LONDON, Nov. G.-Thc general belief
in London is that the Beers are now
waiting for more guns from Pretoria
before attacking Ladysmith. The fact
that Sir Rcdvcrs Bullcr appears to have
ordered a retirement from Stormberg
and perhaps from other places relieves
to some extent the public mind, which
otherwise would have been further
alarmed. Confidence is felt in any
measure that General Butler may deem
desirable. The knowledge that the
pigeon post is working has also come as
"A relief to the great anxiety previously

C~onstantinople to The Tageblatt states
that it is expected the visit of the French
naval squadron will not take place.
1t had been secretly arranged that the
French admiral, Fournier, and the Rus

two ships, should arrive at the same
time to pay their respects to the sultan.
AS o as Sir Nicholas O'Connor
learned this he declared to the sultan
that if the visit took place he would be
forced to telegraph for an English

The sultan accordingly begged NJ.

Several Hundred People Were In Attend.
ance, but Learned Nothing Particularly
New-Repubiicans Speak IN the After
noon at Marauardt's Hall.
From Saturday's Daily;
w. j. Bryan appeared in Norfolk
this morning on schedule time and
spoke to a crowd of several hundred
people at the Creighton depot. He came
in from the west IN his special train,
having started from Chadron on this
trip which will be completed at Lincoln
this evening.
Arriving at the depot he was placed
ON Miller's dray, from which he nd.
dressed the people for about 20 minutes
He was accompanied by Mr.. Hulcomb
who also addressed IL few remarks to
the people.
Mr.. Bryan's remarks were of the
usual order, in which the administration
and the republican party were roundly
criticized.
He made some good points but none
that nave not beer repeatedly answered
or refuted.
His main object, however, was evil

disputed powers of oratory. 1t must be
admitted that he is very successful at
this and tells some good stories i'll an IN.
imitable way, but when brought
down to good, sound argument and con-
vincing facts he was rather weak.
He stated as a fact, for instance, that
wheat was as high or higher in price at
this time in 1896 han it is now. Whether
he did this to wilfully mislead the
people is not known, but the facts are
that while wheat is now bringing %
cents per bushel here in Norfolk. the
dealers were paying but 40 cents per
bushel two years ago. The small matter
of . cents is not much, but the difference
should not be ignored.
He devoted a considerable portion of
his time here to the trusts, Imperialism,
the Philippines and his other old stand
bys.
Mr.. Bryan appears to be much worn
and he has aged rapidly since his last
appearance in Norfolk.
Governor Poynter was also a member
of Mr.. Bryan's party.
After the speech the train was hauled
to Stanton on its way to Lincoln.
A band was organized of old musi-
clans, who met at the OXuard hotel
corner and marched to the depot where
they played a number of selections.
The band also played this afternoon
for the republicans and speaking was
held in Marquardt's where G. j. Green
of Omaha, District Atty Summers and
Sergt. Snider spoke to a good audience.
Senator Hayward was unable to be
present and Mr.. Summers took his
place.
1t is very evident that people have
very little time these days to devote to
political speeches, as neither the forenoon
nor afternoon speeches were attended
by the surging throngs which have in
times past turned out to political gather

The Agricultural Epitomist says:
There are H. 900, 900 cows in the coun-
try, II 900, 600 of which are being used
for butter production, 5000, 900 for the
production of milk for sale and 1,000,-
900 for the production of cheese. The
average production of the butter cows
is distressingly small, only 1876 pounds
year. Their aggregate production is
1875, 600, 900 pounds. The average an
nual yield of cheese per COW is $50
pounds and the aggregate yield is $50, :
600, 900 pounds. The 5000, 900 of cows
that are used for producing milk for
sale yield 1, 100 900, 900 gallons per year
or an average of $50 gallons. These fig
ures show a tremendous waste in dairy
management They show that there are
probably millions of cows that do not
pay for the food they consume and the
care given them and their products.
The COW should give from $50 to 900
gallons of milk year and should pro-
duce twice as much butter as the above
figures indicate. In word, $500, 900
cows ought to do-and would do if they
were the right kind Of cows and were
intelligently handled-what the H.
900, 900 are now doing
