THE WHEAT CROP.

It is evident from the report of
the wheat condition, which has just
been made by the government, that
the yield in 1899 will be smaller than
was expected few weeks ago. The
cold weather last winter and the
absence Of an adequate snow cover
ing for the ground injured the winter
wheat to such an extent that the
condition, as seen by the government
report, is about 234 per cent below
that of year ago. The spring
wheat, too, is not up to the forecast
made in May.
Conservative estimates based on
the acreage and average condition
make the wheat yield of 1899 from
525.OO0,OOO to 55O,OOO,OOO bushels,
as against a crop of 675,0OO,0OO
bushels in 1898. 1t must be re-
membered, however, that the yield
OF 1898 was the largest ever bar-
vested. The 60O,00O,00O mark IN
wheat production was never passed
before in this country. except IN
1891, when the yield was $780,
OO0 bushels. The largest yield in
any other year was that of 1897,
which was 53O,149,168 bushels. The
yield of 1899, therefore, even at the
lowest estimate yet made, will be as
great as any ever harvested except
in 1851 and 1898. On such an ex-
hibit as this the country will find no
encouragement. Moreover. sur
plus of about 1OO,OO0,OO0 bushels is
stall left unused, it is believed, of
last years crop.
In any case the wheat yield of
1899 will be sufficient to meet the
wants of the country for food and
for seeding, and allow fair margin
for expectation. That there viii be |
a considerable demand from abroad |
is exceedingly probable. Russia's
wheat crop 1T is believed from the !
latest indications, will be much be-
low the average of recent years, and
that country is ordinarily heavy
exporter of wheat. In the other
European countries. in the aggregate
the crop, It's figured, will be about
a mean yield. The reports of the
wheat situation al home and abroad
Justify the recent advance in that
cereal. They also indicate that the
American farmer win find a good
demand for his crop, while the
American consumer is not likely to |
have to pay exorbitant prices for
his food.-Globe-Democrat.

GEN. BROOKE CRITICISED.

Wasltngt-n, Jan. 24.-Priva.a le'- tors received from Havana, written by persons friendly to the administ ation contain scme disquieting rep-rts about the way affairs are going there under Gen. Brooke.

Havana. Jan. 24.-Another 5000, 900 deal is all but completed, by wh oh an American syndicate will acquire tEe San Jcse decks and warehouses. This is the finest property Of its kind in th1 western hemisphere, and in some ways in the world A lsase has bsel refused, th-ugh several companies have desired 10 take it fer a lcng term of years.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The prlsi- dent in his last annual message tc c-n- gress pointed out the need Of securing an agreement with the principal mar itime powers fer est aiblishing as a per manent law of civilized nati-Es tte principle of the exemption Of all prop crty at sea nct c0ntraband of WEE, from the capture or destruction by beIl; gerent p-wers in time Of war.

URGE PROMPT ACTION
importance of Ratification of Peace
 Treaty Presented 10 inc Senate

Washington, Jan 24.-Two notable speeches were delivered in the senate today, one by MT. Lodge Of Massa- chusetts and the other by MT. Clay of Georgia. While the two senators diff fered diametrically as to the policy of expansion, upon which they dwelt, both are in favor Of the immediate rat ;fication Of the pending peace treaty. They contend that once the treaty is ratified congress will have full power to deal with the conditions respecting the territory acquired during the war with Spain, and not before. Mir. Lodge particularly argued for a formal dec laration of peace. which could be had only by ratification Of the treaty.
 At the conclusion of these speeches consideration of the peace treaty was resumed in executive session. The Berry resolution for consideration of the treaty in open session was voted down without roll call The p~inci- pal speeches Of the general debate were made for the treaty by Senators Teller and Frye and by Senator Ho2r in op- position

The Filipino Junta in LCndon Fears
 Trouble at HOme.

Lordcn, Jan. 24.-The Filipinc' junta here today received a cable me = sage from AgonciE3, Aguinaldo's rep resentative at Washington, declaring that the prospects were improv ng though the work was difficult.
 The absence 'lf -di. .ect news from Manila and the receipt of secret intel ligence from Washington is causing the gravest anxiety among the Fili- pines here. The arrests of FiIipinos by Major General Otis and the news that numbers of the FilipinCs have fled is regarded as Q serious occur renee It is pointed cut by Filipiros that this is exactly what happened in 1896 under General BlanOC, w2en the Fil:pincs, on the following day at tackled the Spaniards and the rev-lu- ton broke out. Members of the Ell pino junLa in this city say that they are so anxious to avoid war that they are cabling Manila tcday urging the FilipinCs, Not to start hcQ ilitiCs if there is the 1Cmotest possibility Of averting trouble"

DEMOCRATS INDIGNANT.
Resert Being Placed in Attitude of
 Opposing Treaty.

Washington, Jan. 24.-A cons der able number of democrats in congress are indignant at the idea of that party belng dragged into the position of op- posing the ratification of the pace treaty as a party move. They contend that while two CT three republicans may stand with the oppozit;cn to the treaty, the attitude Of the democratic senators in organizing and compos- ing the major part cf the opposition
 will fierce the party to shoulder re- sponsibility which may be disastrous to it.
 The resentment at this method of opposition is rot confined to men who may be termed expansion ists, but is entertained by these who, like MT. W. J. Bryan, oppose the rebenti 3n Of the Philippines, but insist that the trea-y should be ratified. These men feel that if, by f1libuster, the ratification of the trel3ity at this session were pre- vented the democratic party would b7 made to feel the popular resentment, and that it would be impossible to jus tify the action on the ground Of mere opposition to the retention of the Phil ippineS.
 The answer to such a plea would be that MT. Bryan who is making a fight in opposition to expansion, is himself in favcu of ratifying the treaty, ss sf ether democrats who expose expansion and that it is a se,f-evident propcsi- tICn that the defeat Of the treaty is not necessary to the adoption Of an anti eXpanSicn policy.
 The advocates Of the treaty express entire confidence in their ability ta secure the ratification of the treaty, and are not generally disposed to cffer any concession,

Washington, Jan 24.-The two fac tiOnS Of the sena.e who have divided on the question of the amount of pow CT which should be exercised by the committee on appropriations in deal ing with the annual supply bills arc rapidly approaching an agreement The faction opposed to the present order Of things have sought to have the com- mittee shOrn of much of it's power by withdrawing from it's control some of the most important bills.

 This practical certainty that the ap : propriations committee will retain nearly all of it's present importance haS led Senator Allison, it's chairman, t% decide to l etain the chaifmanShip.
