CHINA WAR NEWS.

nothing is known there officially re-
garding the report contained in a dis
patch from Washington that Prince
Ching and Iii Hung Chang have asked
the u. s. and other powers to induce
Russia to abandon the Manchurian
convention. The Pekin correspondent
of the LoSal Anzeiger gives statistics
as to the number of foreign Christians
killed during the troubles, exclusive Of
the Pekin siege. He enumerates 11s
Englishmen, 70 Americans, Swedes and
Norwegians, 20 Frenchmen, IL Bel
gians, 10 Italians and Swiss, and
German. 1t is estimated that 30, 900
native Christians persisted.
Friction has arisen at Tien Tsin be-
tween the British and the Russians
over piece of land alleged to belong
to the railway company and to have in
possession of the company for some

land is part of their new concession
and therefore Russian property. Mr..
Kinder, manager of the railway had
begun to make siding, but was stop
ped by the Russian authorities. He
appealed to Col. Mcdonald, who re-
ferred the matter to Gen. Barrow,
British chief of staff in Pekin, who re-
piled: Garry on the siding with
armed force, il necessary.

and punished in such manner as the
Chinese themselves see fit, except in
the case of six men, who the ministers
think should be excited.
The health of Ii Hung Chang is
again matter of grave consideration
to the ministers of the powers. Mr.
Rockhill, the American special COM
missioner, who visited Earl Iii on the
10th says he is a physical wreck and
apparently in a state of utter collapse,
although mentally as brilliant as ever

sugar beet supply Insufficient.

BY statistics recently compiled by
the census bureau on the manufacture
of beet sugar in the U. S., but one of
the 81 factories in the whole country
obtained sufficient beets in the last
census year and many were operated
to but small fraction of their capac-
ity. The bureau report says further:
In the census year more than one
third of the domestic sugar product
was obtained from beet and it was a
year of extremely unfavorable agricul-
tural conditions in beet districts The
factories could readily manufacture
more than two and one-half times the
quantity OF sugar produced if sup
piled with sufficient raw material.
Notwithstanding the very adverse ag-
ricultural conditions which resulted in
the small supply of raw material, the
value of the product was larger than
the expenditures. A number of fac
tories earned fair returns on the in
vestments, others paid expenses and
several lost heavily. The statistics
demonstrate that beet sugar manufac-
ture is commercial success in the

kings retirement from active business
life, and of his donation of $4,000, 900
for the endowment of fund for SUI
perannuated and disabled employees of
the Carnegie company. This benefac-
tion is by far the largest of the many
created by Mr.. Carnegie, and is prob
ably without counterpart anywhere
in the world. This fund will in no
wise interfere with the continuance of
the savings fund, established by the
company IS years ago for the benefit
of its employees. In this latter fund
nearly $1,000 900 of the employees saw
ings are on deposit, upon which the
company by contract pays per cent

TESTING OF DIAMONDS.

sious stones Are Genuine.
Although you may not be an expert
at precious stones, there are three
ways In which you can tell whether
a diamond is real or not.
First boil the stone In boracic acid
to preserve the polish upon the surface
of the stone. Then heat the jewel In
a gas flame and drop 1t into some cold
water while 1t Is hot. II II 10 q real
diamond II will stand the test without
cracking to pieces. II an imitation, the
stone will crack and crumble to pieces.
The second method Is as follows: Take
q cup Of water-a black cup, gutta
percha, or any dark stone cup is best
and drop two stones into the water.
the one diamond and the other,
which Is known to be ordinary crys-
tai. The diamond. IL true one. will
shine a clear white through the water
and will be clearly visible, while the
other stone will blend with the water
in such a way as to be almost imper-
ceptible In the water. Another plan
is to procure a surface OF striped pa
per-red and white stripes are the most
suitable-and pass the suspected stone
slowly over its surface. II the colors

riety of crystal and not diamond.
