CHEF OF BATTALION John w. Miller has
made a report to the Fire Commissioners
upon the recent fire ladder disaster. The
report reads like whitewashing document,
and will be far from satisfactory to the peo-
pie. The verdict Of the Coroner's jury is
much more to the purpose, and censures the
Commissioners for not having submitted the
whole business was job, and a distressing
Job in the fact that it caused the death Of SO
many brave men.

The INTERESTING QUESTION Of defaulted
railway bonds was considered at a meeting
of the holders of first mo rtgage bonds of the
Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad held yes
terday. The main point of the discussion
was lively denunciation of the State of
Alabama This whole question of defaulted
bonds must sooner or later be considered. 1t
nearly involves the honor of our country,
and we cannot expect any return of our
cEedit until it is settled upon some basis
honorable to all.

The Development OF New Storm Gem
tres.

The extended observations of the Signal
Service Bureau indicate that two new storm
centres are being developed, one in the North
west and another over the West India Islands.
Our attention has been attracted during the
past two days to q marked fall in the baro-
metric pressure over the territory of the Upper
Missouri River accompanied by a very
decided rise of temperature. Up to mid
night on Wednesday there was every reason
to believe that serious storm was develop
ing which would follow the usual course for
those in our northern latitudes-over the
lakes and through the ST. Lawrence Valley.
Toward noon yesterday the area of low
barometer began to move enthusiastically,
transferring the centre Of disturbance to the
north of Lake Superior, so that in its eastward
passage it would travel over the northern
portions of the Canadian territory unless
some change of the atmospheric conditions
influenced more southerly course. How
ever, the tendency of all these Northwestern
storms to seek path over the humid area
of the lakes will, without doubt attract the
storm centre southwark again, and its course
Buffalo, and thence through the ST. Law
renee Valley Although the movement of
this disturbance possesses great interest, on
account of the danger it creates in lake
navigation, we are still more impressed
with the gravity Of the meteorological
indications in the Gulf of Mexico,
where there are unmistakable evidences
of the development of another cyclone,
somewhere southeast of Cuba. Stimuli
taneously with the northward movement of
the storm centre in the Upper Missouri
region marked barometric depression be-
came apparent in Florida, as if the entire
atmospheric body covering the United States
was pressed northward by an irresistible
force acting from the southwark. This move
nent during yesterday and the attendant
phenomena are an exact repetition OF those
which preceded the appearance of the late
cyclone in the Gulf of Mexico. The diff
Guilty of obtaining reports from Cuba and the
few stations scattered among the West India
Islands, while observations are being taken
on our coast, leaves the Signal Office in doubt
as to the character and extent of the disturb
ances indicated by the isobars of low pres
sure on our continent. We are, therefore,
awaiting advices from Santiago de Cuba and
Barbados, which lie directly in the track of
cyclones, and, although the intelligence will
necessarily reach US after the passage of the
storm at these points, we will be able to pre-
dict its probable course, as we did in the case
of the Texas cyclone. We have accurately
noted every feature fthe recent cyclone and
chronicled its progress and effects from the
time it made its appearance at Santiago de
Cuba to that of its disappearance off the At
lantic coast Bains dAsirons of furnishing

ACCORDING TO THE SPANISH CoRREsPoNDEST
Of the London Times the aspect of affairs in
Spain is more hopeful The advent to power
of liberals whose hands are clean and having
q reputation for talent and integrity is some
thing new in Spain. The people are weary
of incessant change; and if, as is reported, the
army supports the new Ministry, we may
look for a State government at last.
