VIEWS OT A SCIENTIST. Came of the Extraordinary Hot Wave Espluliieil ly i. I. ServUfi. Nr:W YORK. July 21 The Journal and Advertiser prints an article on the hot weather by Garrett P. Servlss, the scientific writer. The article, dated ut Ithaca, N. Y., says: "The burning heat now afflicting the whole of the United States and felt also on the other side of th Atlantic and generally throughout the northern hemisphere is convincing proof f the fact that the earth i3 the satellite of a variable star. Only on the assumption that the source of the terrible heat is directly in the sun sind lue to an extraordinary ineras" in its effective radiation can the widespread and longcontinued nature of the present meteorological disaster be satisfactorily explained. "All astronomers know that the face of the sun is blanketed with als)rbing vapors, while its interior is much hotter than the glowing shell that we see. Strip off the vaporous blanket entirely and the surface of the earth would probably burst into smoke and flame in the Instantaneous push of unbearable heat that would be poured lipon it. Whenever, as occurs periodically, though not always to the same extent, the solar vapors are thinned the heat from within leaps out through the weakened shell and strikes the earth and the other near-by planets as with a breath of fire from the suddenly opened door of a blazing furnace. That is what has happened this summer, and the immediate agency that has thing open the furnace doors and sent forth the destroying Wlast Is the mysterious power whose visible manifestation is the presence of black sun snots. But it is a mistake to suppose that the sun spots themselves exercise any direct influence upon the weather or that there must be spots on the sun whenever there is extraordinary heat on the earth. The spots are simply indicators of the sun's condition, resembling in that respect the eruptions on the face of a smallpox patient. They tell the story of the sun's internal convulsions and indicate some of the places on its surface where tho pent-up forces are bursting out. "For the next four years these giant outbursts will Increase in fury, and a corresponding series of terrestrial seasons marke! by great excesses of temperature, sudden contrasts and extraordinary cyclonic disturbances will follow." Seoutn the Servlmt Theory. SAN JOSE, Cal., July 21. Director Campbell, of Lick Observatory, puts no faith in the theory advanced by some Eastern astronomers that extraordinary weather conditions in the middle West are due to solar causes. Professor Campbell said, to-day, that, in his opinion, the present conditions are du; to local and earthly causes. .VOT II ITE SO WAKM TO-DAY.

Late this afternoon it was suddenly discovered that several of the suspension rods of the north cable of the Brooklyn bridge were broken. The damage was small, but it caused considerable f a furore for a time. Some excited person circulated a report that the bridge was in a dangerous state and an order to suspend traffic on the structure was issued through the oSice of Commissioner of Bridges Shea. Police reserves were called out and presently the crowd of Krooklynites and other residents of Long island which dally throngs the Manhattan end of the bridge at 6 o'clock were thrown into much excitement. The car service was stopped altogether, as was the driving of all vehicles. Persons were, however, allowed to walk to the Brooklyn side along the promenade. The congestion on the Manhattan sioe was relieved by this permission, but the Brooklyn ferries carried thousands more than they usually do. When the bridge and Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company authorities found how greatly the damage had been exaggerated, traffic was partly resumed. By o'clock the bridge cars were running on?- more. Chief Engineer Probasco, of the department of bridges, said to-night that tomorrow all traffic would be resumed and that the broken nds would be replaced in two jr three lays' time. The breakage, he said, was due to expansion, presumably from the he-it. TWO MOVES MADE. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) set on by a crowd cf strikers, pulle! from his wagon anl severely b-aten by a crowd of drivers who had assembled there for that purpose. Probably fifteen or more men jumpetl upon him and a hurry call was sent In for the police. Shortly after 10 o'clock W. IL Ferrer, senior member of l'erree fc Son, went to the Crystal ice plant to get a load Whn h starte! away the wagon was followed by strikers who attempted to stop the horses at Front and Broal streets, the wagon was blocked and a light occurred. During the melee Ferree was kicked and then hit on the heal with a clut. He was rendere! unconscious and was taken home in an ambulance, being seriously hurt. An agreement to end the strike was reached this alteinoon, but the Ice Handlers' Union held a stormy meeting tonight and at midnight decided to resume the. strike. The union decided that the officers of the union did not have definite and legal power to sign the compromise which was agr.-ed upon in the afternoon by the representatives of the ice companies and the officers of the union. Committees were appointed to notify the managers of the Ice companies that unless they acceded to the demands of the union as first made the strike would be continued. The strikers have made arrangements with several union companies to secure a supply of ice, and will endeavor to supply the city with unionmade ice, having also made arrangements for the necessary wagons and teams. The strikers want 15 cents an hour overtime. CAXOT INTEKI'EIli:. Goreriinr Yale Will Xt Prevent Importation of .Negroes to Melrose. SPRINGFIELD. 