A TERRIFIC STORM.
Princess Anne Visited by Heavy Blow and
RAIN

Especial Dispatch to The Timez)
BLOSSOM HILL. VA, Dec. ia most
severe wind and rain storm, the equal OF
which is difficult to realize, has just
passed over this section. In some IN
stances trees were blown down and small
houses demolished. At this writing, an
accurate estimate of the damage done
cannot be obtained, but it is presumed
to be small, owing to the fact that crops
of all kinds had been gathered and every
thing out of doors, including stock,
housed for the winter.
The full force of the storm occurred
about midnight and lasted about thirty
minutes, during which time the rain
came down in torrents and the wind blew
with fearful violence. Had it taken place
in the day time, the loss OF life to the
sunners and fishermen on the waters OF
Back Bay would have l5een appalling.

 MONROE DOCTRINE
THE SPECTATOR IN AN EDITORIAL SAYS "WHY SHOULD WE NOT PLEDGE OURSELVES NOT TO INFRINGE UPON ITw

London. November 22.-The most impor- tant position in tomorrow's editon of the Spectator will be occupied by a discus sion of a proposal that Great Britain should give its formal adherence to the Monroe doctrine.
 The Spectator will say:
 If America will define the Monroe doc- Urine why should we not pledge ourselves not to infringe upon it? When we had acknowledged this doctrine America might propose 1t to the rest of the pow CTS for endorsement. If she did, the powers could heartily refuse. II they adhered their adherence would be of great use, not to America, but the cause of peace, for It would eliminate a great many of the notable causes of war. If the Monroe doctrine became a part of the public law of the civilized world, the risk of war breaking out with regard to European interference in Brazil or Span ish-America, now always a possibility, would then pass away.
 Possibly no other power but Great Britain would at first be willing to rec ognize the Monroe Doctrine as binding Even so it would be worth our while to

 Tuberculosis Experiments.

New York, November 22.-Tuberculosis experiments by George D. Barney of Brooklyn who has aroused considerable indignation when he announced recently that he had inoculated a young woman with the disease. were brought to a sud den close by Dr. Robert A. Black, head of the board of health in that borough. who seized the COW on which he had founded his work.
 Dr. Barney combats the theory of pr. Koch, the eminent German medical au- thority, that consumption could not be communicated from a lower animal to a human being and with that end in view he inoculated the COW with the disease and kept her in his stable to watch the progress of the disease. The COW had become very sick and he was preparing soon to hold an autopsy on her when the agents of Dr. Black bounced upon the creature and carried her away to the public pound. where it is said she will be destroyed.
