EUROPEAN DILEMMA.

Consul General Mason Of Berlin de-
votes much time to the study of the
beet industry, and keeps this country
well informed as to the area planted,
the possible crop, and the amount
which may be exported. This is all
vitality interesting to all cane sugar as
the bounty fed beet sugar of, the Euro
pean countries has had a very serious
effect upon the market, and of course
it is specially interesting to us whose
main industry is cane sugar.
Although it is now nearly two months
since the convention abolishing, after a
prescribed date, export premiums on
sugar was signed at Brussels by all the
leading European nations except Rus
STA, it is not yet possible to estimate,
even approximately, it's effect upon the
area to be planted with beets this year,
or the probable sugar product and con-
sequent market prices of the coming
year. For the reason that the conven-
ton does not take effect until the LIST
of September, 1903, and that meanwhile
the different nations must each revise
and enact a whole code of laws and
regulations for the control of their SUI
gar industries, there is nothing to in
dlcate that the majority of beet grow
ers-at least in Germany-will modify
seriously their plans for this seasons
planting.
The announcement that the Brussels
convention, after so many previous
failures, really agreed upon a plan to
abolish export bounties came TO the
enemies of that measure with the shock
OF an unexpected surprise. The whole
proceeding was recognized as deci-
sugar conquest for the West Indies,
Hawaii, the Philippines, and Louisiana
over Continental Europe.
The opponents of the Brussels confer
ence have held meetings and hope to
defeat the results by action in the
Reichstag and the Bundsrath. Among
the general German public there is a
desire to let things be as they are, and
yet the argument against bounty fed
sugar is SO plain. The system which
the general public is so apathetic about
is one which in effect taxes sugar con-
sumers in Germany to pay the cost of
supplying the United States and Great
Britain with German sugar at about
half the price which-under the min
istration Of the Cartel-it costs at
home
Moreover the beet sugar industry in
Germany has not brought prosperity
to the laboring class, Whatever it may
have done, for the land owners, and
the capitalists who own the factories.
The scale of wages is frlghtfully low,
and condition of the lahQrers is virtual
perjury. In this may be found the

connected and half-heard sentences
from That somewhat erratic Instrument
would be hard to find. The two ex-
plosions said to have been reported by
Mr., Waldron, which sent forth a mass
of ashes and scoria are certainly some
thing new in the volcanic history of
Kilauea. Nevertheless the report may
be thoroughly correct, and there may
be an entire change going on in our
volcanic forces Such a case has oc-
cured in Kilauea, but it was a good
hundred years ago. We know so little
about volcanic force and the laws
which control its action, that anything
is possible, and no one can say that
any change is impossible. The volcanic
field is a fine one for imaginative
science.

cause of much of the social discomfort.
1t is recognized, however, that the
agreement signed at Brussels will bring
to European statesmen the end Of a
long financial nightmare; that it will
give relief to sugar consumers every
where and will require the Govern
ments of France, Germany, Austria,
Belgium and Holland to set the beet
sugar industry back upon it's own feet,
to stand or fail by its own merit and in
accordance with the measure of skill
and foresight that may be embodied in
the new legislation which viii replace
the present system. This legislation
will presumably be shaped to accom-
plish one or more of three principal re-
suits:
%. To sustain sugar production by
promoting its consumption at home;
(2). BY enhancing through CONNER
cial treaties sugar exports to countries
which-like Great Britain and the Unit
ed States-are more or less dependent
upon imported supplies, and
(3). BY restricting beet planting and
overproduction of sugar.
The United States beet industry
stands on it's own feet The United
States cane sugar industry stands on
it's own feet. We protect our indus
tries but we will never tax our own
people to supply people abroad with a
cheap article, while we are paying a
high price for our own consumption.
Germany has, heretofore, exported
something like two-thirds of her sugar
product, and the problem presented to
the German statesmen which will be
presented after the autumn of next
year will be complicated and serious.
The necessities of the sugar situation
will. in all probability, strongly intlu-
ence the new treaties of commerce
which have to be negotiated. The acute
stage, however, in the beet sugar in
dustry will not be reached until the
spring of next year.
Meanwhile, the overproduction goes

