Position of the Engineers.
An lntcre-etlni; rumor ipportcrt from
New York today was that circular let
ters had been rent to all of the presl
elcntss ef labor unions by tho Amalga
mated association asking what each
would or could elo to assist tho Bttel
wot leers In their strike. One of the
replies, which, It la Ktld, vvns idcelved
from P. M. Arathui, head of the liroth
erhood of l.cieiun'nlvu 1hiRln'ori. it Is
alleged that In this icply President Ar
thur said that his organization held
contracts with thu va ileum railroads.
That they also wero bound to move tho
I'ulted Ptates mall. That the niganlza
atlon could make no distinction be.
twetn tho United Statea Steel Corpora
tion and Individual shlpp'i.
Llttlo Work Is Done.
Tho ttrlliorti make ths claim that
-rv little tutual worh has been done
by the combine In any of Its plants
since thu sttlko begap, and that what
product has ben turned out hns bern
of an Inferior chat actor. Notwith
standing this, the steed officials ele
claie themhelves well pleased with the
condition of nffalts, and say nit the
mills started are vvoiklng satisfactor
ily and turning out good product.
The postponement of the attempt to
stmt the Demmler plant of the Ameri
can Tin Plato company until nevt
week, Hip otliclals say, was for the
put pose of putting the plant In per
fect order before tho men starteel to
work. They say plenty of men will be
on hand when the time comes to oper
ate the mill.
Attention was called to a former
statement made by the otliclals of tho
Kiiporatlon that while delays would
neecsarlly occur In operating th Idle
plants, that It would not deter the of
ficials from proceeding along the samp
lines, and that they were prepared to
spend all the time and money neces-s-iry
to tight the union and make all
of the plants non-union In the end.

BEET SUGAR

THE GREAT POSSIBILITIES
Increasing Belief That the United
States, Which Consumes One-Quarter
of tho World's Pioduct, Will
Find Its Total Supply at Home A
British Consul's Report.
n.v Kvc.tuire Wire from The Ai.eoel'iteel Prcw.
Washington. Aug. 21. The growing
belief that tho I'nltod States will
shottly he able to produce from beets
thp $100,000,000 worth of sugar which
her people now annually Import, seems
to bo shared by liritlsh Consul Wyncl
ham, who has given the subject cloc
attention, and teported iton It to his
government. The following Is an ex
tract ftom his teport, which has just
reached the treasury bureau of statis
tics. "The production of beet sugar In tho
T'nlted States Is rapidly Increasing,
and In the Chicago consular district
there me four factories In tho state of
Illinois, thtee In Nebraska and three In
Colorado; tltosp In Nebraska and Col
orado belong to the American Heet
Sugar company, and are at Grand
Junction, Jlocky Fold and Sugar City,
and when fully completed will employ
thousands of hands.
"Statistics Indicate that the United
Stales consumes more sugar than any
other nation, or nppiolmately one
quarter of the whole of the world's
produce. The conditions of soil, ell
mate and other advantages ate quite
as good In the Unltpcl Statps, and es
pecially In Colorado, Nobiaska and Illi
nois, for thp development of th" beet
ns In any of thp countiles of Kuiopo
or Asia. The world's production and
consumption of sugar Is now about 8,
2."0 000 tons per annum, two-third of
w hlch Is produced from beet and only
onc-thltel fiom cane, while the normal
consumption Is estimated as lnci eas
ing at the late of 230,000 tons je.uly.
"The success utteudllig the cultiva
tion of stlbar beets In this district has
pioved that It may be made a profitable
and successful Investment. A large
factory has been built nt Rocky Ford,
Col., which cost 200,000 to build nnd
(quit i. It Is propohed to have it toady
for the ci op of the coming seat-on. To
supply It the fat mots in the vicinity
have contracted to glow 8,000 ncres of
beets a year for five jears. From tests
made they estimnte their beets will
j leld l.'i to IS per cent, of sugar The
factory, when tunning at Its full ca
pacity, will consume dally 1,000 tons of
beets, which will eonveit Into about 100
tons of refined sugar of the highest
purity. Tho beets reach maturity with
a high percentage, and seldom go below
1.1 per cent , 12 per cent. Is taken ns tho
basis of buying beets at the fac tory.
"The beets are grown by the farmers
under conttact with the factory, and
peld for according to the saccharine
contents detei mined by hpmli-.il tests
made of samples taken from the wag
ons at the tiuiP of delivery. In ad
dition the factory contiols about .",00Q
acies of land. Most of tho land will bo
farmed by tenants, but ftnly a portion
of each farm Is devoted to beets each
year, dowers sell their beets based
upon the sugar contents. The testi
somewhat tesemble the assaying of cue
from the mines. Selling upon this
basis encourages better farming and
the talslng of better beets. It Is tho
only fair way, both to the raiser nnd
tlie manufacturer.
"A general estmale of the cost of
const! uctlon, cost of opeiatlon and
geneinl l emits to bo counted upon, of
beet sugar factories In this dlstilct as
taken ftom Hip Itocky Ford plant
places the Reneral avei ago of siiRar
In the beet nt 1-' per cent. So far
as the Atkansas valley In Colorado Is
concerned this pcicontiiRo Is being
largely exceeded, the minimum pcr
ccntiiRO of htigar being about II per
cent , while thp maximum has reached
23 per cent., with a coctllclent of pur
ity ranging ftom SO to 93 per cent. In
stating these results reference l es
pecially made to the fa-ctoty at Itocky
Fold, built and worked by the Ameri
can Heet Sugar company, a Now Yoil;
corporation, which vvoiks two factor
ies In California, and thiee In Nebias
ka, the one at Itocky Foul being their
fifth. The exppits In chatgp of this
last factoi y all express surprise nt the
results of this tlrst campaign, and
they have become thoroughly con
vinced that this valley (Arkansas val
ley, Col.), Is the Ideal sugar-producer,
thanks to Its pcmuble climate, ample
supply of water for ltrlgntlon, cheap
fuel nnd Hmefitone, and an unlimited
extent of available land for boot culture-.
It Is expected that the samo
company will etect ono or more fac
tories In addition to tho one at Hocky
Ford, one to be built further east nnd
the other west of Rocky Foiel.
"An an exnmple of the quality of
the sugar beets produced upon this
land It muy bo mentioned that so far
six carloads of beets fiom one Held
havo been tested with results as fol
low: One caiload, liifi per cent.;
three carloads, 18. S per cent., and two
carloads, I'O.l per cent."

