A VOICE FROM THE coRNFIELDs.
Agricultural and Industrial Prosperity in
the South and West.

Int OOuGu dHO w 6St
Eli Perkins in the New York sun.
On THE TRAIN IN NEBRASKA,
July 23.-To see the standing crops of
corn, wheat and hay in Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas. Missouri, Nebraska and Colo
RADIO seems like a dream. l have

are the granaries of the nation, with

/ have not seen such crOpS-Such in
dications of prosperity.
Rains have been copious from the
Ohio to the Rocky Mountains. Even
about Greeley, in Colorado, irrigation
has not been resorted to. Colorado
wheat, corn and fruits are looking
magnificent. The wheat is generally
harvested in Colorado, Kansas and
Texas, but reapers, looking like wab-
bling windmills, are revolving all over
Nebraska.
..Crops good?" l shouted to an old
farmer who had just started four reap
ers into a fity-acre wheat field away
out at Oxford. west of Kearney.
'sGood,' he said. sGood? l should
smile!" and then his eyes, nose and
lHOuO1 COlldpSSu luOO ISHlcIllpcI-tllC-
"Maine" grin. Then, as the train
started off, he screamed: "And we've
got the hogs to eat the corn, too.''
Last year Nebraska had few hogs,
and millions of bushels of old corn fill
great bins around the railroad sta
tions. At one station there were
thirty bins, each 200 feet long.
1t is strange to see the Kansas sun
flower poisoning all over Colorado
and stranger still to have two lectures
wet down the Boulder Chautauqua.
There are no tramps in the West
now. where any man can get S1.50 a
day in the harvest field. Every little
factory is going, too 1 found new

Macon, Mo-, and 400 Missourians were
making 50 day. All the potteries in
New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois and Indi-
ana are at work, and the glass and tin
factories in Indiana are not able to
ill their orders.
Great oil and gas fields are being
worked in Kansas and Texas. Cotton
looks superb all over the South, and
1S6 cotton factories in North Carolina
and 90 in South Carolina are spinning
it.
With wonderful crops, a $500, 900, 900

ing enough territory to pay its own

PRESIDENT MKINLEY
 TALKING INDEMNITY.
It Is Clear That the Administration Will Avoid War With Spain if
 That Is Possible.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-The Her aids Washington correspondent sends the following: Mature and judicial consideration of all the facts, and pre- parations to meet any possible contin- gency, continues to be the policy of the administration in connection with the Maine disaster No new light, official or otherwise, developed to-day as to the initial cause of the great calamity, and the authorities are patiently wait ing. with such fortitude as they can under the circumstances, for the final report of the court of inquiry before definitely deciding on any course of ac- ton.
 The settlement of the serious ques- ton without a conflict with Spain is the main point of discussion between the authorities pending the receipt of the courts conclusions It IS manifest from many quarters that the President, while fully appreciating the temper of the country. does not consider the matter beyond settlement through the medium of diplomacy if the Spanish Govern ment will receive in the proper spirit the demand which is made on it.
 He repeated to more than one friend
The San Francisco call., 1898-02-27
The President Is Still HOpe- full of a Peaceful
 Settlement.
Members of Neither House Will Follow Him if Any Party in Spain Destroyed the
 Maine.

4 WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The idea of demanding a
 money indemnity for the dastardy destruction of the Maine is popular n Congress- It is thought the country will be satisfied consider this would commercial question The only circumstances under which
 money indemnity would be regarded adequate would be if Spain should prove exclusively that the that of private citizen and could produce and punish the culprt.
 The complcity of any political organization fac ton of Spain though enemy to the present ministry and the of Spain would place the respons- bity upon the Spanish Government in way preclude a money settlement.
 proposition held to be clear by well-nformed men about Congress is that if 1t is shown that the explosion occurred from external the immediate assumption will be that the of Spain The burden of proof correct this assumption, if be wrong, will then lie upon Spain If she could prove conclusvely that the crime committed by individual and that the man. of its accomplishment such acquit the Gov ernment of negligence connvance, humble apology and the payment of indemnity would suffice.
 A matter that the situation be looked upon with extreme gravity in Congress is the difficulty that be experienced in qualifying the responsibility of Spain for the disaster The presumpve evidence is gem eraly held in Congress to be that could have

ploded a mine under the Maine without the connlv- ance of the authorities. The accident theory once dis posed of, as 1t has been dis posed of, 1t Is believed this country will be forced to the conclu- sion the crime was the act of Spanish officials.
 It is believed that the present Spanish Ministry, if convinced that the explosion was not the result of an accident, would be willing to make any sort of reparation, and would do this with every show of humility which the dastardly char acter of the crime would demand, but it is feared that the state of public feeling in Spain and among Span iards in Cuba will not admit of the Ministry doing what their better judgment and sentiment of justice and propriety would dictate. It is not thought the Sagasta Government can have anything but the greatest abhorrence for such crime, but the Ministry is not felt to be strong enough to deal with the matter as it should.
 Little doubt is entertained in Congress that if. the Maine was de- stroyed by intent it was the work of Weylerites, aimed as much at Sa- gasta and Blanco as at the United States. It is no exaggeration to say there is a show of impatience over the reported consideration by the President and members of his Cab inet of proposition to demand u money indemnity. The claims now

 Official circles are thoroughly stirred up by cable dispatches from New York and Washington indicating the great importance attached to the Herald's recent dispatch concerning Naval Constructor Fowelson's testi- moly One result already manifest is the increased stringency of the censor ship.
 Strong efforts were made yesterday by the representatives of other New York newspapers to persuade Powell son to deny the character of his evil dence before the board Mir Powell son, however, refused to be quoted in any way, and in explanation of the consistent attitude of silence which he has maintained, simply cited the strict orders of the department.

They were produced before the board of inquiry at the in- stance of Consul General Lee, and their testimony was in effect that they had heard remarks made by cer- tain Spaniards which, in their opinion, indicated a deliberate plot against the Maine.
