Forecasts For December.


The following weather forecasts for
the month Of December are taken from
Irl R. Hicks Word and Works."
The center of a regular Vulcan storm
period falls on the 2nd. AS the month
comes in the temperature will be chang
ing to warmer in Western parts, and
from End to 4th. inclusive. cloudiness,
with rain and snow will pass Eastward
ly across the country. The cold weather
sure to follow the first storm period Of
month will moderate on and touching
the 9TH and 9Th. and more rain, turn
ing to snow West and North, will pass
Eastwardly across the country. On
and about the 8th, general rains, with
possible lightning and thunder South
ward, are possible.
In all reasonable probability, a wide
and general cold wave will spread over
the country from about the 9th to the
18th.
A regular storm period is central on
the l4th, covering the 18th to the 18th.
All through this part of the month con-
tinued tendency to Winter storms will
prevail, but marked return to storm
conditions, with general rain and snow,
may be expected about the 18th to 21st.
On the 2lst these reactionalY storms
will eliminate in possible Winter thun-
der, wind and rain, especially to the
South, but it will be wise to look for
sudden change to snow, sleet and freez-
ing
The last storm period for December
and the year 1902 is central on Christ
mas Day, the 25th. Storms for this pc
Rod may have developed in Western sec
tions by the 25th, but central and East
ern parts of the country will most
likely have fair and moderate weather
Christmas Day. From about Friday,
the goth, TO Monday, the 29th, rain and
snow will advance Eastward across the
country, leaving very cold weather be-
hind them over the most of the country
as the month goes out,

and many of them have been arrested.
Among those condemned is Che Pymg

by them was in payment for salaries or
for expenses incurred in collecting.

GoMpERs' ADVICE.
Replies to Central Federated Union
in Regard to Action on the Ma
tional Civic Federation,

New York, Jan. 14.-The Central
Federated Union of this city has re-
ceived an interesting letter from
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, upon
the proposition to secure a refer
endum vote upon the work of the
National Civic Federation. In part
the letter says:
1.-THE action of the Central Federated
union to refer the work of the National
Civic Federation with resolution of con-
domination of said conference, to referen-
dunn vote of affiliated unions does not ap-
pear to me to be entirely one which can be
conductive of fair judgment Of the mem
bers of the unions affiliated with the Cen
trail Labor union. The only resolution be-
fore them is one Of condemnation, and even
should that not bh defeated. it would mean
that the purpose of the conference has not
been condemned. which is at least Mega
tive result 1t would seem that if the mat
ter was referred to the unions for vote and
resolution of condemnation is submitted
to the unions, that another resolution,
something on this order should accom-
pany it:
held between representatives of organized
labor and employers, and the employers
have recognized the justice of organized
labors claim to be consulted and con-
ferred with relative to the wages. hours
and other conditions under which labor
shall be performtd, and that conferences
for that purpose should be held and agree
ments reached,
Resolved. That organized labor insists
upon Its right and in this instance well
comes method to their attainment by
peaceful means;
p" Resolved, That we see in the recent
conference recognition of labor's rights,
particularly in organized effort, and that
the same is a step in the direction of In
oustrial progress and is therefore deserving
of encouragement

The surrender included one colonel,
three lieutenant colonies, one major,
five captains, IL lieutenants, 245 men
and 223 rifles. Marasigan, the colonel,
was leader of Importance under the
insurgent Gen. Malvar, operating in
the western part of Batangas.
That section is reported now to be
practically clear of hostile forces. 1t
is stated that the surrender was IN
conditional and due directly to the
excellent service of the American
troops. The loyal natives, it is added,
believe this surrender will influence
hostile bands in other sections of
Batangas to surrender.
