London, October 2i.-The Speaker in a
long article on the peace commissions says:
The reluctance OF America TO annex

by which a debt ineurseb by a ruler binds

Rear Admiral Kirkland to Leave the
Active List.
Orders have been given for the retirement
tomorrow of Rear Admiral William A.
Kirkland, the senior officer of the navy,
now acting as commandant of the Mare
Island navy yard. Notwithstanding his re-
tirement, Admiral kirkland will continue
his present command until the termination
of the war with Spain permits his RELIEF
by an officer on the active list. His retire.
ment will result In promotions in all grades
of the navy. but only a few of them will
be made at once. The promotions already
determined upon are as follows:
Commodore F. v. McNair, now on special
duty in this city. to be rear admiral; Capt
William T. Sampson. commanding the naval
forces In the West indies to be commodore.
and Commander Francis w. Dickins as
sistant to the chief of the bureau of nayf-
cation. Navy Department, to be captain.
Commodore McNair and Captain Dickens
have qualified for promotion, but owing to
the absence of Captain Sampson from the
country 1t has been impossible as vet to
complete his examination for the higher
grade. Consequently he will be appointed
commodore, subject to examination" The
nomination Of the three officers named will
be sent to the Senate by the President
Monday or Tuesday next.

Of the days operations was received by
General Corbin from General Shafter.
As had been expected by the officials of
the War Department. the fight lasted un-
TIL shutdown. During the day probably it
was not possible for Shafter to step in the,
midst of the performance of his onerous
duties to send dispatches to the depart

work accomplished, as indicated concisely
in his dispatch, clearly shows that no:
much grass grew under his feet during the

The President and the war officials arc
immensely pleased at the information con-
veyed in Skaters message. While they
learned with sincerest regret that so many
of the American troops had fallen In the
fight, the ground gained by the days con-

PROSPECT OF GOING STILL HIGHER
Several Cases Reported of Pros
trations From Heat.
AIR HOT AND STIFLlNG

The unusual salutation today between
Washingtonians was:
isn't this terrible?
And the reply invariably was:
simply awful"
The words had no reference to the news
from Santiago, which was both terrible ana
awful when it was taken In relation to our
killed and wounded soldiers, and besides,
there was recompense in the Cuban infor-
nation which told of MORO Castle being in
ruins and continued victory for our forces.
Used then as they were, in describing the
weather they were simple words despite
the intense meaning. The atmosphere was
something worse than either. All night the
air had been close and stagnant enervating
and sleep destroying. No breeze found its
way through open windows to relieve re-
cumbent dwellers within. Fond parents
wore themselves out tanning their painting
babies. and fervent prayers went up from
countless lips for relief.
None came during the hours OF night, and
when morning broke everybody knew the
day was to be one of the worst in their ex-
perience so far as heat was concerned. AS
the day wore on 1t became more and more
evident that this impression would be more
than realized At 1920 o'clock thermome
tiers in stores public streets showed sew
eral degrees higher temperature than they
did two hours later yesterday. A light
changed to a sitter one from the south
west in the earlier afternoon, and while
this gave some relief in assisting the evap-
Grafton of the perspiration which covered
every body, it felt like the flashes one feels
when furnace door is opened suddenly.

PUBLISHERS ACT TOGETHER.
No English Chicago Papers to BE Is
sued Today or Tomorrow.


CHICAGO. July 2.-None of the English
papers were published in Chicago today,
owing to strike among the stereotypers
The stereotypers demanded a reduction
in the hours of labor and an increase in
wages. 1t was refused. ard, as result, at
5 o'clock last evening the stereotypers ie-
fused to go to work.
The following newspapers have entirely
suspended publication pending a settlement
of the issue: Times-Herald, Record Tri-
bune, Chronicle, Inter-Ocean, Evening Daily
News, Evening Journal and the Dispatch.
A meeting of the publishers was held at
ii m to arrange plan of campaign and
to provide for the resuming of publication
at the earliest moment, and it was an
ncunced that no paper would be published
tomorrow morning.
The publishers are acting together and
will do so. Already they have received a
large number of applications from stereo-
typers in other cities, and IL is the general
belief that since something like 200 en-
ployes are directly involved the suspension
viii not be long. An immediate influx of
stereotypers from other cities is expected,
and has in some m MEASURE begun.
The intense interest in the battle at San
uago renders the situation a peculiar one,
and this fact was Undoubtedly seized upon
by the operatives. There is no little pub
lie feeling aroused against the operatives
because Of this phase of the case.

alton of the bill to allow volunteer soldiers

jected, saying he was determined In his
opposition to IT. Mr.. Hoar then gave no.
tice that he would move to take up the
bill at the earliest time after disposal of

ment, the house bill to increase the force
