FLU, TOQETHER FOR ECHO. FLXL TOGETHER FOR ECHO. 1,1 gt3J HOT WAVE KILLS . OVER SCORE Ten Die in Chicago and Many In Other Cities of East. Mortality in Chic go So Far it 200 Above Record of Last Yt.ar Ttmpett Kills One Man and Oo s Damage in Gotham Two Cases of Insanity. Chicago, Jane 29. In spite of occa sional storms, there was no let-up yes terday in the killing heat that has held the whole Eastern section of the Unit ed States in its grip fur the past week. Ten deaths were reported in this city, due solely to the heat; in New York there were two deaths from heat and one from a thunder storm that swept over the city late in the day. Pros trations were almost without number, here, in New York, in Philadelphia and Boston. Here there was some relief afforded late last night, when a cooling breeze swept in from the lake. It was not regarded as a permanent break in the hot wave, however, and emergency or ders were issued by the police throw ing open the parks and playgrounds to men and boys. Many took advantage of this, and crowds from the poorer sections of the city sought a breathing space for the night in the open. During the day a man named Car) Summers became demented from the excessive heat, and rushed into the waters of Lake Michigan for relief. Though he was rescued the shock prov ed too great fpr him, and he died later in the hospital. The Salvation Army will take 2,500 poor children on a lake trip today. TWO DEATHS IN NEW YORK. Thunder Storm Does Great Damage and Cools Air Somewhat. New York, June 29. The second of a series of cooling thunderstorms broke over the city late yesterday. There was a sudden drop in temperature. The storm was responsible for the death of one man and injury of several. At the Polo grounds the game between New York and Brooklyn was about to begin when lightning struck the flag pole in center field, smashing the upper portion of the staff into splinters and tearing down the pennant flat; which the New. York team won in J9D5. liefore relief came two death were added to the long list of temperature victims. There were a score of pros trations. The maximum temperature was 86, but the humidity was great. Summing up the results of the heat wave. Health Commissioner Da 1 ngton in his weekly mortality report today noted an increase of nearly 200 deaths over the corresponding period last year. An East Side blacksmith went sud denly insane while at work. APPLES IN DEMAND. If Excessive Price it Cut Down, De mand it Unlimited. Washington, June 29. W. K. New ell, of Gaston, representing the Oregon Horticultural society, who las bten traveling through tne East studying the apple situation, both as to produc tion and market, had a conference to day with Secretary Wilson and other Agricultural department official!1. He was assured on every hand that there is no danger cf overproduction of ap ples in Oregon ; that the Eastern mar ket is a' mast unlimited, but before the trade can assume large proportions means must be devised for getting Orrg n appl s into the Eastern market, at 'ess cost to the consume r They are in great demand for their quality, but the price is almost prohib its e. Mr. Newell says after weeks of study tbtt higher prices in the East ar se from the fact that apples pass through too many hand before reach ing the consumer and therefore pay too many profits. He believes this can be overcome. Severe Heat Warps Rails Denver, Jun 29.

An explosion supposed to have been caused by dyna mite did great damage in the business district tonight, injured two or three persons severely, and wrecked stores and windows for a block near Clark and Washington streets. The exact nature of the explosion is unknown, because of the great amount of debris thrown about the alley where it occurred. The police think it an other in the series of gamblers' war bombs that have mystified detectives for more than two years. The scene of the explosion was in an alley in the rear of the central tele phone exchange. The Chicago Tele phone company was unable to do any more business during the night. Two restaurants facing on Clark street were blown practically into the streets, food being scattered over the car tracks. In this alley also was the rear en trance to Powers Lambert's saloon, headquarters for Martin B. Madden and his associates in the building trades. Madden and bis men are figur ing largely in labor disputes at pres ent, and have been the subject of grand jury indictments. Another place opening into the alley which was badly damaged, was the cash register store of Mont Tenness, who is alleged to conduct several gamb ling places. Tenness' place has been raided frequently by the police. An other bomb ws exploded there a year go. IMPORTANT RULE MADE. Canada May Control Roads Starting in United States. Ottawa. Oct., June 29. An import ant judgment has been handed down by the board of railway commissioners fot Canada. By this decision Canada may rule railway systems originating in the United States. The case decided was that of the Dawson board of trade, which complained of excessive rates on the White Pass & Yukon railroad. The company replied as only a part of its system was in Canadian territory the Canadian board had no jurisdiction. The chairman of the board, ex-Judge Mabee, in a carefully drawn judgment, disposes of thi theory altogether.. The conclusion reached is that the board has jurisdiction over the tolls the company or companies .may be en titled to charge on through traffic re ceived at Skagwsy or that district to White Horse or any other intermediate point between the international bound ary between Alaska and British Co lumbia and White Horse upon the rail way lines, ard upon through traffic re ceived at any point upon the railway line between White Horse and the boundary, destined to Skagway. ALASK. ROAD OPEN I9IO. Big Rush to Interior Predicted When Travel it Easier. Seattle, Wash., June 29. S. W. Ec cles, president of the Copper River & Northwestern railroad, arrived here last night, and will sail for Cordova, Alaska, July 1, to look over the rail roxd construction work and the oth r property of the Morgan and Guggen heim interests, especially newly discov ered copper deposits. "The Copper River & Northwe-tem will be opemd in 1910 for traffic," said Mr. Kccles "and I predict there will be a great rush of people to the int rior of Alaska, as the hardships of the trail that many have had to face and that have deterred countless num bers from going into the interior, will be removed by the opening of the new road. The same vegetables and agri cultural product that can be ra Bed in Norway and Sweden can be raffed in Alaska. The country will be fully ex ploited once the new road is in opera tion." Mr. Ecclea says that his company will build a 50-mile railroad to open gold fields as soon as title to the land is received from the government. Moros Fall in Battle. Manila, June 29.

