that they must earn their fees but it is improb-
able anything they say will influence the charac-

A storm Warning by vennor.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR.
In 1881 the latter portion of August was charac-
terzed by severe storms along the southern At
lantic states coast and in the vicinity of Charles
ton. The most severe OF them occurred on the
26th or 21th OF the month. Present Indications to
my way or reckoning, point to a recurrence OF
these storms towards the end OF the present
month, and in about the same localities-if not
slightly further nOrthward along the coast. 1t
would be well TO take precautions against dam
age by such storms In those places where they oc-
CURED last season, as well as along the New Jer-
Sey coast The entry OF September is likely to be
accompanied by severe disturbances in many
parts OF the north and south Atlantic states.

LONG BRANCH, August 1S-Ihe tariff commission
at its morning session gave hearing 10 j. .Dymond,
OF New Orleans, representing the louisiana sugar
interest. He urged that the present minimum
rate Of duty on the low classed sugars should not
be diminished, the protection thus afforded being
less than the difference between the cost OF the
free labor of Louisiana and the slave labor OF
Cuba. II the duty were to be diminished then
foreign markets be opened to them for the
machinery, coal, etc, used by them in their bust
ness. The commission also heard the suggestions
OF three New York custom house officers as TO the
changes desirable in the sugar and cotton tariff
provision.
