A report on the harvest prospects iu Franco and Europe has been received at the state department from Commercial Agent Grifllu of Limoges , Franco. The National Millers' association of Franco , says the report , has just Issued an estimate of the probable wheat harvest for Ib'Jl. The necessary supply of wheat for the year's consumption In Franco is 1 3,000,000 hectolitres. The estimated yield Is SV'o.OOO hectolitres. This is 31 per cent loss than last year's yield. ItuSsiu , Tunis , Egypt , Uoumanla and some Danublan provinces will hive fair harvests ; In Hungary It will bo below the average this year. Estimates given by millers are optimistic. They deslro to create the Im pression that there is n bettor supply than really exists because they want to buy grain ns cheaply as possible In those countries that have abundance to export. In IS'JO ' , 17,037.737 acres wore sown witl. wheat and the average yield was li.7 ( hectolitres per acre. In con clusion the report says that not only Franco but all Europe is looking to the who it fields of the United States. Last year many hoped that south America would help supply tha deficit , especially the Argentine republic , but today no mention Is inndo of those countries ; nil hope is built on the United States' harvest. The fact Is that the broad of Europe must come from America. Discredited at Washington , WASHINGTON- , July 13.

Tno delegates to the Ohio domoornUu convention nro rapidly congregating from all sections of the state , and ns the decisive day draws ncaror Interest In the event deepens with every parsing hour. It is now conceded by all the neutral nnd un prejudiced that Governor James E. Campbell will bo ronomlnated for governor on the first ballot. His opponents' Lawrence T. Neal of Chlllicotho and Virgil P. Kline of Clove- land. Up to this tlmo Neal has been his prin cipal competitor , the only apparent following of Kline being the Cuynhogo county delega tion , which was instructed for the Cleveland lawyer largely ns it matter of county nnd city prido. But the leaven of politics works queer results and the Kline boom In a few brief hours has assumed n proportion Which makes that gentleman apparently the only formid able opponent of Governor Campbell. The logic of the situation lias compelled the nti-Campuoll men to combine under the 'banner of "Anything to boat Campbell , " nnd the question with them is no longer which of the governor's competitors has the moit votes , but which is the most nvnllablo candi date , the mo it likely to succeed ns a dark hone. To this query there is little division of sentiment. Klliio is absent on his way to Europe , too far away to give pledges nnd promises , and his pronounced low tariff con victions nnd eminent campaigning qualities mark him ns the most available candidate of the opposition since the fond engendered be tween the IMcal and Campbo'l ' lactlons gives thu former llttlo hope of increasing his strength in the convention. Mr. Kline bus managed his campaign with consurnato diplomacy. When his homo county instructed for him ho received the news jocularly and gave no evidences of being an earnest aspirant for gubernatorial honors. On the contrary ho was on terms of the firmest friendship with both Campbell and Neil , the leading competitors , and ono of the most ! > erious charges which the absence of the Cuyahoga candidate makes it Impos sible for him to answer is that he recently on boparato occasions pledged his support to both Campbell nnd Noal. Ho has left a letter , however , with Major W. W. Arm- btrong of Cleveland , which will bo reau in the convention Wednesday , declaring his willingness to servo his party if selected by the convention as the candidate for governor. It now looks as though the antl-Campbell- itos , when nominations are declared in order on Wednesday , will ask for an informal bal lot , but that the governor's friends will op pose this and demand business and a formal ballot. In this ovcnt Cambell will bo found before the roll is closed to have three-fifths of the votes of the convention. But the re sult will not bo announced without many changes. The Ncal men , It Is understood , will , , with the consent of. tneir loader , desert their candidate nnd go solidly to Kline In the hope of creating a stampcdo of lukewarm Cnmpbell delegates to the Cuyahoga county candidate and Insuring his nomination. If the logic of iho situation docs not lumpen to suggest Mr. Kllno as the most available can didate the strength of the opposition may bo thrown to either Goiiorul John A. McMahon of Dayton or