Washington, Dec. I5.-Minister Bowen
has confirmed the press reports to the
effect that the guns of the allied forces
which bombarded Puerto Cabello Saturday
were directed entirely at the Notifications
and not at the town.
Regretable as it was, this statement
says the affair did not constitute viola
tion of International law, in the fact that
"a hours notice was not served of the
hombardment. The requirements as to
notice applies to unfortifed or fortified
towns where the fire must be directed
upon the inhabitants, and this was not
the case at Puerto Cabello. SO that while
the officials here regret that the firing
took place, they have as yet no cause to
protest

NEW TARIFF BILL
KILLS The TRADE
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Chicago, Dec. I5.-The tariff bill just
passed by the German rechstag, Chicago
packers say, will deprive them of almost
rs per cent of their provision export trade,
exclusive of fresh meats, and the packers
are already preparing to urge the United
States government to take some action
that will give them relief.
William c. Evans of the foreign depart
ment of Armour K Co., who has just re-
turned from Berlin, where he has been in
the interests of the house he represents,
said the bill would deprive the American
packers of nearly all their German export
trade. 1t also would react on the poorer
classes in Germany.
"The new bill will also rob the packers
Of a great part of the German export trade,
which is rs per cent of all our foreign
business" said Evans. AT present the
outlook is not bright, and if prices con-
tinue high it will be practically impossible
to win back any of the trade"

can merchants to the system in the
transaction of business with the new
possessions assures the cable company
a good revenue from the outset.
But even from that point of view 1t
must be said that the government OF
the United States has clearly the best
of the bargain in this transaction.
When Mr.. Mackay, since deceased.
caused his proposal to be made to
congress the United States govern
ment was confronted by the necessity
of establishing a wholly independent
means of cable communication with the
East. There would have been no other
remedy under the circumstances but
for the government itself to have con-
structed such cable. The expense
would have been enormous, and the
precedent set one which this country
might in the future have cause to re-
gret.
The understanding reached between
the government and the cable COM
pany is now happily such one as will
enable the United States, to all intents
and purposes, to own and operate a
complete and Independent line of cable
connection under the Pacific ocean con-
Meeting the American mainland with
Hawaii and our Asiatic possessions in
the Philippines and with China.
The Importance of the Chinese ex-
tension cannot be overestimated when
it is recalled that England claimed to
have the exclusive right, through Chi
nese concessions, to land a cable on the
Chinese coast, and, furthermore, in the
light of the fact that it is an indis-
pensable aid to the advancement of
American commercial interests in the
Chinese empire.

JUDGE eALusHA.

Few citizens have in private life rem
dered so substantial service to their
place of residence as was rendered
throughout his life by the late R. B.
Galusha.
Mr.. Galusha was a good type of the
resident of st. Paul who looked for
ward to receiving no recognition or
compensation in any form for his Ia
bors and sacrifices on behalf of the
community except such as came from
his own consciousness of having dis
charged his duty. He always was averse
to attracting toward himself anything
like general attention. His life, in st.
Paul until his later years was the Life Of
an active professional man interested
by natural disposition in the increased
around him. Public prominence he
did not seek; he rather avoided it. Pub
lie office was ever at his disposal; he
sought it not. Yet he most willingly
years the modest and apparently COM
paratively unimportant office of work.
house director
The city has experienced a great loss
in the death of Judge Galusha. He was
always a most unpretentious man. His
worth he allowed to be known only to
his immediate friends, and they ac-
quired the knowledge of it in spite of,
rather than on account of, the personal
characteristics of Mr.. Galusha. The
community, which includes men of his
type among its residents is well as
sured, everything else being equal, of
its full measure of prosperity.
st. Paul owes most that it has and
most that its people have toward the
life activity of men like Judge Ga
lusha. He has passed away known
personally to not score, perhaps, of
the later residents of st. Paul, but only
after having given the full measure Of
his splendid intellectual attachments,
his charming personal characteristics
and his great energy and zeal, to the
advancement of the welfare of st. Paul.

THE PACIFIC CABLE.

