The three Major-Generals of the Army are
Generals Schoield, Howard, and Miles. The
first, as Senior and Acting Commander-in-C Chief,
has his Headquarters at Washington; the Sec
ond at Governors Island, New York harbor;
and General Miles, the crack Indian fighter, at
Chicago General Howard has charge of what
are known as the Military Division of the
Atlantic" and the Department of the East, "
which includes all States east of the Mississippi
except Illinois; it also includes Louisiana.
The Army consists of 10 cavalry regiments,
five artillery, % infantry, an engineer bat
talon, recruiting parties Indian scouts the
West Point Academy, signal corps and the
hospital service. It's total strength is about
1880 men, divided approximately as follows {:
Cavalry, $500; artillery, 1000; infantry, 49,
600; the West Point Academy, 500; enineer
force 400; the special services. 5000 These
are occupied in garrisoning the various forts,
arsenals and supply stations in the country,
and in overrawing turbulent Indians. Scarcely

The Foraker and the Sherman men in the
Ohio Legislature have at last agreed on bill to
redistrict the State. The Sherman men two
months ago introduced and had passed in the
Senate by strict party vote such bill before
the Foraker Republicans knew what they had
been drawn into, for they found that the bill
arranged the districts that the leaders of the
Sherman side of the party were provided with
strong Republican districts in which they could
easily secure nomination.
The Foraker people objected, and when the
bill reached the House. they refused to go into
caucus to consider the measure, as they were in
the minority. The struggle has lasted a long
time, but last Friday the Sherman men con-
sented that an entirely new bill should be
drawn. In the new bill, which was prepared
by committee composed of McGrew. Griffin,
Strock, Strehl, and James, all Foraker men,
and Taylor of Champaign, Hocomb, Hcinlein,
Haskell, and Doty, who voted for Sherman.
While the committee is equally divided be-
tween the two factions, the Foraker men seem
to have the better of it, for the reason that
McGrew and Griffin are the leaders of the For
aker faction, and two of the ablest men in the
House. The Sherman members of the COM
mittee are young men with no particular
ability.

A census bulletin shows the total acres of
land devoted to the cultivation of hemp in TIL o
United States in 1889 to have been 25,034 acres,
and the production of fiber Il ,511 tons, valued
at 81, 1O2,602. The average yield per acre is L.
029 pounds. and the average value per acre
$44O1, or $3.50 per ton. Kentucky produced
9377 per cent. of the total hemp crop of the
country. Illinois produced 4.s3 per cent. and
the remaining six States from which hemp was
reported had an aggregate yield Of only l6l
tons.
Although the crop of 1889 was more than
donble that of 1879 hemp production is re-
garded by those engaged in it as declining
industry, condition which they attribute to
foreign competition and to some extent to their
own lack of improved machinery for breaking
and cleaning the fiber.

FOSTERS WEATHER FORECASTS.
A Few Predictions-Explana of a storm
Wave" G 1,s.
BY ". T. FOSTER.
rcoPYRIGHT. 1921

TcopYRIGHT. 1921
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, March II.
NY last letter gave forecasts of the storm
waves due to cross the continent from March
5th to 10th and II til to 10TH and the cool waves
from Sth to 10Th and 14th to 18th.
The next storm wave will be due to reach
the Pacific coast about the 10th, cross the
western mountains by the close of the 18th,
the great central valleys from 18th to 10th,
and the Eastern States 2lst to 22d. This will
be disturbance of more than ordinary force
throughout its journey across the continent !;
but it is not expected 10 be as fierce storm as
that of the 18th, and storms Of greater force
will prevail both on the Pacific and Atlantic
coasts on March %.
The Mississippi valleys greatest storm of the
month will be near the 18th, while the most
severe on the coasts will be about the 2Sth.
The cool wave following the storm will cross
the western mountains about the 18th, the
central valleys about the 2lst, and the Eastern
States about the 23d.
Readers are so forgetful, that it is necessary
to dwell upon some of the most important fea.
lures of weather changes. Entirely too many
readers, who are much interested in the
weather, misunderstood what is meant when l
specify the date which 4 storm wave is due.
Nothing but the tariff aud silver discussions
can be more generally misunderstood than the
for me to avoid using it. No other term will
supply its place, and therefore, in order to UNI
derstand my forecasts, the reader must under
stand what is meant by storm wave"
1t does not necessarily imply storm, or rain.
or snow, or hail, or wind but it may include
all of these. 1t does, however, almost univer-
sally imply wind from the east, warmer
weather, wind changing to west and cooler, in
rotation as stated. The storm wave may pass
centrally over any point and still the weather
remain clear throughout, but tho warm wave,
change of wind and cool wave are sure to ac-
company almost every such storm wave.
If the storm wave passes by to the north, the
wind will change from cast by way of the
south to the west, and the cool wave following
it will not bring very great fall in the temper
ature. If the storm wave moves by to the
SOUTH the wind will change from east to west
by way of the north, and cold wave with low
temperature will follow.
When the conditions are favorable to rain,
the low barometer of the storm wave fills up
with clouds, except in its center, which is usu-
ally very warm and partly cloudy or clear
When expect rain, snow, wind or storm,
/ say so in plain terms, but when only the
term storm wave is used, it does not portend
any unusual event.

A private soldier had knocked down his Cap

to the Dry Tortugas. His friends bestirred
themselves in his behalf, and prevailed upon
Judge Schofeld. a personal friend of President
Lincoln, to ntercede in his behalf. Lincoln
paid close attention to all that Schofeld had to
offer, and said: Il tell you, Judge, you go
right down to the Capitol, and get Congress to
pass an act authorizing private soldier to
knock down his Captain. Then come back
here, and will pardon your man." The Judge
saw the point, and withdrew with broad smile
