Vienna, June 13.-General elections
for the Reichsrnth were held to day.
There are 616 seats for which, 1887
candidates contested. the extraordinary
number Of candidates being due to the
bewildering variety Of parties arising
out of race differences and by bitter
internal party dissenslons. Interest
centred in Vienna, where the Christion
Socialists or anti-semites, heretofore
the predominant party. are on the de-
fenslva, having become disintegrated.

dicating that reballots Will be char
acteristic of the whole election. Vio-
lent scufIles occurred In Vienna, many
policemen being injured Finally the
police dispersed the rioters with a
sabre charge. The raturns show that
the Christian Socialists have been ig-
unanimously beaten, nearly all their
candidates in Vienna losing. These

have to face reballots, In which they
probably will be dcfoated. by! n -coalj-

STOCK, CROP AND FARM NOTE S

Farmers through the Bluegrass
section are predicting a record-breal,-
ing crop of Kentucky bluegrass seed
this season. They say that the acre
age of bluegrass this year is larger
than for many years owing to the fact
that not SO much sod has been plowed
for tobacco. and it is reported that the
prospects now indicate large yield.
"A dispatch from Carlisle says
much tobacco is usually transplanted
in this section by May 20 each year,
but thus far this year not a plant has
been set. Nor is there apt to be any
transplanting done soon, for the rea-
sons that practically no ground is yet
ready and the plants are so small that
they can scarcely be seen, and it will
be some time before they are large
enough to transplant.
1.-The present drouth prevailing here
is becoming so serious that the plants
can do no good. and it is feared they
will perish unless rain comes soon or
the growers begin watering them.
The dry weather is also making the
ground so hard that the work of pre-
pairing for the crop is almost at a
standstill The present prospects point
to the smallest acreage of tobacco put
out in this county in years..
