RosEBERRY TALKS TARIFF.
Demands Information as to the Cabi'
 nets Plans.


 nets Plans.
 London, July 2.-Lord Rosebery. in the House of Lords this afternoon renewed the debate on the preferential tariff prop ositions, making further request for in- formation regarding the cabinets plans In the course of a long speech he ridi- culed Colonial Secretary Chamberiains s pi ogram and said he did not believe the government intended to prosecute any in quiry into the matter. The allegations that such an inquiry was being made were, said Lord Rosebery. mostly cloak to screen the irreconciliable differences between the Colonial Secretary and the other members of the cabinet and he de- manded to know whether the inquiry would be definite and organized, whether it would be individual or collective and whether the results would be published. The Duke of Devonshire. Lord President of the Council, said 1t was impossible now to give the exact scope of the in uuiry Several heads had been suggested by Mir. Chamberlain and MT. Balfour. The government had determined that the inquiry should be full and satisfactory. His lordship declined to enter further upon the subject without more explicit and longer notice than Lord Rosebery had seen fit to give In precipitating today's discussion.
 He could say that the position of the government at D: esent was somewhat dif- ferent from that of MT. Chamberlain, but they did not conflict. The whole cabinet had agreed that the time was ripe for an investigation of the possibilities of a closer fiscal union with the colonies.

CUBAN CoALINa STATIONS.
Navy Department Anxious That
 Work Begin on Them.


 Work Begin on Them.
 Washington. July 2.-Secretary Moody expressed great satisfaction at the news from Havana of the signing of the coal stations treaty. This document has been the subject of many exchanges between the two Governments and the task of completing 1t to the satisfaction of both Governments has been a tedious one.
 It Is earnestly hoped that the Cuban Senate before its adjournment will ratify the treaty, as the Navy Department is anxious to proceed at once with work on the station. Preliminary surveys of the land in fact already have been made at Guantanamo. and the Olympia has been retained Tn Caribbean waters to be ready to land men and begin the work as soon as the authorization comes from Washington.
 About s100.000 is immediately available for the beginning of work at Guantan- amo. and will be used probably in the construction of a wharf, barracks for a marine guard of perhaps 100 men and a small hospital. The general board is giv- ing most careful consideration to plans for this station, as it Is the Secretary's s wish that the work be thoroughly planned and carefully executed.
 What will be done with Bahia Honda is yet uncertain, though the chances are that if will be used chiefly as headquar- ters for marines The report that the War Department will be given entire charge is very emphatically denied.

AFTER HEAT
 COMES STORM New York Has a Terrible
 Day, SEVEN DEATHS RESULT Wind Does Damage and Rain
 and Hail Fall. Laborer Struck by . Flying Plank and Knocked Into East River. Woman Dashed Against
 Flat Iron Building.
SEVEN DEATHS RESULT

New York, July "A terrific storm to- day followed a period of intense heat. There were four deaths from the heat to- day, and a score or more of prostrations. Already three deaths, directly traceabie to the storm, have been reported, and many persons caught in the fury or the wind were injured.
 At one time the gale blew at the rate of seventy-two miles an hour in the up- per part of New York, according to the Weather Bureau. Many places were struck by lightning. which played con- tinuously for an hour or more.
 A great section of the Manhattan Field fence was blown down and there was al- most a panic among the thousands of men and women who had gathered at the polo grounds adjoining to witness the New York-St. Louis ball game.
 Polo Grounds Flooded.
 The polo grounds were flooded with a foot of water, the game was called on and the attention of the officials and po- lice directed to getting the half panic stricken baseball spectators to place of safety.
 A wind of extremely high velocity swept down from west to east. uprooting trees. smashing plate glass windows. blowing all kinds of damage. Rain and hall fell in torrents. Fannie Kinsler. 6 years old, blinded by rain, ran under q wagon and was killed.
 John Dominick, laborer. was knocked into the East River by plank which had been picked up by the wind. and he was drowned.
 The wind swept the embers of bonfire, kindled by a number of boys, over the pinafore of Clarence Hadden, years old, and he was burned to death.
 Dashe2 Against Building.
 Miss Mary carman was dashed by the wind against the Flatiron building and so severely injured that she had to bc taken to the New York Hospital
 Among the places struck by lightning or damaged by the gale were the Church of the Divine Paternity in Central Park west. the Hotel Normandie. the Lancas- ter apartment house in West End Ave- nue and the Arbuckle building in Water Street A squall overturned a catboat at Sandy Hook. Launches from Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht Erin were sent out at once to the boats assistance and several men and women were rescued and the catboat was taken in tow.

CLOUD BURST IN TEXAS.
Believed That About Twenty Persons
 Lost Their Lives.


