JWi.1 of 1 rnda Plasma, 7U to 714 Chamber a! ,nin buuifhttf, foreland, oresuu.) indications are thst the wheat orop tf isas will be the greatest In the his lory of tho country. From figoree that nro bt'ing oollectwl and complied by some ol the big Chicago flrme, based on the reports of experts in every section ot the country, the oncoming wheat crop it) estimated to exceed 850,000,000 bnshels. All the conditions are report ed aa being of the moat favorable na ture, and while there is a decrease in acreage the total yield will be more than double that of 1897. In the fall of 1896 there waa an extraordinary in crease in acreage, bat the condition were inch that a large share of the crop waa plowed op the following spring, and at harvest time much of the remaining orop waa not worth oat ting. Kaneaa looms up aa the banner , state this year, an Increase of 28 per cent in the acreage having been report ed. intimates on the yield vary all the way from 70,000,000 bnshela to 100,000,000 bushels, while the com binod orops of Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma is estimated at 160,000,000 bushels. Of this 80,000,000 to 40,000, 000 bushels are credited to Oklahoma and Kansas will have 80,000,000 to 80,000,000 bnshels. As compared with the planting in Illinois In the fall of 1898, there baa been a decrease of 18 per cent in the acreage, bnt in spite ot this the condi tions in the Sucker State are about the same as in Missouri, and the apparent decrease in acreage is discounted by the amount of wheat that was plowed up In the spring of last year. The 1897 crop in Illinois amounted to a lit tle lees than 10,000,000 bushels, whereas it is generally conceded that this year's crop will be nearly, if not fully, treble, or between 85,000,000 and 80,000,000 bushels. Texas will have a 30,000,000 bushel crop. Never before has the wheat looked so fine in the lone Star state as ia does now. The harvest will be unusually early and agents writing to their bouses here report that a great part of the crop will be harvested and ready for shipment in June. TEIP OF THE OREGON.

Clark and bis crew were as much In ignorance of her ulti mate destination as the rest of the world. Captain Clark was told to make Collao his first stopping place. The big vessel, with Its tremendous load of guns and protecting turrets, ran Into heavy sea before It bad got out of Bight of California's promontories. The captain' orders did not provide for a return. The ship's prow had been headed for the coast of Peru and the eounse was never changed in spite of protracted bad weather. While many tons of etcel were pounding on the raclfic the men who direct the game of war and nse the warships as so many pieces at chess were debating what disposition should be made of the redoubtable " floating battery. To Fighting Bob" Evans waa left the dis position of the big ship, "Dewey, with the Olympia. can lick the entire Span ish Asiatic squadron," waa Evans' esti mate, and the destination of the Ore gon waa settled. Great anxiety was felt for the "pride of the navy" when April 1 came and she had not been sighted off the coast of rem, as expected, bnt on April 8 the bold line of the battleship were de scribed off Callao. She had fought a long battle with the elements, but had come out victorious without a mark. The Oregon coaled at Callao and there Captain Clark received a sealed packet containing his orders. When the ship had headed about and steered into the open sett. Captain Clark communicated the story of the Maine's report and Its reception by the American people to his men.

T13E BATTLESHIP OREGOX. CAPT. CXABK Of TH OBBOOSf. progress of the vessel southward after leaving Callao was attended by great danger owing to storms, and for that reason the Oregon coaled in the Straits of Magellan instead of attempting to enter the harbor of Valparaiso. When the Joint resolution of Congress de clared the Cuban people should be free and that Spanish sovereignty was at an end on the Western continent, Cap tain Clark was only twenty-four hours behind schedule time. The Oregon was the first warship in history to round that storm-swept point Oa the Lookout for Tronble. Captain Clark was warned by cable of the dangers that lay In his path and answered that he was ready to engage armor is divided as follows: the entire Spanish fleet if his superiors j inches; deck, 2 inches; barbettes, so desired. "A brief summary of the the American vessels arrived at Rio do Janeiro the Temarario arrived. Bra illlan officials, however, were active and said they would prevent any clash between the representatives of the two governments. News of the mngnlfl cent victory of Dewey's fleet reached the Americans In Itlo de Janeiro. With in the harbor of Brazil's capital the Or egon and Marietta were joined by the dynamite cruiser Buffalo, recently pur- cnased rrow that government Order came from the Navy Depart ment to proceed, and the fleet of three vessels steamed out of the harbor of Bio de Janeiro May 4. They were In structed to stop at every cable port en route and receive instructions. Oregon Built In the West, All the material for the construction and armament of the Oregon came from the far Western States. The Iron mines of California, Oregon, Washing ton, Nevada, Colorado, and New Mex ico supplied the crude metal which was afterward converted into steel for the hull, great strips of armor and ponder ous castings for the guns. The big bat tleship was built by the Union Iron Works, Son Francisco. On her trial trip an average of 10.70 knots was maintained and 11,111 horsepower was developed, 2411 hi excess of the con In size the Oregon Is only surpassed by one ship In the navy the Iowa. The displacement of tbe Pacific-born monster is 10,288 tons. The excess weight of the Iowa comes from her high decks, which are supposed to make her more seaworthy. When the Oregon was constructed she was In tended for coast service, her designers never thinking of a record-breaking cruise equal to more than half tbe dis tance around the earth's surface. Tbe Oregon is supplied with bunkers that give her a coal capacity of 1,504 tons. This enables ber to steam 4,500 miles without recoallng. The Oregon's com plement of men numbers 473.
