Ten Victims Expire
During Day in
Chicago
Five Deaths and Eighteen
ProstratiOns at
Milwaukee
Suffering In Tenement Districts Is In
tense, With Little Relief in
Sight for
Today
sneciel to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-Heat in Chicago
today was responsible for ten deaths
and twenty-nine prostrations, accord
ing to figures compiled by the police.
It is known however, that other
prostrations occurred which never were
reported and which swell the figures
given very considerably. BY IL o'clock
this morning the weather bureau ther-
-nometer registered 81 degrees and re-
manned at that point for four hours,
when the mercury climbed to 92 Later
in the day slight breeze sprang up
from the west, relieving the situation
somewhat, though the heat continued
oppressive.
Suffering was greatest in the poorer
districts of the west side In the Ghet-
10 tenement section men, women and
children struggled for breath and pur-
sued their usual avocations clothed just
sufficiently to escape arrest. Tonight
the landings of the fire escapes and
roofs are covered with exhausted hui
manity, seeking what relief can be
found in heat-tortured sleep.
All day long Chicago's sweat shops
were veritable hell holes. Here is was
no uncommon thing to see women and
girls. ard occasionally even men, faint
at their tasks, but when this happened
the others stopped only long enough to
dash q cup of water in the sufferers
face and then returned to their work
The parks were thronged with peo-
pfc and every available bit of shade
was sought out eagerly. Thermometers
on the streets in the business district
registered many degrees higher than
the official Instruments.
Tonight there is little let up in the
sitting heat and the official forecast for
tomorrow calls for a continued hot
wave.

ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 22.-In
spite of the Wholesale arrests and de-
portation of revolutionists, the big
centers daily chronicle of murder and
robbery is not appreciably diminishing.
The police seem utterly powerless to
capture the perpetrators of the
crimes.
They do not make arrests in one case
out of 25.
While the revolutionary effort against
the government has thus degenerated
into case of crime, three political
parties, the Constitutional Democrats,
the Octoberists and the Regeneration
lists are drifting. The efforts to effect
an amalgamation have failed.

the famous Russian revolutionary agi-
tator Gerschunin in the conspiracy
which was responsible for the assass-
ination of former Minister of Public
instruction Bogolipoff and former Min
lister of the Interior Sipiaguine in COM
pany with Sassanoff, the assassin of
former Minister of the Interior Won
Plehve, and several other terrorists
have escaped from Akatui, Trans

1t is announced that some ameliora-
tion of the condition of the Jews will
be made without awaiting the action
