London Chronicle,
America! dear brotherland!
While yet the shotted guns are mute.
Accept u brotherly salute,
A hearty grip of England's hand.
Tomorrow, when the sulphurous glow
Of war shall dim the stars above,
Be sure the star of England's love
Is over you, come veal, come zoe
20 forth in hope! Go forth in might!
To all your nobler self he true,
That coming times may see in you
The vanguard of the hosts of light.
Though wrathful Justice load and train
Your guns, be every breach they make
A gateway pierced for Mercy's sake,
That Peace may enter in and reign,
| Then, should the hosts of darkness band
Against you, lowering thunderously,
Flash the word "Brother!!" DER the

And England at your side shall stand
Exulting! For though dark the night,
And sinister with scud and rack.
The hour that brings US back to back
But harbingers the larger light.

THE WHEAT CROP OF 1898

The winter wheat crop has
always been indicative of the entire
crop of the cereal, and Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson does not
hesitate to predict a great crop
one exceeding the crop gathered
in 1897. 1t will ssbe much
larger" he says, than that crop,
and that great crop foots up $780,
900, 900 bushels.
In the first place the acreage IS
about 6 per cent. greater. In the
thirty states in which winter wheat
is raised to a greater or less extent
the area devoted to wheat has been
increased by 2.O97, SIS acres, and
when every deduction is made the
net increase is found to be ILL.,
692 acres.
The crop of California has been
hurt by a severe drought, but in
every other winter-wheat state the
conditions are very favorable.
The crop of Kansas bids fair to be
the largest the state has ever
grown. The average condition IN
all the states was at the beginning
of May Sc. 3, against 500 on May
l of last year, when a fine crop
was coming on. In the nine states
having 100000 acres or up
wards IN wheat the percentages
were on May 1 as follows: Kan
sas, 1O5; Pennsylvania, So; Michi-
gan and Tennessee each, So; Mis-
souri,, IS; Indiana, 81; Illinois,
Sc; Ohio, 80.
The condition of spring wheat
cannot be given in May, but the
spring ploughing was unusually
we'll advanced on May 1, and there
is scarcely a doubt of ar increased
acreage. 1t is possible that the
crops Of 1889 and 1891 will be
reached and perhaps exceeded.
Set-backs are possible until the
crop is harvested, but the ~reverses
will have to be very severe anC
very widespread if they reduce
the new crop below that of 1897
which was used to feed a hungry
world.
Crop experts do not hesitate tc
predict that this years wheat crop
will be the largest in the history
of the United States. There are
men who say the crop will ex.
ceed $50, 600, 900 bushels. Th'
increased acreage and the fayorabl'
weather are leading to estimate
of an yield exceeding even that 0
1891. There may be temporar.
advances in the wheat market IL
June, but by July 1 prices vii
begin to decline, and the price 0
-four will probably drop continu-
ously to the end of the harvest.

SPAIN DESIRES PEACE.
The Powers VIII Not Intervene
and the war Cloud
DarkenS

By Cable to The Argus.
London, May. 20--Reports
from Madrid say that Spain de-
sires peace, and this is construed
here to be the result of a fresh
hint from the continental powers
that they would not intervene.
Despite the inspired warning to
the contrary, Spain expected their
friendly Intervention early in the
war. As Spanish burdens grow
heavier the wal outlook darkens
for Spain and disappointment from
correct neutrality increases.

Since the death of Gladstone
Senator Justin Smith Morrill,, of
Vermont, is the oldest living En-
glish-speaking statesman. There
was about four months difference
in their ages, Gladstone having
been born December 30, 1899, and
Senator Morrill, April IA, 1909.
His length of service exceeds
that Of any American statesman.
He was elected a representative to
the Thirty-fourth congress and re-
elected to the five succeeding con-
crosses, and then transferred to
the senate as a Union Republican
in 1867, making his term of public
service forty-three years. By a
strange coincidence death has
visited the families of these two
great statesmen within a week.
and to-day Senator Morrill, made
his first appearance in the cham
Der since the funeral of his wife.
He is usually the centre of q
group of senators and quite a con-
versationalist. Today no one
approached him, and he sat buried
in a deep reverie. The aged sen
ator bore up well under the trying
ordeal through which he has JUS
passed. Many expressions o
sympathy we're heard for him.

Washington, Dec. r. ten. CalixtO
Garcia, the distinguished Cuban war
rior and leader and head of the com
mission elected by the Cuban assembly
to visit this country, died here yester-
day morning shortly after ten o'clock
at the Hotel Raleigh, where the com
mission has its headquarters. The
sudden change from the warm climate
of Cuba, with the hardships he there
endured, to the wintry weather OF
New York and Washington is respon.
sible for the pneumonia which result
ed in his demise. The arrangements
for the funeral have not yet been com
pieted. The expectation is that serv-
ices will be held in one Of the Catholic
churches here. possibly ST. Patrick's,
on Tuesday, after which the remains
will be placed temporarily in receiv-
ing vault pending final interment in
Cuba.
Gen. Garcia. whose name will be ever linked
with those Of other patriots who have fought
against unequal odds for the freedom OF his
country, has had most active and varied life,
much OF which has been spent In fighting for
the cause Of Cuban liberty which he had the
satisfaction Of seeing accomplished so short q

and refinement OF splendid education and

Of Santiago de Cuba province, He was born In

PRAISE FOR THE LIGHTS.
Everybody Il Proud Of the Handsome
Service.

The electric light plant has been
in operation four nights and is now
working perfectly. Everybody prais-
es it. The arc lamps in the street
burn steadily and are unexcelled
anywhere. It is doubtful il there is
another town in the State that has
as good ones. The service to stores
and residences is equally as good and
far better than the old plant could
give. The expert from Chicago who
was here to start the plant went home
last night. "There is no more need
Of me-" he remarked, "the plant
works as well as anybody could wish. )"
He was right and Messrs. Jacob
Brown and Cleyson Brown deserve
credit for their enterprise. The EN-.
ployees are overwhelmed with orders
and it will be some days before they
can catch up. The city needs about
six more arcs and they will doubtless
be ordered at next council meeting.

On August 20 last Gillett secured

chattel mortgage on 1896 head of
cattle in the Texas Panhandle. 1t

now claims that the cattle have never
been at the Woodbine farm; that, on
the other hand, Gillett permitted them
to fall into the possession Of William
Dunlap, and later they were divided
up into numerous punches and 525
head Of them shipped to St. Joseph
