2 warfare fie was undouvtedly vro-eminent. This was due in_a great measure to his won- drous knowledge of the Indian character, During the early part of his srmy life, which has all been spent in the west, with the ex- ception of the war time, he learned to be- come & thorough hunteman and woodman. In many respects hie had the traits of an In- dian—keen, quick, strong and with good judgment ' when in a wilderness. He knew the Indians ~ ns | know my alphabet, and he troated them on, all occasions with that honesty that formed a romarkable factor in his character, What- ever e said he meant, and he nevor went baclk on his word. A promise was sacr ed with him, just as mich to an Indian as to anyone else. Theso men learned to trust him and to love him, although he was a ter rible enemy to them. During his last visit to mo at Vernon barracks, in Alabama,’ said Lioutenant Kennon, *'the old Apaches whom ho captured in Arizona greeted him, and even embraced him. One of 'them once told hun - out in the west that his peonle looked upon him as they dd wpon Gioa, as being the soul of honor and of truth. They had the utmost belief in everything he did. His bonzsty was peculiar in its inten- sity. He woutd not even say to a man, ‘Iam lad to see you,’ if he did not really feel glad. n matters of thonght he was slow, cautious and logical in method and he weighed argu- mient carefully before coming to @ decision, with an unerring judgment. He had a kind, considerate, loveable churacter, simplo and approachable, simple in Lis manners and his tastes and retiring and quict in his actions. He was a constant reader of alisorts of liter. ature, especially upon military topics. 1 have been in receipt of a good many letters from the general since he left mo here in January iast, in which he has com- plained . of ' a shight illness. It atarted with the grip, from which he soon recovered, vut occasionally there would be reference to his being ‘under the «weather.” On the 15th of this montn Le wrote that he his cele~ was very much better. During brated Apache campaign he received an in- jury in his chest from over exertion which soemed to have an offect on his lungs, and he had a slight cough which worried him, bu when le went to a specialist be was assured that he was 10 no danger. A distioguished general officer now on the retired list said to m~ less than a yoar ago that in his opinion General Crook was by far better qualified to command_troops on the field than any other oficer in the service. I have studied the matter thoroughly and 1 believe that if_ his plan of campaign had been fol- lowed in Virginia and West Virginia the war would bave been over at least o year be- fofe, Gieneral Crook was an Indian” fighter from the beginning of his military career, and [ have been an interosted listener of many @ yarn from bis lips. In the [0's, while separated from the small body of men he commanded he was fired upon by a band of Indians from the other side of a_ canyon. Arrows began to fall like hail, so thick in- deed that in clutching a tuft of grass to assist him up the hill while endeavoring to ket under cover he caught three arrows in his hand with tho grass. An ar- row was imbedded in his thigh. Crook pulled it out, but the poisoned head remained in his leg to the aay of his death, over forty years. here was no doctor u er than 150 miles, and although blood poisoning set in his wonderful physique enabled him to puil through. General Crook was very fond of hunting,” continued Lieutenant Kennon, “and wiis one of the best shots 1 over saw. When he was a young officer he always did the hunting for” his mess. In those days sometimes the mess bills exceeded the ofticers’ salary, and 1 have heard General Crook tell how they mado lim caterer and by his intimate knowledge of the Indians’economical modes of cooking und his luck at hunting the mess was soon able to declure dividends. I have been with him onmy hunting trips and I never saw a bot- ter or steadier shot. Suge hens are not the easiest thing to bag, and yet 1 have seen him repeatedly drop a bird out of a flock with each bar But not only that, he would kill a chicken every time. His eyo was quick that waile aumine he could sel chicken stantly. With ail his experience and triais General Crook was as simple as a child. He was straigutforward and truth- ful and had no patience with concealment or trickery. He mnever broke his word toa white man or red man,” w General Crook more in- timate anderson, and when the Senator was asked if he had anything to say about tho dead warrior, ho remarked: *“Ho was my warm personal friend of mau Years standing, and the intelligence of suddeén death has greatly startled me. ‘was one of the most