HOUR OF ISSUE.
If the Reports Are Continued TheJ
 Should Come nt II a.. m.

Minneapolis, July 25.-Following up the agitation initiated by the New York Produce Exchange, the Minneap- oils Chamber of Commerce today adopted two radical motions affecting the issuance of the government month ly crop report and forwarded them In the form of recommendations to Wash ington tonight. The first motion fa- vored a discontinuance of the month ly reports. it being declared the sense of the meeting that the commercial interests of the United States would be better served by the issuance of a monthly summary only. The second motion proposed that if the reports were to be continued the time be changed from 3 p. m. Washington time to Il a. m.
 The principal opposition to the pres ent hour of issue comes from the fact that the Liverpool market gets the first opportunity to analyize and di- gest the crop. American markets be- ing closed when 1t comes out. Many members of the local chamber think this method which gives the European markets the first chance at statistics covering American crops and collected by the American government at great expense Is wrong and should be changed.

PORTO RICO
 DISSATISFIED Changes E Governmental
 Nsxods Wanted coNy'rrIor AT SAN JUAN D Agates from Municipalities y in Session. Congress fs Memorialfxed in the Hope That Certain sweepiag Reforms Now Needed May Be
CONVENTION AT SAN JUAN

San Juan, P R., July c5.-Delegates representing sixty-five out of the sixty six municipalities of Porto Rico and both political parties, assembled in con vention here today to memorialize Con- gress with the hope of bringing about sweeping changes in the Government of this island.
 The memorial to Congress adopted by the convention recites that this is the seventh anniversary of the American invasion of Porto Rico and complains that the preponderance Of power still rests with an active council composed of heads of departments appointed by President Roosevelt.
 These heads Of departments" it says. arrive here knowing nothing of the language, customs or needs of ter disembarking take their seats in the executive council and determine the fate of the island"
 The memorial calls for no change in the composition of the House of Dele gates. which consists of thirty-five members elected by the people. but de- mands the following amendments to the Foraker law:
 Amendments Proposed.
 "First-The organization of an insu- lar Senate to be composed of two Sem ators each from seven districts in place of the Executive Council. !.
 'Second-That the proposed Senate and House possess the same privileges granted to the House under the Foraker law.
 'Third-That the Secretary of Porto Rico. the Attorney General. the Treas urer, the Auditor, the Commissioner of Education and the Commissioner of the Interior. continue in their present offices under the present titles, but that they form no part of the Execu- tive Council.
 "Fourth-That the officials named be appointed by the Governor with the consent of the Insular Senate and not by the President of the United States"
 The amendment was adopted by a ris- ing vote. the delegates cheering for five minutes. The convention also adopted a petition for presentation t,s the IA- lsular Legislature for the protection of the municipalities and the granting to them of autonomy. Several speeches. bitter in tone, were made against cen tralizing the power in tho island in the hands of the Secretary of Porto Rico, and tho Executive Council.
 The gathering was serious and dig notified, and several of the delegations present were headed by Mayors, R. H. Todd, Mayor of San Juan. initiated the movement and was the chairman of the convention. His reason for calling the members of the municipalities together was the growing anti-American feeling throughout the island One result of the convention is the permanent estab- lishment of an organization known as the Porto Rico Municipal League, with Mayor Todd as President. Notable fea- lures of today's gathering were the to- tai absence of politics, the unanimity of purpose and determination of the delegates and the enthusiastic adoption of the memorial to Congress.
