Newport, R. l., July 12.-Mr. Thomas W. Lawson issued the following state ment tonight:
 "Topmast gone, leaking badly from the pounding received while rounding Cape Cod and four times loser. the Independence arrived at anchor tonight after her first series of races. But in the hearts of those who have been with her from her birth, she Is the fastest ship that ever sailed. say this wsth no thought or intention of taking fiem the Constitution or Columbia a Jot Of that to which they are entitled, but can unhesitatingly say that my un- ~ayering' belief in the ability of the InGer endence eventually to show her stem to anything afioat has been strengthened by everything shr has done while at Newport.
 "Throughout her first two races she carried tons of water. After ler second race had the pump rigged beiSw deck and during the last two races sine was only kept free by pumping her at short intervals.

The Hourly Temperatures.
Tie following are the hourly tenn neratures as recorded yesterday by the Weather Bureau thermometer on top oS tha poatoffice Building:

These temperatures were Ah tne shade, we'll ventilated exposures. At D. m., when 1t was 105 in the shade a thermometer in the sun registered Il? degrees. The thermometer in front Of The Advertiser office reached 120 and went out of business
 The brisk wind which prevailed dur ing the middle of the day was a veri- table sirocco. It seemed like blast from some fiery furnace.
 The weather observer says these hot winds were caused by the circulation of air from an area of nearly normal barometer over Arkansas and Northern Texas towards a decided depression on the Carolina coast Ordinarily, the out ward oirculat ton from an area of high pressure Is downward from the center and brings down cooler air from above, but yesterday the high" was so slight that the circulation was more of a sur face one, and the north winds which were received here brought with them air which had been greatly heated in it's passage over the hot. sunbaked earth. At this season tho coolest winds are those from the south.
 Fortunately, the humidity was very low yesterday being only 1T per cent during the hottest part of the day. and the effect of the dry air was not nearly so oppressive as had 1t been more high Iy charged with moisture. Had the humidity been high, the effect of the heat would have been appalling.
 The hot wave also covered the lower Missouri and Middle Mississippi Val leys yesterday.
 desiccating wind has been quite se- were on cotton and corn, which were not in the best condition to withstand such trying temperatures.

DROUGHT STILL PREVAILS
Eav Sold in Kansss City at v Cent !
 Pound n 7.l sS3,s'sis

Kansas City. Mo. July i2.--No rain fell today in any part of the drought stricken district consisting of all oi Kansas, Western Missouri Oklanome and Indian Territory. over much ot this region this was the worst day or the lonS hot spell. the temperature pe- Ing over a hundred. with no breeze.
 Corn. oats, hay and potatoes are so badly injured that even with rain the yield would be short and as the weather Bureau gives no hope Of re- lief. the outlook is disoouFagln6. Al some places in Kansas there mas been no rainfall whatever for three months. The present is the worst drought since lssO. when New kngIand sent food to the settlers of Kansas.However. the past few years have been very pros porous ones and even now the Kansas farmers are harvesting one or the largest crops of wheat, If not the IArs- est, in the history of the State. A great many counties send word that with rain corn Hill be half crop.-HiIhout rain soon, no yield. A few say there is yet hope for a fair harvest.
 Hay sold this morning for $2o ton. a cent a pound. the highest price ever reached in this market. This is all most as much per pound as wheat Is worth. Receipts were very small and most of the hay which came in was sold some time ago in the country be- fore the drought became so serious.

Unless the weather todd Soutrivals that of yesterday in tempe Cure. Fri day. July IF, promises to rrecorded as next to the hottest day in the his- tory of Montgomery. Even .the oldest. inhabitant" could recall but one day within the memory of living citizens when the mercury played above loo, the maximum temperature registered yesterday. On July 7th, 1881, the offi- cial thermometer showed a tempera- ture of 107. but 1t did not remain there a great while. For one hour yester- day afternoon, between and o'clock, the government thermometer of the Weather Bureau stood at 1eo and the people sweltered in the hot dry atmos- phere. ...-. -+
 Even <he Weather Observer, Mir.
 Frank P. Chaffee. who Is usually we'll
 poised, was, hot. He said he could give no assurande of immediate relief. In
 fact, Mir. Chaffee thinks the tempera-
 ture may range around 1o5 again today. Notwithstanding the extreme heat no
 prostrations were reported, and no one
 was taken ill on the streets. This Is said to be due to the unusually low
 humidity, which was recorded as IL yesterday afternoon, when the maxi
 mum degree of heat was reached. This extremely dry atmosphere caused the perspiration to evaporate almost in- stantly, and no bad effect was expe-
 rienced by the individual. Had the hu- | midity been normal. the effect of the | extremely high temperature would nc doubt have been dangerous.
 The rays of. the sun were intense. A brisk wind from the north was blowing during the middle of the day, and ex- I nosure, to the sun was almost unbear- able. It was observed that sunflowers | which are favored by warm weather had withered, and that the intensity oi l the heat had also withered leaves upon trees which are supposed to be faVoreo
 by extreme warmth.
 The hot wave which set in over this 1 region Thursday seemed to be focus l ing over Montgomery yesterday after noon. Indeed, at one time it seemed
 that a few more degrees of heat could
 not be withstood. It was especially
 trying on those who had to be moving
 around in the sun, while those who
 were obliged to perform any kind oi
 manual labor during such excessive
 heat would have actually suffered had
 it not been for a brisk dry wind which | prevailed.

rhs Weather in Kansas.

Topeka. Kas.. July 12.-The weather in Kansas continued very hot today, the highest temperature reported being 11O at Fort Scott. The heat was ac- companied by very light breeze from the south which came as from red hot furnace, blasting and whitening vegetation of all kinds. Crop reports from all parts of the State indicate that Kansas will not raise more than 50 .OOO. 900 bushels of corn this year. The crop will thus be less than third of last years yield and less than a fifth of 1899. Wheat Is nearly all in the stack. In many cases it has been har- vested only to be burned. AS much as 2e.O0O acres of wheat in the stack has heen burned during the last two weeks.
