UNUSUAL RAINFALL.
Precipitation Yesterday Greater Than
 at Any Time This Year

The rainfall of yesterday was the greatest of the present year in the same space of time Rain began falling about 8 o'clock in the morning, and up to the same hour in the evening there had been a precipitation of just 1,O4 inches. This is an exceptionally large amount for a space of twelve hours, and like amount has scarcely, if ever, fallen in the same length of time in this vicinity. The downfall was almost incessant dur ing the entire day.
 The storm began somewhere in Texas on Friday and came this way, being in St. Louis on Saturday morning and in Ohio on Saturday night It cannot now be definitely stated just how long it will continue, but the local indications are that the weather will not clear up until some time this afternoon or to- morrow, A season of very warm wealth CT can be expected to follow.
 On account of the storm many sched- uled events were postponed and the merchants at the shore suffered losses. They have not had the most propitious weather for their particular line of bus mess this season, and unless there is a sudden change to warmer days and nights some of them will suffer finan- cial losses.

RENEWAL OF TRIPLE ALLIANCE
Comment of the French Press-vicvyed
 With EGunntmity.

Paris, June 29-The French press halls the renewal of the triple alliance between Germany, Austro- Hungary and Italy, which was effected by the signing of treaty in Berlin yesterday with considerable equanimity and expressed the belief that the strength of the alli- ance has been much enfeebled by dis sensions with regard to tariff questions and a better understanding between Italy and France The press considers moreover that the existence of a Fran co-Russian alliance deprives the triple alliance of it's originally aggressive character. The Temps says:
 "A tariff war is about to graft itself on this political alliance, and the fu- ture will teach us how far an economic war is compatible with diplomatic un- derstanding Recent developments have singularly modified, if not the cor dialitv and intimacy between the DOW CTS of the triple alliance, at least the eff ficacy and practical value of the league"
 Le Journal des Debats is convinced that the new alliance will not be the same as the old one and recalls the declaration of Signor Prinetti, the Ital- ian minister of foreign affairs, in the Italian chamber of deputies that mo military or diplomatic conventions will be appended to the new treaty." This paper concludes by saying: "The triple alliance has been renewed under un- favorable conditions and these should be taken into account, not only in con- sidering it's present renewal, but with regard to the prospects of a further re- newal of the alliance later"

PRES. MITCHELL IN CHICAGO
TO SETTLE SEVERAL DISPUTED
 QUESTIONS IN ILLINOIS.
faotoriIy as Cam be Expected- Sfili Reticent Regarding the Coming Con- vention im IndianapoIis-O Operators Declare They Are Making Progress.

Declare They Are Making Progress.
 Chicago, June 29,-Presdent Mitchell
 of the United Mine Workers of America,
 arrived in Chicago to-day and will be
 here several days. When asked the ob- ject of his visit to Chicago, MT. Mitchell
 said he came to settle several questions
 in dispute in the Illinois coal fields.
 These matters, he thought, would be disposed of tomorrow.
 Mr. Mitchell said matters were pro- l gressing as satisfactorily as could be
 expected in the anthracite fields iii | Pennsylvania. Regarding the action of | the coming convention in Indianapolis,
 he declared he had nothing to say, as he 1 had no idea what action the special con-
 vention would take.
 Mir. Mitchell will go to Saginaw,
 Mich, Tuesday to meet the miners off,
 cials of Michigan and the operators of | that state with view of settling the | strike which has been in progress there since last April. He expects to be again
 in Wilkesbarre, Pa, not later than next | Friday.
 | Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 29.-The be- ginning of the eighth week of the an- thracite miners strike shows no change | in the situation. At President Mitch ell's headquarters John Fallon, national board member is in charge during MT. Mitchell's absence in the west. MT | Fallon said that the miners were just as determined as ever and unless there was arbitration the strike is destined to go on. The national board member also denied that there was any suffering among the strikers. He said so far there was no prvation and not likely to be any for long time to come. The local operators seem to be unanimous in saying that strike among the strikers may come at any time.
 An attempt will be made to start at least three washeries in in the Wyo- ming region tomorrow One operator said tonight that the number of wash cries now in operation was greater than at any time since the strike began, and that there was only one step between operating a washery and a eelliery. Sooner or later, he thought, an attempt would be made to start up mine.
 The Wilkesbarre lace mill, which has been idle for ten days, will resume work tomorrow. The mill employs eleven hundred hands, mostly girls Because the superintendent would not discharge five girls whose fathers and brothers were working as n-union men in the mines the other employees quit work. The superintendent of the mill then an- nounced that there would be no work until further notice. Last night he was waited upon by committee and tenn porary agreement was reached bywhich all hands will return to work Tuesday. In the meantime it is thought perma- nent settlement will be reached,
 While a number of coal and iron po- licemen who are guarding the Noting ham mine of the Lehigh and Wilkes barre Coal company at Plymouth were cleaning their firearms this morning one of the guns went off and bullet struck one of the officers in the side, in- nicting a very serious wound.

