A HARD-TIMES HOLIDAY.
NOVEL ExPEDIENr OF THE URU-
GUAYAN GOVERNMENT.

The Action Intended to Assist in
Stopping the Run on the Banks
Specie Payment Suspended-Mer-
chants Alsrmsd-Fears That the
People VIII Refuse to Accept Paper
Money.
MoNTEvIDEo, July s.-There is no abate-
ment in the financial crisis here. In order
to stop the run on the banks the govern
ment issued decree making yesterday a
national holiday.
One million, five hundred thousand dol.
lars in gold is on its way here from Buenos
Ayres. and it is hoped that upon its arrival
the financial distress will be relieved.
SPECIE PAYMENT SUSPENDED.
LONDON, July S.-The Times this morn
ing prints dispatch dated Buenos Ayres,
July z, with reference to the financial crisis
IN Uruguay. This states that the Uru-
guayan legislature met In special session Suu-
day TO consider what course it was expedient
to pursue in view of the suspension of specie
payments by national banks. The session,
which was held behind closed doors, was
prolonged until midnight. Finally bill
was passed, which will be promulgated at
once, sanctioning a suspension of specie
payments for six months, and pointing out
the necessity for this action.
MERCHANTS ALARMED.
This has alarmed merchants, and depu-
tatlon waited upon the finance minister
and sought information in regard to the
measure. The minister assured the mer-
chants that the government had no inten-
ton Of resorting to a forced currency.
The government fears that the peo-
pie will not accept the paper cur
rency, but desires to save the national
bank If possible by this intermediatory ex-
pedient. If the present effort to save the
bank, or foreign assistance fails, the bank
will probably be forced to liquidate.

SUNSET COX EULOGIzED.
The Senate Pays Its Tribute to the
Dead.

WASHINGTON, July 8.-Memorial exer-
cises were held In the Senate this afternoon
in respect to the memory of the late Repre-
sentative s. 3. Cox of New York, which
had been made the special order for this
hour to-day, after being several times pre-
Yiously postponed.
Mr.. Hiscock offered resolution declaring
that the Senate had received with profound
sorrow the announcement of the death of
Mr.. Cox, and rendering to his family as
surance of sympathy in its sad bereavement
and he eulogized Mr.. Coxs charming char
acter and accomplishments.
A LIFE FREE FROM STAIN.
Mr.. voorhees, spoke OF Mr.. Cox as one
whose life was free from stain, speck or
blotch-as brave man, mentally, morally
and physically-a man who laughed danger
in the face, and the law of whose being was
liberaIity. He wound up a very brilliant
eulogium with the apostrophe: Associate
and delight of my earlier and later years,
Joy and promise Of every hour spent to-
gether, faithful and beloved friend of life
time-farewell; hail and farewell till we
meet again."
Mr.. Sherman paid mis- tribute to the pri-
vate and public life of Mr.. Cox, and was at
times 80 affected as to be forced to pause
until he mastered his emotion.
Messrs. Vest, Dixon and Evarts also tes-
titled to their sense Of loss for the departed
statesman, and then the resolution was
adopted and as further mark of respect
the Senate adjourned.

MILWAUKEE, July 8.-The features this
morning in Pythian conclave circles were
the grand reception al the exposition build
ing and the opening of the deliberations of
the supreme lodge at Western Turner hall.
The exercises at the Exposition building
were opened by Mayor Peck, who made one
of his characteristic speeches of welcome.
Gov. Heard followed with welcome on
behalf Of the people of Wisconsin. The
speeches of the executives of the city and
state were followed by remarks by Grand
Chancellor Hoskins Of Fond du Lac and
Judge j. p Linton Of Johnstown, Pa.
The parade of the knights started at 4
o'clock this afternoon from the upper end
of Grand avenue, and was an imposing
spectacle. There were about 10000 Knights
in line and the number would have beea
larger but for the heat, which kept many
from marching. The line was an hour an
a half in passing the grand stand.

CHICAGo's HOT WAVE.
Monday the Hottest Day Since July
II 1898

CHICAGO, July s.-Yesterday was the
hottest day of the season-it was more than
that, it was the hottest day in Chicago since
July II, 1888. On that day the Thermometer
went up TO 94s-yesterdaY 90 2-10' was the
hottest. That was at o'clock in the after
noon, and the mercury steadily fell from
that nour At 10 o'clock il was only 79'.
A wind blew from the south all day at from
thirty 60 twenty-five miles an hour. This
weather will probably continue a couple of
days." Sergt. Frankenfield said. There is
n low barometer in the north along the
Canadian border and high barometer in
the Gulf states. The barometer is falling
slightly in the south, 80 that though the
wind be souUherly it will more likely
be from the southeast than from the
southwest, and for that reason
little cooler. The maximum temperature
will probably be somewhere around 90.
There is very little humidity in the
atmosphere. The rain is all up north.
There was trace of rain at North Platte,
n. D., but that was as far south as it came,
l can't promise any rain here right away"
Although yesterday was nearly IL hotter
than any one Of the eight days of hot
weather through which the city has just
passed, comparatively few cases of sun
stroke were reported and no deaths. This
was doubtless due in a great measure to the
dryness OF the atmosphere.

CROPS In THE STATE.
CoRN's CONDITION GENERALLY
REPORTED GOOD.

