REMARKS,
AS the C|,lonial Council is aware, COM
plants have often been made concerning the
stone wharfat Frederiksted, partly because
with certain winds and currents sand is
accumulated against it to such an extent that
it cannot be used, and partly because the
pillows striking against lis abruptly termi-
mated front made it difficult for lighters to
lie alongside.
To remedy in some measure these defects
a small wooden pier was erected in front of
the stone wharf; Ibis pieI has been used, but
being intended to be only a temporary make.
shift it is very fraiIly built, and it is more
over insuticicnl for the traffic. at any rate in
the export season. The result has been that
the molasses wharf has been largely used
for the shipping Of sugar.

Il OhfIHHed Prom ACtG NO. ~
1st Member Tor ChristianAteI (Canegata)
would beg 70 make some remarks in connec-
ton with Money Bill y. AS regards The
Fire Engines for use in Christinnsted it
appeared to him to be urgently necessary
either to get other more suitable engines or
to have those old ones repaired or looked
after. As II is NOW, tive state of things is
most deplorhble, and III the event Of Il fire IN
this town, we would DO placed in n V ny sad
condition; for when the Eilc Engine did M
rive Oh the spot it would be found that not
one single engine in the Brand Depot is able
to throw water 6 feet high, consequently not
sufficient TO reach the roof Of even the small
Ter houses. 1t seems to be high time that
some attention should he given 10 this matter;
us we are now, we are in the greatest danger
lnp ginable; for we would be entirely unable
with the means at hand to meet anything
like a fire in any of the wooden houses, Of
which the town mostly consists. Much might
be- avoided, by attending to this III time.
lAt Member for ChriStiansted's Country
District (St0kemann) could second that pro-
osaI. He believed that not one single good
engine would be found in the whole lot. 1t
is bad enough that the engines in case of II
fire always arrive too late on the spot, either
because the key can't be found,o or because the
man with the key is out; but then they
would be Of no good, in fact if it we've not
Tor the women, who 0Ie always ready and
active in fires, we could do nothing what

money wasted But then mere is tins other

in case Of q serious fire. OF course there is
no amendment on the Money Bill to that
effect, but as the matter has been brought up
IT certainly deserves to be taken uud der con
Siderotion; a great boon it would be to have
some good powerful fire engines.
No one else requested the word.
The Money Bills XVI. were put to
vote ell bloc and adopted with II votes.
The Chairman next placed Money Bill
vi with amendments under discussion.
1t reads as follows:

TEACHERS TAKE THE TRAINS
Educational Delegate. Leave for
Their Homes.

Tbelf Homes.
Washington today is being depopulated
Of its sightseers by the departure Of the
thousands of teachers who have been at
tendinig the sessions of the National
Educational Association.
Every outgoing train takes hundreds of
the visitors to their homes In every part
of the country. and. with the departure
of local residents for the seashore and
mountains, the railroad officials find
themselves busy.
The countenances of the departing
teachers are bright and happy. Almost
every one of them speaks glowingly of
the beauties OF the Capital City and the
hospitality OF its citizens.
Many of them were sorry that they
could not remain longer. for. being eager
10 learn, and there being SO many things
here that could be learned. and In turn
impaired to the school children of the
country. they were loath to leave.
A number of the teachers. more fortu-
nate than their brethren. are still In the
city. and will continue to visit the va
rious points of interest until the time
limit on their tickets expires.
During their stay here the teachers
were a merry addition to the crowds on
the streets In the hotel corridors and
in the public buildings.
On the whole they were the happiest lot
of sightseers that ever visited the city.
Cognizant of the desire of the teachers
to gather all that would be of value 10
them in teaching the boys and girls of
America, the messengers and watchmen
of the Federal buildings went out of their
way TO point out interesting objects and
historical features.

to CCnttI ne the Struggle.
Madrid, July l4-Among the most diff
ficult problems facing the present gov
ernment. which individually and collect
lively desires peace. is dispatch from
Captain General Blanco. who affirms that
the spirit of the people of Cuba renders
the proposition of the cessation of hostil-
tiles impossible.
The government, If 1t can be so called.
when all the members have their resig-
nations in allegiance. is in a quandary as
to peace propositions.
The public has declared IL would mean
a Carlist rising.
The prolongation of the war means the
bombardment of Cadiz.
Such are the words of a responsible
statesman
One of the leading generals yesterday
said. in speaking of the Carlist ques-
tion-which is serious one OF moment:
"A Carlist insurrection would be of the
creates. benefit to the regency. as 1t
would concentrate all the liberal elements
around the throne"
The government has taken ample meas
ures against the Carlists. should 1t de-
eide upon peace. There Is now good rea-
son to suppose no internal dissensions
will be strong enough to alter the course
chosen. The government has telegraphed
to Montero Rios. president Of the senate.
to come at once to Madrid. The signifi-
canoe of this lies in the fact that Rios
is a stanch partisan of peace.

From the Cirrus Clouds.
The phenomenon of snowfakes in mid
summer was witnessed by attendants at
the ball game yesterday afternoon Sew
eral hundred persons vouch for the fact.
II was near the close of the game that
snow was seen.
The wind, which was laden with moist
ure and rain. was blowing gale from
the northeast. Suddenly the atmosphere
became cooler and flakes of snow were
waited downward into the faces of the
spectators.
No record of the phenomenon was made
at the Weather Burean. but 1t was ad-
mitted there that in these days of strange
and curious atmospheric conditions a
Hurry of snow is possible e
The temperature this month has been
Tar below the average for midsummer
The lowest recorded last week was Sc
degrees.
The lowest midsummer temperature
ever recorded in Washington was SO de-
grees. on July and July %, 1890 In July,
1874. the lowest was 81 degrees. This is
not cold enough for snow ordinarily, but
heavy gale from the upper atmosphere
IN the northeast. as was the case yester-
day. could easily bring down snow.
The high white fieecy Clouds known as
cirrus clouds. and which are seen almost
daily during Summer are merely frozen
vapor. and even in Jny flakes of snow
may be formed from them and waited to
the earth
The primary cause of the present cool
nes,sts high pressure which is centered
In the Northwest. and which forces the
cool air from that region across the coun-
Try In southwesterly direction. The air
Is SO dense in those regions of high press
ure that the cold air must find an outlet
somewhere on one of the low-pressure

England and Atlantic coasts today and
tonight. These gales may do great dam

The forecast at the Weather Bureau to-
day is that the prospects are for rain to-
night and tomorrow.