1901, the beginning of the present sea-
sons campaign, there had been worked
uL in German factories, down to the
end of March, 1902, 1899, $50 metric tons
of beet, against 10, 253, 9OS tons during
| the same period of the previous cam
paign, producing 1,995,799 tons of raw
sugar, against 1,7O6,O3O tons during the
preceding year.
But Germany as has already beer
pointed out is not the only European
country that has to make changes
France has to meet the situation, anC
France occupies a very prominent place
in the list of sugar beet producing
/ countries. Russia will not affect the
general market, because it can hardl!
supply it's own consumption. Russif

causing $4,000 damages. "A second
storm did considerable damage at
1880 a. M. Physicians from Pekin
Glassford and Mapleton were called to
care for the wounded, Houses and
barns were blown down in Groveland,

PRESIDENT AT WEST POINT.
Reviews the Cadets and Rewards One
of Their Comrades

West Point, N. Y, June 12.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt arrived at West Point
at 10 a. m. He was met at the sta
tion by Colonel Mills, superintendent
of the military academy, and his staff,
the academy band and a detachment of
cavalry. A salute of twenty-one guns
was fired as the president appeared at
the top of the hill. The cadets were
paraded in front of the barracks and
stood at attention as the president and
party passed on the way to the super
intendent's house. A review of the
corps of cadets followed Immediately.
A feature of this was the presentation
to Cadet Calvin Titus of a medal pro-
vided by congress for his bravery in
scaling the wall at Peking, China. The
order was read by Captain Rivers and
President Roosevelt pinned the medal
to the coat of the young man and as
he did so extended his congratula>
tions. After the review a reception
was held at Superintendent Mills
quarters. '-' ."-

TELEGRAPHIc MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, June 12.-There was
nothing in cables this morning OF gem
eral news to bring about any volume
of investment buying. But the con-
tinued talk of inside accumulation
makes the recently created short in
terest rather nervous. The market
advanced full cent before offerings
became sufficiently plentiful to allay
this feeling, which, by the way, devel-
ops on top of a three cent advance.
The outside has been short for some
little time and it is to force a cleaning
of this side and create a long interest
in July wheat that prompts this per-
sistent gossip. Armour is reported as
disposing of considerable July and TAX
ing on the September. Also contin-
entail buying of the September and De-
cember. Receipts, Minneapolis and
Duluth 164 against 319 last year, when
prices were scraping around the bottom
car famine was reported but it is
noted that empties are almost blocking
the yards of lines traversing the spring
wheat belt.
Corn trade is falling into that rut
which it was hoped would be avoided,
owing to small reserves. In the
meantime there is an accumulation of
commitments by both elements which
may continue for some time. The
sentiment is changing to the bull side
on corn, but damage periods are too re-
mote a factor for some time. 1t is
nevertheless true that bumper corn
crop is improbable and weather con-
ditions even half as bad as last year
will at least make present prices safe
footing for future operations We
look for more favorable weather
which should bring most fattering re-
ports up to July 4th to 10Th.
Oats are quite firm this morning.
Receipts but SS cars with an excellent
cash demand. There must be quite a
little short oats that the inside inter-
ests want covered before much further
decline. N. .}
Provisions after opening a shade
easier steadied on very light trade.
The run at yards of $4,000 with prices
slightly lower than yesterday. Ad-
vance in grains failed to induce much
short covering. Market appears
firm. On slight recessions we still
favor the buying Of the July option

Minneapolis, June 12.-Irwin A.
Gardner, special police officer ap-
pointed by Mayor A. A. Ames, has been

other sharpers from arrest by the po-
lice.

and Lincoln Crossman, two big mitt''
men who operated in Minneapolis from
November of last year to March. 1902.
According to the allegations of the

IS Behind THE BARS
Arrest Of Col. Lynch Causes Some
Disturbance in the British
House of Commons.
Started for London to Take His Seat
in Parliament When Arrested
for Treason.
Given Preliminary Hearing and Re-
manded for Further Examina-
fl tion on July 16.

