The Governor Makes Good TJ.e of His
Power.
Sacramento, July 26. — Governor
Markbam today pardoned Manuel Mi
nos, who had been sentenced to one
day's imprisonment at San Qaeatin for
furnishing liquor to an Indian. He was
tried and convioted in San Bernardino
coanty on Tuesday.
Judge Campbell, the sentencing judge,
writes tbe governor asking the pardon
and the removal of the disabilities co
that the stats will not be put to the ex
pense of conveying the prisoner to San
Quentin to serve out a 24-honra' sen
tence. It appears that he had been in
tbe country but four days, having
crossed the line from old Mexico one
day last week, and was not familiar
witb the laws of this country. He was
resting by the roadßide when an Indian
squaw came along and asked him for a
drink, and be gave her a drink of angel
ica wine. Immediately some deputy
constables pounced upon him and took
him to jail.
Tbe last legislature made the offense
of furnishing liquor to Indians a felony,
leaving tbe court no discretion. The
Mexican pleaded guilty, and aa it was a
state's prison offense the court sen
tenced him to one day and then secured
tbe pardon.

By the Associated Presa
Chicago, Jnly 26.—Prof. W. L.
Moore, in charge of the weather bureau
in this city, tonight furnished the fol
lowing special report on the extraordin
ary hot weather now prevailing in the
central portion of the country:
An abnormally low barometrical con
dition, attended by extreme heat and
brisk south winds, covers tbe middle
Mississippi and lower Missouri valleys.
The aroa throughout which the temper
ature this afternoon (Thursday) exceed
ed 100 degrees, embraces tbe states of
South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, South
eastern Minnesota, Northwestern Illi
nois. Throughout the entire Miesis
siopi valley, the Ohio valley, Texas and
Indian Territory the temperature is
exceeding 90.
A WITHERING BLAST.
Omaha, July 20.—A more withering
blast never swept across the prairie
than that which scorched tbe great
plain between the Miesouri river and
the Rocky mountains today. For two
days the eimoon has blown from the
sonthwost, but each day waa hotter than
ita predecessor. Tne temperature was
86 at this point yesterday ; today it wae
10(i. From all over the territory tribu
tary to Omaha, a strip 300 mil ra north
and south and 500 miles east and west,
come reports of the terrible effects of
the hot wind. Wherever tbe ground
wae already dry the growing corn has
has been baked. Where there was any
moißture left there is still hope for the
crop. A rain in 24 or 36 hours would
be worth a great deal of money. Small
grain bas been harvested generally and
will not Buffer. Potatoes are faring bet
ter than corn. The latter crop is just
I setting in the ear and ia therefore mare
i susceptibla to heat.
News from Cbadron says rain fell jnst
after 0 p. m. The temperature there
reached 105.
Few prostrations have been reported.
A. M. Wright, private secretary to Gov
ernor Croonee, was overcome at his

like heat has prevailed here for the past
week, oulmiuhting this afternoon at 107
degrees in the shade. Vegetation of all
kinds ie suffering badly.
DROUGHT IN KANSAS.
Kansas City, July 26.—1n Republic
county, Kansas, hot winds bave pre
vailed for three days, causing vegetation
to dry up rapidly. The corn crop is
already badly injured, and if the present
weather continues much longer will be a
total failure.
For three days intense heat has been
prevailing all over thia section, doing
incalculable damage. Tbe thermometer
registered over 100 degrees in many
plncua.
TorsKA, Kan., Jnly 26, —Reports from
Central and Western Kansas are very
discouraging ia more than half the
state. In tbe western half of the etate
the crop ia ruined while in the central
part the crop will be raised only in sec
tion, where local rains full. The
corn in many of the fields has burned
up, and during tbe past three days hot
winds have swept over the western half
of Kansas, leaving destruction in tbeir
path.
SUNSTROKES IN GOTHAM.
New York, July 26. —Thomas Dorrin,

