RELIEF FROM HOT
 WEATHER IN SIGHT
Drought Not Broken.

Topeka, Kan, July 16.-While rain has fallen during the past twenty-four hours in various parts of Kansas the drought is not yet broken and little benefit has been experienced by the crops. The rains have been local showers and their only effect has been to cool the atmosphere and freshen vegetation. The refreshing breeze from the south today made the weather more bearable than any during the past month Two places in the state report temperature of 107, but the aver age has been about 99. Reports of blight ed crops continue to come in. A hopeful tone pervades most of the reports how ever In the eastern division of the state crops are suffering more than In any other. The damage done In the central part Is less severe, while In the western part the conditions are the most favor able The corn crop Is not the only thing at stake To obtain water for stock and for fire protection is a much studied prob lem, and one that will not be solved until the coming of rain. Previous estimates of half a crop of corn this year will still hold good in case more rain comes with in the present week. Late apples have been hurt but little, while peaches are damaged more and small fruits have fail- ed almost entirely

Birmingham, 4; shreveport, 2.

6iFninDnam, 3i shreveport q.
 Birmingham won five-inning game from Shreveport yesterday, making two victories out of the present series.
 The locals put a whole lot of snap and ginger into the game and started out in the first inning to clinch the victory.
 Keefe, the old-time National Leaguer, was in the box for the visitors and held the locals down to four hits in the five innings. He sent five men to first on balls, however, and this generosity on his part proved costly. The team back of him failed to give him perfect support. and this. too, proved fatal.
 Wilhelm pitched for the locals and was effective with men on bases.
 With one out in the first inning Martin and veitch walked and each advanced a base on La Rocques out, short to first Martin scored on Kalkhoffs single and veitch and Kalkhoff scored on Culver's double. Three runs
 In the fourth McDevitt walked, Gillen sacrificed him to second and he scored on Moss single.
 Shreveport made two in the third on Mulkey's single. Montgomerys triple and O'Rourke's hit to pitcher.
 Culver started the sixth inning with a long drive to the center field fence for three bases, but hard rain coming up Umpire Cline called time. After waiting fifteen minutes for the rain to cease and the downpour continuing, he called the game. As five innings had been played 1t goes as another victory for Birming- ham The score:

CALL FOR MEETING.
Bryan Democrats In Ohio Issue Gall for
 Convention.

Cleveland O., July 16.-The official call of the Bryan Democrats' of Ohio was issued today. It is addressed to "the Bryan Democrats of Ohio," and charges that the Ohio convention repudiated the two last Democratic national platforms and that the action of the convention was the result of a conspiracy mapped out at the headquarters in New York" The platform concludes as follows:
 'If the action of this convention stand unrebuked. then 1t must be understood that the Democratic party as such has repudated the principles enunciated in the Kansas City platform and ratified and approved of the course pursued by the Republican party upon the money question. If the Democratic party aban- don the principles laid down in the plat forms of 1896 and 1900 then it may as we'll close it's political career for there is little else of importance to fight for"

CONCORD RETURNS.
Its Commander Directed to Explain l--4-- Ills Action.

Washington, July 16.-The navy depart ment has received a telegram from Lieu tenant Commander Henry Minott. exc. cutive officer of the gunboat Concord an- tnouncing the arrival of that vessel at Seattle. The announcement occasioned no little surprise inasmuch as the Concord recently was ordered home from the As- iatic station and sent to Unalaska to as- sist in enforcing the liquor laws. The tel egram said that Commander Knox of the Concord was ill., leaving 1t to be supposed that this was the cause of the Concord 8 unexpected return to Seattle. The depart ment immediately wired for full particu- lars of this move of the Concord. which had not the sanction of the navy depart ment- A vessels undirected abandonment of her post constitutes rather serious offsnse under ordinary circumstances.
