Hicks June Weather Pre-
dictions.

Renctionary weather conditions
will take place on and touching
the 9th and 10th. Barometer will
fall in the regular order, growing
warmer and ending in more storms
Of rain, wind, hail and thunder.
Friday the 10th, date of moons
passage of the equator, we name
as that on which the heaviest
storms Are probable. Look for
much brilliant lightning, frequent
ly all night long, in these solstice
disturbances. Let all know that
tho blazes of sheet lightning
which Commonly illuminates the
June skies at night are harmless.
But the vicious thunder storms
passing very near at this time are
different. Do not take shelter un-
der trees, or expose yourself at
open doors or windows at such
times. A regular storm period,
central on the 18th, will bring
lower barometer, warmer weather
and more rain and storminess
from about the 18th to 18th. A
Venus disturbance from this per-
iod, through the remainder Of
June, will be in force in connec-
ton with the summer solstice.
This fact will insure an unusual
amount Of electrical phenomena,
heavy hail storms in many sections
and excessive downpours of rain.

QUEBEC CONFERENCE.
Vital Interests of United States
Will Not be Sacrificed.

QUEBEC, Oct. 2.-During the past
twenty-four hours the American mem
bers of the International Commission
have received many teIesrams from
different parts Of the United States
and particularly Seattle, asking about
the cession of American territory to
give the Canadians freer access to the
Yukon River in Alaska
1t has been reported that the Cana
dian Commissioners were demanding
the cession of the territory from Yaku-
tat Bay to Dixons Entrance, including
the#cities of Skaguay and Dyea, thus
extending the Canadian boundary line
to the Pacific Ocean between the points
named, the cession being given in re-
turn for the surrender of all the Brit
ish rights to the seal fisheries of the
Behring Sea.
1t is quite possible that such a prop
osition has been made by the Canadian
Commissioners, but it is said that the
matter has not been considered by the
joint commission in a conclusive way,
and no proposition whatever has been
accepted
Views on both sides have been sub
mitted, but not adjusted, and a mem

mission now in session at Quebec, was

difficulties between the United States
and Canada were of a minor chayac-
ter, and he did not see why they should
not be easily adjusted.

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Natives Agreeably Surprised at the
Attitude of the Americans.

MANILA, Oct. 2-The National AS
sembly at Malolos at a recent sitting
voted Aguinaldo a civil list of $40 600,
but Aguinaldo declined to receive any
thing until the army should have been
paid. An attempt was made by Pal
erno, the Speaker of the House. to have
inserted clause granting him an al
lowance because of his office, but the
proposal was rejected. The Assembly
is now engaged in discussing the Con-
stitution.
The Spanish community is telegraph
ing to Madrid in an endeavor to Sc
cure the enforcement of the release of
prisoners. Personal Investigations
made in the provinces emphasize the
determination of the insurgents to OBJ
tain a specific guarantee of favorable
terms before releasing the prisoners
now in their hands, and it is certain
that they will never cheaply relinquish
their dearly bought conquests.
Everywhere is seen evidences of APP
palling struggles. Popular opinion ia
vors autonomy, which it is generally
expected will be established. The people
rather distrust the Americans. who,
beginning to realize this fact. sent the
cruiser Raleigh to the northwestern
ports for the purpose of showing the
American flag and making friends with
the natives. The cruisers officers en-
deavored to arrange an interchange of
hOspitalities. but the natives at first
were unwilling to visit the ship unless
hostages We're landed However, friend
ly feeling was established. and the ma
tives were agreeably surprised at the
American attitude.
A Sanitary Board, with Americans at
it's head, has been established here A
corps Of physicians are experimenting
sanitary work in all districts of the city
and vicinity.
