SEVERE STORM PREDICTED.
Promised Repetition of Last Nights Blow
and Rain.


Chicago, June 3--The following
special bulletin has been issued by
the weather bureau: Conditions are
favorable for severe local storms this
evening or tonight in Iowa, eastern
Nebraska, northeastern Kansas, north
ern Missouri, northwestern Illinois
and southwestern Wisconsin.
Another of those boisterous storms
which have been dropping into town
with such frequency that they have
ceased to be hailed with the glad
hand, swept over Rock Island last
night, but aside from leveling shrub
berry. knocking out telephones and
flooding cellars. no serious damage
has been heard of.
Observer SheIier says it was a
heavy thunderstorm - yes, indeed,
and heavy on the heavy, ut that.
Troublesome appearing clouds had
been circling over the city for nearly
an hour before the engagement began
in earnest. The thunder claps were
sharp and violent, and were attended
by plentitude of dampness. The
thOroughfares leading from the bluffs
low clay avalanches, and at many
points the curbs were overflOwed and
the water got into the cellars.
During the storm the street cars
were at a standstil for half hour, the
company shutting off the power so as
to lessen the attraction for the light
ming and prevent possible damage to
motors.
The police and fire alarm sys-
tenn was disabled, and Electrician
William Dickman is hustling today
trying to get it in shape again.
There was a rainfall of .65 of an
inch.
We may expect a repeater tonight,
according to bulletin that was re-
ceivcd today by Observer Shericr
from Prof. Cox, of Chicago, who
states that conditions are favorable
for severe local storms in this vicinity
during tonight. Mr.. Sherier said
nothing of cyclonic prospects.

ENGLAND QUYRS SAMOA
The Islands Now Belong to tho
United States and Germany.
SENATE MUST APPROVE PLAN.

Germany Takes the Islands Of Upola,
savaIi and Adjacent Islands, While
Our Government Secures Tutuiia
and Subsidiary Islands.
Berlin, Nov. 9.-It was ofiicially an
nounced yesterday that an agreement.
subject to the approval Of the United
States. had been arrived at between
Great Britain and Germany by virtue
Of which the Samoa act is repealed and
the islands Of Upolu. Savau and the
small adjacent islands fall to Germany
as free property. and the islands Of
Tutuila and the subsidiary islands go
to the United States. Great Britain re-
nounces any claim to the Samoan
islands and Germany. in turn, re-
nounces any claim to the Tonga
islands, and Germany, In turn, re-
of Great Britain and also cedes Choi-
soul and San Isabel, the two easterly
islands Of the Solomon group, with
their insular surroundings, to Great
Britain.
The consular representatives. of the
two powers in Samoa and the Tonga
islands are to be withdrawn for tho
present, and German subjects are to
have ths same rights az British sub
jects in regard to the free and IN
impsded enlistment Of native labOrers
in the whole Of the Solomon group in
the possession Of Great Britain, in
Guiding Choissul and San Isabel.
At the same time an arrangement
has been arrived at between the two
powers, by virtue Of which the So
called neutral zone In the Hinterland
Of German ToSeland and the British
gold coast will be divided in such q
manner that the boundary Of the Ger
man and British territories will be
formed by the Paka river up to point
where the latter cuts the ninth de-
gree OF latitude, thence north by line
to be fixed by mixed commission. To
this IL appended O reservation that the
countries Of Mamprusi and Gambasa
shall fall to Great Britain and the
countries of Yeudi and Chakosi to
Germany. Germany has also promised
to renounce her extra territorial rights
in Zanzibar till the expiration of the
commercial treaty Of 1902, with the
proviso that the remuneration Ii only
effective when the other nations aban-
don their extra territorial rights in
Zanzibar in favor Vt Great Britain.
It is believed that the arrangement
proposed now will be satisfactory to
the state department ut Washington.
The United States Is not concerned
with the amount or character Of COM
pensation that passes between the
other nations Besides retaining the
coaling station of Pago-Pago, acquir-
Ing the Island Tutila. wherein the
harbor is located and three or four
smaller islets in the vicinity, the
United States will continue to enjoy
by stipulation the privilege Of trading
with Apia under conditions equally as
favorable as those now existing.
The partition of the Samoan group
of islands marks the close of . long
standing source Of international con-
troversy, and also brings about new
territorial arrangements in the South
Pacific.
