Washington. Sept. 22. At this writ
ing the temperature ut Chicago Is M
dcyrees, ami the maximum temper
ature during the day was i'O de
grees, and by the time your readers
have received your morning papers the
much retarded and long-wished for
told wave will have extended over
Illinois, causing a fall of from ill) to 4(1
degrees ill teiiieratuiv. The approach
f this cold wave over the central Mis
sissippi valley III your section was an
ticipated by the published forecasts of
the bureau on Saturday, and this
morning a special bulletin was Issued,
giving telegraphic warnings of the de
cided change in temperature to 1,21m
stations, located in the states of the
upper 'Mississippi valley and upper
lake regions. These warnings have
been extended eastward to the states
of Ohio valley In a irt Id pat ion that the
cool wave will extend over these states
Monday nteht. '
The approach of this cold wave was
first indicated by the report received
from the extreme northwest Canadian
stations on Thursday, and its slow
movement to the southward was due to
an extended area of high pressure,
which covered the eastern half of the
I'nlted States with its center over the
South Atlantic states.
This distribution of ptessure gave
persistant warm southerly winds until
the area of high pressure covering the
cold wave gathered siillleieiit force to
overcome this resistance. The cool
wave was driving almost southward
over the Kocky mountain stations dur
ing Sept. 20 and 21. tteinUd by snows
and freezing weather 111 Colorado, the
Pakotas and Nebraska, while there
was some uncertainty as to the rapid
ity of the advance of this cool wave to
the eastward, when it tlrst appeared
the extreme northwest there was strong
probability on Saturday that It would
extend over the central valleys tonight,
and such notice was duly given, while
the morning report of today Justified
a wide distribution of the emergency
warnings above referred to. The rapid
development of the depression which Is
now central over Lake Superior will
hasten the movement of tills cool wave
to the eastward andi every available
means of notifying the public of the
much-needed change In temperature
hns been brought Into requisition to
night In the staffs as far east as Penn
sylvania. Within this region about 2.000
stations or towns have been notilled of
the probable break In the warm wave.

At the Windy Cltv.
Chicago. Sept. 22. The hottest Sep
tember week which the people of Chi
cago have experienced in over twenty
years was followed tonight by a sud
den cold. The temperature all day was
as high as on any day during the
phenomenal hot spell, the thermometer
at 3 ft. m. registering ill degrees. At 11
o'clock tonight the mercury in the Audi

perature is falling slowly as the great
cobl blast from the northwest ap
proaches In all its relieving force.
There were half a dozen serious prostra
tions from the heat during the day and
one death.
The advance of the cold wave about
8 o'clock was heralded by a wind of
great velocity which did some damage
to property ami eonrlnued while the
heated atmosphere was being rapidly
cooled, (lain also added to the metio
loglcal phenomena of the day.
Ten deaths from heat directly were
recorded for the week ending tonight;
and many serious prostrations.
The Wave Itciiches loun
Les Moines, Iowa. Sept. 22. -The cold
wave from the northwest readied here
this afternoon. The early part of the
day was very hot and the Rky almost
clear. About noon the sky became
overcast, and at 1 o'clock the clouds
suddenly took on the appearance of
an approaching cyclone. The tempera
ture fell with the most remarkable
rapidity ever known here. In fifteen
minutes the fall was 32 degrees, and
since then it has been slowly sinking.
The fall at 1 o'clock was Instantan
eous; a wall of cold air seemed to pass
in and force nut the hot. A few min
uses after a heavy rain set In accom
panied by wind that reached a velocity
of sixty miles and did some damage. It
Is very cold tonight, and frost Is ex
pected ( imaha. Neb., Sept. 22. A tremendous

revolution says: "Hawaii has treaties
wit.ti England and France which give
them protective powers over the Island,

