other of the senate's active working
days and by the time the session closed
at z O'Clock tonight 80 many schedules
had been considered and disposed Of
that Aldrich freely predicted that by
tomorrow night all would be out of the
way, leaving the senate free to begin
consideration of the corporation tax
and income tax amendments. Begin
ming the session with an increase of 5
per cent over the house rate of 80 per
cent ad valorem on harness, the senate
marched steadily along throughout the
nine hours OF its sitting. indulging in
little speechmaking and acting upon
many important provisions. Among
the changes made were:
An increase of duty on scrap iron
from so cents to So so per ton, thus
placing il on the same level as pig
iron: an increase of One-fourth OF a
cent per pound over the house rates on
wire nails; an increase of from to 8
cents per pound on monazite sand and

Thunder Storm Does Great Damage
and CooIs Air Somewhat.
New York, June 29.-The second of
a series of cooling thunder storms broke
over the city late yesterday. There
was a sudden drop in temperature.
The storm was responsible for the death
of one man and injury of several. At
the Polo grounds the game between
New York and Brooklyn was about to
begin when lightning struck the flag
pole in center field. smashing the upper
portion of the staff into splinters and
tearing down the pennant flag which
the New York team won in 1905.
Before relief came two deaths We're
added to the long list of temperature
victims. There were score Of pros
trations. The maximum temperature
was Sc. but the humidity was great.
Summing up the results Of the heat
wave, Health Commissioner Da ngton
in his weekly mortality report today
noted an increase of nearly 200 deaths
over the corresponding period last year.
An East Side blacksmith went sud-
denly insane while at work.

Washington, June 23.--In unexpect-

posed Of the lumber schedule and then
agreed upon the rates of duty on pine
apples.
Aldrich asked that the lumber sched-
ule receive first attention. He had no
sooner taken his seat than McCumber,
who has been persistent advocate of
free lumber. presented an amendment
reducing the finance comnittee's rate
of Sl.50 per thousand on sawed lumber
to the house rate Of 81 per thousand.
This was recognized generally as test
proposition, as sawei lumber has been
the bone of contention from the begin
ming. The North Dakota senator did
not find it worth while to enter into
any argument.
The result was another triumph for
the Aldrich rates. the vote standing "a
for and "A against the reduced rates.
It had been expected that the coal
schedule would be debated at great
length. but it was passed after little
more than an hours discussion. A
new schedule was presented by Aldrich
as chairman of the finance committee.

coal from 81 cents per ton to 60 cents

was the announcement of the real atti-
tude of Chairman Aldrich, of the
finance committee, toward the corpora

duced at the instance of the president.
He said that he ad ocated the corpora

income tax. He also said ae thought

ed States in its grip for the past week.
Ten deaths were reported in this city,

over the city late in the day. Pros
trations were almost without number,

Here there was some relief afforded
late last night, when cooling breeze
swept in from the lake. 1t was not
regarded as a permanent break in the
hot wave. however, and emergency or
ders were issued by the police throw
ing open the parks and Fairgrounds to
men and boys. Many took advantage
of this, and crowds from the poorer
sections of the city sought breathing
space for the night in the open.
During the day a man named Carl
Summers became demented from the
excessive heat, and rushed into the
waters of Lake Michigan for relief.
Though he was rescued the shock prov
ed too great for him. and he died later

SthNCd
Ottawa. 0rt., June 29.-An import
ant judgment has been handed down by
the board of railway commissioners for
Canada. By this decision Canada may
rule railway systems originating in the
United States. The case decided was
that of the Dawson board of trade,

the White Pass & Yukon railroad. The
company replied as only part of its
system was in Canadian territory the
Canadian board had no jurisdiction.
The chairman of the board, ex-Judge
Mabee, in carefully drawn judgment,
disposes Of this theory altogether,
The conclusion reached is that the
board has jurisdiction over the tolls
the company or companies may be en-
titled to charge on through traffic re-
ceived at Skagway or that district to
White Horse or any other intermediate
point between the international bound
ary between Alaska and British Co
lumbia and White Horse upon the rail-
way lines, ard upon through traffic re-
ceived at any point upon the railway

importation of mecl a1ically ground
wood pulp except from countries which

portation of wood or pulp to the United

Chicago, June 29.-An explosion
supposed to have been caused by dyna-
mite did great damage in the business
district tonight, injured two or three
persons severely, and wrecked stores
and windows for a block near Clark
and Washington streets.
The exact nature of the explosion is
unknown. because of the great amount
of debris thrown about the alley where
it occurred. The police think it an
other in the series of gamblers war
bombs that have mystified detectives
for more than two years.
The scene of the explosion was in
an alley in the rear Of the central tele-
phone exchange. The Chicago Tele-
phone company was unable to do any
more business during the night. Two
restaurants facing on Clark street
were blown practically into the streets.
food being scattered over the car
tracks.
In this alley also was the rear en-
trance to Powers & Lambert's saloon,
headquarters for Martin B. Madden
and his associates in the building
trades. Madden and his men are figur-
ing largely in labor disputes at pres
ent. and have been the subject of grand
jury indictments.
Another place opening into the alley
which was badly damaged, was the
cash register store of Mont Tenness,
who is alleged to conduct several gamb-
ling places. Tenness' place has been
raided frequently by the police. An
other bomb was exploded there year
