Case 160 Was Reached,
Limit of the Thermometer,

Los Angeles, July 31.-According
to reports which have reached this
city, terrible heat conditions are pre-
vailing in the Inyo county gold fields
and adjacent desert, and mining pros
pectors are dying daily from the heat.
w. Fl. Adams, mining engineer, who
left Los Angeles July for the Pana-
mint range and who has just returned
to this city, states, that eight prospec-
tors were brought in dead from heat
while he was in the region.
During his stay at Panamint six
bodies were brought there, all victims
of sunstroke. The heat, he says is
terrible and unabated day or night.
At Ballarat, he states, the thermome-
ter registered 1876 at noon and at
midnight following had dropped to
but 116 degrees. which was the aver
age for three days. In the desert Sec
ton, lying south of Redlands, he
saws, the mercury went up to 160 de-
grees, which was the highest point the
thermometer was capable of register
ing.

ARMY TRANSPORTS
ORDERED HOME
No Further Danger of Crisis Rcquir-
ing Troops i'm China.

Washington, July 31.-Orders have
been issued by the war department
to the commanding general, Philip
pines division, directing him to send
back to New York City by the way
of the Suez canal the army trans
ports Meade, Fitzpatrick, Mcclellan
and Ingalls, which have been held
at Manila for possible use in trans
porting troops from the Philippines
to China. The movement of the
transports Is directed to begin about
September 1, and 1t will be left tc
the discretion of the commanding
general Philippines division, whether
or not they will bring troops bach
with them. 1t is not thought that al
of the transports Will be sent bach
at the same time, but Il Is more like
ly that they will sail at intervals
of two weeks.
The movement of these transports Il
of considerable significance. They
took large reinforcements of troop!
to the islands during the Chinese boy
colt excitement several months ago
and have been held there since tC
expedite the transportation of troop
to China in case of necessity for tht
better protection of United States in
terests. No such emergency arose
and the ordering home of the trans
ports indicates that none is antici
pated in the near future,

JOHN D. MAKES A NOISE
LIKE A PHILANTHR0PIST
Returns From Europe Breathing Love
For the Human Race.

New York July 31.-Today's World
says:
John d. Rockefeller never was in
better humor than when be left Tar
rytown for Cleveland last evening af-
ter having given one of the longest
interviews he is known to have ever
uttered.
Sometimes the things that are said
of me are cruel and they hurt, but l
am never a pessimist," he said. II
believe in men and the brotherhood
of man and am confident everything
will come out for the good of all in
the end. You are Just young man
but you can take my word. 1 am
older than you and have seen the
world. You can always believe in
real men.
'As for Europe-well. it's nice, but
I love my own country best: Yes, all
the hard things that my countrymen
say of me can never be cruel enough
to offset the love of home and coun-
try.
Now, remember, young man, I
bear no ill-will to any man. l am
confident there is more good than
bad in the world, and l am full OF
the joy of living. I believe in men. Do
that and the world is bound to seem a
good world to you. Be as persistent
in all things as you have been in get
ting to me and you will always win."
Back to That Dear Cleveland.
Cleveland, Ohio, July 31.-Mr.
and Mrs. John d. Rockefeller reached
Cleveland today. They went directly
to Forest Hill, their suburban home.
Rockefeller greeted the newspaper
men cordially. He said he was glad
to get back to his home and expected
to remain until October.

PENNSYLVANIA
RAIL R D A D
CUTS RATES
MATERIAL REDUCTION wv
IN PASSENGER FARES
Other Eastern and Southern
Roads Expected to Meet
New Schedule Adopted by
Big System,

