NORTHERLY WINDS 70 GIVE RELIEF Sunday Wil Probably See the Mercury Less Ambitious. ee SPECIAL WEATHER BULLETIN The sun looked like the bottom of a brand-new copper pan when it rose this morning, and the cloudless sky from zenith to horizon took on a tinge of the same sort. It was plainly evident to early risers that the commanding orb of this planetary sys- tem was going to make extra exertions to surpass its work yesterday, and it wasn't long before it was proving to its own sat- isfaction that its efforts were being re- warded. Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock the weather bureau thermometer marked 85 Gegrees. At the same hour this morning the mercury was level with the 86 mark, which is high enough to start the perspira- tion in streams from the human form di- vine, and sufficiently elevated, conscience knows, for the quicksilver to reach in any respectable community at any hour on any summer day. ‘ The Main Topic. The effects of the continued heat, which had already enervated man and beast and injured vegetation beyond computation, were even more visible as the day wore on. Sheppers and marketgoers hurried through their duties in the before noon hours to seek the relief of iimited neglige in close- shuttered rooms at home. The rapid transit cars were unusually well patronized, and front seats, where the air currents are strongest, were at a premium. Fast driv- ers held their horses down to a slow gait, and delivery wagons went at a walk. Crowds visited*the railroad offices and strove with each other to secure excursion tickets to sea shore and mountains, and frightened mothers hung over panting babies and prayed for anything to bring their darlings relief. Everywhere the tremendous heat was the theme of remark, and an abundance of vehement vitupera- tion, und everywhere was carelessness of attire observable. Shirt collars and cuffs assume] the consistency of dishrags; negli- ges on men and women alike looked like their wearers had dived into the Potomac, but no one 2ared for appearances. The cnly thing the population was anx- icus about was to find some place that was a little bit less hot than another. As fer a cool place, the only spots where such ex- isted were in refrigerators and ice wa- gens. Even cellars were hot and the cor- ridors of the massive public buildings un- ccmfortable. Marval or outdoor lab Was stopped by or before noon wherever 1t was possible. In a word, the national cap- ital was prostrate before tne heat. The thermometers in the shade at many dcwn-tewn places in the city marked over ) at 10 o'clock, and a tube put in the sun at twenty minutes past that hour on the sill of ene of the G street windows of the New York Herald bureau at 15th and G streets went up in five minutes to 116. At 10:35 the mercury stood at 126. As the tube only had power to register 130, and is a valuable instrument, it was taken in, for fear the mercury would break through the top of the glass if left longer exposed. A Ray of Hope Held Out. The Star reporter, who was a witness of this observaticn, decided that the only possible place in the world where any re- lef, either present or remote, for his troubled mental condition could be obtained would be at the weather bureau, and 11 o'clock found him in the forecast room of that institution. Chief Williams didn’t wait for the visitor to speak. The latter’s mute and appealing inquiry was too plainly ap- parent. “There is probability of a intense heat we are now having,” ‘said the chief, “and we will announce this in a special bulletin that will be issued after a while. Northerly winds are expected, and they will bring relief. They may not reach here before the usual hour today, when the heat is greatest, but it Is pretty certain that tomorrow will be more bearable. You must not understatid that we are going to promise a cold wave, but the chances are that life wilt be easier by a good deal for people in this neighborhood.” Comparixons With Other Cities, At 8 o'clock this morning Washington was the hottest place in the country by four degrees. The thermometers of the weather bureau, at Key West, Fla., mark- ed 82; at Philadelphia, and at Koston, 80. These were the only &) spots in the Union. The coolest place at that hour was out on the Rocky mountain slope, at the town of Havre, Mon., where the ther- mometer marked 38 degrees. At Atlantic City this morning at 8 o'clock the ther- mometer was 76. It reached $4 there yes- 72 during the break in the terday, with a minimum of 7 twenty-four hours. Review of the Heated Ter: The special bulletin was sent out at noon today by Chief of the Bureau Willis L. Moore. It is as follows: “Beginning with Thursday, September 2, a protracted heated term began on the eastern Rocky mountain slope and gradu- ally extended over the whole country to the Atlantic coast. “The highest previous records during the first decade of September were equaled or exceeded at Bismarck, Des Moines, Kansas City, Marquette, Green Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Alpena, Nantucket and Portland, Me. At Bismarck the highest previous rec- ord was % degrees, but on the and 8th it reached 100 degrees, and on ine 7th 102 degrees. “During the most of this period an area of low pressure was nearly stationary over Moniana or North Dakota, and from the Tth to the 10th the pressure was high over the South Atlantic States. lor most of the time the lower air was extremely dry dur- Ing the middle of the day. The