PREVENT FROST
 BY CANNONADING
Experiments Made in France Cause Inquiries at Agri-
 cultural Department

Washington, June 9.-The extensive re. Lyons, France relative to the success of cannon firing in France as a means of protecting orchards and vineyards from hailstorms. and also for the purpose of mitigating or nullifying the effects of frosts upon vegetation have prompted numerous inquiries by horticulturists in this country as to when, if at all, our government would adopt similar methods of protection.
 Prof Willis l.. Moore. the chief of the weather bureau, acting under the direc- ton of Secretary Wilson, has issued the following statement:
 After an examination of all that has been published during the past two years, my conviction is that we have here to do with a popular delusion as remarkable as Is the belief in the effect of the moon on the weather. the uneducated peasantry of Europe seem to be looking for some thing miraculous They would rather be- lieve in cannonading as a means of pro- lection and spend on 1t abundance of money, time and labor than adopt the very simple expedient of mutual insur- ance against the losses that must fnevit- ably occur.
 ''The great processes going on In the atmosphere are conducted on too large a scahe to warrant any man or nation In attempting to control them
 ''The energy expanded by nature m the production of a hailstorm, a tornado, or a rainstorm exceeds the combined en- ergv of all the steam engines and explo- sives in the world. It is useless for man. kind to combat nature on this scale

Washington, June 9-The slight# im- provement In Mrs. McKinley's health which manifested itself the latter part of the week continues and hopes begin to be felt that she may after all recover from the present attack. The improvement however, is so slight as not to change materially the extreme gravity of the case.
 The usual consultation of the phy stefan was held this morning and at its close the following bulletin was issued:
 I'll: :15 a. m.-Mrs. McKinley's physicians report that she passed a very comfortable night and continues to improve
 The fact that Mrs. Mckinley has more than held her own and that no unfavor able turn has occurred Is considered in every way encouraging. but as this result is due partly to the constant use of pow erful medicines, the physicians fear the effet of reducing the stimuants and like wise having to cope with the effect on her

London, June 9.-In spite of the reduc- ton of the bank rate accompanied by easy money and encouraging New York quotations last week. the Stock Exchange was decidedly sluggish at the end.

AMERICAN SECURITIES
 AN ATTRACTIVE FIELD

Pacific excitement There Is no doubt however, that London business is on the eve of a revival and American securities offer the only attractive field of opera tions.
 The Rand outlook Is now fairly prom ising. Six of the leading plants have re- sumed crushing and others are preparing to follow. Optlmists count upon South African receipts fortifying London's goli position in the autumn, and consequently they prophecy a continuation of easy money. Conservative opinion believes that the largely extended Rand operations will probably draw more capital than they will replace for some months to come.

 Members Will Vote for It
A CHANGE OF SENTIMENT
Cuban Convention Reconvenes in Se- cret Session Today-Cubans Said to Prefer Any Kind of lnde-
 pendence to Military Rule

Havana, June 9.-The conservative mem bers of the Constitutional Convention are absolutely confident tonight that the Platt amendment will be accepted and that the several radicals will join with the fifteen delegates who have heretofore voted in favor of acceptance. The last few days seem to have brought about decided change in the attitude of delegates who had been bitterly arraigning the Wash ington government for rejecting the con vention interpretations of the amend ment.
 The strong pressure on the outside brought to bear on the convention to fur nlsh it's business and to place the coun- try on a settled basis has had an excel lent effect on the radicals. inducing them to accept the inevitable; and some of them now argue that it would be perhaps bet ter to accept the amendment, hoping for some form of independence, than to pro- long the military occupation of the is- land.
 The convention will meet in secret ses- sion tomorrow It Is expected several days will elapse before a vote Is taken.
