AN IMPORTANT ORDER.
General Campos Will Treat Reyolutionists
as Soldiers.

h9 SOlu1er1s
NEW York, Nov. CA local paper
will say Tomorrow: An official com
munication from Arsenic MARTINEZ de
Campos, captain general of tho troops
in Cuba, was received at the Cuban
headquarters here yesterday.
1t WAS copy Of an official order sent
out to all generals of districts and
brigades. 1t was apparently sent az a
guarantee of good faith on the part of
the Spanish commander and evidently
IS an intimation that it would be posi-
bic to open relations on 6 regular war
footing.
This would mean that the Cubans
would not be treated as bandits, but as
foemen OF merit. 1t is this that the
Cubans have been striving for. The
opening up of such negotiations would
indicate that exchange of prisoners
would follow. certain agreements
affected and the prisoners on both sides
be treated as soldiers.
The contents of the circular official
order indicate desire on the part Of
General Csmpos to fight fair. Members
OF the junta are jubilsnt over the order.
1t not only shows to them chance for
a real war footing with Spain, but also
desire on the pErt of General Campos
to make concessions.

Ever Before Known.

Ing crop FOR This Year Is the Largea t
Ever Before known.
CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-Advance sheets
issued by the Orange Judd Farmer
show that the potato crop OF the
United States for this year will be the
largest ever known. The acreage WAS
suddenly increased out OF all proper
ton to demands for consumption in
response to ill-advised suggestions from
high official sources, coupled with a
natural desire to replace. wheat in the
Northwest with some paying crop
The Farmer places the crop at ESQ,
las, 600 bushels. The variation in weld
in different States is more marked than
usual.
In fact in many districts in the North

suit OF their years work and will not

not pay for the digging

bountiful crop, the 1895 yield closely
approximating $1,000. 600 bushels. The

the average yield per acre compared
with 1894, when the crop had much

Mr.. Grout this afternoon was asked IL
he conceded the election of Mr.. Wurz-

WHAT THE RETURNS SHOW.

Fuller returns from all parts OF the
Fourth senatorial district show that NJ.
81. Clayton. the coalition candidate for
the State senate, has been elected by
majority OF los. In Montgomery
county tho majority for j. Allen Watts,
the Democratic nominee for the senate,
was 113; in Craig county it was 147,
and in Roanoke city it was s votes,
masking total Democratic majority in
the counties and city above named OF
26s. Mr.. Claytor's majority in Roanoke
county WAS 373, which gives him the
election by los votes, as already stated
above.
For the house of delegates the con-
test has been much closer; but from the
figures at hand 1t appears that Captain
Berkeley, the Democratic nominee, has
majority of &c votes, and that Major
Mccartney. the other nominee of the
Democrats, has been defeated by ma
jority of las. Whether Jones or Hans
nah has this majority over Mccartney
has not yet been definitely determined;
but it Is generally believed that Mr..
Jones Is the lucky man.
The majority given Mr.. Watts in
Montgomery was surprise, even to the
Democrats, as was also their vote in this
city, and in Roanoke and Craig coun.

AS to the results in other States the
returns of yesterday have made no ma
teriel alterations froms the outline
given in Wednesdays TIMES. New York
State has gone Republican, with the
Tammsny Democrats in control of New

ALREADY walls are going up from

those charges are true or not, 1t is GER

THE overwhelming Republican MAJOR
ity In Ohio disposes very effeotually Of
Ex-Governor Campbells chances for the
Democratic Presidential nomination
next year. Had the State given even
small Democratic majority on Tuesday,
Governor Campbell would have doomed
up as strong Presidential possibility.
The fact that he is a Western man and
stout advocate OF the Monroe doctrine
would have added not only to his chances
for the nomination but also OF election.
Nothing, however, succeed like success,
and. as the returns from Ohio show that
the eX governor hes not succeeded in
throwing his State into the Democratic
line, 1t follows as matter of course,
that so far az the Presidency is con-
cerned. for the present, he is not to be
considered in that connection.

WITH New York strongly Republican,
according to late returns, 1t would not
appear that Senator Hills chances for
the Democratic Presidential nomina-
ton next year has been materially
strengthened. The West has shown so
much Republican strength that it would
hardly be prudent for the party of JET
ferson to select Presidential candidate
from that section; therefore it would
appear good policy for Democracy to
look South for q leader next year, as the
Senator from New York has already
suggested. Who that leader will be is
not apparent just now, but 1t might be
we'll for the President-makers to keep
an eye in this direction with view of
making the most OF the chances at any
rate.
