2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY JULY 13 SCHLEY’S SUCCESSOR SAILS FOR RE-ESTABLISHED STATION Rear Admiral J. B. Cromwell in Command of Uncle Sam’s Warships in European Waters. — ALL BURBAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, July 12— Formal orders were recently is- sued by the Navy Department for the re-establishment of the Euro- pean station, with headquarters at Ville- franche, France. For the present the new station is to be commanded by Rear Ad- miral Cromwell, who succeeded Admiral Schley on the latter's detachment last spring. ‘The fleet comprises his flagship Chicago and the cruisers Albany and Nashville, now en route home from Ma- nila. These lgtter ships will be stopped in the Mediterranean and held there pend- ing Admiral Cromwell's arrival on the station. s cross to Gibraltar he will as- nd the latter part of this nth, and there be joined by the Manila ntingent. His departure leaves but two on the South Atlantic, with a cap- senfor officer, and opens up ther flag command, which will not be for the present unless affairs im Ar- gentina demand the presence of a stronger squadron and a higher ranking mits of the European station are 4 at the entrance of the Red Sea nd a line running north and -3 3 [ ] CITY ASSUMES ITS HOLIDAY ATTIRE TO WELCOME HOST OF LEAGUERS | south through the Atlantic from the southernmost point of Greenland to Para on the north coast of Brazil, and thence eastward.

Eminent Christian Teacher Talks In- | terestingly of a Former Visit. “I have not been interviewed for thirty eight years and I must decline to be ia terviewed now,” said Dr. J. M. Buckle editor of the New York Christian Advo- cate, to a representative of The Call last night. “Why?” “Well, that is 'a long story. T got into some controversy long | ago by being Interviewed. It was not the | fault of the interviewer nor my fault. It | was because what I had said was repub- lished elsewhere with the questions elimi- | nated, giving my language an entirely dif- erent construction.” And then Dr. Buckley, reassured upon the point that he would be tempted into no religious controversy, talked most en- tertainingly of matters and things.

In Kansas City for four hours this afternoon the Government thermometer registered 103, while the reury on the street in the downtown tricts soared to 108 and 110. Last night was one of the worst nights of which Kansas City people have recoi lection. Hardly a breath of air has stir- red here for the past twenty-four hours and great suffering has resulted, espe- cially among the poor along the river bot- Five prostrations were reported in Kansas City, none so far fatal. At Joplin 105 degrees was reported. Pav- ing contractors found it difficult to keep thefr men at work, and men and horses | at many of the zinc mines were compelled to quit at 2 o’clock. But one rain has vis ited Joplin and fhe surrounding country since May and several mining plants are on the verge of shutting down because of the scarcity of water. At Springfield 104 was . recorded, the highest in the history of the signal ser- vice there, and four prostrations were re- ported. LEAVENWORTH, Kans., July 12—This was the hottest day yet experienced in this city, the thermometer registering 100 at 10:30 to-night. Mrs. Mary Miller was | tound dead in her doorway, the result of excessive heat. At Linwood, in the south- ern part of the county, a man working on the railroad bridge was overcome by the hvlart and fell o the ground, killing him- self. ‘Warm Wave Strikes Kansas. TOPEKA, Kans, July 12—All records for heat in the thirty-four years' observa- tions which have been kept by Chancellor Snow of the University of Kansas were broken to-day, the mercury reaching a maximum_average for the “State of 106.5 degrees. In Fort Scott the mercury reg- istered 110 degrees. The heat was accom- panied by a light breeze from the south, which came 2s a breath from a furnace, flaéflng and withering vegetation of all nds. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., July 12—This was the hottest day of the summer here. At 10 o'clock it was 94 degrees, the highest point reached at that hour this season. ST. LOUIS, July 12.—According to the Weather Bureau officials there is no re- lief from the intense heat in sight. At noon the Government thermometer reg- istered 96 degrees in the shade, and is still rising. In parts of Missouri and ‘Western Illinols, where the crops are be- ing literally burned by a temperature that during the past two days ranged as high as 110 in the shade, records of thirty years have been broken. At 2 p. m. the mercury had reached the 100 mark. LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 12—The ther- mometer fell rapidly last night from yes- terday's record of 103, and at 9 o'clock this ‘morning stood at 80 degrees, with a pleasant breeze. 2 OMAHA, Neb., July 12—The hedt to- day has been intense. The thermometer reached 104 and ranged from 100 to 107 throughout the State. The street ther- mometers in this city were as high as 110 during the day. Hardly a breath of alr stirred, LONDON, July 13.—Violent thunder- storms and 'tropical rains in various parts of Great Britain last night moderated the fervent heat. In Brussels, however, the thermometer registered 107 degrees in the shade and several heat fatalities oc- curred. The weather continues very hot in France, the temperature yesterday be- infi §1%.

