Secretary Morton Talks.

New York, July 1.-The World to-
morrow will say: j. Sterling Morton,
secretary of agriculture, arrived in
the city yesterday morning. Speaking
of the weather bureau changes he
said: I'VE don't want scientific de-
auctions. We want forecasts. This
new man won his promotion by a
good record as a forecaster. He was
brought up in the service from boy
hood. He was chosen on the day that
Howeate, former chief was SEN
fenced to prison. Twenty years be-
fore to a day Willis Moore was con-
fined in the guard house by order of
Howgate for refusing to endorse some
dishonest reports of the then chief
We might call it retributive justice.
There has been a great deal of
talk about politics in the appointment
of Moore. L never asked him his
politics until after he was sworn in.
He was chosen because he can fore
cast the weather. He has a system of
his own which he explained to me
privately. 1t is little short of
wonderful and 1 suggested that as
he was now at the top he could afford
to give the other boys in the service
the benefit of his secret, and he has
promised to do so.''

PROF. MOORE ASSUMES THE d.
TIES OF HIS OFFICE.
He Outlines His Policy to an Assoc
ciatea Press Representative
Civil Service Rules to Govern.

Washington, July s. Professor
Moore, of Chicago, the newly appointed
chief of the weather bureau, took
charge of his new office today
Professor Moore's policy in directing
the work of the weather bureau was
outlined in an interview with the Asso-
ciated Press today. The principal aim
of the bureau will be to concentrate
the work on forecasts. Processes
Moore is an expert in this line and
will make every effort to increase the
accuracy of the predictions.
This" he explained, will be &C
complished by the most rigid adher-
ence to the merit principles which have
prevailed throughout Secretary Nor
toms administration of the depart
ment. Every man will be assigned TO
duties governed by his competency and
every recommendation to me will be
based on civil service principles. The
service is now in its embryotic state
and general application of practical
principles will tend toward material
Improvement. We cannot predict just
when rains will occur always, but
there is no excuse for failing to fore
cast severe changes in the weather
and remarkable atmospheric disturb
ances. Forecasting severe weather
changes 1 conceive to be the object of
the office, and in this direction the
work will be broadened and steadily
improved. Forecasts should be made
of severe storms, cold waves or re-
markable atmospheric changes at least
twelve hours in advance, and one such
forecast pays sometimes more than the
actual entire cost of the office up to
date"

WALTERS CASE.
HE is ILL AND WITHOUT MEDICINE
OR SUPPLIES.
State Department Not at All Pleased
With the Actions of the French
Government.

Washington, July, 5-Ex-Consul
Waller, who is in prison near Mar
settles. France, is i'll and without
medical supplies and the state de-
partment of this government has been
asked to interfere in his behalf to the
extent of either providing him with
the necessary supplies or asking the
government of France to do so.
The news of Mr.. Walters illness
was brought to this country through
a letter to his stepson, Paul H. Bray
who was deported from Madagascar
at the same time THAI Mr. Waller was
sent out under arrest by the French
government, and it is the first word
that has been received from Waller
by his son since he was separated
from him at Tamatave.
Mr. Bray took the letter to Acting
Secretary of State Uhl who telegraph
ed Mr.. Eustis, instructing him to give
immediate attention to Mr.. Walters
representations and to make careful
inquiry to the facts in the case.
1t is understood that the state de-
partment is not pleased with the ap-
parent delay on the part of the
French government in giving atten-
ton to the request made by this
country for full record OF the pro
ceedings in the Waller case and that
Mr.. Eustis has been instructed to call
the attention of the French authori-
ties to the delay and to request a
prompt response to our request.
Bray is also much concerned about
his mother, from whom he has re-
ceived no word since he left NADIA
gascar. notwithstanding he has sent
numerous letters to her. Many of
these letters have been sent under
cover to other persons and their
identity carefully concealed, but he
has received no word in reply, so that
he is unable to determine whether
both his own letters and those OF his
mother have been intercepted or only
her letters to him. In the former con-
tingency she is as ignorant OF his
whereabouts as he is of her condition.

