St. Louis, Aug. Io.--This has been an
other day of sitting heat, during which
funeral parties passed in a continuous
stream over the cemetery thorough
fares. The sky was without a cloud,
and the occasional gusts of south wind
swept over the city in furnace-like
waves of heat. The degrees of temper
ature registered by thermometers bear
no relation to the suffering entailed, as
the long siege has left thousands help
less to Withstand even moderate de-
gree of heat. Analysis of death certifi-
Gates today and yesterday show that
over half were stricken four or five days
ago. From last midnight to 9 p. M, ff-
teen deaths were reported in the city
limits. The suburban towns are in a
like situation. The prostrations are so
numerous that only those treated at the
city dispensary and hospitals are re-
corded. These number thirty four to-
day.
Chicago, Aug. Io.-Continued heat OF
the most dangerous kind made another
death roll today larger than its Prede-
cessors of the present spell, and no hope
is extended by the weather forecaster
of a cooler day tomorrow. Of the
deaths reported to the health and police
departments and the cases taken to the
county hospital, forty-three are report
ed as having died, directly or indirectly
from the heat.
Among the serious cases of the scores
who were prostroted but still live is that
of Very Rev. Prior Aughan of London,
brother of the English cardinal, who
arrived in Chicago this morning on his
way east around the world, by advice
of his physician, because of droPsical
disease. The aged prelate suffered much
from the heat during the journey from
San Francisco and his cor dition was so
serious upon arrival here that the party
went to the Auditorium annex immedi-
ately. His secretary said he was fearful
of the result.
The temperament kept at So and
above from O'Clock this morning, and
at p. IN. began climbing into the COS,
reaching "a late in the afternoon. The
night brought no relief to suffering
humanity and in places on the west side
where poverty and death link hands
there was barely life in the burning,
fetid atmosphere.
The number of dead animals reported
on the streets and alleys last night was
633, the largest record for any week in
the history of the city. tbs estimated
that over 1000 carcasses are lying in the
thoroughfares because the facilities for
removal are insufficient. Half a thous-
and complaints of this fact were received
at the city hall today. The postofice
cut off two deliveries and two collec-
tons today on account of heat.

A Practical Joker.

Washington, Aug. II.-Some con-
sternation has been created at the treas
ury department through the discovery
that in some unexplained manner, the
bureau officers had been guilty of cir.
culating some of Senator Stewards sill
yer speech.
To answer comprehensively all the
many questions relative to the currency
question that has been pouring in, Sec
rotary Carlisle some time ago caused to
prepare circular No. II3, a pamphlet of
s. printed pages, giving information re-
specting bond issues, paper currency
and the like. When application for in
formation was received the answer to
which could be found in this pamphlet,
the bureau chief receiving the letter
would simply mail one of these circu-
lars to the applicant in place of writing
out an answer. This has been going on
for at least a week and there is no tell
ing how many circulars were sent out
when letter came to hand from one of
the recipients, calling attention TO the
fact that the department had sent him
in answer 70 his question, copy of
strong silver speech delivered by Sena-
tor Stewart in the senate September )
last, when a filibuster was going on. An
examination of the piles of circulars ly-
ing in the department showed that in
some way the public printing Office had
bound up in the cover purporting to
state the contents of the pamphlet, a
number of the silver speeches. The
officials say they have found only sew
enteen of the speeches so far, but there
is no means of learning just how many
of them have been sent out under the
guise of financial statistics.

SIMON RATEN.
No Likelihood That He Will Ever
Again be Tried.

Yesterday was the date set for the
retrial of Simon Raten for the murder OF
the two Japanese near Calf, provided
his mental condition was such as TO
warrant it.
When Judge Hinkson's court was
opened yesterday the Judge called up
the matter by stating that he had re-
ceived a letter from the Superintendent
of the Stockton Insane Asylum in re-
sponse to letter of inquiry by himself
regarding Raten's condition. The Su-
perintendent's letter stated that soon
after Raten arrived at the asylum he
suffered an attack of pneumonia, but
had recovered from that.
His mental condition had not i'm
proved He constantly refers to some
money that he claims is due him, and
speaks of the killing of the two Jap
anese in connection Herewith. He de-
clares he is not afraid to die but insists
that certain moneys due him be paid.
The letter concludes with the statement
that Raten is undoubtedly insane
Judge Hinkson then quoted from the
provisions of the code relating to the
trial of persons found to be insane, and
said that it appearing from the report
OF the superintendent of the Stockton
Asylum that the defendant will not be
IN a condition for trial, he would order
the jury discharged.
This was done, and then, on the re-
quest of Hiram w. Johnson and J. w
hughes. they were released as attorneys
for Raten
Both the court and District Attorney
expressed the belief that the prospect of
Raten being again tried is very remote.

l.. L. Callendine has taken the bit in

Electric Company's Office last December.
1t was supposed from certain things
that had transpired during the last few
days that he would plead guilty to-day
When his case was called for trial in
Judge Hinkson's court, and in anticipa-
ton of some interesting, if not exciting
proceedings, there had assembled
crowd of spectators that taxed the
courtroom to its utmost to hold them
But the crowd was doomed to disap-

WANTS some INFORMATION.
Governor Budd Asks Questions About
Asylum Expenses.
Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald Has
Also to Explain About
Deficiency.

The State Board of Examiners held
4 meeting yesterday, Governor Budd,
Deputy Attorney Anderson and
Secretary Markley being present.
The first business taken up was the
payroll and expenses of the insane
asylums.
DR.. Gardner of Napa was asked why,
for the past ten years, the expenses of
the asylum had the expenses of the
asylum had steadily increased, although
the number of patients has not much
increased. He answered that the repairs
that became necessary had nothing to
do with the number of patients.
The Governor said that session after
session the Asylum Directors had come
to the Legislature with requests for an
appropriation of 40 cents per capita,
and that when supplies became grad
ually cheaper, the money thus saved
was added to the payroll, in order that
the 4O-cent appropriation might be kept
up. He quoted long list of articles
and prices, covering a period of several
years.
DR.. Gardner replied that last year,
on an appropriation on the basis of
1,3OO patients, the asylum had kept
of the appropriation left over $16,664 in
fact-and unless something unforeseen
by him happened at the end of this year,
the institution would have been run
for $36O,00O, out of the 100000 appro-
priated.
The Governor said he knew that to be
the fact, but that it had not been SO in
past years. The fault, he thought, was
i,, =
lums, but in the managers, who went
to each Legislature for the 40-cent ap-
preparation, and had tried to live as
close to it as possible, Notwithstanding
the fall in provisions, by employing
more help and making places for peo-
pie, in order that the appropriation
should not be cut down.
When Labor Commissioner FitZger-
AIDS claim came up, the Governor said
that a deficiency of 1910 was asked
for and all the officials had been warned
that no deficiencies would be allowed.
Mr.. Fitzgerald said that he had asked
that the deficiency be provided for, be-
fore the money ran out. If his request
had been refused he would have dis
charged his deputies and closed the Of
flee, as gas, office rent, etc, must be

flee furniture, and when he went into
the office there was nothing but table
In it. He had done his best, but If he
could not have what was necessary to
work with, he would not try to do the
work. as it was impossible.
The Governor said he knew Mr.. Fitz-
gerald had done good work-far better
than his predecessors had-and he had
no fault to find on that score. He had
not known anything of the request
made by Mr.. Fitzgerald. He was will
ing to abide by the decision of the At
torney-General. who was his legal ad-
wiser, and if he were willing to allow
the Deficiency it was all right.
