Chillicothc, Mo-, July 31.-W. j.
Bryan, who lcctured here Tuesday
night. gave an interview. Asked If he
would be candidate for the nomina-
ton again in 1904, Mr.. Bryan replied:
II have said repeatedly that am q
candidate for no office. However, I
would not enter into Il bond never to
become candidate. 1t would be fool
ish in any man to announce his candi-
dncy for such an Office al such time,

to be continually put 10 me by newspa-

DROUGHT IS BROKEN.
Nearly Half a Crop of Corn 1. Pre-
dfcted for Kansas-Fall Pastures
Greatly Benefited,

Kansas City, Mo-, July 3O.-The
drought has been broken in Kansas
and Missouri by good rains that have
fallen in heavy and frequent showers
since Sunday morning. Col. George
w. Veale, who has closelyw watched con-
ditions in Kansas for score of years,
on Monday said that Kansas would
raise nearly half crop of corn. The
late planted corn, he said, was already
showing signs of life and vigor and all
chat had not tasseled out before the
rains would make more than a half
crop. He said the people would raise
sufficient forage feed for all the cattle
now on the range in Kansas. The rains
will greatly benefit fall pastures. AL
ready the brown prairies are changing
to green and farmers and stockmen
say the landscape will show pleasing
contrast within the next two weeks.
1t cannot be said that Saturdays rain
broke the drought, as little good would
have resulted if it had stopped there.
1t is the steady and persistent show
ers that have prevailed since Sunday
morning that have brought the needed
relief and improved the agricultural
conditions. They have extended all
over Kansas and the western half of
Missouri, several points in those states
reporting two inches and more of rain
fall.
Topeka, Kan, July 30.-In the place
of dry weather reports, ruined crops
and hot winds in Kansas, now comes
news of copious rains, unfordable
streams and a restoration of conf
dence. Most of the rains have come to
the eastern and central parts of the
state, but late reports from the west
show the rain has extended clear
through to the Colorado line. There
is hardly point in the state that has
not received rain during the past week.
Corn will not be greatly helped, but
enormous quantities of rough feed
will be raised and the outlook for
stock men is greatly improved.
Abundance of water has been provided
for stock where there was great
scarcity week ago.
Chicago, July 3o.-Reports of 1870
experts to the RecordHerald are
that the drought has cut the corn
crop one-thirtl, but that the wheat
harvest will be the greatest in The
nations history,

KIMBERLY WON'T SERVE.
Court of lnGuiry Owing to
Ill-LIcalth,

Washington, July 31.--A letter has
been received at the navy department.
from Admiral Kimberly, asking to be
excused from the Schlcy court of in
CURRY on account of the state of his
health. The admiral is understood to
be suffering from heart trouble. The
Application was placed in the hands
OF Secretary Long. who will dispose
nf the matter from his home in
'li%ham, Mass.
When the navy department closed
at four O'Clock Tuesday afternoon
ADMIRAL Crowninshirld. acting secre-
AIRY oil the navy. said he had not seen
me letter which Admiral Schley wrote
TO the secretary of the navy ac-
knowledging the receipt of the court
OF inquiry precept and making certain
suggestions in reference thereto.
Capt. James Parker, the former naval
officer, who is acting as assistant
counsel in the case for Admiral
SchleN, says that the letter was
mailed to Secretary Long at six
O'Clock Sunday evening. Capt. Parker
says that he himself deposited the
letter i'll box at the general post
Office. In the ordinary course of the
mails the letter should have reached
Secretary Long Monday morning. The
superstition at the department is that
if Secretary Long received the letter
he took it with him on his departure
from Washington Tuesday morning
without making its contents known
to the officials of the department.. 1t
is certain that the letter of Admiral
Schley comments upon the fifth speci-
tication of the preccpt, and, it is be-
lieved, makes certain suggestions re-
garding it. Capt. Parker will remain
here several days to complete his en-
animation of the official papers bear
ing upon matters which will come be-
fore the court.
New York, July 31.-John d. Long,
secretary of the navy, arrived in
New York city en- route to Massachu-
setts for months vacation. The Sec
rotary declined to talk on the Schley
case, saying his recent order impos-
ing silence applied to persons in the
navy department..
Washington, July 3l.-Sccretary
Long left Tuesday for his annual va
cation, which will be spent in New
England. Until the return of Assist
ant Secretary lIackctt, Admiral
Crowninshield. chief q. the bureau of
navigation, will be acting secretary
of the navy.
Admiral Srhlcy has already begun
the preparation of his case. At his
request Mr.. james Parker. his assist
ant counsel. Tuesday made npplica-
ton to the department for permits
sion to examine the logs and official
records in connection with the move
mcnts of The shlps on the south side
of Cuba, and this permission was
granted. Mr.. Parker was given ac-
cess to these documents and was cX-
amining them Tuesday. Both Ad-
mirnl Dewey, the president of the
court, aud Admiral Rrnham were at
the department Tuesdn The latter
has formally acknowledged the re-
ccipt of the order of Secretary Long
detailing him on the court. There is
no question OF acceptance OF such q
detail where an officer is physically
able to serve and Admiral Bcnllnm
expects to be present when the court
cOnvencs September 12.
