It is believed by many OF the best
informed members of Congress now
that an extra session is almost as
sured beyond question, for it is not
known whether all Of the appropria-
ton bills will be passed at this ses-
sion or not; but it is more than prob
able that the army reorganization
bill will fail to pass, and it is certain
that the President will convene Con-
sress IN extra session, If that fails.
This certainty, or very general belief,
has given rise to a discussion Of the
probable speakership OF the next
House. It is asserted now that the
administration and the present Gear
of the House (who have been at cross
purposes on the colonial expansion
policy have signed q aformal protocol,
by the terms OF which it is agreed
that, if A1r. Reed will not oppose any
administration measure, the admins
tration will not oppose his e-election.
If that be true, it it almost an as
sured fact that Thomas B. Reed, Of
Maine, will succeed himself as Speak.
er of the Fifty Sixth Congress. Both
sides are very glad OF this amicable
adjustment; for Mr.. Reed is not anx-
ious for the administrators opposi-
ton to his candidacy, and the admin
istration is rot very anxious for Mr..
Reeds opposition to its pet policies;
so they have agreed ''to bury the
batchet.'

Aguinaldo is about at the emo Vi his
resistance to American dominion
over the archipelago, unless some OF
the powers intervene; and 1t is not
seriously feared that any power will
have the hardihood to take up the
cudgel against the American Repub-
lie in behalf OF the insurgents. Every
effort is being made to capture
Aguinaldo himself, for he is the head
and front Of the whole insurrection;
with him captured and out of the
way, it is believed that the natives
would interpose very slight, if any
resistance, to American dominion
and control. The dispatch from Gen.
Otis Saturday is thought to indicate
that the end to the uprising of the
Philippines is near at hand; for the
opinion prevails in administration
circles now, and has prevailed ever
since the first attack made upon our
troops over there, that Aguinaldo
would not be able to maintain his in
huence over his ignorant followers IN
the face of successive reverses. He
has now sustained these successive
defeats, AID every indication seems
to point to the fact that he is ''in e1-
tremis," and will never be able again
to muster around him, even if he is
not captured, sufficient forces to give
our troops any serious trouble from
now on. Our casualties so far have
been 292, all told; but only few OF
these were fatal. The enemy is not
armed in way to inAict serious dam
age-many Of the Filipinos have no
guns at ali. They are, therefore,
pursuing a forlorn hope when they
aspire to make any headway against
an American army, which is not only
provided wi:b the best modern guns
and modern appliances of intelligent
feld operations and constant com
munication, but also provided with
the best fighting ''grit, skill and
Workmanship" to be had anywhere in
the known world. They were as
helpless before the Spanish army as
the Spanise army was before the
American; then where does their
chance against the American army
come in at al? They simply have no
chance-their doom is inevitable,
and the sooner they realize it and
take advantage OF it, the better it will
be for them. Every life they lose
now is simply a tribute paid to folly.

Winter Wheat Crop.

Washington, March 1T Ii Q
weather bureau in its review of the
winter wheat crop conditions for
February says: Over a large part
of the principal winter wheat area
the crop was exposed to unfavor-
able weather conditions. The re-
ports indicate that the early sown
was in better condition at the close
of February than that seeded late.
The crop seems TO have had most un-
favorable conditions in Oklahoma,
! Iowa, Michigan and New York, the
northern portions of Missouri, Hi
nois and Indiana, Northwestern
Ohio and Central and Eastern Ten
nessee. In Texas the crop made but
little growth and the damage re-
snlting from the severe freeze will be
SO great that many fields will be
splowed up. In Kansas the early
sown has been but little injured and
over the southern portions OF Mis-
souri,, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio the
condition of the crop is generally
promising, while in West Virginia,
Pennsylvania, Maryland and Vir-
GINA, owing to ample protection af-
forded by snow, the reports as to
the condition of wheat are encour-
aging. In Oregon and Washington
the cold weather of the first half OF
the month was unfavorable. In
Northern California the condition is
promising, but rain is now needed
to save it over a large part of the
State.

The Pulp Mill Case.

Cumberland, Feb. 2S.--Col.
George A. Peare, States Attorney
sent his answer to the committee
asking him to abandon the pro-
secution of the West Virginia Pulp
and Paper Company for pollutiDg
the Potomac river. He does not
believe the law contemplate Civ
ing him power to dismiss cases OF
great public moment and interest
upon mere unsworn petitions con-
tanning no statement that the defend
ants are not guilty of polluting the
stream Another ground is that
the Governor has the power under
the constitution and law to extend
clemency and the power to order
abandonment, an d this order the
court sand States Attorney would
be bound to obey.

What Shall We Do.

A serious and dangerous disease
prevails in this country, dangerous
because SO deceptive. 1t comes on
slowly yet surely that it is often
firmly seated before we are aware
of it.
The name of this disease which
may be divided into three distinct
stages is, FIRST Kidney trouble, in
dicated by pain in the back, rheumas
tism, lumbago, frequent desire to
urinate, often with burning sense
ton, the flow OF urine being copious
or scant with strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches
the second stage or Bladder trouble
with heavy pain 10 abdomen low
down between the navel and water
passage, increasing desire to urinate
with scalding sensation in passing,
small quantities being passed with
difficulty. sometimes necessary to
draw it with in struments. If Uric
acid or gravel has formed, it will
prove dangerous II neglected.
The Third stage is Bright's Di-
sease.
There is comfort in knowing that
DR.. Kilmer, the great kidney and
bladder specialist, has discovered
remedy famous for its marvellous
cures of the most distressing cases

music was particularly good, and
the papers by the ladies appointed,
Mrs. M. M. Lynch and Miss Lucy

The Bad Weather.

The severe weather and the deep
snow has unquestioAably been very
destructive to the game. From
many sources we hear that whole
coveys of cartridges froze to death.
1t is also stated that many wild
turkeys have likewise persisted. II
is more than probable that the deer
Jared better, though they must have
had hard time too. A few such
winters coming consecutively, would
doubtless exterminate the small
game.-Hampshire Review.
