Abroad 70 de- grees is considered the highest tempera- ture In which beets can he grown, but experiments here have already shown that they can be produced in latitudes wliere a lower degree of heat is experienced. One rather remarkable fact that has been drawn out since the Secretary began the distribution of beet seed is that the peo- ple of the United States are not willing to depend upon European data as con- clusive in regard to the character of soil and climate in which beets can be grown successfully. In Missouri at least 500 farmers have been supplied with beet seed at their own request, and propose to see whether they cannot raise beets that will yield above 12 per cent of sugar. Missouri has been re- garded, and it has been so stated, as tod far south to successfully raise this product, yet that has not deterred the farmers of that state in their determination to make the experiment. The Carolinas and Texas are far beyond the belt in which it has been thought possible to make beet cukure for sugar profitable. Yet in North and South Carolina and Texas hundreds of farmers will this spring plant the beets and will have a portion of the product tested to determine its value for. sugar- making. They cannot be satisfied regard- ing the prospects of their communities as good locations for beet culture until their product has been examined and the De- partment of Agriculture has informed them whether or not the percentage of sugar secured is great enough to warrant beet culture in their localities for that pur- pose. Between six and seven tons of beet seed have now been distributed all over the country. Most of it, of course, being sent to the northwest and north of Mason and Dixon's line. Packages of beet seed con- tain half a pound, and one, two or three of there are sent to applicants. This means that 15,000 people have been supplied with the seed, and the reports received by the department seem to indicate that all of them will at least make an effcrt at beet culture. They will all send twenty-five pounds of the product to the experiment station of their own state, where the same will be tested in order to give them the result. This will make one of the most extensive experiments in agriculture that has ever been attempted in the United States. It is confidently believed by many people that the result will be the establish- ment of a large number of factories for sugar production from the beets, and that it will not only result in saving a part, if not all, of the $1,000,000 sent abroad to pay for sugar, but will also cause an enormous expenditure of money for the factories, each of which will cost $200,000. Secretary Wilson is earnestly in favor of having the tariff bill, now before the Sen- ate, provide for the introduction of beet seed into this country free of duty. Un- der the McKinley law there was a tax of 20 per cent on all seeds, while pnder the Wilson bill the duty was only ten per cent. The bill as passed by the House of Rep- resentatives provides a higher duty than prevailed under the McKinley law. Sec- retary Wiison argues that we permit the introduction of blooded stock for breed- ing purposes into the United States free of duty, while the same reasons for such @ course would apply to the importation of all rare seeds. Especially is this true now, for the reason that at the present time beet ef a kind to grow sugar-pro ducing bects cannot be raised in this coun- try. in Germany and other parts of Europe systematic experiments for the production of such seeds have been carried on for twenty-five years, with the result that the seed produced there today will give better results when grown in this country tran any seed that can be secured here. A good many farmers in the United States are in- clined to think that they can grow beets from seed they themselves raise, but the Department of Agriculture is satisfied that this is not the case, and that the greatest economy for the present will be used by the investment of sufficient money to buy the necessary seed from abroad. In the meantime, the experiment stations are working under instructions from the Secre- tary in the cultivation of beet seeds, so that it is hoped within a few years to produc= such seed in this country of a high class. But it will take a number of years to do this, and in the meaatime the seed will be imported from abroad, tnd in the meantime the Secretary thinks the seed should be admitted free. ———_-e+___ THE FLORIDA SENATORSHIP. Complicated Condition of the Fight to Sueeeed Mr. Call. Speclal Correspondence of The Evening Star. TALLAHASSEE, Fla., April 25, 1897. The Florida senatorial situation is more complicated than ever. Since the ballot- ing began each candidate seems better satisfied that he is to be the victor, and there about a dozen ef such confident can- didates, the more prominent being Senator Wilkinson Call, whose term expired March 4; ex-Chief Justice Raney, Col. W. D. Chip- ley of Pensacola, R. A. Burford, Circuit Judge W. A. Hocker and Supreme Court Justice M. H. Mabry. There are others in the race, others who have been voted for, but who have not yet shown much strength either in number of votes or in being turked of to any extent as probable victors. Among the latter may be mentioned Rep- resentative R. W. Davis and ex-State Treasurer Crill. The republican members held a caueus, The Florida legislature consists of one nun~ dred members, but only three of them are republicans, and all three of them are sil- ver republicans. Yet those three coma not decide on a candidate for the United States Senate, so they held a caucus. ‘This caucus was not long a deadlock, for two members agreed to support ex-United States Marshal McKay and the third mem- ber was defeated even if he had called for the two-thirds rule. ‘The democratic candidates are all Chi- cago platform democrats. Senator Call is an original free silver man, and so is Mr. Burford. Judge Raney sat on the supreme court for so long that his legal opinions are better known than his politica: views, but he was quick to accept the Chicago platform. Judge Hocker, too, has tong done judicial service in the fifth circutt, and stands with his party on national is” sues. Col. Chipley is a corporation man, but has been a great factor in developing*| the state’s industries and commerce, and ts extremely popular in all sections. Judge Mabry is a strong Bryan democrat, and there is probably ne man in the country who more unqualifiedly adopted nor more vigorously supported the Chicago program last year than the then chief justice, now Associate Justice Mabry of the Florida su- | preme court. Senator Call and Col. Chipley are now leading in the fight, with Judges Raticy and Hocker fullowing: A combination must be made or there can be no selection. “Thete is little probability that either Call or Chipley can form the combination, for they have been fighting each other ever sinee before Mr. Call was etected six years ugo, and neither can expect any votes from.the |.

