The Farmer * ' Millennium nt Hand , According to AVllnoii. There will be no more crop failures. This prediction is confidently iride by Secretary Wilson , who knows more about agriculture than any other man In public life. The Secretary is antici pating only normal conditions , such us the weather experienced year after year , and does not say that some great calamity Iii the form of floods or a wide area of freezing weather in July may not descend upon the earth out of some remote corner of the heavens , j 'Early and late frosts , drouth and prolonged rainy seasons , torrid heat and lack ; , of sunshine , grasshoppers , , rust and other pests and diseases are ' considered by the Secretary as condi tions which the farmers must guard against to insure crops. s "When I say there will be no more crop failures , I do not mean that every seed each farmer plants will thrive and produce , " explained the Secretary. "We may , " however , safely count upon sufficient crops to supply our own needs and leave a surplus for export. A flood may visit some valley and acres of growing crops may be washed away. Grasshoppers may , and probably will , again appear in Kansas. Hot winds will blow , but we will not hear so much of the grasshoppers and the hot winds in the future. "The grasshoppers will find so much to eat that they will not be noticed , and the hot winds will find so much fresh and green to blow against that they will be checked and cooled. Speak ing seriously , however , the farmers nowadays go about their work with cool deliberation and knowledge of what they can accomplish. They select the seeds of the crops they know will produce the best resuits upon the soil 'to be cultivated. "Certain varieties of corn and wheat , for Instance , require more heat and moisture than others. Where the grow ing seasons are usually dry and hot the farmer will not plant the corn which the farmer where more moisture is to be expected would use. Farming is fast being reduced to a science , if It may not be said that it has reached that stage already. Scientific methods now widely prevail. Deep plowing , soil Investigation , seed selection , Improved machinery , all combine to assure the farmers at harvest time of a fair re ward for their toil and outlay. They have Intrenched themselves to such an extent that dispatches In the newspa pers of variations in normal climatic conditions during crop seasons will not cnuse the apprehension of crop failures as in years gone by. There may and probably will be poor crops in certain count'f 5. and I will not say that the I crops this year will be as large as last i year , but I repeat we will not have what can be called crop failures. " The passage of the bill to relieve labor unions from all financial responsibility from the acts of individual members dur ing strikes by a large majority in the House of Commons was regarded as a complete surrender of the Bannerman government to the new laborite faction. The Charity Organization Society has established a special employment bureau at its N'ew York headquarters * or the ben efit of those persons who , by illness , acci dent , infirmity or previous bad record , are unable to re-establish themselves , but who are able and willing to do some honest work. The striking miners in the north of France , numbering about 41,000 , resumed their aggressive attitude Monday. Several houses were destroyed by dynamite and at two points barricades were erected , which were charged by the troops. The companies have notified the strikers that they will not have any more conferences. Owing to the success of co-operative coal mines in the Saginaw valley , Michi gan , under the direction of union men , it is now proposed , says Public Opinion , that the business men of the same region organize a co-operative company to sup ply cheap coal to manufacturers. The Saginaw board of trade says that coal can be supplied on this plan at about § 1 a ton. Florence Woolston tells in Charities nnd the Commons of a fraternity of wage- earning girls which has recently been or ganized as a part of the neighborhood life about the Speyer school , of New York's upper west side. Membership is open to any wage-earning girl over 15 years old , no matter what kind of work she does. Unity and co-operation are the watch words. Once a month open meetings are held for addresses and discussions on live topics. The elections of workmen within St. Petersburg proper for the delegates to the municipal convention , which are to elect six members of the lower house of the dumas , were no less farcical than the previous elections of workmen in the out side factories. Out of sixty-seven city factories , twenty-nine refused to take any part whatsoever , and of the remainder only a minority voted. Of those delegates elected , about one-half were constitutional Democrats and the other half Conserva tives or members of the reactionary black hundred. In the Meyerdale region of the Mary land coal fields a voluntary advance of 5 cents a ton by companies employing 3,000 men was made Thursday. The man agers say that the policy of the coal com- [ > anies is to nay the men all the market : onditions will permit. We * < ern Union's Anniversary. The Western Union Telegraph Com pany , which celebrates its 50th anniver sary this month , maintains 200,224 miles ) f poles and cables , 1,184,457 miles of wire and 23,814 offices. Last year It ient 67,477,320 messages In making an effort Friday to get the Senate to agree upon a date for a vore on the railway rate bill Mr. Tillman made the important statement that one week more probably would exhaust the general lebate on the measure. Mr. Aldrich would aot consent , however. During tfcv session there were three speeches on tht bill by Messrs. Blkins , Gamble and Kean. A bill authorizing a cable from Key West , Fla. . to Guantanauio , Cnba , and thence to th > > Isthmus of Panama , for governmental and commercial purposes , at a cost of $027.