Disagresable Weather at Cape May Poin,

CAPE MAP POINT, N. j., July s.-The
President was disappointed In his first
ocean bath again this morning. A north
east storm set IN during the night, and to-
day o hard, steady. persistent rain was
falling and the air was cold and penetrat-

within doors. sending and receiving q few
kilograms and debating several letters to
his stenographer. This was all the busi-
ness the President transacted. after which
he spent the time till dinner in reading q
book.
Capt. B. Blake, of the revenue cutter
Hamilton. received sailing ord ers from the
Secretary of the Treasury. to-day. and will
leave Philadelphia at an early hour in the
morning for Cape May Point. where the
cutter will take aboard the President and
party to go on a fishing excursion. The
President has heard SO many stories of
wonderful sport afforded by the bluefish
In the deep-ses fishermen's paradise of
Anglesea that he has been anxious to try
his luck, and will leave tomorrow for that
place. The grounds where the President
will probably fish lie about eight or ten
miles to sea off the FIye-mile beach.

Republican Party and the Tariff.

4 ICo8@
The Republican party went before the
country last fall on the Mckinley bill. 1t
was overwhelmed by the most audacious
and malignant Misrepresentation from
which an American political party ever
suffered. Two Republican State conven-
tons have been held since that defeat.
The Republicans of Ohio unanimously
nominated for Governor the father of the
measure which caused the disaster to the
party. The other State COMMUNICATIONS
declares it's uncompromising allegiance
to the great principles of protection in
general. and the Mckinley bill in particu-
lar. These Inducements have an unmis-
taxable significance. Interpreted, they
mean that the Republican party has not
receded one step from it's historical posi-
ton on the tariff question:. that the party
will stand or fall by the Mckinley meas
ure. that the party has lost non of it's
aggressiveness by temporary reverses, and
that it will 90 before the people of this
country next year and ask for their YER
dict on the fruits of that bill which has
been under such a ceaseless fire of partisan
Misrepresentation. We have no fear of
the verdict. The peoples eyes have been
opened since November. 1890.

UpexpIored Australia.


Phlladelpnla Press.
Australia has O strip of territory lying
across it's centera and ending On the coast of
the Kimberly district of Western Australia
some 200 miles long and thirty wide. IL
is. in other words. about as big as the strip
on our map which would be made by eX-
tending Pennsylvania and Virginia west to
Nebraska. Ar expedition is just starting
from the upper or northern end of the
group of lakes In South Australia. where
this strip begins. and 1t is expected TO take
two years slowly passing over this unex-
plOred tract from the central portion OF
the northern territory of South Australia
across into the northern half of Western
Australia. of which but little is known
away from the coast. The expedition is
under the leadership of David Lindsay. an
old Australian explorer; it has fourteen
men and csmels, and il Is only 70 cost $780,
600. which seems an absurdly small sum for
SO large a party and so expensive a trip;
but. perhaps. like some other explorations,
this is only a first estimate, and the total
will reach thrice this.

WASHINGTON, July 8.-Colonel Dyren-
forth, of the Department of Agriculture,
with two assistants, left here to-day for
the interior of Texas. where he will make
further experiments In the feasibility of
producing rain in arid regions by explod-
ing balloons charged with oxygen and n.y.
drogen at o considerable height in the air.
Tests will also be made in exploding dyna-
mite attached to the tails of huge kites. in
connection with the theory that rain may
be produced by the conclusion of high ex-
plosives In midaIr. The dynamite is to be
exploded In the same manner as are the
ballOons-that is, by a slender wire leading
to the kites and connected with an electric
battery worked at the ground. Colonel
Dyrenforth will seek some sequestered spot
in Texas where they will not disturb any
one, and will then make q thorough and
exhaustive experiment as to whether or
not rain can be produced when needed by
mears of ex ploslves near the clouds.

ASSESSED $500.

For Violating Our Navigation Larvs the Itata
Will Pay the Full Limit Of Fines.
WASHINGTON. July 8-The Secretary of
the Treasury has authorized the acceptance
of the offer of the master of the Gillian
steamer Itata to pay $500 for violation of
our navigation laws in having cleared from
San Diego, Cal. without the necessary
permit. This is the full legal penalty for
such al ~offense, but its settlement has no
bearing on the other charges against the
officers of the vessel, tO-wit: kidnapping q
federal officer and violating the neutrality
laws. AS to the first of these charges-kid-
naping the marshal-it is not believed here
that it will lie as against an inan1mate OBJ
ject such as q vessel, although evidence on
that point might still have q certain value
In support of the third characterization of
the neutrality laws. 1t is understood here,
however, that the actions so far tried in
the case of the Robert and Minnie and that
prepared against the Itata apply only to
the vessels. The Attorney general is with
out official information of the trial. but
accepting the published reports as aocur-
ate, believes that actions may still be
brought against the individual officers of
the two vessels. SO that although the
officers of the Itata have compromised
their offense against the navigation laws
they may still be amenable to legal prose-
cution on the charge of kidnapping and also
of violating the neutrality laws.
