BERLIN. July 2S.-The heat through
out Germany has been intense, and
much suffering and many sunstrokes
have been the result. Outdoor work has
often been suspended. and complete
lethargy prevails i'll this city today.
Every one whe was able to do SO has
left town, and those who remain are
sweltering in the torrid atmosphere.
This hot wave is another fultillment of
Fables prophecies, and he predicts that
the warm weather Will last for another
fortnight, after which there will be
much rain. The German newspapers,
IN commenting upon the Corean
crisis. note the reserved attitude of
France in the fact that she would wei
come anything likely to embarrass
China. This is regarded as being due
TO the cars influence. and woald seem
to indicate that Russia does not desire
10 interfere between China and Japan
unless she is forced TO GO so. Refer
ence IS also made TO the long-dislance
japanese rider, who rode a year ago
from Berlin right across European and
ASiatic Russia to NladivoStock, visiting
all the important military stations
along the route. F!e was former mil
itary attache, and consequently met
with friendly reception everywhere.
THE BEER BOYCOTT.
Forty Socialist meetings were held
yesterday evening for the promotion of
the beer boycott But only twenty-five
small halls or rooms could be obtained
for the use OF the Doycotters. The
landlords of the larger halls had COM
bined to thwart the boycott, and they
subscribed to a fund TO compensate the
owners of halls for their losses. Every
thing passed off quietly, except in one
instance. when some disorder was oc-
casiOned by an anarchist. Identical
resolutions were adopted at all the meet
ings, promising continued support of
the boycott. The LeipSic university
clubs are setting a laudabie example.
They have decided TO drop the ancient
academical custom of morning beer
drinking commers. OF the ground that it
interfereS with work. The newspapers
comment iayorably upon this decision,
and express the hope that the action of
the Leipsic clubs will be initiated by
those of the other universities.