111., July 21. Governor Yates" was asked by telegraph to stop the threatened importation of two hundred Birmingham (Ala.) negroes into the State to take th places of strikers at the plant of the Latrobe Foundry Company, Melrose Park, near Chicago. Governor Yates could see no way under the law to interfere, and suggested that the sheriff be calleti on. The message to Governor Yates was signed by a comndttee appointed and approved by a mass 'meeting. Received with Hisse. CHICAGO, July 24 The Governor's message, which waa read to-night in Melrose Park to S.iv.K) residents of Melrose Park and neighboring villages, was received with hisses. Tho committee which had been appointed the night before to confer with the officials of the company to see if some plan could not b- agreed on to keep the negroes out of the village reported no success. It vas lecided that word be sent to President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated Association, requesting him to send men to Chicago to organize the employes of the Latrobe company. Will Not DImplaee Strikers. CARBONDALE, 111., July 24.-A party of 205 negroes from Birmingham, Ala., including a few women and accompanied by seven or eight white men, supposed to be guards, passed through here this afternoon over the Illinois Central route for Chicago to work for the Latrobe Steel and Coupler Company. The men were hired, they say, with tho distinct understanding that no strike was on. and gave the Associated Pres.- correspondents a circular to that effect issued by the agent who hired them. They claimed to bo anion meri and said that under ra conditions would they take the places of strikers. (ienrrnl Labor Xews. The firemen employed on the main line of the Philadelphia fc Reading Railroad have been granted an increase in wages from $2.Z to $2.50. together with important concessions. The teamsters' strike at San Francisco continues with no material change in the situation. Both sides remain firm and there are no Indications of a compromise being effected, at least within several days. The last evidence of the late machinists strike at Cincinnati disappeared yesterday when Judge Clark, of the United States Court, dissolved the temporary injunction issuel against a number of the strikers. The court held that as the strike was over, no injunction could be maintained. Forty teamsters employed by the Cincinnati Transfer Company struck yesterday bocnuse one of their number refused to vrk with a nonunion man. The company later in the day applied to the local courts for an injunction to prevent the strikers from interfering with their business, and a temporary restraining order was issued. An order has been issued by the cmirt at Earlington. Ky., Instructing the sheriff of Hopkit s county to a point a large fort e of leputies ami to arm them for the protection of the mines and the nonunion miners there. The order was issud upon the affidavits of the mine-owners and local officials, who say that trouble is threatened and such a course is asked as a precaution. WINSLOW'S DENIAL.

The rroFcntatlon, on Jully 22. of a medal commemorative of the work of the hosiptal ship Maine, to KIiik Kdwanl, by the Duchess of Marlborough. Mrs. George Cornwall! We.t. Mrs. Ronalds and other American women of the committee and King Edward's reply to the members of the committee, in which he thanked them for bringing their valuable services to a culmination by presenting' the ship to the British government, bids fair to become an international incident. The Atlantic Transport Company and the friends of Rerr.ard N. liaker, president of the company, are generally very indignant. C. 1. Torrey, managing director of the Atlantic Transport Company, to-day expressed himsdf as more than surprised to see that King Edward has been misinformed regarding the actual donor of the Mi'ine, ami said what surprised him still more was that the laJi:-s accepted the thanks of the King for the gift, knowing fail and well that at no time had they owne.l the ship and that President Baker alone was entitled to any thanks. Mrs. Torrey said Mr. Raker was not even informed of the intention to present this n.eIal to the King, nor up to to-day had any intimation, been conveyed to him that such a presentation hail oecurre!, nor has any expression of regret been made that this misunderstanding occurred as to the donor ot the vessi-1. The whole transaction is on a par with the seizure of the Maine's Hag by Mrs. George Cornwallis West," said Mr. Torrey. "who appropriated the embkm presented bv the late yuc-vn to the vessel. It will not surprise us if this flüK Is now presertnl. with equal eclat, to tueen Alexandra. Throughout there has beer, an utter lack of appreciation on the part of some of the members of the Maine committee of Mr. Baker's ae.-ist.mee, and with aprarent deliberation the eommitt e " has takt-n unto itself the royal thanks for which it has no shadow of a ciaiia." REVENUE LAW RULING. Paragraph Five of Schedule A Conntrueil li- the Comiuilouer. WASHINGTON, July 24.-Tho commissioner of internal revenue, in a decision construing Paragraph 3 of Schedule A, exempting from tax certain foreign hills of exchange drawn against the value of products actually exported, says that, in order for a party to avail himself of the exemption, two facts must be established: First, that the merchandise against the value of which the bill of exchange is drawn was actually exported; second, the value of the merchandise. The Instruments require'! to -;-f.blisn these facts are the biu of ladiag .r shipping, rfctipt .nd the invoice, which are to be attached to the bill f exchange.

