RECORD SMASHED.
Weather Today Almost Unbear-
able at 1O1 Degrees.

At noon today the thermometer on the
top of the Columbian building, famed
by the heat laden wind from the south
west, registered 9S degrees above zero. On
Kansas avenue the recording instruments,
famed by the same wind but subject in
addition to the reflection from the side
walks and pavements, registered as high
as 1O1.
THE June heat record will be smashed
sure before evening"" said Weather OBJ
server Jennings as he wound a handker-
chief around his neck and shouldered his
umbrella preparatory to starting home
for lunch.
1t was certainly hot at that time, as
those who deserted what protection the
shade OF office. rooms afforded, well know.
1t has steadily grown hotter with the
hours of the afternoon.
Early this morning Mr.. Jennings was
at work printing on small bits of yellow
pasteboard the following prediction, in the
nope that 1t might console to some ex-
tent the sweltering citizens:
Thunder. storms tonight with cooler
north portion. Thursday partly cloudy
1t is certainly comforting to know that
! tomorrow will not be like today, but IN
( conditions. The sun beat down as mer-
cilessly on those who read Mr.. Jennings
announcement after they secured the in
formation as 1t did before.
Observer Jennings says he knew the hot
| spell was coming several days ago. He
| explains the heated condition of affairs as
| follows
Early yesterday morning particularly
attractive low" started on a transconti
| mental journey from the Pacific to the
Atlantic coast. AS it passed along its at
! tractiYeness caused the winds from the
north and south to rush in to meet it
Unfortunately for Topeka and the stat,
the route chosen for the journey is som,
! distance north of here.
Yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Jennings ex
plains, the low was some distance ives
Of here, but sufficiently close for this ter
! rttory to feel the sweep of the southern
winds. This afternoon it is almost di
rectly north, and this accounts for tn
increased heat. Tomorrow it will hav
passed on east, the south winds will hav
subsidized to their respective furnaces, an,
cooler weather will be the result.

Flu, shut off by the boxers, we thought.
We do not see why our missionaries
from Pelkin were not mentioned as well
as those of the other denominations.
SlonarieS in Pekin escaped all the way
to Che Foo, over 200 miles, without an
escort of troops, at time when Sey-
mOur and the allies are hard pressed in
could have done it was by the help OF
the native Christians. Perhaps these
missionaries who are mentioned were
outside of the city at the time they
started for Che Foo. Then. too. all our
missionaries in Shan Tung provinces
were ordered to report, which must be
Che Foo. From the fact that they were
not mentioned we conclude that they
have not yet reached that city,
Rev. DR.. G. G. Creegan of the Ameri-
can Board of Foreign Missions, said of
the Congregational missionaries who
are reported to be safe in Che Foo:
DIR. W. s. Ament is the superinten-
dent Of the mission at Pelxin and when
last heard from he was in that city.
His wife and family are in this country.
Miss Frances B. Patterson is of the Pc
kin mission and the last we knew of her
she was there. Rev. James H. Roberts
was stationed at Kalgan, in the far
north of China, close to the great wall.
We have had great fears for him and
wife and Rev. Mark Williams
Rev. Charles E. Ewing of Pao Ting
Flu has sent a cable dispatch to his
father-in-law, the Rev. Mr.. Porter of
Danvers, Mass. It said simply: Safe. -
After giving this information, DR..
Creegan said: I'VE are getting more
and more confused as these dispatches
come in. But SO far as we have any
knowledge no American missionary has
suffered bodily injury and there is
nothing yet to destroy our hopes that
! the life of each of them will be spared.
| Our government seems to be doing all it
can and we trust that the Lord will
| deliver our brethren out of the fiery
| furnace in which they are placed. We
assume that all our missionaries are
safe.
''At the office of the Christian and
| Missionary alliance in this city it was
| said that there We're thirty-two mission
aries north of Pekin who could be
reached only through Pekin or Tien
| Tsin. None of them could be in Che
Foo, for upon their arrival the head
quarters here would be notified"

