CnquestiOnably the temperature. which
was higher today than at any time dur-
ing the present session. had something 10
do with the indispOsition on the part of
many senators to discuss the bill. Palm
leaf fans were in evidence among those
senator's who found il necessary to be on
the floor. and at no time was q quorum
present except when the roll was being
called TO establish the quorum. During the
morning the Democrats had SWeltered
through a conference lasting more THAI
an hour. al which il was decided not 10
filibuster agdin.5t the bill. While the con
ference had no binding effect. the senti-
ment favored the minority standing to-
gether i'm a solid vote against the bill.
On the other hand. it is not likely that
more than two Republicans will join the
opposition.

Chimney Blown Down.

Chicago. May ga gale of wind which
reached a greater velocity than has been
recorded in Chicago for seven years to-
night preceded an electrical storm, which
did considerable damage in various parts
of the city. Several persons were in
jured by debris blowing from buildings
by the gale and a church and half a score
of other buildings were struck by light
ming. The storm was the elimination of
d day of atmospheric disturbances. which
began with daylight and continued inter-
mittently until nearly midnight.
Guests in a Panic.
The greatest single instance of damage
occurred when an eighty-fOot iron CHM
neY was blown from the roof of an eight
story building at No. l19 La Sale street.
The chimney fell across a court, breaking
windows in the BrevoOTt hotel from the
fourteenth to the sixth stories. and also
crashed through a skylight in a restaurant
adjoining. One man was severely cut
by broken glass and scores of guests in
the hotel and patrons of the restaurant
were thrown into a panic.
The high wind. which reached veloc-
ity of eighty-siX miles an hour, crippled
telegraph and telephones wires through
out the city. For a short time the city
was almost cut off from communication
with the outside world. but most of the
damage in this regard was of a temporary
nature and was soon adjusted

LUKE WRIGHT TO
TAKE TAFT'S JOB.
Resignation of the Latter, of
- Course, Dependent Upon
Nomination at CHICAGO.

Washington, May 2S.-The fact that
information is refused by responsible
persons regarding the accuracy of the
published statement that General Luke
E. Wright of Tennessee has been Sc
lected to succeed Secretary Taft upon
the retirement Of the latter from the
war department goes far toward con-
frming the belief that there may be.
and probably is, foundation for the
story. General Wright is no longer &C
counted a Democrat by the Tennessee
representatives in the senate and house,
and, in fact. they assert that President
Roosevelt has found his strongest sup
porter i'm the Philippine policies in Cen
eral Wright. The latter was in Wash
ington two weeks ago and lunched with
the president. when it is presumed the
possibility OF his selection was
preached, and 1t is only fair to assume
that the hesitancy of the officials here
in making any statement may be based
upon the fact that General Wright has
not yet himself decided what DISPOSE
tiOn to make of the offer.
