Cool Period Coming.

Washington, July 12.-WilHs l.
Moore, chief of the weather bureau.
issued a signed statement today ex-
planning the cause for the hot wave
of the last ten days and telling why
he believes more or less permanent re-
lief is at hand.
'.For a prolonged period" says the
chief. .the barometric pressure has
been above normal over the Atlantic
ocean, and low over the northwestern
portion of the American continent.
The International weather map of
Wednesday showed a reversal in this
pressure distribution-an extensive
area of high barometric pressure ap
pearing over Alaska, while the pres
sure over the middle 1atitudes of the
Atlantic ocean has fallen to below
normal. This changed pressure distri-
button is strong. indicative of the dis
Sipation of the warm weather over the
eastern states and the middle west in
the immediate future, and a period of
moderate tenpera ture in these districts
lasting through the remainder of this
week and continuing into next week"

that he is either less experienced OF

IF we had 100 runs. say. in any

content ourselves with 100 engineers.
There would also be extra men Wno
would make the run over that division
nearly, if not quite as often "a the

would not take the same train out

FREE LIST AMENDMENT
EMPHATICALLY DEFEATED.
Consideration of Reciprocity Bill Will
Now Move With Celebrity.

Washington, July 12.-Senator Bal
ley's free list amendment to the Cana
dian reciprocity bill was defeated in
the senate late today by large ma
jority. So evident was the margin
against it that Senator Bailey did not
ask for a rol1call.
Pursuing the policy of forcing the
opponents of reciprocity to proceed
without delay, Senator Penrose urged
Senator Bailey to introduce his wool
tariff amendment at once. The latter
did so and the senate adjourned with
the amendment pending. 1t is a mod;-
fration of the wool tariff bill recently
passed by the house and places all du-
ties on raw and manufactured wool at
general average of so per cent.
The consideration of the reciprocity
bill is expected to move with rapidity
from now on. The wool amendment
will probably be disposed of tomorrow
and Senators LaFollette and Bristow
are ready with their amendments and
their speeches against the bill.
