THE WEATHER.-The barometer il above the
mean in all the districts east of the Mississippi
West Of that river fall has set in, and there
are Indications Of the movement of disturb
ance toward the Lower Missouri Valley.
The centre of highest is now over the upper
lake region, and is advancing eastward steadily.
Rain fell in the central valleys during the early
portion oY the day, and snow is reported in the
lake regions. The weather was clear along the Az
lantic coast and in the Northwest, while in the
other sections OF the country cloudincss increased
toward night. The temperature varied but little
in the Northwest and upper lake districts, fell!
In the Atlantic coast districts and rose dc
cidedly in the West and Southwest. The winds
have been light in all the districts except in the
Southwest, where they increased to fresh and
brisk. The disturbance that will advance into
the central valleys from the West on Saturday
will move on the southern margin of the high
area, so that we shall experience northcrly to
easterly winds during its passage. The weather
In New York and its vicinity to-day will be cold
and fair, followed toward night by increasing
cloudiness and possibly occasional snow show
ers. Tomorrow 1t will be cold and partly
cloudy, with snow.

Professor Thompson b. Maury has con-
tributed to the Popular Science Monthly an
interesting article upon "The International
Weather Service" by which it appears that
he has no acquaintance whatever with
what has been done by the HERALD in this
field of the practical application Of scien-
tific inquiries. Professor Maury bears with
especial emphasis upon the importance Of
all labors in meteorological study that may
contribute toward the construction of q
complete chart Of the atmospheric a
pictorial presen tation of the atmosphere as
we now possess of the ocean and the land
in which its great currents, its whirlpools,
its calm places and its action in given cir
cumstances. its rising and falling tides and
tenn peratures shall be set down, and he
says of the practical importance of the
kind of information this would give us that
.the immediate value Of every means which
offers any approximation to correct storm
warnings for the British and French coasts,
freaueuted by the navies and merchant
marines OF every flag, is beyond calculation
in dollars and cents" So IL is, and we are
astonished that 80 accomplished m eteorol-
ogist as Mr.. Maury, having his attention
called to this very point, has not informed
himself Of what has been actually done by
the HERALD Weather Service in realizing
the success he looks upon as grand ideal.
What would be thought Of map or chart
of the oceans which left out the Gulf Stream
of the Atlantic and the great Japan current
of the Pacifc2 But Mr.. Maury, if he
should now offer sketch of the
atmospheric ocean, would apparently leave
out those aerial currents which bear TO
Europe the regular consignment of storms
predicted by the HERALD, Tor he seems not
to have heard of them. In contrast to Mr..
Maurys insufficient information on this
point we may note the ample knowledge
OF Professor Proctor, as shown in one of
the chapters of his new book, from which
citations are given elsewhere, in which,
in reference to the importance of the Gulf
Stream AZ to its effect upon English weather,

ter the details Of canal construction in all
their relations and pass judgment accord
ingly. They will necessarily depend upon
authority, and as the commission of scien-
tidc officers appointed by President Grant
to review the surveys was unanimous in ia
vor OF the Nicaragua route. after a. careful
investigation prolonged through several
years, it certainly is reasonable that the
American people should abide by its report
unless it can be overturned by superior
authority, and the vote of the Paris Con-
gress is not sufficient for that purpose.
We think that our correspondent misap-
prehends the view of the HERALD concern
ing Admiral Ammen's proposal. which has
been rejected by our government, of fur
Their and final consultation of engineers,
representing the United States and other
countries, concerning canal route. That
proposal, of course, is ceptible of
variety Of interpretations at the pleasure Of
critics. Our correspondent construes it
into a.doubt on the Admirals part whether
the Nicaragua route is positively the best.
The Interpretation we expressed, in words
"ANSAA ~ S"'AeS ~ duOeo, - ehoo VIC <Au-
miral made it ito satisfy the world at large
and to hold out an olive branch to the
vicomte de Lesseps rather than to clear up
any scientific doubts in his own mind"
We have good reasons for adhering to
this opinion in preference to our corre-
spondent's. and need only refer to the
interview with Admiral Ammen in Phila-
delphia, which was printed in yesterdays
HERALD, in confederation of them. Nor do
we think from what we know of Mr..
Menocal that our correspondent is correct
in attributing to him also a doubt concern
ing the superiority of the Nicaragua route
because he said few weeks ago that che
proposes soon to return to Nicaragua. where
he intends to make still further investiga-
tions concerning the proposed canal"
The HERALD has only one desire about on
interoceanic canal, and that is for the
selection of the best route. The United
States surveys and the official report Of the
United States Com missioners, founded
upon them, in favor Of Nicaragua, consti-
tute at present the most authoritative ex4
position of the subject, and the project of
further consultation of official engineers
to revise that conclusion has, in Admiral
Ammen's words, been "maturely consid-
cred by our government and regarded as
unnecessarv

Blaine alone, should be divid d among

the rest would be distributed in the

The Afghan troops have not let the grass
grow in the streets of Cabul after the
British evacuation. They are now in the
Bala Hissar and occupy the city. while the
British are in the intrenched positions at
Sharpur, few miles distant. That Gen.
eral Roberts did very wise thing in
moving out of the Afghan capital is
unquestionable, for with its broken
walls and ruined citadel it was prac-
tically untenable with such small
force as is under his command. In
the canton m ents. we'll provisioned, he will
be able to defy almost any number Of un-
disciplined Afghans, who will not find on
the plain the cover which they seek to such
advantage on the hillsides. The news pub
lished in our cable columns yesterday
morning must prove welcome to England. II
it is true that Heratee and ,Cabulese troops
have got to fighting among themselves, and
that Ayoob Khan has been imprisoned, it is
almost certain that the force which left
Herat some weeks ago for Cabul will re-
turn to that city. This will relieve General
Roberts of great danger. According to
our cable dispatches published this morn
ing, it is asserted that the buried treasure
Of Yakoob Khan unearthed by the English
after entering Cabul consists almost entirely
of Russian gold. This discovery should
not be such very startling one to the Eng
lish, though it is strange that the matter
has not caused more stir in England before
now. Any way, with this certainty the
Russian bugbear will assume greater pro-
portions than ever in England, and will
certainly cast an ominous shadow across

We give place Willingly to an interesting
argument concerning the interoceanic
canal which is intended to disparage the
Nicaragua route in favor of some one of the
several courses proposed within the terri
tory Of the Colombian government and
presumably covered by the concession
which our correspondent styles the Wyse-
Lesseps grant. 1t causes us regret to pub
lish this communication anonymously, for
the highly influential writer's name would
enlighten his reasoning on a subject which
ranges somewhat above popular compre-
henson in its scientific character. In
favoring one route or another, the merits Of
which depend on scientific surveys, the
public at largo cannot be expected to mas
