disturbances. No immediate relief
of a substantial character is m sight.
The rainfall reports show that there
has been precipitation throughout
the affected area varying from less
than a hundredth of an lncb ln I
many places to almost an inch. Gen­
erally speaking the thunder storms
which have come have been what 1»
known as "dry storms” ao that very
little rain has accompanied them.
The indications for the next 24
hours for a large portion of the heated
area point to cloudy weather, with
showers, which, however, because of
their local character, will bring only
partial relief from the heat. The
prediction of the officials here is
that the temperatures for the next
48 hours will show a fall of probably
4 or 5 degrees, but that they will still
climb above the 90 mark in most
places. The Atlantic coast will get

Seattle, July 5.—The whaler Bala
ena, of San Francisco, tvlonging to
the Pacific Steam Whaling Company,
lies on St. Lawrence Island, 20 miles
west of Southeast cape, in Behring
sea, a total wreck. Captain P. F.
Cotte and the 60 men in the crew had
an almost miraculous escape from
death. Through the bravery of the
officers all escaped to shore.
The Balaena was on a voyage to the
Arctic. She was provisioned for 30
months. The whaler left San Fran­
cisco April 4. and, after battling with
the ice for weeks, had euccAded in
working through the worst of the
floes.
She was headed to pass St.
Lawrence island when the wreck oc­
curred. Shortly after midnight, May
1, the wind rose until it assumeij the
was driven to a (Klint 20 miles west of
Southeast cape, St. Lawrence island,
where she struck a rock.
The cap­
tain immediately ordered the Ixiats
out. 'The whaler seemed to have
been hung on the rock, and. although
the waves were pounding her terribly,
she did not founder. Ina very short
time the boats were manned and the
crew started for the shore.
The sea
was so high that it was impossible for
the lioats to keep together, but they
all made the island eventually.
The
hands and feet of several are badly
frozen.
The Balaena is a total wreck. She
is hanging to the rock where she
struck, but is liable to slip off into
the water and sink at any time. She
struck on the port side and crashed a
hole fully 12 i.'.'i in the length of her
hull.

Huntington, W. Va., July 5.—A

from 11 o’clock this morning until
5 o’clock this evening, resulting in
the loss of $200,000.
The Hames
started in a hotel which was crowded
with guests, many of whom were

when the alarm of tire rang out

great difficulty that they were re­

not a gallon of water in the city re­
servoirs when the fire broke out and
all the fire engines in the city were
out of repair.
Rapidly the flames
spread and soon half a dozen resi­
dences wen1 ablaze. A livery stable
and a number of private houses fruit
stores, barber shops and dozens of
smaller structures were burned.
