oRAssHoPPERs DESTROYING CROPS

Swarms In Western New York Ravagins
the Potato, Dat and Corn Fields.
Grasshoppers are proving a great pest
and source of annoyance and loss to
farmers in western New York. Reports
continue to come from nearly all coun-
ties of damage being done the crops by
them. In the eastern part of Livingston
county they are very numerous. Last
year they visited that section about two
weeks later than this, but there were
not SO many as there are this year.
They are now doing great damage to
potatoes, carrots, corn and all growing
crops.
Genesee and Wyoming counties also
report considerable havoc from the
grasshoppers. In the southwestern part
of the state they are also SO numerous
as to beget apprehension. In Allegany
county they are doing great damage.
Since the hay has been cut they have
taken to the oats, buckwheat and other
grains, in many instances literally ruin
ing whole fields. Several farmers, in
order to get a better quality of straw,
are cutting their oats while yet green,
believing that if left to ripen the grass
hoppers will destroy them.
Potatoes, which are very extensively
raised in Aliegany county, are also suf.
fering from their ravages, and efforts
are being made to protect the crop. One
method which is being extensively used
is for a number of boys and men, with
fshpoles, to march abreast across the
fields, driving the pests before them.
The process is a tedious and expensive
one, since, in order to effect any perma-
nent good, it must be continued during
the whole day. Another drawback to it
Is that it leads to many petty quarrels
between neighbors. When one drives a
swarm of grasshoppers to an adjoining
farm, his neighbor Is pretty sure to
drive them back, and unpleasantness
usually follows. Rochester Democrat

A n .be wonaerful ara,na tbat ~ been

cd in the wonderful drama that has been
enacted since the opening Of the country
west of the big river. One of those like
~ to be present is ox-Governor Brad
ford l.. Prince of New Mexico. He has
always been one of the strongest and
most determined advocates of the ad-
mission of New Mexico as o state, and
he tells O rather good story of how, so
long ago az 1875, his desire barely
missed contamination at the time Colo
RADIO came In. Bills for the admission Of
the two territories were introduced to-
gether as sister propositions-one Dem
ocratio and one Republican-to suit the
temperament of the two branches of
congress, the house being Democratic
and the senate Republican. Both bills
went through the house and to the sem
ate calendar, but some formal amend
ment was thought desirable by the sem
ate committee ON territories. This
amendment was accordingly made to
both bills and then both passed by the
senate. The Colorado bill was returned
to the house for concurrence a little in
advance of the other and was promptly
put through.
Some pension measure came up next,
and while it was being discussed Rep
resentative Conger, from Michigan,
made a speech in which he displayed
some bitterness toward the south, to the
great otfense of some of the southern
men ON the other side. Stephen B.
ElkiHs was then delegate from New
Mexico. Although then, as now, a Re-
publican, his personal popularity enabled
him to represent a close Democratic con-
stituency, and it was his ambition to be
one of the senators of the new state. It
was Elkins' custom always to shake
hands with a speaker who had made q
hit Immediately after the conclusion of
his remarks, and, If possible, before the
applause had died away. He saw that
Conger had met with great favor in the
eyes of the Republicans, and, as usual,
rushed to his side. Then, his face beam
ing with good fellowship, Elkins shook
Conger's hand right heartily.
!, The Democrats had already been
made very angry by the words which
Conger had uttered, and when they saw
Elkins virtually place himself ON record
as indorsing them their anger speedily
extended to him. AS they had a major
ity of eighty odd votes in the house, they
were quite able to punish him for his
thoughtlessness, and they did 80 by
showing under the bin for the admis-
sion of New Mexico. That was Is years

The change ia the form of voting the
Australian ballot from two years ago
did not work any good results in this
election. The placing OF the circle at
the top in order to vote the whole ticket
readily only tends to confuse the voter
when he comes to scratch or vote a mix
ed ticket. 1t is noticeable in the returns
that while a fairly full and correct vote
was given On the head OF the ticket by
the voting in the circle at the top, the
loss of votes altogether on the county
candidates or lower part Ct the ticket
by attempted or intended scratching
was very material. Where there yer
only two candidates for an Office this
was not SO great as where there were
several for the same office, all going tc
show that the voter rs a rule became
mixed as to his ideas OF voting, or tina!
the judges did not interpret his mark
ings as the voter intended. Were one
set of judges, versed in the law, to can
vass the entire poll lists OF the county
no doubt very material changes would
be arriven at. The present or amended
law gives one line OF instruction to The
voter and another to the judges, where
both ought to be the same. 1t woulC
also simplify the method much to discard
the circle at the top and require th'

The change this year from the indirect
TO the direct form Of voting on the
amendments also caused some confusion
although the present is the simpler an6
better msthod. The method Of voting
the Australian ballot should be simpli'
fed by the next legislature.