modest and unobtrusi of men when not in active service, so diffc ent as to impress one not knowing him well #8 though ho distrusied his own powers, but ‘when aroused by the uecessity of the occay his Ho #10n he was a most powerful and aggress sive force. He was every inch & soldier, and the records of his services during the war of the rebellion and since form some of the brightest pages in our history. Ho won not only the confidence but the affection of those who served with him, and there are many sad_hearts among the veterans of the urmy of Wost_ Virginin commanded by him. As commauder of the department of the Platte General Crook was stationed foc mapy years at Omaba and it was under his leadorship in the formative days of tho trans-Missourl country thut tho Indian question was solved ana the settle ment of that vast territory made possible. Ho was more than an Indian fightor— Be was un Indian conqueror and won them to s will because he won their respect and confidence. Ho never deceived them ana wss known among the Sioux of the plains as ‘tho chief who would not lie.' His Rosebud campaign was & study of Indian warfare and the endurance and soldierly qualities displayed in the Apache campaign in the southwest won the admiration of the country. 1 believe the Kroat wost owes more to' Generul George Crook than to nuy other wmar, and the citi- zons of Nebraska have never been backward in awarding him their greatest esteem and hignest praise. His last great scrvice was in obtainiog the consent of the great Sioux nation to the dismemberment of their territory. 1 do not believe that any other man could bave produced the result, He explained all the provisions of the act of congress with infinite patienco and fairly advised them as to their own interests, His death is a great 10ss to the whole country, but it will be felt most keenly in the terri tory west of the great rivers.” SENATOR PADDOCK'S E Speaking of General Crook & dock suid: *I have known G long time. Ho was an_able being a splendid soldier. gacious, self contained, and although & maa of supremo courage and rosolution Lo was modost, retiring, indeed ho was utterly devoid of self assertion. He was witensely popular in the farther west on account of his successful efforts in set tling Indian troubles on the frontior, first by a severo chastisement and afterward by u just and honorable treatmeut of tho tribes which he haa conquered.

A Lively Fight Expected—Statistics Showing the Possibilities of the Beet—The Tarift Bitl Again Delayed. 513 FOURTRRNTII STRERT, WasniNotos, D. C., March 22, A right lively fight against the heavy cut made in the sugar duty will bo led by tho Nebraska delegation whon the tariff bill comes up in the house, The Iowa delewa- tion will try to counteract the work of the Nebraskans by a strong skirmish in favor ot a haayier reduction thag the bill proposes. The Nebraska and lowa delegations are upon the most friendly terms and have worked together heretofore in local as well as general logistation of special interest to WASHINGTON Buneav Tir OMana Beg, } the west. The foothold which the beot sugar industry has taken in Ne- braska is the incentive whicn will govern that delegation, while the strong movement by the Farmers’ alliance in lowa demanding & complete abolition of the sugar duty and a rotention of the tobacco tax will be the incentive behind the Hawkeye dele- gation. It is understood that Mr, Oxnard, who is building a very large beet-suzar fac- tory at Grand Island, will stop worl upon it if the proposed reduction of the sugar duty is made and that ho will transform his cs- tablishmeni 1ato some other kind of an in- Austry, at least he has threateoed to do this and there is no reason to believe that he is not acting in good faith. Tho faffuers in the northwestern and central part of Ne- braska are up in arms agamnst the prospect of Mr, Oxnard closing uis establishment, which promisecs to bo a large and profitable industry, and they are couling down upon the delegdtion 1n congress from that state with great force. If it were not for the prospects of develoving a profitablo industry in bect sugar tho Nebraskans would favor the abolition of the sugar dyty. ‘The farmers of lowa, while they have. the s0il and climate suitable for the successful propacation of the sugar beet, have no im- mediate prospects ot the ' establishment of factories there. They believe that o bird in the band is worth a whole bevy in the bush, and they want cheaper sugar immedl- ately. The Nebraska men have placed in their hands, by a_bulletin just issued from the bureau of statistics of the treasury de- partment, some figures which argue’ very strongly to the point that the beet sugar in- dustry