lower Temperature Was Due to
Thunder Storms, and Cooler Days
Are Predicted.
WASHINGTON, July 4. Tonight's re
ports at the Waether Bureau show that
extreme high temperature continues over
a large section of the country affected by
the hot wave, but that In quite a number
of localities the thermometer was a few
degrees lower than yesterday. In some
others it was higher. The lower tempera
tures that were recorded were due mainly
to local thunder storms, and it is said
that a gradual reduction of the extreme
heat will result from these stdrms. The
officials will not venture an opinion as to
the possibility of a cool wave making Its
appearance, but content themselves with
the simple statement of the probability of
a steady lowering of the high tempera
ture through atmospheric conditions.
West of the Mississippi, where the ther
mometer has been very high, the mod
eration in temperatures from, expected
thunder storms will be much sharper

Prominent Democrats Spoke Letter
of Regret From Bryan.
NEW YORK. July 4. Tammany Hall
held Its regular Independence Day cele
bration, at which the Declaration of
Independence was read and speeches were
made by Governor Jennings, of Florida,
and other leaders of the Democratic
party. The following letter of regret from
W. J. Bryan, dated Washington, June 29,
was read:
"I congratulate Tamafany upon the
fidelity it has shown in celebrating each
returning anniversary of the signing of
the Declaration of Independence. I trust
that at this time, when the Republican
leaders are denying the universal appli
cation of the self-evident truths set forth
in that declaration special emphasis will
be given to the assertion that govern
ments derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed. In response to
your request for a sentiment appropriate
for the occasion, I beg to suggest the fol
lowing: 'Liberty is not safe without a
written constitution and a constitution to
be of value must be strong enough to con
trol every public servant and broad
enough to include within its protection
every person who acknowledges allegi
ance to the flag.' "

PROFESSOR JOHN FISKE DEAD.

FAMOUS LECTURER
GLOUCESTER, Mass., July 4.-
the famous lecturer and historian, died today at Hawthorne Inn, East
Gloucester.
He came to this city yesterday ajternoos, and was taken ill soon
after arriving at the hotel. The cause of death was excessive heat, of
which he had complained for two days. He was 59 years of age, and
was for many years connected with Harvard.
JohnFiske, the eminent historian, was born in Hartford, Conn.,
March 30, 1S17. He graduated at Harvard College In 1863, and at the Har
vard Law School in 1865. He was university lecturer on philosophy at
Harvard, 1869-1871, and assistant librarian there, 1872-1879. He was author
of a number of noted works. His early work was devoted to philosophy,
and later in life his researches were largely historical.
.
at a ford on Beaver Creek, and again
where they crossed the Dry Fork. Infor
mation, that reached here late today is
that the posse came In sight of the men
about 3 o'clock today, near the ranch,
and, driving them In, surrounded them.
It Is probable that they will not be cap
tured until after a severe fight, and at
the latest advices Sheriff Griffith had not
made the attack.
The bandits are believed to be housed
In the ranch buildings, which of
fer every protection for a siege.
The posse may not try to force
their capture until reinforcements are re
ceived. It is understood that another
posse from south of the Missouri, in the
direction of Fort Hawley, will Join Sher
iff Griffith at Allen's ranch. The Sheriff's
posse has not been able to obtain descrip
tions of the men, although Sheriff Griffith
was a passenger on the train that was
robbed, ana saw the men escape across
the plains on their horses. The gang was
identified today by their horses, and when
observed through field glasses the white,
bay and buckskin on which they were
mounted after the robbery were plainly
seen.
Contrary to first reports, the men are
not experienced train robbers. Informa
tion from Wagner and near-by points Is
that they have been partially Identified as
cowpunchers employed on a ranch lying
south of the Milk River. One Is a half
breed, as was believed at the time of
the robbery., He is known to be the man
who boarded the express east of Wagner
and forced the engineer and fireman to
bring It to a stop at the head of the ra
vine in which his confederates were hid
den. The authorities have been unable to
clearly Identify the robbers, but it Is
thought that with the information ob
tained their previous records can easily
be ascertained.
The work of tracking was extremely dif
ficult, owing to the nature of the coun
trybad lands, broken throughout by
foothills and the eastern end of the Lt
tle Rocky Range. Across the line of the
Fort Belknap reservation, only a few miles
distant, there are excellent hiding places,
and it is believed If the bandits should
evade cupture tonight and once get In
this ground, it would be almost Impossible
to find them.