here are now awaiting the development
OF events with the most intense interest
1t has become evident not only the
Chinese government is powerless to pre-
serve order, but also that the main
cause or It's poWerlessness IS It's sym
pathy with the anti-fOreign preJudlceS
with the insurgents, and therefore there
is nothing left for the powers but to
take and keep the supreme control.
OF the details of the events which
have led to this now manifest result, 1t
IS impossible to give any connected ac-
count. Telegraphic communication with
Pek1n has been cut off since the 10Th
instant and little more than rumors OF
the diplomatic strife between the lega-
lions and the government have reached
here, nor is there anything much more
reliable in the reports of the doings OF
the insurgents or of the magnitude OF
their forces. That they have been able
to block the passage of achievements
to the little body of foreign marines now
guarding the legations is, however,
sufficiently evident 1t is also lncreas-
ingly plain that the imperial troops
have to large extent joined them ana
that the combined foreign force on its
approach to the capital Will have TO
fight formidable enemy, so far as
numbers are concerned. The harbOr at
Taku is full of the foreign fleets, their
number constantly increasing. At last
accounts there were ID Russian, nVe
BRUSH, TWO French, three lTerIudHSy
four Japanese and two Italians. The
preponderance of Russia in the fray Is
exciting marked comment. She is show
ing what an immense advantage Port
Arthur is to her, and at the same time IS
revealing the military resources which
for years she has been quietly bringing
to the east. Her preponderance IN mill
| itary strength will, however. soon be
surpassed by Japan should there be q
| final breakup of China or its control
| by the powers be assumed Japan has
an army of a half million soldiers prac-
/ tically upon the spot. AS it would be
| well nigh impossible for any European
| power or any combination of European
/ powers to transport to the scene ar
| army equal to hers, it is plain to see
/ that her wishes will be eagerly deferred
| during the negotiations as to the hna
| disposition OF the great empire.
OF course, the Japanese are intensely
| interested in the situation, that interest
| having been greatly stimulated yester-
day by the news of the murder of one
| of the interpreters of that legation.
OF the cause of the disturbance, aparf
from the general prejudice against for
| eigners, it is plain that such prejudice:
! have been greatly fomented and in
| creased by a special anti-miSstonarS
| feeling.
At first it seemed to be directed main
| ly against the Catholics, but it would
| appear now that the whole body o.
| prOpagandists would be involved in tn
| trouble without discrimination.

New York Uptown Gossip.

New York. June 27.-Further progress
was made in the direction of higher prices
In the stock market yesterday. This
would indicate that the short interest had
not been entirely eliminated although
some slackening in demand from this
quarter probably accounted for the sharp
falling off in the volume of trade as com
pared with Monday. There was some sus-
picion of professionalism in the com
parat1Vely poor distribution of business as
well as in the appearance at times of buy
Ing stocks little dearer than they might
have been obtained. Nevertheless there
was some news yesterday which justified
more of a feeling of encouragement and
at the risk of being tiresome by repetition.
1t must be said by all fair minded OBJ
servers Of the market until the well known
uncertainties of the situation change the
market will be irregular. The news from
the Orient was regarded by the foreign
markets as rather encouraging. Consid-
cradle mystery necessarily surrounds the
reports from China, but they look in some
respects to be more favorable than had
been expected when the week began. 1t
may be a mistake to assume that the re-
cent testimony of the severe damage in
hicted upon spring wheat in large sections
of the northwest is exaggerated but any
liquidation and consequent contraction in
the volume of speculation tends to lessen
the burden placed upon domestic money
supplies.

ing the Situation.
New York, June 27.-The secretaries
of the foreign missions boards in this
city and the friends of the missionaries
now in China are getting more and
more bewildered as runors multiply and
cable messages more depressing than
cheering, come to headquarters.
letter from DR.. Edna G. Terry to
her mother, dated April 29, said she
would sail for home at the earliest pos
sible date. Mrs. Terry hopes that her
daughter is already on her way to the
United States.
The report from Che Foo. giving list
of missionaries safe there, caused the
PresbyterianS some worry. Mr.. Car
rison of the secretary's Office, said:
Not one of our missionaries ismention-
ed in the list, unless il is Rev. Mr..
Lowrie. Our Mr.. Lowrie IS the Rev
Walter, and he has been at Pao Tong