With the tariff schedules disposed of, the senate today began consideration of the pro posed income and corporal ion taxes. The question of taxing incomes re ceived attention while the tea provis ion was under consideration, and it was 'hen that the most interesting, oc currences of the day took place. This was the announcement of the real atti tude of Chairman Aldrich, of the finance committee, toward the corpora tion tax provision, which he had intro duced at the instance of the president He said that he ad-oca ted the corpora tion tax as a means of defeating the income tax. He also said V.e thought for the next year or two there would be a deficit in the treasury receipts, which he was willing to have made good by the income from the proposed corporation tax. He thought that the tax could be materially modified, if not repealed, within a year or two. Monday, dune 28. Washington, June 28. The end of the tariff schedules was reached this afternoon and adjournment was .taken to tomorrow, when the corporation tax will be considered. Binding twine was placed upon the free lint today by the senate. Metal strips with which cotton bales are bound, known as cotton ties, were placed under the duty of $6 a ton. .

The duty on zinc blocks, pigs and zinc dust was increased to 1 t cents a pound. Saturday, dune 28. Washington, June 26. The senate today failed to conclude it j debate on the schedules of the tariff bill, though several provisions were disposed of. A motion by Bacon to place agricul tural implements on the free list was rejected by a decisive vote of 26 to 45. Davis offered an amendment placing lumber on the free list and in the face of a protest from Aldrich, a vote was taken. The amendment was lost, 18 to 37. A duty of 5 cents a square yard was placed on tracing cloth. The duty on borate material was increased from 1 S cents to 2 cents a pound. Other schedules were fixed as follows: On woven fabrics composed of as bestos. 40 per cent ad valorem ; on yel low pruppate of soda, 2 cents a pound, and on chlorate of soda, 2 cents in stead of 1 H cents a pound. Sulphite of ammonia was placed on the free list.' The wood pulp provision also re ceived attention. Today's amendments were in lieu of sll previous senate changes in the schedule. They provide for the free importation of meel aiically ground wood pulp except from countries which place obstacles in the way of the ex portation of wood or pulp to the United States. In such caes, upon proclama tion of the president, a duty of one twelfth of a cent a pound may be im posed. Friday, June 26. Washington, June 25. This was an other of the senate's active working days and by the time the session closed at 7 o'clock tonight so many schedules had been considered . and disponed of that Aldrich freely predicted that by tomorrow night all would be out of the way, leaving the senate free to begin consideration of the corporation tax and inconie tax amendment. Begin ning the session with an increase of 5 per cent over the houne rate of 35 per cent ad valorem on harness, the senate marched steadily along throughout the nine hours of its sitting, indulging in little rpeechmaking and acting upon many important provisions. Among the changes made were : An increase of duty on scrap iron from 50 cents to $2.50 per ton, thus placing it on the same level as p;g iron; an increase of one-fourth of a cent per ound over the house rates on wire nails; an increase of from 4 to 6 cents pr pound on monazite sand and other articles used in making gas mun- Una; and the substitution of specilic for ad valorem sates on files, ranps, etc. Thursday June 24. Wthin:ton, June 24. A short time before ad jiiurnment at 7 o'clock to night the cerate returned to the con sideration of the tariff rcheduies after devoting tie greater part of the day to lintening to pri pared speeches. Amendments were adopted "increas ing the duty on shoes from 15 to 20 per cent ad valorem and iricrvaa'ng the duty on sole leather from 5 to 10 per cent ai valorem, the loe figure rep rceniing the houce rate in eaeh case.

Wednesday, June 23. Washington, June 23. In unexpect edly short order the senate today dis posed of the lumber schedule and then agreed upon the rates of duty on pine apples. Aldrich asked that the lumber sched ule receive first attention. He had no sooner taken his seat than McCumber, who has been a persistent advocaUi of free lumber, presented an amendment reducing the finance committee's rate of $1.50 per thousand on sawed lumber to the house rate of $1 per thousand. This was recognized generally as a test proposition, as saweJ lumber has been the bone of contention from the begin ning. The North Dakota senator did not find it worth while to enter into any argument. i he result was another triumph for the Aldrich rates, the vote standing 24 for and 44 against the reduced rates. It hsd been expected that the coal schedule would be debated at great length, but it was passed after little more than an hour's discussion. A new schedule was presented by Aldrich as chairman of the finance commitee, reducing the house rate on bituminous coal from 67 cents per ton to 60 cents and eliminating the house reciprocity clause.
