EVANS MAY RETALIATE.
Departments Criticism Hardly to His
 Liking.

AAhAAks
 Washington, Aug 12.-The navy de- partment's censure of Rear Admiral Evans opens series of interesting possibilities. 1t is possible, say naval officers. that Fighting Bob" will ac- cept his reprimand in silence, but it is entirely contrary to the nature indi- cated by his sobriquet. It is possible that he may demand a court of in- quiry. His contention hitherto has been that ex-SenatOr Chandler having left the office of secretary of the navy and having been turned down for re- election to the senate is now merely a plain citizen of the United States. Con sequently any criticism of his acts, present or past, is not in violation of regulations of the navy enjOining upon its officers silence as to the personnel of the service.
 Throughout his book there is here and there an intimation that the writer, in common with other officers of the navy, might under favorable circumstances reveal number of facts discreditable to the bureau ad- ministration of naval affairs. Should Admiral Evans demand and succeed in court of inquiry such testimony might easily become admissible and more than one scandal be added to the list which now seems to be over whelming the department. Naval of ficials are naturally reticent regarding the Evans case. This reprimand to an acting officer for criticism of former official following the order of Secre- tary Long, forbidding expressions of opinion. has rendered the occupants of bureaus and others dumb. Secretly they are inclined to resent construc- ton of the navy regulations which would bind their tongues to an almost unlimited extent.
 The reprimand was undoubtedly or dered by Secretary Long.

The heat yesterday was the most
oppressive of the summer. There have
been hotter days The mercury has
passed the century mark upon more
than one occasion this summer, but
there was generally q slight breeze, or
something to modify the heat. II was
the quality of the heat yesterday which
caused half the population TO say that
they suffered more from 1t than upon
any dsy during the summer.
Il was not an unusual thing % find
a man With his coat thrown over his
arm, approaching a Thermometer, and
then turning away with disappointed
lock. Shirt waist effects and veritable
shirt waists. were more In evidence
thSn at any time during the season.
Half the men on the streets ignored
convention in the interest OF comfort.
Some living in the extreme waras, left
their homes without coats. and tram
saeted their shopping in such uneon-
ventionel but very sensible attire,
Very few OF the mills were In oper-
alton after noon. but In the morning
there was great deal OF suffering
among the men. With so much com
plant, it a remarkable fact that no
serious cases OF prostratien were re-
ported.
Following is the hourly record, as
observed by Christian Schnepf. the
remarkable feature being the high
temperature after six o'clock In the

TELEPHONE LINEMEN
WERE DISCHARGED
By the Bell Company Because They
Belonged to the
Union.
The Superintendent of Construction
Was Included in the Number.
The Former Trouble between the
Company and the Linemen.

When the linemen of the Bell Tele-
phone Company in and about Wheeling
received their pay yesterday each and
every union man received notice that
his services were no longer required, as
the company would not hereafter en-
ploy union men or recognize the union.
No distinction was made by the com
pany, even the superintendent of con-
struetion, whom, We are informed, was
a member of the union, being among
those discharged.
The foregoing is the essence of the
statement made by one OF the diseharg-
ed linemen.
An attempt was made to communi-
cate with NJ r. Wolf, local superin-
tendent of the Bell company, but the
reporter was informed that he could
not be communicated with last night.
Several of the discharged men ap-
piled TO the National company, which
employs only union labor.
Several months ago, it will be re-
membcred, there was a strike of the
linemen of the Bell Telephone Com
pany, the cause Of which was stated to
be the employment of non-union labor
by the company. The local union made
an attempt to settle the matter, but the
company refused to treat with them,
claiming that they the local union
had no power to settle it.
After a prolonged series of futile at
tempts to get the company to deal with
them, many encounters between the
strikers and non-union men having oc-
Cured in the meantime, the Trades
Assembly took the matter up. 1t had
a meeting with the Pittsburg represen-
tative of the Bell Telephone Company
and about two weeks ago declared the
strike settled and off, and the men re-
turned to work.
If we are correctly informed. yes
terday was the first pay day since the
settlement of the strike. The men
were greatly surprised at being dis
charged
