at Paris toward the United States. He has

in receipt to-day of cablegram from the
assistant commissioner general announcing
that a special area Of ten thousand square
feet has been set apart for an American
limited railway train, which he thinks will
reflect great credit on the American dis

of the forestry building and will send logs
TO Paris OF a diameter that will make a
startling exhibit. The area for the life
saving service station has been doubled by
the liberality of the French officials and
every other concession that has been asked
since the return of the commissioner gen.
eral. last May, has been granted by the
French people. The space diagrams in many
of the departments are completed and are
being sent out to the exhibitors for their

WIRE PULLING IN OHIO.
j. n. Mclean Said to Be Trying to
Thwart Thurmnn's Ambition.

Thwart Thurmnn's AmD1t1on.
CINCINNATI, July while there has
been much agitation recently about John r.
Mclean. proprietor of the Cincinnati En-
quirer, being candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor, yet his
friends made no oren or public declarations
here till to-day The declarations to-day
were due to reports sent out from Wash
ington in which Mr.. Mclean declared his
candidacy, and to the fact that Daniel Nc
Conville and other friends of Mr.. Mclean
were in conference here. and they claimed
that Mr. Mclean was already assured OF
tho nomination by the GAINESVILLE conven-
ton next month.
There are other candI, ates for the nomi-
nation, and some of them have canvassed
the State very thoroughly. The most prom
inent candidate in the field is probably Col.
James Kilbourne, of Columbus. 1t Is stated
also that there is a movement for Allen
W. Thurman for second place on the ma
tional ticket with Bryan next year. and that
the candidacy of Mr.. Mclean this year for
Governor would give him such prestige as
possibly to interfere next year with Thur
man for Vice President as well as with Kill
bourne and others this year for Governor.
1t is also believed here that Colonel Kill
bourne, Allen w. Thurman, Judge j. p.
Tarvin, of Covington. KY, president Of the
Bimetallic League Of the Ohio Valley, and
others will have conference with Mr..
Bryan at Columbus over the Ohio situa-
ton. Judge Tarvin is considered the Ken
lucky favorite for second place on the ticket
with Bryan. The friends of Mr.. Mclean
claim that they are not In the field In any
sense against Mr.. Bryan, and that they
have simply entered the canvass for the
purpose of nominating a state ticket at
GAINESVILLE that can be elected" There are
some who think that the candidacy of Mr..
Mclean was announced more emphatically
to-day than heretofore on account OF the
meeting of leaders of the party with Mr..
Bryan at the state capital.