Information received from Havre Is that
neither Traveling Auditor Douglass, of
Clancey, Mont, nor Brakeman Whiteside
was hit in the fusillade from the bandits
at the time of the robbery. Gertrude
Smith, of Tomah, Wis., a passenger in
the tourist car, who was shot in the arm,
was immediately attended by a surgeon,
who found that she had sustained nothing
more serious than a flesh wound. This
was treated and bandaged and she con
tinued her journey in company with her
aunt to Seattle.
It Is probable that the first estimate of
the loss, $S3,000, Is somewhat excessive. Re
liable information received today Is that
$70,000 was secured, and that this, -with
the damage to the through express ship
ments resulting from the explosions In
the car, will represent the entire loss of
the company. No Information concerning
the consignees of the money In the
through safe Is obtainable. It Is under
stood that a considerable part was In
the shape of shipments west from Chicago
banks and other financial institutions.
Killed Another, Then Himself.
COLUMBUS,. O., July 4. Thomas S.
Holding was shot and killed by Albert
Johnson, who then killed himself with a
Krak-Jorgensen rifle at the United States
barracks in this city today. The men
were Sergeants in the general recruiting
service. It is stated at the barracks that
they had been quarreling just before the
tragedy.
$050,000 Fire In Baltimore.
BALTIMORE, July 4. The six-story
brick and Iron building at the corner of
North and Lexington streets, known as
the Hoen Building, was completely de
stroyed by fire today. All the floors ex.
cept the first were occupied by Hoen &
Co., lithographers and printers. Their loss
is a serious one, ahd may reach $300,000, as
they had many valuable cuts and 11th
ographlc apparatuses, which It is
almost Impossible to replace. The other
occupants of the building were the South
ern Electric Company, the Hammers
Typewriter Company, the Cash Coal Com
pany, Gateley & Haskell, bookbinders;
Baltimore County Mutual Fire Insurance
Company, and the Belgravia Land Com
pany. A rough estimate places the dam
age to these concerns at $150,000. The loss
on the building will probably reach ?200.

all of which Is said to be covered by ln

THE MOHAMMEDAN PROBLEM.
General Bates Says It Is a Most
Serious One.
NEW YORK, July 4. "The fact that
millions or more Mohammedans have been
brought under our flag in the Philippines
senders statehood or territorial govern
ment for some of the population of the
islands an Impossibility for many years
to come," said General John C. Bates, for
merly in command of the Department of
Southern Luzon, in an Interview here.
"Believers in the Koran occupy the
southern half of Mindanao and the Islands
to the southward. Their conversion to the
Christian faith Is considered by many as
hopeless, though Jesuit missionaries have
gone among them. They were won to the
Mohammedan faith from their native pa
ganism by Mohammedan missionaries who
had an outpost in Borneo.
"The relations of the Christians and
Mohammedans in Mindanao are not alto
gether harmonious. According to the
original mandate of their prophet, the
latter were told to kill all unbelievers un
less such a slaughter should Interfere
with their own. advantage. The Jesuits
deal with them so diplomatically, how
ever, that outbreaks are infrequent The
Mohammedans will grow Jealous and hos
tile, however, as soon as the zeal of the
Christian missionary becomes greater than
his tact The United States has dealt
liberally with them, however, in order
to show that it has no partiality to any
creed or religion. They are called Moroa
or Moors by the Spanish, after their an
cient enemies. These Mohammedans wel
comed our rule. They said they were
glad of the protection which we can offer
them, and that they dreaded conquest
from some European or Oriental power
which would use them for its own ag
grandizement. Many of them practice
polygamy. The example of the Sultan
of the Sulus is already famous.
"If the Philippines, therefore, are to re
main a part of the United States we will
have to face a new and most serious
question, to be known as the Mohamme
dan problem. How can it be solved, I can
not say."

WANT MONEY, NOT GOODS
AMERICA CAN NEVER HOLD GOOD
TRADE IN RUSSIA.
Its 'Ministers and Our Ambassador,
However, Are Trying: to Settle
Sugar Dispute.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 4. When
Secretary Gage's action In Imposing coun
tervailing duties on Russian sugar ex
ported to the United States, was followed
by so .disproportionate a reprisal as the
imposition of30 per cent increase duties
on the most important American impor
tations here, tne importers of American
tools and machinery seemed stunned.
