The minister was taken ill while en route to his new- post of duty, and has not been able at any time since reaching there to transact the business of the legation. He went, under advice of the officials of the de partment at Washington, to tho hot •prings at Monterey, but has evidently received no substantial benefit from the treatment of the waters there, Upon the statement of his physician that five or six weeks’ stay in his na tive country would probably result iu > his complete restoration to health, ! the department of state has granted him sixty days’ leave of absence, i Minister Ransom will go direct to Asheville, in the western part of North Carolina, where it is hoped the bracing mountain air and generally salubrious climate will unite in the realization of the physician's expecta tion. Mr. Ransom was ill and quite feeble last winter, aud it was hoped ■ that his trip to Mexico would result in a speedy improvement of his oondi ^ OQ - As to Gresham’s Successor. It has been discovered that the pres ident is not under the necessity of making an appointment to fill the va cancy caused in the office of secretary of state by the death of Secretary Gresham within thirty days, as was at first supposed. While the statute does provide that no such vacancy cun be filled by tem porary appointment for a period long er than thirty days, a preceding stat ute, section 177, provides that, in the case of the death, resignation, absence or sickness of the head of any depart ment, the first or sole assistant there of shall, unless otherwise directed by the president, as provided by section 179, perform the duties of such head until a successor is appointed or such | sickness or absence shall cease. Now, iu this case, it is held that Mr. Uhl, the first assistant secretary, be comes acting secretary without any act of the president’s, and so the latter makes no temporary appointment and is not obliged to fill the vacancy in thirty days, as he would be if he did make such au appointment.

Ho ,ssuos » Circular In Regard to Judge Wood’s Decision. Eugene V. Debs, president of the American Railway Union, has ad dressed a circular letter to members of that organization in relation to the recent decision of tie United States suprejne court. The circular says: ‘A cruel wrong against our great and beloved order, perpetrated by t Unit ed States supreme court; but prison wall, , frown upon my self and others whom you chose as officials of your order, I assure you that neither despondency nor despair has taken the place of the course which has characterized ns and our order since the storms of persecution began to beat upon us. We have not loRt faith in the ultimate triumph of truth over perjury, of justice over wrong, however exalted may be the stations of those who perpetrated the out rages.” President Debs then reviews inci dents leading up to aud the results of the great railway strike and says: “In Russia the victim of autocratic displeasure is denied a trial by a jury of his peojjle. William A. Wood car ried out the Russian jMactice. In Rus sia the doomed man or woman is ar raigned before the supreme despot or one of his numerous satraps. Truth, justice, mercy are forever exiled. Age, sex, character, innocence, name and condition count for nothing. It is enough to know that the brave soul yearned for freedom and the penalty of exile, imprisonment, torture or death is inflicted, and it has come to this at last iu the United States of America, that the law of injunction is the will of a despot, and by the exer cise of this Russien power American Railway union officials go to prison, and the hope is that by the exercising of this power the American Railway union will be crushed. In this 6U preme juncture I call upon the members of the American Railway rmion to stand by their order. In God’s own good time we will make the despots’ prisons, where innocent men suffer, monumental.” NEW LABOR ORGANIZATION Te bo Known as the United Labor League of Western Pennsylvania.

Many Prostrations and Fatalities From the Fearful lleat. A Washington special says: The hot wave which has hovered over iho eastern and middle sections of the United States during the past few days has been a record-breaker, and the officials of the weather bureau are un able at the present time to predict any relief. There is an area of high pres sure that is central over Tennessee, which bus caused the present excessive heat to be so intensely felt. This high pressure, which has persistently hov ered over Tennessee, is known as the “permanent high,” and has been con tributed to very largely by southerly winds. During the past twenty-four hours in western Fennsylvatiia and Maryland the temperature has not been quite so high, a falling on ox from 2 to G degrees in the different sections of those states having been noted. The following are some of the maxi mum temperatures reached : 94 at New lork ; 90 at Harrisburg; 9G at l’hila delpliia; 94 at Pittsburg; 94 at Haiti more, and90 at Washington. At Phil adelphia the record has been broken by 2 degrees. At IVashington the thermometei has been even higher than 90 at this time of the year, as in June, 1874, when the temperature rose to 102—0 degrees warmer than it was Sunday. In New York city it was 3 degrees hotter during the day than on any 2nd of June in the past decade. The southern cities east of the Mis sissippi river have been feeling the ef fects of the hot wave to a great de gree. The following afe the cities in which records of high temperature were made: 1 icksburg, 98—2 above. Memphis, 98—1 above. Chattanooga, 98—4 above. New Orleaus, 94—2 abgve. Mobile, 90—1 above. Atlanta, 98—7 above. Augusta, 100—1 above. Savannah, 98—1 above. Charleston, 98—1 above. Charlotte, 98—5 above. Raleigh, 98—0 above. Louisville, 98—2 above. Indianapolis, 98—4 above. Seventeen Deaths in Philadelphia. The tropical heat that has prevailed since Thursdav has reaped a terrible harvest of death in Philadelphia. The prostrations from the heat number sev eral scores and on Friday there were two deaths, three Saturday and the climax was reached Sunday when seventeen persons died from heat prostration. The thermometer in the weather bureau office at its maximum at 2 o’clock Sunday registered 95 de grees, two lower than Saturday’s max imum. Fortunately the day was Sunday and the workers in the mills and fac tories were able to rest and seek what coolness they could. But for this the mortality would undoubtedly have been much higher than it was. Be sides the seventeen there were a score of prostrations reported by the police and how many more there were hi the households of many families they alone know. Monday’s Record. From 80 to 95 degrees in the shade was the rauge of the temperature in Chi cago Monday. From 7 o’clock steadily a. m., the mercury began to rise un til the maximum was reached at 3 p. m. This was the hottest day of the year and fatalities were the most num erous. Four deaths and several se rious prostrations were recorded by the police before night came to cool the atmosphere a little. At Baltimore the terrible heat con tinued to hold the city in its embrace, causing deaths and prostrations in considerable numbers. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon the official thermom eter registered 97 degrees, the highest point reached during the duy. At Philadelphia the thermometer started out at 5 o’clock Monday morn ing at 75 degrees and mounted up ward until at 3 p. m. it reached its maximum of 96 degrees—1 degree higher than Sunday. From that time on the mercury went slowly down ward until between 7 and 8 o’clock this evening a thunder storm passed over the city and the thermometer fell 13 degfees in an hour. There were forty-five cases of heat prostration and four deaths during the day. The weather was intensely hot at Louisville, Ky., the thermometer at the weather bureau at 2 o’clock regis tering 100 in the shade. Several per sons were overcome by heat, but no deaths ure reported. Knoxville Tribune Changes Hands.