SENSATIONAL SHOOTING.
Senator Foley of Nevada Murdered by a
Wwman.
Runo, NaT., July 26.—Mrs. M. A.
Hartley tbig evening shot and killed
State Senator M. D. Foley. The cause
of the shooting is not known. Mrs.
Hartley is an artist nr.'. has rooms in the
Bank of Nevada building, where the
shooting occurred. Foley was shot iv
the stomach and died in half an hour.
Mrs. Hartley has been arrested.
The shooting of Senator Foley caused
the greatest excitement here, as he is
one of tbe moßt prominent men in the
state, having occupied a conspicuous
place in politics and having been presi
dent of the Bank nf Nevada. Mrs.
Hartley, when asked to make a state
ment, eaid she had nothing to say, ex
cept that she bad shot Senator ruler
and intended to do it. She had known
Foley sioce last October. Mrs. Hartley
is a widow. Dr. Phillips, in whose office
Foley died, eaid be beard two shots. He
stepped to his office door and saw Foley
iat the bead of the stairs. Foley waved
his hand at Mrs. Hartley aud ordered
ber back. Then he walked into tbe
doctor's office, announced that he had
been shot and became nnconccious,
dying in 20 minutes.
Only Foley and the woman were pres
ent at tbe time ol tbe shooting. He
made no ante-mortem statement and
she declined to cay anything except that
she tired tbe shot. The bullet entered
near the navel and ranged downward,
cutting tbe intestines and severing the
femoral artery. The supposition is that
the affair is the result of an intrigue, as
the deceased wae an admirer oi the
fair Bex.

San Francisco, July 26.—A boom in
Californiadried apricots is expected this
year. Tbe crop will be an enormous
one, gome growers estimating it as high
as 12,000 tons. Owing to the fact tbat
last year's crop has been used up on ac
count of ths small fruit yield in tbe
east, the California growers are antic
ipating fancy prices for tbeir apricots.

Bj ths AMOcUted Press.
Washington, Jnly 26.—Republican
tactics prevented tbe Democrats of the
senate from potting into effect toda,
tbe programme arranged in the caucus
yesterday. Tbey did not succeed in
getting tbe bill back into conference ai
tbey hoped to do, bnt tbey cleared the
way co far as they were able to do, hav
ing Senators Vilas and Caffery to with
draw their motions for the inttrnction
of the conferees, and by voting down
Senator Hill's motion with the aid of
the Republicans. But for the fact that
the Republican side of the chamber
took up Mr. Vilas'idea, the bill would
have been referred back before the
close of tbe day's session.
The Democrats are not worried over
Senator Washburn's motion (wbich has
the same end in view aa that with
drawn by Senator Vilas), because tbey
claim Vilas will not vote with tbe mi
nority to lay Waabbnrn'a motion on the
table.
The Democrats, while not admitting
ell the Republicans claim, are giving
the question of keeping their forces in
line the most careful attention. If tbe
one-eighth of a cent differential were
stricken out, tbe effect would be very
demoralizing, and the experiment ts one
which tbey will go to any legitimate
length to avoid at this juncture.
There is little hope that the Republi
cans wiil be able to strike ont the one
eighth of a cent differential on engar.
It is understood Stewart (Popnliet, of
Nevada), whose vote ia necessary to
carry the proposition, will not vote
with them.
Senator Vilas, who was secretary of
the interior and later postmaster-gen
eral, during Mr. Cleveland's first ad
ministration, replied today to Senator
Gorman's attack upon the president.
For two hoars he held the floor amid
the rapt attention of the eenate and
gallerieß, delivering his acatbing rebuke
of the Maryland eenator. He denounced
Mr. Gorman's assault as wanton, reck
less and unjustifiable, and though he de
clared Mr. Cieveland needed no defense
at bis hands, he took up seriatim, tbe
charges made by Mr. Gorman and met
them with masterly skill and logic. He
made his statement, he said, in tbe in
terest of the truth of history. Mr. Gor
man was not in the senate at tbe time
and to tbis fact the Wisconsin senator
called attention with regret.
Iv conclusion he eulogized the per
sonal character and publio integrity of
Mr. Cleveland in the moat glowing
terma, declaring with dramatic fervor
that the president of the United States,
who had received*so many evidences of
tbe honor and respect of tbe people,
could not suffer from this attack of tbe
Maryland senator.
At the conciueion of hia speech, Mr.
Vilas explatued that, in view of the fact
that Messrs. Gorman and Suiith had
assured him that his motion to recede
from the one-eighth differential in favor
of the refiners of sugar must fail, and
the further fact that a Democratic cau •
cue had decided to agree to a farther
conference without instructions, he
would withdraw the motion.
After some general remarks by Mr.
Stewart against the interference of the
executive with the legislative branch of
the government, Mr. Hill's motion that
the senate recede from its amendments
placing a duty of 40 cents a ton on coal
and iron ore was voted on and defeated,
the Republicans, except Mr. Hans
brough of iSerth Dakota, joining witb
tbe Democrats bound witb the caucus
agreement against it. The vote stood
6to 63 and 6to 64. Mr. Irby of South.
