A Temperature of Ninety Degrees Ex-
pccted Until Monday Night.

For the District of Columbia, Eastern
Pennsylvania, New Jersey. Delaware. Mary
land, Virginia and West Virginia. fair;
slightly warmer today and tonight con-
tinued high temperature till Monday; south
westerly winds.
A comparison of the above map with the
one published yesterday shows that the
storm condition has remained stationary in
the Missouri valley. Also that the high
pressure area has moved west from the
Atlantic. Owing to the stagnant condition
of the atmosphere shown by this map the
air has become heated to great heights, and
in consequence the SUMS heat has greater
power to warm the lower air. There is no
prospect of change in this condition of the
weather for three or four days. We may
expect 30 degrees weather till Monday night
and possibly on Tuesday. In contrast to
this heat Montanians are shivering with a
temperature of 40 degrees this morning, an
area of high pressure having moved from
the North Pacific coast to Montana.

American gunboat has come here. The sit
uation is critical. An official on his way
to this city from Ku Cheng was killed
yesterday. There is no American protec-
ton. The American governments neglect
is Infamous. The evidence already OBJ
tanned shows that the massacre at
Hwasang was planned at least week be-
names of the leaders in it, and of some of
the participants. An official of Foo Chow
sent 21O soldiers into that section on the
oath Of July to prevent the Vegetarians
from numbering Chinese. The Vegetarians
thought the missionaries had caused the
troops to be sent, and decided to kill them.
They began Immediately to gather at
through the villages, on the way to the
rendezvous the Vegetarians publicly de-
clared their intention to destroy the
churches and to kill the Christians. The
LEGAL officials knew of this, but they did
nothing to protect or even to warn the
foreigners.
The night before the massacre a native
psstor in the city of Ku Cheng heard that
the Negetarians were going to kill the for
eigners on the morrow. He wrote a letter
of warning to Mr.. Stewart, at Hwasang,
but delayed sending it until daylight The
messenger arrived half an hour too late.

it Is true that the brute met his death
