Sixty War Vessels Take Toulon After
a Furious Cannonading.
PARIS, July 13.-The French naval
maneuvers in the Gulf of Lyons ended
to-day in the whole fleet attacking Tou-
lon. Ministers Ribot and Barley, mill
tary attaches of the American, British
and German legations, and many Sena-
tors and Deputies witnessed the attack.
Torpedo vessels and shore batteries de-
Tended the roadstead against sixty war-
ships headed by steel barbette, which
was extremely formidable. After
furious cannonade, the ships advanced in
one long line and broke through the de-
fenses.
Among the futures of the maneuvers
was the use of balloons to tow steamers.
The official report of the French maneu-
vers in the Mediterranean concludes:
1.-The ironclads during the three days
maintained without accident a high rate
of speed. 1t is incontestable that an
ironclad squadron of inferior speed, if
attended by q number of light craft, can
be kept informed of the movements of y
faster squadron, and can thus be enabled
to counteract the enemy's designs.
Hence it is advisable to provide large,
swift cruisers

Special to the REcoRD-U UNION.

CLEVELAND (O.), July 13.-Delegates
to the Democratic State Convention are
arriving here, and the indications are
that tomorrow will witness one of the
largest gatherings ever assembled in the
Buckeye State.
Although the preliminary meetings of
committees will be held tomorrow, the
convention proper will not be held until
Wednesday.
Allan w. Thurman, son of the ''Old
Roman" is to be temporary Chairman.
1t is apparent to all, except the friends
of other candidates, that Governor Camp
bell will be renolninated on the first bal
lot, although the friends of Lawrence
Neal insist that their candidate has a
fighting chance.
The feeling against Campbell among
the Hamilton County delegates is so
strong that it is a very sanguinary man
indeed who would predict harmony in
the convention.
Governor CampbelI's friends are com
planning of the circulation of canard to
the effect that he contemplates declining
the nomination, after winning the fight,
and that the Campbell men will then
throw the nomination to McMahon of
Dayton. The story receives no general
cTeuence.
Up to to-day Neal was the principal
competitor, but within few hours the
Kline boomlet has assumed proportions
which make the press class him as ap-
parently the only Formidable opponent of
Campbell. The logic OF the situation has
caused all anti Campbell men to combine
under the battle cry of anything to beat
Campbell" and the question was. who
was the most available candidate? To
this question now there is little division
of sentiment. 1t is understood the anti
Campbellites will struggle hard to create
a break in the ranks Of the enemy, but
the Chairman of the State Central Com
mittee tonight believes Campbell will be
nominated on the first ballot.
The platform is the subject Of much dis
cussion. 1t has been decided that the
party will stand by its position of year
ago on all leading issues, commend
Campbell's administration, denounce
the Republican National Administra-
ton, denounce the Fifty-frst Congress
for extravaganza, denounce the Mckin-
ley tariff bill, and demand the reduction
Of the tariff taxes.
While the free coinage sentiment is
strong, there is lively opposition to it,
and many conservative Democrats are
urging that the financial question be not
made an issue at all.

ST. GEORGE BAY On. F.), July 13.-
The proclamation closing the British
lobster factories along the coast of New
foundland is practically an edict of starva-
ton TO hundreds of people, and unless
the people of Halifax and other parts of
Canada organize relief fund great desti-
tuition, if not actual starvation, must en-

Will the British Government compensate
the thousands ofpeople whom it prohibits
from making living? These sixty fac
tories are closed down by British war
ships at the demand of the French naval
officers without any regard to their inter
ference or otherwise with the French fac
tories or fisheries. The French assert
they were in open violation Of the modaS
