Welsh Rally Held on Ssadsy Which Waa

Usrs-It Wss the Largest Coavea
tloa Ever Held la America.
Chairman C. E. Daniels, of the Trl
county Christian Kndeavor union, re
turned last night from the Boston con.
ventlon. He Is the first Scrantonlan to
bring; back a report of the monster as
semblage, and as a consequence Is be
sought 'on all sides by the local En.
deavors who have friends In attend
ance.
A Tribune reporter was one of the
first to meet him as he alighted from
the train. He waa highly enthusiastic
over the great convention, and spoke In
glowing terms of Its success.
The Scranton people and all from
Northeastern Pennsylvania are domi
ciled at Hotel Huntington, the Pennsyl
vania headquarters, or at private
boarding houses on Massachusetts ave
nue, right In the heart of the city. They
are being royally treated by the people
of Boston, and will no doubt be loth to
leave It.
Pennsylvania la the Lead.
On Sunday afternoon a novelty In
Christian Endeavor conventions,
"Welsh Rally," was held in St. Paul's
church, on Fremont square. Among
those who delivered addresses wero
Rev. R. 8. Jones, of Providence; Rev.
D. M. George, of Pittston; and Rev. J,
L. Davis, of Akron, Ohio, formerly pas
tor or Plymouth church. Airs. G. W,
Powell, of Bellevue, also sang a solo at
the meeting.
"It was the largest convention ever
hold In America," said Mr. IXinlela
"and I am proud to Bay that the old
Keystone state was foremost In every.
thing-. Pennsylvania held the largest
and most successful of the state recep
tions. It waa advertised to take place
In the First Baptist church, but this
was found to be too small to contain
Half of tihose who came, so the place was
changed to the People's Temple, which
waa the headquarters for the Massa
chusetts people."
About Stste Convention.
In reference to the fight between At
lentown and Scranton for the state con
vention, Mr. Dun! vis said that he be.
Ik-veil Scranton woukl be successful,
but AUentown, he said, was making a
strong fight for it, and might possibly
succeed in capturing the plum.
' CROP PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
Reports From Railway Agents la the
Wheat, Corn and Oats Sections De
dare tbs Yield Will Be Larger Than Ex
nectsd-Traffle Will Follow.
Chicago, July 16. Ratlroad prospects
are more promising today than they
have been at any time since 1892. That
meana that the prospects for the whole
country are brighter than at any time
since then. The railroads might be
taken as the industrial and financial
barometer for the whole country, for
they cannot suiter without the whole
country suffering with them. They,
on the other hand, cannot prosper with
out the whole country partaking of
their prosperity and reaping the larger
part of the benefit. This la a fact which
Is generally lost sight of by the anti
railroad legislator. Nevertheless it is
a fact, and one which has time and
again been incontrovertably demon
strated.
A period of depression is generally
ushered. .In by a collapse of one or more
railroads. Its coming Is always ful
lowed Immediately by the discharge of
hundreds of thousands of men employed
directly by the railways In the construc
tion, maintenance and operation of the
railroads. The discharge of these Is
followed by the dismissal of as many
more who owe their employment In
directly to the railroads. There are a
few manufacturing Industries in the
country that do not count the railroads
as among their largest and most pro.
fl table customers. Hard times with the
railways mean the shutting down of
rolling- mills, the stoppage of work at
ore and coal mines and the curtailment
of the output of almost every manufac
turing establishment In .the United
States.
Big Crops In Sight.
It canithus be seen how much universal
Interest Is Involved In the statement
that the railroads are about entering up.
on a period of general prosperity. The
promise of this (s based on the pros
pects for as bounteous a harvest aa has
perhaps, ever been reaped In the whole
territory west of the Mississippi river.
Should present hopes be fully realised,
six months from now the only embar
rassment the roads will know wlll.be
how to keep their tracks and yards from,
being blockaded with the traffic that
will be passing over and through them,
and where to get rolling stock In which
to move the freight that Is thrust upon
them by the Impatient farmers of the
west and northwest, anxious to realise
at the earliest possible moment on the
grain and fruits with which nature has
o lavishly crowned their toll for the
year. .
From all parts of the territory named
comes nothing but reports of unprece-
dentedly large crops. Take the follow
ing reports from traffic officials of the
different western roads centering In
Chlcaa-o as Illustration of the existing
condition of affairs. It Is to be noted,
wniie doing so, that these reports have
been received from agents directly em
ployed by the roads to ascertain the
