SEW FAILING BUILDING IN HILL'S CONTROL His Will Rules in Northern Pacific Affairs. CHIEF ENGINEER H'HENRY OUT Eff Admits That He Leaves BecaHse of Hill's InffHeaee-President Mel lea Is Expected to Follow for Same Reason. ST. PAUL, Minn., July 12.-Chlef Engi neer E. H. McHenrv. of th North Pacific, today tendered his resignation to I rresment .aieiien, to take effect Septem ber 1. Asked as to the causes for his re moval, Mr. McHenry replied: "I have not resigned because I need rest,, nor am In 111 health. Neither have I resigned to take a better position, or be cause I was asked to resign. I resigned because well, because. In trying to figure out the problem of grading reductions, I found a Hill which could not be over come." The Inference was plain, although Mr. McHenry declined to elaborate his re mark by further explanation. This Is the first positive evidence that J. J. Hill's in fluence Is more potent In Northern Pa cific affairs tfian that of its executives, and it is expected that President Mellen will retire soon. Indeed, It is known that his resignation was" handed in some time ago, but owing to a demand of the direct ors was withdrawn. Chief Engineer McHenry has been con nected with the Northern Pacific for 17, years. In 18S3 he entered the service of the company as a roadmaster in a crew o surveyors. He was soon promoted to I the position of le'veler; then became In turn transit man, resident engineer, as sistant engineer, principal assistant engi neer and chief engineer. He was chief engineer when the old Northern Pacific Company went to the wall. Mr. McHenry was chosen one of the receivers and filled the position with ability. Upon the re organization of the road, he was again made chief engineer, which occupation he has held since. SAN FRANCISCO RATES UP. Higher Tfcaa Before the Cat To Be gln. Sunday, July 21. The Southern Pacific yesterday Issued a circular announcing that commencing Sunday, .July 21, rebate rates from Port land to San Francisco, Oakland Pier or Sacramento,, will be $25, with rebate of. J3 75, making 125 .net first class, and $15, with rebate of $1, making $14 net cond class. Omviaif .same date, slrailtir.-rate aMWHwTHPcMWSlnWnjTWfWWt taa f ihearlocal ketw&e . -Portland amc'ih tUrnwiit6 p"birlt; &nd"h& Port land rate. It is understood that a corresponding ad vance will take Dlace at the same time on the O. R. & N. steamships, though no figures have yet been given out. Present rates by rail hetween Portland and San Francisco are as follows: First class, 525, with $8 rebate, Including sleep ing car berth; second class, $15, with $4 rebate, including sleeper. First-class sleep er Is $5 between the two points, and sec ond class $1 50. This makes the net fare first class 512 and second class 59 50. Tho advance Is to 521 25 and 5M respectively, net. Present rates by water are 512 cabin and is steerage, Including meals and berths In both cases. ' The present low rates are the result or continuation of a fight between the South ern Pacific and O. R. & 2., begun about six years ago. Rates then lor a while went to lor,er figures than how prevail, but some sort of truce was arranged by which the present prices were put Into effect and adhered to. Before the inaugu ration of that fight fares by rail were 520 and 515 respectively, and by water 516 and 58, and the rebate feature, by many re garded as objectionable, was unknown. Now the net fares go higher and rebates are required; that Is, the purchaser of a ticket pays more than the net fare and at the end of the journey the excess pay ment Is returned to him. This Is to in sure that the purchaser use the whole ticket, to guard against scalping. From Salem or Albany to San Francisco the rate will be the fare to Portland plus the fare from Portland t$ San Francisco. A Portland man desiring to go to one of those intermediate points could, if there were no precaution against it, buy a ticket to San Francisco, ride to his Intermediate destination and sell it for as much as It originally cost him, or more. The re bate ticket guards against this practice. The purchaser must go through or sacri fice the advance he made, wmch wouia be returned to him at the destination named in the ticket. Of course, there Is no need for this precaution by water, for there are no way landings. THE KLAMATH FALLS PROJECT. Survey Completed and Construction to Begin August i. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., July 12. The survey for the proposed railroad from Klamathon to Klamath Falls has been finished to Pokegama, a distance of 30 miles, and grade stakes are now being set as last as possible. It is generally understood that construction will begin August 1. and that the road will at least reach Pokegama before "Winter. From t that point to Klamath Falls it is thought the line will follow the survey made by the Oregon Midland Company last year. Will Use New Electric System. NE.W YORK, July 12. The Tribune says: According to statements made by a high official ot the New York Central Railroad, It will not be long before electricity will replace steam engines in the Park-avenue tunnel. The plan proposed Is to run all trains between some point not further south than Yonkers and the Grand Cen tral stations by means of the electric third rail, which, for the prevention of accidents, will be laid according to a re cently patented method. Dy which the rail remains dead until the car passes over it. Various details still vex the Central enl glneers, but the general scheme has prac tically been decided upon. It Is expected that the new system will be open for use within a year. Railroad Improvements at Olympia. .OLYMPIA. July 12.

