Indications Are That Russia WIN
Make Substantial Concessions
on Contraband.

London, Sept. THE preliminary
representations made by Count Benken-
dorff, the Russian ambassador to the
foreign office, indicate that Russia Is on
the point Of making substantial concss-
sions to the United States and Great
Britain regarding the question Of con-
traband Of war, as result of the SUBJ
mission by Foreign Minister Lamsdorfl
of the report of the general commission
to Emperor Nicholas Tuesday, together
with information transmitted by Am
bassador Benkendorff showing the
views Of the British government The
Russian foreign minister is expected to
present to the British government,
through Sir Charles Hardinge, the Brit
ish ambassador to Russia, Wednesday
the formal reply of the Russian gov
eminent. 1t is understood in ofacial
circles here that Russia, while not ae-
knowledging herself at fault for the
captures made by her ships in the past
will more specifically describe the con-
ditions under which certain goods such
as foodstuffs and cotton become in her
view contraband.
The British foreign office is salts
fed from the representations made to
1t that such substantial concessions will
be made by Russia as will lead to an
easy settlement of the vexatious cues

TOOCOOL FOR BEST RESULTS
WARMER WEATHER NEEDED
FOR MATURING CROPS.
Heavy Rains Reported in Some Sec

from Drought.

Washington, Sept. THE weather
bureaus weekly summary Of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
In the northern districts from the
upper Missouri valley to the lower lake
region the temperature during the week
ending September S was too low for best
results, but favorable temperature pre-
vailed in other districts. Heavy rains
proved detrimental in the Dakotas, Min
nesota and Iowa, and in portions of the
Carolinas, Florida and Alabama, while
the northern portion of the central
gulf states, Tennessee, the Ohio valley
and much of the middle Atlantic states
and New England need moisture.
AS whole the corn crop has adj
vanced satisfactorily, especially over
the southwestern portion of the corn
belt, where early corn is fully matured
and considerable has been cut In the
north central portion of the corn belt
the crop is late and will require favor
able weather during the remainder Of
September to mature.
Rains have interfered with spring

The weather has been very favorable
for cutting and housing tobacco, good

ported from Kentucky, where cutting

THE VERMONT ELECTION.
The Republicans Garry the State by
Increased Majorities. Over
3O,OOOis Claimed.

Burlington, VT, Sept Vermont
gives republican majority Of over
100000 Only once in quarter Of q
century has a republican president
been elected when the republican ma
jority in Vermont at the state election
OF the preceding September was less
than 25, 900. That one occasion was
in 1879, when Rutherford B. Hayes
finally received q majority Of the cleo
toral college.
Tho comparison between the repub-
lican majority in Vermont and the re-
suits Of the national election is inter-
esting. In 1872 the majority was 3O,-
554. President Grant was reelected.
In 1875 the majority was 24,07s. Mr..
Hayes was elected. In 1880 the ma
jority was 27,251. Mr.. Garfield was
elected. In 1884 the majority was 3d.
1873. Mr.. Cleveland was elected In
1888 the majority leaped to 2s, 4o4. Mr..
Harrison was elected. In 1892 the ma
jority fell below the test, being only
21,6s9, the lowest ever given, and
every one remembers the landslide by
which Mr.. Cleveland was chosen. In
1895 the majority reached 40, 400. the
biggest ever given in Vermont, and
Mr.. Mckinley was elected by an over
whelming majority. In 1900 the ma
