Consul Johnson at Amoy, China, reports to the secretary of state tbo appearance ot plague at that place two weeks earlier than usual this year. Ills statement Is dated May 14. He nays he has refused to permit Chinese steerage passengers to depart for Manila and adds: "The spread of plaguo during the last ten days has been rapid and the fatalities most appalling. It Is my opinion, based on trie most reliable data from native sources, that during the week Just closed there were as many as 100 doaths per day In Anioy and Its suburbs. The same condition of affairs exists In surrounding cities within thirty miles of Amoy." Tbo representative of tbo marine hospital service at Hong Kong aleo reports tho earlier appearance of tho disease in that city and a more rapid spread than usual. He says that several Europeans have been attacked. Salt Rheum 1 f You may call it eczema, tetter or milk crust. But no matter what you call It, this skin disease which comes In patches that burn, Itch, discharge a watery matter, dry and scale, owes Its existence to the presence ot humors in the system.

LOUIS Lonliltns, Farohtu Expiiitiea Btgini U Takt oa DifiniU Shapt. LINES CAST FOR A DIRECTOR GENERAL Howard Elliott' or BurlltiKton Hnll road la Under Consideration Problem I'reaanted by Park Site. ST. LOUIS, July 8. President David R. Francis of tho Louisiana Purchase Exposi tion company returned from the east today and tomorrow will take up tho world's fair Work with the executive aud other committees that will be called to gether. The selection of a director, gen oral has not been mad,c and the appoint ment Is looked forward to with Interest. Wlljlam I. Duchanan, who holds a like position with the Uuffalo exposition,) Is no longer considered, owing to his disinclina tion to engage further in exposition work Corwln II. Spencer ot this city has, It is Bald, also declined to bocome a candidate According to a member of the organization commlttse, Howard Elliott, general man ager ot the Burlington linos In Missouri is bolng favorably considered In that con ncction. Isaac S. Taylor, chief architect of the Louisiana Purchase exposition, received a letter today from John Oirrore, New York architect, accepting the appointment on tho architectural commission. Similar letters have been received from other mem bers ot the commission. Mr. Taylor said today: "A strong commission has been selected and tho members show a determination to enter upon their duties with spirit and enthusiasm. The first meeting of tho com mission will be held tomorrow In tho Planters' hotel. "After tho gathering we can tell better what the fair is going to be like. It wilt represent no man's Idea or eccentricity, but the combined wisdom and experience of the entire board. "The problem presented by the Forest park site differs from any yet encountered in building a world's fair, with the slnglu exception of the Centennial In l'hlladel phla, which was a comparatively small affair. ' "Instead of a level plain, upon which to group the principal buildings about a cen tral court, wo have a rolling and uneveu surface. The grading ot the site down to a common level Is, of course, out ot the question. "Wo must tnko tho ground as It Is and by utilizing its natural advantages world's fair can be created there whose equal for beauty has never been seen. "The task is a difficult one and there aro many things to be taken into consideration One Is the question of perspective. The buildings must look well to tho visitor who stands in the highest part of the park as won as to the ono who stands in tho loweit portion." Frederick W. Ituckstuhl of . Now York, secretary of tho National Association of Sculptors, has been selected as advisor to the commission of architects on matters of sculpture, an indication that he. will later be made director of sculpture of the Louisi ana Purchase exposition.

