WASHINGTON, July 14.-Reports to the
Weather Bureau show that the hot weather
continued to-day in nineteen States and
Territories of the great corn belt, the Ohio
valley and various portions of the South.
There seems TO be no immediate evidence of
abatement except in the South and South
west, where local thunderstorms may
cause some moderation. The States af-
fected include Indiana, Illinois, Wiscon-
sin. Minnesota, Iowa. Missouri, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi-
ana, Arkansas, Oklahoma. Kansas. Ne
braska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Col
orado and Michigan. 1t has become consid-
erably warmer also in the upper lake re-
gion and in New England. Marquette,
Mich. reporting to-day a record-breaking
temperature of 102 degrees.
Hope of rain to-day in the region af-
fected by the heat was not fulfilled. only
traces of it appearing in one or two sec
tions, except at Galveston, Tex, where
about one-third of inch fell, and in east
ern Texas, where there were local thunder
storms. The temperatures reported to-day
show only slight variation from the ex-
tremes of the past few days and these
are due to local conditions entirely. In Des
Moines. Ia, to-day the temperature was
100. in Kansas City 1O2 and in Omaha 102,
while at Davenport, Ia. Denver, Col, Lit

LONDON, July 15.-Lord Kitchener has
advised the government, so the Daily News
understands. that 1t is possible to withdraw
large number OF infantry regiments from
South Africa, amounting virtually to the
greater part of the unmounted army At
the same time he requests that he be sup
piled with more mounted men. The govern
ment is considering this, according TO the
Daily News. and probably will be guided
by Lord Kitchener's advice. 1T is also
contemplated" says the same journal, IF
the infantry is largely withdrawn, TO con-
centrate the British troops along the Natal
Railway between Durham and Pietermaritz-
burg and between johannesburg and Pre-
toria. thus carrying gold and provisions
for the troops by shorter route than the
Cape Town route. A portion of the line
from cape Town to Pretoria may be aban-
doned."
