ture of the Month—Rainfall Is
Slight, Though There Were a Few
Storms—The Details.
The weather last month was princi
pally weather. There were all sorts
and kinds of weather and lots of it.
In the first place there was frost oh
two nights and a heavy frost on an
other night, and that for May is doing
pretty well. Also during the last part
of the month there were days which
could give an almost correct imitation
of summer. The heaviest temperature
registered through the month on the
thermometers at the local weather sta
tion was 89 degrees, the lowest was 32
degrees. A jump from freezing to sun
stroke weather.
Rain was^conspicuous by its absence
One or two pretty good batches of the
wet element fell from the sky but the
grand total precipitation only ^mount
ed to 2.37 inches. The coldest Jlay was
May 7 and the warmest was/May 17.

NO NEED OF WORKERS
SAN FRANCISCO ABLE TO TAKE
CARE OF ITS OWN LABOR
SITUATION'
Despite. Alleged Want of Men, Very
Few Have Gone From Iowa and It
Is Not Expected that Stricken City
Will Drain Laborers From the East.
Despite press announcements that
there was a great demand in San
Francisco and surrounding towns for
all kinds of labor for rebuilding the
ill-fated cities, local labpr conditions
have not in the least been affected by
the earthquake ind Are, and the rail
roads say that few laborers and me
chanics are being taken west from any
part of the country.
The first call for help was made
while .the ruins of San Francisco wese
still smouldering, and left the irepres
sion that mechanics and laborers of
all kinds could find work in great
quantity and at high wages by rush
ing to the city at once. This, it has
been found, was largely due to the
first frenzied demand for men to as
sist In rushing up temporary struc
tures for the resumption of business,
and has not really continued to the ex
tent that was anticipated. The em
ployment agencies and labor bureaus
in Iowa are a unit in the opinion that
it will be some time before there will
actually be any need of new men for
the trades In the west, and do not ex
pect that the rebuilding of San
Francisco will at any time cause a
serlouse drain on the labor conditions
in the east.
Several managers of state employ
ment agencies have stated that at
first there were many inquiries from
men who had partially made up their
minds to strike west at once. No call
came from San Francisoo, however,
and the men were discouraged as
generally as possible from rushing to
the city which is already over
crowded.
Not Building Yet.
Men who have returned from San
Francisco say that in spite of best ef
forts of business men of that city, it
will be several months before the ac
tual rebuilding will begin. Here and
there individual structures will grow
with the rapidity of mushrooms, but
the general rebuilding will be gradual
Nothing so far has been done except
to remove the debris from the sites of
ruined buildings.
Thousands of men now in San Fran
clsco are waiting for the change to get
work, and there will "be no dearth of
labor for many months. In fact, it will
be far harder to secure the materials
needed for rebuilding than It will be to
get the men to build them...
It is thought that the great exodus
from San Francisco was composed
mostly of the trades rather than the
mechanic classes. Small shopkeepers,
clerks and business men have left the
city, while the laboring men and me
chanics have remained. Others have
gone from the east as individuals, but
the testimony of railroad officers that
thereh as been a concerted movement
of laborers towards the west is proof
tiiat San Francisco will for a long time
be left to care for itself in regard to
its own labor situation.
CUBA STANDS BY SAVIOUR.
British Treaty Is Confirmed as Amend
ed to Suit United States.
Havana, May 31.—The senate last
evening ratified the Anglo-Cuban
treaty of com'merce, navigation and
industry as amended by the foreign
relations* committee May 13. The vote
was 11 to 4. The opponents to the
amendments declared that Great Bri
tain would not accept the treaty
its amended form, while the advocates
of the amendments insisted that there
was no reason for Great Britain not
accepting it. These latter declared
that the friendship of the United
States was the first consideration in
any event.

coach and were driven swiftly to the
palace.
Royal Coach Blood Splashed.
All this happened so quickly that
people away from the Immediate vicin
ity were not aware of the .tragedy, that
had been enacted, and continued to ac
claim their sovereigns. Soon, how
ever, there appeared the empty royal
coach with two horses missing and the
others spattered with blood, several of
them bleeding from wounds. The
grooms and drivers looked deathly
pale in their spangled uniforms. Then
came a boy shouting that a bomb had
been "thrown at the king.
The appearance of the king and
queen in a coach brought out delirious
ovations. The fact was recognized
that the sovereigns had been spared.
Not Aimed at Vladimir.
Soon after the explosion it was re
ported that the bomb was not intend
ed for the king, but for the Russian
Grand Duke Vladimir, who was sup
posed to be one of the imperial guests
of the wedding. The report proved to
be unfounded
As a curious coincidence it is just a
year ago yesterday that a bomb was
thrown at King Alfonso in Paris. As
the king, accompanied by President
Loubet, was driving away from a gala
performance at the opera May 31, 1905,
an anarchist threw a bomb at the royal
carriage. It struck a trooper of the
Cuirrasier escort tfri tne shoulder, fell
to the ground, and exploded without in
juring the king or thje president, who
continued their drive) to the Palais
d'Orsay.