By Kveluslie Wire (rom The Vssochted Press.
Constantinople, .ug. 2.1. The French
nnitinssailor, M. i'nr.-tnns. toel-iy sent
a letter to the sultan peisonally, In
forming him that he would leave Con
stantinople with the entire stnff nf the
cmliatsy If the matters In dispute
were not -ottled Immediately. Tho
lettet ha the natiiie of an ultimatum.
It accoids thu sultan the Inlefest per
iod within which to comply with the
demands.
Pails. Aug. 23. While- the cilllclals of
the Fiench foielgn ntllcp decline to
confirm or deny the pi ess despatches
from Couatiintlnoplo announcing the
French ambassador has tent the sul
tnn n letter which has the nature of
an ultimatum, they admit having re
ceived it telegiom from M Coiwtnns.
That has been laid before the council,
now sitting at the Klysee palace.
Thtee of, the inlnisteis were absent.
The piemler. M. Waldcck-Kousscau;
the minister of agriculture, M Dupuy.
and the mlnlstet of public workf, M.
Baudin, aie not In Pails,
It has been learned that M. Constans
htih been given n free hand. Any step
he flndu ptoper to take will be fully
endotsed.

If he deemc It necee-sary, will with
draw thp French embassy from Con

ish ambassador, who Is ncnv In Swit
zerland, will be notified not to leturn
to Paris, in which case Munlr Bey
will piobahly withdraw the legation
to Berne, as he Im also acci edited, as
minister lo Switzerland.
No naval deinonstiatlon Is contem
plated at this time, but the sultan will
pi nhnhly be seriously inconvenienced
by the closure of the Turkish embassy
here, which Is the centie of the es
pionage maintained to watch the mem
bers of the young Turk's party and
other disaffected Ottoman subjects and
voluntary exiles who moke their head
quarters In Paris, and who will have
.1 fiee hand If nil diplomatic relations
between France and Turkey are bioken
off.
It has been suggested that the
Fiench government Kstie orders for
the Bourse to tease dealing In Turkish
secuiltles. it Is not likely that step
will be taken It would Injuie French
holders of Tuiklsh bonds. The price of
the Turkish gioup of securities fell on
