fine revenge?'-London Tit-Bits.

Vienna, Dec. lS.-General Buffers re.
verse is the subject of almost universal
comment in the Austrian press. Most of
the papers incline to the assumption that
General Buffers motives in hurrying en-
gagements are found in the situation at
Ladysmith, and they conclude that capit-
ulation OF that place shortly may be ex-
pected.
The Wiener Abendblatt thinks that the
consequences Of the last two reverses may,
in 50 far as human judgment can foretell,
be the fall OF Ladysmith and Kimberley,
and the outbreak of an Afrikander rebel
lion, and that unless something wonderful
happens in the meantime an improvement
can only be secured by achievements
which are not expected until January.

New York, Dec. ia dispatch from
London says;
There is no alienation of the gloom and
panic caused by Gen. Buffers reverse.
The British forces in India cannot be
any further depleted by drafts for South
Africa, while the threatened trouble with
Menelik, the negus of Abyssinia, and the
possibility of complications along the
Mediterranean renders the reduction OF
the garrisons in Egypt too risky, although
Gen. Kitchener is going to Lord Roberts
as chief of staff.
Fear is expressed that the German navy
may be used in conjunction with those Of
Russia and France to exert pressure To
prevent reinforcements reaching South Al
RIGA. 1t is possible that in view of such
contingency immediate orders will be
issued for the mobilization of the fleet re-
serves.
The British public is awaiting with the
keenest apprehension the first indication
of active hostility from continental enc
mics.
A reconstruction of the cabinet is Gag
erly discussed in political circles Many
deem it imperative that it's old and useless
members, like Goschen, Chaplin and Cross,
shall be sacrificed. Lord Salisbury, OPP
pressed with public and private cares and
shaken in health, is declared to be anxious
to retire, but it is represented to him
that his disappearance would inevitably
cause total collapse of the administra-
ton.

THIS YEARS WHEAT CROP.

The statistician of the department of
agriculture reports the crop for 1899
for wheat at SAT, 200, 900 bushels, or 1913
per acre. The production of winter
wheat is placed at 291. 100000 bushels
and that of spring wheat at 255, $4,000
bushels. Every important wheat grow.
ing state has been visited by special