of Europe promises to soon overcome the cane sugar industry of the South Am- merican republics as well as that of the South Pacific Islands. The statstics showing the im- portation of beet sugar for « this country in tho month ending January 31 last, as compared with the corresponding month of last year are somewhat startling. During January last there was imported 84,454,919 pounds’ of beet sugzar against 41,863,304 during the month of January last year, an increase of more than 100 per cent within a year. During January, 100, there were imported of cane und all” other sugars than beet sugar 150,432,350 pounds azainst 135,633,553 during the nonth of January lust year, an incroase of but 10 per cent, It can thus be seen that beet sugar is taking the place of cane and other sugars and prom- ises to occupy the American market within a short time. ‘Ihe Nebraskans regard this as a strong argument in favor of the feasibility of making beet sugar in this country. They will produce an analysis showing tnat there can be produced in Nebraska and other states in this country beets containing a higher per cent of sugar than are produced in IFrance, Germany and other peet sugar pro- ducing countries which are now supplying the markets cf the world, with a positive showing that the beetsugar industry is driv- ing cane sugar from the markels cvery- whero and that we can produce the finest sugar beets in the world, aud that the in- dustry is already being developel with wondorful rapidity in our western states. "The Nobraska delegation will be enabled to make a fight for the encouragement of the sugar industry in this country whi will havo effect when the tariff bill is under consideration. The Nebraskans say they will prove that Sccretary Rusk has violated the law in connection with the sugar industries in this country for the pur, pose of assisting the movement in favor of a heavy cut in the sugar duty, The law making the last appropriatign for the main- tenance of the departmont, of agriculture made it mandatory that Secretary Rusk should report not later than the 1st of last month upon the sugar experiments which have been made under the direction of his department. The Nebraskans had this provision put into the appropriation bill with a view to securing reports which might give information going to show that our beet sugar enterprise had already de- veloped to a stage which demanded protec- tion in the way of a customs duty or a boun- ty. Although members of the delegation have repeatedly called upon Secretary Rusi for this report ho has refused to make it public and is understood that he will not_publish 1t until after the tariff biil is adopted for the reason, it is bolieved that the statements made 'in the report would have a very radical influence upon the provisions in the tariff bill reducing the sugar duty. Although the commissioner of agriculture was given all possible assistance vears ago to investigate our capabilities in tho direc- tion of sugar production the department of agriculturo seems to have been steadily manipuiated in the interest af free sugar and to the discourngement of domestic sugar enterprise: AGKICULTURAL COMMITTEE REPORT. Seuator Paddock, from tho committos on agriculture, today submittod & report to ac- company the bill for the encouragement of tho cultivation of the sugar beetand the manufacture of beet sugar. The bill pro- vides a bounty of 1 cent a pound and author- 1ze8 the admission of beet sugur manutactur- g muchinery duty free. T'he report is an exhaustive one, in which the committee goes over the subject of the beet sugar experi- ments in various countries of Kurope, and cails attention to the fuct ot the encrimous quantity of beet sugar imvorted 1nto this country annually, The committee says the ctical inquiry which lies at the voot of the policy of offering a bounty Yor an increased production of sugar 1s whether a nation of 65,000,000 people possessed of a var- iety of soils and varied climate 18 warranted in the light of known facts in longer delay- g any reasonable expenditure of money in any direction best calculated to discover With the greatest expedition what possibil- ities are hidden behind the efforts to largely wicroaso the subply of sugar from boets, sorghum and cane. ~ Statistics are given to show that the encouragement of the beet sugar industry in the various countries of Ku- ropo has resuited in a wonderful indrease in that product 1n the last fifty years. France for instance produced 40,000 tons in 1837, while in 1 her product amounted to 465, 000 tons. In Germuuy the product has been trebled in three years, b0 por cent more was raised in Hungary in 1587 than n | and the same is true in Russia and