CoL0RED MEN,s CONTENTION.
Opposed to Endorsing Any Political
 Party.


 Boston, Aug. 1.-The colored men at their national convention this morning had heated discussion in regard to whether politics should be talked over in the convention.
 B. G. Walker of Boston said he stood on the idea that the word should go out that the black men of the United States met at this convention for the purpose of considering the interests of the ne- gro, and not for the purpose of indorss ing any political party. Don't, for Gods sake,'' he said. "indorse openly or don't permit stealthily. an indorse- ment of any political party to go out from this convention"
 The matter which provoked the talk was a motion made by Rev. H. O. c. Atwood to appoint a committee to ar- range for political discussion, and 1t had a number of ardent supporters. Rev. MT. Scott was one of the men who opposed the introduction of politics into the conventi9n, but another person pointed to the fact that the call, which resulted in the convention and of which MT. Scott was evidently the author, re- ferred distinctly to the abridged privi- leges of the colored man.

WEArHER IND THE CROPS.
Many Fields Ruined- New England Crops
 Doing Well.


 Washington, Aug. 1.-The weather bulletin for the week to yesterday says:
 Intense heat and general lack of rain conditions which characterized the pre- ceding week in the southern states have continued during the week end ing August 10 and have affected the principal crops in that section very un- favorable. While the week has been excessively warm throughout the most of the country east of the Rockies the injurious effects on crops have been confined to the southern states and cot ton is the crop that has suffered to the greatest extent.
 The cotton crop has deteriorated gen. erally throughout the cotton belt The intense heat and lack of moisture have caused premature opening of bolls and shedding and in portions of Arkansas the plant on uplands is dying.
 In central and northern Texas and Oklahoma hot winds have seriously in- jured cotton and under the most fla vorable future conditions the crop in Texas will be below the average, The general condition of the crop is much in advance of the season. North Caro- lima reports that the first bale has been marketed in that state earlier than ever before.
 Late corn has been injured to some extent by hot winds in portions of Kan sas and southwestern Nebraska and in the southern portions of Missouri and Illinois it is suffering from drought. Generally throughout the southern states corn has not made favorable progress during the week, but In the great corn states of the central valleys and northwest the crop is maturing rapidly under most favorable condi- tions and much of the early planted corn as far north as Iowa will be made by September l, much earlier than usual.
 The general condition of tobacco is promising, although ripening too rap idly in portions of Kentucky and Ten nessee. The crop Is much in advance of the season and cutting is now in progress in Ohio, Pennsylvania, In- diana and New England. Considerable playhing for all seeding has been done. Light frost occurred in east ern Idaho on the morning of the 9th, causing little or no damage. A special report says:
 New England-Hot and sultry, with rain Crops making unusually rapid growth. Tobacco very large, cutting begun; corn and second grass prom ises to be heavy. Apples large crop'

 ments.
 New York, Aug. 11--There was fa- tai fire this afternoon In the buildings at Nos. 465, ACT and 469 Greenwich street, occupied by the A. K. Warren electric repair works. and number of smaller firms. In the excitement at tending the outbreak it was first re- ported that at least thirty lives were lost. Some of those reported lost were afterwards accounted for. The accu- rate number of victims will not be known until the ruins are searched. It IS believed, however, that the death list will prove to be heavy.
 While the firemen were fighting the flames the bodies of two victims could be plainly seen in fire escapes. Five men and boys were injured while es- caping from the burning building They were taken to Hudson street hos pital, mangled and burned,
 What caused the fire is not known It is known that an explosion occurred few minutes after the fire broke out,
 The fire spread like a flash through the building at No. 465. where the fire originated, and cut off the escape of many. The firemen who first reached the scene of the confagration saw a number of men at the windows appeal ing for help, but before an attempt at rescue could be made they fell back ex- hausted, and all are supposed to have perished.
 Altogether there wer&thirty- two men employed by the Warren company. There were fifteen on the sixth or top floor; eleven on the fifth; four on the fourth, and Q couple in the office on the ground floor. It will be several hours before the ruins are cooled sufficiently to allow the firenlen to enter.
 Those who claim to have been nearby when the first alarm was given say that faces were seen at nearly every window. That at least four are dead in the ruins there can be no doubt, for their charred bodies lie exposed to view on the fire escapes of the third and fifth stories Two others, one q girl, were seen to fall back in the flames overcome probably by the smoke before the fire touched them.
 The injured as far asi known are: Felix Hass, Thomas Sharkey, unknown man, unconscious. will probably die Engene Greenwood, a boy; VI Cum mings, badly burned, back apparently broken. jumped from fourth story win dow and striking structure of the ele- vated road fell to the ground, will die
 Among the dead are William Gray foreman of the electrical works, and Esther Einstein, an employe.

Heat in New Haven Unprecedented, Being
 0a Degrees in the Streets.

9S Degrees in the Streets.
 The predictions Of the weather bu- relu that yesterday would be another intensely hot day proved only too true There were no showers, no breezes, to cool the heated streets and buildings, and the heat was almost unbeara ble before the sun had begun to pour down its scorching, beams, At o'clock yes terday morning the thermometer of the weather bureau, high up on the Insur- ance building, marked 81 degrees, and not content with the records broken on Monday, the mercury crept rcmcrse lessly up to 93, one degree higher than yesterdays maximum, breaking all past records for the month of August in this city. The top of the Insurance building was a comparatively cool place in com oarison with the hot streets below, where the mercury would undoubtedly average 8 or 10 degree higher.
 Allwho could. do so kept within doors. but those whose work called them into the street suffered severely from the burning, scorching heat, and men and animals alike felt its whitening effect.
 Several heat prostratiors were re- ported and three deaths. There are doubtless many other cases of heat prostrations not reported. Two horses also were killed by the heat
 Weather Observer Myers said last night that there was cooler weather in sight.
 To-day will be little more endura- ble and by this evening there will be quite decided change
 The present hot wave extends all over the region east of the Mississippi, ex, cspt around the Great Lakes It is cooler up in the northwest, and New Haven will probably begin to get the benefit of the reduced temperature some time to-day. The thermometer last evening at 8 o'clock stood at S4. and the slight breeze made it a little more endurabIe