ALL BUT ONE MAN DROWNED.
t'nknown Schooner Uoes ttown Off Point
Aux Barques. '
Alpena. Mich.. Sept. 22. Captain Tit
us, of the schooner J. B. Kitchen, has
reported fhat when fifteen miles, off
Point aux .Barques he saw a schooner
capsize and go to the bottom. She was
apparently struck by a sudden squall,
as there was not a heavy wind at the
time. The Kitchen was about two miles
away from the capslged vessel, and af
ter the accident the lost boat's yawl
was seen pulling for a steamer that
was passing down the lake and Very
near the schooner. ,
There was only one man on board the
yawl, and he was picked up by thd
steamer, which continued on her way.
Captain Titus says that the lost vessel
was about :i"0 tons measurement, fore
and aft rigged, and carried a square
sail. The hull was painted black. Af
ter she went to the bottom the topmasts
appeared above the water. It was evi
dent that the rest of the crew were
drowned.
PEARY FEELS HAD.
Obliged to Return Without a Sliver from
llio North IHilo.
St. Johns. N. F.. Sept. 22 Full de
tails of the dreadrul sufferings of
l'eary, Lee and lleiison are now becom
ing public. It is a cause for wonder
how they survived. No other case Is
known where Arctic explorers delib-.
erately took their lives In their hands
and ventured upon a most exacting en
terprise with the full knowledge that
their supply of food was Insulllclent,
and that they would probably perish In
the attempt.
I'eary's dlsapiKiintment over the un
satisfactory termination of the expedi
tion is unconcealed, hut all admit that
he is not responsible for the failure.
No human being could have done more
to make the expedition n success. Had
lie had more men or even sufficient
provisions, he would have accomplished
much.
All members of the expedition leave
for New York Thursday next.

Filthy Habits of the Natives Responsible.
tXIghtccn F.uroponn and American
Residents lluvc Succumbed to
the Terrible I'laguo.
San Francisco, Sept. 22. William F.
Cumls, a WaS'lilugton correspondent
for a Chlcngo newspaper, was a pus
Benger on the steamer Gaelic, which
ariivd from the orient yesterday. He
went to Japan in Muy lust to study
the commercial and Industrial pros
pects afforded Americans In thut coun
try, and lately he has been In China,
which he describes as the pest breed
ing center of the universe.
"The cholera has attained fearful
proportions In China," said Mr. Curtis.
"Chinese are dying by the thousands. I
passed through the streets of I'ekin,
Shanghai and Tien-Tsln, and saw
cholera victims dead und dying on
every hand. It Is no uncommon sight
to see the dead bodies of cholera vic
tims lying on the Htreet on one block,
and In the next a lot of Chinese gorging
themselves with raw cucumbers nnd
melons. The cholera' Is altrlbuatble to
the filthy habits of the Chinese and
the weather. The summer was quite
cool until August. Then a spell of ex
cessively hot weather came on and
with It the cholera.
"In I'ekin they have a plan of Issuing
permits for the removal of the bodies
outside of the city walls, as no bodies
are Interred within the walls. To se
cure permission for the removal of the
remains of a cholera victim outside the
walls of the city a cash Is dropped In a
box. (Cash Is a small brass coin, worth
one-twentieth of one cent). At night
the cash receptacle Is full. It contains
from 2,000 to 3.000 pieces of coin, which
shows the enormous extent of the dis
ease. It Is as bad at Shanghai nnd
Tien-Tsln. and Is also- mowing down
Chinese by the hundreds In other parts
of the Infected country."
Few Foreigners Afflicted.
Mr. Curtis suld that the cholera Is
confined almost exclusively to the na
tive Chinese. In I'ekin, where very few
foreigners reside, he had heard of no
deaths among the white population.
In Tien-Tsln only one death among the
foreign population had been reported
up to the hour he Ictft China. In Shang
hai, where the cholera Is raging at an
awful rate, the fatalities have been
much greater. Mr. Curtis said he had
been advised of eighteen deaths.
Speaking of the subject which Mr.
Curtis went to Japan to Investigate,
the commercial and Industrial future of
Japan, he said he has returned to
America convinced that America has
no market In the mikado's realm for
manufactured goods.
"The Japanese make almost every
thing they want," he said. "They are
stealing our patents an;lvojnylng our
Inventions, und are now almost ready
to export their wares and thereby enter
into ruinous competition with other
nations. There Is, however, a splendid
market for machinery, as well as for
cotton, Iron and other raw materials,
cotton particularly. The Japanese are
now using cotton very largely, anil
here Is a pointer for American cotton
producers. While a great deal of
American cotton Is used In the orient,
It goes through Knglish hands before
it reaches the Japanese, and the Ameri
can grower Is deprived of the com
missions, which go Into the pocket of
the Knglish middlemen In Liverpool
Our ecJtton ought to be shipped direct
to Japan. For that purpose we need
tlie Nicaragua canal; we need the com
pletion of the Ciuntemnla railway and
open harbors at the two termini of the
Tehuantepee railway.
"Amertea could sell a lot of cotton In
Japan. In two or three years Japan
will control the cotton trade of the
orient."
Yokohama. Sept. 21. The Japanese
Parliament hns voted a credit of 200.

