POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

The HiIi-CrOLer Feud--The har-
mony Of the Kansas City Convention is
threatened with disturbance, from the war
ring New York factions. Croker seems de-
termined 70 make HIMSELF complete and
undisputed master OF the situation in New
York. and to do so he first viii have 10
crush HILL Unquestionably Croker will
have an advantage in his contention for
the reafirmation Of the Chicago platform
is resolved to make a fight against the
financial plank OF 1896. and it is evident
from Mr. Bryan's latest authorized in
terview that his representatives will espe-
cially guard that plank. Croker is now
an advocate of 16 to l. OF at least he hear
tily favors the readOption of the Chicago
platform in unimpaired form. Along this
line. then. Croker Will make his fight
against Hill at Kansas City Whatever
may be the result Of the contest in the
New York delegation it is thought
that its effect on the minds Of the
delegates Will be iuimical 20 the
scheme to stampede the Convention
10 Hill for Vice President II Gro
ker convinees the Convention that he and
not Hill is the leader upon whom the re-
organized Democracy can implicitly rely
Ia Rev York the former Senator's prestige
and popularity will disappear, and here
after his influence will be confined wholly
10 New York. Still. Mr.. Hill is too shrewd
and resOurceful a politician to be thus cas-
lily destroyed by Croker. There Is scarce
iy any doubt Cf his ability TO make a
straightforward, manly fight on the plat
form and at the same time retain his hold
upon the party masses Il may be that
before the warning New York leaders reach
Kansas City the Western and Southern
leaders Will tacitly agree among them
selves TO permit the HiIl-Croker feud TO
attain no prominence at the Convention.
and thus shield Hiil from the injury which
would be inflicted upon him by a fight
along the lines so adrOitly marked out by
Croker. In that event the Hill Vice Presi-
Dental movement would suffer no loss Of
strength. even though Mr. Bryan's latest
interview seems 10 be directed against
Hill.

ROBERTS ADVANCING SLOWLY.
London, May 4.-Gen. Broad
woods cavalry brigade has come
to Isabelfontein, twenty eight
miles north of Thabanchu. Gen.
Ian Hamilton is bivouacking at
Jacobsruhl, fifteen miles north
of Thabanchu. Thus Lord Rob-
erts has $4,000 men operating
clear of the railway along a front
of forty miles. He is advancing
slowly with some success, but
nothing decisive. Yet at all the
points of concentration the Beers
appear in force sufficient strong
to compel the British to proceed
with caution. Their wide front
in rugged country makes turn
ing movements offhand difficult.
The Beers, Winston Churchill
says, have enormous herds OF
cattle and fiocks of sheep gath.
cred in the southeast. These are
being driven northward.

"Optimistic estimates pretend