New York. July 5.-Leaders of the
Cuban revolutionary party in all parts
of this country are f1ocking TO New
York to consult with the managers
OF the revolution here. Several have
already come this week from Phila-
delphias Key West and Tampa, and
more are expected soon. Their prlnci-
pal object is TO see Tomas Estrada
Palma, whom CubanS everywhere
recognize as their president by virtue
of his having been the duly elected
head Of the republic OF Cuba at the
time of tts fall in the collapse of the
revolution of 1S6s-7S.
Among those now here are Colonel
Emilio Netnez, president of the Con-
federated clubs, of Philadelphia; Dr.
Juan Guteras, who is equally active
in the cause of that city; Enrique and
Tomas Collage, veterans of the last
attempt at independence from Key
West; and General Francisco Garlic,
of Tampa. Since their arrival here they
nave announced their preference for
Estrada Palma as Jose Marti's sue
cessor. saying that they have come TO
New York not only to consult with him
in matters in general relating to the
revolution, but also in the event of any
reluctance on his part to endeavor to
prevail upon him to be a candidate
for the actual leadership of the revo-
luton.

Fate of FiIibusterinE Cuban
Schooner.

Fate of FiIibusterinE Cuban
Schooner.
New York, July 5.-A special to the
Herald from Santiago de Cuba says:
It is reported here that a small Cuban
expedition from Jamaica, while at
tempting to land on the coast west of
Santiago recently, was so closely pur-
sued by a Spanish warship as to be
compelled to beach and burn their
schooner, with the bulk of the NUM-
lions aboard to avoid capture. The
men, however, all escaped.
Twenty-Five young Cubans, includ-
ing the sons Of several leading mer-
chants. succeeded in breaking through
the Spanish picket lines and joining
the rebel forces.
Private advices from insurgent
sources report that Captain Garrido,
chief Of the Spanish volunteers of
Yateras, was killed in a recent engage
ment. The news is not officially con-
frmed.
The Garrido estate La Guiana was
burned by rebel guerrillas and 16
Spanish laborerS upon the place were
killed in the attack. According to
Spanish accounts these men offered no
armed resistance, and were virtually
maSsacred by the Cubans, who turned
"a deaf ear to the most pitiful appeals
for mercy.

COAST INVESTMENTS.

San Francisco, July 5-Two big
eastern financial houses with many
millions of capital to invest, have de-
cided upon a step that means a good
deal for California. Coler and COM
pany, bankers of New York, and the
North American Trust and Loan com
pany of Chicago will take the bonds
of the Poso and Turlock irrigation dis
tricts-until now almost worthless
and will at once supply funds in such
quantity that the work on both sys-
TENS can be pushed to completion.
1t is said that all of the canals.
bitches and dams will be finished
within ninety days. Mr.. Hole has also
agreed to take nearly all of the re-
manning bonds of the Turlock district.
Work on this system will begin on the
10Th of this month and it is estimated
that 1T will be finished by next April.
This means that great areas of rich
soil, whose only need is water to make
them as fertile as any in the world,
will now be turned into good fields and
orchards.

Washington, July 5.-Senor Dupuy
de LONE, the Spanish minister, says
Spain will take part in the next in
ternational monetary conference, as
she is greatly interested in the solu-
ton of the biuetallic question. Spain
uses both gold and silver, the latter
being coined at fixed ratio with
gold, and there is also an issue of
paper currency. Only two of the
Spanish colonies, Porto Rico and the
PHILIPPINE islands. use silver almost
exclusively For these reasons Spain
polic-- is definitely favorable towards
the use OF both metals and her inter-
ests, particularly in the colonies are
toward an enlarged use of silver.
The belief is expressed by some of
the best posted representatives. for
foreign countries that an international
money conference agreement should
eTnlbody certain essential features. To
assure its power it must secure the
adherence of the United States and of
at least one of the three great money
centres of Europe, Great Britain,
France or Germany, and the adher-
ence OF as many lesser countries as
possible. 1t should also include that
feature of tine latin union whereby the
amount of silver to be coined by each
member Of the union is definitely fixed
In advance, in accordance with its
needs. The opinion is expressed that
these features would tend to make an
international agreement very effec-
tive and dominant on the monetarS
conditions of the world

IMPORTs OF sUGAR.

