SHIFTING THE BLAME.

HERE is A VAGUENESS about the
L statement made by Secretary of
the Interior Hitchcock relative to the
Usage oil lease in the Indian Territory
that the public would like very much
to see cleared away. There is no
vagueness, however, about the attempt
of Mr.. Hitchcock to saddle upon Hoke
Smith, secretary of the interior in the
last Cleveland administration, full re-
sponsibility for the lease.
TO explain: In March, 1896. Secretary
Smith granted TO a corporation known
as the Indian Territory Illuminating
Oil company the exclusive right to
prospect for oil and gas throughout the
100000 acres of the Usage Indian res
erVation for a period of ten years This
lease was described as zone of the most
gigantic monOpolies ever issued for an
individual or company by any secre-
tary of the interior. The original lease
was nothing short of a public scandal.
Now comes the milk in the cocoanut.
This original lease should expire next
year. But it appears that il has been
extended, by whom and for how long
- NAAiiC dOCo AAOl appear Inc extension
could not have been made by a Demo-
cratic secretary, however. for there has
not been Democratic secretary of the
interior since March f. 1897 Cornelius
n. Bliss was Mr., Smiths immediate
successor. The present secretary went
into Office Dec. y. 1885,
If the lease was extended, as indi-
Gated. the extension must have been
made by Mr.. Bliss or the now highly
virtuous and excited Mr.. Hitchcock.
Why, if these gentlemen considered it
such a criminal affair, did they per
NIT the eXtensiOu?~ This is a question
they must answer before the public
will have entire confidence in their good
faith If it was a bad lease for Smith
to grant. was it not a bad lease for
Smiths successors to extend?
We have no defense to offer for Mr.
Smith An eX parte statement of the
case indicates that he made a grievous
error. But all the blame is not his
and the attempt by Hitchcock to saddle
it upon him is too cowardIy for words
1t is the act of a small-bore politician
who has no business at the head of

concrete, in addition to being abso-
lutely fireproof. have the additional adj
vantage Of rapid construction. Struc-
lures six and seven stories high have
been rushed to the roofing point in
from 80 TO 120 days. Any sort of orna-
mentatioa that may be desired Is cas-
lily obtained. Instead of waiting for the
tedious process of carving stone into
the shapes and figures wanted, the
concrete is rapidly moulded according
to the wishes of the builder and within
a very brief period of time it is harder
than any stone.
One more advantage is its cheapness
1t has been found that where stone
costs % cents per cubic foot cement
concrete can be worked into a building
at the rate of Is cents per cubic foot
And the latter is in every way more de-
sirable. Concrete i,as been used in
building i'm Europe for some years. The
Journal and Engineer tells us that its
use as building material is rather the
discovery of a lost art than a new art
for the Pantheon of Rome and many of
the buildings which have endured
through ages are of concrete, and for
all architectural purposes it possesses
points of superiority in strength, dura-
bility, and resistance to FIRE over other
materials now used"
1t will be surprising if this country
does not soon enter upon an era Of
concrete construction.

1T is as though the rooms had. been

fact, while stone viii crack and brick

two tons. and in twenty-four hours the

BY-PRODUCTS OF
SUGAR IN FRANCE

United States Consul Thornwell
Haynes. at Rouen, France. has forward
ed this report to the Department of
Commerce and Labor regarding BY
Products from Sugar Factories"
1.-Two of the by-products Of sugar fac
tories are utilized in France-the pulp
from the presses and the drained ire
acle, or the molasses from which no
more sugar can be obtained by the or
binary processes of disqualification. The
pulp serves as food for animals, and
is sold to farmers at 6 francs (S116) for
LOCO kilograms (2,2G4.62 lbs.) or about sc
per 100 pounds. 1t is preserved in silos,
being mixed with beet-root leaves. The
drained treacle is sold to distilers or to
foreign 'Sucreries.' which are operated
for the purpose of extracting the small
amount of sugar remaining. In France
there are two Of these 'sucreries.
THE French fiscal system is such
that it is more to the sugar makers
interest to sell the drained treacle to
the distiller than to submit it to the
osmose, lime. baryta, or strontian proc
ess, all of which flourish in Germany.
This treacle can be employed in very
limited quantities in industry, such as
the manufacture of wax, dyeing prep
arations, molds for castings, ordinary
bonbons, gingerbread, etc.
Sugar factories produce abundant
quantities of residuary water which the
government obliges the proprietors 10
purify. This publication, when done
intelligently. is effected most economic
ally by the GailIet and Huet process,
which yields lime sediments for phos-
phate. The process as employed at the
central sugar factory of Flavy-le- Mar
tel IS as follows: a large cask is filed
with a solution of chloride of lime,
which, by a regulated opening or spigot.
is allowed to run into a basin contain
ing the water to be purified. The mix
ture is allowed to run for some dis
lance when whttewash is allowed to
drop into it regularly from a mixer. BY
this method lime sediments extremely
rich in phosphate elements are obtain
ed.
In the manufacture of sugar from
cane in the French colonies there is a
by-product called 'bagasse,' which we
know as pulp. This fiber. analogous
to that of wood, is employed as a
combustible in heating the generators
of the factory, as well as for steam de-
veIopn1ent when necessary 1t is first
dried, a process which in wet weather
could become very costly. but there are
special furnaces for the drying of the
green pulp as soon as it comes from
the mill"
