HAYTlEN INCIDENT CLOSED
Has Been satisfactorily Adjusted So
Far as French Government
Is Concerned.

Paris, July 2.-The Haytien incident
has been satisfactorily adjusted, SO far
as France is concerned. The foreign
Office has received dispatch from
Port-Au-Prince, saying that President
Nord had made the most complete
apology for the indignity shown the
French minister. The Haytien govern
ment's action includes the punishment
of these guilty Of the outrage, public
apology and assurances Of security for
the future.
Foreign Minister Delcasse informed
the council of ministers that the presi-
dent of Hayti had given a public au-
dience to the French and German
ministers and had publicly apologized,
Although the action of France was in
dependent of Germany throughout
each government appears to have tan
en- similar measures.

FORECASTS GREAT STORMS
Hurricanes From the South and Cy-
clones From the West.
A Washington Forecaster Says Au-
gust, September and October
Will Bring Dig, storms.

Washington, July 2.--More severe
storms than have been experienced in
America during the past ten years are
predicted to occur during August, Sep
TENDER and October by w. T. Forster,
the long-distance forecaster, who de-
clares that the storms are to come with
such force that they will leave havoc
in their path over the entire territory
through which they pass. These storms
will be tropical hurricanes and trans.
continental cyclones. The hurricanes
will come from the south and south
west, off the gulf of Mexico, while the
transcontinental storms will wend their
way from the territory west Of the
Mississippi valley. Mr.. Forster says
indications point to series of these
destructive winds, and the results will
be far more serious than people would
suppose. During the past few years
severe storms have swept the country,
and much serious damage has resulted,
but the character of those predicted
by Mr.. Forster are, manifestly, far the
most dangerous the country has known
in many years.
Mr.. Forster makes no attempt to To-
cate these storms or to tell where they
will reach their greatest force. He con-
fines himself now to the announcement
that they will come and the destruction
with which they will be attended. He
does not forecast them for any par
ticular locality, but says they will
sweep with remarkable force from the
directions already told, For many
weeks Mr.. Forster has been at work In
I the library of the naval observatory
completing his maps and following the
conditions all over the country. SC
positive is he that his forecast is cor.
rect that he says he could foretell the
approximate time the storms will reach
certain locality, but that he is con-
tent in stating the fact that hurricanes
will surely come.

his consent to the institution of an

State to collect taxes from lumber
dealers. A test case will be filed by

1t is estimated that not less than
100000 of State taxes is involved,
and a much larger sum in county
and special taxes. The suit will be
an effort to collect both privilege
and ad velorem taxes from lumber
dealers as merchants, merchants
having been defined by the legisla-
lature as persons, copartnerships or
corporations engaged in trading or
dealing in any kind of goods wares
or merchandise. 1t is contended by
the State that lumber dealers who
buy and sell lumber clearly come
within the definition. 1t is not con-
tended, however, that dealers in lum-
Der who manufacture all that they
sell will be liable.
