AFRAID OF A TUMBLE.
Work Upon the New Duquesne Thenter Has
to be Suspended.

to be Suspended.
Building Inspectors Hoffman and Brown have
stopped the excavating for the Duquesne
Theater in the basement OF the Jaekman build
ing. The walls are badly cracked. and had to
be braced to keep them from falling. The
cause Of the trouble was that when the Jack
man building was put up the foundations were
laid in trenches. When the excavation for the
new theater was commenced alongside the
cellar was cleared out deeper than the Jack
man building causing the latter to give way
on that side and in the rear. and making great
cracks in the walls. 1t is supposed that when
the excavation is made in the front, the front
of the building will weaken also, and the result
will be that the whole Jackman building will
have to be torn down.
Superintendent Beebe, who has the work in
charge. telegraphed to Philadelphia yesterday
for the architect of the building, and he is ex-
pected here to-day to arrange with the Build
ing Inspectors for the safe management Of the
balance of the work. The difficulty will delay
the completion of the new theater greatly.

THE question whether "'the automatic
working of the rules of the House of Repre-
sentatives makes filibustering in contested
election cases all wrong and flbustering
against the silver bill all right," is asked by the
Washington Post. In other words the point is,
whether parliamentary rules and constitutional
principles are for any purpose except to be
turned topsy-turvy at the will OF the managers
OF either party; and the practice of the politi-
clans replies decidedly that they are not

Cold Waves Upon the
Pacific Coast.
SIGNAL OFFICE, WAR DE- l
PARTMENT, WASHINGTON
CITY, March |, 1880.


TEMPERATURE.
The month of February has been
warmer than usual east of the
Rocky mountains, except In Mon
tana and Western Dakota, the excess
of the monthly mean temperature
ranging from 80 to 80 over the entire
country east Of the Mississippi, and
In the Southwest. 1t has been
slightly cooler than usual on the
Pacific coast, and from 90 to lOo
colder In Montana and Northwestern
Dakota. Although the mean
temperature of the month
was generally above the
normal over the eastern half
of the country, the month closed
with one of the coldest days of the
season over the greater portion of
the winter wheat region aud the
Gulf states. The freezing weather
which prevails this morning over
this region, taken I'm connecticut

vegetation, may result In some in
jury to crops, and especially to
the threatened districts of the ap-
proach of this cold wave, and frost
warnings Were issued to localities in
the Southern states where growing
crops We're likely To be injured.
AS IN previous months, the num-
ber of cold waves of general extent
and marked intensity have been
limited, only two having occurred,

tinues In excess in Northern and
Central California, Oregon and
Washington. The heavy rains in
the valley of the Ohio and its tribu-
tarles have been attended by de-
structlvo floods, and the water in
the lower Ohio aud Mississippi
rivers has probably not reached its
maximum height at this date.
There has been less rain than
usual throughout the south Atlantic
and Gulf states and generally
throughout the Northwest and
Southern New England.

generally bare in the states of the
Ohio valley, A. w. GREELY,
