for in no well ventilated building has
it gone above 92 ( or 93. The signal

A large delegation left here to-day
for Smithfield, to attend tbe judicial
convention.! The advance guard went
there yesterday. Wake had 92 votes
in this convention. There are four
counties in this district, j
for Jone9 county to conduct a county
institute for the benefit of the farmers
of that fertile section. Institutes will
bo held every . week during July and
August.
Tne commissioner Df immigration
is busy looking after the fair at Mt.
Holly. 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

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

Chicago's Heated Teruu r
CHICASO, July 1. 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.

lonai clerks to 11,500 Instead of 11, Si
as in the original amendment. A new

A new conference was ordered. A wr,
ferenco was also ordered on tho, agri
cultural appropriation bill. j f .
Consideration of the bill for the a!
mission of Idaho as a State was re
sumed and Senator Vanco addressed
the Senate In opposition to it. Ho op
posed it on the following grounds: This
preliminary proceedings had been-unauthorized
by any legislation, the pop
ulation of the Territory was not au?V.-
clcnt to entitle it to one IleprccntatlT
In the House, the constitution under
which it proposed to come ijito the
Union was not In conformity suiti tho
constitution of the United States in
that It proscribed and disfranchised
men for their religious opinion1, and
that the apportionment of lu legisla
tive districts was so notoriously unfair
and onesided that it ought not to re
ceive the sanction of the fair and
honest men in the Senate.
At the closo of Senator Vance's .
speech the Idaho bill was paed with
out the yeas and navs.-
A message from the Houm of Re pre- '
ecntatlves announcing that that body
had resolved to adhere to Its dlaagnx-
ment to the Senato amendments to the
legislative appropriation
bill having
Dawes said
been presented, Senator
that the House having declined to con
fer further with the Senate, tbe only
alternative left was either to let, the
bill fail or to recede from its amend
ments. He moved that the Senate n- .
cede. The vote was taken, and tbo
Senate refused to recede from lu
amendments. 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. A motion to 'reconsider the
vote of the Senate was made by Sena
tor Hiscock and was entered. After
an executive session the Senate ad
journed. . .,
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The House resumed consideration of
the federal election bill, tho pending
amendment being that offered by Mr.
Lehlbach, of New Jersey, providing
that the chief supervisor of election for
each Judicial- District of the United
States shall take such action as is, re
quisite to secure such supervision in
every Congresslorial District as Is pro
vided by the laws of the United States.
Mr. liolman, of Indiana, contended
that there was no occasion for the en
actment of the proposed law, as every
member who had spoken had repudi
ated the bill as far as his individual
district was concerned.
Mr. Taylor, of Illinois, said that to
wanted tho law In his District.
Mr. Holman said tho gentleman wa.
the Only One of the 330 members who
I mauu iuav iwwwiuu, nUwv-i. v-sv u
tne ixxj mcmuer wanveu n m uis uis
trict. Mr. Stone, of Missouri, made a con
stitutional argument against the bill.
He said tho men, who thirty years ago
with rifles in their hands, sought to
destroy the autonomy of the nation
were no more guilty of high treason
than were the men who, assembled
under the marble arches and bulging
dome, of this capltol, were seeking and
j plotting to destroy the autonomy of tho
I Stab.
Mr. Hemphill, of South Carolina,
lhat if the bill wa so bad that the
,rpti-mn were afraid Ln mu, fnr n
creneral application over the United
I . .
i states, why were tney sucn cowards as
to throw upon tbe people of a particu
lar district the odium of the law
Congress should take the responsibility
of the law and not place that responsi
bility in the bands of fifty or a hundred
men in any one district. :
Mr. Hemphill, of South Carolina, of
fered an amendment eliminating from
thes bid the provision for United
States boards of canvassers, and pro
viding that from the returns of tbe
supervisors, the chief supervisor shall
tabulate and forward to the Speaker of
the House, to bejsubmittcd by hlo to
the House the result as they appear
therefrom In each Congressional dis
trict under his juisdlctloo, In which this
act shall be In force.
Mr. Butte rworth presented tbe con
ference report on the legislative ap
propriation bill, and the house, on his
motion, voted to adhere to its non-con
curence In the Senate amendmejats
making Senators' - clerks annual em
ployees. - Again taking up the election bill,
Mr. Lodge offered an amendment pro
viding that as soon as the certificate of
the board has been made public, any"
person who is a candidate for elec
tion, may by motion before the United
States Circuit court having jurisdiction
in the district, contest the correctness
of the certificate made by the board,
and demand an examination and com
pilation of the re turns. The returnin g