SOME PROMINENT SPEAKERS ARE HEARD TreiiMircr Nlinw, Hlchnrd Lewi of Denver, Moody' Son nnd Other Stir Convention Delegate vfltU Knthunlnstlu AddreRtfea. CINCINNATI, July 8. Perfect weather today greeted the thousands ot Chrtstlau Endcavortrs who are assembled here In their twentieth annual convention. The registration clerks wore kept busy until late at night registering tho new arrivals. The program na arranged by tho commit tee made today the great day of tho con vention. Meetings were many and en thusiastic. Tho cooler weather seemed to have an Invigorating effect, on the Bndeav orers and the services ot many were gladly accopted on noonday evangelical work which assigned them to small revival meetings on street corners In the tenement and manufacturing districts. The music hall audltoriumo wore In use durlug the morning, noon and evening, the historic walls reverberating alternately to Joyous hosannas of the thousands and words of praise and prayer of tho speakers. The chief topic of Interest at the meet Ing today was the oxtempuraneous talk at tho Central Christian church ot Itev. Q Campboll Morgan ot Baltimore, who Is roc ognlzed among the church workers as the logical successor ot the lato evangelist, Dr. Dwlght L. Moody. The Junior Endeavorers met at the First Lutheran church, where Treasurer William Shaw of Boston was the principal speaker. Hour to Hold the Iloy. William Shaw of Doston spoke of "How to Hold the Roy." He said In part: "Win his friendship In any legitimate way. Don't be forever saying 'Don't!' Do give him something to do. Remember that boys aro hero worshipers, that they admire masterful mcu and women, that letting them have their own way docs not win them, that a firm hand and a warm heart aro absolutely necessary. "Don't be goody, goody. Don't have the hero of all your Illustrations a beautiful, sweet little girl, (live the boy a chance to win, even If ho is homely and rough and a trifle unconventional. Don't be afraid ot a little noise and restlessness; it Is a sign ot lite. Direct It and use It rather than simply try to suppress It. Don't always blame the boy for your lack of ability to Interest him. Don't let him grow- up with the idea that only women ore In terested In religious work. If thn Junior superintendent Is a woman get a man bo foro the society once In a while, but be sure he Is a nun. If after you have done your best you still find that the boys will not come with the little girls then organize a boy3' Junior society with athletic and other features, as well as prayer meeting and bible work. Do something, anything, everything, but hold the boys, for they are the coming men." Afternoon' Largest Meeting. Tho big meeting of the afternoon was held In Auditorium Endeavor, whero George n. Graff of Uoston presided, with Percy S. Foster of Washington, D. C as musical director. Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev; Curtlss of Barclay, Md. Rev. C. Lee Gaul of Philadelphia spoke on "A" Century More of Christian En 'dcavfer Tlcdged"' and George .If. ,NJc of AbcVdeen, Wash., told of "Ofnccrs that Keep Things Moving." Henry H. Marcusson of Chicago, the next speaker, evolved somo "new committee Ideas for tho next centuty" In an open parliamentary session in which many sug gestions were received from thoso In the audience. J. M. Warren or Santa Dnrhara, Cal., turned his topic, "What Arc tho Ele ments of a Strong Socloty," Into a Blmllar open discussion. The mooted question among tho Endeav orers, '"The Honorary Member," "was han dle'd by Rev. W. U Darby of. Klrksvllle, Mo., who recommended that young mem bers be elected to fill offices and that tho older onoa bo relegated to n rear but active seat. ' Dr. Ernest Drown of Cleveland, O., spoke of "Lookout Committees that Look Out." On them, ho eatd, the very life of the organization depends. William R. Moody of Northfleld, Mass., son of tho evangelist, Dwlght L. Moody, expatiated on "Your Tostlraony in tho Meeting," which ho said should always come from tho heart and bo freely given. Edwin S. Shaw of Wnhpeton, N. Di, kept the Endeavorers laughing at his wit while he told of tho "Pastors that Lead." At Auditorium Willi. ton. Tho fair sex predominated In Auditorium Wllllston at the afternoon meeting, Prof. Joseph Lewis of Lexington, Va., having It In charge. F. H. Jacobs of Brooklyn led the chorus and music. The meeting was labeled "Tho Twentieth Century Christian Endeavor Society" and It, too, was largely devoted to an open parliamentary