NUMBER 80.
The International Meteorological Congress Of
April 18th. 1879.

The international meteorological Congress,
recently convened at Rome, terminated its
labors after brief and rather hurried ses-
sion, by referring much Of the business, for
which it was convened to the discretion of a
committee originated by the Congress the
decisions of tho CONGRESS- itself haze therefore
not been numerous
The meeting was large and showed quite
general enthusiasm on the subject of inter
national Meteorology.
The Congress recommended that for each
country, daily synoptic -weather-charts be
made Tor study, as has been the daily prac-
tice for the United States since 1870; that
storm tracks should bc traced; weather no
tices given To farmers; winds, temperatures,
etc, studied by the month and by the year;
instruments at all stations compared with
each other; the general march of weather
phenomena over the surface of the globe
noted, uniformity of observation sought for
and other procedures, as has been long the
customary plan on this side of the Atlantic
On the subject Of actually simultaneous
observations, first originated and practically
put in Use by the Z nited States in 1870, AMI
the basis of observation on which the greatest
advances and success have been made liy
this country, it was resolved, THAT the Con
gress is of the opinion that the development
of simultaneous observations contributes
much 10 the progress of meteorology, and
that all works which are undertaken in this
direction ought to be encouraged"
publicationso of the United States Signal
Office, such as the Monthly Utdthe- Rerie'c,
with the Synoptic and International Wealth
er Charts, were referred to with approval,
and with the recommendation, ''that the
Congress is of opinion that the publication of
a similar ReUielo would contribute much to
the advancement of meteorological study,
and is therefore recommended to he made
for Europe MeTe could Be no higher com
piimcnt paid to our Signal Service.
Finally, the Congress asks that the sta
tions on Mount Washington and Pixies Peak
(thc highest station on the earth), may he
maintained, making even more observations
than those now attempted, and that
all the observations may be published
for the use of all meteorolOgists
everywhere As the utility Of those
stations was once questioned is inter
esting. 1t must be gratifying to Americans
to notice SO much of approval of the meteor
illogical work of the United States, and so
general a wish for the continuance and ex-
tension of it. The Congress made no prac-
teal suggestions as 10 weather predictions in
Europe a matter, which it would seem,
might have been arranged with very little
difficulty; but in time, doubtless, the Euro
pean nations will adopt this system, which
is found of such daily practical use and
value, throughout this country.

Washinyton Notes.

The friends of the Warner Silver bill are
confident of its final passage through the
Senate. Senator Jones of Nevada has come
back To fight for it and says that he is sure of
seven Republican Votes and six majority for
it.
In the House, Thursday, the Speaker sub
mitted message, transmitting for the in
formation and action Of Congress the pro
cee'iings and report of the Board of officers
IN the case of Filz John Porter 1t was re-
ierred to the Committee on Military Affairs.
The Committee on Privileges and Elcc-
tons has commenced the examination Of
witnesses in the contested Senatorial election
case OF SpofTord against Kellogg.
There is strong movement of the extreme
Democrats to prevent the confirmation of
Secretary 1lcCary rs Judge of the Iowa
circuit. This arises from the pronounced
position he has taken in regard to the pend
my attempt TO coerce the Executive, and for
the strong support he has given the Prcsi-
dent. If he is rejected, it will he because
the Democrats of the Senate are unable to
hold themselves above petty spite work.
Senator Blaine isprcparing speech on the
Southern Democracy AS rcpudiators and rob
bcrS. He has collected data showing the
amount of money borrowed and belred from
Northern and European capitalists, and then
dish"nored. Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisi-
ana, south Carolina and Virginia figure up
over thirty millions Of dcspolafions, and
this alleged robbery is said to he the work Of
Democrats and natives, not Republicans or
carpetlaggcrs.
