GLAD NEWS FOR THE BULLS.
A Deficiency of 100000 Bushels OF
Wheat Predicted in Europe.

A Deficiency of 2O,OOO,OO0 Bushels OF
Wheat Predicted in Europe.
LONDON, April 6.-The Standard to-
day publishes long and careful review
of the agricultural outlook, in the
course of which it says that the steady
rise in wheat revives the hopes of the
English farmer, adding that wheat will
probablyreach the highest price in many
years, the principal cause Of the rise be.
ing the failure Of forei IN crops. The
wheat crops of France and Russia, ac-
cording to the Standard, are much be-
low the average and, the same paper
says, the deficiency will be at least 90
100000 quarters, adding:
1t is expected that cold winds and frosts
have almost destroyed the French crops
Germany, Holland and Belgium all furnish
peSSimist reports In ROumania there is q
decreased wheat area, and in India there
has been bad wheat season. The only
exception is Hungary, where there are bet
ter prospects, and it is almost certain that
the worlds wheat consumption will
exceed the production computed. What
ever the magnitude of Americas crop
may be, it Will not be sufficient to
cover the European deficit. thus compelling
an extensive draft upon the reserves for
the third year in.succesSion. The increased
home consumption, the decreased wheat
area owing to the spread of population and
recourse to scientific tillage, in order to re-
pair the waste of first settlers, thus in
creasing the cost of production, must in
eVltably remove the American farmers
formidable competition In European mark
cts and allow the English farmer to look
forward to prosperous future.

Mr.. Robertson was man OF rather

woman of fine appearance and or lady

even they could find no flaw IN

stories of Mr.. Robertson's life, which
none but those on intimate terms with

puzzled their brains for defense to the

Los ANGELES Cal, April 3.-Secretary
of War Proctor, who is here, said he
thought the present war furry would
result in waking up Congress to the

OF the heavily armored ships of late

made in mortar service. 1t is surpris-
ing with what accuracy mortars can be
fired to great height and shots dropped
straight down upon the object aimed at.
The last method of handling them is to
plant sixteen mortars in squares, and,
after gauging carefully the location of a
target, fire together all sixteen of the
mortars at the same instant, and it is re-

PARNELL'S MAN BEATEN.
The McCarthyites Roll Up Good Major
ity in Sligo.

LONDON, April 2.-Michael Davitt,
editor of The Labor World, has sent a
dispatch from Sligo to that paper saying
that the polling commenced punctually
at A. NJ, many workingmen voting at
that early hour. The constituency is
divided into five polling districts,
in which there are fifteen polling
booths. In some of the districts the
voters are compelled to travel seven
miles. The Parnellites admit that they
are beaten, and the Nationaists expect
a majority of about 900. The Tories,
adds Mr.. Davitt's dispatch, voted for
Dillon, the Parnellite candidate, i'll
spite Of the fact that the Conservative
Club advised them to abstain from
voting. There are about 700 Tory
voters in the constituency. Of
that number it is believed that Mr..
Dillon will have 500 votes. But for this
support Mr.. Colley would win by near
ly 1000 majority. The local Orange
lodge has supported the Parnellite can
didate No priest has been employed
as against the Home Rule candidate,
and the Nationalists are resolved not to
give their opponents grounds for alleg-
ing that clerical influence was exercised
at the polling booths.
Cork, April 2-The elections for poor
law guardians in Northwest Cork to-day
resulted in majorities for the Mccarthy
ite candidates Of two to one. This ward
was supposed to be a Parnellite strong
hold. The result of the election will
probably decide Mr.. Parnell not to risk
his seat in Parliament by resigning and
appealing to his constituents.