They are disposed to support Russia on
the legal aspect, but some of them re-examined
the matter and concluded that
the Russian sugar regulations amount
to a practical compulsion to manufacture
for export. They still doubt the expe
diency ot Secretary Gage's action, but
latterly they have concluded that while
the policy was mistaken, of which, after
all, Washington knowing the complete
facts and fostering American Interests
throughout the world, was the best judge,
it does not follow that a backdown is
now expedient. They hold that such a
precedent would weaken American com
mercial and political prestige. It Is, of
course, inconvenient for importers whoso
Incomes depend on Russian trade.
The actual effects of the discriminating
duties have not been as disastrous as
expected. The decrease in Asiatic im
ports is dhlefly due to the abolition of
the open port at Vladlvostock. Attention
la directed to tho declination of the Rus
sian authorities to permit the importa
tion of goods which the Russians can
produce, no matter what they cost This
policy, more than this tariff, obstructs
foreign trade. It is recalled, that the
government recently narrowly restricted
the use of foreign goods In the Russian
army and navy factories, and that the
same policy is pursued wherever the gov
ernment influence extends. Inasmuch as.
this influence is limited merely by will, a
somewhat pessimistic view of the future
of foreign trade is held here. Lawyers
representing the largest financial inter
ests in America who were recently here,
offered $40,000,0000 to build the Vlatka
Railroad, provided a proportion of Ameri
can materials was used. The categorical
reply from the Minister of Finance was
that not one pound of such material could
be used. Ihe syndicate then refused to
accept the concessions, as it did not want
bond investments, but was chiefly desir
ous of securing another outlet for Ameri.
can goods.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press was authoritatively Informed, in this
connection, that under the present cir
cumstances the use of foreign railroad
materials is impossible. The same syn
dicate declined extensive fishing privil
eges in Eastern Siberia, because Russian
engineers were required and the Russians
retained full control of the enterprise.
A representative of an American house
whose business has been almost annihi
lated by the prohibitions, recently signed
a letter to a newspaper declaring that
Russia was wrong" on the sugar question.
The correspondent of- the Associated
Press today talked with the representative
of an American house whose tremendous
business Is suffering to an unusual de
gree from the discriminating duties and
also from the prohibitions. He said:
"Undoubtedly the Russian sugar regu
lations contain a cunningly devised
bounty. The cardinal point Is that a com
pany capable of producing over 60,000
poods annually must sell part of tho ex
cess whether 10 or a million poods, abroad,
since the share of each company in tho
domestic market, excepting the 60,000
poods allowed each concern, Is prorated
according to the total of the. previous
year's production and exported sugar is
not taxed. Producers, therefore, calcu
late the points where the losses on for
eign sales overbalance the profits on pro.
tected and regulated domestic sales. M.
De Witle, the Financial Minister,
shrewdly pitted steel against sugar. He
Is quoted as repeating the charge that
Secretary Gage la taking an Interest la
American sugar and oil trusts. This
is somewhat unguarded on his part, con
sidering the close relations between the
Russian sugar and steel Interests and tho
Government. He apparently displayed
more feeling than the Intrinsic value of
the sugar trade with the United States
necessitated. Perhaps this is due partially
to the fact that the imperial family and
other influential people are largely In
terested In the sugar Industry. Whether
Mr. Gage acted advisedly In the first in
stance is one question whether truck
ling. Is now a politic expedient is an
other question. The United States must
meet Russia half way. But If Russia
desires a commercial war we should
fight Russia does not intend to allow
the United States, Germany or any other
nation to have permanent and profitable,
trade here. Russia wants foreign money,
not foreign goods. Whether Russia Is
trying to bluff or bully, the
Americans who support M. De
Wltte against Secretary Gage are
playing her game. It is declared here
that Russia will never allow Washington
to construe her sugar laws. But neither
can the United States recognize the Rus
sian interpretation of our tariff."
It is known hero that the United States
Ambassador, Mr. Tower, who hastened
back to St. Petersburg from his leave of
absence, has been, during the last few
days, in personal communication with
tho minister of foreign affairs. Count
Lansdorff, and M. De Wltte upon the
subject of the present tariff disagreement,
and it can be said authoritatively that the
negotiations are being carried on In the
most friendly manner, and that the Rus.
slan authorities hope for and expect a
speedy and amicable adjustment of the
question in dispute.
