HEAT TO CONTINUE.


Washington, July 6.-The tenth day
of the present heated term was q
"scorcher," except where severe thun.
derstorms, local rains or violent at.
mospheric changes induced cool
weather. In Arkansas, the east gull
states, northern Ohio and New York
thunderstorms brought relief. In
southeastern New England, also, cool
err weather prevailed, the temperature
falling from six to ten degrees.
Last night the weather bureau Off
cials again said the only prospect for
relief from the heat lies in the oc-
cllrrence of storms. There is no
promise. they say, of general thunder
storms sufficient to make a consider
able fall in the temperature. Local
thunderstorms will give temporary
relief, but weather bureau officials say
permanent relief will not come until
heavy storms or local rains prevail.

to hustle the missionaries along the
street and both women and men were
literally despatched with eggs and
mud. The Dowieites finally fed from
the town.

FREIGHT HANDLERS.
Their Strike at East St. Louis
Causing Great Loss.
NAY REACH an AGREEMENT TO-DAY.


st. Louis, July 5.-Yesterday being
o holiday, no attempt was made BY
the transfer companies to do any.
thing in East st. Louis. All was
quiet there, but both sides were wait.
ing for to-day with no little trepida.
ton. The number of men out is now
about 1000 and the strike has been
the cause of thousands of dollars
loss to business men Of st. Louis, who
have merchandise tied up in cars or
freight houses on the east side.
The striking truckers and sorters,
who have called out with them the
platform clerks to the number of 300
and about the same number Of team
sters, assert that the switchmen will
strike to-day in sympathy. This, it
is asserted, would mean the complete
paralysis of freight traffic on the east
side. The railroad managers, on the
other hand, declared that the trou-
BILE will all be over to-day. The strike
OF the teamsters they say is the most
serious phase of the situation so far,
and with the transfers at work they
would be able to handle all the
freight offered. A strike among the
switchmen they say is something they
do not fear. Owing to the congested
condition of the freight houses and
yards in East St. Louis the railroads
are rebilling to this side of the river.
Perishaole stuff is being shipped by
express.
In the present contingency the
roads having freight houses on the
Missouri side and those which use the
Terminal association warehouses are
consigning both inbound and out
bound goods direct.
The only freight moving practically
is that belonging to concerns who
own or hire their own wagons. No
attempt has been made to interfere
with this traffic.
United States deputy marshals
guard the terminals of the Vandalia
road, which is under federal re-
ownership, and railroad detectives
have been stationed about the prop
erty of the Illinois Central, Southern
railway, Mobile & Ohio, Louisville &
Nashville; Chicago & Alton, Wabash,
Clover Leaf, Big Four, Baltimore &
ohio and other roads affected.
Mayor Stephens, of East St. Louis,
has held several conferences with the
'ailroad managers in an endeavor to
fleet settlement of the strike.
On account of the strike, the dis
'harge of cannons, guns, pistols and
'annon crackers was prohibited in
Cast st. Louis yesterday. .
1t is generally believed in East St.
.ouis that an agreement will be
cached by the railroads and the
trikers to-day and that the full force

CENSUS BULLETINS.
Information About Ownership Of
Farms and Value Of Products.
HEARING ON SWAMP LAND CLAIMS.
The Postmaster General VIII Soon Issue
Regulations Compelling Certain Peril
odicais to Pay Eight Cents u Pound
Instead Of One as Now.

Washington, July 6.-Within q few
days the census office will issue tn.
first of a series of bulletins relating
to the ownership of farms and the
value OF farm products. These bull
letins, which will deal with the farm
subjects exhaustively, will show
whether or not there is any founda-
ton for the claims that the land of
the country is going into fewer hands
each year, and that those who owned
farms a few years ago are becoming
tenants, and, therefore, less prosper
GUS citizens. 1t will not only show
the number of farmers who are living
on their own farms, but 1t will show
the average area Of each farm, to-
gether with the value of the products.
These figures will give some idea as to
the income of the farmers of the
country. This data will be compiled
In such a way that it can be compared
easily with the data of the same char
acter which was collected during
the census of 1890.
Hearing on Swamp Land Claims.
Washington, July GA case look
ing to the expedition of swamp land
claims, in which number of states

hearing before Assistant Attorney
General Vandeventer at the interior
department yesterday. The case Is
that of the state of Louisiana and in
wolves about $4,000 acres Of swamp
lands. Attorney George II. Lamar,
for the state, contended that all such
claims should be adjusted from the
showing made by the field notes OF
the surveyors, without the necessity
OF oral hearings in the field. 1t was
contended that the rule laid down
by the department in 1887 should be
changed so as to allow lands denomi-
mated swamp" "wet prairie" etc, to
pass on the proof furnished by the
original field notes.

loss to the service. 1t was his pur.

to compel this class of publications to
pay eight cents pound instead OF
one, as now. These new regulations,
