across the lake region and north Allan
tic coast, the weather bureau has
adopted special signal called the hur-
risaue signal, consisting of two red
flags with black centers, displayed one
above the other. This signal will be
displayed at all weather buresu offices
and wind signal display stations on the
Atlantic and gulf coasts and the great
lakes, and also at numerous other points
at sea and lake ports and along the
coasts mentioned.
In q number of instances arrange
ments have been made with steamship
and steamboat lines to display this sig
nal on their vessels, and to this end ar
engagements have been made in many OF
the most exposed and thickly settled OF
these localities whereby tugs. pilot
boats, revenue cutters, or other steam
vessels will pass through the waters in
the vicinity displaying the hurricane
signal by day and firing rockets by
night, and blowing whistles to attract
attention thereto. All residents In the
localities referred to are enjoined to BIZ
especially alert during the hurricane
season, and particularly whenever the
weather is threatening, to note the sig
mails when given; and it Is hoped tina

THE INTERNATIONAL FARCE.

A while az there was great effor,
on the part OF the strikers of the admin.
istration to lead the people to believe
thst an international conference was O
matter OF only few months. and that
such conference would be followed by
an international agreement restoring
silver as part OF the standing money
OF the world.
Just at present, both the ad ministra-
tion strikers and their friends in Wall
street are doing all they can to dissipate
and counterfeit the views to which they
gave currency few months ago. Some
of the Treasury officials have recently
been in England consortfng and eau
cusing with the Rothschilds and they
return with the stale information that
the project OF international bimetallism
has been practically abandoned in
Europe.
This Is thought OF sufficient import.
