Big w heat Harvest.

The soil of Pennsylvania will
produce more wheat to the acre than
any other state in the Union save
Washington. This has been proven
by figures just completed by the De-
partment Of Agriculture. DIR. j.
Bullivant of Spokane, Assistant
Dairy Commissioner Of the State of
Washington, was in Pittsburg Mon
day on his way to Washington, arm
ed with figures for the Government
department. DIR. Bullivant said:
"The showing made by Pennsyl-
vania this year in the production of
wheat per acre has been a surprise to
wheat growers. The Keystonestate
has always been very good in wheat,
but the men who deal in figures
went over them many times this fall
before they proved beyond doubt that
Pennsylvania was the second state
in the Union in the production OF
wheat to the acre.
"The State of Washington leads
the country in production to theacre.
Our figures are 23} bushels to the
acre, while Pennsylvania comes along
with 10 bushels to the acre. The
production of the other States per
acre to crop are as follows: Oregon,
II; Ohio. 1863; Michigan, 1876;
Kansas, 1915; Nebraska, l4.5; Min

STAINS REGRETS.
Only Humanity Arouses Compassion in
 Madrid.

Madrid, Feb. 16.-United States Min ister General Woodford did not re- ceive the news of the loss of the Maine from Washington. His first intima- tion of the news came from a Spanish rear admiral, who called at the United States legation to express, in behalf of the Spanish government, regret for the disaster which had befallen the American warship. The details reached General Woodford in dis patches of the Associated Press. The 1mparcial published an extra edition, saying that the news had produced a deep impression in Madrid The pre- mier, Senor Sagasta, personally in formed the queen regent of the loss of the Maine.
 The Epoca says: Whatever the re- lation between Spain and the United States, Christian feeling and humanity compel us to regret the catastrophe The spectacle of SO many lives sud denly launched into eternity inspires compassion"
 The Heraldo remarks: Although Americans represent us as people devoid of virtues, we must feel this horrible misfortune sincerely and ex- press feelings of compassion" The Heraldo adds: "In the face of provo cation by Americans we shall always remain a proud people; but in the face of men in misfortune of whatever na- tionality, our hearts are always full of pity"
 Admiral Chacon, commander-in- chief of the Spanish navy, in the course of an interview today, said the United States warship Maine had on board new explosive based on gun cotton manufactured by special pro- cess. Such explosives" he added. "were very dangerous, the slightest friction causing an explosion" He be- lieved the disaster was due to such a cause.

AN EX-ADMIRAL'S VIEW.
If It Was a Torpedo It Was Not an
 Accident.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 16.-Rear Admiral George Brown, who was the highest officer in the navy until his retiremeK Fast year, when informed of thl n9val casualty in Havana har-
 d: '1 can offer nothing but vague conjecture as to the probable cause of the destruction of the Maine, although it would seem to me at this time that when an investigation is made it will be found that an ex- plosion occurred on the vessel"
 The admiral asked if it was possible that torpedo lying in the harbor could have been accidentally ex- ploded under the ship. He did not think this could have been possible If a torpedo caused the explosion it must have been sent from the shore, for torpedoes are not lying around loose in Havana harbor, where hund- reds of ships pass in and out. There are no submerged mines in the harbor. "I don't recall any similar affair of this kind in the history of the United States navy" he added, "either in time of peace or in time of war"
 BELKNAP'S SUSPICION.
 Boston, Feb. 16.-Rear Admiral Belknap of the United States navy,
Arizona republican., 1898-02-17

retired. said today that he was in- clined to think the Maine was blown up by torpedo. 'I do not see," he said, thow any explosion of the for ward magazine could. have occurred The keys of the magazines are always kept in the custody of the captain. All ammunition is carefully cased, mostly in the form of projectiles, and their explosion by themselves is next to inn possible. If, as the dispatches state, the whole bow of the ship was blown off, it is apparent that the explosion could not have been caused by the boilers or the coal getting heated I do not see how it could have occurred from the paint room, as every precau- tiOn is taken to prevent the collection of explosive gases in the paint room, and if such an explosion occurred it would have been more likely to have caused a fire than to destroy the ship" In absence of information as to the cause he thought that was the most significant indication in the whole matter.

