Marks N lMER,Cln EPOCH
The Record Of the Fifb-Fifth Con-
gress of the United States,
ADDS A NEW LEAF TO HISTORY

WAeHIN0T0N, Feb 21--An eventful
period in the country's history is COW
cred by the work Of the Fifty-iifth
Congress, which is drawing to . close
It has been period Of stirring and
dramatic action, with questions Of vast
magnitude constantly engaging atten-
ton, forming an epoch alongside
those other American epochs-the
Revolution and the civil war. This
Congress has declared war against q
foreign foe and the treaty making
branch has participated in ratifying
the treaty by which that war was ter
minated. 1t has provided a great vol
unteer army, has enlarged the regu-
lar army and has expanded the navy
to meet war emergencies and new con-
ditiona
The tariff has been revised, first by
the Dingley law and then by the war
revenue act; bond issue. known as
the war loan, has been provided But
far reaching as these war measures
are, the Congress has had time also to
enact other legislation which under
ordinary circumstances would make
its session memorable. This includes:
The annexation of Hawaii.
The rejection by the Senate of the
general treaty of arbitration wit h
Great Britain.
The enactment of a national bank
ruptcy law.
Provision for taking the twelfth CEN
sus.
Reorganization of the personnel of
the navy.
To this list may yet be added other
important subjects still pending, in.
Guiding the Nicaragua canal, the in
crease of the regular army, the anti
scalping measure, the Hawaiian bill,
and the proposed encouragement of
American shipping. Some Of the most
important general measures are in the
final legislative stages, and it will not
be until the last hours arrive that the
success or failure of these measures
will be determined definitely.
The total appropriations of the
present session will approximate $780,
600. 900, of which about $3.50, 600, 900
will be for the military and naval uses
or for subjects connected with the
war. This is a general estimate, how
ever, based upon totals which may
undergo much change. II the Mica
ragua canal amendment is added
to the river and harbor bill this
will make a material increase. In
cluded in the naval bill are provisions
for three seagoing battleships, three
armored cruisers and six small cruis-
ers, for which so, 900, 900 is appropri-
ated for the first years work. Based
on estimates, the total appropriations
for the Congress mot including the
four appropriation bills left over by
the former Congress) would be approx
imately 81, GOO, DOC. 900. of which amount
approximately 5000, 900, 900 is for war
expenses Or incident to the army and
navy.

FRUIT HAS BEEN INJURED.

OsoAardlss Everywhere Alarmed Ovss
This Years Crops
COLUMBIA, Mo-, Feb 2z.-The recent
unprecedented cold spell has caused
universal alarm among fruit growers
all over the country, and the authori.
ties of the Missouri experimental sta
ton have been besieged with letters
and dispatches inquiring about the in.
juries to buds and trees l. A. Good
man, secretary of the State Horticul-
tural society, made the following
statement for the benefit of fruit
growers:
''The reports of lowest temperature
vary from 81 degrees to Sc degrees be-
low zero. Such weather has injured
not only the fruit, but also the trees
and in some localities probably killed
the peach trees to the snow line. The
apple crop is safe, and only some of
the most tender varieties are injured.
1.-THE pear buds are badly injured
and in some localities entirely killed.
This crop will be very light. The trees
also are badly injured in many places.
Plum buds are also injured, especially
is this true of the japanese varieties; a
few of the American varieties and
some of the European varieties are
also injured. The Japanese plum trees
are also badly injured The cherry
buds, the Morello varieties, are safe.
Some of the Duke varieties are slight.
~ injured and also the Heart varie-
ties, but the early Richmond is our
standby and we will probably have a
good crop of them All hardy varieties
of the grape are safe for crop. The
strawberry where well mulched is all
right. The raspberry is generally
badly injured and the crop will be
short. Hardy varieties of the black
berry are all sound and the crop prom
ises well.
If we can have a good crop of ap-
pies, as now seems, a good crop Of
strawberries, cherries and blackber-
ries, and partial crop Of pears, plums
and raspberries, we will not suffer for
fruit and perhaps the fruit men may
make little money. They ought to
make some this wear"

assurance that the United States in.
tended to establish a stable govern
ment in the island and then to deliver
it to the Cubans themselves. These
assurances were vociferously ap-
plauded.
General Gomez himself did not
speak. owing to the hoarseness from
which he is suffering. General An

ALL IS QUIET At MAIILh.
American Flag Is Now Floating
Over Cebu.
TWO MORE KANSANS WOUNDED

MANILA. Feb. 27.-Au is quiet inside
AMI outside of Manila except near Cal
ocs n where the enemy's sharpshooters
continue to annoy our troops ct .
comparatively close range. One man
of the Twentieth Kansas volunteers
was killed in Ariquina village which
was burned last night and four were
wounded in the skirmish, one of the
Idaho. one of the Minnesota and two
of the Pennsylvania regimenta
Last night the rebels concentrated
in such numbers near the Chinese
cemetery that General Macarthur
anticipated an attack and asked for
reinforcementa Two companies of
the Twenty-third regulars were sent
to Calocan and battalion of the
Twentieth regulars TO the cemetery at
about midnight.
But the expected attack was not
made. The rebels after making q
great noise with bugle calls and yells
of ''Viva Independence" and ''Mucho
nalo Americanos," and firing volleys,
disappeared in the woods
1t is believed their leaders are get
ting desperate and are attempting to
force the United States troops to make
an attack in the hope of breaking
through the American lines, but the
rebels are evidently unwilling to be
pacified when facing the Americans.
It is just possible, however. that they
may be goaded into such q move be-
fore more reinforcements arrive.
According to advices brought this
morning by the steamer Nuestra SEN
ora del Carmen, whose arrival brought
the news that the American flag had
been raised over the island of Cebu,
the United States gunboat Petrol,
Commander C. Cornwell. visiting Cebu
on February %, Commander Cornwell
sent an ultimatum ashore, declaring
the intention of the Americans to take
possession-peaceably, if possible, by
force, if necessary. The rebels imme-
diately vacated, taking their guns to
hills. A party of marines and blue
jackets were landed and the American
flag was raised by them over the gov
ernment building, which they still &C.
cupied when the Nuestra Sonora del
Carmen left.
A battalion of the Twenty third
regulars left for Cebu to-day by the
United States transport Pennsylvania
The same steamer brought dispatches
from Brigadier General Miller at Iloilo
to Major General Otis, reporting that
ali was quiet there; that there had
been no further fighting; that con-
fdence had been restored and bust
ness was being generally resumed.
General Miller thinks it probable that
the natives will soon become con-
WINGED of the error of opposition to
the inevitable and that the example
act by the inhabitants of Negroes is
having its effect among the other
islands which, though not entirely
convinced, are, in General Miller's
opinion, open to reason.
