PROUD OF BADEN-POWELL.

Victory of the Half Famished Garrison
Applauded in London.
LONDON, May 18.-The closing days
of the drama at Mafeking have been
marked by intensity of dramatic inter
est, as unexpected as it is out of proper
ton with the forces engaged. The
news that the half -famished garrison
was not only able to repei an attack but
to infict such heavy loss in killed and
prisoners makes Great Britain more
than ever proud Of Colonel Baden-Pow
ellis little band and. increases the ma
tional desire for their relief to fever
pitch. Lord Roberts and his large
army at Kroonstad and General Butler
thousands forging over the Biggarsberg
range are almost entirely forgotten
Every one is thinking or talking of
Mafeking, and the latest exploits OF its
defenders. Rumors continue rife that
the relief of the place has been accom-
plished, but all official confirmation OF
the reports is lacking. There is consid-
cradle speculation as to what Colonel
Baden Powell will do with his 80 pris-
oners and whether the victory has not
so depleted his force as to render him
open to humiliation in the event of an
other attack by superior Boer numbers.

CLIMATE AND CROP BULLETIN OF
THE WEATHER BUREAU.
For the Week Ending May IA, 1900.

Generally light and probably local
rains on the 9TH and b in southern
counties and parts of the Red ,ERiver
valley, and also i'll the SQfth aud
across the northern center of the
state on the 18th, gave temporary
reliefto small areas from the very
dry conditions prevailing during
May. Early in the week the weather
was cool, and on mornings of the 9th
and 10th light frosts occurred in
different parts of the state. In the
latter part of the week it was very
warm, the maximum temperatures
being above 100 on the 18th. 18th
and 18th, except in the eastern
parts Of the state. At Minneapolis,
the maximum temperature of go on
the 18th has been exceeded only
once during May since 1891. The
early sown grains are stooling, and
they are generally we'll though not
growing rapidly, but in a few places
It is said that spring wheat is looking
yellow for want of rain. and that
some fields of oats and barley are
brown, the effect of the severe frosts
of the End, 3rd and 4th; the oats are
said to be recovering. Later sown
grains need rain for even germina-
nation. Some of the early sown flax
was cut off by the frost, but most OF
the crop was not sufficiently grown to
be in danger The sowing of flax con-
tiuues, but the largest part of the
flax acreage is sown except in the
northern counties. Corn planting is
going on, and by the 10Th it is likely
that most Of it will be finished. The
planting Of the early potato crop is
we'll advanced. The drouth is delay
ing the growth of grass in the past
ures. Winter rye will soon be head
ing in the southeastern counies.
Winter wheat does not improve, but
it is being replaced by other crops.
The fruits do not seem to have been
injured by the frost, and they are
promising we'll.
