 The regiments ordered to Manila are the Fifty-tfrst Iowa, Twentieth Kansas, First Tennessee, First Wash ington and detachment of the Second Oregon.
 No Special Exigency.
 It was stated at the war department that no eAigeney had arisen which made it necessary to send the troops now at San Francisco to Manila, but the order issued was in accordance with the general plan of the depart ment regarding a garrison for the Philippines. That plan of the garri- son duty included 10000 men for the Philippines. 12,500 for Porto Rico and 6o,ooo for Cuba The troops to be sent to Manila under the order just issued, will fill the complement for that sta tion.

water before Letter pere knew any
thing about it. When the elder Letter
heard that Joseph had launched 50 big
4 ship he called him from Europe to
take it into dry dock at once: but Jo-
seph was not in a position TO obey this
injunction. He was under the battery
Of the enemy, and he had to fight or
strike his colors. There is no doubt
that Joseph's enterprise would have
entertained an ingiorious end il his
father had not come to the rescue at
the critical moment. Mr.. Letter was
determined that his son should not be
discredited, as he termed it. at the
beginning of his business career.
Then began the serious trouble for
Mr.. Letter. Ii became grave ques-
ton whether with all his capital he
could stretch his credit to such point
as to carry through the gigantic deal.
At one time his credit was involved to
the extent of $40 900 900. Mr.. Letter
never faltered and never doubted that
he would win out if he could command
suffi eient capital, bat with all his re-
sources it was a great strain to be
called on for so much as $40, 000, 900
of margins for single deal. Yet he
met it. AMI the result was that the
house of Letter is now 81 DOC, 900
richer by the deal Mr.. Letter put
into this wheat deal enough money to
build a navy for second rate power,
and he cleaned out the enemy as eff
fectively as Dewey did the Spanish at
Manila.

MAY CROP REPORT.
Acreage of Writer Wheat
Greater and Better Than
Last Year.

WASHINGTON. u. c., May IL The
May returns to the statistician of the
department of agriculture show the
acreage in winter wheat to be 81 per
cent. greater than the acreage last
year, the comparison being no,
with the acreage being harvested
IN 1897. but with that sown in the
| fall of 1896. While there is an in
crease of IS per cent. in Kansas, d
more or less marked increase in every
eastern and every south ern state, and
some increase also on the Pacific coast,
| the large expansion thus indicated is
to some extent offset by decrease of
| , per cent. in Indiana. per cent in
Ohio, II per cent. in Iowa, l} per
cent. IN Missouri and l6 per cent. in
Illinois. The reduction in area OF
these last named states Is due tn
the fact that the fall of 1896
was one of the finest seeding sea
sons ever known, whereas that of
1897 was one of the most unfavor-
able. The average condition of win
ter wheat is So >. against 500 on
May | o. last year, Ia the nine states
with one million acres or upwards in
this product the acreage areas follows
Kan as, So; Indiana, 81; Illinois. So;
Ohio, 50, and California, &c. Cores
pondents agree in reporting the crop
OF California to be one of the smallest
ever raised in the state; on the other
hand, the crop of Kansas bios fair to
be the largest in its history.

about to petition, for appointment as

to you about it and give it as their
opinion that the Catholics already
have their share, aye thousand times
more than their deserts, in the public
trusts of this protestant land, and that
treachery can in one way be avoided
If we allow them no opportuni' les,
no chances to control or IN any way
hinder if they should wish to the affairs
of this nation, and especially of Iudi-

grateful for consideration proper to be
shown toward US as cornell in this

Ministers Investments.

We are sometimes led to believe that
ministers are the most credulous of all
people in the matter of investing their
meager savings. We Numbered the other
day upon the fnct that several of our
good ministers had been persuaded Ia
an entire stranger to invest small
amounts in land speculation enter
prise Of which they had no definite or
reliable information When will our
clergymen learn that nearly every
scheme of this kind is worthless and
comes to sudden grief The savings
bank, the cooperative bank and first
mortgage are the only Investments to
which our brethren should ever give
any serious consideration--inye
OF unquestioned security, even though
the rate Of interest be less Ii is indeed
pitifui to see SO many ministers come
to an old age of pinehing want who
would have been in comfortable oircun-
stances but for misplaced investments.
