The prospect for annexation looks
will not pass, but Gar Reed has stat
ed that he will not oppose the joint
bill. and in consequence the matter
will be taken up Immediately, and if
everything runs along smoothly it
should pass both houses inside of

will be taken up first, but guess our
friends in Congress will be able to
kill it, and then their should be no

SYNOPSIS OF THE WEATHER.
1t is curious that the maximum temper
allure yesterday was just the same from
North Carolina to Florida, not exceeding
SO in most of the South Atlantic States;
but from Washington northward to Phil
adelphia and westward to st. Louis and
Marquette a maximum of "a was record
ed and the highest tempera lures were a.
tanned in Nebraska North Platte 9Sl
and Minnesota (St. Paul, 96.) The Bat
rometer is very low in the west and clear
hot Gather prevails everywhere.
Light showers occurred in the Southern
States, but the amounts were all small.
AS the barometer is highest over South
Atlantic States the fair weather condi-
tons are likely to prevail for some time,
but it is to be hoped that the temperatur'
will not reach the same degree as was
recorded in September, 1895, nearly -
degrees as late as the 23rd.
