of tie dates of the occurrence of three to
I've day periods of lowest mean temperature
at a number of stations in the Middle and
South Atlantic States, from New York city

The chances are as seven to one that the

Chairman Lodge, OF the House committee
on the election of President and Vice Presi.
dent called that committee together to hear
some Virginia negroes state their ideas rev.
speeding elections in their State. The ne.
croes were headed by A. w. Harris, Ross
Hamilton, Wilson, Evans and Corfigen, and
were escorted and prompted by Col. Brady
and Congressman Bowden. Harris read a
long statement, to the effect that IS out of
every hundred election judges 10 Virginia are
democrats and that great frauds were per-
petrated last fall by the purging of the reg
i~stration books. Representative Tucker, a
member of the committee, denied the first
statement ca personal knowledge of the
election machinery In his own district. and
in the others by the law of the State. which
provides that one at least Of the three judges
who preside st the polls shall belong to the
minority. Hamilton said the remedy was
federal supervision. Mr.. Tucker said the
Houk election bill was en- exact copy of the
Virginia law except that the election officers
ysrs appointed ia Washington instead of
Richmond. Wiis3n said negroes were treat-
q as we'll in Virginia as in Massachusetts,

c,lyed from reputable people that they COM

Congressman Flower, of New York, says
he is convinced that the legislature of his
State will appropriate ten million to the
Worlds Fair If held 10 New York, and that
Congress will select New York as the site of
that fair. He says some republicans are op.
posed to the holding of the fair in New
York pext year, but that they cannot be
supported by their party, as such opposition
would kill republicsnism In his State for
several years. At a meeting of the House
committee OF the Worlds Fair to-day, such
