The signal office here telegraphed that the mercury reached 100 degrees in Wilmington. ; Its thermometer must be kept in a dreadfully hot place. At our home on Fourth street a tested thermometer has not recorded higher than 92 this year and only that high one day. jTho other hot days were 1 90 and 91. .. It does Wilmington injustice for in no well ventilated building has it gone above 92 ( or 93. The signal ottice is in too hot a place and makes wrong impressions. The town is not by eight degrees as hot as the place where the 100 thermometer hangs.- In fourteen years the thermometer has not recorded more than 98 but once and not as high as 98 but twice.

It is said it will be a good fair and will bo very largely attended. Senator Vance s letter to h,lias Carr, president of. the Farmers' State All i ance, was published this morning. It was read with great interest. It is really addressed to the Democracy of North Carolina. It is full of admira ble advice, and is an able document. His advice to the Farmers' Alliance is as follows: ! , "To attempt to make a political party of the-Farmers' AUianee for the purpose oi supplanting either of tne great parties who diyide the American people would be a great mistake, in the South it could only destroy the Democrat party and leave in undis puted control that other party which is the author and upholder of the evils by which we are afflicted. By your own rules you exclude from member ship majority of the community and for that reasen, alone, you should not undertake to become a political party. I see many indications of that tendency which give me much rconeern. In the neighboring State of South Carolina there is a contest raging which, as it looks to me can only have the result of putting! that State back under Airican rule xnis too, among men who profess to agree upon all matters of principle. Let us hope 'that we may avoid ; such dangerous and -un seemly contests in our State. I trust much to you, ' my dear sir, and to the conservatism, good sense, moderation and patriotism of the farmers of North Carolina, to avoid tbe taking of -any position or the doing of anything that would prevent the Democrats who are in the Alliance and the Democrats who A 1 1L..I All? 1 are. uub iu lua Auittiico irom worKing together for principles wbtdi Are oom mon and for interests which are gen eral, nrith that harmony which so tri umphantly brought us out of the house of bondage in the period from 1S70 to 18J0, -and which has in so great a meas ure restored our. State to a reasonable degree of prosperity and credit." ThsJ'rogresstie Farmer is again li vely to-day.

Notwithstanding rain last night, the weather here re mains oppressively warm with only now and then broken clouds to obscure the sun. The. lowest temperature reached here during the past week was last night immediately after the rain fall when the government signal ser vice thermometer marked' 68 degrees. At 7 o'clock this morning it registered 72 degrees and at this hour it marks 77 degrees. This by no 1 means indicates the oppressive character of the heat in the streets, for the government obser vations are taken at the top of the lofty auditorium tower, where the, thermometer is not subject to radiated heat from pavements and building walls which have been baking under a blistering, sun and accumulating heat for the past ten days. There is scarcely a sign a of breeze. The air at the ordi nary elevations is close and humid, and perspiration flows with great freedom upon the slightest provocation. The Associated Press thermometer at this hour marks 82 degrees. In the present wakened condition of out door work, in consequence of the long heated term; to-day promises to be as fruitful in sunstrokes as yesterday, unless the long promised cold way should bring relief. .

LONDON, Julv 1 Tn the Houso of Lords, to-day, Lord Rose be ry asked whether the government would assist the inhabitants of Heligoland who de sired to remain British subjects to! set- tie in umer parts of the British ! pos sessions, and whether the right of fortifying the island would be restrict ed. He had been told .that the proce dure necessary to ascertain the viawa of the islanders was alien to nglish I usages but the cession of territory was alsq, alien to English usages. ICrles of "Hear, hear."' i He hoped the government would I carefully consider the wishes of the I people, which, it was alleged, tended I in one direction. It would be a slur I upon the reputation of Lord Salisbury I ii ue uauucu over tne island to ioreign sway wimoui affording protection to the inhabitants. Making all allowances for the, reticence which a minister of foreign affairs must show. Parliament was sun entitled to further information. Lord Salisbury's dispatch referred to hthe Sultanate of Zanzibar as beiner given in exchange for- the Island of Heligoland, but it was not the same Sultanate that Lord Salisbury found upon entering office. He hoped the foreign minister would soon make a full statement on the subject. 'I L.oro bails oury replied that he was not aware that the chancellor of the exchequer had any funds which could' be used to enable the islanders to settle in other parts of the empire. More over, he did not think that such a measure would be in conformity with the wishes of the inhabitants. Every security had been taken to protect their interests, and he had done bis best to ascertain their wishes, although he had not taken a nlehiseitf iThn I government would not suggest a limit to Germany s rights in regard to the i.1 S A. S .1 . 1 -W loruncation oi tne islands. It was a role of the foreign office not to discuss matters in Parliament until the nego tiations had been concluded. As ; soon as the convention with Germany was signed it would be necessary to j give Parliament full information regarding, the agreement, and to explain at length-the policy of the government. He denied that the cconvention! had caused any decrease in the prestige and power of the Sultan of Zanzibar. In the House of Commons to-day the .government was asked whether, in the event " the Damaraland protec- to rate vex tending further north than the map 6ho wed, the German sphere of influence could spread eastward across the Leeba and Zambesi rivers. j Sir James Fergusson, under foreign secretary, replied that the agreement with (Germany extended the German sphere to, but not beyond the Zambesi river. j Lord George Hamilton, first lord of the admiralty, replying to Sir John Swinburne, said that, in view of the .great importance of the Zambesi in the opening up of trade in the eastern part of South Africa, a man-of-war had been dispatched to survey the mouth of the rjver. j It is stated that Lord Salisbury de--cllnes the honor of a Jdukedom for his services: in bringing about the Anglo- rGerman agreement.

Thousands of flags and thousands of yards of bunting floated from the windows and roofs of business houses of Indianapolis. Never before wa 8ucn a display seen in this city, The parade was a notable one. The procession formed on the circle about the new soldiers' monument.

The result of the voto Is that unless the House reconsiders its action In adhering, or unless tho Sen ate reconsiders its action In refusing to recede, the legislative bill will fall and. a new bill will have to be reported and go through all the formalities con nected with its consideration in both houses.
