Ninety-FOur Degrees.
Yesterday was cloudy and cooler The
early morning temperature was high
enough, so being the figures furnished
by Schnepf, but the rise thereafter was
very gradual, and the heat was not felt
nearly SO badly as upon previous days,
this being due to two causes: lower
range and a less degree of humidity.
Last evening the warmth was more ap-
parent than during the day, and an
eleven O'Clock temperature of 81 gave
promise of a reasonably hlgh thermom-
eter to-day, and a guarantee that July
would go out almost as hot as it came
lin. It has certainly been a warm
mon.n, with an average of "a degrees

and minimum of II, these figures hav-
ing exclusive reference to top readings
of the thermometer. Such an era of hot
weather is probably without a parallel
in the upper Ohio valley. At ten
O'Clock last night the barometer was
1882 inches, with a tendency to rise.
At one O'Clock the city was visited by a
heavy rain which cooled the atmosphere
to great extent.

final cadence of benediction there was a mighty
shout from thousands of throats, and the new

The crowds around st. Paurs and Ludgate Hill
were denser and more mischievous and the

Buffalo, Jan. IA moment before the City
Hall clock struck the hour of midnight and
ushered in the twentieth century and the Tooth
anniversary of Buffao's birth there was a dis
play of electric lights on the top OF the Pru-
Dental Building, the highest structure in the
city. This was the signal direct from the Wash
ington Observatory to mark the new years
birth, and the instant it was given the salute OF
1O1 bombs in Lafayette Park was fired. 1t was
the signal for the widest scenes of noisy demon
stration ever witnessed in Buffalo. The noise OF
horns, guns cannon and fireworks which
marked the celebration early In the evening was
eclipsed by the quadrupled efforts of a similar
nature which continued for more than an hour.
Crowds lined Main-st. and filled the roadway,
while all were nearly deafened by the noise and
the "Tenderloins went wild
The parade formed in front of the City Hall
at 1880 O'Clock and was timed so accurately
that Lafayette Park reached as the salute
was being fired. The people disappointed
because the 65th and 74th regiments did not
parade as military organizations. but this was
inevitable. because the request to parade was
made on too short notice Members OF the regi-
ments. however. paraded individuals. The
Sprudel Fishing Clubs 80 members were
dressed in ancient garb, and gave carcatures Of
the city's progress in the last one hundred years.

wheels of which directed by an automobile
steering gear, the power being furnished by a
skeleton horse. who pushed against thills fast
ened TO the rear axle.
The crowds along the line OF march almost
equalled those that witnessed the Grand Army
Of the Republic parade here in 1897. and then
the spectators eclipsed in numbers any who ever
assembled here before. Special trains were run
from all nearby country towns. and many pock-
cts were picked by thieves. All the office build
ings and public structures in the lower part of
the city were illuminated. and most OF the pri-
vate residences. Watch night services We're held

San Francisco. Jan. 1.-San Francisco ushereA
IN the new century with great enthusiasm,
though there was a noticeable absence of the
rowdyism which made the last years celebration
notorious. Police Chief Sullivan placed five men
at each corner of Marsef-st. and ten along each
block, and these officers promptly suppressed the
exuberant hoodlums who yearn TO kiss stray
girls or to switch bits OF Christmas trees in the
faces of passersby.
There was general illumination OF the large
business buildings. and many residences were
beautifully lighted up. In churches and halls
watch night meetings were held. and midnight
was heralded with cIamOr of bells and of horns
that could have been heard many~miles. Among
the prominent meetings those ;of the So
ciety of the Red Cross. at which contributions
were solicited for the endowment OF the National

hideous was appalling for four hours.
AT the meeting Of the women of the Red Cross
Mayor Phelan delivered address and Camille

America was sung by the entire company. At
the Young Mems Christian Association Hall the
largest crowd of the evening was gathered. The
services were under the charge OF the Calvary
Presbyterian congregation. Among the speakers
were the Rev. John Hemphill. OF this city, and
Frederick B. Smith, Of Chicago. The feature OF
the evening the reading by the Rev. George
C. Adams of Colonel Roosevelt's message TO the
young men of the twentieth century In all the
Methodist churches special praise services were
held and the congregations were large. The
city did not regain its usual quiet until far

MAY EXONERATE COLVILE.
EVIDENCE THAT HE WAS THE VICTIM OF
A BOGUS TELEGRAM

London. Dec 3f.-Since his arrival in London
Major General Sir Henry ColviIe has received
information tending TO show that Lieutenant
Colonel Spragge actually received forged tele-
gram, purportng 10 be signed by General Col
vile dated Lindley, May 23. saying:
am badly i'm want OF mounted troops. Come
here at once.
The above telegram sent off three days
before General Colvile reached Lindley and was
the cause of Lieutenant-Coonel Spragge hasten
ing there.
One OF the principal charges against General
Covie is that. after appealing to the Yeomanry
for help he abandoned them TO their fate.
81 never heard of this telegram, said General
Col.ile, until now. But ii explains the mystery
of my alleged message to Colonel Spragge. IL
was known at the time that some one was tain-
peripg with the wires near Lindley.
General Colyile reported himself at the war
Office to-day. General Sir Evelyn Wood, the
Adjutant-General. merely sent subordinate TO

ARMLS1ICE IN CHINA.
PROTESTS AGAINST THE MILITARY OP-

London. Dec. 31.-A dispatch 20 'srhe PaIl
Mall Gazette' from Peking. dated December
80 says armistice has been proclaimed.

Washington. Dec. 31.-The officials here
puzzled TO account for the announcement of an
armstice from PeSing before the Chinese
swer, which asked for IL. had been receive5 by
the Ministers there for they assume that that
answer was not received until last night. How
ever, il is suggested that the rather vigorous
expressions of dissatisfaction by some of the
Powers at the prosecution of the military raids
upon Chinese who are showing no disposition TO
attack foreigners may have had some effect at
last. The State Department has sent a strong
instruction TO Minister COnger directly in line
with the Chinese request for a suspension or
military excursions. IL is not "armiStice."
technically speaking. that is looked for now,
but merely suspension of military activity.
Were the Powers formally TO consent to
''armstce" they thereby would commit them
selves 10 a recognition of the existence of actual
with China, and there are strong reasons
why such a committal should be avoided, If
pOSSible.

of the city. from the Battery to the Bronx, not

Fireworks there were Also and fine electrical
displays from several buildings, notably from
the City Hail. Flags and bunting decorated the

repeated in lesser degree on hotels office build

an anniversary which they probably would
never again. Mothers whose babes
born in the last week began to have hopes that
the little ones would live to see three centuries
and get their pictures the elevated stations
and in the newspapers.
Those more gravely inclined were found by the
thousand at prayer praise within the churches
