Paris, July 23.-Parls is sweltering
! in the worst hot wave experienced in
twenty-five years which is made
more severe by the phenomenal
drouth, not a drop OF rain having fall
len for a month. The thermometer
has risen steadily for the last eight
days for from Sc to 81. the latter fig

All indications point to a contin-
uanee of the heat FOR several days To
add to the suffering of the people,
there has been partial break In the

main water pipes, which were dis
covered yesterday neCessitated the
icutting off Of the supply last night.
| Many deaths have occurred, the
daily average being six until yester-
day when eleven We're reported.
At Fontainebleau the drouth was
responsible for the spread of a fire
which broke out in the most pic
turesque part of the forest. fifteen
acres OF which were destroyed. The
garrison troops We're called out and
succeeded in getting this fire under
control when n more serious outbreak
occurred around Salamandre rocks.
The fire burned over about 1900 acres
and kept the troops busy all night be-
fore they mastered it.
After apparently being under con-
trol the fire broke out anew in the
forest and is still burning. 1t is es-
timated that the flames spread over
three thousand acres. For time the
great powder magazines at Marlotte
were threatened but the efforts OF the
entire garrison saved them.
The authorities say that the fire
was the work of incendiaries. 1t VIII

For prohibition. 225,5S3 Against
prohibition, 22S,935.
Anti majority, 5000.
No returns have been received from
five counties, but these perhaps have
cast no more than 1000 votes. Forty
seven counties have made only partial
returns, but in most of these only
few small boxes are missing
The total unTeported vote probably
will not exceed $4,000, it being indi-
Gated that the total vote polled was
about 475,000, which with one ex-
cepti0n is the largest vote ever polled
in Texas.
A survey of the territory not yet re-
ported which is well scattered over
the state indicates that the returns yet

fer one side as the other and the
result even now seems doubtful.
The total vote cast Saturday prob
ably will reach 475,000 Probably SO
per cent Of this is reported.

against prohibition running from =
coo to 5000.
ONLY a few small counties which
lack wire, farililies ita1'c not been
heard from and there are scattered
boxes in many other counties still out.
The territory from which the returns
are incomplete is about evenly di-
yided as between the wet" and dry"

The indications arc favorable to the

claim the victory by a majority Of s.
400. The prohibition leaders, how
ever insist upon the fun returns.
The totals Of the returns up to

btlon amendment and 226,104 against
the amendment.