LR F) Without Rain Cereals and Staple Vegetables Will Be a Total Fail- ure in the Stricken District. S L KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 12.—No rain fell to-day in any part of the drought- stricken district, consisting of all of Kan- sas, Western Missouri, Oklahoma and In- ian Territory. Over much of this region this was the worst day of the long | hot spell, the temperature being more than 100 degrees and no breeze stirring. Corn, oats, hay and potatoes are so badly injured that even with rain this yleld { would be short, and as the Weather Bu- | reau gives no hope of relief, the outlook is discouraging. At some places in kan- | sas there has been no rainfall whatever | for nearly three months. The present is the worst drought since 1860, when New | England sent food to the settlers of Kan- sas. However, the past few years have | been very prosperous ones, and even now the Kansas farmers are harvesting one of the largest crops of wheat in the history of the Stats. A great many counties send word that with rain corn will be a half crop; without rain soon, no yield. A few say there is yet hope for a fair harvest. High Price for Hay. Hay sold tnis morning for $20 a ton, the highest price ever reacned in this market. Receipts were very small and most of the hafwhlch came 1In was soid some time ago in the country before the drought be- came too serious. Hay is so high here that it can be shipped in _from Minnesota or | Onio or almost any State in the_ country | that has a crop. Kansas and Missouri, { which usually furnish as much hay as {any three Eastern States and at this time | of the year are usually shipping trainloads jof hay to other points, are buying hay this year. In numerous places there is no_pasturage and owners of cattle are shipping hay to their farms. Alfalfa has yielaed well everywhere and will be the salvation of many farmers. For the past five days 110,000 hogs have Dbeen received at the stock yards, break- ing all records. These heavy shipments are due to the scarcity of corn. A Topeka special says: A careful per- | usal of crop reports from all parts of the | State indicates that Kansas will not ralse more than 50,000,000 bushels of corn this [ year. The crop will thus be less than a | third of last year's yield and less than a fifth of 1899's. The Jate corn is all that will vield anything, the early product being given up mcre than two weeks ago. The fact that there has been no good rain for three months has retarded the late corn. Corn Crop-a Failure. Opinions and reports differ as to the ex- tent of the damage to corn. Secretary Coburn of the State Board of Agriculture admits_that the crop is practically a fail- ure. Whilg corn has failéd, alfalfa has given an abundant yield. Wheat is nearly all in the stack. As | many as 20,000 acres of wheat in the stack have been ed dnring the last two weeks, .

Dr. Frederico Errazuriz y Echaurren, President of the Republic of Chile, was born at Santlago in 1850. He studled for the law and took his degree in 1573, but having little taste for the legal profession, and possessing large estates, he devoted his attention principally to improvements in agriculture. In 1§76 he was elected Deputy to Congress for the Department of Constitucion, and, belng elected in 1879, continued to represent that department until 1889, when he was chosen as Senator for the Province of. Maule. Eleven years ago, when the conflict between the late President Balmaceda and the C Tess. as- sumed alarming proportions, Senor Bel- isarlo Prats was summoned by the Presi- dent to organize a Ministry, and to Erra- zurlz was confided the difficult and un- legrateful post of Minister of War. In this capacity he displayed remarkable tact and energy. In 1891 Senor Prats’ Ministry resigned, and when the revolution broke out soon afterward Errazuriz at once declared him- seif on the side of the revolutionary party. When the contest ended in favor of Congress, he took the foremost part in proclaiming the necessity of a policy of ‘forget and forgive.” His election ' as President. in June, 1896, proved popular with all classes of Chileans, and his watchword of ‘“‘Peace and Progress” met with general respect. He was the second Fight and CINCINNATI, July 12.—The machinists’ | strike, which was organized on May 20 and which involved several thousand em- ployes in this city, has practically been declared off. A secret mass-meeting -of strikers was held to-day, at which a| formal report was made that it had been found impossible to procure essistance in money from tho headquarters in Wash- ington, as the strike benefit fund is ex- hausted, and the strikers were advised to return to work. Already about 600 men have applied for reinstatement, and many more will do so to-morrow and Monday. No official state- ment has been made by the leaders of the strikers, and they all refuse to be quoted, saying that they do not care to do any. thing that might affect the injunction gmceed(ngs agninst them, set for hearing uly 15. It is said that the decision to re- turn to work was not unanimous and that some men will still hold out. A meeting of the shop committeemen of striking machinists from the various con- cerns affected was held in Workingmen's Hall to-night. At the conclusion of the limeeting a statement was given out em- phatically denying the report that the strike had been called off. It is learned that while it was left discretionary with the men in a number of shops to return without any odium being involved as de- serting the strike, several firms were picked out on which the fight is to be prosecuted. » The men in these shops have pledged to remain out, and those who re- turn will support them. Should any of | these shops attempt to transfer their work to those in which the men return ;the men have cgreed to refuse to handle The various shops were visited during the day by committees of their respective employes, who made requests for the terms under which they would allow them to return to work. There were approxi- mately 3500 machinists involved in the strike here, and of these the strikers say about 10 per cent have already returned Those shops affected by the decision of the union to continue the fight employ about 1100 men. WASHINGTON, July 12.—At the head- quarters of the International Association of Machinists here President O’Conneil admitted that the collapse of the strike at Cincinnati was likely to have consi erable effect on the general strike, Cincinnati has been regarded as the cen- ter of the fighting, but reiterated that @ -ttt bl @ FRICTION STORY DENIED BY OTIS Declares That He Did Not Have ’Trouble With MacArthur. CHICAGO, July 12—When asked con- cerning the alleged friction between him- gelf and General MacArthur, General Otis said to-day: There was no friction between General Mac- Arthur and myself when I was in command in the Philippines. General MacArthur was a sub- ordinate officer, and how could there be any friction_between a subordinate officer and his superior? General MacArthur once recommended that T issué a oroclamation of amnesty to all who surrendered and & declaration that any one who should kill an American soldier thereafter would be considered a murderer. I declined to act on that recommendation, but don't remem- ber my exact words. I might have told him that no further advice on this subject was de- sired by the commanding general. That is a thing that {s frequently necessary for a commanding officer to do. The time was not ripe for the lssuing of such a proclamation. The facts which General MacArthur advanced in support of his recommendation had already become matters of consideration with me. At that time we controlled only a small part of the islands, and had no adequate means of making such a proclamation known to the natives who were not under our immediate control.

