NEW YORK, May 10.-With almost
the intensity Of an August heat the
u beat down on the city yesterday,
and when the mercury rose to Il de-
grees the day became the hottest of
1901. The humidity was great, and
this made the day more uncomforta-
bic. The citizens who were wearing
wooden underwear and winter suits
fairly roasted, and electric fans We're
turned on, and gin rickeys were passed
over the bars just the same as in July
days. The heat drew out a few straw
hats toward the afternoon, and many
persons who had brought umbrellas
down town, anticipating rain, hoisted
them to protect themselves from the
SUMS rays. r..

SENATOR CROSS SAID TO
BE SLATED FOR JUDGESHIP.

Trenton, May Ex-senator Joseph Gross,
of Union county Is regarded as having a
very good chance for the United States
District Court Judgeship made vacant
by the death of Judge Kirkpatrick.
1t is said that Senator Cross was
promised the place when a vacancy should
occur, In return for his casting the de-
Gliding vote for John f. Dryden In the
last United States Senatorial contest. 1t
will be recalled that Senator Cross
"%flopped" from John W. Griggs as soon
as it was manifested that his vote would
elect Mr.. Dryden.
There is, of course, a possibility that
Senator Kean will not consent to the
elevation OF Senator Cross, as it might
mean the loss of a Republican vote in the
Legislature next winter when Mr.. Kean
expects to be a candidate to succeed him
self.
Union county has lately shown a dis
position to return to its Democratic bear
ings, and as Senator Kean Is particularly
unpopular there, the county might elect
q Democratic Senator this fall. This sit.
uation may work to the detriment of Sen
ator Cross.
