We give below a table of the rainf all to
date. The very heavy falIFmeasured on the
morpin5 Of the LIST Instant fell mostly on the
last LAY Of August. Several thunder clouds
passed OVER Bassin on Thursday and Thurs
day night, N1th inst..) giving II lines of
rain. Elsewhere the fall was small, but the
weather looked suspicious. and in West End,
it is said, there was a good deal of anxiety
as to an approaching gale. At this time of
the year, il may SAVE some unnecessary nerve
strain to remember that no hurricane in
this part Of the world can begin sfrom any
southern point. As the wind Oh Thursday
was southeast, a hurricane was impossible,
and as a matter of fact the thunder storms
have been followed by Gains With intense
heat. The rain and the heat together make
splendid growing weather, and prospects are
still improving.

ST.. LOUIS, June 17.-The Republican
national convention reassembled at 10
o'clock this morning. McKinly is sure
of the first place. Nothing but death
could now intervene.
The sentiment regarding the vice
presidential nomination rapidly crystal
lied when it became definitely known
that Governor Morton of New York
had expressed willingness to accept
if the nomination came to him with any
sort of unanimity. 1t seems almost cer-
tain now that the ticket will be McKin-
ley and Morton as that the platform
will be conservative but unequivocal
declaration in favor of the maintenance
of the gold standard as long as the pres
ent conditions prevail,
The shock of battle which took place
in the committee rooms will thunder
and reverbrate on the floor of the con-
vention today. The action Of the COM
mittee on credentials in deciding in
favor of the findings of the national
convention save in two instances it is
believed will make the convention brief
and many now believe that q final ad.
journment will be reached tomorrow
The indications are that the sensational
climax will come when the report OF
the resolutions committee is presented
The adoption of the platform is assured
by large majority, but the radical
silver men are expected to carry the
fight to the last ditch.
