Sunday aftermsm iu Cars'iiters' half.
Cnptniii M. Andrews of the Car Itiuld
prs' union pn-sided. The meeting was
culled for the purpose of taking action
upon the refusal of President Trucsdule
to confer with a committee ot his own
workmen from this city. After the meet
ing the following statement was given
"I'rcsident Trilesdule coisented to a
conference to Ih held Monday, June 24,
nt his ntllcc, 2i Exchange place. New
York. That day he was met by Presi
dent O'Couiicll of the machinists, un.l J.
l. Fonl, a member of the executive
bonr.l of the same organitatlon. Mr.
Jruesilulc postponed the interview until
Saturday. June 211. The above named
met at the oDiee of Mr. Ford at 21 I. iln
erly street, preparatory to meeting Mr.
Truesilale. At 11 oVI.x-k .Mr. Tmcsdnle
sent word that he would nut meet them
under nny consideration.
"Action was immediately tnken to call
out the Kingshin.l shop, the only machine
shop working on the Lackawanna sys
tem and advice given the Hcri'intou dele
gate present tu make every effort to call
out everything on the Lackawanna, from
the switchmen to the miners. Mr.
Mitchell has already guaranteed every
support to the strlkis-rs. Two week ago
a movement wns started to hove the mer
chant in every town pariiltelisl by any
oilier road to withdraw their patronnge
from the Lackawanna. When word was
riehed that a conference was iilsiut to
be held this movement wns cnlhsl off. It
will In In ken up again ut once and vigor
ously pushed, together with uiiy other
means that will bring success. Mr.
Truesilale might have been able to have
compromised mutters with his men. Now
only the origiuul proposition will be ac
cepted Financial support is guaran
teed." T'olibt Is xprcssod here as to the abil
ity of the strikers to make cffii'tive any
boycott of the Luckuwannii. Already a
large numlH'r of the strikers have re

CURIOUS DISCREPANCY.
Found Thai China Agrosd to 1'sy Mure
Than Powers Wanted.
WASHINGTON, June 2!. A curious
discrepancy concerning the amount of
the Chinese indemnities has developed,
by w hich it appears I lint China hus
ugrccd to pay :t..MM l.tMdi fuels, or $24.
imu.lHMI more than the united deinunds uf
all the powers. Just how this occurred
is nut denr to nllii inls, but it appears to
have been an error of culculution ut IV
kin in the first plucc by those making up
the indemnities, tin. I Inter by the Chinese
in their hasty acceptance uf the total.
As finally made up this total was 4."0,
(MMl.lHH) tuels, but the present calcula
tion, after taking iu all of the demands
that urc known, makes the total only
4iri.INMI.ISNI taels. In the meantime
China has ugni'd to pay the larger
amount, so that the iUestioii now arises
what will iHMDiue of the excess of 35,-
fK II 1,1 Kill tllels.
Another ipustiou which hus arisen n
this connection i us lo the iimuiint uf
bomls which shall be issued to Japan, as
t lut t country hus drawn attention to the
fact that it slinrn of indemnity cannot
be negotiated on ns favorable terms us
some of llic powers can make. It is
lindersliHid that the matter has been con
sidered of siiIN. unit importance to bring
to the utteution ot the president, with
view to learning the general attitude of
this government uli the matter.

were July II, 1K7U, und July :l. 1H!I,S. On

only 4S. The hottest July 1 which ap
proximated today in the history of the
i.M ul weather bureau wns in 1S72, when
the thermometer reached '".
At II a. tu. the mercury wus ut SO and
continued so until Ii, when it rose to N2,
ami from thai rour then' wus a gruduul
rise until .'t in p. in., when the uiiiximum

In the curly morning hours there was
what might be teruuil u light l.re. r.e
blowing, but during the early part of I lie
afternoon the breexe died awuy and the
city wns linking in torrid heat.
The suffering iu the city, particularly
in the crowded tenement house districts,
wus shiK'king. As the duy grew the
deaths and prostrations Increased and.
although provision was inn.le iu all the
hospital for this emergency, the author
ities were scarcely able to cope with the
great tax made on their resources. An
liistnnce imiy be given of how the situa
tion st.ssl. St. Vincent's hospitnl has
its own ice plant. Wlicii constructed
tilts was though sutlieieiit to meet any
el geiicy. but that hospital was forced
to buy I.UINI extra pounds of ice iu addi
tion tu what its ice plant turned out.
I'i to midnight lust night there were
reported C7 deaths and 141 prostra

ambulance culls that tin- pniee were
cu'isl on to supply pntml wagons uud
every nmbiiluucc did double duty in re
sponding to calls. Many patients were
curried to the hospituls in cubs and in
moving vans. The prevalence oV.tlie grip
among the horses of the city also tends
to mitignle uguiust effective work. In
ninny case horses hud to be obtained