following relative humidities a m, and 2 p.m., respectively, were onserved at Washington, viz.: On the 6th, 80 per cent, 38 per cent; “th, 84 per cent, 41 per cent; 8th, 9% per cent, 43 per cent; 9th, 94 per cent, 44 per cent; 10th, 82 per cent, 36 per cent. The combination of these cunditions. was suffi- cient to cause intense insolation, and the tracted heat of the lower atmosphere. he intense heat was confined to the re- gion between the Rocky mcuntains and the Mississippi river from the 2d to the 6th, and beginning with the 7th it had moved eastward to the region between the lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, but did not: reach New England till the 9th. “The highest temperatures at Washing- ten were: September 7, 92 degrees; Sth, 90 degrees; 9th, 92 degrees; 10th, 96 degrees, and the last was three degrees higher than the highest previous rcord (June ‘40, 93 de- grees) for the summer of 1897. “On the morning of the 8th the low area in North Dakota had begun moving eust, and was followed by a high area from the north Pacific. Temperature falls of 12 and 10 degrees were reported from Winnemucca and Salt Lake City, respectively. On the evening of the 8th the falls.in temperature were 28S and 30 degrees, at Havre and Wil- liston. On the evening of the th the cool wave had extended from the Rocky moun- tains to the middle and upper Mississippi valleys, a fall of 26 degrees being reported from North Platte. On the evening of the loth the fall in temperature had reached the upper, lake region, amounting to 18 and 20 degrees. at Green Bay and Marquette. “On the morning of the llth a ridge of high pressure had extended from the south Atlantic coast to Lake Superior, with a 1e- inforcement at the northern extremity of this ridge, a rise in pressure of 0.18 Inch in twenty-four hours being ed at Al- pena and Sault de Ste. Marie. The indica- tions are for northerly winds from this higher pressure, which will moderate the temperature in the lower lake region, New England and the middle Atlantic states during the next two days.” Nimety-Six at 2 O'Clock.

Mercury Climbs Higher in New York. NEW YORK, September 11.—There is lit- tle abatement today of the extreme heat which prevailed here: yesterday, though the humidity fs less, giving some relief from the oppressive conditions. The tem- perature in this city this morning at 8 o'clock was 77 degrecs, three degrees warmer than it was at the same hour yes- terday. An hour later the mercury had climbed two degrees, and,at 10 o'clock it registered 81, two degrees cooler than it was .t 10 o'clock yesterday.

EGU LATIONS NEW Submitted to the Commissioners by the Attorney for the District. ‘To Provide Safety Gates at the Grade Croxsings—The New Pro- visions. If the Commissioners adopt the new regulation submitted by the attorney for the District today and make it part of the police regulations every grade crossing In | the District of Columbia will be guarded day and night, and no engineer of any train will be permitted to cross a grade crossing with his train until signaled by the watehman that the roa is clear. This regulation will, it is believed, materi- ally lessen the accidents which every now and then startle the community, and the Comnussioners, anxious to reduce the Ma- bility to a minimum, will no doubt immedi- ately adopt it. Attorney Thomas submitted the proposed amendment today and the Commissioners did not have an opportunity to discuss it. It is understood, however, it will be taken up the first thing next weex and settled. In the event of an immediate approval of the regulation it wilt be advertised, and within thirty days become a law. The amendment reads: -\mend section 31, arti¢le X, of the po- lice regulations by striking out the first six lines thereof und inserting the 7sMow- ing: See. . That it shall be the duty of any railroad company owning or operating a railroad upon which locomotives and cars are run, occupying any road, street, avenue or public way within the District of Co- Jumbi to erect, maintain and cause to be operated safety .gates across every such rcad, street, avenue or public way as may be designatec by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, at the expense of th company so using such road, street, a’ nue or public way as aforesaid; that dur- ing the entire day and night each of the seid gates shall bein the charg: of a com- petent person, employed by the raiiroad cempany, who shall keep such gates closed while any locomotive or steam railway cars are occupying or crossing such road, street, avenue or public way at which ‘such gates are erected. And. it stall be unlawful for the engiteer in charge of any locomozive, or the conductor in charge of any train, to clcss any road, street, avenue or publi. Way, provided with safety gates as afore- said, except in obedience to a signal by the gateman that the gates are closed so as to prevent access to the track from tae highway, including the foot walks. And it shall be the duty of every such gateman, on the approach of any train of road cars, single railroad car or locomoiive, at any crcssing where safety gates are pro- vided, to lower the gates and signal tne Ineer or conductor in charge of such train, car or locomotive that the gates are clesed. This proposed regulation has not as yet been adopted by the Commissioners, al- though it is expected that such action will be taken at the next-session of the board when the subject is discussed.