BOSTON, July 12.—Breaking r1ecords from forty minutes to two hours, inclu- sive, Jimmy Moran won the golden wheel six-day race at Charles River Park to- night, ‘scoring in the two hours of riding the hitherto untouched distance of seven- ty-four miles 1172 yards. Every man in the race broke the record of last year's golden wheel race. The score: Moran, 418 miles 1040 yards; Stinson, 411 miles 452 yards; Champion, 400 miles 45 yards; Mal- son, 393 miles 16556 yards. 0il for the Locomotives.

LTIMORE, July —About 200 ma- chinists decided to-day to give up the fight for a nine-hour working day and to apply for reinstatement in the shops of the Maryland Steel Company, on Mon- day, at the old terms. This brings the machinists’ strike to an end in this city. About 1200 men employed in various shops laid down their tools, and the majority of them were granted their demands. PITTSBURG, July 12.—The second day of the conference between the Amalg: mated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers and the steel 'manufacturers came to a close to-night without an agre ment having been reached. Another ses- sion will be held to-morrow and from in- dications late to-night a settlement of the general strike will be decided upon. When the conference adjourned all of the con- ferces were appealed to for information as to the status of affairs, but nothing de- finite could be learned. Late to-night, however, President Shaffer of the Amal- gsamated Association consented to be quoted in the following statement: Nothing actually was accomplished to-day. No proposition was submitted by either side to the con‘roverty. No time has been set on the conferen.¢, but it must come to an end. To-morrow i<l settlé it one way or another. If no agreement is reached, the general strike which was set for last Monday will proceed. I am still hoping for a settlement. ‘When asked if in the. event of a strike it would involve all the plants of the United Shaffer replied that every union man in every plant in any way connected with the steel corpgs tation would be called out. A generdl strike, if ordered, would include the union workers in the Federal Steel Company, the National Steel Company, the Ameri- can Tin Plate Company, the American Sheet Steel Company, the National Tube Company and the American Steel Hoop Company; and all union members in non- union or open mills, aggregating about 60.000 men, would be affected. It is believed by conservative steel men that a compromise will be reached to-mor- ow and a strike averted. President Shaf- er himself, while not stating that he is prepared to initiate a compromise, inti- mated that should one come .from the other side he would gladly meet it half way and concede anything not compr mising his people. Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the steel combine executive committee, was in_the city all day, prac- tically incognito. He did ot take part in the conference directly nor did he take part in the meeting; but it is learnetl on | nigh aathority to-night that he was ne< far away from the meeting and was cog- nizant of everything that transpired. ‘Without making public in any way the purpose of his visit here, he left for Chi- lctfl%o to-night on the Pennsylvania lim- ed.
