NKW YOIIK , Aug. 11. When the sun wont
down Monday evening a whole city full
prayed prayed earnestly to tieavon that
during the night there might bo atmospheric
changes that should afford relief on the
morrow. Only the Creator may know how
many and how fervent were tboso prayers
for a rcspllo from Iho consuming heat.
Up through the crowded tenement reslon
upon the east side , where the boat Is stiflllntr
nnd every vagrant air that idly whirls Iho
Ihe street dil9tburn like the breath from the
gates of some Invnnt Gehenna , there nro chil
dren who nro slowl.v perishing in hot rooms ,
women and men who would sell n fair portion
of their souls for an hour In the cool Holds , a
gllmpso of white clouds nnd shady forest
ways.
And so they prayed sickening mothers
and despairing fathers. But their prayers
came IIIICK to them unanswered , for , when
the sun came up rod and round from the
eastern waters this morning , no found the
condition unchanged. A brassy sKy , au tin-
cooled atmosphere mot the daybreak nnd the
sun began this morning practically where ho
left off last nigtit.
Death Hate IiK-reiiHln-r.
And so , In the crowed dlstricis all day Ibo
dcalh rnlo has grown slcadlly and doclors
are in such demand mat , some of them may
succumb to overwork should this warm
weather linger for a few nays moro. Small
children nro the greatest sufferers nnd today
thuro is whlto crepe upon many a door.
At 8 o'clock this morning the temperature
was 79 degrees. At 10 o'clock it was S3
degrees. The thermometer nt 1 o'clock this
aftermoou registered 93 degrees. Then piled-
up thunder clouds loomed in the sky and
mothers cried out In piteous thanksgiving ,
and all the town felt clad for a shower a
downpour that spattered on the hot stones
like suds soon followed. Just as soon ns the
shower began the thermometer fell two
degrees. The humidity at that hour had
decreased to 72 per cent.
The sun came out before the first shower
had ended , and then the thermometer went
uu a degree. The breeze which had blowing
all the morning increased lo eighteen miles
nn hour gait when the first shower began , as
against a six-tnilo gait at 10 o'clock. But the
eighteen mile an hour gait soon decreased.
The humidity did not recover. It foil stead
ily all Iho afternoon ualil at 3:30 : there was
but53 per cent of itin the atmosphere.
With the advent of Iho second shower Iho
Ihormoraolcr again began lo fall , until at 3
o'clock 81 degrees was registered. The rain
cooled oft the sidewalks and houses and
freshened up everybody and everything. It
was a welcome relief. The showers were
purely local.
What the weather man says about the
weather Is good enough so far as It goes , but
It does not give any idea of what humanity
in general suffers at such a time as
this. A. certain number of degrees
on top of the Equitable building
docs not give any idea ol the condition of af
fairs on tbo streets and in the buildings. At
10 o'clock tuis morninsr , for inslanco , Perry's '
thermometer said It was SO , and Iludnut's
said that Ii was 89. A man could take his
choice. At 3 o'clock Perry's ' thermometer
registered 89. Down Broad way several Ihor-
innmot.ui1 were bung out to'iry them , nnd
each ono registered different degrees of beat.
Every body'must have been satisiled.
IU < ; KurimecH Full of Coalw.
Ono sldo of Broadway was so hot this
morning lhat it seemed as if every building
aloug Ibat sldo of tlio thoroughfare was a
big furnuco full of live coals and lhat someone
ono had left the doors open. The heat radi
ated from the pavement in trdinbling waves.
Brokers , business men and clerks without
vests passed listlessly along the streets ,
the pLTupiration rolling off them
in streams. On the shady side of the street
there was such a crowd of pedestrians that
but llltlo air clrculalod Ihero. In consequence
quence It was stilling on the shady side of
the street nnd too hot to walk on the sldo
where the sun shone.
\Vith the exception of the rnonsler build
ings down town unit the biggest of the flats
uy town every slrucluro in town was thor
oughly healed up before noon yesterday.
