Washington, July 4.-That the IN
surgent Republican senators will not
be satisfied with the passage Of only
the wool revision and free list bills
after the final disposition of the Cana
dian reciprocity bill, but will demand
other tariff legislation, is indicated IN
a statement by Senator Bristow. OF
Kansas. Mr.. Bristow has had confer
ences with other insurgents regarding
their program.
He said he would never consent to
the adjournment of congress until du-
ties are reduced on trust controlled
products, naming cottons, voolens,
Steel leather, rubber manufactures, etc.
Amendments making such reduction he
would attach to the reciprocity bill.
Failing in that, he served notice that
some of US will insist that a bill or
bills be passed reducing the duties on
these articles before the adjournment
of the present session.

added, will pass f the Democrats will

Personally, I am not in favor Of the

Promised Relief of Weather
Bureau Goes Wrong.
Last Night One of Hottest of
Season.

The prediction of the weather bu-
reau that there would be relief from
the unprecedented weather conditions
which have prevailed recently was
evidently simply an idle dream, for
the prospects are now that all heat
records for July in the last quarter
of a century will be eclipsed.
Monday night was perhaps the
most unbearable period for sleep thus
far experienced this season.. although
the minimum temperature, 81 de-
grees, which was reached at o'clock
this morning was one degree cooler
than the minimum of the sweltering
night of week ago Saturday when q
record for Topeka was all but made
The thing that made sleep almost
impossible was the fact that while
there was gentle four mile an hour
breeze blowing on top of the Mulvane
building where the government obser-
vations are taken, there was scarcely
breath of air stirring in sleeping
apartments.
At o'clock this morning the mer-
curry began to rise rapidly and by $50
O'Clock has cached the 90 degree
mark, the average for the morning
being two degrees warmer than Mon
day.
A four mile an hour wind which is
really no wind at all was blowing this
morning from the northwest but it
appears that on account of the gen.
eral heated condition of the country
to the northwest of US it would take
nothing short of a strong gale to blow
up cooler conditions. The wind di-
rection was from the south during the
greater portion of the night.
In explaining why the cool weather
which was predicted did not arrive

caster said: We've had conditions

to life imprisonment. Later President
Mckinley pardoned Mattox who was

A short time thereafter he shot and

seen the second negro killed, went
hunting with Mattox one day and he
has never since been seen.

weight champion Ad WoIgast,

noon when Ad Wolgast and owen
Moran of England climbed through
the ropes for their twenty-round bat
tie for the lightweight championship.
To each battle flag is attached a deep
rooted superstitious significance by its
owner The union jack worn by Moran
was sent him by admirers in England
as confident as he that tonight he will
wear the lightweight crown. Wolgast
has carried the bedraggled Stars and
stripes around his waist in many a
hard won battle and feels that on this
day they can not but bring him vic
tory. Hours before the gong changed
for the first round thousands gathered
about the arena gates struggling for
position of advantage in the rush for
4he bleacher seats, while small boys eX-
DIoded fire crackers and tOrpedoes un-
noticed beneath their feet. The hold-
ers of reserved seats followed close

SENATORS WANT TO HEAR
Lorimer Committee Compelled to
seek Larger Quarters.

Washington, July MANY senators
not engaged in the INQUIRY have ex-
pressed a desire to observe the de-
meanor of witnesses before the senate
committee charged with the investiga-
ton of the election of William Lori
mer to the United States senate. Their
desire to watch the witnesses. particu-
larly the confessed bribe takers, who
are expected to be examined after the
committee recOnvenes, nine days from
now, is with a view to informing them
selves in connection with the case
when it comes to a vote in the senate.
So great promises to be the attendance
of these outside senators thai a large
hearing room Will be procured if pos
sible for the committee sessions to re-
place the present cramped quarters. It
was largely to afford these senators an
opportunity of attending the hearings
and because of the committee mem-
bers wanting to remain here in con-
nectiOn with other legislative matters
while congress remains in session that
hearings in Washington instead of re-
suming them in Chicago, deferring
that trip until probably in August.

Officers Find Trap Door in a stair

Another method of concealing that
indispensable summer brew was discov-

will have to be abandoned by the beer
keepers. -Four officers raided the place

street, and after searching over the
house in vain. one of them pulled up a
stair step and found that it swung on
hinge Below was a cache from
which the officer drew out 80 bottles of
beer. The staircase invention is con-
sidered one of the cleverest and the
officers are not sure but what they
have overlooked many a case of beer.