Pound,owner of The Evening Sentinel and Chattanooga News. The Tribune will be hereafter issued from the Sen tinel office. TO THE TOMB. TIIE REMAINS OF SECRETARY GRESHAM LAID TO REST, While Federals and Confederates Join in Unveiling a Monument. Without ostentation, as befitted his life among his people, the remains of Walter Quinton Gresham, general in the Union army, judge of the federal courts, and secretary of state of the United States, were temporarily laid to rest in Oakland cemetery at Chica go, Thursday aftc c >n, amid the flow er strewn graves «*-» his comrades in arms—graves decorated by the hands of men who had fought them on the Ifloody battlefield—and in the shadow of the monument just dedicated in memory of the valor of those who had given their lives for the confederate cause. It was a most remarkable juxtaposi tion. In the earlier hours of the day, federals and confederates had joined in the unveiling of a monument to the 0,000 confederates who hail died in the military prison at Camp Douglas; the ex-confederate association bad strewn upon the graves of the Union soldiers buried there, amass of flow era brought from tho ground over which the two had fought less than a generation ago, and the union veterans had placed upon tho graves of their fallen comrades in the other cemete ries about the city the flowers which grew in their own latitude. Almost while the echoes of the volley tired over the confederate burying ground by the first regiment of the state aud of the bugle blare, and “taps” were still sounding and the smoke from their rifles wus still floating over the field of peace, the cortege of the dead secretary of state filed in through the gates into the cemetery, It was remarkably fitting as a climax to the remarkable ceremonies which had just closed that the remains of the man who claimed the allegiance of both the north and the south should be laid there—the keystone to tho arch of recemented friendship of which a visible sign had just been unveiled there. As a soldier he had won the respect of those who fought against him; as a jurist he had gained the love of the common people, and as secretary of state in a democratic ad ministration, be had commanded the support of the people of the south as Well as the north. The burial services, conducted by the Rev. S. J. McPherson, of the Sec ond Presbyterian church, were impres sive but simple, consisting merely of scriptural readings, a hymn by the choir and prayer. At their conclu sion, the remains were temporarily de posited in the receiving vault of the cemetery. No sa.lut'e was fired, the ceremonies concluding with “taps.” The train had been held at 03rd street, and the presidential party re turned to it and nt once started the return trip to Washington. SWIFT JUSTICE IN SPAIN. The Captain General of Madrid Shot by an Infantry Officer. Monday morning, at Madrid, Major Clavijo, infantry officer, walked into the office of General Primo Rivera, captain general of Madrid, whom he saluted. As he dropped his hand, af ter touching his cap, Major Clavijo drew a revolver and without a mo ment’s warning fired two shots at the general, both of which took effect in the chest. General Primo Rivera fell to the floor mortally wounded and his assailant attempted to fire again, -but General Aymerich, who was present, struck the assassin down with his sa ber. Summoning guards, he had him taken to prioon. A courtmartial was immediately summoned to consider the w case of Ma j or Clavijo found that he had a delib erate intention to kill General Primo Jtj vera> against whom he had a gru'dge. Sentence of death was passed on the mn j or an q flj B execution ordered to tako p ] ftce within twenty-four hours, FAVORS THE RECEIVER. Injunction of the Whisky,Trust Com mittee Refused. Judge Showalter, in the United States court at Chicago Monday, ren dered a decision in the demurrer of tho reorganization committee of the whisky trust to the bill of injunction of the Cetitral Loan and Trust com pany for an injunction under the bond mortgage. The court held that property in the hands of the receiver was being conserved and that it was subject to the mortgage lien, and that there was no allegation that the receiver would not conserve the property. The court, therefore, refused the injunction prayed for. The court also' refused* to appoint a separate receiver for the bondholders as requested, his ground for refusal being that the present receiver is taking good care of the property and should not be interfered with. Capital Punishment Restored. . The Michigan senate, by a vote o has passed the bill to restore capital punishment in certain cases in that stat6. Avoid the FJy Nuisance. Geranium plants in the °pen win dows are said .... to keep flies „ from enter ing. Another equally pleasant remedy is suggested by a housekeeper who said: “I buy 5 cents’ worth of oil of lavender at the drug store an- 1 mix it with the same quantity of water. Theu I put it in a common glass atomizer and spray it around the rooms wherever flies are apt to congregate, especially in the dining room, where I sprinkle it plentifully over the table linen. The odor is especially disagreeable to flies and they will never venture in its neighborhood, though to most people it has a peculiarly fresh and grateful smell.” Positive Proof.
