For Forty Years,
States
Washington, D. C. Not in the past
4'1 years have temperatures in the
United States during the late spring
and early summer been so uniformly
high for so long a |>eriod and over
such a large portion of the country ax
this year, according to Weather Bu
reau officials. The high temperatures
were most pronounced over the more
central and northern portions of the
country, while the Southern states
were comparatively exempt from un
usual heat.
The intense heat over the more pop
ulous sections chusim I severe suffering
in the congested portions of the cities
and result«! in the loss of probably
thousands of lives.
Lack of rainfall over the great agri
cultural districts during most of the
long heated period greatly retarded
vegetable growth and threatened a
serious curtailment of crop produc
tion.
Opportune rains, however,
with cooler weather, greatly improv«!
conditions, and the outlook at the
present time is favorable for the
gathering of the usual harvests of
most great staples.
The |>eriod of greatest discomfort
was from June 22 to July 10. Higher
temperatures occurr«l at other periods
over much of the territory, but the
resulting discomfort and loss of hu

PROCEEDINGS
Washington, Aug. 4.
Standing
upon chairs, waving handkerchiefs
and yelling, Democratic representa
tives today acclaim«! Representative
Undurw'xxl, of Alabama, Democratic
leader of the house, when he attacked
William J, Bryan for criticising his
opinion on the tariff revision program.
It caused the most remarkable scene
in the house since the beginning of
the extra session of congress.
UnilerwtMxi denounced Mr. Bryan's
statement as false, defend«! his own
attitude as to revision of th» iron and
steel schedules, and said Bryan had
pine«) upon every Democratic member
implications unfounded in fact. He
called on his Democratic colleagues of
the Ways and Means committee for
corroboration.
Mr. Underwood was back«! up by
Representative Kitchin, of North Car
olina, long a devoted friend of Bryan.
It all came about from a published
interview which purported to be “au
thorized” by Mr. Bryan, declaring it
was time Democratic Leader Under
went! wax "unmasked.”
"Speaker Clark and other tariff re
formers tried to secure the passage of
a resolution instructing the ways and
means eommiteee to take up other

schedule, but Underwood and Fitz-
geralel the Fitzgeralel who xav«l Can-

Taking the position that White
might not have had enough literary
ability to write the confession which
he claims to have written, the attor
ney led him through mazes of religion,
history and literature, eliciting the
assertion that in Roman history it is
told how the "Deities levied on their
subjects to build the pyramids," and
other statements of «jual interest to
spectators.
Hanecy then secured admissions
from White that letters written to

New York Admiral Togo left New

His departure had a feature quite as
unusual as his midnight arrival and
welcome in New York bay the night
before, for he left the city in the cab
of a big electric engine, drawing a
heavy Pennsylvania train for the capi
tal.
Although the private car Olivette,
which the government has provided
for him, was attach«! to the train, the
naval hero elected to sit by the en

the 4,000-horeepower motor.

tariff bill, the third of the big tariff
revision measures brought forward by
the Democratic house of representa
tives, passed that body tonight, 202
to 91.
The bill cuts the average tariff on
cotton manufactur«! goods from 46 to
27 per cent ad valorem, a 21 per cent
reduction.
The Democratic leaders
estimate that it reduces revenue by
about $3,000,000.
Not an amendment was offered to
the bill, although the Republicans at
tacked it vigorously on account of the
alleged increase in certain items over
the rates of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law.

which surprised the Republicans.
He asked for a conference on all the
amendments to the free list bill, ex
cept that of Senator Gronna, of North
Dakota, putting cement on the free
list. He urg«i that the house accept
that amendment, adding to it lemons.

of Americans Into the great
ports of the old world, Most

were offered at auction on June 2 at
a reserve price of 1,000,000 francs, or
$200,000. There were no blds, and
the articles were put up again today.
They were bought In for 180,000 francs,
about $36,000. They were the prop
erty of the Marquis Caieau, whose
father found them tn a concierge's
room and bought them very cheap.
There were 400 cattle on board, The

lengers and. according to our friend,
’.he Scotchman, the cattle were second
class and we were third class. I be
lieve he was right. At any rate, the
petty officers of the ship wasted lots
pf good time telling us that we were

