HONORS TO IRELAND.
Bishop O'GOrman Says They Were
Due to His Personality.

NEW YORK, July Port. Rev. Bishop
C'Gorman, of Sioux Falls, S. D., was a
passenger on the White Star steamer Ma
jestic, from Liverpool The bishop has
been abroad for several months. He
visited Rome and was accorded an audi
ence by the pope, who, according to
Bishop O'GOrman, is in the best of health.
The pope spoke affectionately of Ameri-
ca and of the church in this country.
Bishop O'Gorman was informed by Secre-
tary RampOlla that the health of the pope
was much improved since he had the
tumor removed. Before that time he suf-
fered with insomnia. Since the operation
the pope can sleep, and this is the secret
of his improved health.
Bishop O'Gorman has been with Arch
bishop Ireland in France and in Lon
don. He is enthusiastic over the recep-
ton accorded the archbishop.
HE is receiving an ovation" he said,
"and in France he has mad a triumph.
The reception accorded the man is sin
cere. So-called Americanism does not
figure in it, it is his personality that has
won such a triumph"

that the line to Duluth is assured the

prepared.
Regarding the reports of a possible

WHEAT REPORTED DAMAGED.
Excessive Heat Attacks South Da-
I1Ota Grain in the Milk

Reports received by the Western roads
yesterday indicate that wheat in North
and South Dakota is in danger of being
seriously damaged by the heat. AT
Bismarck yesterday the temperature
reached 100 degrees and at Huron, S. D.,
it reached 104, with no wind. Wheat
throughout this section which embraces
the greatest elevator section in
the West, is yet in the
milk. and in condition that
continuance for forty-eight hours of
the present heat, will shrivel the grain
heads and cause immense damage.
Agents report that the farmers are
very anxious over the outlook.
Together with the unfavorable reports
from the DalzOtas comes the announce
ment, made from the steamship offices,
to the effect that advices received yester-
day from Russia indicate that the wheat
crop has been so seriously damaged as
to make it almost a complete failure.
