md Parker again dosed the enemy's
Dover with Krag-Jorgensen bullets.
During this fight Parker completely 81.
fenced a Spanish battery which threw
3 inch shells from a range of 9, 200
yards. On July Parker took the wheels
from the carriages and mounted his
Gatlings behind sandbag parapets.
Throughout the siege his fire was most
effective, and one day he silenced a
Spanish battery of seven pieces located

shots were fired from it to the end of
the siege.

FARMERS IN LUCK.


The farmers of this country made more
money in 1898 than ever before in its his.
tory. The forthcoming statistical repor,
from the department of agriculture al
Washington will show Unprecedented
prosperity. The corn crop in 1896 amount
cd to 22S3, SI5, 165 bushels, valued at s449,
276, go; in 1897 it was 1,s02, 800, 1913 bushels,
valued at 1901, T2, $50. In 1898 according tc
present estimates, the volume was not
only largely increased. but the farm valuc
of corn throughout the country averaged
"a cents a bushel more than in 1897.
The wheat crop in 1896, at 7g cents a
bushel. was valued at si27, 6+, S46; in 1897,
at sos per bushel, it was valued at s42S,
549, 12l. The increase in 1898 was 1,4ll, So
acres, the largest in history. and the crop
was Unprecedented in quality, quantity
and price.
The barley crop in 1897 was worth s2j,-
49, 39 at 81 cents IA bushcl. The figures
for 1928 are not in yet, but the price is
Ala cents a bushel and the preliminary re-
port shows a crop slightly above the aver
age. The same may be said of rye, which
is quoted at 46.3 cents "A bushel, against
Az in 1897.
The farm price for oats in 1898. accord
ing to the official figures Of the a~gricul-
tural department, is 25.G cents "a bushel,
against 2l.2 for 1897 and 1873 in 1896. The
totals are not in yet, but in 1897 the crop
was valued at s1i7,9 Z 7l9.
Potatoes are now worth 4l.4 cents a
bushel on the farm, which is a large fall
ing off from 1897 when they sold for a.
cents. but 1t is said that the difference
Will be more than made up by the increase
in the volume of the crop, which is be-
licved to be q per cent greater than in
1897. when the total was valued at $50,
6i3,o59.
The hay crop of the United States in
1897 was valued at $+Jl $50, 72S, with hay
selling at s6,62 a ton. In 1898 the crop was
the best on record, and it is selling at an
average of ST "A ton throughout the coun-
try.
During the calendar year ended Decem-
Der 81, the value of the breadstuffs sold
abroad was 1911, 0r0, 900, provisions STA
10000. and cotton $3.50, O0O.OO making Il
total of 1924, cox, 1000 worth of farm product

Pushed by Some Republicans.

There are Republicans, too, who favor
III extra session, those who want to sec
currency legislation enacted and believe it
will be when the Republicans nave Il good
sized majority in the senate and control
the house by Il small, but working major
ity. All winter workers have been main
tanned here trying to convince the Rcpub-
lican leaders that the time is now ripe TO
take up and settle the currency question.
But they have not been very successful,
and the reports have zone forth that there
was little prospect of III extra session.
Now that some of the leading Democrats
are said to be In a movement to bring
about an extra session, the more promi-
nent Republicans in both houses are less
inclined to CRAFTY their desires. Extra
sessions are felt to he more or less disas-
trous to the party in power, and the gen
cral desire to avoid them prevails not only
with the administration, but in congress-.
The number of Republicans in official life
favoring n session next spring is very

.The Best Lnid Plans" Etc.

And yet, even if the Democrats or a con-
siderable number of them should believe it
was policy to force an extra session, it is
by no means sure that they will succeed.
1t would take a reasonably compact or
Ranization to bring it about, an organiza-
ton that might not be apparent on the
surface, but yet directed by n master hand.

an Early Meeting of the Etfty-siXth
Congress-.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-[Spccial. 1T is
apparent that some political maneuvcring
Is being lone by the leaders of the parties
In Washington. Democratic leaders arc
taking an account of stock n figuring
upon the best plan to regain %ascondency in
national affairs. They are feeling their
way cautiously and will mako no move
until they are sure of advantage to be gain
cd. This is sensible and shows good man
ugcmcnt. lust now some close calculations
are being made upon the effect of an extra
session, and some of the shrewdcst poll
ticians Of the party have advised forcing
an extra session as n means of cmbarrass-
ing the Republicans. 1t Is thought that
with the many subjects yet to be consider
ed and the unlimited debate allowed in tho
senate there would be little difficulty in
putting ,yer not only some of the appro-
priation bills, but the army reorganization
bill and the peace treaty and compelling
a special session of the next congress soon
after March 4. 1t was not until very re-
Gently hat this plan was considered, US at
the beginning of the year it was under
stood that no on desired an extra session,
and congress woh, work diligently to
clear up all neces ~ business. And even
now, with the delays that have occurred,
there would be no difficulty in clearing the
calendar of bills actually needed if the de-
sire to debate measures should be curbcd.
But it would rot be necessary to make any
great effort in the other direction to bring
about such a congestion of business as to
find the adjournment reached and lcgisla-
ton unfinished.

The Party Adyantagc,

From the Democratic point of view, as
outlined by II senator whose advice is
sought on all party measures, it is said
that the Republicans would be seriously
embarrassed If there was an extra session
and no attempt was made toward currency
legislation. If it was tried and u failure
should follow, it would be to the advan-
tage of the Democrats in the east. where
there is n great demand for a settlement
of the financial question. In casting u
horoscope over the next congress such 70
failure is predicted, because it is not be-
lievcd any measure could be framed which
would pass a house where the Republicans
have but IL or 10 majority. If n bill was
passed satisfactory to the eastern men, it
is thought there would be a great loss to
the party in the west. These views are the
result of some careful inquiries that have
been instituted among the Republicans
who have been reelected to the house. 1t
is known also that many experienced lead
ers III both houses are averse to u plunge
into the financial whirlpool. While this
feeling is well known to exist among the
Republicans, the Democrats, on the other
hand, not being responsible for congress
sional action, and yet strong enough to
make any legislation that may pass strict
ly of n partisan nature, for which the Re
publicans will be wholly responsible, view
the prospect with complacency, feeling
sure hat no matter what is done enough
dissatisfaction will spring up among the
people to jc%opardize future Republican
success.
