fORRlD WAVE COLLAPSES
Real Spring Weather Is Promised
for This Section.
Unprecedented April Heated Term Il
Over for the Present Accord
ing to the Prophets.

The cool and calm temperature which set
in after the showers of yesterday after
noon were a preverification of the later
bulletins of the Weather Bureau, that the
back bone OF the recent spring-summer
weather had been broken.
The course OF the very uncomfortable
temperature, abnormal for April, was a
wave which they have called euphemiStic-
ally warm wave, but which was to all
intents, purposes and effects a torrid wave.
This wave originated in the Missouri
valley on Thursday last, when the tempera-
ture rose TO 20 degrees above the ayera ge
fur April weather. I advanced east rap
idly and made things decidedly unpleasant
iii this vicinity.
In the special bulletin OF the Bureau issued
last night it was stated that the heated
term was broken in the Ohio valley, lake
region, New England and New York. In
New York and Pennsylvania the tempera-
ture fell from ten to thirty degrees within
the thirty-siX hours ending at O'Clock
last night
There will be falling temperature today
and probably some showers. The bulletin
gives this interesting information:
The following are the highest temperatures
ever recorded by the Weather Bureau dur
Ing the past twenty five years for the second
ten da Us in Al pril, ranging from three to ten
degrees higher than any previously recorded
for this period: Portland, Me-, rs; Nan

NEGROES ATTACKED HIM.
Ex-Officer and One of Bis Assa lila nts
Killed at Jacksonville.

Jacksonville, Fla, April I9.-As the re-
suit OF a battle OIL street car about !
O'Clock this morning, ex-PoIiceman Jonas
and viii Hampton are dying and several
others are suffering from wounds more
or less serious.
When Jonas was on the police force he
incurred the enmity of the negroes by the
rough manner in which he treated them,
and since the officer was removed from
the force the negroes have repeatedly
threatenedto do him. When Jonas boarded
the street car he found it full of negroes,
among them being VIII Hampton, who had
a grudge against the eX-officer. Hampton
began cursing Jonas, and free fight fol-
lowed, the negroes attacking the white
man..
Hampton used pistol and Jonas knife.
The white man slashed with the knife,
cutting Hampton's throat and wounding
several others. Jones finally put the
negroes 10 flight, but not before he had re-
ceived a bullet IN the head and was beaten
almost to Jelly. All the negroes have
been arrested. Jonas and Hampton will
die. II is believed the attack on Jonas
was premeditated.

n Man with n Pistol

Oakland, Cal, pril ia crank with
revolver created a stampede in the First
Unitarian Church here this morning. Pro
fesSor Griggs, of Stanford University, who
filled the pulpit In the absence of the pastor,
was about TO open service when a roughly
dressed young man walked up the aisle
and halting in front of the pulpit platform,
drew a pistol and announced his intention
of being heard.
In IA loud voice he denounced religion as
a humbug, stating that he could prove upon
the authority of Prof. Leconte, President
Jordan. OF Standford, andother distinguished
scientists, that man descended from the
lower animals. Col. John z. Irish came
forward to reason with the intruder but the
stranger leveled the revolver at the colonel
who stood his ground and dared him to
approach.
While Mr.. Irish was endeavoring to calm
the crank, two members of the congregation
slipped up behind him and pinioned his arms
before he could do anything. Meantime half
of the congregation had made their exit in
terror, while Prof. Griggs fled by rear
door. The stranger was taken to the police
station, where he gave the name Of Lewis
Borges, of Portland, Ore. he is regarded as
a harmless lunatic.

The call says: 1T is earnestly desired
that all parts OF the country should be fully
represented al this conference, and in order
that this may be assured, a similar invita-
ton has been sent to representative men,
irrespective OF party or creed in every
State and Territory In the union-the COM
bined membership OF the two houses of
Congress being taken as a general basis
of numbers and apportionment. In confin-
ing the preseH movement to the promotion
OF arbitration between the United States
and u real Britain, we are not meoncerned
for The wider application OF the principle
involved. But, taking into consideration
the impo rtance and the value OF practical
results, it has seemed wise to concentrate
our immediate efforts upon the attainment
OF permanent system between the two

Hewitt stood on peculiarly uuassailable
ground, and was invulnerable to the at
tacks of those who denounced every adj
vocate Of peace. The mayor lost re-
election because he ordered that the Irish
flag should not be displayed on the city
hall on st. Patricks Day. Replying to
the charge that the Irish citizens are A Ameri-
cans, Mr.. Hewitt said: lone nation, one
flag" He has been one ofsthe heartiest
promote of this conference. The
presence of Major-General Miles in the
conference will lend a peculiar interest
to the occasion. The general has been
known as a Fighter" all through his
military career, but he recently made
declaration In which he took strong
ground for peace. Much weight will
be given to the delibe rations of this i'm
portant congress, by the appearance of
the Hon. John w. Foster, who succeeded
James G.. Blaine, as Secretary of State,
in 1892. Mr.. Foster is the latest arbi-
tration agent of the United States to
visit foreign lands. He was sent to
the Orient during the Chinese ia panese
war, as an agent of the State Depart
ment, to seek to effect q cessation of hos
tilities He was well received in both
countries, and his wise course has added
much to the prestige Of American dip.o-
macy in the far East. 1t is expected
that he will make an address dealing with
arbitration from the standpoint of prac-
teal diplomacy Mr.. Foster has the repu
tation of having one OF the keenest, acute
pens that ever drafted papers in the State
Department. His contributions TO the
discussions of the conference will, there
fore, have considerable value.

Berlin, April 19.-Prof. Gutenberg, the

such rapidity as in the case of the infant
son of DR.. Langerhaus, the medical di-
rector of the Moabit Hospital, who died
two weeks ago from the effects OF a

Gutenberg thinks that Dr.. Langcrhaus was