facta aa they exist and for no purpose
but to Inform the managers on what
bashs to lay their plans. If there bo
any error In them, It Is more likely to
us on ne part of conservatism than of
exaggeration. From no other source
pernaps m u possible to receive mn
correct forecasts.
Bright Outlook la the Northwest.
"Reports we have recetwul fv. .11
sections tributary to our system show
preixy gooa state or things," said M.
C. Markham. a salt ant tnnia
of the Illinois Central. "In the south
ern part of Illinois, where- the wheat
crop la already harvested, things have
turned out much better than waa at
one time expected. That la the terri
tory that suffered moat from drought,
but the wheat crop la thrashing out
considerably, more than waa expected.
The returns vary very much from dif
ferent sections), but .taklns- tham aa a
whole we ere eatlafled that the yield
will average 60 per cent, of a full crop.
This la only In southern Illinois. In
Kentucky and) Tennessee, which raise
great 'cuantltles of winter wheat, tha
return from tha thrashing have been
much. Hrger. Good crops have been
harvested there. Oats will be a large
crop everywhere, That crop did not
-Ov f ; '. .V . -' .'' .'
suffer from the drought. Tha straw
may be a little short, but the earl have
filled out finely and the crop has aa
caped the ravages of the chinch bus;.
The prospects of a large crop have been
Unproved very much by the recent rains
In Illinois. It waa feared at Brat that
they were too lata to do any good, but
aa things have turned out they were in
time to benefit the crop greatly. The
Indications are for the largest crop of
corn ever reaped. In Iowa the crop of
corn, wheat, oats and other small grain
will be tremendously large. There
never has been anything like them be
fore. From the south we have received
the most gratifying reports. They have
adopted new system there, and have
begun to raise diversified .crops. A
great crop of corn will be raised there
this year. Fears were entertained at
one time that they were having too
much rain, but later developments
have shown that the crops have not
suffered any harm from the supera
bundance of rain."
, Everything Looks Encouraging.
Northwestern officials are so Im
pressed with the certainty of good crops
that orders have been issued to have
their carahops worked full time and
full handed. The Northwestern lines
run through a more diversified terri
tory, so far ss crops are concerned,
perhaps, than any other western road.
Wheat with the Northwestern Is almost
as Important a crop as corn and oats
run both a close race for supremacy.
From all parts of the N'tv'thwestern
lines the most promlslnir reports have
been received. The spring wheat crop
of Minnesota and the Dakota promises
to be enormous and the corn crop of
Iowa and Nebraska will be the largest
on record unless something unforegsn
and unexpected occurs to blast It. In
addition to all this, the iron Industries
of the Lake Superior region are becom
ing active again and the mines are be
ing worked full time to supply the de
mand for ores, which has Increased
enormously. The Northwestern is look
ing forward to one of the heaviest traf
fic years In lt history.
"I do not know of any combination of
adverse circumstances that could spoil
present prospects," said Mr. Higglns,
assitant to Vice President George B.
Harris, of the Burlington. Santa Fe
officials report the prospects In the
whole 6f the territory through which
their lines run as most gratifying, with
the exeoeption of a portion of southern
Illinois, where the wheat crop Is Bhort.
Winter wheat in Missouri and Kansas
'has turned out much better than was at
one time expected and the corn crop of
Kansas, in which th? Santa Fe Is most
largely Interested, promises to be Im
mense. The live stock traflle from
Texas and other points on Its lines is
very large and promises to continue so.
Taking the reports as a whole the hard
times for the railroads seems to have
passed for the present and from now on
their earnings will probably show Im
mense gains.

Since Discharged by Alderman Millar
Bertie Hoffman Has Not Boen Seen.
Despite a father's watchful eye and
the terrors of a prison, Grace Bell, the
Laurel Hill chorus girl, and her boy
love, Bertie Hoffman, have departed.
When Alderman Miliar sized up the

aird read from the docket that the
young girl waa charged with abducting
19-year-old Bertie away from home, he
let thetn depart with the advice to go
t'hedr several ways.
Whether or not they took this advice
Is a mystery as yet. Grace went to
Philadelphia on the first train; and as
Bertie was not to be found yesterday
It was generally surmlred 'that he went
thither alto to be kidnapped.
Grace told one of the police officers
that she does not want to have Bertie
bothering about her and would prefer
that he would keep away. She added
that she Is a married woman and has
a husband and' 6-year-old san In St.
