullard. who are also counsel for Mcdonald.
 About o'clock yesterday afternoon Judge kibbey of the district attorney s office, went to Justice Gray's court and on an order from the justice they were turned out of jail. Their at toineys had not been notified of an ac- ton in their case. and so far as the defendants themselves were concerned, were not interested in their move nlents. They were vitally interested in them though. as the main witnesses for the defense in the Mcdonald case.
 Being bo.h strangers here and hay ing nothing to keep them, as soon as they were discharged they set out for the M. & P. depot. intending to get out on the train which would leave in a of ;,, way learned of their release and Cap '.ain Alexander overlook them before they reached the depot. He induced them to come back with him on some pretext, and Colonel C. W. Johnstone swore out warrants for their arrest on a charge of disorderly conduct. They were again arrested and locked up.
 Judge kibbey heard of il early in the evening and ordered the sheriff to let them go. He declined to do so with out an order from the committing magistrate. Judge Kibbey then saw Justice Burnett and directed him to dismiss the case against them. Ths justice declined to make such an or der, and at this point both friendly and legal relations gave way.
 The justice told the acting district attorney that henceforth he would ig- nore the district attorneys office in the conduct of his court. except in cases in which the presence of the district attorney was necesSary, and then he would send for him. The msaning of this was that ths advice of the dis trict attorneys office would not be invited in the matters of issuing war rants and ordering dismissaIs. This attitude of Justice Burnett will all most certainly lead 10 a test of the law requiring justices in county seats to issue warrants only upon the ad- vice of the district attorney. The case woulS naturally come up in dis trict court upon the board of super visors refusing to pay claims for fees in criminal cases not authorized by the district attorneys office.
 The attorneys for Mcdonald de- nounce the release of Ewing and Num- bers as an attempt on the part of the prosecution to run witnesses out of the territory.

KEEP PLUGGING AWAY
England Accepts Reverses in South Africa Phi|OsophicaIIy
Kitchener Is Expected Now to Gather the Boers in One by One Until There Shall Be No More Left to Fight.

London, Sept. 2a.-The reverses in South Africa have not been accepted philosophically. but no panic has been created. Lord Kitchener's proclama- ton is now generally regarded as a tactical biunder. since tt was Inopera- tive as a menace and offered the Boer leaders leisure for reftting their col umns after a period of rest and making plans for a series of unexpected at taeks. The importance of these Brit ish reverses is neither minimized nor exaggerated. The moral is drawn that there must be no more proelamatiOns and no negotiations. but that the con ciusion must be faced that the subJuga- ton of guerillas will require many weeks and be attended with exception al difficulty The government is nat urally criticized for lack of resolution and strenuousness in the conduct of the war, but the truth is also discerned that the British army has become worn out and stale by the prolongatton of the conflict and that the officers and men are as readily drawn into traps and duped by Boers dressed in khaki as they were during the earliest stage Of the war This is the real source Of national humiliation. The British army has always been regarded as small. but extremely fit Tor any emer- gency- The loss of five guns. the sur render of four companies of mounted Infantry and heavy casualties to the I-2ncers. rushed by Commandant shuts. are incidents which impair national confidence in the army and cause intense mortificatlon
 English t-uthfulness is proof against self-deeeption. It lays bare the loss of military efficiency and the decline of prestige of the officers with stark naked scheme or army reorganization with shrugs of disdain as a hollow mockery Indeed, British pess imism goes to the verge of injustice to the army in an hour of self abasement. If does not take account of the extraordinary diff. hculty presented by war with the bravest and most dogged guerillas his- tory has ever known. and by the vast extent of territory which must be oc- cupied and protected Any army of regulars would be at a serious disad- vantage in stamping out the operations Of the Bosrs and be exposed to unex- peeted reverses. Brilliant as the ex- pioits of General Botfa and Command ant Shuts have been. Lord Kitchener has been doing thorough work The- bulk of the Boer fighting force is im- prisoned. and. while the hopes of the Dutch warriors will be re-kindIed tenn porarily. the process of wearing down their remaining resources has gone far and will be carried doggedly to the bitter end.
