(No. 476.) AN ORDINANCE Authorizing the department of law to settle the cases arising from the paving and curbing of Linden avenue, which have been appealed to the superior court, for fifty per cent of the amount assessed by the botitd of viewers. ing, reached degrees about 1 o'clock in tne atternoon. At clock it was SI degrees, but fortunately during this high temperature the humidity of the morning lowered considerably. The excessive heat remained steaaily in force, dropping to 9o degrees at 4 o'clock, but never going below that point until after o'ciocK last evening, making a stretch of five continuous hours that the temperature stood at ski degrees or over in one day.

It was fortunate for the toiling masses that yesterday was a holiday. Prostrations would undoubtedly have become alarmingly frequent otherwise. The official temperature was considerably lower mat existing in tna streets. inn people walking were intense sufferers and many cases ot incipient illness were noted as a direct result of the severe heat. At o'clock last rught the temperature fed three degrees and at o'clock it was W5 uegrees, or six degrees warmer than the same time Saturday night.

Only three flays during July have reached this high temperature and none held it so long as yesterday. indications for to-day promise little relief. The reports from Western points show that tne high temperature is maintained generally and promises to pass like a slowly moving wave over Pittsburg during the next 24 hours. Rain is not looked for here and the only hope held out Is that within 4S hours there may be a slight fail in ihe temperature. A year ago the temperat lie on July 27 was Si degrees.

It wa one the warmest days of the summer. In the tem perature on the same date was 93 decrees. Betwten the latter tisue and yesterdav no record came up to that made during the last 24 hours. Thus far the general temperature of the month, based on the average ot each day, has exceeded the normal temperature lor July by 1 degrees. The rain fail has shown a deficiency of 1 ti incites, show ins that July has been a dry month and pr.

spects are that It will continue so. The only offset to this condition was the unusually wet month of June, in which the was excessive for the whole month. Talking with a number of physicians yesterday developed the fact that the high temperature was rffpotsibie for considerable sickness, particularly among the oliier people and children. Many are ursr-irg caution against severe exertion during the trying times liUe the present. Jewish Chautauqua Adjourns.

STRIKING SHOE VALUES PARISIAN POLICE KEEP THE FEMININE MANIFESTANTS BACK. GOOD WORK BY GENDARMES. Rioters Roughly Handle Priest, but Are Prevented From Throwing Him in Seine. SERIOUS TROUBLE AVOIDED. COPYRIGHT CABLE TO THE FOST.

PARIS. July 27. Dense crowds of Nationalists and Socialists filled the Rue Rovale and Place de la Concorde to-day and attempted to riot over the closing the religious schools under the religious associations' law. The mounted police charged the crowds at a trot and dispersed them without much trouble. A number of Socialists seized a priest and attempted to throw him into the Seine.

The trouble did not prove as serious as it was expected it would owing to the stringent measures adopted by the police, which were energetically carried out. General Andre, minister of war. in a speech at La Roche last night, declared tnat the government has decided to break up clerical tyranny and despotism, which hitherto had prevented France from progressing as it should. Nothing mat the adversaries of the republic could do would prevent Prime Minister Combes from carrying out the policy for which had assumed office. The crowd which gathered In the place de la Concorde to-day numbered persons, while as many more thronged the Champs-Elysee.

The clerical and anti-clerical forces about equally divided the gatherings. The former were distinguishable by the red, white and blue paper tiowers which they wore, while the latter sported red eglantines. An imposing force of police and mounted municipal guards had much trouble in keeping the manifestants constantly moving, and at- times they were forced to charge to prevent the crowd becoming too dense. On the whole the crowds were good natured and mainly confined themselves to shouting "Liberty! 'Long live the sisters'." and "We want the sisters!" To which the anti-clericals replied "Vive Republique!" and "Down with the priests!" tha manifestations was the large number of women, many of them well dressed, who actively participated. Nor were these all clerical in their sympathies, for the anti-clerical women were also cut in strong force and they occasionally made things lively tor their clerical sisters, whom the police had some difficulty in protecting.

In one instance- detachment of mounted guarus had to rescue three well-dressed women from the hands of a group of Socialist women who were bent on mobbing them. The clericals made several attempts to reach the Place Beauveau, on which the Elysee and the Ministry of the Interior are situated, 1-iut were prevented ron doing so by strong cordons of police and municipal guards, which were stationed at all the approaches in o.der to prevent demonstrations in front ol these buildings. i hf demonstrations culminated when a group of 3u women, some in carriages and some on foot, headed by Mesdames Reille. De Mun. Cibiel and De Pomm rol, attempted to reach the ministry oi the interior in order to present to Premier Combes a petition on behalf of the Sisters.

The police, however, refused to allow them to pass. Subsequently the clericals made an an-grv rush on the cordon guarding the Avenue Gabrielle, and the soldiers had to use trte butts of their guns to keep back the crowd. Another violent Incident occurred on the Champs Elysees, where the crowd began throwing the small iron chairs bordering the sidewalks among the feet of the horses of the mounted guards. One horse fell, injuring his rider. A number of prominent Nationalists, including Deputies Miilevoye and Auffray and several municipal councillors, were conspicuous in the crowd and were much ovated by their followers and hooted by the anti- clericals.

TRUSTS PARALYZE TREATIES. Russian Paper's Comment on the Brussels Sugar Convention. ST. PETERSBURG, July 27. The different organs of the ministry of finance publish an identical article on the note of M.

De Wltte, the minister of finance, regarding the Brussels sugar convention. The article declares that the application of increased duties to refined sugar exported from Russia must be regarded as an infringement of existing treaties, and that such infringement would serve as a precedent for a whole series of similar acts. Referring to Russia's answer to "America's arbitrary increase of the sugar duty," the article contends that is Justified in taking similar action in analagous cases. Discussing the trust question generally, the article declares that the trusts have paralyzed all treaties and prevented their development on a sound basis. POPE'S THANKS TO PRESIDENT.
