Prosperity in Agriculture.

One thousand millions Of dollars will
hardly measure the increase In the
farmers receipts for last years pro-
duce over the values that prevailed SO
late as 1895. Over s100.000,000 Of
farm mortgages have been paid off
during the last two years. Mil
lions in chattel mortgages have been
wiped out, and the paying up OF other
forms OF Indebtedness has become
almost a mania at the west. This
has been attended with such an In
crease In bank deposits that through
out much of the Missouri coun-
try interest rates on farm loans are
down TO to per cent. contrasted
with 6 70 10 per cent. or more as late
as two years ago. These gains at the
west are largely responsible for the
vast increase in national bank re-
sources OF over 1000 millions Of
dollars since the low point OF 'S3,
and over 400 millions during the last
II months.

As THE CABINET VIEWS IT.
Comedies with the Presidents Ideas as
to spanish Islands.

Washington. July 29.-The cabinet
went into session to consider our re-
ply to Spain. The answer will prob
ably be- made this afternoon. Ii is
certain Spain must give up Cuba and
Porto Rico. The Philippines decision
iS not yet fully reached. but the
United States will ask port and some
territory.
The cabinet reached these conclu-
sions touching an answer to Spain :
peace proposals: The absolute sur
render of Porto Rico to the United
States: recognition of the independ-
ence Of Cuba; the cession Of one OF
the Ladrone islands to the United
States rs n coaling station, and ces-
sion to the United States of at least a
coaling station in the Philippines.
The question undecided is what dis
position shall he made of the Philip
pines rs n whole. 1t can be stated
that there is practically no difference
of opinion in the cabinet on the ques-
tion of retention of the Philippines as
whole. all being opposed to our ac-
QUESTION Of these islands. There has
been no discussion. however. rs vet on
the extent to which the government
will 90 in its decision respecting the
future of these islands. but it is
probable the answer of the president
will express the willingness of this
government to leave the matter of
the future government of the Philip
pines entirely in the hand. of n Joint
commission to he appointed by this
government and Spain. The proba-
bility is that the United States will
insist on 4 guarantee of certain re-
forms in the government of the
Philippine islands.
No Mention of Money Indemnity.
Our answer will make no mention
of money indemnity. neither will
there be any armstice ut all. The
answer will be in the nature Of an ul-
timatum. and If Spain does not accept
she will fare worse in the future.
There will he no extended diplomatic