BANNER3IAN WAXED HOT.
Objected to Being? Called a Pro-Boer
hy Salisbury.
LONDON, July 4. In the House of Com
mons tonight, an acrimonious discussion
arose between the Radicals and the Gov
ernment on the South African war, Mr.
Lloyd-Georgemand and others violently
denouncing the Government's war policy.
William Redmond, Nationalist, reminded
the Government that the day was inde
pendence day beyond the seas, and that
British statesmen were now glad to claim
kinship with and sing hosannas to greet
the Independent America. The anniver
sary, be Insisted, ought to be a lesson
to them. Mr. Brodrick. the War Secre
tary, amid continued disorders and Inter,
ruption from the Irish benches, reproached
the pro-Boer Radicals with prolonging
the war by encouraging the Boers to a
vain resistance He announced that the
government had Just received news that
Commandant-General Louis Botha had
permission' in Juno to communicate with
Mr. Kruger, the result of which was a
meeting at which General Dewet, Gen
eral Botha and others decided to continue
the war and to accept no terms short of
independence. Mr. Brodrick added that
the government's resolution was still un
shaken, and that great progress had been
made In the war during the last three
months. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman,
who supported the Radical attack, de
clared that the government should en
deavor to concilllate brave opponents.
Arthur J. Balfour, Government leader,
protested vigorously against the pro-Boer
attitude of the opposition, declaring that
It prolonged the war, and Inflicted untold
suffering upon an innocent population. He
taunted Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman
with having long sat upon the fence, but
finally having made up his mind and de
scended on the. pro-Boer side.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman leaped
up and angrily exclaimed that Mr. Bal
four might call him what he liked, but
he had no right to use a term Intended
to be offensive.
Mr. Balfour thereupon said he would
willingly withdraw the term "pro-Boer,"
if it were offensive. Continuing his
speech, he declared lhat It was not Eur
ope -nor the United States who encour
aged the Boer to resist, but that the
chief encouragement was contributed by
the speeches of the members of the op
position in the House of Commons. The
debate was adjourned.
The debate arose on the second read
ing of the war loans bill authorizing the
Chancellor of the Exchequer to provide
60,000 by creating consols during the
current year. The reading was carried by
267 to 87.
The opposition attacked the government
on the ground of the difficulty of recover
ing any considerable portion of the cost
of the war from the annexed colonies.
A dispatch read by Mr. Brodrick was
a proclamation Issued by Messrs. Schalk
burger & Steyn detailing the result of
General Botha's communication with Mr.
Kruger, being to the effect that Mr. Kru
ger and the Boer delegates In Europe still
had hopes of a eatiafactory Issue of the
war.
RUSSELL'S REQUEST GRANTED
Hearing of Bigamy Chnrge Post
poned Until August.
LONDON. July 4. The petition of Earl
Russell for a postponement of his trial
was presented at a special session of
the House of Lords to-day. The peti
tion for postponement was granted, and
the hearing adjourned until August 6.
Earl Russell and his counsel occupied
seats In the bar of the House, whUe the
Countess, formerly Mrs. Somervllle, was
seated In the box of the Black Rod, Gen
eral Sir Michael Blddulph. After the open
ing ceremonies of the House of Lords,
Earl Russell himself approached the bar
and handed the petition to a clerk, who
read the document.
Counsel for Earl Russell, In supporting
the application, suggested that his Lord
ship's proceedings in Nevada had been
approved by high legal authority in tho
United States. Evidence in regard to
the decrees and domicile in Nevada could
only be given in America by the witnesses,
and must be prepared with great full
ness and care. The Attorney-General op
posed the postponement He said Judge
Curler, of Nevada, Is an essential wit
ness, and he must be back home at the
end of August. Therefore, if the appli
cation were granted, possibly the prosecu
tion might collapse.
After consultation, the Lord Chancellor
announced that an adjournment was
granted to August 6, and that no further
delay would be permitted. It Is said to be
quite possible that Earl Russell will elect
to stand trial on the original date, July
IS, as his lawyers consider the extension
of time quite Insufficient to obtain the evi
dence It is desired to collect in Ne
vada. MISSIONARIES RETURN.
