comes from the ministry Of agriculture
which admits that the crops Of this year
were considerably below the average, Its
reports coming from more than seven thou

two poor crops lately and as the Russian
government has sometimes stated the crops
more favorably early In the season than the
latter return justified. 1t is reasonable to

Prominent Men in the background

There was no lack of s.umpers in the
campaign just closed. no lack of party adj
visers. no lack Of energy at either of the
national headquarters. Both parties were
Wen and abundantly served. But there were
prominent men on either side accustomed
TO a good deal Of notice In campaign years
who were either not heard Of at all or who
Tor the first time in their lives since achiey-
ing national reputation played subordinate
parts.
senator Teller may very well be put at
the head of the list. He is one of the ablest

heard with attention. How busy he NAV
have been In Colorado Is not known in the
east Certain 1t Is that he was not heard
Of In this part OF the country His name
has scarcely appeared in the newspapers
since the adjournment of the silver republi-
can national convention. The same is true
of ex-senator Dubois. who followed Mr.. Tel
Ter out of the republican party, and four
years ago was conspicuous in all of the
Bryanite councils. He may have been very
active this year in Idaho, but the national
field did not know him William c. Whit
ney took no part even at home. and the
name of w. F. Harrity was not once mon
tened. The man who nominated Mr. Cleye-
lano in 1892, and the man who managed
that campaign. were alike inactive and in
different this year.
On the other side, we heard very little
about Thomas c. Plat 1t was understood
that he was advising about the New York
state campaign. but he was never referred
to in connection with the national contest
There was no doubt about his LOYALTY to
the national ticket. but, for reasons of his
own, he kept himself very much in the
background. Thomas B. Reed effaced him
self completely for reasons well under
stood. Ex-senator Quay confined his efforts
to his state. and there to the securing of
a legislature favorable to his return to the
Serate. How well he succeeded today's
vote will determine
Whether these men will ever again play
the conspicuous parts they once played in
national politics is a question If Mr..
III y an Is defeated today by large majority
the effect will be disastrous to both Mr.
Teller and Mr.. Dubois who, having twice
put everything into the scale with silver
will Of course suffer severely from a second
defeat. But Mr.. Whitney and Mr.. Harrity
will gain. They will be prominent figures

basis of anti-Bryanism. AS for the three

The Vote of VOteless Washington.

yoteless Washington takes the same eX-
ceptionaI interest in todays balloting which
It felt in the election of 1896. The add
ton this year of other issues to those de-
clared at Chicago in 1895. and recently re-
affirmed at Kansas City. does not lessen IN
any respect the menace of the Chicago
declarations, thus emphaticaily repeated
The attack upon the civil service law and
the stability of tenure of office under the
merit system threatens paralysis OF local
prosperity When Washington is degraded
from its status a city OF permanent
homes into its old condition of the tempo
rary camping ground of political transients
the most vital factor In its recent marvel
GUS development will be destroyed. To-day's
results will affect not only our merchants
and all local lines of business, but also and
more directly the army Of departmental
employees and those dependent upon them
Washington would also suffer its share
of the business loss and depression which
would result from national endorsement OF
the Kansas City declaration in favor OF
the free and unlimited coinage of silver at
16 to l. and of the proposal to undermine
the authority of the Supreme Court and TO
limit the authority of the national govern
ment to repress violence aimed at Its
agencies
The spook of Imperialism. the intangible
creation of overheated imagina tons, has no
local terrors Free trade IN trust products
does not commend Itself as cure of trust
evils. The protectionist will view the rem

percentage of increase in population for the

from successful attacks upon the public

upon the Supreme Court. reinstating the

measured and shown forth in the shape of
local disaster. In the interest of the repub-
lie as a whole and of the capital, which
represents the nation In miniature, Wash
ingtonians are today, as in 1896, hopeful
and expectant that victory will rest upon
the banners Of sound money, patriotic de-
votion to the nag, trade expansion and
prosperity.

General PrenCh'S Cavalry Division Has

Heavy Fighting Has Been in Progress al
Mafeking, Where "All is WELL" and
The BOer Wagons Are Trekking
Away From The Long Be-
leaguered City.

London, March 13.-Lord Roberts wired
from Venters Vlei this morning that be
directed General French, If there were
time, to seize the railway station at Bloem-
fontein and thus secure the rolling stock.
At midnight he received report that
after considerable opposition he had been
able to occupy two hills close to the rail-
way station commanding Bloemfontein
and that a brother of President Steyn IS a
prisoner He is now starting with the
Third Cavalry Brigade and force Of
mounted infantry to reinforce the cavalry
division. The rest of the force will follow
as quickly as possible.
A cablegram received from Lord Rob-
erls later in the day announces that Gener-
al French has entered Bloemfontein. Pre-
vious to this dispatch Roberts said his loss
was 32l wounded and about 60 or 70killed
and missing. 1t is thought that these
figures refer to the total casualties Of Rob-
erts' force since he started for Bloemfon-
tein after Cronje's surrender.
There has been heavy fighting at Mafe-
king and the Boer wagons are trekking
away. All is well.
A dispatch to the Times from Mafeking,
dated Monday, March 5, says the garrison
at that place Was then feeling acutely the
stress Of the siege. They were reduced to
the use of horse. flesh and bread made
from horse forage, while the water Was
practically contaminated. Typhoid, dysen'
terry and diptheria were epidemic, but it
was impossible to isolate the victims. The
sufferings of the women and children were
terrible, and there were deaths in the
wnmen's laager daily. The native popula'
ton Was starving. The military operations
were progressing favorably. They had
been extended to the brick fields, whence
the enemy had been completely expelled.
