Distress In Chicago.

CHICAGO. September 3.-Should the high
temperature continue unbroken until to-
morrow morning all Chicago heat records
for duration will have been broken. The
record to date has been five consecutive
days with maximum temperature in the
90's. In many places work has been sus-
pended in shops and where men arc obliged
to labor exposed to the sun. The suffering
in the tenement district has been intense.
For duration and intensity of heat Prof.
Cox of the weather bureau says the pres
ent hot waye is about as severe as any
thing he has ever observed. "It covers"
said he, practically the entire country
east of the Rocky mountains and has run
as high as 1O2 above in Kansas, while In
Huron, S. D., there have been three sue
cessive days of 100-degree weather."

tons from heat the past twenty-four hours
in Chicago showed one dead, Mrs H. p

the southern Philippines, and consisting OF
the best and richest natives of Panay,
Mindoro, Cebu and Mindanao visited
United States Consul Williams yesterday
evening and urged that every possible ef-
fort be made for the annexation of the
whole Of the Philippine Islands.
The deputation declared that all classes.
the warlike mountaineers as well as those
engaged in mercantile pursuits, would well
come the stars and stripes. and had re-
solved never to submit to Spanish or Ia

They also said that there were 1000 men.
many of them armed with rides, near IL
oilo ready to support the Americans. They
refuse 10 join in the cIamor for independ-
euce, which they consider a mistake and
impracticable. They only wish for annex

The delegations propose to interview
Gen. Otis, the American commander to
appeal to President Mckinley. and to con-
fer with A9uinaldo's followers, with the
view Of arranging for a combined move
ment-to insist upon annexation
They will also ask that the insurgent

thence to the eastern entrance, for the pur-
pose of securing necessary ventilation for

One of the Best known Clerks in tho
Government Service.
DR.. Walter s. McNairy, one Of the best
known clerks in the government service,
died at his rooms near the Ebbitt House
at an early hour this morning, in tha
eighty-fifth year of his age.
Within the past few months his health
declined rapidly, and he passed quietly
away at a ripe old age, after a career OF
clerical service of the Navy Department in
1882 and served faithfully there until a
short time before his death, when the
weakness of old age seized i;pon him and
he was no longer able to leave his bed.
He was widely known throughout the ma
val service, and in local circles was dis.
tinguished for his high character anu be-
nevolence. Having acquired considerable
means, he distributed much of 1t in quiet
charity. and his taking off will bring sad
ness to many hearts. Realizing his ap-
preaching end he made his will a few
weeks ago and made several liberal be-
quests to friends and various charitable in-
sututtonS- He was a prominent Mason,
and was a member of Good Hope Lodge
and of Washington Chapter and Command

bequest of $1,000.
Dr. McNairy was a gentleman of the old
school, and he clung tenaciously TO the
end to all the customs and traditions Of
his early childhood. One of mis- pet hob
gifts. and he made II his duty and pleas
ure every year TO remember every one of
his numerous friends with appropriate
gifts on that occasion.

The Escort Question.

"A Veteran" has the following to say
about the matter of escorting the District
regiment
1t appears that the trouble about the
escort is the keeping of the returning SOL
diers standing too long. The custom ap-
pears to be that the arrivals first march
past the escort, then halt and salute while
the escort marches past them. which would
be severe strain If the escort Is q large
one Why not compromise. and suit all
parties by cutting the second detail en-
tirely? Let the escort be drawn up I'm line
on pennsylvania avenue, from the Peac.
monument. stretching west Let the re-
turning regiment march by them, receiving
their salutes. Let each organization in line
as 1t is uncovered break into column and
follow. After the LIST Regiment is reviewed
II would simply continue on TO the rear of
the White House. and the President would
remain and review the eseort."d

A reference to the statement be-

1t Is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-

papers to newsstands. which are re-
turnable. and which are in fact re-
turned. but nevertheless are in
