IS NOW A LAW.
President Mckinley Afixes His Sig
nature to the Financial Bill
Passed by Congress.

Washington, March 15.-At IA min
utes to one o'clock Wednesday after
noon the president affixed his sigma
ture to the financial bill, thus making
it the law of the land. Mr.. Overstreet,
of Indiana, who had the bill in charge,
arrived at the white house about five
minutes before that time and was
shown into the cabinet room, where he
was joined by the president, who, after
inquiring if the bill had been compared
with care, affixed his signature to it..
At the same time he recalled to those
who stood by the fact that many of
the important financial bills which had
been passed by congress had been ap-
proved on the 18th of the month. He
spoke of the Sherman act, the resump-
ton act, and now the bill which was
before him. In signing the bill the
president used a new gold pen and
holder which Mr.. Overstreet had
brought. with him for the purpose.

BIG GAIN FOR FARMERS.
Received $1,GOO,OOO,OOO More in
1899 Than I'm 1894.

New York March 15.-The Agricul-
turist for March, which contains an
elaborate review of the agricultural
situation from a financial and indus
trial standpoint, makes some interest
ing statements, of which the follow
ing is a synopsis:
The improvement in agricultural condi-
tions now, contrasting with the depth of
depression in 1S94-'96, is as little appreciated
by the outside public as was the farmers
condition during the hard times. 1t is con-
sentative to say that the produce of the
United States farms for the last year was
worth to the farmers over 81, 600 0O0, 900 more
than in either of the depressed years noted
This is an average advance of 81 per cent.
in values compared with the low point
The live stock of the country is said to be
worth $500, 600 900 more than during the hard
times, or a gain of 3S per cent Staple
crops are worth $500, 900, 600 more than them
while other crops show an increase of
5000 600, 900 in value, or a gain of 25 per cent
compared with the depression Of 1884, 95- SO.
The produce of live stock, such as meats,
dairy products, calves, mutton, sheep and
lambs, hides and pelts, colts, mules, ETC.,
are said to show gain of $370, 000,0 900, or 40
per cent above the low point.
The American Agriculturist estimates
that the farms in the United States have in
creased by some 10000 during the last ten
years, against gain of nearly 600, 600 in the
previous decade, and of 100000 from 1870
to 1880, and affirms that large proportion
of these farms go per cent? are occupied
by their owners now than then, while the
number of farms now under mortgage
that are occupied by their owners is no
greater than in $780, AS near as this au-
thority can get at it the amount of mort
cages on farms occupied by their owners
is now about 100000, 600 less than at the be-
ginning of the decade.

BOUND TO HAVE ISLANDS.
The Purpose of Buying Danish West
Indies Not Abandoned by the
Government.

Washington, March lit is learned
that the purpose of the government
to acquire the island of st. Thomas for
a reasonable consideration from Den
mark has not been abandoned notwith-
standing the statement attributed to
the Danish ministers indicating deci-
sion not to part with the island. While
it is not contemplated that any pres
sure should be brought to bear upon
Denmark on this matter, it is still be-
lieyed that the last announcement in
the case is perhaps only an evidence
of purpose on the part of the Danish
authorities to secure a higher price
for the island than the United States
had regarded as proper. 1t is probable
that no active effort will be made by
our government to hasten the negotia-
tions on this subject, but having
learned that the finances of the island
showed deficit last year of SIS, 600 in
spite of the most rigid economy in the
administration, sum charged up
against the home government, it is be-
lieved that our terms will ultimately
be accepted, if reduced to a concrete
proposition to pay 100000 for ST.
Thomas and ST. Cruz

THE COLD WAVE.
1t Reaches the South and 1t Is Feared
Has Caused Much Damage to
the Fruit Crop.

