houses on conference on the wool and
free list bills called for today, Sena-
tor La Toilette and Representative
Underwood, who constitute the work
ing subcommittee of that organiza-

to make full report. They made ma
terial progress, but when the two
houses adjourned late in the day diff.
ferences still existed. .~S7~
The conferees were apart only to
the extent of two and one-half per
cent on raw wool and there was a fair
prospect that they would bridge this
narrow chasm before today's meeting
Mr.. Underwood was willing to go to
72 1-2 per cent on ordinary raw wool
and Mr.. La Toilette was willing to
come down to 80 per cent and to make
other compensatory concessions.
There will be little difficulty about
agreeing on the free list bill if Mr.

TEXAS COTTON

Hot Weather Damages Crop in the
Lone Star State and
Oklahoma.
(By Associated PreSs.)

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 11.-Immense
damage to cotton is reported from
many sections as a result of the in
tense heat prevailing over Texas and
Oklahoma during the past three days.
Temperatures averaging from 104 to
lis are recorded in reports of wide
range over the cotton region of these
two states with no recent rainfall
or any in prospect to relieve the con-
dition.
From many points the crop is re-
ported as burning up, and farmers are
beginning to fear that total loss
will be sustained unless rain comes.
A general average of 102 degrees
prevailed over the north and west
Texas cotton region yesterday, ac-
cording to official reports, and this
average is being maintained.

the Argentine government with a dis
placement of $4,000 tons, the largest

General Porfirio Diaz, former presi-

These cablegrams urge him to return

claiming that the country has been
in state bordering on anarchy ever
since his deposition. The Mexican
secretary at New York has informed
the deposed president that a huge De
tition is being circulated begging him
to intervene in these Mexican disor-

not, however, heed these appeals. His
health, which was greatly impaired
when he was an active participant
in the Mexican civil war, is now ex-
cellent and he states that he expects
to remain here until the end Of the