Hot and Dry Weather, However,
Causes Apprehension for its Safety.
The Cotton Crop Clean, But a Few
Days Late Wheat and Oats Total
Failures.
ATLANTA, GA, July 8.-The agricul-
tursl department to-day furnished the pub
lie printer with proof Of the June crop
report.
The condition of the corn crop Is gener-
ally good. The general average for the state
is "a Is. From many sections of the state
come reports of dry weather. The unusual
hot weather for the past three weeks,
coupled with the dry season, causes appre-
hension for the safety Of the crop.
The general average in the state for the
cotton crop is 93 3-5. The crop is reported
clean generally. but few days late 1t is
too soon to form an opinion or make an
estimate of this crop with any degree Of
accuracy While it has not suffered as has
corn to any appreciable extent, should the
weather continue hot and dry for few
days the damage will be apparent
WHEAT AND OATS A FAILURE.
Wheat and oats are almost total failure.
In many sections no effort was made TO
harvest them.
AS against their loss, however, the de-
partment reports an increased and increas-
ing interest in clover and grass. These are
reported at 96A. The seasons have been
good for properly curing and housing these
important crops.
The reports from correspondents indicate
general good feeling among the farmers,
and that all the crops are in good condition,
though suffering for rain.
VALUE OF COTTON BAGGING.
In connection with the crop report proper
is printed letter from Col. James Barrett,
In which he takes issue with Mr.. Wilson in
regard to the value of cotton bagging. Col.
Barrett contends that the cotton covering
does not enhance the value Of the bale, and
that the cheapest covering to be had is cot
ton stalk fibre, the use of which he recon-
mends In the highest terms as the
ammunition with which TO kill the jute
trust. "Mr. Wilson's argument" he says,
'convinces me that cotton bagging Is un-
feasible and full Of fruitless hopes and at
tended with loss TO the cotton grower"
Commissioner Henderson also publishes q
description of the symptoms of acute and
chronic glanders and tarcy, which will
prove OF especial interest to those sections Of
the state in which the stock has been at
tackled.

visit to Prince Bismarck to-day. Chief
Forester Lange conducted them to the cas-
tie, where Prince Bismarck shook hands
with each one. William Weber expressed
the thanks of the party for the privilege
given them by visiting tho great man to
whom Germany owed her unity. Thous-

his standing at FREDERICKSBURG, and the day
would be pleasant memory they would

PLEASED THE PRINCE
Prince Bismarck expressed his pleasure
at the visit, and said he was surprised to
hear only German names. The Germans in
America, he said, must feel satisfaction
with the unification Of Germany. Formerly
one was Saxon, another was a Prussian,
and another was German, but now each
called himself a German.
GOOD RELATIONS WITH AMERICA.
He had always striven to maintain good
relations with America. In his opinion II
would have been foolish to quarrel over
such small questions as that of Samoa, and
he had, therefore, worked energetically tc
effect an amicable settlement of the mater

The ex-chancellor was in a CHEEKY mood,
and related many interesting anecdotes of
his life. He inquired into the condition oi

and asked for details of to-day's

were RECALLED with choice cigars. Yester-
day the prince had his photograph taken on
horseback, and he promised to give Mr..
Weber one Of the pictures when completed.

LONDON, July 8.-The chairman OF the com

House of Commons to-day submitted a
resolution to the committee abolishing the
standing order prolonging bills from ses-
sion to session. The liberal members of the
committee, who composed the minority,

committee. The majority thereupon passed
the resolution.
The procedure committee of the House
Of Commons, after the liberals had with
drawn, rejected, by vote Of 6 to 5, Mr..
Chamberlain's proposal not to allow a mo-
tion for the suspension Of bills to be debated
with a view of preventing Its being used as
a vehicle for obstruction. Secretary Bal
four, Sir Edward Clarke and Lord Harting-

A Fast Mail Train Narrowly Escapes
a Disastrous Wreck.
CHICAGO, July S.-The fast mail train
from New Orleans over the Illinois Central
railroad, due in this city on its initial trip
at o'clock this morning, ran into an empty
freight car near Monee, H., thirty-fve
miles out Of Chicago. The car was totally
wrecked. The locomotive Of the fast mail,
though badly crippled, did not leave the
track. The mail coach and baggage car
also held the track, the occupants Of the
car sustaining no injuries beyond slight
bruises from contact with the sides of the
car.
A MYSTERY.
How the empty freight car came TO be on
the main track. Immediately in the path of
the fast mail train, is not known. An en-
gine was sent from this city to bring the
disabled train in. Several newspaper men
from New Orleans were aboard. The train
reached this city some hours late. Nobody
was seriously hurt. This is the second acci-
dent which has happened on this division Of

DAvENpoRr's FORCE BILL.

Bear on Her Senators.
WASHINGTON, July S.-Senators Spooner
and Hoar, for whom the republican sena-
tors have been waiting before calling a eau
Gus, got back to-day, and tomorrow the
caucus will probably be called. II the peo-
pie of the south do not want the Johnny
Davenport force bill passed, they should
telegraph their senators at once to that
effect, for, while the republican senators, if
left to themselves entirely, would as a mat
ter of expediency postpone the federal elec-
ton bill until next session, the editorials
of the extreme party organs in favor of
them which Boss Reed and Lieut.. Lodge
predicted.
MAY CAUSE A STAMPEDE.
II no counteracting influence is applied
before the caucus meets the caucus may be
stampeded by Senators Hoar, Chandler,
Sherman and Spooner against the better
Judgment Of its members into adopting a
resolution declaring that the force bill must
be passed on the ground that the north
wants it. The effect of this newspaper
pressure Is all the more striking when it is
remembered that the heat of the
weather disposes the senators
to pass the tariff bill, which
most Of them think must be passed in some
shape and adjourn by the 1st or 18th of
August, for it is still believed that no propo-
sition for an arbitrary closure of debate
will be adopted by the caucus, and that if
the force bill is taken up the democrats will
have to be worn out and congress cannot
adjourn before October.