Washington. July 5.-Worthington G
Ford, chief of the bureau of statlsticsS
has returns on the imports of sugar at
all the leading ports of the United
States receiving that article. The re-
turns from San Francisco are not yet
in, but they will not materially modify
the question Of duties, as nearly all
sugar coming through San Francisco is
of Hawaiian origin, and therefore en-
tered free of duty. The six ports give
a total importation of 800, 567, 945 pounds
valued at $6,S51 ,055. The importation
is, therefore, much less than in the
month of May, which is much less in
quantity than the imports made in
June, 1894, and only about One-half in
value

IMPORTANT TEST.
structiOn of the New Battle
ships.


Washington. July 5.-A very important
test has been made recently at Indian
Head which will have a bearing on the
construction of the two new battleships
over which there has been so much con-
tention. The test was made under the
direction of Captain Sampson, of the
ordnance bureau, and he has submitted
a report of his findings to Secretary Her
bert, who is now considering the naval
plans of the battleships. The bureau
chiefs of the construction bureau differ
radically on several features, one of the
most essential being as to the double
stored turrets endorsed by the bureau
chiefs, or single-storied turrets, one in
front for the heavy guns, and the other
elevated and just in the rear, and con-
tanning eight-lnch guns, which is the
plan of the construction bureau. 1t was
claimed by the chief of the ordnance bu-
reau that the eight-inch guns would be
rendered useless in an engagement in
which the vessel had her bow or stern to-
the turret containing the large guns, the
blast from the rear guns would kill the
men in the other tower.
Captain Sampson ordered the test made
by having an eight-inch gun fired over
an inch steel plate, the thickness of the
plate designed to cover the sighting
tower. The muzzle of the gun was "a
inches above the plate and the first
charge bent the plate down in the CEN
ter four inches, while a strong charge
still further dented the plate eight inches
on one end and nine inches on the other.
The plate was about five by four and a
half feet and the supports were equal to
those which could be placed on the ship.
This has caused the officers of the ord
nance bureau to renew their assertion
that the concuSioSn of the eight-inch gun
would kill the men at work in the upper
portion of the turret, and they point to
it as proof of their views in reports SUBJ
mitted to the secretary of the navy.
This test adds another feature of per-
plexity to the plan of the battleships
which is giving the department consid-
erabls trouble

TO REPAIR THE PHILADELPHIA.

San Francisco, July 5.-The United
States warship philadelphia today
steamed to Vallejo, where she will
undergo repairs. At present the
steamer Hartford occupies the Mare
island dry dock, where she is receiving
a new bottom, and it will probably be
some time before the Philadelphia will
be able to receive attention. A rumor
has been circulated to the effect that
the secretary of the navy was nego-
tiating with the Union Iron works with
a view of having her repaired at its
yards, but Irving NJ. Scott stated that
there was no foundation for the story
so far as he knew.

RRIRING THE STRIKERS.

Jeffersonville, Ind, July 5.-The Ital-
ian laborers at Rockport, Ind, are still
rioting and early this morning were
piling brush under the bridges and
trestles to burn them. Father Brundt,
of St Henry's, has partially quieted
them by promising them transporta-
ton to Chicago, and the citizens have
petitioned the county commissioners
to make an allowance of $500, the
amount necessary to transport them.
The sheriff and citizen deputies are
still on guard, ready to fire at any
moment. Should the county refuse
them transportation serious trouble is
sure to follow.
