FIRST TOUCH OF AUTUMN.
a Coal Wave Strikes the City and
Brings ShiycrS

The cool weather which. the officials
predicted for Richmond arrived in the
city on time last night The drop was
so remarkably sudden and acute that it
resembled a move from summer into
winter.
For two days the weather had been
sultry and oppressive. The mercury was
away up and the humidity was great.
After the precipitation of Lei of an inch
of rain-the greatest amount on the At
lantic seaboard-and the clearing of the
heavens, which took place early last night
the cool wave came
Out in the Northwest the temperature
is low-the coolest since spring-and it
seems as if this section is to have a
touch of autumn, too. Yesterday morn
ing the thermometer at Huron, S. D.,
stood at "a degrees, but two degrees
above the freezing point. AT Omaha it
was As and at Chicago and at Marquette
it was the same. At Pittsburg it was
IS and was falling.
To-day will be an autumn day unless
all signs fail-the first touch of the new
season just ushered in.
Last night at II o'clock the mercury
stood at 81 degrees. 1t was falling rapid
1.-TWO degrees an hour.
The indications are favorable to fair
and cool weather for the next day or two,
possibly longer.

REGISTRATION IN NORFOLK.
Authorities State Their
View of the Ordinance

View of the Ordinance.
NORFOLK, VA, September 4-(Spe-
ciaL)-The registration problem Is not
exciting as much anxiety here as would
appear to be the case in Newport News
and Augusta county. as well as In other
sections of the State, where the decision
of Attorney-General Anderson has been
promulgated.
In Portsmouth. the notice will be given
In the press to-day or tomorrow, ac-
cording to the second section of the or
dinance ordering the registration. and
prescribing the regulations for IL. The
registration will likely begin on the 26th.
and the judges will sit from noon until
9 o'clock.
1t has been determined by the Board
of Registrars and its advisers. who were
present at its meeting last evening by
request. that the rule to be observed
here will be that the newspaper notice
of two weeks and the posted notice OF
twenty days. may begin at the same
time and continue. simultaneously.
The idea that is advanced by the At
torney-General of the State to the effect
that after the two weeks newspaper
publication twenty days must elapse be-
fore the registration is to be made. and
that that is TO be concluded prior to the
18th of October, Is not accepted here
There appears to be no question In the
minos of the registrars as to the pro-
priety of their course. They declare that
the only thing to do to avoid delay Is
to proceed at once with the notice and
registration.

Insurance Commissioner, William Bar
Der, New London.
The convention smashed many of the
states which had been prepared early in
the day and still later in conference du-
ring the noon recess. The biggest sur
prise of the day, and a sensation at that,
was the turning down of a resolution
just before the convention adjourned en-
dorsing the Kansas City platform. While
| b
the delegates gave respectful hearing
to its reading, it was not entertained for
an instant.
Just before final adjournment, Delegate
w. H. Rogers. of Madison, offered the
following resolution:
1--WE. the Democrats, of Wisconsin, in
convention assembled reaffirm our allie
glance to the Democratic party and it's
policy as enunciated in its national plat
FORM
Starcely had Mr.. Rogers finished the
resolution when another delegate arose to
a point Of order and stated that it had
been decided to refer all resolutions to a,
committee on resolutions. Still another
delegate made a motion to adjourn. This
was put and adopted with almost unani-
nous vote there being not more than two
or three feeble protests. The resolution,
therefore, was completely ignored The
convention then adjourned sine die.
