Heat Wave Extends Al Over State
Beaches Too suItry for Relief.
San FranciscoAll California above
the Tehachapi, as well a. Nevada and
Arizona, sweltered Sunday under the
fercest heat recorded for eight years.
San francisco ct this season usually
has sea fogs rolling BY 5 o'clock in the

the hottest day for eight years. or
since September S, 1904, when the

RIOTiNo IN BELGIUM.
Laboring Classes Refuse to Abide by
Result Of Elections.

.'"s6 St0SSoS noIuSe 10 AOl0o 0y
Result Of Elections.
Brussels-Belgium is in a state of
eruption on account of the recent cleo
tons and rioting throughout the coun-
try has taken on revolutionary {char-
acter.
Many persons have been killed or
wounded in various cities and large
number Of reserves have been called
to the colors. Agitation in the indus
trial centers is increasing. Every
hour brings news of fresh protests by
the laboring classes against the gov
ernmental victories. In some cases
the civic guard has made common
cause with the rioters.
The national disorders are generally
attributed to the disappointment of
the laboring class by the victory of
the clericals in the recent elections.
The Socialists allied themselves with
the Liberals on the public school ques-
ton in opposition to the government
policy, hoping thereby to win the ma
jority in the chamber. Their failure
caused wave of anger to sweep over
the country. Latest reports show
that strike movement has spread
over the entire Liege basin and has
tied up most Of the collieries and the
big metal industries.
Liege has the appearance of be-
sieged city. Two regiments are un-
der arms besides police, the civic
guard and gendarmes. Several clash
es occurred between the rioters and
the troops.
In Brussels mob made rapid tour
of the city, wrecking streetcars,
smashing windows and doing all man
ner of damage. They broke in the
doors of the Church of st. John and
st. Nicholas, demolished the taber-
nacle and set fire to the doors. Next
they tried to force an entry to the
monastery of the IArtois Fathers, and
arriving at the Ander LIGHT quarter,
wrecked a cafe and attempted to
storm convent, but were dispersed
by firemen with streams from the
hose.
At Cornu a mob wrecked the Catho-
lie club. At Bruges, gendarmes fired
on mob, wounding SO rioters, several
fatally. The gendarmes were as
sailed with bottles, bricks, and pieces
of furniture.
The educational fight which is the
principal cause of the present distur-
Dances, is explained as follows: The
Belgian schools are either church
schools or public schools. The schools
are managed and subsidized by the
commons alone and in the non clerical
communes there is tendency to sub
sidize only the public schools. The
desire of the clerical government is to
place the church schools on the same
financial footing as the public schools,
the necessary funds being provided by
the communes, province and state.
The opposition urges that the church
schools be paid for by the church, not
by the government.
Failure on the part of the laboring
classes to gain by the election the
abolition of the plural voting system,
asserted to be powerful lever in the
aid of the clericals, also caused great
dissatisfaction.

Best Floor for the Kitchen.


If you must have hardwood, avoid
white ash, which splinters and turns
gray. Maple has many admirers fol
its hard Wilderness, but requires almost
daily scrubbing to maintain that
whiteness, and varnish wears of
seemingly over night. Red oak has q
rich tone and withstands use without
screaming for the daily scrubbing
brush.
My own preference, says Maude E.
Hymers in Farm and Home, is for
southern pine, stained and oiled (nev-
er varnished), since the wear of q
kitchen keeps it constantly SCARED,
and varnish cannot be renewed in
spots without having q patchy look.
The only remedy is to remove it and
apply new coat, but varnish remover
is both expensive and laborious to APP
ply. Paint is open to similar objec-
tions, with the possible exception that
it patches" better.
Possibly the most permanent stain
for pine is also one of the most mex
pensive, consisting only Of perman-
ganate of potash. This can be pur-
chased at any drug store, and needs
only to be mixed with water, in the
proportion of one-quarter ounce to a
quart of water. Have the floor thor
oughly clean and dry and apply the
mixture with a brush, freely and
evenly. If very dark shade is de-
sired, make two applications, but the
addition of the oil makes it dark
enough for most tastes.
When thoroughly dry, oil with burnt
linseed oil, heated, or an emulsion Of
beeswax and turpertine. The former
is quicker to apply, needing simply
two soft cloths, one to apply it, the
other to wipe away the superfuous oil.
The latter, however, gives a higher
polish and be rubbed to beautiful
luster. Either finish will repel grease
spots.
In applying the permanganate of
potash do not be alarmed if at first
your floor takes on an undesirable
magenta color; this will subside al
most Immediately, changing to dark,
rich brown, genuine Havana stain,
utterly impervious to water.

zapata to Attack Mexico.

chihuahua, Mexico - General Pas
cual Orozco, chief of the revolution in
Northern Mexico, has formally sane
toned an attack on Mexico City by
Emiliano Zapata, rebel leader in the
South. An emissary from Zapata was
informed by Orozco that he would per-
nit the attack on the Mexican capital
provided the Southern leader would
not modest foreigners and could dom
mate the situation. This confirms
earlier assertions Of the rebels in the
North that they are acting in unison
with those in the South.

ARMY PREP ARES
TO TAKE FIELD
Transports Ready to Receive
| Troops for Cuba.
Will Back Up Navy in Maintaining
Peace on lsland-Protsction
Only 10 Object.


steps Saturday to share with the navy
in the American demonstration In
Cuba.
Early in the day the general staff
gave preliminary test to the ma
chine it has constructed when it issued
orders to the quartermaster general to
put in readiness for Cuban service the
four big army transports at Newport
News, and at the same time notified
the proper officers at the various army
posts where are located the organize
tons which 60 to make up the eek
peditionary force, /" to have the men
ready to entrain at a moments notice.
Within six hours word came from
Quartermaster General Alshire that
the transports had been put in COM
mission with full supplies and coal
and augmented crews and were ready
to sail the moment the troops were on
board.
Warnings have to be conveyed to
the titular government of Cuba and
every effort must be made to induce it
to exhaust its own resources in restor-
ing order.
Some of these steps have been tax
en-. The following telegram was sent
to the American legation in Havana
for presentation to the Cuban govern
ment:
"Under the exigencies of the stu
alton arising out Of the failure of the
Cuban authorities to take effective
action for the protection Of American
life and property the commandment at
Guantanamo naval station has been
compelled to land four companies Of
marines. This action has been taken
as a measure of protection only and
not for the purpose of putting down
the insurrection, which duty is clearly
that of Cuba.
-Four large war vessels will be
sent from Key West to Guantanamo
to be in readiness in case the situation
should demand additional forces for
the same purpose.
cit is hoped that these measures
will at once awaken the Cuban gov
eminent to the necessity of promptly
and adequately meeting and discharg-
ing its duties and responsibilities and
you will vigorously impress upon the
president of Cuba that q continued
failure on the part of his government
adequately to protect life and property
viii inevitably compel this government
to intervene in Cuba under and in re-
Spouse to its treaty rights and obliga-
TONS"
The issue Of a proclamation by
President Taft now is all that is nee
essary to meet the legal requirements
preliminary to Intervention. Wheth-
er this last step shall rebe taken de-
ponds upon the ability of the Cuban
government to deal with the insurrec-
ton.