- 000 , was passed. The tariff , railway mail subsidies and denatured alcohol were the features of the debate in the House , the postofiice appropriation bill being under consideration. _ * * There was no session of the Senate & I- urday. The House continued the consid eration of the postoffice appropriation bill , and in the latitude accorded under general debate the discussion took on a wide raoige , including railway mail pay. in creasing wages for rural letter carriers , the American smelter trust and the cor rupt use of money in elections , with a sidelight on the naturalization laws. Without touching any paragraph ofthe bill under discussion adjournment was taken at 4:45 p. m. until Monday. * * Mr. McLaurin and Mr. Morgan ad dressed the Senate Monday , the former advocating railway rate legislation and the latter opposing it on the ground that it interfered with State rights. Mr. Ber ry of Arkansas reapeared in the Senate after three months spent in a fruitness campaign for re-election. The Vice Pres ident appointed Messrs. ITale , Allison and Teller as conferees on the urgency defi ciency bill. District of Columbia legisla tion occupied the attention of the House. Mr. Hepburn of Iowa , replying to a speech of Mr. Simms of Tennessee advo cating self-government for the people of the district , upheld the present form , but criticised its administration. The urgency deficiency bill was sent to conference , Messrs. Littauer , Tawney and Livingston being named conferees. The House pass ed the Senate bill imposing a charge for tuition on non-resident pupils in the Dis trict of Columbia , and also the bill regu lating the employment of juvenile work- ers. The Senate Tuesday listened to a speech by Mr. Bailey on the railway rate bill , in which he advocated his amendment for the non-suspension of the orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission pending a review by the Supreme Court. The chamber was crowded while he was speaking , and he was given a remarkable demonstration when he sat down. A sig nificant Remark by Mr. Hale indicated the possibility of an understanding and an early vote on the measure. For seven hours the House had under consideration the postofiice appropriation bill , but only iii a few instances were tie provisions dis cussed. During the debate on the special appropriation for railway mail pay bitter words were exchanged between represent atives from North Carolina , Arkansas and Kentucky , but all were within the rules of the House. A humorous speech was made by J. Adam Bede ( Minn. ) , and Charles A. Towne ( N. Y. ) spoke in be half of the Jamestown exposition. * m In the Senate Wednesday the session was almost entirely devoted to considera tion of the conference report on the In dian bill. There was a sharp controversy between Mr. Tillman on one side and Messrs. Teller and Clapp on the other over an amendment inserted by the Senate , which provides for the ratification of the disbursements of $180.000 of the loyal Seminole fund by Special Agent J. E. Jenkins and Administrator A..J. Brown. The South Carolina Senator contended that the Indians had been defrauded. Xo conclusion was reached when Adjourn ment was taken. After nearly ten days of general debate , with the postofiice ap propriation hill as the vehicle for the dis cussion of a wide range of topics , the House reached the consideration of the measure itself late in the day , an hour being given to reading it. Not in years has there been so much talk on any one appropriation bill under the fiction of "general debate" as in this instance. There were a number of lively exchanges between the members during the day. r After a brief speech by Mr. Latimer in support of the House railroad rate hill Mr. Foraker took the floor in the Senate Thursday and consumed nearly all of the remainder of the session in an address on the same measure. Mr. Lodge spoke in support of the practice of granting lower railroad rates on goods intended for ex port than on those used in domestic con sumption. Conference reports on the ur gent deficiency appropriation bill and the measure providing for the settlement of the affairs of the five civilized tribes of Indians were accepted. The House sub stitute for the Senate bjj | ratifying an agreement with the lower Briile"Irida53 of South Dakota was passed , as was a concurrent resolution , including Senators and Representatives in the bill prohibit ing officials of the government from pre maturely giving out private information of the government. The feature of the proceedings in the House was the speech of Mr. Cockran , who was given an hour to elucidate the subject of "general de bate" on appropriation bills. Progress was made on the postofiice appropriation measure , eighteen of the twenty-nine pages beipg completed. The few amend ments adopted did not change the amount jf the appropriations to any considerable ; xtent. 'Notes of the National Capital.
