VANTAGE, England, March 22.-(New
York World Cablegram.-Special Telegram
Richard Croker was away from Moat
House last week. Since his return he has
been trying to buy another estate called
Kirklands. but he cannot come 10 terms
with the owner. Another thirty acres is
needed to bring the domain within Mr..
Croker's ring fence. He has purchased a
row of old cottages for laborers' close TO
the Moat House gate. He intends to de-
molish them and provide the inmates with
up-to-d date cottages a little farther on.
He has petitioned the highway board for
permission to close the public right Of way
across the Croft, one of his recently ao-
quired properties and TO close the two
mile field path from Vantage to Let
combe. as he now owns the property or
either side and would like to transfer the
path into a private drive.
This demand, II granted. would drive the
public on the most direct route between
the two places, a route which has been used
from time immemorial. Some resentment
is felt, although there is no liability that
Mr.. Croker will obtain the concession.

LEAGUES NOTABLE VICTORY
One of the Big Landlords Comedies
Terms that Save Nine Hundred
Families from Eviction.

Copyright. 1902, by Press Publishing Coz
DUBLIN, March 22.-(New York World
CablesraLa--spscisl Telegram.)--1he United
States league has scored another notable
triumph Denis O'Connor, one OF the three
big landlords in the poorest part Of West
ireland, who had combined with others to
refuse to make any reduction in rent to
tenants and to fight the league, has bolted
from the commission and agreed to the
leagues terms. This saves 900 families
from eviction.
The league won through the sheer weight
Of popular support. No crime is reported,
although everywhere the government is
prosecuting the local leaders for speeches
at public meetings and has given them
severe sentences through their special
magistrates.
Home rule has again become England s
most menacing, active domestic question.
Never has the Irish vote in the English
borough, which is q decisive factor in
twenty-nine English, Scottish and Welsh
constituencies, been so thoroughly organ
lzed or enthusiastic in support OF the Irish
party.

WASHINGTON, march "a census re-

ducks, 4,sO7. .3ss.
The numbers Of nearly all these classes
OF poultry are smailer as reported in 1900
than in 1890, owing TO the fact that in 1890
they reported all fowls Of whatever age,
while in 1900 only those 3 months old and
over were reported.
The eggs produced IN 1899 were ,2e3. .s1e.-

BLAME THE UNITED STATES
Beers Figure They Could Bring Brit
ish TO Terms Were it Not for our
Supplying RemOunts.

Copyright. 1869. by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, March 22.-(New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) A dis
tinctly gloomy view Of affairs in South
Africa is again taken by military men. De-
larey's defeat Of Lord Methuen merely ac-
centuated the depression which had begun
to assert itself before that British disaster.
The ministers now avoid giving the san
gune prediction Of an early ending OF the
war with which hitherto they have beguiled
the people. Supplies for four months were
the utmost limit they admitted heretofore
would be necessary, but now they call for
supplies for nine months ahead.
Those British correspondents who pro-
phesied that the war would be over in a
few weeks now speak as II II would last two
years. The whole northwestern Transvaal
admittedly is dominated by Delarey, Kitch-
ener's available mounted force being unable
to cope with him and with Dewet at the
same time. There is a larger area OF the
two republics under the control OF the
Beers than Of the British, while Commander
Fouche has kept General French. Britain's
most successful general. at bay in Cape
Colony for four months. The blockhouse
lines have proved to be no serious impedi-
ment to General Dewet's movements.
The Beers now claim that In Cape Colony
and the two republics they have 10000 men
in the field and 10000 on furiough, with
further untapped recruiting resources
among the Cape Dutch. The British forces
number $50 900 men and 10000 armed ma
tives. the latter being used mainly for gar
risoning the blockhouses. The remouni
question is becoming extremely grave for
'.r'and. The available European supply is
-st exhausted, while the Argentins

lere Is that II the United States should

LONDON. March 22.-(New York World
Cablegram-Specisl Telegram.)-A python
nine feet long Is the pet OF Mrs. Arthur
Cadogan. the sister-in-law Of the viceroy
Of ireland. This species OF serpent is not
venomous, but like the boa constructor
with which II is sometimes confounded) il
kills its prey by coiling about 1t and squeez-
ing Il to death. Mrs. Cadogan's pet could
kill a large dog in this way and swallow
a small one.
There have always been individuals. es-
pecially members OF the fair sex, who have
exercised a curious fascination over snakes
perhaps one secret of their power being
their absolute fearlessness. Mrs. Cadogan's
python, though showing a great dislike &c
strangers. is devoted to its mistress. Many
widely known people in England make 6
point Of having peculiar pets, but in this
matter Mrs. Arthur Cadogan undoubtedly
holds a record.

granted a special audience yesterday to Mgr.
John Farley, titular bishop Of Zeugma, and
auxiliary to Archbishop Corrigan of New
York The pope inquired after the arch
bishop and expressed a hope to see the
venerable prelate soon in Rome.
Mgr. Farley then presented to the pontiff
the congratulations of American Catholics.
In thanking him Leo XIII hinted at dis
appointment in not having seen a special
envoy from the United States among the
brilliant assembly OF ambassadors and rep
resentatives who came to congratulate him
In the name OF the greatest potentates and
nations OF the world. The pope closed the
interview by cordially bestowing the apost-
Ollie blessing on all American Catholics, who
are. he said. THE greatest hope Of the

Mondays long and fatiguing ceremony in
St. Peters did not tire the venerable pontin
as was proved by the fact that the same
afternoon and on the following days he
granted a great number Of private audiences
displaying wonderful vitality and spirits.
One Of the longest and most cordial au-
diences was that in which the pope read
the congratulations OF Mgr. Murphy, rector
of the Irish college, who remarked in his
address. that the Irish all over the world
wished to express their flial devotion to
the visible head OF the church on the oc-
casion Of his pontifcal jubilee.
The pope was much moved, and replied,
Yes, our faithful Irish children are a
source of the greatest consolation to our
old age in the midst OF so many af1ictions
