 HOT AND DRY There is No Abatement of the Drought in the
 Southwest GRAIN CROPS ARE RUINED Stock Suffering, and Packing Houses of Kansas City Unable to Handle All the Cattle offered-Mer- cury Ranges High.
 
GRAIN CROPS ARE RUINED

Kansas City Mo-, July 13-Despite local thunderstorms. accompanied by the slight rainfall in Western Missouri last night. the drought that is burning up vegetation in Missouri Kansas, Oklahoma and In- dian Territory is still unbroken. The Kansas City weather observer says:
 'The atmosphere is so uniformly heated to such great altitude that it makes precipitation almost impossible. Clouds may gather and a few drops of rain may fall, but the lower stratum of air is so hot that the rain drops would be trans formed to vapor in passing through it''
 There is no relief In sight and the situa- tion becomes worse each hour. Several days ago one-fourth of a corn crop in Kansas was hoped for The estimate now must be still further reduced
 Prayer for rain will be offered in scores of churches in Missouri and Kansas to- morrow.
 The Kansas City live stock market is an index to the situation. The cattle mar ket has gone through one of the most trying weeks in many years. As many feeders as possible are holding back their cattle in the hope that rain will succor them. Each day, however, brings them nearer to the inevitable, and commission men are flooded with letters indicating that next week is the longest they can hold out. Ruling prices are the lowest in mnRy years, and during the last few days the commoner grades of cattle could not be sold at any price.
 Receipts during the week aggregat ted over 5000 head the heaviest ever known at this season of the year. As compared with the previous week there was an in crease of 5000, and 2O,0OO more than the corresponding week a year ago.
 Some of the dressed beef buyers said as early as Thursday that their refrigera- tors were full and that they could not buy more until there was an outlet for the stock on hand.
 The stockers and feeders situation, old timers say Is the worst they have known in twenty-five years.
 The weeks movement of hogs to the local markets was the heaviest ever known. The total receipts were above 122.- 900, against 10000 in one week of August. 1890, the best previous record.

No Relief Soon.

Topeka, Kan, July 13.-The suffering in Kansas from the prolonged drought is now more intense than ever. It is hardly expected that there will be any lasting relief before fall. The fire departments in Topeka, Atchison. Emporia, Lawrence and other of the large cities have ad- dressed appeals to the people asking them to shut off all their hydrants when ever the fire bell is rung, so as to give the proper amount of pressure on the water mains leading to the fires There is not city in the State which is tonight able to cope with fire. Buildings have reached such an intense degree of dry ness than a fire will start on the slightest provocation. In all the country dis tricts streams are running low and mills and electric light plants that were run by water power have been forced to close down.
 Most of the ponds have been dry for two weeks and the question of where to obtain water for stock is one of the most important that has confronted the Kansas farmer for years. Stock is being placed on sale at ridicuously low prices.
 Reports from twenty-four counties to- night, mostly in the eastern and central part of the State, indicate that the corn crop is not so badly off as has hitherto been published. The late corn has not yet begun to tassel and 1t Is the general verdict that 1t is standing the heat re- markedly well. and if favorable weather conditions would come at once, a half crop of corn would be obtained in these coun- ties. But the conditions now are anything but propitious for better weather. Dairy men have been obliged to increase the price of milk, so high has the price of feed gone. ..es

condition of things may not repeat
themselves. Assuming, as is perfectly
reasonable to do, that there should be
another plague, there would be poor
means at best of taking steps to pre-
vent the spread of the contagion. The
animus which is back of the whole
matter reveals itself in the fact that
the legislators have eradicated only
those places which they knew Hawaii
ans were unable to fill. In passing, a
word might be said for the members
of the Board of Health, who are serv-
ing without pay. They have no other
reward than the fact that they know,
as professional men, that they have
done what they could towards preserv-
ing the public health and happiness of
their fellow men. How much they do
in this way that the world at large
knows nothing Of is hard to say.
Such an action as this, that has
been done by narrow minded men,
who have been actuated by race preju-
dice, is sufficient cause for remon-
STRANGE on the part of the people OF
this Territory. The Chamber or Com
merce should take some action, if for
no other reasons than financial ones;
humanitarian considerations, for the
time, being dispensed with. The peo-
pfc of Honolulu have hardly recovered