session. President Francis Clark of Boston gave his ideas of "Advanced Stops for tho New Year." "Tho Training of Our Successors" was treated by Miss Margaret Cooke of Water vllle, Me. W. II. Bell of Philadelphia con ducted the open parliament, whllo E. Q. Routzahn of Dayton, O., told "What Can Be Done with Good Literature." Alexander E. Matheson ot Janesvllle, Wis., explained "Social Committees that Are Social," while "Tho Meney Side of It" was discussed In open parliament by John Henry Stauft of Pittsburg, Pa. Fledge In the New Century. Rev. J. Edward Klrble of Charleston, S. C, spoke of "What Our Pledge May Mean In the New Century." He sold: "The Christian Endeavor pledge Is on probation no longer. Pastors and workers havo had time to test Its practicability, We have noted whether It was a barrier or a blessing to the young people. I havj seen young men and young women without Christian stability, timid, scarcely ablo nt flrst to read a verse of scripture, learn to pray and speak Intelligently and it was plainly evident that there was a develop ment ot tho spiritual faculty as well and more of a likeness to Christ. . If we want to produce the most Intelligent type ot ploty that the world has ever seen let' us Insist on fidelity to the requirements of the pledge." "Tho Way to Make Christian Endeavor ers" was, seriously discussed by Rev. R. V. Hunter of Indianapolis. Rev. William H. Pcnhallegon of Decatur, III., spoko on "Graduating Into the Twentieth Coutury Church." Forward Look of Kndrmorer. Rev. R. W. Lewis of Colorado spoke of "The Forward Look of Christian En deavor." He Bald; "Finally winning the world Christ should absorb us as never before. In tho home land and In the foreign fields that great divine arm of salvation must bo revealed. Shall we not resolve that as part of our twentieth century service for Christ and the church wo shall say to the Lord, 'Here am I; send me'? Do not let us lose sight ot the fundamental facts In the propaga tion of Christianity that so far God has generally used saved people through whom to each the unsaved. It la gratifying to note how Urge a part Endeavorers have taken In the churches, witnessing for Christ throughout their minority. Now that we are 'of age' shall we not come to an un derstanding that our united society and all our component societies exist primarily and principally for the purpose of rescuing tho perishing? On all sides sin Is seen mar shaling Its forces, strengthening Itself and fortifying Its territory. Common attacks with ordinary arms will nover defeat the mighty foes of this Inteuso century. The army of flesh can never win tho day. To your tents, oh, Endeavorers of the requisite qulot-hour' arm that God gives and then spring forth Into the battle against the giant forces of darkness. Christ Is our captain general and He leads. God will give us the victory through tho strength of Ills right arm.' Some Incidental Meeting". Tho local district and Btatc ofllcers met during the day and discussed business, as also did the preachers, who held an ex- cluslvo session In Auditorium Endeavor lato in the afternoon. The prison workers conferred In the Cen tral Christian church nnd the mission workers In the Second Presbyterian church. Between f, and 6:30 p. m. President Clark received personally all cndcAvorcrs who havo been members for ten years and longer. The reception took place In tho Odeon, adjoining the musls hall auditorium, and hundreds took the opportunity to meet Dr. Clark. Jacob A. Rlls of New York, the re porter slum reformer, who was to have delivered a talk tonight nt the Lincoln Park Institutional Baptist church on "The Battlo with the Slums," was unable to bo present, owing to Illness. P. O. Berncr'of Buffalo, who was to address the Oerntan Christian Endeavorers, also was unable to come. Itnlly ' Iteranrkaltlr. The rally in Auditorium Endeavor this eventng was In many respects the most re markable of the convention. Tho principal speakers wore Hon. S. B. Capcn of Boston and Rev. Charlas M. Sheldon of Topeka, Kan, Long beforo the hour set for the meeting tho Immense auditorium? with its seating capacity ot over 0,000, was packed and the ushers forced to close and bar the doors In the faces of the clamorous crowd. President Francis. Clark presided and Percy S. Foster ,of Washington led tho great chorus. Mr. Capcn was Introduced amid a vehement demonstration.' He spoko of "The Christian Endeavorcr's Duty In Mu nlclpal Politics." Ho said: "Government In America