EUROPEAN CRoPS,-Late mail al
vices from Europe show = generally
satisfactory condition OF the continen-
tai crops. In France, with a few ex-
ceptions, which are not important, the
wheat fields give excellent promise.
In Hungary the crops make IN excel
lent appearance, and vegetation is
making vigorous progress, but some
apprehension is felt about the possible
ravages of certain bugs, this being the
quadrennial insect year. In Holland,
abundant crops are expected the con
dition of winter wheat is satisfactory
and spring sowing, through late, has
been completed under favorable cir.
cumstances. In Great Britain, in the
northern countries. the weather has
been cold and vet, Spring sowing

where he proposes TO publish campaign
paper, the title of which will be Tie Grl0t
Campaign. He also gives notice that unless
the democratic convention nominates green
back candidate on a greenback platform, he
will oppose the nominee. This means that
his paper will be run for the one sole purpose
of breaking down the democratic party, and

, Uuo DEMoCRATIC CONVENTION
The democrats of Ohio have declared
in favor of initiation. The venerable
William Allen becomes by this vote
the leading democrat in the State.
Thucman's chance ot being supported
at St Louis bv his own State has van
i>hed. The Ohio democracy will have
no harG-money csndideie. The in-
fuence of this vote on the result of
the Presidential election will depend
very much upon the policy pursued
by the st Louis convention. Ii the
hard-money delegates there are strong
enough to carry their points, and firm
enough 10 adhere steadily to their
course as defined by Governor Tilden,
all may yet be well. Ohio has never
been counted among the State neces
sary 10 "A democratic success. The
democrats, with TIlden or Bayard as
their candidate, will lose that State by
an immense majority /; but they can
afford 10 lore it, if they save certain
States where a hard-money platform
will be popular. Even Pennsylvania
may 90 with Ohio, and Indiana and
Illinois range with other States tine
tured win sOft-m0ney heresies, if The
Southern States, the Pacific States,
New York, New Jersey and Connect
cut maintain their present democratic
ascendeDcy. But if the hard-money
democrats surrender or make material
concessions at 81. Louis, the scene Of
the November contest vii! be chang,
ed. The great Western States with
Pennsylvania may be saved to lhe
democracy, but AT cost too great 10
contemplate with any assurance Of
ultimate success. While il is by no
means certain that the democrats,
with an initiation platform, can carry
either Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana or
Illinois, it is morally certain that they
would lose New York, Connecticut,
New jersey and the Pacific States.
This loss, with no chance of gaining
States admittedly republican, would
be fatal. If this view of the field IS
correct, the imitation plank in the OHIO
platform adds materially to Tilden's
prospects of nomination.

Last night at As the Sister Superior of Con-
vent made her usual visit through the whole con-
vent but saw nothing unusual, and all the COM
munity were in bed. AT twenty minutes past
nine the whole convent was in flames.
All that could be done for the persons inside
was to hurry them out of the ilding. The nuns

themselves without clothes.
Ii is beloved that the fire origin between the
floors but no one could suspect the cause. The
building is still smouldering.
There were As boarders in the convent. Thir-
teen persons are missing, and have persisted in
the flames. At one o'clock eight bodies had been
found and taken from the ruins all being burnt TO

Some of the parents of the children were on
| the spot crying, looking for their remains and
seeking to recognize them by the fragments of
| linen or cloth on their bodies.
The convent was stationed at St. Elizabeth, 9
miles from Joliet, and was founded in 1919, I'M
der the management Of the Sisters of Providence.
The community buildings formed two WINGS Sis

We have rations for twelve days, and half for