In last week's Commoner Mr. Bryan says: "The Democracy now dominant, both North and South, comes nearer to the ideals of Jefferson and Lincoln than does the commercialism of Hanna or the Imperialism of Roosevelt." His first, proposition may be granteel, but how about the second? In ISO! Jefferson wrote to James Madison: "I am persuaded no Constitution was ever before so well calculated as ours for extensive empire and self-government." This remark Is very like the imperialism of Roosevelt." Fourteen years latr the founder f the Democratic party wrcte to James Monrce: "Do we wish to acquire to our own confederacy any one or moro of the Spanish provinces? I candidly confess that I have ever looked on Cuba as the most interesting addition which could be made to our system of States.. The control which, with Florida point, the island would give us over the Gulf of Mexico, and the countries and isthmus boniering on it, as well as those whose waters Mow into it. would hl I up the measure of our political wellbeing." It will be observed that while JciTerson would have given Curia statehood h? desired annexation, not for the benefit of the island, but for the ailvantage of the l:nit-d States. In his motives h? was as imperialistic as the present Vice President. In view of these passages from the writings of Jefferson. Mr. Rryan could hardly dniy the good Democracy of this plank which appeared in tne platform of both the Douglas and th Rreckinridre conventions in IjGo: "Resolved. That the Democratic party is in favor of the acquisition of tho Island of Cuba on such terms as shall be honorable to ourselves and lust to Snaln." Here, again, is the "imperialism of RooseVilt. liie ivansas City convention repudiated the Ideals of Jefferson and of tne old Democracy when it opposed the policy of expansion. PASSING CIIA.MCS ALONG. Wuihington Method of Dealing with Harmless Ones. Letter In New York Evening Post. The departments In Washington are naturally very attractive to rovi: g cranks of the harmless variety. More such persons can be seen here in a month than In any other city in a year. Perhaps they find it easier to induce somebody to listtii to them or to get some attention paid to their ehernes. At all events, the practice has grown up of "passing them ahm," unless they seem dangerous enough to warrant calling a policeman. The other day a man approached the private secretary to the attorney general to announce that he had tieviel a system or" government which would revolutionize the v.'orli. Ho wanted to submit it to the aliorney general for his legal opinion. The secretary, in a great hurry, referred him to Colonel Clay, the chief clcr!: of the department, under whos authority all such weighty matters, he said came. "I went over to the State Department one mornir.g." began the stranger, addressing Colonel Clay, "and after showing my system. they sent me to the ihiroau of American R publics. I suppose they thought my system might be tried in the Houth American countries first. Hut when I outlined ray plan at the bureau, they told me write to my Congressman and gt him to take the matter up. I did so, but he has n ver answered mv htter. and so I have come back to Washington to lay it before the attorney general. I must have his opinion." Colonel Clay told his visitor that the practice of the department was against giving opinions to outside partUs: tht it was really a law office for the President of the United States and the hais of departments. He accordingly advised the promoter to get his system printed po that the world might have the benefit of it.

Rut the further arguments of Colonel Clay prevailed, and the manufacturer of governments departed in great glee, looking lor a printer. Colonel Clay says that that is always the safest and the surest way of disposing of such guests. Often the bare cost of printing exercises a wholesome prohibitive lestraint.
