TENTH DAY OF HEAT
STORMS BROUGHT RELIEF AT A
FEW POINTS.
No Considerable Fall in Temperature i, Ex.
peeted-iieayy Rain at New York Gave
That City Temporary Washington
the Warmest Place East of the Allegheny
Mountains.

Washington, July 8.-The 10th
day of the present heated term was
again scorcher, except where severe
thunder storms. local rains or violent
atmospheric changes brought cool
weather. In Arkansas, the eastern
Gulf states, Northern Ohio and New
York, thunder storms brought relief.
In Southeastern New England, also
cooler weather prevailed. the temper
ature falling from 6 to 10 degrees.
Tonight the weather bureau officials
say the only prospects for relief from
the heat lie in the occurrence of
storms. There is no promise, they
say, of general thunder storms suffi-
cent to make a general fall in the
temperature. Local thunder storms
will give temporary relief, but
weather bureau officials say that per-
manent relief will not come until
heavy storms or local rains prevail.
In Chicago promise of short re-
spite from the-heat is given. New
York today had two-inch downpour
of rain, which sent the thermometer
down to 76. East of the Allegany
mountains the temperature rose gen.
orally few degrees over the highest
of yesterday, and in portions of the
Southwest 1T warmed up, also in
Arkansas and Oklahoma, maximum
temperatures of over 100 being record
ed. Washington was the warmest
place east of the Alleghanies today,
the maximum temperature recorded
being 95. There was not much hu-
midity, but the day was very trying.
General John w. Darr, formerly Of
Fort Scott, Kan, who served on the
staff of General Garfield during the
civil war, is critically i'll from heat
prostration.

DISORDERS IN MEXICO CITY.
Anti.Clsrical Demonstration by Band Of
Students.

Mexico City, July 5.-The public
mind is much excited and the clergy
filled with Indignation over the re-
suits of the students anti-clerical
demonstration. The students to the
number of 300 held a public meeting.
Stirring speeches were made, showing
the intense feeling of the young men
and denouncing the recent immoral
tiles of the few priests, who, it was
claimed, had been shielded and not
punished.
A company of gendarmes preserved
order and the demonstration was wit
messed by Governor Coral, of the fed
eral district.
Precautions have been taken to pre-
vent further trouble, but it is believed
that if the several priests who are
publicly denounced in the the press
are not punished the young men may
make an attempt to invade the tenn
pies.

itary May Be Needed.

Vancouver, B. c., July 10.-The'
threatened trouble in connection with
the salmon canning industry reached
climax today. The fishermen and
the Gamers have been unable to
agree upon the remuneration to be
paid to the former for catching fish,
and, as was the case last year, the
fishermen, who are well organized,
have declared a strike The fisher
mems union comprises all the whites
and Indians who, by reason of many
years of service, have become experts
in working for the so canneries on
the Fraser river. The Gamers, un-
able to come to terms with the union
fishermen, have arranged to employ
japanese to catch salmon.
When the Japanese started out to
fish today the union men organized
a system of patrol boats, and every
Japanese found fishing was ordered to
desist and to return to shore A.
number of Japanese resisted this COM
mand, and fights occurred between
japanese and union men followed,
resulting in five broken heads for as
many japanese. None of the latter
are fatally injured, but all are pretty
well battered up.
Following this incident the Japan
ese held mass meeting, at which it
was decided that their entire strength
should be paraded tonight Conse-
quently l, 200 boats, each containing
three japanese, started simultaneous
ly this evening from the fishing vii
lage of Stevenson IA miles from VAN
eouver. Twenty-Five special police
men were sworn in besides the regular
force at Steveston, but these proved
inadequate to restrain the union men.
The union patrol of 300 boats is ar
ranging to follow the Japanese at
midnight and both sides significantly
agree that the matter will be settled
before morning. All the japanese
are armed and so are the whites.
There is talk of calling out the mi
litia, but it is ikley that the trouble
will be settled, whether with or with
out bloodshed, before military force
could be got to the scene of the
trouble.

Gomez, Then Annexation.

given tonight at the Union League
club to General Maximo Gomez and
General T. Estrada Palma, by w. E.

eral Palma was the head. The Cuban
general made brief speech, which
was interpreted by General Gonzales.
General Gomez said he was deeply
touched by the remarkable reception
he had received in the United States.
Cuba and the United States, said the
general, belong together. 1t is only
question of gravitation when they
will be one But at present, after the
great struggle in which thousands of
lives were sacrificed, and when men
returned to their homes only to find
their wives and children starved to
death. in the restricted barriers in
which Weyler had them under his
policy of concentration, they felt that
they must have Cuban libre. It is
now fully realized. He said that
Cuba cannot get along without the
United States, but the Gubans want
to feel freedom
After dinner General Gomez said to
the newspaper men that he wished to
express his gratitude to the press OF
the United States and of the world for
the great good they had done to the
cause of Cuban ibre. He was sure
that the Cubans would now establish
their own government, and would
show the gratitude they feel for the
help of the Americans in removing
the Spanish yoke.

spoke he moved to the sideboard and