Is practically shaped In the caucus. For tho Christian man the primary meeting should be as sa cred an appointment as the place of prayer and It the Christian mcu ot the community at almost any election would take the Inter est they might get good men nominated No Christian Endeavorer should ever forget to cast his ballot on the day of election Lot every Endeavorer place first in his thought the morai character of the man for whom he votes. Government In America Is now and has always been by parties and these nro a hecesslty. But a man Is re leased from all obligations If his party fle lects somo candidate of doubtful character. Lot us make our protest at this point by bolting tho ticket. It has seemed to bo for many years that the only way we can save our cities and our nation U to make this work a religious movement of Christian men of every sect, without any distinction whatsoever. This Is but a return to a part of our religion which has beon neglected." Clarenco E. Kberman of Pennsylvania, the nowly elected financial secretary, was In troduced. In view of his resignation as president of -the Pennsylvania union, the Pennsylvania delegates had spread around tho hall a card bearing tho legend: "Penn sylvanla's Joss, United Societies' gain. Wo pledge our hearty support to tho new field secretary. Clnrk Bntliraeen Kliermnn. Tha cardrpcjijksted that the audience. arise and recite- those words. Mr. Eherma.n was taken compittcly by surprise, as was, also President fclajrk',, who embraced 'him, with tears In his eyes, Then" followed tho most profound Incident of the convention. Mr. F. II. Jacobs' of Brooklyn arose from amid, tho aea of faces In the chorus to ting: "Will There Bo Any Stars In Your Crown?" Before he began be .said: "At the conclusion of my hymn I would have dllence, no encore, no demonstration but Jet tho words of the song engrave themselves In your hearts In silence." In stantly the big hall bocame as quiet as a tomb nnd he began. His rich voice alone was heard nnd down among his hearers teari- came to many eyes us there was generated In 5,000 breasts such a boundless sea of enthusiasm that Its dying echoes were only heard as the last of the Endeavorers sought their nightly retreats He llntshed and for a long moment there was silence and then somo enthusiast ap plauded, which wos Instantly taken up, only to be again repressed by tho powerful pres ence of President Clark, who exhorted si lence. Sheldon on Dnlly Paper. Rev. Sheldon was Introduced and was enthusiastically received. Ho spoke of "The Dally Paper of tho Twentieth Con tury." He did not assume, he said, that there were no' good dally papers. Neither did he assume that the presn was hostile to suggestions which simply had for their object the possible bettering of Journalism, but ho did assume that there was a very large and undeveloped field open to the dally press which was not at present culti vated. A marked featuro of the paper should be, he said, prohibition and another fea turo the promlncnco given to tho work done by Christian missionaries. Tho paper should also take very largo account of the social movements of the times. The stand Ing question In Its business and editorial management should be "What Is tho bCBt thing for the best Interests of the city? What will promoto the welfare and happi ness and morality of the entire family?" He asserted that goodness Is news end could be made to be Intensely Interesting news. Another Urge cause that the dally should champion Is the question of tho Sunday that America ought to have. Casn without character, he said, was poverty; and the nation would not have character unless It preserved a Christian Sabbath. Tho commercial Interests of tuls republic he said, wero playing to the tremendous Interests at stake In tho matter ot char acter and moral Rrowth of the people and tho dally paper which acknowledged this fact nnd made it prominent would be the paper that should hold the place of the highest honor among the people who lovo tho republic. He expressed the hope that In somo way the Christian Endeavor organization would be tho means ot establishing such an organ for rlghteousuess In more than one groat city In this country. The possibilities for such journalism, ho said, wore big with Christian ambition. If the Christian young people would unite their efforts they could establish such papers In every large center of population and they would prove to be mighty sources of real power In snaping tne future aesuny