TOO MUCH WATER.
British Railway Shareholders Have
Cause for Alarm.

New York, Sept. 6.-SharehOlders in
the English railways have been
frightened by an article by an Ameri-
can, just published in the Times,
throwing doubt on the solvency OF the
railway systems of this country, says a
Tribune distapch from London. A
large number of selling orders were re-
ceived on the stock exchange. The
British railway shareholder has to face
an ugly prospect, and he is by no means
free from responsibility for the situa-
ton in which he has become involved.
The charge of over capitalization, which
has been SO frequently brought against
the British railway companies, certain
ly is exaggerated, but it has a consider
able foundation of truth. The share
holder is always on the side Ola liberal
division of profits when improvements
are required, not to obtain an increase
of trade, but merely to maintain the
existing position. Thus fresh capital
is constantly being sunk in an outlay
which ought to be met out of the reve-
nue. of shareholders.
influence, TOO, is generally thrown III
to scare against proposals for bringing
the rolling stock and general equipment
up to date, and demand is now made
for some means of cutting down ex-
penses and increasing profits.
A committee of the London and
Northwestern shareholders. represent
ing 100000 pounds of stock, have
been holding conferences with the board
in order to devise feasible plan. The
line which it is proposed to adopt is an
agreement between the various trunk
systems in order to lessen the competi-
ton. 1t is probable, however, that the
chief result of the agreement will be in
creased rates, already too high, thus in
juring the general trade of the country

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
La Grande Farmers Consider Ii
More Profitable Than Wheat.

Pendleton, Ore, Sept. 5.-A remark
able increase in the sugar beet industry
of the Grand Ronde is reported by Sup
erintendent Z. A. Akerly, of the La
Grande sugar factory, whose report
states that there are ,l25 contracting
growers this season as compared with SO
last year and SO in 1900. The average
acreage titled by each contractor is
about 90. The average estimated in
come from each acre for this season 8
crop is $3.50. Farmers are just be-
ginning to pull the crop.
The La Grande factory started work
this week on the residue of syrup from
last season. In two weeks, by which
time this work will be finished, there
will be ZOO tons of beets in the sheds,
and then an uninterrupted run of 100
days will commence The success OF
sugar beet culture in the Grande
Ronde is closely watched all over Wash
ington and Oregon, with view to es-
tablishing the industry in other places.
The La Grande farmers report it three
times as profitable as wheat raising.

INCREASE CAPACITY.
Standard Oil Company Branching
Out in Seattle.

Seattle, Sept. 5.-The Standard Oil
Company has awarded contract for
the construction at Seattle of the largest
warehouses and storage tanks on the
coast, outside of San Francisco. In
many respects, especially as regards
modern or improved appliances, the
Seattle plant will be the best owned by
the company in the West.
The company has acquired property
at Whatcom street and Railroad ave-
nues, not far from the Centennial mill.
The two streets at this point are $50
feet in width and the company has four
and quarter acres in its plat, so it
will be removed from all buildings in
that part of the city. Officials of the
company declare that their plant is a
low fire risk, but some property owners
are inclined to think differently. and
the company seems to have satisfied
everyone that even though fire should
occur at its plant no danger to nearby
industries would result
There will be four new buildings in
the Standard Oil Company's new plant,
though they will be covered by single
roof The capacity of tanks owned by
the company at Seattle will be increas-
ed from 800, 900 to more than 900, 900

SUlTANS DEFIANT.
Barbarians of Bucalog and Maciu
willing to Fight.

Washington, Sept. 5.-The war de-
partment mail advices from the Philip
pines say that the sultans of Bucalog
and Maciu still declined to be conciliat-
ed. The latter replied in message to
Col. Baldwin that he had no desire to
be friends with any nation, and de-
family said: IF you don't want war
leave the country at once
Col. Baldwin, who is in command of
a small force in the provinces mention
ed, has lately been trying to open nego-
tiations with the sultans, with the OBJ
ject of obtaining an admission of alleg-
lance to the United States government.
Messengers sent to him with overtures
of friendship brought back the informa-
ton that the dusky monarchs are max
ing warlike preparations. with the evil
dent intention of wiping the American
republic from the earth.
The authorities at Manila are made
uneasy over the prospect of war with
the barbarians, and the tribes in ques-
ton, if they choose, can make as des-
perate a resistance as did the inhabi-
tants of Luzon and Mindanao. Their
numbers are considerable, and they are
said to be decidedly warlike. The ma
ture of the country is also extremely
favorable to prolonged defensive cam
paign.
The news il particularly unwelcome
in Washington, as the administration
had settled into the belief that the
Philippines troubles were practically
over.

STARTLING STATEMENT
J. ". lvey Accuses Soldiers in
the North of Cold BIooded
Murder.

Seattle, Sept. Al. W. Ivey, former
collector of customs of Alaska, startled
the chamber of commerce by the state
ment that the United States soldiers at
ST. Michael were guilty not only of the
grossest cruelty, but of murder besides.
In the course of his remarks Mr.. lvey
referred to the military in Alaska in
the most scathing terms. He stated
that the soldiers protected only the big
corporations and used their best efforts
to drive out the individuals. He cited
a case at ST. Michael where poor man
and wife came and camped on the
beach. An officer appeared and order
ed them to leave. The man was
sick and powerless, nevertheless the
officer told them they had to get out
The surf was running high and the
woman objected. 1t was of no avail.
The two were allowed to get life pre-
servers and pushed off into the heavy
sea.
A few days later the woman's body
was washed ashore. The mans body
was never found.
For half an hour Mr.. Ivey spoke, CIV
ing illustration after illustration OF the
brutality of the soldiery. He told OF
many instances, which, he says, ne is
prepared to back by affidavits, where
the soldiers we're guilty of the utmost
cruelty.
Mr.. Ivey made the remark that the
American flag had been scoffed at IN
Alaska on account of the poor protec,,
tion afforded the lovers of the Stars ana
Stripes.
DR.. L. T. Mitchell, who was a stan
surgeon in the army, stated that MI
Ivey's accusations were absolutely true;
Further than that DR.. Mitchell saiu
that he knew personally of the crime
and that he could prove it. lie sa'u

sponsible for the murder.

EVADED THE LIGHTS.
Ships of Attacking Fleet Passed the
Forts Unseen.

Newport, r. l., Sept. 6.-Two cruls-
ers and three battleships OF Admiral
Higeinson fleet ran the guns OF Fort
Adams and Wetherill at night, getting
within .broadside range for all their
guns before they were sighted by the
searchlights of the forts.
The fact that the Brooklyn got to the
mouth OF the harbor before it was
picked MP by the searchlights is consld-
cred by naval men here to be victory
for the fleet. When, af1oat and ashore,
the cannonading was at its height the
scene was one of gandeur. The racket
woke up Newport as it was never
aroused before. The gunners IN the
forts, after working the big guns for
few minutes, had to desert them and
quickly manned the secondary batter
les. The rapid firing guns made as
great a din as the big guns, and II any
thing made the picture a llveller one.
The five vessels came in under Fort
Adams until within short range of
the torpedo station, and then they APP
peared to anchor. The firing stopped
and it was supposed the great battle
was ended. In half an hour the ships
suddenly steamed out of the harbor IN
the same order as coming in, the Brook
Ign leading. The ships did not fire
gun, but Fort Adams gave them few
broadsides. and when the Brooklyn and
Olympia were abreast of Beaver tail
light, Fort Grebe opened for The first
time tonight. The fleet escaped, if such
was the idea, toward Block Island.
