WILL ILLUMINATE.
Millions of Lights to Be Used in Hud-
SON Fulton Celebration.

New York, July 15.-Perhaps the
most brilliant illumination ever wit
messed in one place in the world is
that which will inaugurate the Hud-
son-Fulton celebration in this city
next fall. The lighting committee has
arranged for 100000 fncandescent
lamps, 1000 arc lights, 5000 haring
arc lamps of $4,000 candle power
each; one battery of four searchlights
of 100000 candle power each and one
battery of II searchlights, aggregating
100000 candle power
1t IS calculated that the total candle
power of this array of lights will
reach 26,260,00O. Added to this will
be the enormous amount of electric
light advertising which is being plan
ned by many commercial houses.
Outside of the city, the lighting plan
calls for the illumination of the entire
Hudson valley from New York to
Troy and commencing on the evening
of Saturday, October 9, huge signal
fires will be burned on every mountain
and hill top along both sides of the
great river.
The largest battery of searchIights
will be placed at 13Oth street, and will
illuminate the Hudson river from its
mouth to many miles above Yonkers.

NEW YORK NEEDS RAIN.
Farmers Complain That Hot Winds
Are Burning Up Their Crops

New York. July 15.-Unless rain
comes to this section of the east in
a very few days, farmers will face
disaster. There has not been suf-
11cient rain in nearly three weeks to
water the crops and they are said to
be burning up. AS a result prices for
all kinds of farm products are as
cending rapidly, and the quality is
said to be inferior. In suburban
towns and interior cities, the drought
is burning up fine lawns and hedges
and thousands of trees are turning
yellow.
The dust on country roads is sew
eral inches deep and in many sec
lions, the whitening vegetable plants
are buried under the covering of dust.
Several towns have issued orders
against bonf1res, it being feared that
fire will spread rapidly because every
thing is so dry. The official weather
forecast gives no promise of rain for
the next two days.

TRAIN DISPATCHES QUIT.
Resignation Due to Feeling Against
Native Mexicans.

Mexico City. July 15.-The resigna-
ton of the entire body of train dis
patchers. including chiefs. of the Ma
tional railroad lines of Mexico which
we're handed in blanket form yester-
day is the resula of feeling by Ameri-
cans against the naives.
The chief point for which the dis
patchers contended was revocation of
orders issued by the general officers
of the National railway on July l to
the effect that each superintendent
should select two native telegraphers
employed on their respective divisions
and place them in the diSpatcher's Of
flee as copy operators with the right
to handle train orders under the di-
rection of the dispatchers in charge.
1t is contended by the dispatchers,
most of whom are Americans, that the
orders showed the desire on the part
of officials to break in native dispatch
ers and carry out the avowed intention
of the management of the system to
employ Mexican labor wherever and
whenever possible.
