Terrible Heat In New York.

New York. Aug. 12.-Death reaped
n harvest yesterday from New York's
humidity. At least thirty-three per-
sons died in this city and vicinity.
thirty of them from prostrations and
three children from falling from fire
escapes on which they had crowded to
get some relief from the torturing heat.
Since August 9th, when the tempera-
ture was ninety-one degrees, the condi-
tions have been growing worse. All in
all. 1t the hottest continuous weather
New York has ever had. Forecaster
Emery said to-day that it surpassed in
the aggregate the record Of the 1906
hot spell. All local weather records for
this year We're broken in the most un-
comfortable way. The thermometer
reached ninety-tive at 2 p. m. and reg
istered the same figures an hour later.
This was the official record taken in
the bureau, high above the street, and
is many degrees cooler than the tenn
perature the people were subjected to
on the streets.
A thunder shower to-day brought n
lower temperature and much needed
relief from the heat.

persons We're instantly killed and nine
others were fatally injured tonight
east of this city. n passenger train on
the Lehigh and New England railroad
crashing into an omnibus containing
twenty-five persons.
All the dead and injured people We're
in the omnibus. But one of the cccu-
pants escaped injury.
All are Pennsylvanians. The party
was returning to Slatington from Il
funeral. The dead and injured were
nearly all relatives of Sophia Schoefer,
whose obscquics they had attended.
The accident occurred at o'clock. at
a sharp curve. The train was n spe-
cal and was running mt lively rate.
The omnibus came along at good
rate of speed, the occupants uncon-
scious of any impending danger. AS
the bus swung around the curve the en-
gine came in sight.
1t was too late to stop either the ON
nibus or the train. and as the driver of
the former whipped up the four horses
to cross the track ahead of the train,
the latter crashed into its middle.
The occupants We're thrown in all d.
rections. bruised and bleeding. The
fifteen dead We're killed outright.
No watchman is employed to warn
teams or pedestrians Of any approach

ity state that 1t is impossible to hear
an approaching train. The horses draw

Washington. Aug. 12.-Indications Of
the desires of China for peaceful set
tlement of her present difficulties have
been multiplying for several days. Of
fetal evidence of that desire was pre-
sented to the Department of State to-
day. 1t was in the form of an edict
promulgated by the emperor, Kwang
Hsu. appointing Earl Ii Hung Chang
as envoy plenipotentiary to negotiate
with the powers for an Immediate
cessation of hostilities," pending So
luton of the problems which have
grown out of the anti-foreign uprising
in the empire.
Earl Ii is to act directly for the En-
peror and fair inference is that what
ever terms of settlement he may reach
with the powers will be approved by
the imperial government.
Tonight Secretary Adee, by direction
of President Mckinley, presented to
Minister WI for transmission to his
government the reply of the United
States to the imperial edict appointing
Ii Hung Chang envoy to negotiate

BUT MUST ACT FIRST.

with the powers for cessation Of hos
tilities.
The reply. in effect, is n reiteratlon
of the demands previously made by the
United States upon China, coupled with
a vigorous intimation that no negotta-
tions will be entered into until the Chi
nese government shall have complied
with those demands.
This government, inspired by de-
termination to effect the rescue Of the
legationers besieged in Pekin, takes ad-
vantage, in the reply to the edict, to
reiterate the demands previously made
to China. These demands were first
made by the President July 23rd, and
subsequently We're reiterated sub
stantially by Acting Secretary Adee, by
direction of the President.
The demands for the protection of the
ministers, for free communication be-
tween them and their respective gov
ernments. and for the restoration of Or
der in China, form the keynote of the
memorandum forwarded to the lmper-
ial government by the President

of the French fleet off Cape st. Vim
cent, last night. collision occurred be-
tween the tirst-class battleship Bren-

the torpedo boat destroyer France.
The France sank Immediately. and

of four officers and tifty-eight men,
We're saved.

Prince Oukthomsky sent his cele
brated collections of bronze Mongol
idols to the Russian Asiatic section of
the Paris exhibition. They remained
on view for a time. but some of the
figures shocked even Paris ideas of de

In. Having been accepted, the exhib-

the officials picked out the worst
specimens, packed them in box OF

body of scientists recently dis
cussed the age at which child is
most Interesting. The general opln-
ion finally fixed on two years as the
time when the unfolding from baby
hood to childhood exhibits the most
constant and pleasant surprises. In
connection with this scientific opin-
ion, 1t is notable that photographers
regard two years as the worst age to
take a "time-exposure" picture. A
younger child will, to an extent, stay
put" and so can be photographed; a
child above that age respects such d.
rections as, Keep still for Just a

the alertness and activity of youth

dom of listening to the artists re-
quests.

Advocates Big Standing Army.

Chicago. Aug. 12.-General Joseph
Wheeler made strong plea for the
standing army in his convocation ad-
dress at the University of Chicago. He
declared that the most certain way to
avoid the desolation and the horrors Of
war was to be constantly ready with
men and arms for every emergency;
that the only security for peace was to
be always prepared and ready to en-
gage in war.
At the close of the address General
Wheeler was cheered by the students,
many of whom are from the southern
states, and when the University band
struck up the tune of Dixie the en-
thusiasm rose to n high pitch.

The South American countries used
to be dismissed with few lines In the
old Biographies, but now they keep
the statisticians very busy. A train
ing-ship, carrying forty boys who will
one day be officers in the navy of the
Argentine Republic. visited this coun-
try last month. Within the memory
OF living men, the Argentine Republic
had no navy-indeed, there was no
Argentine Republic. 1t is not right to
gauge the worth of nation by the
number OF its war-ships. but let us re-
ioice that our sisters at the south are
setting up navies. The action indi-
Gates that they have something at
stake.
