The Heat in New York.

NEW YORK, July 19.-While the heat still
continues, it Is somewhat tempered by the
breeze that has blown all day. The opinions
of citizens varied widely In regard to the heat
wave, being in accordance with their Individual
feelings. Some contehded that 1t was not so
hot as 1t was yesterday, while others were OF
the opinion that the heat was just as intense.
The weather was the universal topic OF con-
versatiCn, and very few were found who did
not coincide in the opinion that the heat wave
was having it's effect. The streets in the lower
part Of the city presented deserted appear
ance; especially was this noted on Park Row
and Broadway. The only vehicles seen were
drays for the conveyance OF such merchandise
as it was absolutely necessary to get to the
steamers and cars, and the horse cars, which
were also deserted.
Judging from the vacant condition Of the
streets, one would imagine that it was semi
holiday. The steamers leaving for seaside
resorts near the city were crowded to excess,
and it was asserted that 1000 people left the
city between IL N. and D. M, while hun
dreds ana thousands had to remain and bear
the brunt of the burning sun.
The thermometer to-day was over yester-
day by an increase Of about 30, and in the
composing room of the Express, at 2 :15 p. m.,
registered 1909, with all the windows on both
sides of the building Open At Hudnutt's
Herald building, at 8 o'clock the thermometer
marked $50, and at o'clock $40, or % higher
than yesterday, and the mercury was steadily
advancing. At II m. 1t had reached $50, and
at 8 80 had fallen to go.

THE VALUE OFF CYPRUS.
The Advantages that Island offers Great
Britain.
london Spectator.l

Situated just on the coast Of Syria, COM
manding the seaway to the Gulf OF Scande-
room and the mouth Of the Orontes, and, there
fore, the Mediterranean entrance to the VAL
ley of the Euphrates, Cyprus, with its deep
harbors, offers singular advantages to a
power interested In India, but unable for the
moment to secure possession OF its natural
gateway, the Valley of the Nile. 1t would be
impossible, If England were once seated
there for any power to attack Egypt
or Syria by sea without her full con-
sent, while the island itself, as o. pos
session, offers some singular advantages. 1t
is probably the one place in the world which
could be easily turned into q stOrehouse OF
timber tor the national dockyards. Much Of
its mountain ranges are already clothed with
forests, which belong, we believe, to the State;
the oak grows in profusion, and the cedar OF
Lebanon would be in home where it would
need no acclimatization. The forests could
be protected by the State with any needful
care, without interfering with the people, who
have been reduced by oppression and mis-
government to 100000, perhaps a twelfth OF
their proper number, and VINO 1or years 70
come would be employed In re-peopling and
resubduing the beautiful valleys, where every
cereal and every known fruit will reach per-
fection The tobacco plant and the apple will
grow in Cyprus almost side by side. With q
| little care and energy in the formation Of
tanks, on the South India plan. to be formed
| by the torrents which now waste themselves
down the hills, Cyprus would have all the
natural advantages OF Jamaica, better eli
mate, and population now degraded indeed,
but once among the most Industrious and en-
| terprising in the world. Within ten years, In
Anglo-Indian hands, the island would pay all
expenses, provide much OF the wood needed
| for the dockyards, and be in a fair way to-
ward that prosperity which to be full must
wait for the recovery Of the population,
now depressed by misgovernment, bebased
by want of freedom, and declining in
number through want Of the means Of sub
sistence. 1t Is useles TO be Industrious when
If man prospers, his prosperity enriches a
pasha; but under British rule, Cyprus would
supply half the cities Of Eastern Europe with
cut marbles, fine tobacco, fruit and the
liqueurs for which the sweet grapes Of the
island, now used to make abominable wine
are so well suited. The island might be q
splendid garden, thrice the size OF Suffolk
and from the extraordinary variety of it's
climates sanitariam for the wealthy inva
lids of Europe, even If we could not succeed
in the very interesting experiment it In

Th0mpsOn's Cruise-PropOsed New Naval
&chNOl.

NEWPORT, July 19.-The steamer Talla-

day, and as she steamed into the harbor q
the Navy, from Goat Island, where the tor
pedo station is located. In the afternoon
Capt Breese placed the United States steamer
Nina at the disposal of Gov.Van Zandt for the
purpose of showing Secretary Thompson
Gould and Prudence islands, located near this
place, with the view of rendering one of them
to the government, on behalf of the State, for
the establishment Of a naval school, the Gov
ernoT being one Of a committee of three to
make the purchase. No charge will be made
fOT the iisLIiti % Ii the tintnn Of the Legisla-
ture the State would be amply compensated
by locating such an institution within her
borders. The Secretary is very much pleased
with Prudence Island in every particular, and
expressed the opinion that better site could
not be selected. 1t is probable that the State
will vote the necessary money and give @
deed of the property for the purpose in
tended.

