100 Above in the Streets.

AS usual. the maximum official tenn
peratures were exceeded by those pre-
vaiing in the crowded streets. where
the actual temperature frequently
exceeded 100 degrees
The cumulative effect of the tOrrid-
ity OF these days was painfully eVl-
dent in the enormous increase of the
number of deaths in New York. While
2G. that of yesterday reached the ap~
ralling total of Is, being nearly half
OF those prostrated. This was almost
due entirely to the collapse of young
children and aged persons whose OK
haustcd vitality was unequal to IN"
strain of further suffering.
Hospitals Are Crowded.
After night of sweltering heat
spent by thousands in the streets, in
the public parks, on piers along the
river front and in every vacant place
that promised breath of air the con
ditions that confronted the people of
New York yesterday morning were
terrific The sun rose in cloudless
Sky, and hour after hour the heat
grew more and more intense. Every
ambulance was kept busy. and by
noon the hospitals We're crowded with
sufferers. At o'clock in the after
noon came the long g-looked-for relief
when a terrific thunderstorm and
deluge of rain burst over Brooklyn
and the lower part of Manhattan and
sections of New Jersey. In Brooklyn
two men were struck by lightning
and seriously hurt, and in Jersey City
cne man was killed. While the storm
,asted but few minutes and left the
upper part of the city untouched, the
relief was almost instantaneous, and
from then on the mercury fell steadi-
lv and cool breeZes springing up after
sundown gave assurances OF COM
Portable night.
Even the seashore resorts in the VI
cinitv of New York did not escape the
heat and many prostrations occurred
among the thousands that focked to
Coney Island and other beaches.
Insane From Heat, She Killed Baby.
Among the distressing incidents OF
the day was the killing OF her in
FAINT in Brooklyn by young woman
who was suddenly driven insane by
the heat She stabbed the child to
death and then made vain attempt
on her own life.
Several of the deaths reported were
those of persons who had fallen While
asleep from fire escapes, where they
had taken refuge to escape the heat OF
crowded tenements. With $50 bodies
in the cold storage room at the city
moreue. the refrigerating system was
found to be out of order yesterday
and it was necessary to resort to the
use of tons of ice, in which the bodies
were packed, and so bodies were hur-
riedly shipped to the potter's field.

that, owing to Japan's successes in the.

still exists as Japanese property. The
Japanese property actually destroyed
during the war is probably fully Off;
set, in value, by the property-guns,
equipment, ships, etc.-talsen from.
the Russians, Of which not one dol.
lars worth will ever again become
Russian property.
The pertinent question Just now Is,
can Japan meet the annual interest Of
about Si4,0O0,0o6 on her public debt?
Prior TO the war Japan's annual
budget expenditures averaging $685..
100000, were regularly provided 70.
and met. Those budgets included an
annual interest charge Of sci 100000.
1t is therefore fair TO presume that
Japan, as heretofore will be able to
take care Of sci 100000 Of the si4,.
100000 interest, out of her ordinary
revenues. The remaining S23.oO0,0OO
has been more thanIprovided for BY
reductions In public works and other
internal expenditures whick could
safely be deferred by extraordinary
taxes, and by judicious increases In
import tariff rates.
In a good many ways In Japan, as
IN the United States, credit answers
the purpose Of money. For instance
Japan has not had to send actual
coin, TO any extent 10 Manchuria for
the. support Of her army there. Japan.
csc war notes have answered the pur.
pose. At the present time. s25,OOO,.
600 worth Of these notes are in circu.
lation in Manchuria, and they are at
par with silver. Before tho great Jap.
anese victory at Mukden those notes
were at a discount Of from 10 TO 20
per cent.
Japan's budget for next year calls
for and provides for expenditures Tor.
binary. including interest) Of about
s190,000,000. Interest will take about
90 per, cent. of it. This is not so bur.
densome On Japan with her 100000
population, as is Mexico's interest
charge Of 20 per cent. of her revenues.
on her population of about 10, 100000.
For a country (Japan) which has
fought and gained one war, and is now

ten years, this is far better result
than Mexico's 20 per cent. for coul.
try which has been at peace. internal,
