daily, rs the Trust going to close the
beet sugar plants?'
There is nothing to indicate such con
clusion. On the other hand all the
evidence points to the contrary. The
Sugar Trust has wise old head. II
recognized early in the fight that the
beet sugar industry appeals to American
sentiment and that it is capable of limit
ess development.
Moreover, there is better money in it
than in the cane sugar of Cuba. True
the Cuban sugar may be produced at
slightly lower cost, but the byproducts
obtained in the manufacture of beet
sugar will prove as valuable if not more
so than the sugar itself.
In short time the sugar trust will
control the production of alcohol in the
United States and it will all be from
beet sugar molasses. 1t will also control
the vinegar product of the United States
since it has been demonstrated beyond
the possibility of doubt that the best
vinegar in the world can be produced
from the refuse from the best sugar fac
tories, and at a lower cost than from any
other product. There are several other
valuable commodities which can be pro-
duced from the refuse from the factories
in fact the development of byproduct
industries offers immense possibilities.
The Sugar trust magnates were not
slow to recognize the situation. By en-
tering the field they could control the
sugar market and thus regulate the price
and be on the ground floor as the indus
try develops.

RACE OF CRIPPLES ON
TRANS-CASPIAN SOIL
Local Conditions of Earth and Water
Held Responsible for Strange
Malformations.

ST PETERSBURG, Dec. Five re-
markable patients. who have arrived
from the Trans-Caspian territory, are
now inmates Of DR.. Turner'S establish
ment The heads and bodies of these
persons are perfectly normal, but their
hands and feet are not completely de-
veloped. They present the appearance of
grown-up persons upon whom the ex-
tremities of children Of twelve have
been fixed.
The patients are descendants of Rus
sian Cossacks who emigrated to the
Trans Caspian territory. II is stated
that half of these Cossacks ar edeform-
ed in a similar manner, a fact which
was confirmed By a physician sent by
the government to examine the pie
nomenon.
Five persons were in consequence sent
to St. Petersburg for the purpose Of as
certaining the cause of their remarkable
defofTnities. It is believed that the local
conditions Of soil and water ara respon-
sible for this strange malformation,
which is quite peculiar to the district.

HYDR0CYANIC ACID GAS
KILLS HOUSE INSECTS

The recent successful use by DR.. l.
D. Howard Of hydrocyanic acid gas IN
destroying household insects. expert
ments with which were conducted in
Washington houses. is confirmed by DR..
Fernando Lopez. Of Mexico. An alb
stract Of a paper by DR.. Lopez on this
subject is published in the latest report
OF the Public Health and Marine Hos
uital Service. The experiments OF DR.
L,Opcz showed that by the use Of this
Gas Ia a closed room not only insects,
ont also rats and mice, were killed.
An interesting part OF the paper bs
DR.. Lopez deals with tho possibility o.
typhoid or tubeIcie bacilli being spreao
the theory of the spread of malaria and
yellow fever by mosquitoes and plague
by fieas and rats and mice.

TWO MAJOR LEAGUES
LIKELY TO BE MERGED
Consolidation of National
and American Planned.
JOHN T. BRUSH IN THE WAY
New York President Is Opposed to the
Move, But He Nay Be
0verruled.

CINCINNATI. Ohio, Dec. THAT
the plan effecting a consolidation of the
National and American leagues is not
dead, but is being nursed on a bottle
OF the most healthful kind of common
sense milk, has been evidenced in this
city since yesterday. A man who has
a large interest in one Of the big league
clubs is authority for the statement that
there is much talk of consolidation in
both leagues and that while there is
little prospect OF a coalition OF the two
leagues being effected for the season
of 1904, there is every reason to believe
that an amalgamation will take place
before the season OF 1905 IS inaugurated
II know ii to be a fact" said this
man, that during the recent visit of
President Robert Hedges. of the ST.
Louis Americans, TO the Mound City,
the Robisons had several conferences
with him regarding a consolidation of
their interests there.
RobisonS Are Active.
THE Robisons, owners of the ST. Louis
National League franchise, are particu-
larly anxious to arrange so that there
shall be only one club in st. Louis. Mr..
Hedges also IS favorable to the project,
and both sides now are discussing plans
whereby there can be a consolidation of
the two clubs.
ITO do this means consolidation in
other cities. With the ice broken in
St Louis and with two of the big men
in the National and American respect
lively agitating the matter and having
practically come 10 an agreement, IL
will not be a hard matter TO arrange
for the merging of clubs in other cities
onizing each other.
Brush Opposes Merger.
''The greatest trouble will be in New
York. where John T Brush controls
the situation. At present he has the
upper hand. and, while he does not
figure In the councils Of the. National
League as he formerly did, in a fluan-
cial way he is the biggest man in the
National for the reason that his club
does the largest business of all in the
organization.
1T would remain TO be seen how Mr.
Brush would welcome the advent of Bar
Johnson as head of the consolidated
leagues, that being part of the amalga'
nation scheme; and also how johnson
would bury his long standing hatred
for Brush. However, stranger bedfel
lows have been made in the past. anC
there is no reason why these two should
not make up. The plan is being quietly
bat persistently agitated. and the veal
1908 at the latest will see it carriee
out"
