ANOTHER HOT WAVE.
Less Discomfort Than the Previous
One Brought Predicted.

A hot wave is upon Washington again.
For a week it has been vending its way
eastward and now it is scorching the
Middle Atlantic and New England States
with daily temperatures OF SO to 100 de-
grees.
The hottest portionl of the United States
outside of the South the first part of
August was South Dakota and Nebraska.
In the former State. in certain places, the
mercury climbed to 106 At Z D. m. on
the Sd inst, Chicago began to feel the
heat, and then Toledo and Cleveland on
the 4th sent in records to the Weather
Bureau which told of the advent OF seo.oh-
ing weather there.
Pittsburg and Philadelphia were warm
places on Sunday and warmer yesterday.
The area affected by intense heat at
present includes the New England AID
Middle Atlantic States. Washington is
rather on the southern edge.
The forecast taken last night tends to
warmer weather today.
Prof Henry, Chief Of the forecast divis-
ion at the Weather Bureau. stated that hot
weather would continue certainly for two
days and perhaps longer, but that it would
probably not be as warm as the hot spell
two weeks ago.

THE MACH|N|STS
 RETURN ID WORK Strike Officially Declared Off Last Depressed Con-
 dition of Iron Cause.

The machinists' strike was officially de- clared off last night, and the union men who have been out for the past two weeks will return to work tomorrow.
 This action was taken at a meeting held in Foxs Hall, Fourth avenue and Nine teenth street, last night. The union men had gathered there to discuss the situation and after a session lasting but short time, they decided that in view of the depression in the iron market and products of iron it was advisable for them to return to work and to abandon their demand for in- crease in wages. A vote on the question was taken and resulted in the adoption of a resolution to that effect
 About two weeks ago the union ma chinists employed at the machine shops in and around Birmingham made a demand upon the operators that all machinists re- ceivng under $3 a day be raised 21s cents an hour. The operators declined to enter tain the demand and the union men quit work.
 At the ten or twelve contract shops in Birmingham over a hundred union ma chinists were employed, and the strike in- augurated by them crippled these to some extent, although they continued to run with short forces.