J9Ci00--0 Western Missouri, Oklahoma and Indian Territory. Ove"r much" of this region this was the worst day of the long hot spell, the temperature being njore than 100. de-. grees and no breeze stirring. Corn, oats, hay and potatoes are so badly injured that even with rain the yield would be short, and as the Weather Bureau gives no hope ofrelIef, the outlook Is discour aging. At some places In Kansas there has been no rainfall whatever for nearly three months. The present As the worst drouth since 1SG0, when. New England sent food to the settlers of Kansas. However, the past few years hao been very pros perous ones, and even now the Kansas farmers are harvesting one of the largest crops of wheat in -the history of the state. A great many counties send word that with rain corn will "be half a crop; with out rain soon, no yield. A few say there Is yet hope for a -fair harvest. Hay sold this morning for $20 a ton, the highest price ever reached in this mar ket. Receipts were very small and most of the hav which came In was sold some time ago in the country before the'drouth became so serious. Hay Is so high here that it can be shipped in from Minnesota or Ohio or almost any state In the coun try that has a crop. Kansas and Mis souri, which usually furnish as much hay as any three Eastern states, and at this time of the year are usually shipping tralnloads of hay to other points, are buying hay this year. In numerous places there Is no pasturage, and owners of cat tle are shipping hay to their farms. Al falfa has yielded well everywhere and will be the 'salvation of many farmers. For the" past seven days 110,000 hogs have been received at the stock yards, breaking all records. These heavy ship ments are due to the scarcity of corn. In Kansas City for four hours this afternoon the" Government thermometer registered 103, while on the street in the down-town districts it soared to 10S and 110. Last night was one of the worst hot nights of which Kansas Cltyans have any recollection. Hardly a breath of a.lr has stirred here for the past 24 hours, and great suffering has resulted, es pecially among the poorer In the river bottoms. Five prostrations were reported in Kansas City, none so far fatal. At Joplln 105 degrees was reported. Paving contractors found It difficult to keep their men at work and men and horses at many of the zinc mines were compelled to quit at 2 o'clock for the day. But one rain has visited Joplln and the surrounding country since Mav 1, and several mlninc plants are on the vergo of shutting down because of the scarcity of water." At Springfield 104 was reported, tho highest In the history of the signal service there, and four prostrations -were report ed. At 2 o'clock it tv as 101 5 at Lawrence, Kan., and 104 at Atchison. At Leavenworth this was the hottest day yet experienced, the thermometer registering 100 at 10.30 toniglit, Mrs. Mary Miller was found dead In her doorway, the result of excessive heat. At Llnwood a man working on the rail road bridge was overcome by the heat, fell to the ground and was "killed. ESTIMATE OF CORN CROP. Kansas Will Produce Less Than a' Third of Last Year's Yield. TOPEKA, Kan., July 12. All records for heat In the 31 years' observations kept by Chancellor Snow, of the Univer sity of Kansas, were broken today, the mercury reaching a maximum average for the state of 105 5 degrees. In Fort Scott the mercury registered 110 degrees. 1 The heat was accompanied by a lleht breeze from the south, which came as breaths from a red-hot furnace, blasting and withering vegetation of all kinds. A careful perusal of crop reports from all parts of Kansas indicate that the stato will not raise 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 1S99. The fact that there has been no good rain for three months haB retarded the late corn. Opinions and reports differ as to the extent of the damage to corn. Sec retary Coburn, of the State Board of Agriculture, admits that the crop is prac tically a failure. While corn has failed, 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 burned during the last two weeks. The fires start from the slightest causes, so Intensely dry is every thing, and when they are once started there Is no water on hand with which to fight them. Trees are showing the ef fects of the drouth. Leaves are falling like late In the Summer. Half grown fruit is dying and dropping from the trees. Kansas Is stricken with a drouth worse than any since I860. Queerly enouch. the usual order of things has been reversed this time and the western part of the state Is in a much more S.