~ be ON their way to Washington in
order to be present at the opening of the
next session of the national Legislature.
Many of these men would 60 to the cap
ital by way of st. Louis, v IL it were
not the location of so important a meet
ing. at that time. In the present cir
cumstances nearly every representative
hailin9 from states west of the Father
Of Waters has signified his intention of
attending the ''Transmississippi."
The first session of the Transmissis-
sippi congress was held in 1890 at Gal
weston, the second six months later at
Denver, the third at Omaha, the fourth
at New Orleans in February, 1892, the
fifth at Ogden in April, 1898, and TIE
| sixth in San Francisco last February. 1t
is the aim of those who direct its dis
c~ussions to consider every subject that
is of special interest from a commercial
and business point of view to the states
in the western half of the Mississippi
valley, in the Rockies and ON the Pa
cifc slope, but the following questions
are likely to receive most attention: The
remoneti cation of silver, the admission
Of territories to statehood, irrigation,
the improvement of western rivers and
harbors, mining laws, antioption legis-
lation, the Nicaragua canal, the dispo-
sition of Indian public lands, a national
bankrupt law and the railroads.
The delegates are appointed as fol-
lows: Each of the 80 states and terri
tories west of the Mississippi is entitled
to ten delegates, to be named by the
governor; each county TO one, appointed
by commissioners or judges, and each
city to one for every 10. 900 inhabitants,
providing not more than ten are sent
from any one city. Besides, such COM
mercial bodies as boards of trade, cham
beers of commerce, real estate and ether
exchanges, transportation companies
and railroads are entitled to representa-
tion. Not all of those appointed have
attended any one Of the conventions, ~
course, but the number has always been
sufficient to make the gatherings thor
oughly representative and really impos-
ing, both as to numbers and magnitude
and diversity of interests represented.
The president incumbent is Henry
r. Whitmore of st. Louis, one of the
best known and most influential men of
his city. His election at the California
session, held last winter, was considered
a great victory for st. Louis, especially
as that city was also named as the loca-
ton Of the coming meeting. Milton @.
Butterfield of Portland, Or, is secre-
tary, and George FL. Morgan, secretary
of the st. Louis Merchants Exchange,
is assistant secretary. The long list of
vice presidents represents all sections.
Including the delegations that will
attend from the 80 western states, the
450 cities, and the 100 congressman
west of the Mississippi, each of whom
has been specially invited, it is believed
that ! 200 men will assemble at the
opening of the congress. 1t is doubtful

Reasons why Her Marriage TO the CxarO

| Reasons why Her Marriage TO the CxarOs
witE Was Postponed.
Advices from st. Petersburg say that
the postponement of the marriage of the
czarowitz with Princess Alix Of Hesse.
which was to take place in October, has
created a sensation in Russia and been
the subject of unfavorable remarks in
imperial court circles. The wedding,
according to present plans, will be cele-
brated in January, but there seems to
be a feeling, despite denials, that the
marriage may not take place at all.
Many reasons for the postponement are
reported. The rumor that the emperor
of Germany and his relatives Of Darn
stadt have entered a protest since the
engagement against the acceptance by
the princess of the Orthodox Greek faith
is declared to be without foundation, as
that matter was discussed and fully ar
ranged before the official announcement
of the intended union was made. The
| statements, too, that the delay is the
result of the i'll health of the future en-
peror are declared to be untrue, as also
those relating to the physical condition
of the princess.
But a we'll informed Russian declares
that it is the general belief in court cir
cles that the ~postponement is due to the
opposition and dislike shown by the
princess herself for the Orthodox faith
since she began to receive instruction in
her new creed. One thing is certain
the Russian court chaplain, Jaryscheff,
who was sent from St Petersburg tc
Darmstadt to conduct the conversion
of the young woman, had to be recalled
and his place taken by a priest less strict
and less jealous.
Although the second church emissarJ
accomplished his purpose in a way, he
did not do SO with ease or without quar-
rels with the princess, which produced
a bad impression ON the imperial Rus
sian family and caused great embarrass
ment to the priest.
The German emperor is said to b.
much chagrined at the conduct Of the
young princess, as he was the "matri
monial agent who brought about the
engagement of the couple. Down deep In
his heart, however, he may have a Ger
tain admiration for the action Of the
princess, as he detests in general con
versions to the Greek church. This i!
proved by his treatment of his sister,
the Duchess of Sparta and crown prin'
cess of Greece, to whom he has MOI
spoken since she renounced the faith Of
her family for that of her husband

ASSISTANT SECRETARY GEORGE H. MORGAN.
nearly 80 years he has been secretary of
the Merchants Exchange, has had much
to do in preparing for the meeting, is
not only very well known and very well
liked in his own city, but in all the great
markets of the United States and of En-
rope. In his official capacity during the
last three decades he has of necessity
corresponded with men holding similar
positions in every other great city of
the world. Mr.. Morgan is now 56 years
OF age. He is a native of Plattsburg, N.
Y, and went to st. Louis in 1850.
There he began life as bookkeeper and
cashier for one of the largest and best
known commission firms of the city.
Five years later, in 1865, he was chosen
secretary of the Merchants Exchange
and has continued to fill that Office sat
isfactorily to all concerned ever since.
During that time his duties have in
creased in proportion to the growth Of
the exchange, which in 1865 had o
membership Of between 600 and 700,
and now has considerably more than
8, 200. Since 1879 there has been no
opposition candidate, and therefore for
20 consecutive years he has received the
unanimous vote of all the members.
This is a record of which very few sim
liar executive officers of commercial ex-
changes anywhere can boast, and it is
creditable alike to the exchange and to
MIR. Morgan.
AS irrigation will, of course, be one of
the chief topics discussed, the Hon. FL
wood Meade, state engineer of Wyom-
ing and also president of the national
irrigation congress, whose most recent
session was lately held in Denver, will
certainly be present. MI. Meade, as a
supporter of measures looking to the

Of water, will be earnestly backed by
