SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS.
Kalll-s Produced in Dry Weather in Texas
"7 "y tfco ue" or Dynamite.
Midland, Tex.', Aug. 27. The labors
of the rainmakers, whom Uncle Jerry
Rusk sent down here to try to pump
water out of cloudless skies, are practi
cally at an end, so far as this particular
locality is concerned.. General Dyren-'
fbrth will leave for Washington tomorrow
to begone about ten days." He is highly
pleased with the success of the experi
ments, and has perfect faith that the
power of making rain has been secured.
From a barren dry alkali prairie this
country has been transformed into a first
class pasture land. The experiments
have not yet' been conducted upon the
extensive scale of the program first laid
out by Generai Dyrenforth, but sufficient
has been done to demonstrate that the
right plan for making rain ', when it is
hi eded has been discovered. The bal
loons," 6wing to the present- inadequate
means of making oxygen in large quan
tities, have not been a dazzling success,
I . - r , i , l i . .
uut ine rucKarocK povruer ami dynamite
have worked .wonders with the atmos
phere. The explosions -of any. large
amount of dynamite andrackarock were
followed by rain in side of eight hours,
upon eight or ten occasions., . , ,
Last evening s was the final and roost
conclusive and satisfactory of any of the
experiments, ine mgnt was clear .ana
there was every indication of a long' dry
spell. - Five ba"l loons were -sent up and
exploded.: A stiff gale was blowing from
the east and they drifted far toward the
setting, sun before they exploded. The
battle on the ground, were rackarock
and dynamite took the place of heavy
artillery,. lasted from 6 o clock until 10 ;
then the general and his forces retired.
They were awakened at .3 a. nr. by a
vivid flash of lightning, followed by a
violent clap ot thunder, lney went out
and saw a storm of great violence raging
in the west. . It' rained until about 8 a.
m. ; then many pounds of dynamite and
rackarock were exploded again. - After
each discharge the rain fell in torrents.
SUGAB SPRECKELS.
Questions and Denials Regard, to the
Sugar Trust. ;
Philadelphia, Aug. 27. The state
rnetsTrabli8hed in New York yesterday,
to the effect that the sugar trust had
after all 'obtained the practical control
of the Spreckels Tefinery in this city,
was last night absolutely contradicted
bjv Rudolph Spreckles, who ."said de
cidedly that nothing of the sort had
been in contemplation, nor would ever
take place. ,
"Are you .aware that Mr.' "Willets, of
"the firm of' Willets Gray, positively
asserts that the arrangement has been
made.?''-i Ae was asked. . , 1
,. : 5'Oh, fsuppose they as sugar brokers
'.may have some , bonds to sell,", replied
klr Spreckejs,- '.'and it is therefor to:
tpeir interest .to spread., the report, but I
assure you there is no truth in it, and it
is nothing but the-old "story revived,
which we have contradicted time after
time." ' - ,-
' 'Is there any truth 'in" the statement
that Mr,. Spreckels issued bonds to the
amount of 2,)00,000 on his refinery, but
iound it impossible to sell them ata price
to suit him, and that the American company-advanced
him a .large amount of
cash and took the bonds B security?"
"AbsoJutely none whatever., I cannot
imagine where all the,: rumors originate.
Sojrie pejople are evidently more convers
ant S;ith tr affairs- than we are our
selves, but they are only procnring'us a
lot rf "cheap advertising by" spreading
such stories. - .

cial or unofficial has been received at
either the state or naval department to
day of the reported surrender of the Chi
lian -congressional army at Vino del
Mar Tuesday. If the surrender did

mation from either Minister Egan or
Admiral Brown on the subject is believed
to be due to the interruption of tele
graphic communication. .

CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
They are Liable to Lose Their Home In
Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 27. There is a
Confederate Veterans' home here, with
real estate attached, valued at between
$40,000 and $50,000, which is now with
out an owner, and which may
never have any inmates. In a .spurt of
sentimental patriotism, led by the .late
Henry Woodfen Grady, occasioned by
the failure of. Major Stewart's scheme in
New York, $100,000 was raised by private
snbscription. The home was built, ap
plications for admission were received
from all parts of the state, and all that
remained was for the state to accept the
magnificent property tendered. The al
liance raised the cry of economy, and
declared that the poorhouses were good
enough for people who could not support
themselves. The proposition was at
tacked vigorously during the debate, and
even the epithet of "buttermiiK soia
iers" was hurled at the veterans. The
proposed gift was then modified .so as to
impose not even the burden of maintain
ing it upon the legislature. This was
voted down this afternoon by a decisive
majority; and, for the first, time in
twenty-five years, the Confederate vet
eran found that he was an alien in
Georgia, representing an alien memory
The veterans are organizing an indigna-.

CALIFORNIA HOPS.
The'Croils Nearly a Failure In Yolo-
and Sacramento.
Sackamento, Aug. 27. The hop crop,,
wbith is an important industry in Sacra
mento county, is vey nearly a failure-.
Not more than half a crop will be turned
off by the yards in this county and Yolo.
Many vines are turning red and the hop
is also the color of the setting sun. The
produce is so rusted that it cannot be
sulphured so as to sell. All this is also
"light," so that it is a dead loss to the
growers. A change has come in the last
week and it is a distressful surprise ta
cultivators. It puts entirely a new as-,
pect to the California hop market. The.
red color is thought to be due to long dry
snells and hot - weather. Mislaading
telegrams have been sent out bjr buyers,
within the past few days, saying that
the crop in this valley will be above the
average, when in fact the reverse is the
case. -.- , ,,
