WETTEST YEAR KNOWN
TO LIVING ENGLANDERS
Farmers in Despair and Foreign Wheat
Finds Ready Market in Great
Britain.

Commenting upon the recent weather
conditions which have been so adverse
to agriculture In England, 'Beeroohm
Evening Corn Trade List" Of october
80 saws that the total rainfall in LONDON
since January / has been S4-2o inches'
(which It may be interesting TO note
exceeds the 34O2 inches which was re-
corded in 1852. the wettest year known
TO living men,
Nothing could be worse for farmers
than the weather of the last two
months. The remains % the last harvest
are stin TO be found in many fields IN
the east and north. and probably not 70
per cent OF the seed usually In the
ground by the end Of october has yet
been got in. Much OF course depends
lpon the weather in November and De
cember. but it seems highly probable
that there Will be a serious further re-
duction In the area under wheat this
season.
As the season prOgresses a. becomes
more and more evident trlst the supply
Of native wheat is falling short In guam
tity. while the condition is simply
wretched. We know Of many country
miners. in fact. who are using FIVE %
six times more foEeign wheat than is
usual with them. and IL is 70 be expected
that this viii continue TO be the case Ioi
some time TO come.

CROSSING POLICEMAN
IS BADLY CARED FOR

in its relation to these men, and they
are subject to the regulations Of the
Commissioners Just as we designate the
rate at which a street car may travel.
We are paying them with the money of
the railroads, however, and it would be
as improper for US to establish periods
of leave for them as for US to take sim
liar action with reference TO the con-
ductors or motormen. The railway peo-
pie would be quick to resent such ac-
ton. saying, and properly, too, that we
We're taking their money TO pay the
men who were on holiday OF sick leave.
If the railway insists that its employees
draw pay only for the time they ac-
tually work 1t is not our province to
gainsay them.
Personally, 1 shall join with other
citizens in providing for the needs of
the injured policeman. In the case of
Edwards Major Sylvester and the Com
missioners have decided TO restore him
70 the regular force on the occasion OF
me first vacancy in the $l5 class, as a
reward for his conspicuous bravery.
should Osburn prove eligible, similar
j provision may be made for him. But
officially none Of us can aid Osburn, or
any other crossing policeman who meets
injury in the pursuit of duty. 1t is my
belief that the only remedy for the con-
ditions lies in legislation requiring the
railways to provide for a certain amount
of leave and sick leave with pay.

ROYAL CHILDREN
OF GIFTED MOTHER
Crown Prince of Roumania and His
Little Sister Full of Mil
tary Ideas.

BUCHAREST. Nov I7.-Probably two
of the most interesting royal children
in Europe are Prince Carol of Roumania
and his sister, the Princess Elizabeth
The former was born October is. 1888,
and the latter October Il, 1S94.
The children of an exceptionally clever
mother-who is known the world over as
Carmen Sylva-they are more than or
dinarily intelligent, and are undergoing
a course Of educational training which
is more than usually comprehensive.
even in the case Of royal. children. who
usually are well educated.
The boy is quite devoted to militar''
ideas, and looks a very prince in his
little uniform. His sister has also mil
itary aspirations" and is already at
tached to one of the regiments of the
guards.
Their mother, Elizabeth. Queen of
Roumania. is. it need hardly be said, the
most intellectual queen in all Europe.
And not only that, but she is one of the
most gifted women in the world of let
ters. Pierre Lott is reported to have
said Of her that if she were not a queen
she might easily earn handsome in
come as a newspaper writer.

.REhOUNT SYSTEM GIVES
ALARM IN THE WEST
Members Of Congress Protest Against
War Department Raising Horses
for the Cavalry.

Western members of Congress are pro-
testing TO the War Department against
the establishment OF proposed remount
stations where animals 70 be used by
the army may be trained before they
are turned over 10 troops.
When the general staff announced
several weeks ago that il was consid-
ering remount systems it was suggested
that in time the Government might de-
velop its depots to such an extent that
the army could raise animals for its
own use Such a movement would make
the Government a competitor Of the
ranchers and farmers Of the West and
South. who now supply the army with
alarm in the West.
Secretary Root has granted Brig. Gen
". c. Carter permission to make visit
Of three weeks in Europe for the pur-
pose of studying the remount systems
in the armies there He viii leave
New York on December !. and will
make a report on remOunt systems TO
the general staff before sailing for the
Philippines late in December.
In some Of the European countries
government farms have been estab-
Iished where horses are raised FOR th'
cavalry. France has tried this plan
/ England has d less fully developed re-
mount system. and has depended on the
United States for most of its horses
and mules.
AS large appropriation would be
necessary to establish remount depots
In this country, il is not believed thai
the general staff viii be able 10 bring
about any change in the plan OF sup
plying the army with horses wher
members Of Congress are offerlng oppo-
siriOn.

Transit.

BERLIN. Nov. T7.-So successful have
been the trials of the electric trains on
the military line between Zossen and
Marienfelde that the Kaiser is deter
mined 10 make Germany the pioneer in
practical lightning travel.
His majesty proposes the construction
Of a line between Berlin and Hamburg
on which the normal speed of the trains
viii be 100 miles an hour. In further
ance Of the royal plans the Prussian
government is negotiating with the firm
Of Siemens < Halske. whose expert
mental train on Friday attained 130
miles an hour.
1t IS estimated that the construction

ways would cost double that Of the
present system If the Emperor's e,c-
pertinent be successful a network OF
high-speed railways Will be constructed
throughout Germany.
