afternoon newspaper in the country, St

are wondering why It was never at
tempted before. Capt Robert z. I.ee,

no better time could be chosen to reach
the public than on Sunday afternoon.
said President Lee. The Sunday fea-
ture papers OF today are such mammoth
matter and advertising. that al average
person IS bewildered."
1T is q fact that many people dis
ike to read the Sunday feature papers
unless they have a half day to spene
that way. An afternoon paper Of the
usual size appeals to me as the best
medium for the advertising OF Monday
bargains.

Washington, July 26.-The United States

The macerated bills are worked back

WEATHER IS OPPRESSIVE
Extremely Sultry Sunday in Salt

Are Comparatively Low.

The weather in Salt Lake yesterday ap-
preached the point where people swell

was almost an entire absence of breeze.
Had the relative humidity been higher
than il was there would have unquestion-
ably been pros-rations. The maximum on
the official instrument was 81. The street
thermometer ranged well toward 100. The
prediction for today is generally fair. 1t
is likely that there will be no important
change in temperature, as the barometer
remains unchanged.
Yesterday was another record day at
the resorts. In spite of the fact that the
resorts were dry" as well as the town,
great crowds of people visited them in
the hope of obtaining some measure OF
relief.
The meteorological report for the day
reads:
Temperature at p. m. 81; maximum
temperature 81; minimum temperature
60; mean temperature, 70, which is 3 de-

temperature since the first of the month,

WILL ENTERTAIN
AMERICAN FLEET
Chinese Government Will Car
ry Out Its Plan of Welcome
in Spite of Obstacles.
BANQUETS AND DINNERS
REPORTED OPPOSITION OF LEGA-
TON is FALSE.

Pekin. July 26.-The Chinese govern
ment is completing its preparations for
the entertainment of the officers and
crew of the fleet of American bat
tleships at Annoy, where the visiting
men-of-war are due to arrive the lat
ter part of October. The original sum
of 100000 taels appropriated by China
for the purpose of welcoming and en-
tertainment will be augmented by an
other 100000 taels. This addition has
been made necessary by the isolation
and comparative inaccessibility of
Annoy, the Chinese port selected by
the Washington government for the
fleet to call at. There are practically
no facilities at Annoy for the entertain
ment of such a large body of men, and
China has given no evidence of being
gratified that this out of the way and
unsatisfactory spot was selected.
Furthermore. China has been placed
in Il position of considerable embar-
rassment and difficulty in this matter
and she is disposed to keep as close as
possible her preparations. as well as
her determination TO give a befitting
welcome to the American warships.
This arises from the humiliation China
experiences from the fact that only
part of the fleet will visit China, as
compared to the calling of all the YES
sells in Japan; the criticism that the
government is eXtravagant in appro-
priating 1000 taeIs for entertainment,
and also because the proposal that the
fleet come TO port on or near the
Yangtse Kiang, was vetoed for fear
that Japan or China, or both countries,
would misinterpret the true meaning
of the visit.
Still the authorities show great pride
IN what they are undertaking for the
entertainment of the Americans, and
they are demanding that the visitors
shall have no doubt whatever as to
the genuineness of their welcome. DIR.
George Mark, the Chinese commissioner
of arrangements, has left here already
for Annoy, where he will superintend
the construction of the proper landing
facilities. the details of the proposed
street parade, the arrangements for
theatrical entertainments and the ade-
quate lighting of the city.
The program includes banquets to
the officers and men, who will be en-
tertained in two big parties. Three
thousand American sailors and marines
will be dined at one time. They VIII
be given souvenirs of their visit, and
there will be a series of sports on shore
and continuous performances in the
theatres and pavilions. The charges
made by the foreign press of China
that the American legation had OPP
posed the coming of the fleet to China
were denied at the legation today with
emphasis.
