COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 1O.-The anti
fusion delegates to the Populist state
convention sprang q great political
coup today. All the arrangements for
the convention had been made by a.
committee composed principally of fu-
sionfsts, and were calculated to further
the fusion plans. When the anti-fu-
s1onists discovered today that they had
g. majority of the delegates they pre-
pared to strike while the iron was hot.
The district meetings were to have
been held this afternoon and the con-
vention tomorrow, but this arrange
ment was ignored and the delegates
were hastily convened in the Auditori-
um at o'clock this afternoon, at which
temporary organization was formed,
with John Seitz, of Tiff1n, as chairman,
and A. S. Lghtwaler, of New Philadel-
phfa, as secretary. Mr.. Seitz is a lead
er of the anti-fusion faction. A recess
was then taken and the district meet
ings were held, the committees being
reported when the convention reass-
embed. Adjournm ent was then taken
to q. m. tomorrow When the COM
mtttee on permanent organization met

organization permanent The commit

The appointment of such committee

polls last January. The sessions will

Seven members Of the executive com
mittee responded to their names when
Chairman Hanna called the meeting to
order Those present were: Hugh n.
Hanna, of Indianapolis; E. o. Stan
nard, OF st. Louis; J. F. Hansen, Ma
con, Ca: George F. Peabody, New
York; Augustus E. Wilson, Louisville.
KY; j. w. Fries, Salem, N. c., and H.
I'll. Kohlsaat, of Chicago.
The committee held an executive
session and discussed plans for the fu-
ture. Nothing definite was done pend
ing the arrival of the remaining men,
bers of the committee tomorrow. The
present outlook is that what is known
as the Chicago plan " will probably
be adopted. The committee appointed
will work upon the general scheme
mapped out by the Indianapolis con-
vention and will have executive power,
regardless of the executive committee
and of the convention in the construc-
tion and presentation to congress of
a new financial system for this govern
ment.

is 87.5 as against SS5 on July 1, and
82.9 on Aug. 1, 1896. The area in buck
wheat is 4.S per cent less than last year,
and the condition is 949 as compared
with 96 at the corresponding period last
year.
The average condition of potatoes has
fallen during July from 87.8 to 77.9,
which latter figure is 16.9 points lower
than on Aug. 1, 1896. The condition of
tobacco, taking the country as a whole,
is practically unchanged, the consoli-
dated returns indicating 1877 per cent,
OF full crop as compared with 1876
per cent last month and 865 per cent
on Aug. l, 1896. The total area Of the
crop is 1.9 per cent less than last year
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michi-
gan, Indiana and Wisconsin, show a
slight increase, but this is more than
offset by the decrease in Illinois, Min
nesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Ne
braska, the two Dakotas and Caiifor-
mia. The condition of the apple crop
Is in the main very unfavorable. Ohio
and Michigan have little more than
one-third of full crop, Pennsylvania
slightly under and New York slightly
over half crop, and Virginia and Ken
lucky each about two-thirds Reports
from several points in Canada indicate
a short crop Of the larger fruits. par
ticularly apples, both in Ontario and
the maritime provinces. There are few
sections of the country that do not re-
port q failure more or less marked
in the peach crop. The average condi-
ton of pastures is very high, an aver
age exceeding or closely approaching
100 being reported from three-fourths
of the states.