guard by which to stay the onslaught
of disease in a place like this. can be
easily imagined.
The Moana will have many imita-
tors, in case the present condition or
things, for which the Legislature Is
preparing us, is carried to its logfcar
conclusion. The action of the British
Steamship Company is plainly an indi-
cation that the health of this city is
not above suspicion. With sucn things
staring us in the face, it is the height
of foolishness it seems to me, to lessen
our precautionary measures. The ex-
penses that will result from having
these positions, may seem large upon
first sight, but when they are compared
with the expenses that will be added
to the public indebtedness, In case We
have a visitation of cholera. bubonic
plague, or something of similar ma
ture, they will seem so trivial as to
be unworthy Of notice. Again, even If
we are not visited by something Of this
kind, we will have the satisfaction OF
Knowing that we took all the safe
guards that should have been taken by
any civilized, enlightened community
in having these positions, and having
them filled by competent men,"

The recent action of the House OF
Representatives in doing away with
the positions of bacteriologist, pathoIo-
gist. three sanitary inspectors, assist
ant clerk, stenographer. inspector OF
plumbing and assistant to the same,
has caused considerable comment, es-
pecially among the physicians of this
City. One of them, in speaking of the
matter, said yesterday:
ITO my mind, the whole matter has
resolved itself into this: The Hawaii
an legislators are starting out with a
set purpose of knitting every position
held by a haole, regardless of what the
result will be to the public welfare.
For some time, 1 understand there
has been considerable friction between
certain members of the Board of
Health, and this decision, am salts
fed, is but the outcome of that condi-
ton of affairs. 1t is said that there
are some members who are playing
both ends against the middle, so to
speak. In other words, when these
persons, or person, as the case may
be, finds out the mind Of the board,
outsiders are at once informed, and an
attempt is made to Illustrate their
plans. 1t will be noticed that in the
cutting of salaries, and the doing away
with positions, no place rs dispensed
with that is, or may be held by a
native. This is true in the present in
stance. The Office of the secretary,
held by a brother of Robert Wilcox
remains unaffected Governor Dole has
been accused by these. same people with
being an offensive partisan, but he has
not made racial lines the ones for MAX
ing appointments, the Department Of
Public Works and the Treasury De-
partment both testify to his broad
mindedness in this regard.
Under the conditions that will be
inaugurated, there will Abe nothing In
the economy of things to ward Off an
other plague. There will be no pub
lie officer to see that suspicious causes
of death are looked into. Even II this
is done by private individuals as far
as they are able, or the general prac-
titioner, there are no definite means
of arriving at definite conclusion
Things will move along In a hit-or-miss
sort ofway, until some time the city
of Honolulu wakes up to the fact she
has another plague on her hands.
There has been one plague here; there
is no reason to assume that such a

The message had no sooner been
read than Emmeluth .arose and after
criticizing the action of Mr.. Cooper and
Governor Dole for sending in the mes
sage at this time, when it should have,
he claimed, been sent in during the
regular session. The following resolu-
ton was introduced by the speaker:
Resolved, that the message of the
Acting Governor be laid on the table
to be considered at the next extra ses-
sion'
Upon this, a discussion followed,
whether or not the House could con-
sistently pass the resolution, as it had
already ordered one message from the
Acting Governor printed and distribu-
ted to the different members of the
House. The message was finally tab
led, and Emmeluth, "to expedite mat
ters," as he expressed it, followed up
resolution number one by another
which read after this fashion:
Whereas. by reason of public notice,
Henry e. Cooper. Secretary Of the
Territory, has been performing the du-
ties of Governor of this Territory, and
Whereas, the time which has elaps-
ed since such publication has permit
ted the Governors return to this city
in sufficient good health 20 be daily
seen on the streets thereof, and
Whereas, the functions of govern
ment make it desirable that the vari-
Gus officers Hereunder be separately
administered, now be it therefore re-
solved, that the clerk of this House be
instructed to communicate with the
Acting Governor of the Territory and
inquire of him the nature and extent
of the disability under which the Gov
ernor of the Territory may at this time
be incapacitated. for the duties OF his
office, and what the prospects are at
this time for the resumption or the
duties of his Office by the Governor.
Emmeluth made a long argument In
favor Of his resolution. He said that
to accept the message from Cooper
would be a reflection on their own
manhood and integrity. The House
has a right to know what allied Cover
nor Dole, how badly off he is, how long
he expects to remain away from the
duties of his position. and upon whose
suggestion he passed the reins OF gov

Senator Russell once more sprang to
his feet, on a question of privilege,
saying he had charges to prefer against

sonally."