DREDGERS IN DISTRESS.
Five Men Tell a Story of Hardship in
 Oyster Fields.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Five colored men who had been working on an oys- ter dredger reached this city this morn ing, having walked here from Mach adoc creek by way of Fredericksburg. They called on Sanitary Officer Frank, and were furnished transportation to Baltimore. The men shipped from Baltimore few days before the re- cent storm, and were only down the river short time before they were ice-bound.
 One of the men, who acted as spokes- man for the party, said while they were on the dredger they were not half fed, nor did they have a decent or comfortable place to sleep. One of them, he said, had his foot frosted, and another had terribly crippled leg when he reached here. On the trip from Baltimore to the Potomac, he said, they were given oil clothes and charged full price for them, and all though some of them had not even been worn the captain required them to be returned, and allowed only one half price for them.
 They were required to work all day, he said, on scant rations, being al- lowed two small biscuits at each meal. At breakfast they were given two spoonfuls of apple sauce, while at sup per the same quantity of oatmeal was given. At the monday meal, he said, they were given the water that beans had been cooked in and a piece of meat about an inch square.
 They left the boat last Thursday and tramped here. During the nights the men made fires in the woods and kept from freezing to death. At farm houses they chopped wood and did other work, for which they got some thing to eat. When the men reach Baltimore, they say, they intend to make complaint to Commissioner Rogers against the captain of the boat. -sM K

tions as postmasters will not be re- quired to still their pens during their term of office.
 This is briefly the ruling of Mir. Per ry Heath, the first assistant postmas- ter general, to whom numerous in- gu:ries of late have been addressed upon this subject
 It was during the Cleveland admin istration that the order went forth that no editor or newspaper man should, while serving the government as it's postmaster, continue his editor ship or connection with a newspaper. This rule provoked a protest at the time, but it was insisted upon and enforced. For some time MT. Heath has recognized the injustice of this. He takes the ground that the man who gives up his vocation of journalist to enter the public service does so with the determination of returning to 1t after his term of service has expired, and it is unjust to deprive a man of his property while serving the govern AuCAI, WAACA lS VII Ludlly WudL luS It. striction would do. In a recent letter to an inquiring editor postmaster, Mir. Heath says it might be the better part of discretion not to be the editor, but if the paper is conducted in clean, straightforward manner ,and the post office department receive at the same time good, attentive service accept able to majority of the people, there is no reason why the editor-postmas- ter should not continue his journalis- tic career.
 This ruling will be especially vel come to a number of third and fourth class postmasters throughout the country, who have little weekly pa pers, which they are loath to suspend during their short terms as postmas- ters

heavy for her displacement. She was SIS feet long, 57 feet broad and had a mean draught of 21.6 feet.
 She steamed into Havana harbor on the morning of January 25. The ob- ject of the visit, it was said at the navy department, was to show that amicable relations had been re-estab- lished with the Spanish and that her visit was merely friendly call. Yet she carried a force of 40 men and had beside the batteries above described two gatling guns and two field pieces. It was calculated that in case of an emergency she could throw 263 men ashore, leaving sufficient force aboard to manage the ship. The number above is singularly the number re- ported yesterday afternoon to have heen killed by the explosion, drowned and devoured by sharks.
 The commander, Charles D. Sigs- bee, is little more than fifty years old and is favorite in the navy. For four years he was chief of the hydro graphic office, and, by his energy, brought the office to high standard. He was lucky to get so important a ship as the Maine, considering his ac- tual rank, which is that of a con- mander, but immediately he justified the departments judgment in the se- lection by running his ship straight into dock in New Harbor to avoid running down a packed excursion boat This was display of quick judgment, nerve and pluck that pleased the department so highly that the captain was sent complimentary letter. His officers were also a good lot, including Lieutenant Commander Richard Wainwright, Lieutenants G. F. Holman, John Hood and c. w. Yungen, Lieutenants (junior grade) c. w. Blow, J. T. Blandin, F. w. Jen- kins. Cadets J. H. Holden, W. T. Cluverius. Anon Bronson and D. F. Boyd, Jr.; Surgeon L. G. Heneberger. Paymaster c. w. Littlefield, Chief En- gineer c. P. Howell, Passed Assistant Engineer F. c. Bowers, Assistant En- gineers J. R. Morris and D. R. Mer- ritt, Cadet Engineers Pope Washing ton and Arthur Crenshaw, Chaplain J. P. Chidwick and Lieutenant of Ma rines A. w. Catlin.
 Said an army officer yesterday: Nothing in naval history has so stirred the world since the first mon- itor conquered the Merrimac, making an entire reconstruction of navies necessary. If a vessel like the Maine can be so easily plotted out, naval construction will have to take the di- rection of discovering a new defense against explosives rather than of ar moring vessels and increasing their fighting capacity"