Fnrmeri Loss 850,000,000. CHICAGO, July 12. Today's advices to the Board of Trade and grain commission firms' dre that the damage outside ot Kansas and Missouri Is comparatively slight, but that unless there Is relief within the next 10 days the corn crop situation will approich a calamity. A message from Topeka, Kan., says the prospects are for a crop of but 50,000,000 bushels of com, although last year's crop was 163,000.000, and that of the previous year 237,000,000 bushels. The loss of hay and potatoes is also great, second only to the loss of corn. It Is estimated that the farmers of Kansas and Missouri have al ready lost $50,000,000 by the torridity and drouth. The scorching wnlch the grain crops, especially corn, have received, together with the destructive possibilities of fur ther drouth, was reflected in exciting ad vances In the leading cereals on the Board of Trade. September corn sold at 54 cents, 3 cents higher than yesterday's close; September wheat at &$ cents, 3Vi cents higher, and September oats at 32 cents, 2 cents higher. The closing prices were firm. . Hot Throughout Nebraska. OMAHA, July 12. The heat today was Intense. The thermometer reached 104 and ranged from 100 to 107 throughout the state. The street thermometers In this city were as high as 110 during the day. Hardly a breath of air stirred dur ing the day. OKLAHOMA LAND OPENING. Speculators and Trespassers Find Themsehes Shut Out WASHINGTON, July " 12. Secretary Hitchcock said today that the reports from the Oklahoma registration showed that the crowds in that country had di gested thoroughly the President's procla mation and realized that there was no chance for speculators. Intruders, tres passers, gamblers, etc. "The peoule," said the Secretary, "real ize that! the lands are being opened in good faith to everybody legally Qualified, and that what is given them.

Following is the telegraphic report re ceived at the Interior Department today from Assistant Commissioner Richards at El Reno, dated last night: "Registered here today, 6500; at Sill yes terday, about 1100. No report of number registered there today. Everything moving- smoothly at both places. Crowd thinned so much that? we will only work from 9 until 4 o'clock tomorrow, unless a great number come In."

HELD ON AN ISLAND Forty-seven Japanese Spir ited Away on Fraser' River. WORK OF UNION FISHERMEN Officers Are Trying: to Locate the Island There Is Sew Talk of Calling: Ont th Militia, VANCOUVER, B. C, Julj 12. There are now 47 Japanese prisoners guarded by the salmon strikers and marooned on a, small Island In the Gulf of Georgia, ac cording to the official statement of the union fishermen this evening. The pro vincial police are trying to ascertain, the location of this Island, for although the authorities do not like to admit that Jap anese have been spirited away in the manner alleged by the strikers. It Is un deniable that the Orientals are missing, and the statement that they are prison ers of the union fishermen Is generally accepted as true. The captive Japanese, whose offense is that they fished when the union fishermen had declared a strike, are being fed regularly and will be kept prisoners as long as possible. Others will be put on the Island as cap tured, provided the present plan of the striking union men Is maintained. Frank Rogers, a prominent member of the fishermen's executive board and ex superintendent of the Fishermen's Union, was arrested today on account of the allegation that he had been mixed up in the marooning of the Japanese at Bowen Island Wednesday night. Joe Desplae, another union leader was arrested for the same reason this afternoon. Six other strikers, who were arrested yester day for Intimidation and conspiring against the Japanese, were today held to answer In the Supreme Court by the Stipendiary Magistrate. It is currently reported that a Japanese was drowned to day during a fight on the river with A boat of the strikers patrol. The police credit the report. There was little new In the situation today from the standpoint of the can nerymen. No reports of further trouble on the river had been reported up to a late hour this evening. , The fish were running today in Iarga numbers, and by Sunday a good run Is expected. The canners declare that theo Is no possibility of the Japanese causing any trouble. AMERICA'S PROFITS. ar In LONDON, July 12.-The Statist, In the codrse of an article examining the finan cial position of the United States, will say tomorrow: "The figures of our trade with America, conclusively show the enormous profits which the United States1 Is making In for eign trade. For the first six months of the present year our Imports from tho United States have been nearly 69,000,000, as against a little over 59,000.000 in 1900. while our exports to the United States were worth only 7,000.000, as against 8 0CO.0CO. This means that for the year ended June 30, we have bought 149,000, OCO In produce from the United States, while they have bought of us 18.000.000.
