NEWS FROM ALEXANDRIA.

ALEXANDRIA. Va, July 25.-It was to-
day determined by the CORPORATION At
torney that. under an old corporation law.
passed over eighty years ago, it is unlawful
TO use in cleaning the streets of Alexandria
any vehicle other than one drawn by one
horse and having two wheels. This law
requires that a two-horse wagon be ia
booed. 1t would by no means allow the use
Of an automobile or anything unknown TO
the time Of General Washington. This
question has arisen from a communication
sent by the mayor to the city engineer. 1t
is the universal opinion that such regu-
lations. now out Of date, should be re-
pealed.

New-York tribune., 1900-12-02

No part of Professor Bigelow's report will at
tract wider attention than his consideration of
the causes Of areas Of high and low bSrOmetric
pressure Espy, LOomis. Abbe, Ferrell and other
1neteoroIogists have argued with force that local
heating from sunshine and the liberation Of heat
in the centre of depression by the condensa-
ton Of vapor into rain caused the uprising of
atmosphere in a storm and the consequent low
erng of the pressure. The overflow of the as
cendng air was thought to be largely instru-
mental in producing the higher pressure through
a simple heaping up process. Ham, Davis and
some other modern meteoroIOgists have lately
come to discredit this theory, at least to limit
its application to ocean born tropical cyclones.
Bigelow too, now rejects the notion He holds
that mechanical forces and not thermal, are
mainly responsible for the formation of depres-
sions. He says that there is a more or less
regular succession Of air currents sweeping over
this country alternately from the southwest
and from the northwest; and he believes that
friction develops eddies between them. The late
William Ferrell held that the pOleward flow of
hot air from the equatorial region occurred
mostly at a considerable elevation. Bigelow
thinks that it is now proved that very little air
moves nOrthward at any great height Most of
it keeps down close to the ground. TIE other
current, the one from the northwest is recog-
one of the highest authorities on atmospheric
circulation that this any other country has
produced. But for his disagreement with other
meteorologists Professor Bigelow gives fOrcible
reasons, and experts cannot fail to see that ne
has made out a strong case for the dynamical
theory of storms. Some of his findings
scarcely less than revolutionary.
Not merely for the purpose of completing the
study of the conditions existing permanently in
the upper air, but also for their value in fore
casting the weather from day TO day, Professor
Bigelow urges that cloud observations be con
tinued He points out that air currents which
are directly concerned in weather changes often
exist at an elevation Of only from 300 to 10000
feet. No hint of them is afforded by the drec-
tion of the surface winds He specifies certain
situations where information Of this kind would
he particularly servceabIe in fOrecasting rain
And he expresses the hope that Ly this means
meteorolOgy may be changed from an empirical
to an exact science. and that much greater ac-
curacy in prediction Will thus be made possible

i NEW CATHEDRAL FOR LONDON.

From The London Mail
LOndOns new cathedral is 10 be at Vest

course Of erection. and the scanolding still sur
rounds portions of the mighty edidce. The
cathedral is some $40 feet long and about 16O
feet wide; in other words as long as Chester
Cathedral and rather wider than that at Canter-
bury. The style of architecture is early Chris
tiaA Byzantine. similar to that in which st.
Sophia at COnstantinOple, is built.

BILL TO TAKE ITS CHANGES.
Cancellation Committee Discharged Ate,

Final Caucus.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Repub-
Ecan members Of the senate spent two
and half hours in caucus yesterday in
an effort to reach an agreement upon
the Porto Rican legislation now pend
ing in the senate. The caucus was APP
parently. however, without material re-
suit, the only accomplishment being a
decision to proceed with the general bill
as it now stands, without separating the
tariff feature, and to discharge the har-
mony committee from further efforts.
During the sitting there were 20 or
more speeches made. There was little
disposition to yield point. Indeed, the
free traders on one hand and the iron
bound tariff men on the other hand
were quite as obdurate as they had been
at the previous meeting. This condition
of affairs was made so manifest that
Senator Allison, acting as chairman of
the caucus, declared at the close of the
caucus that there was no necessity of
| putting q motion to continue on past
lines, as il was very evident that no
other course was practicable.
| Senator Foraker was instructed by
| the caucus to press the Porto Rican bill
as it now stood, the government bill in
| corporated with the tariff measure, to
as speedy vote as possible. The under
standing at the time this instruction
was given was that Senator Foraker
would offer an am endment to the tariff
feature of the bill adding the free list
named by the president in an executive
order to the exports going from the
United States to Porto Rico duty free,
but that the Is per cent of the Dingley
law carried in the house bill ON goods
coming from Porto Rico to the United
| States would be retained.