Hon. Thomas L. Johnson , the Irto trade congressman of Cleveland. De spite all these clever political manoeuvres , however , the indications are that the Camp bell phalanx will remain practically un- hrokeii and that tbo governor will bo nomin ated on the first ballot. "In my opinion , " said Chairman Norton of the democratic state central committee to night , "Campbell will bo nominated on the lint ballot. Thq opposition will endeavor to combine ou Kllno or McMahon or some other dark horse and try to force a stampede , but they will bo unsuccessful. The people have hpokon and Campbell nhcady has the dele gates , and the result of this convention Is now a simple question of addition and not of enthusiasm. " There are candidates for various state of fices to bo nominated , out the chief Interest nnturallv centers in the governorship. If LieutonantGovornor M. V. Marquis of Logan coanty expresses himself as not desiring n ronomination tjie result may be the placing of the tariff reformer , practical farmer and ox-congressman , John Quincy Smith of Clin ton county , on the ticket for second honors. Mr. Marquis could , it is probable , have a rcnomlnatlon without opposition , but having had the honors there Is some doubt whether lie will seek the rcnominatlon. Financially iho place Is not to bo considered worthy of u contest nnd the honor therefore Is the only allurement for the ambitious gontlcmcm of the state. For attorney general John W. Canary of Wood county nnd State Senator Corcoran nro the principal candidates. The former has been considered ns n prominent candidate for several weeks , while the latter was only recently sprung for the placo. Today John P. Bailey of Putnam county arrived and tak ing up quarters at the Hollonden also an nounced himself as n candidate for attorney general , so that the contest for the office promises to bo a very lively ono. Ex-County Auditors T. B. Pocklnbaugh of Wayne , Dan iel Kunsnt of Detianco and Hon. W. M. Muiso of Franklin county nro mentioned for nomination for auditor of state , and others nro likely to come out within the next twen ty-four hours. ' G. S. Ackorman of Mansttold seems to bo the lavorito for the treasurorshlp since the declination of Hon. W. W. Armstrong of this city , but It \inllnoly that ho may find several gentlemen contesting for the plnco before the time nrrives for his nnmo to bo presented to the convention. Prof. C. C. Miller , the present commis sioner of common schools , Is ono of the men having n sure thing. Ills nomlnntlon by ac- clalmatlon is conceded b.r nil , Bosides.thoso mentioned above , candidates are to bo nominated for supreme judge , mem ber of the board of public wonts , and food and dairy commissioner. The platform upon which the coming battle will bo waged is the subject of much discus sion , and Chairman Norton of the state cen tral committee nnd other prominent politicians of the state have held several conferences ou the subject. It has been decided that the party will stand by its position of a year ago on nil loading issues. The Campbell admin istration will bo commended and the Harri son national administration and the Fifty- first congress danounccd for profligacy and extravagance.

The ministers had before them n number of affidavits filed with the probate jndgo which show liquors have boon "signed for" under the Kansas law. It was discovered that a half-dozen men had procured either beer or whisky every day in the year. Ono witness had strangely enough alter nated the complaint for wnlch ho doslrod whisky and beer. Ono day It would bo for fever and the day lollowing for n bad cold. Resolutions were adopted calling upon Judge Elliott for his resignation. The com plaint against Elliott was that when ono of the ministers appnviebed him to remonstrate ngamst Issuing license to so many drug stores ho was told that the ministers had bettor attend to their own business. The resolution declared that several blocks in the city were devoted to drug stores which were nothing short of saloons. .

The watch trust was thn jobbers' association of manufacturers of American watches and comprised every large watch case manufac turing concern In the country. The dissolu tion was caused by the withdrawal of the Elgin company , which , being an Illinois cor poration , was amenable to the new law. This was followed by the withdrawal of others until the trust crumbled out of ox- Utcnco , The dissolution was also hastened by the withdrawal and suit of the Joseph Fahy watch company recently , which suit exposed the Inside workings of the trust.
