The Indiana, weather and crop bulletin for the week tiding July says: "Excessively warm and dry, sunny Weather was interrupted by loeal rains on the 17th only, and all crops need rain. Corn, In many localities, was benefited by the rains, hut in others, no rain having fallen lor many days, the crop suffered severely, wilting and shriveling, and, Unless rain falls soon, a large portion of it will be seriously injured and the anticipated great yield much reduced; in the south and central portions it bean to silk and tassel. Many potato's are drying up. Although still In fair condition, tobacco need.5 rain badly. Cabbages arid other v getablt s and garden truck are almost ruined in localities, and pasturage Is getting dry. Wheat, rye and barley threshing continues in the south and central portions, and began in the north portion; the yield of rye is good; wheat yields well in many fields, in others, less so; barley, apparently, does not yield well.

July 23.-The Journal of Commerce, which to-day telegraphed to a large number of bank presidents in Iowa, Nebra.ska, Missouri and Kansas, to-morrow will print a special report which will say: "There Is every reason for believing thu the caily reports of damage to the corn crop by ihr drought have not been exaggerated. Oii the contrary, it is cjuite evident that the situation is very much worse than at Jirst reported. ;nd that now much of the injury is beyond repair. The region of worst damage lies within an Irregular irele of about tfi m!le in diameter, with St. Joseph, Mo. as an approximate center. Jt would pfem fr"m the returns given that a loss of r per cent, in this district would Ik: an exceedingly moderate estimate. This would indicate a I3 of at least 312.oiuiO bushels in the region of greatest drought, and piobably considerably more." Ilnnninn Crop n I'm II n re. WASHINGTON.

Only psalms will be sung at the convention. The Rev. Dr. Crooks, of Atlanta, today began instruct ng th Winona choruses in singing them. The taboo of hymns is one of the doctrines of the United Presbyterian Church. Many reasons are given for 00jecting to the ordinary church songs and hymns, but the principal one is that men to-day write such foolish words for church music. Many of the most popular church hymns are cited in proof of this assertion. The psalms, however, are rorceful and sound theologically. It is pointed out that an analysis of the hynms sung in churches many times shows that they are in direct variance with the sect doctrines of their users. The singing at the national convention this week will be one of its great features. Frank Rurlff, the noted Pittsburg director, will bring a special choir from that city, and II. el. Smith, the New YorK leader, will conduct the evening song services in connection with Dr. Chapman's serrnonettes. Delegates have already begun to arrive. The social trains will begin to come in to-morrow morning. President Nichol. vf Missouri, and other ofliccrs are her The tents have been put up for the campers.

That during ordinary rainfalls large quantities of water came o.own from the hills ami surrounding countiy to the north, and that said stone box or culvert was insufficient in capacity to carry the water which natura'lv flowed in that direction during heavy rainfalls, and that the railroad company might have known of the insuSleiency of said culvert had they used due care in its Inspection. "I lind also that the giving way of the railroad embankment under the tracks was caused bv the water backing un to the north of the grade, occasioned by the Insu til cent capacity of the culvert above mentioned, anil that the negligence of said railway c mpany in faiiin to provide a culvert of sulii lent capacity and endurance was the direct cause of said wreck und of the death of the persons killed therein."

Charles A. Bookwalter, the successful candidate fer the mayoralty nomination, was congratulated by hundreds of friends when he left the committee rooms a short time before midnight. Speaking of the campaign for the nomination he said: "It was a fair and hard battle, in fact, fiercer than we really expected. Mr. McGregor developed in many places an unexpected strength, while 1 am satisfied that in many places I treated him to as great a surprise. Every Republican of the city having had an opportunity to express his preference, and the contest having been an open and fair one, I shall enter the campaign, expecting the support of every Republican In Indianapolis, and there can be but the one result to such a campaign, and that !s the redemption of the city from the hands of the present administration of franchise grabbers." Mr. McGregor, the defeated candidate for the nomination, had no complaint to make when sufficient returns had been received to show his defeat. He said: "I went into . the campaign with practically no organization, and the result has been gratifying to me, notwithstanding that I did not receive sufficient votes to make me the nominee. 1 had a number of friends who stood by me and worked hard for my nomination against a perfect organization by the opposition. I desire to thank all my friends who have worked for my interests. I am a Republican, and will work for the ticket." ESTIMATE OF THE VOTING. Chairman Logsdon Thought Over 10,OOO Rnllots Would Be Cant. For several hours after the opening of he polls it was thought by many of those in touch with the situation that a very light vote would be polled and as late as 6 o'clock in the afternoon it was not thought the vote would exceed thirty-five votes to a precinct, or about 7,000 in all. Chairman Logsdon, however, who sat at his desk all the afternoon, and was in telephonic communication with nearly every precinct In the city, maintained all along that the heaviest vote would be cast between 6 and S o'clock. He estimated that at least fifty votes would be cast to the precinct and said that he would not be surprised if the total vote exceeded PU 00. or more than half the entire Republican vote of the city. The voting in the afternoon was very quiet and orderly, about the only place where there was any manifestation of feeling being in the Fifteenth ward. In the fifth precinct of this ward there was a dispute among the election officers as to the proper construction of the phrase in the primary election law governing the qualifications of voters. The phrase reads: "Each qualified legal voter of the precinct, who, at the last preceding election, voted for the regularly nominated candidates of the party. ami affiliated with the party holding such election, etc.. shall be entitled to vote at such election." A few of the election officers con strued the phrase to mean at the last preceding county election and the others insisted that it mean the last preceding city election. Chairman Logsdon was finally called by telephone and settled the matter bv declaring that the law referred to the voter who affiliated with the party at the last preceding county election. There was a steady vote in the Thirteenth ward all the afternoon and a large vote was also polled in the Third ward owing to the hard fight that was waged between Crall and Rristor. candidates for councilman. In the Second ward the race between liillingsley and McGuff brought out a large vote, and considerable spirit was manifested by the friends of the two candidates. Late in the afternoon it was thought that the heaviest vote would be cast in the First. Second. Third, Fourth. Fifth, Sixth and Seventh wards. The voters on the South Side were slow in going to the polls. dipt. English nn Inspector. Capt. William E. English, who lias been spending the summer on his farm near Lexington, Ind., returned to the city yesterday morning in order to participate in the Republican primaries, having been appointed Inspector for his precinct. The captain has a brown and healthy look which betokens that he has been personally superintending his crops. He has a magnificent farm of 4Y) acres and has lately restored the old house in which the English family dwelt for many years and added many improvements. Half of Capt. English's land is In timber and he won't allow a tree to be cut. When a flag poie was raised on July 4 he bought the pole rather than use one of his own trees. Obituary. LONDON. July 23. Howard E.

