Many succumb to the Irresistible Rays of ola Sol, Infants Appearing to Be Especially Suscep-

New York, July 17.-After a respite of one day the hot wave that swept over New. York last week causing scores of deaths and hundreds of cases of prostrations returned today with re- newed intensity. teh temperature being by far tho highest Of this season. The highest point was at { o'clock this afternoon when the weather bureau thermometer touched 90 degrees. In the streets. however. the heat was much greater. some thermometers re- cording as high as 103 degrees. While the heat was intense the air was stirred by light breezes and the general suf- fering was somewhat mitigated by the absence of the excessive humidity that prevailed last week.
 It was largely owing to this that only two cases directly resulting from the heat were reported. The total number of prostrations from the whole city was less than fifty. There was little diminution of the heat after nightfall, the mercury standing at S1 at II D. m. There are no prospects of any relief for several days to come.

NO DECISION IS REACHED
Advertiser Bureau.

Washington, July IT.
 No announcement was made by Sec- retary Wilson today as to whether or not he will order a new cotton acre- age report as he was urged to do by Henry c. Hester and Harvie Jordan.
 Today the secretary of agriculture has been in telegraphic communication with his correspondents in the cotton section and has been looking up hia appropriations. but he has not yet ar- rived at a decision in the matter. 1t in believed that there is a contingent fund from which he can get the ne- cessary money. and the general belief is that there will be a report.
 As a matter of fact, it goes against the grain with Mir. Wilson to order this report. since 1t necessarily would reflect somewhat against the eficien- cy of the division of statistics, being a practical confession that the corre- spondents were not properly instructed in the first place. It will be recalled in this connection, that some of the included in their re- their own as to cotton likely to be planted in June, while others stopped at May 25th. If the division of statis- tics his been properly conducted. tho reports of all the correspondents would have covered the same period.
 But Secretary Wilson Is inclined to favor a square deal and Is trying to do his best. It Is also hoped that he will follow Colonel Hester's sugges- tion to have more details in his re- ports on conditions.
 Wants Reasons shown.
 The New Orleans cotton expert wants a statement to accompany the condition reports, which statement shall show the reasons, the state of the weather. etc.. in the various cotton districts. which make the condition what 1t IS. Col. Hester brought this matte rto Secretary Wilson's attention. along with the suggestion Of the new report. man left in Washington. He co bus- fly engaged with the prosecution end of the case that he does not go around. the department of agriculture much. Harvie Jordan is in New York and District Attorney Beach. who cannot be found in Washington tonight. is to be there also, gathering evidence.
 Much amusement has been created tn by the publication of President Roosevelts letter to Attor- ney General Moody on the subject of Holmes, coming so soon after the of Morton. The bitter attack on the minor official by the chief executive has struck Washington with no little force. A congressman in one of the downtown ho- tels tonight that if any one else had written the letter Holmes would have had suit for libel on file by this time.