Over on Iho east side , in fact in every tene
ment huuso district , the briclc work had boon
warm for several days past. But the heat of
yesterday warmed up every portion of
the tenements oven to the interior wood
work. As there was no rain or any particu
lar amount of coolness last night , but n very
small portion of the boat got out of the build
ings , In not a tenement hotiso in the city
has there been a room or n hall nor any portion
tion ol the building that has not been stif-
dlngly hot for the past forty-eight hours.
Then on the roofs there was but little relief to
bo obtained because of the absence of a bruozo
worthy of that. name. Nor were the
roofs oven cool enough to sit or stat.d on , and
a bucket of water had to bo thrown on
them , and oven when that had been done the
roofs were warm and uncomfortable. That
meant that but few of the dwellers in the
tenements got any rest last night. Many of
those who lived within half n mile of thu
docks went early In the evening nnd re
mained until o.irly this morning.
The mothers and women who had remained
In or about the tenements through last night
got away as soo'i as they could this morninir.
As many ns could do so went on the free ex
cursions that were given. These that could
not leave their homes for only a short tlmo
want down on the piers. Each ouo of the
smaller parks were full of suffering human
ity , and In Central park many thousands
fo'und relief.
On the business streets , particularly along
those streets where the horse cars run , It was
pitiful to see the suffering of the horses.
Horses attached to cars sintered most. In a
great many Instances they were barely nblo
to drag ono foot after the other though fro-
quota rests wore made at short Intervals. On
all sides horses gave out. These accustomed
to the post of earo succumbed. Altogether the-
morning was ono of misery for both man and
beast.

hold tbo next national convention six cliiys
after the national democratic convention.
Chairman Wilson gave an account of his

complete organization in any state was in
the now state of Washington. Indeed , it Is
in the northwest the work of proselyting
would bo most actively carried on through
moans of club organization.
It has boon decided to organize a mission
ary itinerancy composed of fittcon of the
leading democratic orators connected with
the national association. The tparty will

OTTAWA , On.t , Aug. 11. At the bcginnlni
of the present session of mu'llninont Mr
Tnrt , editor of the French-Canadian papoi
La Canadian , charged In the house of com
nons that Hon. Thomas McGroovy , inotnbc
for Quebec west , had sold his Itilltionco will
Sir Hector Langovln , mtnUtor of pubUi
works for the purpose of obtaining largo con
tracts on the graving domes nt Quebec , alsi
at Esqulmault , for the llrni of Connelly
Larkln & Co. , of which 11 rm Me
Groovy's brother .was a meinbor. Tin
mattur was referred to the conunlttoo am
privileges and elections which have booi
taking cvlucnco under oath for two months ,
The principal witnesses have boon Owen
Eugcnn Murphy , once notorious in Nou
York as tno defaulting troaiurer of the excise -
ciso board , and Robert McOrenvy , whoso
quarrel with his brother led to the revolts
tions. The ovldonco has gone a long wa-
toward proving tno charge * against Thomas
McGrcovy , but air Hector Langovin ha :
been implicated only Indirectly. Toda.-
Sir Ucelor took the stand and alter having
announced his resignation as minister of the
crown , made a general donlal of the charge :
against him.
Sir Hector Langevin's sudden dotcrminn
lion to resign has caused a big scnsatioi
here. His step was completely unexpected
It Is said that Hon. Thomas MeGreovy wouli
also resign. The resignation of Sir Hectoi
has proved to bo a vcrltaolo bombshell in
political circles. It was totally unoxpectoi
at this stage of the proceedings auu Is the
absorbing topic of conversation hero.
