Tho storm Was Predicted.

Houston, Texas, Sept. 13.-The storm
in Galveston, was predicted by the
weather bureau for Friday night. The
conditions on that night were ominous,
the danger signal was displayed and
shipping was warned. BY 10 o'clock
Saturday morning it was almost a
gale, yet no serious apprehension was
felt as late as noon. At two minutes
before $3.50 p. m. the instrument to
measure the velocity of the wind
showed 100 miles an hour. Two min
utes later the instrument was blown
away. After that the velocity attained
is matter of conjecture. At 1880 p.
m. the barometer in the press CORE
spondents' Office stood at 2S04]5. BY
10 o'clock, it had reached $500. From
that time the wind gradually subsidized

lives and carry to a conclusion the war
