Goes Up From All Over the COun-
try, on Account of the
Intense Heat.
Chicago Citizens Sweltered and
Panted--Ambulances Co.
ing All Night.
Fifty Deaths in New York and as
Many More in Other
Cities.

CHICAGO, Aug. IL. - 1t began to
grow uncomfortably warm here at
early dawn, and as the blazing sun
pushed its way up over Lake Michigan,
the intensity of the heat was increased
hour by hour at the rate of geometrical
progression. To make life still more
unbearable, steamy hot wind, as bane-
ful as sirocco from the sands Of Sa-
hara, blew over the city from the
marshes and swamps beyond the south
ern limit. 1t was blighting wind and
men sought to escape from it. 1t was
terrible even on the lake front and in
those quarters of Chicago where wealth
and plenty abound, but in the poverty
stricken tenement districts, the agony
was awful to contemplate. All night
long the miserable wretches
Sweltered and Painted TN Vain
for breath of refreshing air. They
slept, or tried to sleep, by thousands on
the sidewalks and on the paving stones,
while the steamy vapOrs rose from the
garbage heaps spreading death and dis
ease The city ambulances and patrol
wagons from the police stations were
kept on the run all night long, bearing
victims of the heat to the hospitals. In
the morning men walked through the
streets without coat and vest and painted
and sweat and suffered for want Of
fresh, cooling air.
Prostrations from heat began to be
reported as early as o'clock. Animals
overcome by the heat lay dead in almost
every ward in town. They were so
numerous that the garbage men could
not keep the streets clear of them.
The first death from heat reported
from the police was that of Fred Ret
ter, a laborer, at 955 Seminary avenue.
He died at Z :55 o'clock. The coroner's g
Office was buster than it has been in
years. There were not enough deputies
to do the work. All of Sundays heat
victims, and part Of those who sue
cumbed Saturday were on the books
awaiting inquests. In order to get
through with the work, the coroner sent
out notice that in all cases Of death
from excessive heat. physicians certifi.
Gates could take the place Of inquests.
The coroner said that in any case OF
sunstroke, where the facts were plain,
certificates of doctors would be suffi.
cient to dispense with inquests.
\ Herman Ash Of 1895 Wood street, and
Thomas Wonabom of IS West Lake
street, were reported at the coroner's
Office as having died of heat during the
night. -

Hottest Ever Experienc ed.

KANSAS CITY, Kan, Aug. 1.-The
eighth day of the Kansas City hot spell
opened with no prospect of relief. The
outlook, in fact, is for the hottest, most
intolerable weather that the Gate City
Of the West has ever experienced. But
little air was stirring, and the sun, if
possible, beat down upon the earth with
even more intensity than it had hereto
fore. Street thermometers at 3 80 aver
aged about 80 degrees, and the mark
was gradually being over-stcpped.

TROOPS READY TO FIGHT
Venezuelan Enlistments Have Now

English Railway Manager Flatiy Re-
fused the Order of the Govern
ment TO Start Trains.
lRy cahle to The Times.l

Caracas, TeneZneIa, Feb. 2.-The man
agcr Oi the English railway between Bar
celona and Quinta refuses to obey the Or
der OF the government as 20 the resumption
OF passenger train service, which was
stopped under the excuse that the bHsincss
did not warrant such service.
The refusal of the manager is tempered
by the staetment that he cannot act without
direct orders from the London office. The
company will be fined $500 Tor each days
failure TO run trains as ordered. The Off
cials say that the company has violated the
terms OF It's contract and grant in many
respects.
One OF the conditions of the concession
was that the company should take out or
the mines in its territory thirty Thousand
tons OF coal. IT has only taken out three
hundred tons, the government declares
The authorities also allege that great
trouble is caused in the cities OF Venezuela
by the stoppage OF the trains.
An appropriate artillery saIHte tOda J
announced the return of President Crespo

