HEAVY DAMAGE TO EUROPEAN
CROPS.

DAMAS1E ~ EUfSOFEIAN
CROPS.
Advices received in London from
the country districts of England to
the 22d of July represent that not
outstanding the favorable prospects
for sowing and the encouragement
given by the early growth, the late
incessant rains have caused almost ir-
reparable damage to the crops
throughout the Kingdom. The en-
tire advance in wheat has been 8
shillings per quarter since the recent
excitement respecting the crop move
ment from America and elsewhere set
in. In respect to any further advance,
much will depend upon the steadiness
and sound judgment of the operators.
1t is regarded, however, as improba-
bic that even fine weather will oper-
ate to produce any considerable de-
cline.
Advices from Hungary report con-
siderable damage in the fields without
advance in price there until the Lon
don market becomes improved.
In South Russia there has been
more damage from drought than from
wet, which will, however, limit the
Odessa shipments.
In France, besides the floods, the
harvest is later than last year and
not so good.
There is a sharp demand for, and a
large trade in, all classes of Ameri-
can wheat, -four, maize, and barley,
at higher figures, with large orders
already waiting communication, only
small proportion having yet gone
forward, principally now on French
account. Large orders will go out
if, upon inquiry from France, bust
ness is animated, but the weather being
better, operators are, in many cases,
DESTROYS to secure profits.
LONDON, July 26.-The Daily
Neecs says partial relapse in the
corn markets yesterday, following a
complete change Of weather, indicates
a revival Of hopes respecting the har-
vest which the persistent rain Of the
previous three weeks seemed wholly
to forbid. The Mark Lane Express
this week says: "The average rise
in wheat since last week has been full
ly four shillings here and in France.
Here much grain has been Frustrated
by heavy wind and rain. Should the
weather continue fine the crops may
not suffer much in yield, whatever
may be the result as to quality. A
return to former low rates seems to be
impossible with the stock so near ex-
haustion, but millers are not likely to
purchase freely at high rates while
there is possibility of improved
prospects,"
St. Petersburg official crop reports
represent wheat good average.

AT Rochester Friday a saloon
keeper named Preuss, was fined $25

brewery at Rochester, was fined $25
and costs for selling beer to an intern
perate person. They watch these ill.,
fractions of the statutes pretty closely
down there.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press of to-
day goes far out of its way to make
the result of yesterdays Convention
the subject for mean, low attack
upon Senator Mcmillan, and to claim
that result as an endorsement of Gov.
Ramsey and a rebuke of Gov. Davis
and his friends. It is we'll known
that it had been generally agreed to
drop last winters fight and unite
the party for victory. 1t is also
well-known fact that the papers most
friendly to Governor Davis and Sena-
tor McMillan-among them THE
JouRNAL-were the first to urge the
nomination of Mr.. Pillsbury. But
about the surest way to secure the
defeat of this ticket will be for some
! respectable and representative Re-
publican paper-which the Pioneer
Press is not it is still, what it always
was, the subservient "Hireling" Of
Alexander Ramsey-to insist that
yesterdays Convention was a lash in
the hands of Ramsey to scourge such
Republicans as had the independence
last winter to break up one Of the
! most corrupt Rings that ever disgrac.
ed any State and to reduce its head
and chief from the position Of United
States Senator to that private
citizen. And as for ':rebuking'
Governor Davis, had that gentleman
] not positively declined, number of
weeksaso. to ALLOW his name to 60 before
] the Convention, he would here been
renominated in spite Of anything the
I P;oneer,R Pres and jts friends could
have done.

The article in last weeks PnGNIX and
the letter Of John Cleves Symmes respect
ing the "IIole'', recalls the life of an hon
est aud once distinguished man, who laid
the foundation Of an Immense fortune,
which he failed TO secure, and finally died
poor. The little known of Captain Sym
mes, now, is derived from few sketches
here and there, rather than from the name
he CAV { 10 his Wild speculations as to the
structure of the earth. In l7sS the first
territorial government Of the Northwest
ern Territory was formed, and among the
judges appointed, is to be found the name
Of John Clcves Sylnmes, who with others,
in that year, contracted with Congress for
million Of acres, adjoining the Ohio river
and between the Great and Little Miami
now one Of the richest portions of Ohio,
including Cincinnati. But falling to make
payments, the greater part of this rich tract,
now worth hundreds Of millions, reverted
to Congress. Symmes sold the site of Gin
cinnati, soon after the contract with Con-
gress, TO Mr.. Denman, Of New Jersey,
doubtless for an insignificant sum, even in
those days. In 1902, Symmes entered the
army as Ensign, fought with great gallan-
try in the war of 1872 at Lundy's Lane and
the sorlie at Fort Erie. He wrote and lee
tured upon the "Hole', and in 1928 petit
TONED Congress for means to tit out an ex-
petition. lie made few converts, and his
suggestions were generally treated with
open ridicule or silent contempt, he being
considered little better than lunatic. He
died at Hamilton, Ohio, May 2s, 1929, in
great pecuniary embarrassment but much
respected for his integrity.