FIRE IN YALE BANK BUILDING.
Blnzc on the Fourth FIoor-Chemfcnus
 Long Trip.


 Last night shortly after 10 o'clock fire was discovered in the top floor of the Yale National bank building, State and Chapel streets, by Policeman John Welch, who was standing at that cor ner. Policeman Welch ascended the four flights of stairs and broke in the door of the Hillhouse high school soci- ety, Gamma Delta Psi whose rooms are on that floor. The fire was in the cor ner room of the suite and is supposed to have been started by a cigarette. It burned a window-seat cushion and did little damage, although the blaze was a big one and easily seen from the street.
 Owing to the torn-up condition of the street at that corner the tiremen had difficulty in manipulating their engines about the place. The chemical station ed at No. 2's house in Artizan street travelled thirteen blocks to get to the scene of the fire, where a run of three blocks would have ordinarily brought them to a good place from which they could fight the blaze. The engine went from it's headquarters to Union street and then to Chapel, but on account of the tear-up at the next corner the driv- CT went down to Wooster and then to State. The engine couldn't approach the fire from that direction, so 1t head ed for Center street and then followed the route over Orange to Chapel, to State.
 The firemen had 10 halt in front of the Why restaurant, which was too great a distance from the fire to be reached by the hose Wasting no sec onds, the driver headed his horses up Chapel street to Orange and dashed down that street a block to Court street and then to State, and again headed for the fire, only to be informed by the captain of No. 2s engine that it was all over

KING GAINING IN STRENGTH
HIS SATISFACTORY PROGRESS
 STILL CONTINUES.

Feels Stronger in Spite of Discomfort from the Wound Early In the Day Watchers Outside the Place Owing to the Hopeful Outlook-Expressio of ThankfuIness- Celebrations to Begin. London, June 29-9:06 A. M.-The fol- lowing bulletin regarding the condition of King Edward was issued from Buck ingham palace at o'clock this morn- ing:
 ''The king feels stronger, in spite Of some discomfort from the wound. Mo- thing has occurred to disturb the satis- factory progress the king is making.
 ''Treves,
 "Laking
 Barlow"
 The bulletin posted at Buckingham palace at 4 o'clock this afternoon said the kings progress was in every way satisfactory and that the local discom- fort had decreased.
 The kings physicians announced at twenty minutes of ten tonight that the royal patients progress was entirely satisfactory. No further bulletins will be issued tonight.
 Last night passed with less incident and there were fewer watchers outside Buckingham palace than any other night since the operation, the public ap- parently having accepted the official an- nouncement of yesterday that King Ed ward has passed the point of immedi- ate danger
 The bulletin issued this morning at 9 o'clock was not expected until 10 o'clock, consequently the few persons who were passing in the neighborhood of the palace were the only ones at tracted to the announcement. When the footman had posted the notice, how ever, the crowds soon gathered, early churchgoers stopping to read the latest news and passing on with expressions of thankfulness.
 The king to-day was again success fully transferred from his bed to movable couch.
 Several postponed functions are being re-arranged. Lord and Lady Lans- downe announce that their reception will be held July 1. The king has com manded that the Prince and Princess of Wales shall represent their majestes at the Indian office reception to be held July 1.
 Lord Cranborne authorizes the fol- lowing statement: 1.-The king is rapid ly getting better and the moment, therefore, seems most appropriate for public rejoicing. As chairman of the bonfires committee suggest that bon fires throughout the country be lighted Monday night
 London, June 30.-A despatch to the Daily Mail from Copenhagen says that Queen Alexandra has invited the depu- tation of Danish Hussars to return to London the end of September for the coronation of the king.

ernmeht Shactys
 Cape Haytien, Hayti June 29.-There has been much fighting here to-day and great excitement prevails. Admiral Killick, commander of the Haytian fleet, disembarked further detachment of troops and large quantity of am muntion at o'clock this morning for the further protection of General Fir min, one of the candidates for the pres idency of the republic. Since 6 o'clock this morning there have been several lively engagements between the men from the fleet and the revolutionists from the north. Several machine guns were set up in a commanding position by General Firmn's forces and an at tempt was made to drive the men from the north from their position. Not withstanding the fire from the machine guns, detachments of the northern rev. olutionists made several attacks on General Firmin's followers and the lat ter were eventually dislodged.
 Tn the meantime the vessels under the command of Admiral Killick were bombarding Cape Haytien. This action was taken without previously having notified the foreign consuls here. There has been a lively rain of shots down the streets of Cape Haytien all day long. The firing was particularly heavy be- tween noon and o'clock and between and o'clock this afternoon.
 At the moment of filing this dispatch the foreign consuls, under the protec- ton of their various flags, are with General Firmin and are about to em- bark on the government gunboat Crete A. Pierot. They are under rather heavy fire and in considerable danger, The foreign residents of this port are at present exposed to the lawlessness and savagery of the combatants.
 Deep regret is expressed that no war ship of foreign power Is in the harbor at present to afford protection to for eign residents Great excitement reigns here this afternoon, and es this dispatch is sent the firing in the streets eontin- ues.