The government has as yet done moth
ing further in relation to the mobilization
of the militia, the last day for the enlist
| ment of which occurred yesterday. The
official estimate is that more than zoo, 600
| names are on the rolls of the republic.
There has been no distribution or arms,
no formation or regiments and no drills.
The people believe that the government
Will proceed no further unless war should
be declared.
1t is alleged that the government fears
the massiDs of so many men under arms
unless as a measure of last resort.
1t is likely that a large purchase OF

Chicago, Feb 2.-William F. Harrity,
chairman Of the Democratic National Com
mittee, in an interview ON the political
outlook, Says:
Il am not The mos; sanguine person in the

members of our party have taken too
dismal view Of the conditions. Political
situations have changed, are changing all
the time, and Wi! change again.
I'VE are yet long way from election
day, Our situation might lie better, but
ii is not without hope. The financial ques-
ton Will be the leading issue of the coming
campaign, in my opinion. There is no
doubt the Republicans will try TO push the
tariff TO the front as the main issue, but

There are some people, you know, who
are wicked enough to think the Repub-

party Will do il another matter.
democrats are opposed To the free
silver doctrine, but there is very compact
and very able and very earnest and very
energetic minority in favor OF that PROPOSE
tion. The national administration is
blamed for condition in the national
finances which came to it as a legac,
from its predecessor in power.
The people are already finding that out

Stranded Liner Attracted Train
loads Of Sunday Visitors.
Great Ship VIII Probably BE FIoated
Today or Tomorrow, Say the
Weather bureau Officials.

Long Branch, n. j., Feb. 2-This famous
seaside resort in its palmiest days never
saw larger crowds than those which have
visited the Branch since the American
Line steamer st. Paul has been aground
opposite the Grand View Hotel.
A conservative estimate of today's
visitors places the number at $4,000. The
Pennsylvania Railroad ran eight excursion
trains from Philadelphia, but these could
not accommodate the people who wanted TO
see the stranded steamer.
Among the sight -seers were hundreds Of
the employees of Cramps shipyarCts, where
the st. Paul was built. The chief engineer
OF the yards was one of the number.
Two special trains were run from New
York, and the trolley cars from Asbury
Park brought thousands of passengers
Farmers drove in from the country livery
men had all their rigsOut, and bicycle riders

did not expect such a gathering, and, as q
result, the Recommendations were exceed
ingly poor. Restaurants ran out OF edibles
before 1 O'Clock, and were compelled to
turn thousands away hungry.
The wind was strong from the northwest
all day, and between 10 and II O'Clock
in the morning il tregisteFedforty- eight miles
an hour at the local weather bureau.
In the afternoon ii fell TO twenty four
miles, and when the sun set ii became very
faint. The result of the northwest wind
was an extremely low tide: lower i'll fact
than at any other time since the liner
stranded. a O'Clock this afternoon when
the tide was at its lowest, there was not
over five feet OF water on the bar. Six.
teen feet Of the red water line OF the st.
Paul showed, indicating that the steamer
was in the sand and clay TO the Gepth OF at
least six feet. The two screws were out
OF water nearly all day.
There was no attempt made TO float the
vessel during the day omaccount Of the low
tide.
When the ship was moved at high water
last evening, Frederick Reilly, who has
charge of the eiephone ON board. was com
PEELED TO play out on the wire TO prevent
Ii from swapping in two. He estimated
that the steamer moved twenty feet.
Today, Displayman Martin, who has daily
weather reports from Washington. received
the following message from W. L. Moore,
chief of the United States Weather Bureau
al Washington:
Winds probably shift to northeasterly
by or before Monday evening, increasing
TO much force. Notify stranded steamer

furnished Captains Jarnison, Merritt and

Tonight the barometer Is falling, an evi

way. Mr.. Martin. who is somewhat OF a
weather sharp, said t0nigh6 that in his
opinion the st. paul will be floated tomor