Another Uprising of Heirs to the Famous
Jennings Estate.

NEW YORK, July 19.-The World says the
heirs OF the Jennings estate in New England
have resolved to raise $4,000 10 send over to
the old country o lawyer, who will secure
for them the estate of $4,000, 800 on the very
reasonable terms Of Q per cent ommission.
These are probably the same heirs that met
at Bridgeport In January last.
There was an uprising OF another set Of
heirs in Virginia not long ago. They valued
the estate at $400, 600 ,000 it having increased
to that value from sl5,oO0,0O0, It's original
amount when Jennings died in Virginia 100
years ago Precisely how many lawyers
have made living by encouraging folks in
the belief that an estate Of from $50, 900, 900 to
$4OO, 100000 Is awaiting claimants there Is no
method OF discovering, nor is 1t very clear
when and by whom the story was originally
put afiOat.
In August, 1861, W. W Whiddet, of New
burg, advertised for heirs 10 the Jennings es-
tate. There was another furry in 1876, and
now there is renewal of the excitement.
Quite likely the crack of doom will surprise
several conventions of these patient and long
hoping heirs in session raising the $4,000,
which are always necessary to enable them to
enter into possession Of wealth beside which
the wealth of the Rothsehilds fades into con-

The results derived from the system fully
attest the wisdom of the measure. All col

fiscal year ending June 3d. and the condition
Of each found to be almost perfect. The man
agement of the Internal Revenue Bureau is
considered to be in far better condition than
under any previous administration, as Is fully
proven by the large collections made, system

as q general thing to respect the law, and

THE BERLIN TREATY.
THE PROTOCOL SUBMITTED TO THE
FRENCH CABINET.

M. WaddingtOn Urges Its Merits-PrO-

and EngIand-Demands of Greece Un-
reasonable.
PARIS. July 19.-It is understood that at the
Cabinet meeting yesterday M. Waddington
laid before his colleagues not only the protO-
coils Of the treaty Of Berlin, but the drafts Of
certain conversations between Earl Beacons-
field Lord Salisbury and himself, respecting
the security of the interests of France in the
Ievant, Syria and Egypt which conversa-
tions, he said, would form the basis OF con-
yention between France and England, II
France desired 1t.
M. Waddington is said to have pointed out
ut some length the merits Of the Berlin treaty,
insisting that it was to the advantage of
France and to the promotion Of the peace OF
Europe that Turkey should remain great
power.
He said that the demands Of the Greeks
were unreasonable; that 1t was very doubtful
whether the government of Athens could pre-.
serve good order in the provinces. It would
be well for the powers to address note to the
Porte, urging haste In the measures necessary
for effectfng an understanding with the Greek
government.

DoubIe standard 1n ,yapau,

WASHINGTON, July t9.-Tnformation has
been received at the Treasury Department,
through the Department of State, that the
Japanese trade dollar of 420 grains, flneness
$40. has been made legal tender throughout
Japan, and the charge IOT UOuII1 tfio stiff E st
the Imperial mint has been reduced from 1Ig
to / per cent. This establishes the double or
bi-metallic standard in the Japanese Empire,
on the relative valuation of 16 2S-1O0 to 1. The
tendency of this will as long as the price OF
silver remains below So pence, be to increase
the circulation of silver to the exclusion OF
gold. It will also open a new market for the
silver produced on the Pacific coast.

Challenged by Gen. Eppa HuntOn,
of Virginia.
WASHINGTON, July 19-The latest sensa-
tion in Virginia politics, In which this district
also owns share, is the unpleasantness be-
tween Gen. Eppa Hunton and Columbus Al
exander, Esq, Of this city. The controversy
has gradually waxed in warmth until 1t has
been brought to termination on the part OF
one Of the gentlemen. In other words, Gen:
Hunton has, In very plain terms. challenged
Mr.. Alexander to settle the matter In the old
fashioned style, presumably at ten PAGES. To
this Mr.. Alexander has publicly replied.
The events bringing about this state OF
affairs can be briefly summed up as follows
Last week Gen. HuntOn was reported IN the
papers to have said in speech in Alexandria,
before the primary election, that he advo-
Gated the passage Of the bill providing for the
regulation of assessments under the old
board Of public works, and that ne did so at
the request of Columbus Alexander, Hon. L,
B. Bryan, Judge Wylie and other prominent
citizens.
The following day Mr.. Alexander author.
lied public denial of these statements. Il
is impossible to tell what the final result
wills be. The people generally sympathize
with Gen, Hunton, for the reason, among
Others that Mr.. Alexander has always been
extremely meddlesome in district affairs rs-tc
an extent not warranted by his property or
other interests-and now attacks Gen. Hun
ton because he could not use him to further
his peculiar ideas in Congress-.
