EUROPE EXPECTS
BIG CROP YIELDS
HARVEST WILL BE LARGER THAN
THOSE OF LAST TWO
YEARS.
CANADA LOOKS PROMISING.
Fields in the Dominion Will Turn Out
Heavy for All Grains Except
Winter Wheat.
GOVERNMENT MAKES REPORT.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Aug. "A
With midharvest reached in Europe, the
department of agriculture today issued q
report showing the conditions of the
crops in foreign countries. The condi
tons are the least promising in central
Europe. AS to this section the report
says:
Little improvement was permitted
last month, because of the weather. In
Germany and Austria Hungary a cousid
cradle decline in this years wheat crop
and moderate decrease in rye seem as.
sured. The reduction in wheat in central
Europe will be 100000 bus below last
year when a bare average crop was
reaped.
Western and southwestern Europe"
the report adds. ARE rcapiuG crops much
more satisfactory. In Great Britain, on
an increased acreage the condition of
wheat is placed / per cent. above aver
age. In Spain, Il yield is expected Suf
ficient to supply the domestic demands
In Italy the crop yield generally seems
satisfactory but the quality is poor. Al
official estimate places the probable har
vest 10 per cent. or about lo,oooOol
bushels above last year The latest of
fetal crop report of France Is uniaNor
able as regards conditions, hut an aver
age wheat harvest is still possible, owing
to the increased area.
In the East and South
Throughout eastern and southern
Europe good crop conditions have beer
maintained In Roumania, in spite OF
a smaller area of wheat, Il crop much
larger than last year is expected IL
Bulgaria and Servia the promise is IA.
vorable, while in Russia the crops are
rated good. In the latter country the
acreage of winter wheat is undoubtedly
less than last year, but spring wheat is
the crop much more largely grown.
The stocks left over from last year
have run low and the latcness of this
years harvest in importing countries
will cause further drain. While the
European harvest as n whole will un.
doutebdly be larger than that of the
last two years, when there was serious
crop shortage. il is unlikely to come up
to that of 1906, or even Of 1905.
Canada Is Promising.
Outside of Europe and the United
States, Canada is the only important pro.
ducer which harvestS its crops at this
season; latest reports are decidedly en-
couraging, indicating for all grains, cX.
Cept winter wheat, a crop much in ex.
cess Of last year.

NEXT IRISH VICEROY,
Expectation That Honor Will Be Given
to Earl of Granard Well Re
ceived

DUBLIN, Aug. lit is believed here
that the Earl of Aberdeen intends re.
signing the viceroyship soon. His admin.
istration has pleased neither Ireland nor
the Liberal party in England, while it is
known that there has been friction be.
tween Lord Aberdeen and the King on
several occasions, originally arising out
Of the scandal concerning the theft Of the
jewels Of the Order of st. Patrick from
Dublin castle. On the other hand the
Countess Aberdeen has made herself be
loved by all classes.
The countess has heard that Lady
Granard is informing her friends TINT
her husband is slated to succeed Lord
Aberdeen, and she cannot understand
the American countess indiscrctinu IN
counting her chickens before they are
Matched. 1t is quite likely now that Tia,
Countess of Aberdeen may use her in.
tluence to prevent the American countess
from succeeding her. The Earl of Gran.
ards appointment would please the Irish,
because he is a Catholic, while the mil
| lions OF his American wife would enable
the Granard administration to become
spcctacularly brilliant. which wnuIC
please the Dublin tradcsmcu. Whether
| the exclusive society of Dublin would
accept the American countess remains to
be seen.
In the event of Lord Granard securing
the viceroyship. the Earl Of Craven,
Bradley Martins son-in-law, would en-.
deavor to secure Granard's place ms
master of the Kings horse. Lord
Craven, despite his title and his wifc's
wealth, has been heretofore unsuccessful
in obtaining n position at court.
At any rate. Dublin expects that there
will be pretty fight between the
Countess Of Aberdeen and the Countess
| Of Granard bcfor" the latter succeeds
her as mistress of the yicorrgal lodge
Politicians wonder whether the Earl Of
Granard is biz enough to administer the
yiceroy ship. rs he never was noted for
brilliancy before lie married the Amrrl.
