Although the Bronchos were defeat
ed yesterday, there is one consolation
they gave Jack Roach the hardest
pounding since his entree to the Texas
league. Twelve hits, including two
home runs, is the extent of his suffer-
ings. But with all this the Sand Crabs
located George Fitzpatrick just in time
to give them one run to win. Then
also there were errors enough to win
and lose any game. Each side got
seven, and these helped to pile up
runs.

DEpEw PREDICTS A TREATY.

Tells u London Paper One VIII BE
Ratified During This Administration.
LONDON, June 25.-The Echo this after
noon publishes an interview with DIR.
Chauncey Nj. Depew, in which he is quoted
as expressing the belief that the arbitration
treaty between the United States and Great
Britain will be law before the end Of Presi-
dent McKinley's term of office.
Regarding the anti-British feeling in the
United States, he remarked:
Americans have a deep distrust of the
methods of the British government, and g.
gard the British as land-grabbers. 1 ad-
init that when the British grab, they give
the people better government, but Ameri-
csns fear they will not be content with
grabbing the land of the old world, but are
going to try to grab in the new world.
Anything OF that kind done in our hem
isphere we want to do ourselves. This sus-
picion Of the foreign policy is the reason
for the failure of the arbitration treaty..
though irish opinion may have helped, for
America has deep sympathy for Ireland and
home rule, as 1t seems to be the natural de-
velopment Of the federal idea. A perma-
nent tribunal for Great Britain and Ameri-
ca must come. President Mckinley and the
most thoughtful Americans are in favor

THE INTENSE HEAT.
Residents of Warrington Swelfcring
Under the Fervent SUN.

Under the FerYehf SUN.
Animate nature in this vicinity sweltered.
sizzled, suffocated and suffered today from
the very rising of the sun. The earliest
hours were full of steam. The air seemed
to be saturated with moisture. like that
which pervades the hot room of Turkish
bath, and if a strong breeze had not
sprung up about 0 o'clock and assisted in
the evaporation of the other moisture
that bathed humanity in a constant coat
of uncomfortable sickness, there's no
telling what would have happened.
Even after the breeze began life was
scarcely tolerable to any one who wore
something more substantial than pajarnas.
The direct rays of the sun were terrific.
1t seemed as though the famous old orb
of day had determined to follow the suit
of the Washington Base Ball Club and
show what it could really do, In spite of a
protracted period of inertia; and, If SO, it
got III its licks with vengeance.
The concrete grew soft to the tread of
horses and humans alike, and poured back
the heat it received from the sun with al
most equal energy. During the noon hours
persons who stopped in drug stores to cool
off with soda saw the Thermometers hung
in the entrances, where the sun never
reaches, registering 80 and 92. The proph-
cts who had confidently announced cool
summer swabned their shamed faces and
kept discreet silence.
The clouds which began to gather about
l o'clock were grateful even to the votar.es
of the national game, and most of them
prayed for rain as ardently as they mad
begged for leave from their Offices to see
the double event today.
In short, June 25 was a caloric corker in
Washington, and everybody knew it, no
matter how decollete their costumes might
be or how near their proximity to an cleo
trio fan.

HAILSTORM AT Topeka
Kansas Capital Looks Like It Had Been Be-
sieged.
Windows Broken, House Roofs Pierc-
ed and Men and Animals Knocked
Down by Hai1stOnes.

