CHICAGO, July 10.—The fierce heat
under which the greater portion of the
country has sweltered since the first of
July moderated In many localities today
and predictions from' the weather bureau
at Washington, indicate that lower tem
perature will bring general relief with
in twenty-four hours. The records of
protratlons and deaths resulting from
the long heated term approaches in mag
nitude that of a general epidemic. Re
ports from all sections of the country
received by the Associated Press this
evening show that protratlons number
In the neighborhood of 2000, with
fatalities close to 350. In addition to this
there were scores of deaths! resulting
indirectly from the intolerable heat,
the death rate in many of the large
cities showing a fearful increase over
previous years. The central states suf
fered more severely than other sections,
the heat being most deadly In Chicago,
Cincinnati and St. Louis. In the num
ber of fatalities this city heads the list
with 87 deaths, Cincinnati and subur
ban points reporting 65 and St. Louis
42. Throughout the south the heat was
intense, but the death rate was much
lower than in the north.
Eighty-seven people have died from
the effeots of the heat since July 1. In
addition six have drowned while bath
ing' to escape the sizzling rays of the
sun, six have been driven insane and a
large number have committed suleide,
while 347 prostrations, more or less seri
ous, have occurred. The health depart
ment shows a great Increase In mortality
in children and sufferers from chronic
diseases. The average number of deaths
for the past three or four days has al
most doubled.
Late this afternoon the excessive heat
was broken by a smart thunder shower.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.—This Has
been one of the most eventful days of
the Christian Endeavor convention, for
its varied incidents have demonstrated
to the delegates from far and near that
the people of San Francisco are sincere
in their welcome and that this Is not a>
godless city. This fact wan strikingly
emphasized at the great open air meet
ings held on Van Ness avenue at noon.
For many blocks tihe wide boulevard 1 was :
thronged and the impassioned address
es of men earnest in their faith were re
ceived with marked attention and ap
proval. It was a. matter of civic pride,
not of creed, for nowhere was the ap
plause more generous than at the great
gathering under the shadow of ths
splendid Roman Cathollic churdh of St.
Ignatius.
These assemblies, under a cloudless
sky on one of the finest days of a Cali
fornia year, were even more enthusias
tic than was expected, even by General
Secretary Baer, through whose sugges
tion they were held.
The topic of the c arty morning jjrayer
meetings was "Committee Work Ser
vice." All the churohes were filled. Ths
services were led by the following men,
all prominent In the Christian Endeavor
movement: F. T. Vincent, Seneca, Kaa.;,
W. H. Rice, New, Dorp, L.. r.;,H.JS, Can
tel, New York; Walter M. Jordan, Deer
Lodge, Mont.; F. D. Stackhouse, Denver,
Col.; D. S. Kelley, Emporia, Kaß.; Geo.
K. Burns, Philadelphia; William Staves,
India; J. V. Mulligan, Boise City, Idaho.
The subject of the daily hour for Bible
study was "Philllppians—A Message, of
Joy in the Midst of. Adversity.'' It wai
conducted in a fervent manner by Rev.
Dr. Herbert L. Wlllett of Chicago.
ALL IN EARNEST.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.—All tha
Christian Endeavorers now assembled
within our gates are here for a purpose,
and that purpose ie not one of recreation
and pleasure. That all the assembled
Endeavorers take a deep andi pensive
Interest in the proceedings of the con
vention Is manifested by the attendance
at the daily sessions in the big con
vention halls. With them all Is en
thusiasm. Never has San Francisco been
called upon to entertain such a throngof
people as has gathered together for the
1897 convention. There have been reviv
al meetings and religious gatherings and
all sorts of conventions, and there have
been some pretty big political gather
ings in San Francisco, but the Chris
tian Endeavor convention is a revela
tion.
Profiting by their experience at the
previous sessions of the big convention,
whan they came too late to get'within
hailing distance of the Mechanics and
Woodward's pavilions, many Endeavor
ers were up with the coming of day
break, determined to be among the foT
tunate ones In securing seats. All tha
roads seemed to lead to the headquar
ters at Mechanics' Pavilion. By 8 o'clock
they came pouring in from the east,
west, north and south, on foot and In
street cars, until the broad entrances to
the big frame structures were congested
with humanity. The weather was quite
cool —Just cool enough to bring back tha
color which had 1 temporarily been driven
from the cheeks of thousands of pretty
young women by the hardships of a
transcontinental journey. Nine o'clock
saw all the 9000 seats filledi, while sev
eral thousand persons formed a fringe
of humanity about the outer edges and
packed the aisles, until the police and
fire departments cried "Enough" and
barred the doors to further arrivals.
The song service was first on the pro
gram. The vast throng joined' in the
stirring Endeavor hymns with delight
ful effect and with a volume of sound
that carried 1 their voices to the crowds
in the streets, many of whom joined
in the songs of praise. In spite of the
fact that the committee hadi arranged
the most aUractlve programs for the
meetings at Woodward's Pavilion in
order to draw as many people as possible
to that hall, the crowd seems to gravi
tate towards the headquarters at Me
chanics' Pavilion, with the result that
thousands are turned away at every
session. The latter hall has been made
so attractive with decorations and
booths, conducted by hundreds of hand
some young women, something after the
fashion of a charity bazaar, tnat all
want to enjoy the privilege of seeing and
hearing all that Is to be seen and heard.
Notwithstanding the size of the vast
assemblage, the arrangements at the
pavilion are all that the most exacting
could' wish, and all that has been done
for the comfort of the visiting legions
reflects credit upon those who have
given their time and attention to the
great work.
The committees that have had a hand!
in the arrangements of the great Inter-
national gatherings are now receiving
the praise and commendation of 20,000
delighted visitors from every State in
the Union and' from nearly every alien
land where the influence of Christian
Endeavor is felt.
No definite figures have been given out
today as to the total registration, but it
is understood that something over 22,
---000 have appended their names to the
roll of attending delegates. Nineteen
more trains yet to come is the latest anJ
nounoement by Secretary Baer, and the
last oX these will probably not arrive