or mis re public. Tbo enthusiasm reached Its height aftor the adjournment, when the delegates and thoso present boarded their cars. They took possession and with hymns floating out Into the night air were transported to their homes and domiciles, still singing, still enthusiastic. Dixon on Snlonn Problem. The meeting In the Auditorium Wllllston was also an enormous one, nearly 4,000 at tending. Rev. W, II. McMillan of Alls gheny. Pa., presided, with H. C, Lincoln of Philadelphia a musical director. P, 6 Henson of Chicago, tha first speaker, spoke on "The Power of the Pen." Rev. Frank Dixon of Hartford, Conn,, spoke ot "The Saloon Problem of the Twentieth Century." He said: "Tho principle for which 1 contend Is rational and Just. It Is this: Find out by patient, scientific, Impartial Investigation the burden of taxation and charges cntalltd by tho saloon upon the community and bind that burden upon tbo back ot the saloou, even though it breaks It. If the present license Is too high, If the saloon pays more Into the public treasury than It takes out of tho pockets oi tho sober people of a community tho snloou keeper Is suffering Injustice. Ills tax uught to he reduced, It tho license Is not sufficient to pay tho ex penses which the public now bears through taxation and chnrges let It bo raised to tj.o requisite point. This will have an elevat ing eftoct upon the saloon keeper. He Ing effect greater self-respect by paying his own expenses. "This wilt be the solution ot the problem of the twentieth century city. It will be effective because It avoids the difficulties which havo rendored tempernnce reforms hitherto 30 largely nugatory. It demol ishes the strongholds within which men havo hidden themselves. It will not drive them Into the open, but It will com pel them to part with tho spoils they have wrested from the hands of Industry. This solution will preserve the principle of per sonal liberty nnd give It universal nppllcn tlon. The liberty of the citizen who wlshe.s to Indulge his appetite Is not restricted, but tho liberty of the sober man who does not wish to pay the bill of tho drunkard Is protected. It may seem revolutionary to assert tho rights of the sober, Industrious man, but this man will make himself heard In the twcntloth century." There are 200 delegates at the German Endeavorers' convention In the Zlon Ger man Evangelical church. Among tho speakers today were Anton Ilocsch of St Louis, Prof. W. F. W. Schneider of Bcrea, O., and T. G. Rctzlor of St. Louis. EUROPEAN CROP PROSPECTS Mark I.nne Kxprcna Kind Ku;tlh llarvr.t Short nnd French Crop Uvcrcstliuntcd. LONDON, July 8.

DETROIT, Juiy 8. A meeting of the Na tional Council of Education in Young Men's Christian association hall this forenoon and tho first session ot education In Central Methodist Episcopal church opened tho for tieth nnnual convention of the National Educational association. Tho first session of the general body will not be held until tomorrow afternoon. At the afternoon session Elmer E. Brown of the University of California read a paper on "Educational Progress During the Past Year," Elmer E. Drown of the University of California told of "Educational Progress During the Past Year." Ho said: The characteristic word of progress dur ing tho past year has been expansion. Educational expansion has been the ac companiment of political nnd Industrial ex pansion. The great accumulators of wealth nave been giving largely to educational Institutions. These great benefactions have ralssd anew tho qucNtlnn of liberty or teaching. It Is commonly believed that In the Ross case at Stanford university such liberty of teaching win ubrldged. But It should be remembered in nil piich cases that a university, like other Institutions, must take account of the co-operative uselul ness of Its members, It Is doubtful whether there Is any general or serlni danger threatening real and reasonable academic freedom. The discussion of scientific temperance Instruction hns brought forward the question of freedom of teaching In another form. I'nlversltles are concerning themselves Increasingly with the sclentltlc content of Instruction lu the lower BchoolK, nnd with the preparation of teachers for thoce nrhooln. New educational movements In tho south are closely bound up with political and In dustrial changes. The negro I making IiIn own contribution to the solution of .the problem and the TUHkcgee school has been one of the renters of educational Interest during the year.