WILL WHOOP THINGS UP
Democratic Convention at Syracuse
Kill lie a Hummer.
CANDIDATES IX ABUNDANCE
The Woods Are Full of Men Willing to
Sncrifice Their Time, but lllll,
Croker and Murphy Have Not
llecn Heard From.
Syracuse, X. Y., S-pt. 22. Democrats
nre coming this way in numlurs that
bid fair to swamp the town. It Is al
ready evident that Syracuse has not
siltliclent hotel capacity for the eople
who want to conic here.
Although It Is nil off year, the Demo
crats ure not content to hold a iiiet
little convention like that r.f the Re
publicans at Saratoga last week. They
Intend to whoop things up as though
the governorship or sss;lbly the presi
dency were at slake.
.From nil over 'the tftato large delega
tions are expected to boom the numer
ous candidates for the state olllcers.
Unlike the Saratoga, convention, where
there was practically but one set of
candidates In sight, here there are can
didates galore for each ollice. If the
.scramble for nominations were a sign
to go by, this could safely be set down
as a i emooratle year.
So far as known here there Is no
slate in existence, but David U. Hill,
Kdward Murphy and Richard Croker
Imvo not arrived yet. When they get
here tips may be passed around as to
who are the men. A score of candi
dates who are now being boomed for
places on the tickets will probably be
dropped. At present it's any man's
race for a place.
Those Who Are "Wlllln'."
Here Is a list of candidates where
they now stand: For secretary of state,
Horatio C. King, of Kings, or Charles
A. Cary, of (dean. 'For attorney gen
eral, I'liilel (J. Oririln. of Watertown.

Major Poxcy's Misfortune Followed
Closely hy Kich (til liixcrtvericx.
Anderson. Did., Sept. 22. Tt seldom
falls to the lot of any man that mis
fortune nnd prosperity come band in
hand knocking at his door. Yet such
Is the case with 'Major Doxey, of this
city. 'When he awoke yesterday morn
ing he learned for the llrst time that
his magnificent plant, known as the
American Plate Class works, was in
ashes, with not n cent of Insurance to
indemnify him. At the same time a
telegram on his dresser Imparted to
him the Information that he was sev
eial thousand dollars richer than the
night before when he retired.
Several mbiilhs ago Major Doxey
leased a big plat of land near Knights
lown and began prospecting for oil.
Wednesday oil was found and the
pumps soon 1'illed a 2.".rt-harrel tank.
The well has n capacity of twenty-five
barrels an hour, 'Which, while crude. Is
better than .the average yield, and over
CO per cent. Is coal oil of line quality.
VICTIM OF PLOT ACOLTTTED.
Alleged Counterfeiter Cleared of the
Charge nt WleMta.
Wichita. Kan., Sept. 22. Charles W.
Johnson, who hns been on trial In the
I'nlted States district court here for
two days on n charge of counterfeiting,
has been acquitted. Johnson was ar
rested in August. 1SIM. by Sheriff Rob
inson on the Information of a ninn
named Smi'h. who pretended to be a
detective. It developed at the trial that
the charge was trumped up by Smith
for selfish ends. Smith secreted molds
and material for making counterfeit
money on Johnson's premises and then
notified the olllcers that he had located
a counterfeiter.
He supposed there was a standing of
fer from the government of $,".11 for the
arrest and conviction of a counterfeiter.
When lie discovered that this was not
the case he decamped, leavlnghls victim
with the charge hanging over him.

Topek.t. Kan., Sept. 22. That there

shnll pursue.
The squaw men want the lands separ

there Is likely to be bloodshed. ns the
Indians are determined to oppose this
plan. The feeling lietween the factions
is very bitter, and has reached a Htage