INCREASE IS MARKED

NOTABLE GAIN IN Ol H COMMERCE WITH SISTER KEPtRLICS. Over 913S.OOO.OOO Worth of Goods Exported to Lntln American Countries In the Past Fiscal Yeur. WASHINGTON. July 21. Exports from the United States to all American countries and Islands s;uth of her boundaries show a marked increase In the fiscal year just ended and exceed these of any other year in the history of our commerce. This statement. Just announced by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, is especially Interesting, in view of tne various efforts being made for closer b.isiness, commercial and transportation relations between the United States and her neighbors at the south. New lines of steamers have recently been put on between the Pacific coast of the United States and the western coast of Mexico, Central and South America. A recently published statement indicates that great financial interests of the United States have obtained control of the nearly completed transcontinental line connecting Argentina with Chile; the establishment of additional direct steamship linens between the eastern coast of the United States and South American ports is under discussion, and the opening of an isthmian canal would give a straight line of water communication from the eastern coast of the United States to the western coast of South America. All of these movements In the direction of closer relations between the United States and her neighbors at the south add interest to the announcement that our exports to those countries in lwl are larger than those of any preceding year, and to some figures Just presented by the Bureau of Statistics showing the imports of each of the South American countries at the latest date and the exports from the United States to each of those countries in 1'jOI. The growth of exports from the United States to Central and South America has not kept pace in the past with the growth in other directions. The total eports to South America in 1S00. for instance, were no more than those of 1S:0, being in each of those years, in round numbers, $3$,000,0no, while the same statement holds good with reference to Central America, the total exports from the United States to the Central American states being in P90 and 11 H) in each case. In round numbers, Sö.OoO.OoO. It Is to Mexico and the West Indies that our exports in the decade lS'JO-HKX) show the greatest Increase, being: To the West Indies, in 1SU0. JnOU. and in 10 $47.CO.OoO, r.nd to Mexico in 1KJ $13.000.0(1. and in 11 $34.000.000. The fiscal years 1100 and llJl show a much greater increase in our sales to our neighbors at the south than in anypreceding years. The total exports to Mexico. Central and South America and the West Indies in 1S39 were tl03.fW.imo, In 1100 $127.000.000 and in lf0l J133.000,0'V), in round numbers. Thus the figures of Wl are $35,000,000 greater than those of l$f0. while the 1SW figures are only JI.OOO.OOO greater than those of 13. The importance of satisfactory transportation facilities is illustrated by a study of the growth of our export trade with the countries at the south. Prior to the construction of railway lines connecting Mexico with the United States our exports to Mexico seldom reached $10mO,(!0; by lS'iti they were $20.000, 000; by is:9. $:5.0oO.Oi0; in 1600. $34,000.000, and in l:Jl, $3.,o.wo, in round numbers. To the West Indies the transportation system is much more satisfactory than to the South American countrVs, and to those Islands our exports have grown from $34,000 n) in 1S31 to $4'j.ou0,ooo in 1601. To Central and South America, with Which steamship communication has not been satisfactory, the growth has been less, the figures, as already indicated, being in 11 J practically the same as in 181), while the figures for 11 and UK'l show in each case a considerable increase. This Increase is especially notable in the exports to the countries on the western coast of South America reached by the recently established lines connecting the western coast of the United States with that of South and Central America and which were put Into operation about the beginning of the present calendar year. The figures of our exports to South America show an Increase of nearly 1"0 per cent, to I'eru in eleven months ending with May, l'JOl. as compared with the same period of the fiscal year lyoo, and nearly 100 per cent, to Chile in the same time. Of the increase of $0.000,000 in exports to South America in 1?01 as compared with 1000 more than two-thirds is to the countries on the western coast.

The announcement that American capital has taken control of and will complete the unfinished section of the transcontinental railway system of South America connecting Chile and Argentina suggests that there may follow a practical revival of Interest in the great project for a Pan-American railway line to connect the North and South American railway systems, advocate u for many years by Mr. Hinten Rowan Helper, and lends Interest to the figures of the report of the intercontinental railway commission on the proposed through railway line from New York to Buenos Ayres. These figures, which were issued in 1S9S, show the entire distance bv the proposed route from New York to lüienos Ayres to be 10.22s miles, of which 4.772 miles were then constructed and 5.456 yet to be constructed at an estimated cost of $175,OOO 000.
