in progress in various parts of the city,
esp ecially arranged for the delegates.
In all the subject of "Kingship," the
topic of the convention, was foremost
in the thoughts of the speakers.
After a largely attended missionary
praise service at the Coliseum, the del
egates scattered to the morning SER
vices of many churches. in which some
of their leaders were occupying the
pulpits. Thy Kingdom Come" was the

GOOD NEWS FROM CORN BELT.
The Drought Broken and Tempera-
lures Are Lower.

Washington, July 2S. - To-day's
weather bureau advices from the great
corn belt We're the most encouraging
that have come to hand for the past
forty days, showing, in the opinion of
the forecasters, that the drought has
been broken by general visitation Of
showers in many portions of that sec
tion, and with a prospect of their con-
tinuation tomorrow. Coincident with
the fall of rain has come reduced tenn
peratures. With few exceptions the
temperatures reported were not alb
normally high, no maximums of 100
degrees being reported. West of the
Mississippi river they were generally in
the neighborhood of 80 degrees. The
forecasters while not making any
specific predictions as to the effect of
the rain on the crops, express the
opinion that all those crops which have
not been irreparably ruined will be
benefited by the breaking OF the
drought. The late crops naturally will
be helped the most. The reports show
that during the past twentyfour hours
showers were quite general in the corn
belt and were heavy in places.

PORTO RICO is PROSPEROUS.
The Improvement Due to Her People
and Not to American Enterprise.
Correspondence of the Associated

Correspondence of the Associated
Press.)
San Juan, Porto Rico, July 23.-
Events have already proved that the
lax law drawn up by the Legislators of
this island will provide ample means
for the islands requirements. This in
dicates that Porto Rico is more pros
porous than it was a couple of years
ago Steady improvement has been
made since the day Gen. Miles landed
at Guanica three years ago. The
people are in better physical
condition and work with more
spirits. Plantations that went un-
worked for a long time are beginning
to show signs of prosperity. There is
more shipping in the harbor; and the
signs generally indicate better condi-
tions.
Nevertheless, scarcely an instance
can be cited where any considerable
amount of American capital has been
invested in Porto Rican enterprises.
Numerous promoters and capitalists
have visited the island, have declared
that this or that investment would
bring good returns, and then have gone
away never to be heard from again.
