TO FORECAST OCEAN STORMS.
Important Innovation Of the Weathe,
Bureau.

Professor Willis L. Moore, chief of the
weather bureau, in his report to Secretary
James Wilson, for the fiscal year that ended
June 30, 1900, reviews briefly the operations
of the bureau during the year. Professor
Moore says:
The forecast service has been strength
ened and improved by the extension of the
system of observing stations over the West
Indies and the Caribbean sea, and by the
service Of the republic of Mexico. The ap-
proach of all dangerous tropical storms,
the movement OF cold waves and the oc-
currence of killing frostss and heavy snow
were accurately forecast
An important Innovation Is promised in
the near future viz, the Beginning of spec
ial storms forecasts for the north Atlantic
This step becomes possible by the COM
pieilon OF a cable system connecting Lis
bon, the Azores and New York city. 1t is
proposed to include Bermuda and a num-
Der of important points on the western
coast of Europe in the new system of re-
ports, and to ssue a forecast Of wind
force and direction for the first three days
of all outgoing steamers, and for an equal
period for such as place themselves in COM
munication with the bureau before leaving
European ports. ~
The original experimental work of the
bureau during the year. was confined to an
investigation of the possibilities of wireless
geography as method of establishing
communication between vessels at sea, and
exposed points along our lake and sea
coasts. Satisfactory progress was made in
this Investigation, but The time Is not yet
ripe for communicating the details Of the
work.

Clarksburg last July, was concluded in the
circuit court here this morning, and after
about three hours of argument by counsel,
was given to the jury.
The defendant went upon the stand this

a very good witness He admitted having
struck Young, as testified to by the wit
nesses for the prosecution, but stated that
he did not do so until he became afraid
that Young would cut him, he had the
Seputauon of doing violent things when

The Shipping Bill.
Unless 1t turns out at the very beginning
that enough oppose the measure to render
it imprac icable to force it through at this
session, the hardest and most doubtful fight
Of the session promises to be over the ship
ping bill. There is practically party oppo-
stion to this measure - the part of the
democrats, though a few democrats will
probably support it. and among republicans
there is great deal of talk of opposition
to it, and apparently an attempt to organ
Ze against it. Some republicans who ac-
cede TO the general principle of giving aid
to the developing of American shipping
base their opposition to the character of the
particular proposition made, and declare
that no such bill can get through Congress.
If the bill, as desired by its chief advo-
Gates, is found to be deficient in support,
the matter may be settled by compromise
on substitute measure, on which the ma
jority party can be practically united; but
still the accomplishment of this is likely
to consume more time than can well be
spared at a short session, and the meas
ure VIII have to contend with that sort of
opposition which comes from men who,
While declaring their approval of the prop
osition. advise it's pOsSponement until a
more convenient time ntKt Congress. The
fact that the bill has not yet been passed
through either house. aud that therefore,
there is no work done it by this Con-
Sress, which would have TO be gone over
again by the next may prove an argument
in favor of the suggestion IF postponement
The Nicaragua Canal.
If the Nicaragua canal fails it will not
be through direct open opposition to it. A
.arge majority in Congress are either hon
estly in favor of the construction of this
canal or are impeled By the sentiment
among their constituents to seem to favor
it. Its chief danger lies In complications
on account of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
and the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, and that
the time for action is SO brief that little
dallying may place it in conflict with other
business which is regarded as urgent

TREATY WITH NICARAGUA
CONVENTION SIGNED BY SECRETARY
HAY AND MINISTER CCREA.
Exclusive Right to Construct and
Operate a Canal Granted to
the United States.

Secretary Hay, for the government of the
United States, and Senor Corea. the Mica
raguan minister, for his own government,
| today signed a treaty, by the terms of
which the latter government comedies to
the United States the rights and privileges
within her bestowal necessary for the con-
struction of a Nicaraguan canal
This action Is taken in anticipation of
congressional action upon the pending Mic
aragua canal bill and the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. Pending the submission of the doc
ument to the Senate, which body must
ratify the agreement, It's terms will not be
made public 1t is understo' l. however,
that generally Nicaragua gr lnts to the
United States government . exclusive
right to construct and operase the canal
between the Atlantic and Pacific across
Nicaragua, including the Sree use of the
San Juan river and of Lake Managua as
part Of the water course. Nicaragua is
also to rid herself of any outstanding
treaties that would tend in any way to
abridge the privileges to be acquired by
the United States. 1t is understood also
that Nicaragua comedies to the United
States full authority to police the canal.
On the other hand Nicaragua is to re-
ceiVe as compensation a certain amount of
the securities of the canal construction
company, and although it is not possible
now to learn the figure set down in the
treaty, 1t is believed to approximate So
600, 900.
Other international Arrangements.
The State Department has already en-
tered into an arrangement on similar lines
with the republic of Costa Rica. I was
because Costa Rica has established a claim
to the right bank of the San Juan river,
which must of necessity form about third

Walker commission.
An understanding has also been arrived
at with the United States Of Colombia COW
erlng the same rights and privileges for the
Panama route are conveyed by Mica
ragua and Costa Rica in the case of the
Nicaragua route. So the State Department
