JAPANESE ARE GRATEFUL
Tenor of an Article In the Toxic
Iiochi Welcoming Secretary fatt
and Party to Japan.

Toxic, July 25.-The Hochi, Count
Okuma's newspaper organ. publishes
g leading article welcoming the Taft
party and gratefully recalling what the
United States has been to the Japanese
since the time of Commodore Perry
an unerring guide and friend. The
policy of the United States toward
Japan, the article says, has been an
unbroken record of kindly assistance,
politically and commercially. In fact,
in all departments OF the progress OF
modern Japan, Americas help is clear
ly ~traceable. Especially President
R~oosevelt's successful en%deavoring in
bringing the peace plenipotentiaries to-
gether adds a memorable chapter to
the already magnificent record Of
Americas invaluable aid to Japan.
The paper regrets that the short
ness of the party's stay will not admit
of an adequate manifestation of the
general feeling of gratitude and appre-
citation toward the government and
people TO which the distinguished par
ty belongs.
The Hochi leader is typical of the
feeling throughout the empire.

The Worst Ever Experienced in Ne
vada, Destroying Everything
in Its Course.

Elko, New, July 25.-The most de-
tructive wind storm ever known to
have occurred in Nevada has swept
over the country just west of Seattle

its course. Trees, sage brush and
fences were swept away, and So tele-
graph poles of the Southern Pacific
and Western Union Telegraph compa-
MES were twisted into spllnters. Its
north end touched the town of Battle

CLoUDBURsI IN MISSOURI
Jasper County Visited By Il Cloud-
burst That Did Damage Esti-
mated at S15O,OOO.

Joplin, Mo, July 21.-A %cloudburst,
Thursday, caused Spring river to rise
IS feet in a few hours, the water roll
ing down the valley in a wall that
high, driving many residents of the
lowlands at Carthage and Hendricks
town to the hills and railroad bridges.

mated at $15J,O00. One life was lost
that Of Calvin Rudy, a teamster,
drowned while attempting to ford a

THE WIDESPREAD HOT WAVE
1t Had the ERec of Retarding Dis-
tributive Trade, But stimu-
lated Crop Growth.

New York, July 22.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
A widespread hot wave has retarded
distributive trade and interfered with
manufacturing industry, but has slim
ulated crop growth and thereby
strengthened the outlook for fall trade.
Retail trade in summer goods has been
benefited, as has also summer
resort business. Wholesale and job
bling trade is Of good volume, consid-
ering the weather, and compares we'll
with a year ago. Confidence in fall
trade is unimpaired and there is a more
liberal tendency in placing fall orders.
The quieting in industry is merely Of
a temporary character. Manufacturing
is really more active than usual at
this time, and summer shut downs are
not such a feature this year as In for
mer periods.

EXCESS OF EXPENDITURES
Government Running at n Loss, But
Situation Will Soon Equal
ize Itself.

Washington, July 22.-For the first
20 days of the present month the treas
ury deficit has reached an amount in
excess of one-half the whole deficit for
the last fiscal year. The deficit at the
close of business July 20 reached $751;
35S, 235.29. This deficit Is shown in the
daily treasury statement under the
item excess Of expenditures yer re-
ceipts this fiscal year"
Counting out Sundays and legal hol-
idays, it would appear that the gov
ernment is operating at a loss Of ST.
900, 900 per day. This, however, does
lot create the interest, and has moth
ing of the sensationalism in it that
might be supposed. Every year, imme-
diately after July /, there Is a rush on
the treasury and a great drain on its
sources. This grows out of the fact
that on the first day of the fiscal year
the appropriations made by the last
congress become available.
The situation will ~equalize itself be-
fore the close Of the year.

STILL BURNING FIERCELY.
Twelve Persons Believed to lave
Lost Their Lives.

Houston, Tex, July 25.-The fire in
the Humble oil fields is still burning
fiercely, but it remains confined to the
tanks of the Texas company. While
no names are ~ascertainable, 1t is be-
lieved that IL persons lost their lives.
So far as can be learned, these were all
negroes who were employed in trying
to prevent the spread of the flames.
Forty-three mules are known to have
persisted. The managers of the Texas
company state that the tanks contained
approximately $500, 900 barrels Of oil
which was valued at about rs cents per
barrel, and that none of the oil will be
saved. In addition, they say the big
pumping plant at the tanks was en-
tirely destroyed, making a total loss OF
more than $500, 900. The efforts of the
fire fighters have been confined to
throwing up earthen entertainments be-
tween the berning tanks, of which there
are eleven, and those in which 1000, OOO
barrels of oil belonging to other com
panies are stored.

THE HUMBLE, TEX
CONGREGATION
A Number of Lives Lost and Mill
ions in Property Destroyed.
THE FIRE STILL SPREADING
Hundreds of People Rendered Home
less, With the Loss of All Their
BeIongings-A Thousand Wen
Fighting n Fire.

Dallas, Tex, July Pa bulletin
from Dustin, the nearest station to the
Humble oil field, states that the fire
is still burning and spreading. The
fire was started by a stroke of light
ming. It hit an earthen tank, and in
a a million barrels of oil were
ahlaze.
Nearly one thousand men are at
work fighting the fire, the main
effort being directed to cOnfne the
flames to their present limits.
The estimates of loss are 5000, 600
barrels of oil, eight large tanks and
collateral properties.
The loss in money values, according
to these estimates, would reach $2,000,-
600 at least, and may possibly go to
double that figure.
Covering an area of t~hree-quarters OF
a mile square, with a great canopy OF
smoke covering two square miles, the
oil tanks of the Texas company con-
tinue to boil and bubble under the great
heat of the burning oil. When 1t can
be extinguished no one guesses. Ger
tainly not until it has burned all OF
the oil in the II big tanks.
There are hundreds of homeless
people, many of them only awaiting
"a train to go to Houston for shelter.
They were living in tents and shacks
in the oil field, and fled for their lives
to the town away from danger. They
left all their belongings, and they have
been destroyed by fire, which runs out
toward the oil field. 1t has not yet been
communicated to any of the derricks
or wells. During the whole of the night
there was a heavy downpour of rain,
and this covered the ground with q
sheet of water, coated with q thick Aim
of oil.
If this waste oil catches fire then II
is probable that the tanks of the GUT
fey company, the Sun company ano
the smaller owners may go. These
tanks hold $500, 900 barrels of oil.
Shortly after the big tank began te
blaze 200 workmen with rs mules were
hurried TO the place to throw up earth
en- entertainments to connne the IRE lC
the tank where it originated.
Suddenly the oil gave an upheaval
dubbed and lifted IA great mass OF
the burning fluid bodily out of the
tank, and the fire was communfcat
ed to three Of the other tanks.
The burning oil caught the men ane
mules and hemmed them in. There
was a wild scramble for safety, mel
dropping the scrapers and reins ant
fleeing. Some of them mounted mule!
and got out, but at least 40 Of the mules
baked and were cremated. Five ne
groes were seen to go down, and it |
not believed possible they could hav'
escaped. While all of the men hav'
not been accounted +or, these five ar
all that are certainly known to hav'
perished.

According to a writer, the American
Rhodes scholars at Oxford present an
interesting contrast to their English
fellow-strdents. AS to their relative
scholarship, he found the Englishmen
to be the much better informed of the
two, though on fewer subjects. They
were much more thorough classicists,
much better read in all literatures and
in the newspapers. The American
students had pursued more subjects,
science especially, but, as a rule, had
not gone deep enough into anything to
get a firm hold OF it.
