Minnesota Sugar.

The Minnesota Sugar company's
plant at St. Louis Park will produce
20 per cent more beet sugar this year
than it did last, when the output was
about 100000 pounds.
This is the prospect now facing the
management, and it is a prospect
made possible by the improvement in
the class and experience of the far
mers who are raising beets this year
and by an increase in the acreage
given over to sugar-beet planting.
Last year the 100000 pounds of
beet sugar produced by the Mime
sofa Sugar company came from 5000
acres of beets; this year $3.50 acres
have been planted, and both the land
and the manner of cultivating it have
improved.

TONNAGE GROWING,

Collector Z. M. Willcuts has just is
sued his annual report on vessel tom
mage enrolled at the port of Duluth,
which now leads all other lake: ports
in this respect. There is a total of
337 boats enrolled here and paying
taxes here. They have an aggregate
gross tonnage of 493,620 gross tons.
This is a gain of forty vessels and
about 10000 gross tons for the year.
Duluth is the port of hail for a ma
jority of the largest and best boats
on the lake. The fact tina. all this
tonnage is enrolled here is due to
the rate Of taxation and is practically
all new business since 1897.

Climate and Crop Bulletin.

Climate and Crop BulleClns.
There were local showers on the 9TH
and 9Th, and much more widely distri-
buted showers and thunderstorms on
the 9th; these rains wer light in the
northern half of the state, and heavy
in parts of the South and middle West.
The rains of the 9th were accompanied
by high winds in region apparently
extending from the upper part OF the
Minnesota valley to the exteme south
east corner of the state; some damage
wos done to windmills and light out
buildings, and much grain was blown
down. There was severe, rain,
wind and hail storm in the extreme
Southwest on the 7th, with some dam
age. -;
In the northern half of the safe rain
is much needed, the showers of the
previous week having been dried up by
the high warm winds of the 9TH and
sth. The local showers of the week
have benefited the crops where they
fell, but elsewhere there is very little
growth going on. In many fields the
wheat, oats and barley are thin, and
they are heading with short straw.
Farley fax is in bloom. The late
sown millet is slow in starting, and as
the hay crop is light, a deficiency OF
winter feed is feared.
In much of the southern half of the
state the low lands are wet or flooded,
so that wild hay cannot be cut, and
and the improvement of grains, corn
and potatoes is slow. On the high
lands the abundant moisture has
caused rank growth of wheat, oats
barley and the grasses, with large
areas of grains badly lodged. Some rye
and barley are in shock; winter wheat
wheat is nearly ripe and errly oats are
beginning to ripen.

Costly FreiEht Wreck,

Lamar, COL, July pa costly
freight train wreck occurred on the
Santa Fee Monday night four miles
west of Caddoa, Col. A train COM
posed of 80 cars of California fruit
was running at speed of IS miles
per hour, when the fourteenth car
from the engine Jumped the track, fol-
lowed by II others. The strange thing
about the accident was that the last
loaded car and caboose stayed upon
the track. The loss will be very
heavy, as most of the freight will be
an entire loss. Traffic over this part
of the main fine was delayed several
hours. No one was injured.

Return to Washington.

Paris, July 21.-A representative Of
the press has had an interview with
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa-
dor to the Unite Estates, who is here
with his daughel spending part of his
leave of absence in Paris, where he
has an apartment near the Champs
Ulysses. He said: 1T is not correct,
as cabled, that arranged, with Secre-
tary Hay, before my departure, the
question of open ports in Manchuria.
1t is true that MIR. Hay called on me
June %, but it was a friendly visit
and entirely unofficial. The Man
churian ports were mentioned during
our conversation, but no definite ar
rangement was completed. The con-
,versation was quite cordial, courteous
and friendly, but it did not 60 beyond
that expect, however, that mutual
ly satisfactory understanding regard
ing Manchurian questions will even
tually be reached between the two gov
ernments. But, I repeat, no such ar
rangement has been made by me.
What has been done by the charge
d'affaires, since my departure, IA days
ago, l do not know.
Regarding the Israelite petition, the
United States government already
knew that such petition would not
be received. No such petition would
be received by any Independent state.
The United States, first of all, would
not consent to any foreign interfer-'
ence in It's domestic affairs. Beyond
this, do not know anything about the
matter. My relations with the United
States government have always been
pleasant and cordial during my long
stay at Washington. My present alb
sence from my post is due to the fact
that I am taking a much needed holi-
day. I did not see the president be-
from Washington. saw Mr.. Hay, as
stated, but our interview was not OFF,
cial; but it was extremely pleasant. I
expect to return to my post as soon
as my leave expires, which will be in
three months"
Count Cassini will remain here ten
days longer and then will go to st.
petersburg.

Wilhelm is not entitled to vote for
members Of the reichstag. Nor is he
eligible because he has the right to
decide on the question of dissolving
the reichstag. The crown prince has
no right to vote; but he may be
elected member of that body.
