Asuadores, east OF Santiago. the firing
lasting one hour. Both attacks. the Span
iards assert. were repuised. Moro castle Is
admitted tohave been damaged. as was the
exterior headquarters" built during the
time OF peace al Cayo Smith, and in addl-
ton the Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes
is admitted TO have been slightly dam
aged"
The Spanish commander at Santiago re-
ports that the American fire did not dis
mount one piece of artillery. and he says
that nine of the American vessels dis
appeared from sight before dark"
The Spanish army losses according TO
Official reports. are one soldier killed and
one chief. four officers and twenty-one SOL
diers wounded. The Spanish navy losses

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Too much stimuative feeding often
tends to induce robbing.
Colonies having defective queens are
always the foundation of trouble.
The strength of the colony deter
mines the amount of brood therein.
A board covering should never be
placed over and directly on the frames,
The ground in front of eacn hive
should be banked up level with the en-
trance.
The first thing after living a swarm
of bees in frame hive is to adjust the
frames.
The best material in the smoker is
dry rotten wood that has become light
and spongy.
When robbing once gets started in
the apiary it is very troublesome and
hard 10 check.
gargle made of sage tea and sweet
ened with honey is one Of the best rene
dies for colds or hoarsness.
When the queen goes up into the sur
plus boxes she selects drone comb If
possible in which to deposit her eggs.
Except during the winter the IN
trance should be large enough TO admit
of the bees passing in and out readily.
Combs that are new and bright are
not near so liable to become infested
with worms as those of dark color

GREAT TIME COMING.
Such season of Prosperity as
the World Never Has
known.

Never in the history of the American
people were their business affairs in
such promising condition as they are al
the present time. Wherever we look
the evidence of prosperity is found.
Our exports are phenonN nally large
and there is every indication that they
will grow to even greater dimensions.
There was time when we sold only
raw materials. but now our manufac-
tured products are finding such favor in
the eyes of the world that our Eu-
ropean rivals in trade have reason for
Slarm. In n letter to the New York
World George Rutledge Gibson, refer
ring to this aspect Of the question, says:
"As a result, we have at our command
IN enormous international trade bal
ance which we can convert into gold at
any time. but we have what is more inn
portant than that, a relief from the
gold drain TO Europe, which for several
years threatened gold payments in this
country. While free silver men were
agitating their policy gold was fleeing
away and the very underpinning of our
gold standard was being Withdrawn.
This process went on for some time in
conjunction with a treasury situation
which was weakened by monthly def
cts. The whole economic drift has now
changed. We have so far this year inn
ported $3.50, 100000 more gold than we
have exported. we have produced and
put into monetary circulation more
gold than any year within 30 years, and
we have at our beck and call millions of
European gold in the form of bills of
exchange carried by our bankers"
We continue to be the granary of the
world; populism. il is believed, is dis
appearing; the silver question no longer
excites serious alarm. though it will
continue to be agitated; this country
will not engage in war again for many
years. So everything is promising for
such season of prosperity rs the world
never has known.-Albany Journal.

POULTRY DOES PAY.
One of the Most Profitable, III Not the
Most Profitable, Branches
of Farming.

Those who say poultry does not pay
do so because in the first place they do
not expend the proportionate time and
brain in caring for their fowls that they
DO with their other stock, says the
Western Rural. In the second place,
they do not keep an account, hence the
many little sums are overlooked when
compared with those derived from the
cows, for instance, where many times
the capital is invested. Take care of
your hens for one season, credit them
with all the eggs and chickens used at
home us well as those sold, of course
charging the feed and time to them, and
see if they do not yield greater profit
proportionately than the average prod
ucts at your disposal. Those who have
thoroughly tried it, either as n business
in itself or as a side issue, are almost
unanimous in declaring that it is one
OF the most profitable, if not he most
branches of farming. One
must not expect to do well at ii unless
he is willing to devote time and talents
to it, and even then there are few who,
despite their best efforts, will fail; the
same is true in every business and pro-
fession. To such would say, try some
thing else, but to the average man
would recommend keeping few fowls,
If situated so that it is at all practicable
IN do so

STANDS BY HIS PLEDGES.
President Mckinley VIII Keep Every
Promise Made mt His
Election.

President McKinley's message to the
people of the west. delivered by III. ii.
Hanna at the meeting of the New York
chamber of commerce few days ago
is an emphatic reiteration of his mes
sage to congress last year. what
word" said Mr.. Hanna on parting with
the president, "can l take back to the
people of the west regarding the cur
rency?" The president replied:
"Tell them I stand firmly for monetary
legislation. and that am determined that
every pledge the republican party made
along this line shall be kept"
Why is this message sent especially to
the west? Simply because, to the honor
of the west, ii is here that the demand
for the fulfillment of the republican
pledges of 1896 are most insistent. The
president has been reading the returns
from the west. He interprets correctly
the magnificent majority in Ohio to
mean an Endorsement alike of the per-
formances and promises of his admins"
tration. So, too. of the round plurality
of $4,000 in Illinois, $4,000 in Indiana.
1000 in Michigan, $4,000 in Iowa, 10000
in Wisconsin, and sound money gains
everywhere west to the Golden Gate
that opens outward to our island en-
pire.
The president makes no new prom
ises. Nor does he give any intimation
of favoring any of the currency reform
measures before the present congress.
lie knows that no relief is possible in
that quarter. But from his message of
December 6, 1897. we know that Presi-
dent Mckinley is committed to none
tary measures that shall
81. Place the currency and obligations OF
the United States on the gold basis by
statute
49, Impound redeemed greenbacks so that
they shall not be reissued except for gold,
thereby breaking the endless cham
''3, Grant to national banks the right to
Issue notes to the face value of the bonds
which they deposit for circulation and re-
of one per cent"
There need be no caucusing of repub-
lican leaders during the coming session
10 unite upon these propositions. There
are not differences of opinion to be
reconcied about them. There is no
novelty or intricacy of system involved
in them. They stand forth as the OBJ
vious and self-evident means to secure
the gold standard. break the endless
chain" of repeated redemption and give
greater elasticity to our currency.
No preliminary conference of party
leaders was necessary to the calling of
the extra session of 1897 for tariff re-
form, and none is needed to adjust diff
fcrences as to monetary reform before
the extra session. The divergence of
views as to national banking and cur
rency that cannot be brought together
in the discussion of the extra session
can be relegated to the regular session.
The people of the west send greeting
10 Presidnt Mckinley and beg to ex-
press their confidence in his determine
ton to call an extra session of the Fifty
sixth congress in March that the re-
publican party at the first opportunity
may keep its pledges of 1896 and 1898
