Special to the Evening Review.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 14.
President KooseveK today sent a spe
clnl message to Congress bearing on
the riot of negro soldiers at Browns
ville, Texas, several months ago,
which resulted in the dismissal from
the army of every member of two
companies of negro troops. The mes
sage waB accompauied by a large
mass of evidence taken by the board
which inquired into the riot and
which was unable to learn the names
of the negroes participating, because
their comrades either, professed ig
norance of the affair or refused to
give any Information that would lead
to their identification. The president
suggests to congress that those sold
lers who will truthfully tell what
happened at the riot, who will aid In
fixing the responsibility and who can
show that they were not Implicated,
.be reinstated. The president's ac
tion in dismissing the troops will be
vigorously assailed by Senator For
aker, who contends that the presi
dent exceeded his constitutional au
thority. Fulton Gets Rebuff.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 13.
If Congress criticises the Secret Ser
vice part of his message, President
Roosevelt will probnhly retallnte by
publishing data gnthored by hiin
through the Secret Service concern
ing men recommended to him for ap
pointment by Congressmen. He will
publish only Burn bits as will Indi
cate that he needB Secret Service men
to save him from the humiliation of
appointing totally unfit men. Facts
concerning the morals of these men,
or rather lack of them, will thereby
be made a part of tho public record.
According to gossip, there will be
material In the reports warranting
the institution of suits for divorce

Congress maintains that the presi

without opposition of any serloUB

of the bill. The fate of the measure
in (lie House is problematical, as
Speaker Cannon Is opposed to It, but

to overcome the opposition of the

from that party the strongest Issue It
had In the so-called doubtful nnd
close slates In the middle west. In
those states William J. Bryan made
his campaign chiefly on the bank

WASHINGTON. D. C. Dec. 1 3
After 12 yeurs of service as head of
1110 Department, the Scoretnrv of Air
rhultiiro in his nnnunl report Isaued
louay presents a review of the pro
Kress of agriculture) In the United
States during this period. Concern
ing the farm production of 1008, he
says mat me rainier has created
wealth by tho billions. Production
nns oecn above the average of re
cent years with few oxremlons: nnd
while some prices have fallen, others
navo risen.
The riirm value of all farm pro
ducts of 1908 renches the most ex
traordinary total In the nation's his
tory $7,778,000,000. Tills is nhont
four times the value of the products
of the mines, Including mineral, oils
and precious metals. The farmer
contributes 87 per cent of the raw
materials used ill thoso mnmirncliir-
Ing industries which depend mostly
or considerably upon agricultural
materials, and these Industries use
42 per cent of all materials used In
all Industries.
The gnln In value of fnrm products
In 1908 over 1907 Is $290,000,000
and would have been much larger
had not the prlceB of cottou and hay
been low.
During the Inst 10 years the wealth
production on the fiirnis or this coun
try has exceeded the fabulous sum of
$00,000,000,000.
Tho corn crop this yenr Is 2,04 3,
000,000 bushels, valued ait $1,015,
000,000. Compnred with the aver
age of the preceding flvo years the
tho quantity Is 2 per cent higher and
tho vnluo 43 per cent higher.
Tho cotton crop Is likulv to be one
of the three highest ever produced,
with a vnhie next to tho highest, or
Iierhaps more.
The greatest hay crop in history
has been gathered this year, 68,000,
000 tons, or 12 per cent above the av
erage of the preceding live years. Its
farm value Is $021,000,000, or 0 per
cant above the iivo-yenr average.
Wheat l 1 per cent nhovo the
live-year average In production nnd
23 per cent above In total value. The
000,000,000 bushels are estimated to
no worm about $020,000,000 to the
runners, or $08,000,000 more than
the most valuable wheat crop hereto
rore produced.
The oat crop Is worth $321,0000,
000 for 789,000.000 bushels, or. 10
per cent above the live-year average
value and 9 per cent below the aver
age product.
The barley crop, 1 07.000,000 bush
els. Is 13 per cent above the live-year
average and Its value, $80,000,000,
Is 23 per cent above. Both have been
exceeded only once.
Rye In value Is $22,000,000, 17
per cent above the average.
All cereals aggregate 4,329,000,
000 bushels, a total that has been ex
ceeded three times, but the value
reaches $2,094,000,000, or more than
$300,000,000 above that or 1907.
and exceeds still more the totals of
former years. Compared with the
preceding five years, the number of
bushels Is higher by 0.2 per cent and
the value Is higher by 32 per cent.
Nearly 500.000 short tons of beet
sugar will probably be made from
yield or Bugar beets this year and the
factory value Is about $15,0110.000.
About 407,000 short tons of raw cane
sugar were produced.
i'nfavorable weather made the po
tato crop only 275,000,000 bushels,
or 5 per cent below the fife-year av
erage, although the value. $190,000.
000, is 18 per cent above and was
never equaled.
On mount of the extremely low
price of hops in 1907, the average
production and value of 1908 are h,w
and have been excelled In many f.ir
mer years.
For the Unit lime, this year the
va'oo of all farm crops equils $5,- I
ocio, noo. 000. Although tlii- fmer 1
gen hardly 20 cents a pound for his '
butler, bi tween 3 and 4 eenls a qunrt
lor his milk and about I eenls for
each egg, yet the value of the rarm '
closo to $800,000,000, and the value
of tho eggs and poultry Is as much ns
itho cotton crop. Boed included, or the
nay crop, or tho wheat crop.
lUie extraordinary prosperity of
the rnrmers following their low fin
ancial condition a dozen years ago
and earlier has enabled them to pay
higher wages for farm labor than be
fore. In the matter of wage increase
compared with prices, the fnrm labor
er has fared better than the working
men employed in manufacturing and
mechuuloal industries.
The old cotton plantation that nn
lender wanted ns a mortgage secur
ity la now sought for Investment, mid
Its owner can borrow without mort
gaging. The farmers of tho poor
inorlgage-rldden Knnsas of former
days have stuffed tho banks of that
state full of money, hnve organized
banks of their own and have Bent
money to the east to be Invested.
The total cost of our 2,151,000
miles of road Is over $1,720,000,000.
whllo the percentage of Improved
roads was only 7.14 to 1904 and is
probably not in excess of 8 por cent
at the present time.
The number of national forests Is
now 182, and the total area 108.000,
000 acres. At $2 per thousand feet
stuinpaso tho timber standing In
these rorests now contain oua-lirth or
the standing iiieiThnutable timber In
the country. The lira loss ror the
calendar year 1907 was less than
half that for tho prevlojis year, which
In turn was less than in any preced
ing yenr. The ratio of I.xss to value
or timber protected wbb only about 4
cents to $1000. The amount or tim
ber sold from the nntioiwil roresls
wns 880.000.000 feet, and the re
ceipts from timber sales were $850,
000. The grazing privileges yielded
Inst yenr an Income of nearly $!,
000.000. Lost year tree seeds were
sown broadcast In 27 forests In 8
stales to test it ha usefulness or tills
method. In the government's torest
tree nurseries nbout 700.000 young
trees were planted out. Over 2.000,
000 trees will be ready for plnnlliiig
In 1909.