 San Antonio. Tex. July "A cloud burst today visited the southwestern section of Dexas. causing the death of several persons and entailing a heavy property loss
 No accurate reports of the loss of life can be obtained. as the telegraph wires are down in the storm-swept section. but enough is known to warrant the belief that at least 20 persons. mostly Mexi- can laborers and farmers have perished in the flood At BeevilIe one Mexican was swept away. Near Normana ten Mexican farmers are reported drowned and twelve more are said to have been drowned at Pettus.
 The heaviest damage was sustained by the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Rail- road. Several thousand feet of its tracks and one large bridge were swept away. Train service has been suspended in the affected district.
 The flood, which was the result of tre- mendous rains that have been falling con- tinually in Southwestern Texas since Tuesday last, swept down Medic Creek Valley, submerging land and railway tracks to a depth of six feet! The towns of Normanna and Pettus were completely inundated. Many thousand acres of corn and cotton land were swept by the tor rent and 1t is reported that the crops will be a total loss. The tracks of the Southern Pacific and the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railroads are washed out at many points and several bridges were destroyed.
 Early reports of great loss of life at Beeville are known to be untrue. careful inquiry showing that not more than one fatality occurred. A portion of the town was submerged by the rapid overflow of Poesta Creek and a number of houses, mainly small Mexican jacals, were wash ed away. The property damage in Bee vile Is placed at $50,0O0.

cAss1NI SEES LOOMS.
Conference at the State Department
 Not Binding.

Washington. July 2.-It developed dur ing the visit of Count Cassini at the State Department that he was discussing with MT. Loomis the statement issued last night relative to the Jewish petition and Manchuria, not by any instruction from his government or in his formal capacity, and Mir. Loomis's remarks were under the same conditions. so that the substance of the conference was a simple repetition of the published statements of the probable course and attitude of the two countries regarding the petition and a meeting rather in the way furnishing information than with the intent of binding either party to an understanding.
 Thus 1t appeared that Russia still con- sistently held to the theory that she, like the United States. held that there should be no interference in the internal affairs of nations. However. both par ties parted in the greatest good humor, which was a source of qualification as 1t will probably be their last meeting be- fore the Ambassador sails for Europe.

Decision was re- served.

CHARLES ALaER coLLAPsEs.
Not Known Whether Heat or Drug,
 is the Cause.

Detroit, Mich, July 2.-Charles Alger. postmaster of Hannibal. Mo. lies at the residence of his brother. United States Senator Alger. in this city. in a semi conscious condition. and physicians are unable to determine whether he is suf- fering from the effects of excessive heat or from a drug administered by revenge full enemies, It Is said MT. Alger has been instrumental in suppressing the work of so-called green goods" men who have operated in Missouri of late, and 1t is feared his condition is the result of drugs they may have secretly admins tered to him. It is believed Mir. Alger came in contact with a representative of the green goods men in Cleveland. At a hotel in that city, 1t Is said. he was erable sum of money. -4eter, while pay ing his bill at the cashiers desk, he was taken i'll, and when he reached Detroit was partially unconscious.

Copenhagen. July 2-Many officers and men of the United States European squadron, now anchored off Kallund- borg, visited this city today. Excursions to points of interest were organized and the visitors were the centre of attraction for the populace, which evidenced in every way kindly feeling for the Ameri- cans.
 The officers of the American warships unite in expressing their appreciation of the courtesies extended to them at Kiel, but they say they are much in need of rest after the extended round of Ger man hospitality.

TURBINES PROVE PUZZLE.
Preparations of Plans for War Shin
 so Equipped are Suspended.

Washington. July 2.-The preparation of plans for warship of the turbine class designed to be the swiftest large vessel in the American navy and to be used as a scout, Is suspended temporarily owyinr to the discovery that In the calcuIationa of the experts the increase in the size of the turbine Is much more rapid than the increase in power. which Is a reversal of the ordinary practice of mechanics ana that the turbine required would take ,lp far more space than is available under any protected deck.
 Although active plans have ceased for the time being the project has not been abandoned. The provision for successful ly reversing the turbine ship has been met by the navy designers through the combination of an English turbine for ths forward motion and an American to back the ship.

THE POSTAL DEFICIENCY.
Auditor Castle Estimates It at B.
 6l7,2O2.

Washington, July 2.-Captain Castle. the Auditor of the Treasury for the Post office Department today made the official estimate that the postal deficiency for the fiscal year just closed will be sA6l7. .202. The deficit for the previous fiscal year was $2.e61.170. This big increase is attrib- uted to the enormous increase in expen- ditures for the rural free delivery ser vice during the past year.
 The receipts of the postal service for the year were $134,6 S,609. and the expendit- ures $1Ss s.sS5,s12. The deficit In the free delivery service is not yet definitely known beyond the estimate made weeks ago by the Postmaster General that 1t would be $227000 by the close of the fiscal year. The deficiency, however. may prove considerably larger than that figure.
 Postmaster General Payne. accompa- nied by Mrs. Payne. left this afternoon for the Catskills. They will return here Tuesday night. MT. Payne stated that Is felt much better despite the severe heat.