Philadelphia, July 21..-Important
concessions in passenger rates were
announced today by Fourth Vice
President John 3. Thayer of the
Pennsylvania railroad following a
meeting of the board of directors of
that corporation. The company has
decided to reluce the maximum one
way rate from S1a cents to 2h cents
mile. This action will involve re-
adjustment of all through fares from
the south, and owing to the vast
amount of work entailed by reason of
the change the new rate of fare will
not become operative for some time,
probably November /. 1t Is assumed
that the connecting lines which reach
New York by way of Cincinnati and
Louisville will meet the Pennsylvania
company's reduction by a readjust-
ment of fares so that all southern
passenger traffic, whether by way OF
Washington. Cincinnati or Louisville
will be on an equal basis.
The company will also on Septem-
Der l place on sale 1000 mile tickets,
valid only on its lines east of Pitts
burg and Erie at the fiat price OF
$40. These mileage tickets will be
transferable. No change is to be
made in price of interchangeable
mileage tickets now sold by the COM
pany which are not transferable and
upon which a deposit of $40 above
the regular price is required. 1t is
estimated that $4,000 interchangea-
BILE mileage books are presented dali
ly on the various roads and of this
number 65 per cent are used on the
lines of the Pennsylvania road.
Concerning the reduction in one
way fares, the company's announce
ment made through Vice President
Thayer, saiys:
This reduction of fares has been
the subject of serious consideration
for a year past. The company has
expended large sums to build relief
lines upon which freight trains
should he moved, that this class of
traffic might be diverted from the
plesent main lines and thus secure
/ less liability of delay to the COM
pany's largely increased passenger
service. The company has believed
that the time would come when a
much larger traffic could he handled
profitably with reduction of the
| present rates of fare"

The United States geological survey
Will make a reconnaissance this sum-
mer in the northeastern section of
New Mexico in an investigation of ig-
neous rock. This portion of New
Mexico and the adjacent part of Colo
RADIO contain igneous rocks which are
different from those of the mountain
area to the west. There seems to
be an interesting parallel between
this region and the region east of the
Rocky mountains in Montana. 1t is
hoped that this study will throw light
upon these relations.
William II. Andrews, delegate tn

six bills during the past session of

granting land to the city of Albuuuer-
que: bills granting special increased

There are three bills pending con-

United States, in conjunction with the
state of Texas. to determine and es.
tablish the boundary lines between
Indian territory, the territories NJ
New Mexico and Oklahoma, and the

be forced to acknowledge that to sc

Texas which clearly intended to de
fine the 103d meridian as the western
boundary of the Panhandle and thu
eastern boundary of New Mexico.

System - Universal Suff-
rage Provided For. l.

London, July 31.-In a speech Of
great moderation, carefully designed
to propitiate his opponents, Winston
Churchill, parliamentary secretary
for the colonial office, in the house
OF commons this afternoon, explained
the governments plan to confer "A
constitution on the Transvaal.
He declared the government had
decided for the principle Of manhood
suffrage against any property quail
fication. Therefore, every adult male
Fl years of age, who had been a resi-
dent six months in South Africa, ex.
cept members of the British garrison,
would be entitled to vote under the
secret ballot system. Proportionate
representation was not popular, and
would be incomprehensible in the
Transvaal, so 1t has been decided 10
go straight for single member seats
The Transvaal assembly would con-
sist of sixty-nlne salaried members
elected for five years. Either the
| British or Dutch language could be
used in the transaction Of public
| business.
| An animated debate followed the
closing of Mr.. Churchill's remarks
Mr.. Balfour, winding up for the un-
/ ionists, declared 1t to be a reckless
and audaclous experiment. He ar
gued that II was too near the war TO
! expect the Dutch to forget what they
had suffered, and II was more than
human nature could grant to expect
them to be loyal to Great Britain. He
declared that the explanation OF this
, hurried procedure was the govern
ments burning desire to get rid of all
of its economic questions In South
Africa, which its rash pledges of a
general election had brought upon il.
Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman
the premier, answering Mr., Balfour,
said that he had never listened to Il
more unworthy, mlschievous and un-
patriatic scheme.
While Mr.. Churchill was praising
the new constitution, his cousin, the
duke of Marlborough, who was COZ
onlal under secretary In the late gov
ernment, was denouncing 1t In the up
per house.
Lord Harris asked what flag would
wave over Pretoria twenty years
hence.
Lord Milner declared he saw a
tragedy behind the precipltancy Of
the government, and mourned that
the future of the Transvall was to be
left to chance.

Wage Scale in Nevada Gold Fields
Assures Three Years Peace.

Reno, New, July 31.--A special to
the Gazette from Tonopah says: Both
mine owners and the leaders of the
Western Federation of Miners in Ne
vada regard as significant the ratifi-
cgation of the time and wage scale
by members of the union In the To-
nopah district yesterday. The mine
owners yielded every point, granting
an eight-hour day for every workman
and a general day wage scale of 81
and $3.50 with SIS and $3.50 for the
more expert classes of labor They
made their stand upon a three-year
agreement and this was accepted by
vote of 241 to 100.
Eight hundred miners did not visit
the polls, indicating their satisfac-
ton with the surrender of the opera
tors and their desire to see tranquili-
ty in the camps for three years.