London, June 12.-Colonel Arthur
Lynch, who fought with the Beers in
South Africa and who, in November
last, was elected to represent Galway
in the house of commons, was arrested
during the morning on his arrival at
New Haven from Dieppe, France.
Colonel Lynch, who was accom-
panied by his wife, was brought to
London and was afterwards taken to
the Bow street police station.
Subsequently Colonel Lynch was ar
raigned at the Bow street police court
on the charge of high treason and was
remanded until Saturday, June IA,
after formal evidence of his arrest had
been presented.
The prisoner, who was described on
the charge sheet as journalist sat
in the dock apparently unconcerned
until the magistrate asked him if he
had anything to say in reply to the
charge. Then he arose and replied al
most inaudibly, mo, SIR He did not
apply for bail and was taken to the
cells.
The Irish Nationalists in the house
of commons hacked the ministers on
the subject Of the arrest of Colonel
Lynch. They wanted to know why the
colonel had not the same right to sur
render as other burghers. The govern
ment leader, A. J. Balfour, replied
tersely:
He is not a burgher.''
John Redmond, the Irish leader, and
]. G. Swift MacNeill (Nationalist) then
turned to the secretary of state for
home affairs, Mr.. Ritchie, and asked
him why he had not fulfilled his minis
terial duty in informing the house of
Colonel Lynch's arrest on the charge
of high treason. Mr.. Ritchie denied
that it was his duty to so inform the
house, but when the Irish members ap-
pealed to the speaker the latter up
held the Nationalist contention that
the usual practice was to il torm the
house of commons of such az / cident
through the speaker.
Further questions were ruled out of
order and the subject was dropl> 4.
| Lieutenant Colonel John Phi No
Ian (Nationalist) applied durirg the
afternoon for the release of Colonel
! Lynch on bail, but the magistrate said
he had no power to grant the request

BEER FAMINE THREATENED.
Employees Of Chicago Breweries to Go
on Strike,

on strike.
Chicago, June 12.--Angered by the
refusal of the officers of the United
States Brewing company-more COM
monty known as the trust-to reinstate
thirty brewery drivers helpers, who
went on strike Monday, the other
unions connected with the firms are
preparing to call general strike. The
men are thoroughly organized and
their leaders claim that not a barrel Of
beer can be moved from the breweries
involved without their consent after
the strike call has been issued.
The helpers struck on Monday to
get higher wages. They were being
paid from 81 to $12 per week and
asked for parallel raise of $5. This
was refused and later the officers of
the brewing trades council-an organ
ization of all the unions engaged in the
handling of beer-met with the en-
ployers to talk the situation over.
They were told that the men would not
be given their demands and might not
be taken back at all.

bloomington, ILL.,, June 12-Death
and destruction followed in the wake
of the worst tornado that has ever
visited Central Illinois. The wind
wrought ruin and woe and the property
loss will be tens of thousands of dol
lars. There is no way really of esti-
mating theslo at present, owing to
the uncertainty as to the effect upon
the growing crops, which, it is feared
suffered heavily. The saddest feature
however, was the killing of three
young women, who were attending
dance at the town hall of Merna, a
small village ten miles east of this city,
There was a party of $50 young men
and women at the dance in the hall
when the tornado struck the building
about II p. m. Everybody rushed for
the door. A number Of young men
leld the doors to prevent the people
rom escaping fearing that they might
be injured or Killed if they got outside.
About half of them, However, escaped
and then the building collapsed. The
others were buried in the wreck
Three were killed and forty or fifty
others injured, some of them seriously.
The dead are: Miss Lena Jagam,
Mrs. Edward Martin and Miss Anna
Kelly. All are daughters of prom
inent farmers in the vicinity.
The bodies were horribly mutilated
by the heavy timbers,
Feared More Deaths viii Result.
Quite a number of young men and
women were taken from the ruins in
an unconscious condition and some of
them are still in that state and it is
feared there may be other deaths.
The storm struck Merna with the
greatest fury-greater than any other
place in the county. Many of the fin
est houses and barns were DESTROYED.
The storm reached Bloomington
about IL p. M, commencing with a
furious electrical display. Rain ac-
companied the wind and the business
district suffered severely. MANY plate
glass windows were blown in and the
stocks of goods badly damaged. Hun
dreds OF the best trees in the city were
broken off at the trunks and the
streets are almost impossible. Tele.
graph and telephone poles were broken
short off and the wires added to the
blockade. Buildings all over the city
were damaged, but no lives were lost,
nor was any one seriously injured. A
man standing on West Washington
street was blown 800 feet, ,but escaped
with only bruises. Wesleyan univer-
sity, just on the eve of commencement
week, had it's roof blown off and was
badly damaged by water.
The railroads report damaged tracks
due to Washouts and number Of
freight wrecks due to telegraph poles
falling on the tracks. So far as now
known no one was killed or injured.
Efforts are making to reach the
small towns in the county as it is be-
lieved several Of them must have suf-
fered more or less damage. No ia
talities occurred except at Merna, so
far as known.