Poland. THE TARIFF BIL It was thought at the capitol this morning that the ways and means committeo would be propared to renort the new tariff biil to the house, but owing to the urgent request of the canned goods packers throughout the country who desired to be heard on the sub- ject of the duty on tio plate . Mr. McKinley decided to give them a chance to express their views and avother hearing was there- !9ru held by the committee this morning This bas caused additional delay in the final touches on the bill and it is probable that 1t wiil bo the end of next weex before it can be reported to the house. The fea- tures of the bill, which have been published, have caused more or less discussion among members from all sections, and the goneral sentiment seoms to be that the measure drawn up by Mr, McKinley and his colleagues is more of a westera bill than was ever pre- sonted to the house, while the late lamentoa measure hatched up by Mills, Scott, Hreok- inridge ot al was designed primarily for the benefit of tho south, The MeKinley bill is uuiversally looked upon as the fair- est all around measure which has Yot been suggested to songress in the form Iff bill. Of course there are some grounds for nh&muun among the onstern men, who flnd the existing order of things somewhat disturbed by changes made in the various schedules, but there 1s scarcely ono of them who Jonios that the provisiors of the bill for protection in the west only uccords with justice to_that vast section of the country which bas been so long ignored for the benefit of eastern manufacturers and castern importers, Nobody expacts that the final tariff act of the Fifty-first congress will be a verbatim copy of the bill reported by the ways and means conftnittee. It is almost certain that changes will oocur, but on the whole the priocipal schedules of the bill will become the law of the land, and @'l the talk that is bheard on tho democratic side about general republican dissatisfaction is based simpiy on the knowledgo that some mombers are of course disappointed because their in- aividual interests were not as well taken care of us they had hoped thoy might be.

The professed object to be attained is the ad- vancement of democratic prineip’ s, This step, though the first pub- lic one taken, is by no means the initiatory one of the society, which was born one and one-half years ago and has attained a membership of 2,500 active local demo- crats, Its movements are, €0 far as is pos- sible with un organization of such numbers, made beneath the cloak of secrecy. From an outline of the workings of the association given by one of its officers today, it seems that it is to be a western edition of Tammany. The idea was conceived a couple of years ago, wheu the Cook county democ- racy was sphit oy dissension iuto many fac- vions, The best organizers of the short and long hairs put their heads together and resolved upon 4 plan fashioned after the or- ganization of Tammany. The first thing to do was to select a name, and as that of the New York organization was of Indian origin it was decided that this should be purely American too; so Wash-Nan-Ton was, after considerablo dobate, chosen.

FueMoNt, Neb,, March 22.—(Special to Tre Bee|—In the Furst murder trial today a great deal of evidence was takgn corroborating all the circumstances of tiie murder related by former witnesses in this trial and others who testified in tho action brought against Charles Shephard. One of the hardest flzhts of the wnole trial oc- curred on the question of admitting a con- fossion madoe by Furst in the county jail on the day of his incarceration. This confes- sion was written down av tho time by C. G. Bowius of Scribner, read over to Furst and ho signed his namo to it. The defense ‘suc- ceeded in oxcluding the written confession, but the witness gave the substance of it ay he remembered it. Furst told him that he had done tho killing and that he was very sorry for it, that he was ready to die for the crime, but hoped it would all be over before his mouher heard of it. Furst said that he and Shephard had arranged between them that Shephard was to hold up Pulsifer, their vietim, and that he (Fusrt) was to go tbrough his pockets; that they ordered Pulsifer to throw up his hands but instead of doing so he put one in his pocket; they thought he was zoing after a revolver and so they shot him; they them robbed him, sccuring something like 818, This witness, as others had done before, detailed the flight of the two men after the murder as detailed i Furst’s confession, Other persons to whom confessions had been made after the capture testified practi- cally to the same things as Bowius, At 5 o'clock the state rested its case.
