EMMY Victory.

AS the needle points the pole, so
have the signs pointed war. There
could have been no mistaking them.
t'or months they stretched their great
arms across the horizon toward where
the dogs of war were held. telling that
they would soon be loosed.
they have been loosed, their leashes
have been cut, and today two great
nations scowlingly confront each other
about to lock in deadly embrace. The
one youthful, strong, proud of its
strength, and sinewous proportions.
confident and eager for the fray. The
other aged and grim, in the decline Of
life, hoary from its many years, but
proud and brave, conscious Of past
greatp ess and the power it has exerted
amongst nations, nerYed for the su-
preme effort before it, not inviting
attack, but not stunning il, waiting
sullenly, defiantly, but heroically fer
the spring Of its young antagonist.
Thus do the United States and Spain
stand confronting each other. In al
moment more will come the rush of
these two gladiators, in a moment
more will we hear the clash of steel
and see the dust and smoke of battle
rise in the arena. No one can doubt
the result, who has looked at the war
riors as they approach each other, but
the battle may be longer, the fight

A MiIIIon.DolIar Telegram.

Mr. Thomas P. Grasty in the Manu-
facturers' Record of the 18th, has in
part the following to say:
At the end of recent week of I'M
prec ..oessrlty to the Chesa-
peal. & Ohio Railway, & high water

signalized by escaped from the slight
est accident or even the serious delay
of a single train, President ingalls, sent
out congratulatory telegram not to
the security holders, not to the stock
holders, not even to the newspapers,
but to the rank and file of that loyal
industrial army to whose energetic
vigilance this gratifying result was
due.

the singular loyalty that characterizes
G. s. o. employees, 1 mentioned their
almost affectionate regard for Mr.. In
gals and the fact that he seemed to
enjoy their confidence to an extraor
binary degree. Anyone who travels
much over either the q. & o. or the
"Big Four and who takes occasion
to talk with the trainmen, will, be sure
to hear utterances in harmony with
this feeling of loyalty, which go to
show the existence of a really superb
esprit de corps. Az Mr. ingalls, is not
a particularly affable man, nor what

how he ever managed to get SO strong
a hold on the hearts of his subordi-
mates, from the highest to the hum

had earned it, explains it ALL"
The same kindly feeling could be en-
gendered and maintained by the rail

Very Latest.

The President signed the resolu-
tions yesterday. He sent them to the
Spanish minister with 2 polite, but
firm demand that Spain take down her
flag and withdraw her troops from
Cuha within three days. This OF
course Spain will refuse to do. 1t is
not certain that she will even make re-
ply to this demand. but if she does it
is presumed that it will be a defiant
refusal.
1t is therefore expected that naval
engagement will take place this week
and possibly the troops move on Cuba
also. There is no longer any chance
for foreign mediation, though there is
still some talk of it. Our volunteer
soldiers are hourly awaiting q call

GRAIN TRADE AND CROPS.

The Cincinnati Price, Current of last
Thursday says
The week has not been seasonable,
the temperature being relatively low
for the time of year, checking growth
hard freezings are commented on in
the late correspondence, and indicate
that damage resulted in many sections
to the oats crop, although not to an
extent likely to seriously disturb the
general outcome.
In regard to wheat, the recent cool
temperature, with ample moisture, ap
pears to have been favorable, and the
crop continues in good promise Is near
Iy all sections east Of the Rocky noun
tains. The late advices from Cali.
fornia appear to present the situation
there in a less satisfactory form
The fruit crops have suffered to some
extent, but probably not SO seriously
as has been feared.
A change to more genial tempera
ture, with sufficiency Of moisture, will
speedily bring forward vegetation, and
enable the farmers to finish their
spring planting operations.
The wheat markets have gained
some strength the past week, especial
ly at the close, manifestly attributable
| in large degree to sentiment abroad in
anticipation of hogtilities between the
country and Spain. The low position
of supplies renders the market espe-
cially susceptible to strengthening in
| fuences. At the same time the situa-
ton is not without elements which
| will be calculated to stand more or less
| in the way of an extravaganza advance
under speculation.