We sat In a fine-looking group on
the for'ard end of the main deck as
the ship left the Boston harbor that
morning. There was little wind. No
ane was seasick, and each was deter-
min«l not to be.
Up to this point we knew nothing of
what we were to do and just what
»ort of "accommodations" we were to
Pave. A petty officer, with shining
face and shoes, and the characteristic
thin mustache, which Is quite the

is rotten rope, heavily tarred; pulleys,
«halns and paint. We slept there the
3rst night, but the odor was too much
'or us; we all awoke more or less sick.
The Cattleman's Work.
Now. something of the work that
'alls to the lot of the cattlemen, We
were called by the night watchmen
(when they were not asleep) at 4
■»'clock In the morning, and we literal-
y rolled out of the hay. Our crowd
of five, all working together, attended
to every want of the 200 cattle. The
first job was to water the stock. The
story about making a horse drink was
invented by a man who never tried to
water a wild steer from a bucket, for
certainly by substituting the latter for
the former the point would have been
more forcible. We used ten wooden
buckets, dipping the water from large
tanks that we filled from overhead
pipes. There were two main alley-
ways along each side of the cattle
deck and they, dear things, lined each
side of the alleys with their horns
sticking half way across. They bad
been tied to the head board by the
longshoremen; we bad nothing to do
with the loading We put the buckets
In the corn trough along In front of
them, then poured water In the buck
ets as they were emptied.
It all sounds very well but each
steer wanted to drink from a bucket
of his neighbor. They fought and
jerked and pulled and upset the buck
ets. but we must make them drink or
they would die. So. with water splash
ing on us and running down our shoe
tops, we would pat them kindly on
the nose and say nice words. Three
steers often would not drink when
offered three buckets, but if two
buckets were taken away all three
would fight to drink from the same
one.
Feeding the Brutes.
The next course was hay. It was
stored near the first hatch in large
bales, averaging about 200 pounds
apiece. Some one forgot to put a hay
hook on the boat, so we had to roll
the bales with out finger nails. It
was the early morning duty of each
man to roll a certain number down the
alley, and that was fine exercise be
fore breakfast. Then we cut the
wires, shook the hay with care, remov
ing all lumps, and fed it to the brutes.
Our morning work generally was
finished at 11 o'clock and the work in
the afternoon lasted from 2 to about
5:30. The afternoon menu was an
other round of more buckets and more
hay. We swept alleys again tn the
afternoon. Our brooms were very
artistic, being a bundle of twigs tied
together and a stick jammed Into one
end of the bundle. I don't know how
rich the Inventor has become who
first thought of that method of water
ing cattle and sweeping alleys.
The first sight of the lights off the
Irish coast looked pretty good to us.
All that day we could see either Ire-
land or England. In the afternoon
the ship kept pretty close to the
Welsh shore. The coast is high and
rocky and In the sunset It was a
beautiful dull reddish color, The hills
beyond were green and divided by the
old stone fences Into small irregular
farms. The stone houses, most of
them white, were scattered here and
there along the fertile valleys. Our
pilot came on at Lynns Point at 5:30
in the evening and had full charge of
things till he reached Liverpool. The
cattle could smell land, so the seamen
said, and were restless the last night
and we slept but little. We turned
down the broad Mersey shortly after
midnight That was Saturday morn
ing and we reached Birkenhead, on
the west bank. In a short time. Here
we landed our 400 cattle, all In ex
cellent health and we shed no tears
at seeing them depart Each of us
carried some cargo down the gang
plank and set foot for the first time
on English soil.
We bought English bicycles and
spent two months on the perfect roads
of England and the continent.
The cattleman has hts joys and sor
rows but the latter are very soon for
gotten and one finds himself planning
to go again—even as a cattleman.