During the consideration by congress
at its last session of the several pro-
posals for the establishment of cable
communication between the United
States, Hawaii, the Philippines and
China I he Gil o b e consistently and
strongly urged the proposal of the Pa
cific Cable company, which looked to
the establishment of the cable as a pri
Nate undertaking. The existing cable
monopoly at that time came forward
through it's representatives with the
demand that the government should it,.
self construct such a cable. The de-
mand, however, was directly traced to
the influence of the Western Union
Telegraph company and defeated its
own ends. Nor was the opposition to
the Pacific cable project any more sue
cessful in its policy of reducing exist
ing rates, in order to discourage the
construction of a new line
Reports from Oyster Bay now show
that the last details of the transaction
are in process of arrangement. Attor
ney General Knox, having the final adj
Justment of the terms on which the ca
BILE should be established, is in posi-
ton to secure to the country the fol-
lowing important requirements:
First, that the government itself.
through the postmaster general, shall
have the right to fix the rates to he
charged.
Second, that the United States NAV
at any time purchase the line at an an
praised valuation, to be fixed by arbi
traitors.
Third, that in time of war the gov
eminent shall have the right absolutely
to control the cable.
Fourth, that the United States gov
eminent shall at all times have prior
ity of service.
Fifth, that the system shall he nada
complete and Independent of all other
s cables by the construction of a line
from China to Manila.
1t is seldom that such broad and lib-
eral terms on behalf of the public are
established in any transaction with a
private corporation; but by judicious
insistence on the most liberal terms
public opinion was effective in secur-
ing all the advantages which the ma
ton could reasonably look for in such
a transaction. Of course the extent of
business already assured by the gov
eminent to the cable company in tba
transaction of its business, with its. rep
resentatives in Manila, and the general

months, those sections In which the
crops have not yet been garnered may
regard themselves as exceptionally for
tunate should no disastrous conse-
Quences arise.
The weather bureau throughout the
country has from day to day predicted
with a reasonable correctness the APP
preaching meteorological conditions.
However the machinery of that bureau
may be made to operate. 1t seems at
least plain on the face of things that
there is no serious thought on the part
of it's officials of going deeper into OPP
Grating causes than as the recorded
conditions in several sections may from
day to day furnish the key.
1t has been declared that the excep-
this year were in some way related to
the awful series of catastrophes in the
West Indian islands, consequent upon
the eruptions at Martinique and st.
Vincent. Yet, while good deal of
data has been forthcoming in one di-
rection or another. 1t is palpably the
fact that no Intelligent explanation
has been attempted of the exceptional
conditions which have prevailed.
Scientific knowledge has advanced
sufficiently far to lead the ordinary in
telligent person to expect that some
light should be thrown upon the nat
ural conditions which are capable of
producing the exceptional weather that
has prevailed for so long practically
throughout the world, and distinguish
ed in greater measure by successive
storms. The intelligent public are not
content to accept the predictions offer
ed to them from day to day. They ask
that science shall come forward and
offer some intelligent answer to the
question: How are we to explain the
uncertainty and unseasonableness of
the weather during the past four
months.

ABOUT THE WEATHER.

The people of every section of the
United States are conscious that this
has been an exceptional summer, dis
tinguished above all other things by
the strange variety and unreasonable
ness of the weather.
In view of the uncertainty which has
attended weather conditions since the
close of the winter season it is surpris-
ing that the condition of the crops is
at all as satisfactory as it concededly
is. At intervals almost every locality
in the country has been visited by
storms of great severity, and much
damage has been done to property and
to growing crops through such disturb
ances. The exceptional rain and wind
storm which attacked these two cities
on Saturday night represented the close
for the time being of a succession of
serious disturbances, and the condi-
tons have been confined, even during
the same time, to no one prescribed To-
cality or section. Kansas City was Wis
tied by a wind and rain storm of ex-
ceptional severity at about the same
time as st. Paul and Minneapolis suf-
fered, while corresponding conditions
are reported to have prevailed concur
rently in the state of New Jersey
The Observation-Disclosures of the weather
during the past few months has been
a notable circumstance in itself. Dur
ing the month of April we were in the
enjoyment of weather which might rea-
sonably have been expected to have
prevailed during the month of June.
The rains which might naturally be
expected during the former month were
given to us during the latter. All
through July, which was last year and
ordinarily is attended by greater or
less drought, was this year marked by
heavy rainfall and continued storms.
The weather during the past few days,
with It's lower temperature, might or
dinarily be looked for during the clos
ing days of October. What the situa-
ton may be during the remainder of
the year not even the most inveterate
weather prophet might undertake with
any safety to predict, but, judging by
the uncertainties of the past four
