PACKERS PROTEST.
Declare New War Revenue Stamp
Ruling Will Bankrupt Weak Firms.

New York, Aug. 9.--Protests are be-
ing made by packing houses and for
warders against the new war revenue
stamp ruling by which these firms are
compelled to give a stamped receipt for
every separate parcel received by them.
The Interpretation of the law came as
a great surprise to the interests affected
since none of the forwarders, it seems,
have been stamping such receipts, and
strong efforts are to be made to have
the ruling either set aside or modified
If enforced it is claimed that it will
not only embarraSS packing houses. but
will also affect firms in many lines of
business. and particularly small mer
chants in all parts of the country whose
shipments are bulked by these forward
ers for transportation. L. j. Armstrong
of the New York Dry Goods Packing
company, said:
The new stamp ruling is decidedly
unfair for a number of reasons chief
among them being that it places an
additional tax on goods that are al
ready taxed when they are handed over
by us to the express companies, and,
why packing companies should be sin
gled out and their patrons forced to
pay a tax when practically every dry
goods house, and no doubt firms in
other lines throughout this city, are
carrying on exactly the same business.
but are not forced to comply with the
new ruling. The new order heavily in
creases the expenses of our patrons,
and as for the packing companies them
selves and the possibility that we may
be called upon 10 pay for this new tax
since July l, 1t would be impossible for
me to make a sworn statement of all
our receipts from that date to the pres
ent. And even if the department should
insist on back payment, it would be i'm
possible for US to force the shippers of
the goods during that period to pay the
tax. Should the department enforce
this part of the ruling it would no
doubt bankrupt many packing con-
Germs. The requirement of a stamped
receipt will in itself seriously affect the
business of such firms, but If the ruling
is to stand, it certainly should be en-
forced uniformly"

pledges Presumably the party will
keep the pledges it has now made.
Assume that that has been accom-
plished which Senator Hoar seeks to
accomplish, namely, the election of NC
Kinley, with his Endorsement of the
platform. Can anything then be said
by Senator Hoar, or by any other Re-
publican against the continuance Of the

can Senator Hoar, or can any other per-

policy which he originated and which
has been approved by the country

but it is not yet lost. The Republican
party must be overthrow, the candt-
dates of the Republican party must be
defeated, and the country must return
to policy Of self-government,o Of justice,
of peace, in place of q policy OF injus-
tice, of vassalage, of war.

and the man, that shall redeem the
country from it's policy of degradation
and that shall secure to Cuba, to Porto
Rico and to the Philippines the full and
immediate enjoyment of the right OF

CHICAGO'S HEAT.
Nine Persons Dead Yesterday-Citi-
zens Flee to the Parks.

Chicago. Aug. 9.-Al1 past records for
long continued hot weather in Chicago
have been equalled during the present
week and when tOday'S temperatures
have been taken it is more than proba-
BILE that a new record Will have been
made. For five days the mercury has
made regular Jaunts well above the 80
mark and with no relief in sight the
weather man is willing to risk his Off
cial reputation on the prediction which
is practically a certainty, that 1t Will
again soar above that figure today.
The city has not suffered from such a
long continued spell of extremely hot
weather since the summer of 1892. In
July of that year the thermometer for
five days registered temperatures above
30 degrees The maximum temperature
at that time, however, was SO degrees,
while last Sunday the 81 mark was
reached The average temperature this
time has been higher than during the
hot wave of 80, so Chicago is really ex-
periencing a record breaking period Of
hot weather of the continuous perform
ance variety.
Yesterday was but repetition of its
four predecessors, and brought further
distress and tragedy to the city. So
far as learned nine persons died from
the effects of the heat in the "a hours
ending at midnight The Frustrated
that were reported numbered over
thirty of whom several Will not recover
The poor people in the tenement dis
trictS suffered terribly and in these con-
gested sections whole families secured
their nights rest as best they could. On
fire esca pes, steps, porcheS and side
walks they sought repOSe. A visit to
the parks late last night revealed the
fact that hundreds of people had made
their beds under the trees, finding the
pent up Enclosures of their home unen-
durable.
The hot weather also began to show
its effect on the business of the city,
and the downtown stores were not
crowded. Restaurants noticed the con-

A better condition of affairs Is report
ed in the northern camp. Smallpox is
said to have entirely disappeared, though
there is much sickness, mostly pneumon-

Rich bench claims have been located
on Anvil and Dexter creeks and 1t is
now believed that winter work can be
carried on.
on the divide at the head Of Anvil
and Grouse creeks on the Dexter side,
at least 80 shafts have been sunk to bed
rock. Pans of 81 and IS are said to be
common and as high az 81, 100 has been
taken out in one day.
Jafer Linderberg, the heavy Anvil
creek operator has started out with a
prospecting party for Norton Sound. He
claimed to have positive knowledge of a
rich district, but declined to give out in
formation.
The revenue tug Meteor recently re-
turned from cruise along the coast,
visiting villages for the purpose OF
relieving suffering among the natives.
Many deaths have occurred among Es-
kimos and the condition of nearly all the
survivors IS said to be pitiable. Ninety
two of them were brought by the tug to
Nome, where they have been provided
with tents and such comforts as are pos
sible and their sick are being treated I'M
der the supervision of government auth
critics. An effort will be made by the

1t is said that the surveyors will be put
in the field this year and that early next
spring the work of construction will be
begun.

WAR INTEREST WAVES.
English Public Heartily Weary of the
Boer Trouble

New York. Aug. "a dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The public interest in the South Afri-
can war has waned, but the pariia-
mentary session closed with a series of
angry discussions on the subject, Mr.
Chamberlain being fiercely baited by
the radicals on the communications
which he alleges some opposing MEM
bers have maintained with the Trans
Vaal government. In all this there is
a considerable element of party poll
tics. 1t is commonly believed that the
general election will take place in the
autumn, and the policy and conduct of
the war will be the main issue before
the candidates. Hence the politicians
are still talking of South Africa, though
the nation is paying far more attention
to the opening of the drama in Eastern
Asia.
Everybody is heartily tired of the
Boer war and anxious to have done
with it as soon as possible, but the
government is by no means convinced
that the end is at hand. and 1t is sig
nificant that reinforcement drafts for
two of the regiments at the front have
just been ordered to hold themselves
in readiness for embarkation next
week

TOPEKA INVENTOR.
o. G. Mathewson Will Build His Re
frigerators in This City.

o. G. Mathewson, of 1913 Morris ave-
nue., has taken out patents on a new
and improved refrigerator. and is taking
steps to secure a plant for their manu-
facture in this city.
The refrigerator is built so that the
cold water melting from the ice may
be utilized The new method makes the
temperature of the box about ten de-
grees lower and the ice lasts about twice
as long This new idea promises to
revolutionize the refrigerator industry
While Mr. MathewsOn was in the east
looking after the patents a number OF
big eastern manufacturers tried to get
hold of the patents and manufacture
them by giving him royalties. Mr..
Mathewson prefers to keep the matter
in his own hands and manufacture them
in Topeka He is at present looking
around to find location for the plant
1t is quite probable that he will secure
the building known as the old coffin
factory on East Sixth avenue. This
building contains the machinery needed,
and if secured, work could Immediately
be begun.
Mr.. Mathewson contemplates building
about two thousand refrigerators dur
ing the winter and during the coming
summer about five thousand more. This
will furnish steady employment for
about twenty men