TOPEKA. Kan, June 25.-Topeka this
morning looks like a city that has with
stood a siege of war guns. There are not a
dozen buildings in the town that are not
windowless and many roofs were caved in.
The worst hailstorm known in the history
of Kansas struck this city shortly after 9
o'clock last night. Hailstones, weighing
twelve to sixteen ounces, stripped the trees
of their foliage, smashed window panes on
every hand, including the finest plate glass
fronts, cut down telegraph and telephone
wires, riddled awnings, and inflicted un-
precedented damage throughout the city
Dogs were struck in the streets and in
stantly killed. Horses were knocked to
their knees. to rise again and dash away
In mad fright. Runaways occurred through
out the city. When the fury of the storm
had passed dead birds were found every
where. \ heavy wind and terrific light
ming accompanied the storm. The roofs of
street cars were also pierced. The damage
wrought can better be imagined when 1t is
known that the hailstones ranged in size
from that of a hens egg to an astrich egg,
and that three minutes after the storm one
hailstone was picked up which measured
fourteen inches in circumference.
Surgeons were kept busy dressing the
and reports of injuries continue to be re-
cefved. Many were hurt in runaways on
the streets
The following are among the most seri-
ously hurt:
Frank Brainard hackman, skull fractured.
j. D. Henderson, liveryman, skull frac-
rured.
Roy White, leg broken in a runaway.
Mrs. Mary Hughes. arm broken in a run
away.
d. X. Lee. bad scalp wound
Miss Anna Fenton, head cut.
Fred Holler, head cut.
George Hill. boy, skull fractured.

dered unconscious
Policeman Kidney fingers broken in pro-
tecting head with hands.
Miss Cornie, badly wounded on head, In
hospital.
Hackman Frank Brainard is still uncon-
scious ana will probably die.
The damage cannot be estimated, but it
will amount to thousands. Window glass
Is already at premium here, and three
carloads have been ordered from Kansas
City. Street car traffic is stopped and the
electric system of the city is demoralized.

ADAMS ORDERED TO SEATTLE.
Representative Lewis Secures a We,
sci for the Fourth.

Representative Lewis Secures a Ves-
sci for the Fourth.
Representative Lewis of Washington had
an Interview with Acting Secretary Roose-
welt at the Navy Department today, as a
result of which orders were issued for the
U. S. S. Adams, which recently arrived at
Seattle in time to take part in the celebra-
ton of the Fourth of July at that place.
This disposes of an incident that threat
ened congressional investigation at one
timc.
Last April Representative Lewis applied
to have warship sent to Seattle on the
Fourth of July and received a promise that
it would be done. Senator Hanna and 9TH
ers, acting on behalf of the Christian En-
deavor Society, had, however, arranged
with the naval authorities to have the bat
tie ship Oregon visit Tacoma during the
and the citizens of Portland, Ore, arranged
to have the monitors Monterey and Mon
adnock at that city about the same time.
The Portland people originally wanted the
battle ship Oregon, but it was found she
drew too much water to ascend the Column
bid river, and it was decided to send the
Two monitors instead. They will receive
the silver service intended for the battle
ship and turn 1t over to her at the first
favorable opportunity. This action disposed
of all the available ships, and left none for
the Seattle celebration.
Representative Lewis did not despair,
and his persistence was finally rewarded to-
day, as already indicated, by securing the
services of the Adams, which, although an
old-time vessel, will undoubtedly be able
to make a good display in the patriotic
celebration in which she will take part.

indication that there will be two SEPARATE
campaigns conducted by the republicans
of Ohio this fall Senator Hanna has de-

tirely to Secretary Charles F. Dick. 1t
has therefore been practically agreed upon
that the legislative ticket in this state will
be under the direct generalshiD of Major
Dick 1t is reported by those who are near
to the throne that Senator Hanna does
not believe Governor Bushnell will carry
Ohio this fall. He has decided. however,
not to antagonize him by insisting on the
appointment of Major Dick as chairman of
the executive committee.
Will BE Compromise Man.
The next chairman will probably not be
appointed for a week or ten days. 1t is
learned on the highest authority that Sem
ator Hanna and Governor Bushnell will
decide upon the man.
This arrangement was made at Toledo
this morning, and was the only concession
that Hanna made to Bushnell Politicians
here believe that the whcle strength Of

Mr.. Farley, however, gave Mr.. Monnot
to understand that he is for Mclean for
