"what the matter with the weather.
Such in effect Is the question that has
been coming to all the signal Offices east
cf the Rocky mountains, and to hydro
graphic bureau and local scientists In
many sections OF the United States. And
with the question have come statements
that would be sipply incredible IL not at
tested by clouds Of witnesses
OF flowers blooming 10 open air, "greens"
gathered from the garden on New Year's
day, cotton blooming on ''St Jackson's
day" green pastures and sultry nights
as far north as latitude 80 deg, and no
ice flt to cut within 600 miles of New
York;
New Orleans and Charleston, perhaps,
present the most extraordinary figures
official, too, being those taken at the
signal stations. On the 11th Of January
the official Thermometer at New Orleans
registered 82 deg. in the shade, and for
thirty-fou days IL has only once or
twice been below 70 deg. at noon. In
November there were a few pleasantly
cool days, but since the list Of December
every day has been hot and dry. The
hottest winter previously known aver
aged seven degrees cooler, and the aver
age is much cooler than that. At Ham

" tine great irrigassUn system lgseit
brought on q natural rainfall, which has
continued at intervals ever since. The
irrigation company has conferred q great
boon upon the neighborhccd, but IL re-
ceives only thanks for its pay.
The annexed map illustrates the won
derful change in the once "far west"
and arid belt. OF course the sergeant's
theory d NOS now capable Of proof, but
the fact Of very great change In the
climate Of the far west II notorious.
When the Mormons located Ia Salt Lake
valley Il was rare for drop Of rain 10
fall between May and October; now there
is rarely 1 rAonth without rain, and In
midsummer there ere often heavy storms
with violent electrical phenomena. The
storms produced in the new western lab
oratory, adds tho sergeant, while not OF
great extent and duration, arc, most Of
them, OF unusual violence. They travel
with marvellous rapidity, with speed,
in fact, that Il almost unprecedented.
Several the present season have swept
across the country TO the sea in from
thirty-six to forty-eight hours Every
one OF them has passed far enough north
OF New York TO bc without local effect,
except in causing brisk southeast TO
southwest winds. Much damage and
loss of life on the great lakes would have
been caused n the navigation season had
not closed. The last Of these, the great
storm Of Jan. IS, originated in the very
,center Of the irrigated region, swept east
ward over Kansas, and then northeast
and down the st. Lawrence.
Gen. Grcely. chief Of the signal serv-
ice, does not believe tho change is per-
manent. He impartiaIly rejects all the
theories offered, and says, very truly-at
any rate very safely-that scientific men
l,aye as yet no data sufficient to explain
such tremendous changes. There is In
the popular mind tendency to believe
that the unusual has never happened be.
fore. or that it has never been so marked,
while, in fact, warm winters have oc.
CURED ut irregular intervals through all
recorded time. 1t is certain that storms
are going east this winter along line
two or three hundred miles north of the
usual one, and that northward "suck"
Is thereby created of warm ocean winds;
but beyond proving the fact the chief
declines to he responsible for the weather.
II isn't too late yet, however. Some Of
the coldest "snaps" the country ever sui.
fered have come in February; but un.
fortunately they are, rs q rule, very
brief, and the result is only sleet and
snow. So where il our ice to come from,
next summer? Icemen say that the
nearest present supply is 500 miles north
of New York, but New Orleans humor.
o,,sly offers to supply the northern cities.

He Was p.id to Play and Played.

A long while ago a comic opera called "Pip
pins" was produced at John Stetson's theatre
In Boston. A young man was hired to go on
the stage In white fur and caper around and
miaouw like cat for some ten minutes The
first night the cat act did not seem to please
the audience, and Stetson ordered 1t done
away with. The young man demanded q
weeks salary, however, saying that he had
been engaged for q full week.
"Very WE'LL" said Stetson, 'come around
every night, then, and earn it,"
The young man appeared the next night
and stayed through the performance without
being called upon to go on. After it was
over he turned to 60, but Stetson stopped
him.
"Get into your costume and give your per
formance," said the manager.
"But the performance is over"
'Never mind the rest OF the show; I'm
paying you to act your part and you've got
to do it."
And every night for the rest Of the week
the young man had to caper and miaouw foI
ten minutes with Stetson for sole auditor OF

ordered to watch him, looking on and guy

National Refarmer..

