In particular and for the commerce OF
the West Indies in general. The feet
of battleships and transports at SANTA
go is just now subject to great danger
from the hurricanes which sweep that
portion of the continent with great
fury during the summer season, ana II
has caused the President and the ofti-
cIals of the army and navy the deep
est concern. While the heavy battle
ships would undoubtedly manage to
ride through hurricane without dam
age 1t would he disastrous to the light
err vessels which compose the auxiliary
fleet and particularly the transports
that brought the army from Tampa
and still lie OFF the cost mt anchor load

retary Wilson has undertaken to min

observers at different points through
out the West India islands and on the
north coast Of Central and South
America, who will telegraph merning
and evening reports to the central Of
flee that will be established near San
tiago under the direction Of Observer
Stockman, who Is now ut Cleveland.
The hurricanes usually originate
among the Windward islands, although
they often come from the northwestern
part Of the Gulf of Mexico. They re-
volve with great rapldity and resemble
enormous whirlwinds. covering rn-
dIus of thirty miles wide and whirling
ut the rate OF 100 miles an hour. The
general movement Is regular, and
when the experienced sailor sees a hur
ricane coming, he generally can anti
cipate the course 1t IL going to tnke
and get out Of the way II he has fast
ship. The progress of hurricanes Is
usually slow. They make generally
from ten to fifteen miles IN hour, but
often less than 200 miles day. There
fore, the proposed observation service
ought to be able to give Admiral
Simpsons fleet ut least twenty-four
hours notice OF the approach Of a hur-
ricane from amy direction.
While the reports are intended pri-
marily for the Information OF the
American fleet, they will be publicly
posted In all the prominent harbors Of

GENERAL MERR,rr.s POWER.
He Can Do About as He Pieases In Ma-
nilA.


Washington, July 1.-No official of
the United States was ever intrustcd
with such autocrHtic powers ns have
been conferred upon General Merritt In
his capacity as governor general of the
Philippine Islands. He is to be an au-
tocrat and govern an absolute mon
archy. Under the colonial policy of
Spain the captain general OF the colo
ny has had supreme authority over his
department and has been responsible
only to the ministers nt Madrid. II
they chose to instruct him as to his
duties and the policy he should pursue
he was, Of course. compelled to obey,
because they could mt any time relieve
him from office. But they usually al
lowed him full sway, rs long Us he did
not interfere with their personal inter-
ests and provided lucrative positions
for their favorites who desired office.
General Merritt inherits the powers
of the captain general. md being q.
600 miles away will have no opportuni-
ty to ask instructions from Washing
ton concerning the various matters that
will constantly be arising In his admin
istrntion of affairs. 1t Is. therefore, Of
utmost Importance that he shall have
the assistance of the best men who can

and fill their places with officers from

As soon us General Merritt arrives
Admiral Dcweys control of affairs
ceases and he will be under Merritts
orders.
The task which has been assigned to
General Merritt will be no easy one,
Particularly that part Of II which must
impress upon semi-barbarous people

The Revising Session.

The Fortieth General Assembly
which meets next January will be the
most important legislative body that
Missouri has ever had. The entire
code of laws of the State will be re-
vised and re-enacted, United States
Senator will be elected and there will
be politics from start TO finish of the
session, for the next Gubernatorial con-
test will largely be shaped up and the
lines laid while the session is in pro-
gress. The work of revision is a big
job in itself. for there is mass of in
congruities and poor legislative work
to be Strengthened out. The State has
grown tremendously since the last re-
vision in 1899. Varied and important
interests have arisen since that time
that must be taken into consideration
in the revision next winter. The Sen
atorial succession will be easy work,
for there will be no one to contest with
Cockrell. This is not strange state
of affairs, for it has been conceded for
months that no man in Missouri could
defeat him. He is closer to the people
of Missouri than any of her other states
men, and will be returned to the Sen
ate for the fifth time without dissent
ing vote in the Democratic caucus.
The political side of the session will be
one of its most interesting features, for
the Democratic State ticket for 1900
will be practically fixed by the time
sine die adjournment is reached. The
session will be long one. The law
allows full pay to the members for 120
days during a revising session. This
means that the session will last from
130 to 40 days. Indications from diff
ferent parts of the State point to a bet
ter class of men coming to the Legisla
ture this time than has been the rule
for the last four or five sessions. This
is as it should be. for the best of legis-
lative talent is needed for the work of
revision.-J. c. Tribune.
