Growing Rapidly-Wheat Harvest in
Ohio About Over and Housed.

CHICAGO, July s.-The reports as to
the condition of crops throughout the
country. and the general effect of the
weather on the cultivation, growth
and harvest of the same were Tuesday
made by the directors of the several
climate and crop sections. The reports
received at Chicago were as follows:
The week ending July 6, like that
Immediately preceding was, upon the
whole, exceptionally favorable, and the
reports indicate that crops generally
have made excellent progress, except
over the western portion of the gulf
states, where rain is much needed.
Heavy rains in Kentucky and Tennes-
see have caused some damage to the
shocked wheat. Some threshing has
been done in West Virginia, Ohio, In
diana and Illinois. Reports generally
indicate that corn has made fine prog
ress and the outlook for an exception
ally fine crop, in the principal corn
states, is most promising.
The condition of cotton has improved
and especially oyer the eastern portion
of the cotton belt and the complaints
of injury by lice continue to diminish.
Picking has commenced in southwest
Texas and will begin in the central
portion of the cotton belt about July
2o.
Indiana-Warm, fair weather and
only few local rains which have been
very favorable Corn and oats never
better, the latter ripening. Tobacco is
good, but worms are doing injury.
Wheat and rye threshing has con-
tinued, much hay put up, timothy har-
vest progresses; tomatoes are abund-
ant.
Kentucky-Warm weather with
heavy local showers unevenly distrib-
uted. Corn is fine, except in the low
lands of the western counties and
where damaged by chinch bugs. To-
bacco is growing rapidly and some is
being topped. Oat harvest is begun;
haying progressing, but reports of crop
are conflicting. Some wheat has been
damaged in the shock; peach crop
large.
OhioWarm days and nights, local
showers and plenty of sunshine favor
ed the growth of all crops. Wheat har-
vest is about over and mostly housed or
stackcd; some threshing has been done
with poor yield. Some oats have been
cut, with fine prospects. Corn made
splendid progress and is silking Gar
dens are in good condition; barley and
rye fair, barley cutting begun. Tobac-
co did well; some chinch bugs in corn;
grapes are promising.

They Will Remain in the Convention
Until After Platform is Adopted.
Many of the Delegates Are In Favor of
Bolting the Convention-Gov. Flower
Thinks There is Possibility of the
Formation of n New Party.

CHICAGO, July s.-The New York
delegation held conference Wednes-
day morning to consider the situation
in the light of Tuesdays developments,
and agree on plan OF action. The de-
cision reached was to remain in the
convention for the present and abide
by the will of the majority, so far as
Wednesdays proceedings were con-
cerned at least. Tammany will sup
port the nominee. There was almost
full attendance. What the delega-
tion will do Thursday or the next day,
if the convention lasts that long, is an
other question The candidate ques-
tion was not considered.
In view of the fact that the platform
had not yet been adopted and in the
absence of Senator Hill, definite action
as to remaining in the convention
when candidates were being voted for
was deferred. 1t was said to be the
sense of those present, however, that
New York should leave the hall and
take no further part in the conven-
tion after the free silver platform is
adopted.
When Gov. Flower reached the hail
he said to representative of the United
Press: Many of the New York dele
cation arc in favor of boiling the con-
vention, but this proposition may not
carry. Everything depends upon
Wednesdays proceedings think,
however, there is strong possibility
of the formation OF a new party"