Chicago, March 1.-THE tempera-
ture this morning beat all records for
this late in March since 1888. AT two
o'clock the thermometer registered
one below. The cold weather is gen
eral in most parts of the country In
the south it is believed that the early
strawberry crop is ruined, the Their
mometer at points around Atlanta
registering several degrees below the
freezing point. Chicago and Milwau-
kee seemed to form the center for
the storm. They, with Green Bay, re-
corded zero weather, while at all
other points Friday night the ther-
mometer gave readings above. At
Moorhead, Mimi, it was IA degrees
below zero Friday morning, but the
weather quickly moderated during
the day, bringing the temperature to
above zero at night.

Pretoria, March 13.-President Kru-
ger has appealed for the intervention
of the United States to stop the war.
This appeal has been transmitted
through Mr.. Adelbert S. Hay, the
American consul, and the representa-
tives of other powers at Pretoria have
been requested to urge on their gov
ernments, joint action in the interests
of peace. Consul Hay as yet has re-
ceived no reply from the state depart
ment at Washington. President Kru-
ger, who is anxiously awaiting one,
believes the delay is due to the efforts
of the United States government to
persuade Lord Salisbury to consent
to a cessation of hostilities. President
Kruger does not expect forcible inter-
vention by the United States. His ap-
peal to President Mckinley is for
mediation, and he relies on the pub
lie sentiment of the American people
to prompt the president to make a
favorable response.

Loss of Fourteen Lives.

Newark. N. j., March 13.-Fourteen
italian persons, a majority of whom
were children, were burned to death
in tenement house at an early hour.
Thirteen bodies were recovered from
the ruins within three hours after the
flames had been extinguished. 1t is
asserted that the fire was of incen-
diary origin. The building was a
three-story frame structure, formerly
used as church, but transformed
into tenement house, with small
rooms, scarcely SX10 feet in dimen-
sions, opening into a narrow hallway
on both the second and third floors,
forming veritable fire trap.

come home from campaign with a
stomach like the ostrich's. This, of
course, arises from the exercise, the
open-air life, the constant mental en-

commons. Another good effect is the
rather strange one that war cures
nervousness of the ordinary kind, as
well as headaches and neuralgia.

Authorities differ as to the rdte of
growth of the human hair, and it is
said to be very dissimilar in different
individuals. The most usually ac-
copied calculation gives 61a inches per

exceeds ~ inches or IA inches, while
that of a woman will grow in rare
instances to 20 inches or Is il ches,
though the average does not exceed
IS inches to 80 inches.

Views of Gen. Wheeler.
Washington, March II. = Gen. Jo-
seph Wheeler arrived here yesterday
on his return from service in the Phil
ippines. The diminutive warrior looks
none the worse for his experience in
the archipelago, and, while he appears
to have lost some flesh, he seems to
have improved in health. AS is well
known, Gen. Wheeler presented his res
ignation last November, but it has not
yet been accepted. When this is done
Gen. Wheeler will present himself at
the bar of the house and ask to be
sworn in.
Future of the Islands.
In speaking of the soldiers in the
Philippines Gen. Wheeler says:
"Our soldiers have done wonderfully we'll.
Strong, sturdy, fearless boys they are, and
not a man fears to obey an order. Under
the conditions existing in the Philippines
the work of the troops has been more than
praiseworthy, and these same volunteers
could win in any battle against any foe. 1
enjoyed splendid health all through my
campaign, and have experienced no i'll eff
fects.
ct was favorably impressed with the
Filipinos. They are, in the main, intelli-
gent. courteous and kind and will make
splendid citizens. Only one-sixth of one
per cent. were induced to carry arms
against us.
II think they are capable of self-govern-
ment under certain restrictions. They
could be given power to make laws I'M
der such a system of government as has
been adopted in our territories and 1 be-
lieve they could get along without friction
There is a wonderful future for the
Philippines. The islands are rich, and in
time of peace, with proper cultivation and
with American enterprise, they will prove
Immensely wealthy. 1t seems to me that
there is no limit to the possibilities before
us, and there is prosperity in store for both
the United States and our new possess
sionS."