At the meeting of the committee on privileges -
logos and elections today , Sir Hector read i
long paper In defense of himself. Ho sak
he would prove it with the .statement that hi
had resigned in Justice to his collogeatos ii
parliament and on the committee. His state
incut was very voluminous. Ho denied cm
phatically thotruMi of all the charges against
him and asserted his innocence in
the most positive manner , It was
absolutely untrue , ho declared , thai
ho hud over received $10,000 from Owen N
Murphy ; likewise bad no relations whatever
with Murphy. Ho was not awuro that his
son , Lafenn Langevillc , had received a cotil
eithe , directly or Indirectly. Ho contended
that Ills work was perfectly honorable , and
that there baa been no manipulation of pub
lic contracts.
lu support of each assertion ho quoted doc
union ts which he considered irrefutable prool
of Ills innocence. With regard to Mr. Pitus ,
who said ho gave Sir Hector $10UUO in 18S7 ,
the minister said that , ho hid no recol
lection of the alleged transaction ,
oven if the payment was made for oloctlor
purposes , as "Mr. Pitus had declared undot
oath. It must bo remembered , pointed oul
Sir Hector , that this alleged occurrence
took place six years after Mr. Pitus had
ceased to perform work for the publlo works
department.
Sir Hector reviewed nil the ovi-
donee In a most comprehensive manner ,
lie denied that ho had over profited by
any contract and said that ho baa never had
any private dealings with LarUin , Connelly &
Co. , contractors , or any otio eUo Inconsistent
with his position as a minister of the crown ,
At the meeting of the committee on public
works today it is shown in ttio examination
of witnesses of the printing bureau thai
$1-14 ( worth of paper had been got in Novem
ber of ISb'.l from tno Now England paper com
pany which had been ordered by Hon.Chnplut ,
Mr. . Chaplet said that if Mr. Lister intended
to prove cognizance on his part of wrong
doing in connection will , this paper ho hoped
ho would do it through the house und not
through the committee. Ha was prepared at
any time to face the charge.
In concluding his testimony before- the
committee on privileges und election , Sir
Hector said In explanation of the memoran
dums , which appeared in McGreovy's book ,
that the notes on which his ( Sir Hector's )
name appeared wcro discounted by Thomas
B. McGreovy in ISTii and in 1877
to pay the expenses of an election suit which
had coat u great deal of money. Ho was not
then a member of the government. Thomas
B. McUrouvy had loaned him money and
had promised to pay the Interest and renew
the notes from time to time. Ho had never
board anything moro of the notes and had
not bothered his mind about them. The
cross-examination will probably tuku place
tomorrow. _

RIHNI : , Aug. 11. The International geographical
graphical congress which opened hero ro-
ccntly mot this morning and continued its
discussion of geographical questions. Much
interest is manifested In thu work of the con
gress and many prominent geographers tire
In attendance from all the countries ol th
world interested In the science of geog
raphy. At today's session a resolu
tion was Introduced providing for the
preparation of a map on n scaleof one-
millionth and also for thu appointment of un
international committee to determine the
principles upon wnlch the preparation ol
this map shall proceed.
Among the questions which will bo dis
cussed by the congress are those of a prime
meridian , a universal hour and tUo rules tr
bo observed in the spoiling of geographical
names. The object of the resolution intro
duced today for the preparation of u
map of the world on a one-
millionth scale Is to destroy the
illusion that nlUho countries of the world
are sulllciontly well known us to show that
thcro is still plenty of opportunity for ex
plorers to open up territory that is still
comparatively unknown.
In connection witn the congress , there la
being held a geographical exhibition , at
which all the nations except Croat Britain
and the Netherlands uro represented. Mucli
disappointment is expressed at the fnllurt
of America to send the great collection
of maps thai was recently on exhibition in
Now York which wcro ttio subject of admira
tion of largo numbers of geographers for the
minuteness of the details of the earth's llgu
ration which they sot forth. 1'bo congress
adopted a resolution to the effect that tlu
geographical societies of the dllTorunt coup
trios roprojoutcd should urge their ruspoo
tlvo governments to found chairs of geography
raphy in their universities.
