A WEATHER PROPHET
He Has Established a Private
Weather Bureau.
Hammered UravaiIiogIy at Door Of Agricul-
turaI Department. Tells Of Sirns
and Winds and Snow
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
For the past five years ] have been
hammering at the door of our Agriculture
al department stating that ! have dis
covered an important law, by which | am
able to foresee years in advance where.
or over what sections of the United
States storms will form, and in what
direction they Will travel. But they sim
ply inform me that they have no use for
my services at Washington. Therefore I
have established a Weather Bureau Of my
own. | enclose M card for February
and my forecasts have been perfect every
day up to the present hour. And there il
no signs Of q break. The next storm will
center over the Ohio Valley on the 18th.
This storm will not have any serious eff
feet yer your State except warm south
erly winds with some rain But after the
rain there viii be great change And
on the 18th another storm viii form over
Texas and move rapidly across the Gulf
States And at the same time a second
stern will move down from the lakes
with Il great cold wave behind il. These
two storms will come together off the
South Atlantic coast States on the 14th.
And the cold wave will get down Into
Florida by the goth causing heavy snow
along our Atlantic coast from South Car
oIina to Maine. The great value of my
system lies in the fact that | can give
the variations of the weather for any part
Of the United States. For instance next
May will be a remarkable month. Over
the South Atlantic States it will be hot
and dry While, about five hundred miles
west from the cast there will be a belr
OF terrific storms. extending from the
Gulf of Mexico to Canada causing distruc-
tive Goods from Ohio down the Mississippi
river to Texas. Congressman should stop
calling for money for local improvements,
and sink all personal differences, aud
make some provisions TO ward of the dis
structive Hoods for those sections. While
out in Iowa the viii be able to go

ing these points will be of value 10 your

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE Committee

only one Doint-that some change in the
credal statement was necessary
The thirteen members Of the full COM
mittee of sixteen were much divided as

majority decided in favor of supple

certain points in the Confession OF

1t is expected that a strong minority re-

Ex-President Harrison was one of

Doctrins will not be surrendered, but
their fuller application TO existing cir

London, Dec. 2S-The following dis
patch has been received from Lord
Kitchener, dated Johannesburg:
General Rundle reports that the
night of Dec. "a Colonel Forman's
command at Zefontaine, consisting OF
three companies Of yeomanry and two
guns, was successfully rushed by a
strong commando under Dewet. It is
feared that the casualties were heavy.
Two regiments of light horse are pur-
suing the Beers"
Boer resistance has always been
very strong in that part of the Orange
River Colony which was the scene of
General Dewet's Christmas coup. A
great quadrangle of blockhouses is
being built there, the four points of
which are Vereenignen, Volksrust,
Harrismith and Kroonstadt. At the
southeast coast of this quadrangle is
an open space from Bethlehem to
Lindley, where the square of block
houses is still incomplete, and here
Dewet made his attack. Colonel For
mans force probably amounted TO 400
men, and the disaster, especially tho
loss of the guns, the possession or
which may enable Dewet to success
fully attack the blockhouses, creates
a disturbing impression.

France Does Not Anticipate Compif-

Paris, Dec. 28.-The foreign Office
here confirms the report from Port CT
Spain. Trinidad, that the government
of France has notified the Venezuela
government that the rights of M. Sc
crestate of Bordeaux have beeninfring-
ed by the seizure of the property in
Venezuela of Senior Manuel A Matos,
the leader Of the new revolution
against President Castro. The French
government holds that the property
no longer belongs to Senior Matos, as
he had leased it to M. Secrestate and
that the Venezuelan government is
bound by the recognition of M. Secre-
states title by the Venezuelan consul
here, before whom the whole matter
came up.
The French government does not
anticipate any complications will
arise on account of it's representations
on the subject to Venezuela and is not
considering the adoption of measures
to enforce the claims of M. Secrestate,
as it expects the question to be settled
in few days.

Storm Creates Great Havoc Among
Vessels at Vancouver, 3. C.
Vancouver, B. c., Dec. 26.-The
worst storm for several years struck
Vancouver at midnight Wednesday
and continued all day Thursday. Great
damage was done, especially to small
shipping, the total loss being estimated
at about 100000. The steamer Aoran-
gi, coming in from Australia lay in
English bay all night and got her
anchor foul of the Canadian Pacific
cable to Victoria, the end of which is
now lost. The ceble station was
wrecked by the storm and logs piled
against it. The bark Elizabeth Nicbol-
sen dragged her anchor across the
harbor and went broadside against the
Hastings mill wharf. She broke the
copper sheathing over her bows but no
holes were stove in her. The bow of
the steamer Active was carried right
over the wharf and the vessel consid-
erably damaged Fifteen small steam
ers went adrift and were all more or
less damaged.
Wreckage has been picked up in the
gulf, including several cases of Alaska
Packers company marked Todd, Icy
Pass" These are thought to be either
from a sOuthbound Alaska steamer or
from the Mainlander. The latter has
not arrived and no news here as to
whether she left Seattle on time last
night or not.
