ANOTHER HOT WAVE.
Promises to Be a Repetition of the
Torrid Spell Experienced
Two Weeks Ago.

Weather Observer Clarke says he
doesn't want to be held responsible for
the weather on it's way here and
due in course of three or four days.
About the most encouraging things he
could he induced to say was that he
hoped IL would not be a repetition OF
the not altogether non-unfrigid spell
experienced the early part of the
month.
The bother is all coming from up
near Vancouver, Il. c., and not Wash
ington, ID. c., according to Mr.. Clarke.
He showed the reporter a map with a
lot of markings on it and said You
can see for yourself how it happens. -
The reporter gazed intently at the
markings, put on a wise look and
said;
That's the way, eh?"
Yes" said the weatherman, I'm
this region of high depression there is
more or less isothermal humidity en-
gendered by the area Of relative pre-
cipitation. and isobaric elevation. This
causes certain things which causes GER
tain other things, and between them
they cause the weather.
Besides this, Mr.. Clarke stated that
the coming three or four days will be
hot but not sizzling hot. A nice hot
wave from up Vancouver way was
heading henceward, but it took to the
north Of the lakes and escaped us,
a wad of hot that has been lowering
over the country between the Rockies
and the Mississippi is ready to move
out and take to the east, and wher
it does this really truly holiness now
generating in the Northwest corner
of the United States will take its place
and after short sojourn in the west
will sweep this way. This last sweep is
to do the damage.
Mr.. Clarke hopes that it will moi
he as hot a wave as that which wen'
this way a couple of weeks ago, bu
as stated before. he simply hopes.
Monday had some SIS weather anc

enough for all ordinary purposes. Yes
terday at 3 o'clock, the temperature
was 81. Today it is expected the
weather will be a little warmer, bu
not much.

THE ISTHHIAN CRISIS.

Thu isthmian crisis continues The Colom-
1oiap Government still holds Panama and the
insurgents Colon The troops ut the former
place have been reinforced, and have taken the
aggressive against the latter. There are reports
of government victories at Culebra ard Emper-
ador Those places on the railroad about
a dozen miles northwest Of Panama, and thus
more than one-fourth way across to Colon
There has been talk of bombardment Of Colon
by a government gunboat but since that might
interrupt railroad transit across the isthmus
the United States authorities may not let it be
done. AS yet there has been little disturbance
of transit American bluejackets have been
landed from the Iowa st Panama and from the
Nachias at Colon, and some of the latter party
are said to have gone inland to the middle of
the fsthmus If so. they cannot be far from
the scene of conflict at Emperador. The pur-
pose OF such landing and invasion is. OF course,
solely the protection of the railroad from inter
ruptIon and injury. and is in accord with
undoubted rights Of the United States.
It is desirable. however, TO keep in mind the
fact that the United States is by no means
bound thus TO intervene. There was current
the other day statement 10 the effect that
Colombia had called upon this country to pro-
tect the railroad from the insurgents, in accord
with its treaty obligations. The United States
Il
treaty obligations. On the contrary, it is Colon
bia that is bound to protect the railroad from
interruption. The United States simply has
the right thus TO intervene at its own will and
discretion in case Colombia fails to fulfil its
obligations or seems unable to fulfil them. OF
course, a request for aid made by the Colon
bian Government would always meet with con-
sideration. But there can scarcely be any such
thing as demand upon this country for aid,
The treaty Of 1876 does not read that way.
Moreover, in any such intervention the United
States forces are impartial. They do not take
sides with either party. They protect the rail
road and keep the route Of transit open. That
is ali. And they will prevent obstruction of the
| road by government troops just as quickly as
by insurgents
The chief danger in such situation is that
one or the other OF the belligerent parties will
regard the United States acting against it