CHICAGO, Jan. 2l.-Under the
authority given at the National
Reform conference, last November
a call was issued today for ''union
organizing convention Of refonners
from all parties" to be held in st.
Louis September 3rd. The purpose
stated in the c. Is to appoint a
national executive CO. -mittee, whose
duty il shall be to place in the field
in 1892 a "reform" party in all the
states and territories. The idea is
to bring about, if possible, pooling
of issues by the PrOhibitionists,
Union Labor, Greenbackers,
knights Of labor, Farmers ALI
ance and industrial union organiza-
tions. The committee suggests the
placing Of a plank in the party plat
form favoring provision Of law
under which people may vote
periodically upon doctrines and
policies without the intervention OF
parties or candidates, the results OF
these elections to be considered as
instructions to the legislative SER
wants Of the people.

Prize Fight, Colorado.

denver, Jan. 2l.-Four hundred
sports took a special train at noon
today and went outside Arapahoe
County to witness a fight between
Ed Smith, of Denver, and kessler,
of Montana. The mill was more an
exhibition of blood than of science.
The men were evenly matched. but
were either afraid Of each other or
did not want to fight, and from the
beginning to the end the referee was
kept busy pulling the men apart in
his endeavors to keep them from
breaking the rules. In so doing he
was besmeared with blood and had
his clothes nearly torn Off OF him.
The fighters slashed at each other,
regardless Of all rules, until each was
covered with blood.
At the beginning Of the seventh
round the friends Of the principals
began to quarrel, the ropes were
broken down and the fight became
general, everybody hammering
right and left, regardless Of whom
he struck. William Masterson, who
was present, seeing that serious
trouble would result If something
were not promptly done, jumped
into the ring and hurried Kessler
into a car, where he locked him up.
He then treated Smith likewise and
the affair broke up.

on FARM MORTGAGES.

Hall, chairman Of the census
committee, stated there was no hos
tility on the part OF the committee
10 the proposed inquiry, but in every
suggestion TO enlarge the scope OF
the census committee was con-
frOnted with the danger OF putting
in such new WORK as would delay
the census, and instead Of the CEN
sus being a clear, distinct and
swiftly-taken one, it would run over
years and years, and the committee
was desirious to prevent that. Hale
stated that a great and valuable
body Of substantial information on
the subject was now being obtained
by the superintendent Of census.
Reagan argued in favor Of the
bill.
Vest spoke of the abnormal depres-
sion Of the agricultural interests of
the country, evidenced by the fact
that corn is bringing now to its pro-
ducers in Missouri and Kansas only
from thirteen 70 fourteen cents per
bushel, and wheat from forty TO fifty
cents, while coal cost them twenty
nine cents per bushel. The farming
community had a conviction that
legislation was largely responsible
for the existing depression. He was
authorized to make a statement that
the superintendent had written a
letter to his colleague Cockrelll that
THE CENSUS SUPERVISORS
would belong 10 the Republican
party and that preference would be
given them in every instance. IN
der that state OF the case who could
blame him if he asked that Congress
should make it mandatory on the
superintendent TO give the infOrma-
ton which the bill required. He
was not willing to trust to the dis
erection or justice Of the superintend-
ent OF census a duty which ought to
kn,rS;,.ss,f -.fal- asd honestly nar-
opOOner said he believed Porter
eminently adapted for the discharge
Of the duties OF his position. He
went on to argue that mortgages
were not always signals Of distress.
rhey often indicated energy and
vigOr and ambition and a desire to
obtain more property. Finally, after
further discussion, the bill went
over without action till tomorrow.
The Senate then passed the Senate
bill granting to the State Of Cali
fornia 5 per cent Of the net proceeds
OF the cash sales Of public lands in
that State.
The Senate joint resolution, grant
ing authority for the removal Of the
Apache Indians and their families
from Alabama to Fort sill, Indian
Territory, was passed.
After executive session, the Senate