But neither of these candidates have particularly antag- onized Call, for, 4s above stated, they have been in politics very little of late years. They would, therefore, neither of them be particularly objectionable to Senator Call, ind if either could draw from Call's forces the anti-Call faction in the state would pe quite likely to rush in and elect him. ——--—_ BRAINED WITH A HATCHET. Landon Lovett Killed 1 Fight W His Nephew. Correspondence of The Evening Star. ROUND HILL, Va., April 25, 1897. Landon Lovett was killed here this morn- ing in a fight with his nephew, Jeff Lovett. The altercation grew out of the trouble- some character of the man who lost his life. During the waréhe made a bad name for himself as an outlaw, and was im- plicated in a number of crimes. Since the war he served several terms in the penitentiary, being sentenced twice for | horse-stealing. About a year ago he was | released from the penitentiary, after serv- ing a two-years’ term. He came back to Loudoun county and made his home with his nephew, Jeff Lovett, at this place. Ot late he had been quarrelsome and abusive to the nephew and to the members of the | Waddell family, who lived in the same house. This morning Landon Lovett got into a quarrel with some of the Waddells, and began to curse them. Jeff Lovett inter- fered and told his uncle to behave like a -| decent man, and to quit his cursing and come into the house to breakfast. “You must behave,” he said, “or Mave this place.” “Well,” replied Landon, “if I must leave, I'll clean the platter first,” and he whip- ped out a razor and made a slash at Jeff. The latter dodged and seized a hatchet. Then began a terrific fight. The old man was in his seventy-fifth year, but was active for his years. Jeff was young, agile and athletic. It was an unequal struggle, and. it was not long before the old man received a blow that finished him. Jeff escaped without a cut. The affair has caused considerable ex- citement in upper Loudoun. Little is heard that is to the credit of the dead man. Magistrates C. W. Hammersley and C. C. Gaver were notified, and summoned as a jury James Carruthers, John C. Paxton, Benjamin Cummings, J. G. Powell, J. A. Dowell and Henry Bascue, who found a verdict in accordance with the facts, and exonerating Jeff Lovett on the ground of self-defense. The local wonder is that the old man had not been killed in the same way long ago. ee VISITORS AT ATLANTIC CITY. a Desperate ‘Washingtoninns Well Represented in the Easter Week Throng. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., April 23, 1897. It is generally conceded that this has been the greatest Easter season in the his- tory of Atlantic City. During the four days ending on Easter Sunday the rail- roads landed 30,000 visitors in the city. With those here previous to that time it is estimated that at least 50,000 visitors were in the city Easter day, in addition to the permanent population of about 20,000. Only a few years ago this number was seldom reached in the height of the summer season. Easter Sunday is always the culminating ANHEUSER-BUSCH point of the sprin; pason, and it is usual for visitors to leave in great numbers the next day. Conditions this year, he § appear to be different. The Monday exodus was far smaller than in former years, and the hotels are nearly as crowded today as Were last Saturday. The number of arrivals is nearly as great as the de partures, and it begins to look as though the usual lull between the spring and sum- mer seasons will, this year, by its absence. The excellent roads, which are being improved, CG be conspicuous ronstantiy this city a the attention of bi- The distance is less than seventy miles, just a pleasant day's journey, and not a day passes but some enthusiastic wheelmen and wheelwomen make the trip.

C. Harmer of Pennsyl- vania is at the Hotel Dennis with his family. 2 Mrs B. Lowndes Jackson and Mrs. F. J. Lavender and child of Washington are spending several weeks at the Hotel Windsor. Miss A.
