a total loss. In this building were

estimated at 100000 at the lowest.
and it is very probable that it will
reach a higher figure. as all the pat

Washington, Feb. 16.-The president
has conveyed assurances to some of
the party leaders in congress
| that he will certainly call congress
together in extra session il If fails
to pass the army reorganization bill at
| the present session. In answer to re-
peated inquiries the administration has
been obliged TO decline all propositions
looking TO the tfding over of the needs OF
the army by passing a joint resolution
simply extending the appropriations on
the basis OF the present organization,
holding that this device would be utter
~ Inadequate to meet the absolute
necessities OF the case. The status OF
the volunteers would. it is said, be eX-
tremely unsatisfactory, and there would
be absolutely no assurance that the
president could retain them in service
even when the emergency was great.
The same statement would apply to the
regular army soldiers who enlisted for
the war.
Must Have Those staff and Line Officers
a very serious objection to the joint
resolution programme, according to the
war department officials. would be it's
failure to supply the staff and line Off
GERS absolutely needed. These officials
say that the pending Hull bill provides
for just SOD original appointments of
second Iieutentants. and il is declared
to be the policy OF the administration to
divide these places among the states
and territories on the basis of the popu-
lation.
War ONCE Against CockrelI's Bill.
Reports from the senate end of the
Capitol convey the impression to the Of
ficials that the speediest way to secure
action upon the reorganization bill is to
allow the Cockren bill to be reported
from the military committee, ii being
understood that this bill commands the
support of the majority of that COM
Inittee. Providing. as it does, for a
purely native soldiery in Cuba. Porto
Rico and the Philippines. the measure
is looked upon by the war department
officials as most unsatisfactory. There
fore they have urged their friends in
the senate. while allowing this bill to be
reported from the committee. to move
the adoption of the Hull bill as it came
from the house as a substitute.

Crop Prospects.

The department of agriculture issues
the following bulletin for the week past
for Wisconsin:
The average temperature for the week
was slightly lower than that of the pre-
ceeding, but about degrees higher than
that of the same week last year. Heavy
frosts occurred in exposed localities on
Wednesday morning, but vegetation was
not sufficiently advanced to be liable to
injury. The rainfall was liberal and
fairly well distributed, being heaviest in
the central and highest in the northern
and southern sections. The early part of
the week was cool and cloudy, but with
the frequent warm rains and increase in
temperature, vegetation, which had been
held in check during the past two weeks
made very rapid progress, and the sea-
son is now but little behind the average.
Seeding is practically completed in the
southern and central counties and the
early-sown grain is coming up nicely.
Some preparations for corn have been
made, but the soil is generally too wet to
work to advantage. Early potatoes are
being planted. Pastures have made
good growth during the week and stock
has been turned on, except in a few 10
calities. Fruit trees are budding but
are generally reported less heavily load
ed than last year.

The military court appointed to inves-
tigate the charges made by Mai.-Gen.
Miles, that the beef supplied to the army
during the war with Spain was unfit for
the use of the troops, has reported; and
President Mckinley approves the same.
The court finds that Gen. Miles "had no
sufficient justification for alleging that
the refrigerator beef was chemically pre-
pared or unfit for the troops" Also,
that he committed an error in failing to
promptly notify the secretary of war
when he first formed the opinion that
the food was unfit" The verdict is that
there was no such thing as embalmed
beef, though canned roast" is pronounc-
ed an unsuitable field ration. The find
ing is that the packers were not at fault
and that the meats supplied to the army
were of the same quality as those sup
piled to the trade generally, and the
recommendation is that no further pro-
ceedings be taken in the premises.

ONE of the most significant movements
of the times is the growing demand for
agricultural education. It is all the
more significant, because it comes up
from the farmers and country people
themselves, instead of being carried
down to them. Indeed, we find a more
intelligent idea of the true principles of
education among progressive farmers
families than in any other class of peo-
gple They appreciate the higher educa-
tion given by the agricultural colleges
the work of experiment stations and of
various forms of extension work or home
study for adults, but the fundamental
demand is for better teaching and the in
PRODUCTION of the principles of agricul-
ture in the public school.

THE legislature has done some things
which will rebound to the credit of the
party which is responsible and to the
benefit of the people as we'll. Appropri-
'ations have been large, but they have
been all for needed additions to the
reformatory and penal institutions of the
state, for educational purposes, and to
properly maintain and conduct the var
ious state institutions. Taxation meas
ures have been passed which will bring
into the public treasury several hundred
thousand dollars more of revenue. The
pledges of the party have also been kept
in the passage of an anti-pass law and
one regulating the lobby-evil Many
good measures of practical valve to the
people have also been passed.

PROF. EMERY's FINE PURCHASE.
His Jersey Strain, the Best in the Country.
A Carload of Jerseys.

Former State Supt J. @. Emery re-
celved last week a fine shipment of regis
tered A. J. c. G. Jersey cattle, selected
by Sydney L. Emery and purchased from
r. S. Kingman of Sparta, Wis, of whom
G.. I. Hood, the millionaire patent medi-
cine manufacturer and stock breeder,
speaks as one of the oldest, most promi-
nent and successful breeder of Jersey
cattle in the northwest. Mr.. Kingman
has probably won more prizes at state
cattle in the west and the animals con-
signed to Mr.. Emery are all royalty bred,
and have made records as great butter
producer and prize winners.
The COWS are high testers, persistent
mixers and one of them, Pet Pedro, has
a yearly record of more than 600 pounds
of butter; she was selected for the 80
day test at the Worlds Fair in Chicago
in 1893, by the American Jersey Cattle
Club, to help defend the honor of the
Jerseys in that competition, but Mr..
Kingman for some reason refused to al
low her to compete in the contest that
made the Jersey famous and in which
other breeds of dairy cattle were beaten.
These COWS, with one exception, are eth
err granddaughter of Pedro, who sold
for $4,000 when young and who after
wards won first and sweepstake prizes at
the Worlds Fair in Chicago, and who
was never beaten in show ring, or of
Stoke Pogis 5th, who has more grand
daughters in the standard list with but
ter tests, than any other bull living Or
dead The bull which came with this
herd and which will hereafter head Mr..
Emery's herd of Jersey cattle, is Pedro's
Pretty Pogis son of old Pedro mention
ed above and himself a prize winner at
the Worlds Fair. He has since that time
won seven first prizes at seven state or
greater fairs in the west A prominent
Jersey breeder writes Mr.. Emery as fol-
lows: "Pedro's Pretty Pogis is, [ believe
unequalled by any other Jersey bull in
the west and surpassed by no bull in the
east, either in point of breeding or quail
ity.
