Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. August 24.-Disregarding
entirely the character of this mornings ad-
vices from Portsmouth, the stock market
opened with a show of speculative enthu-
STA am which recalled the tendencies which
were displayed In the spring months OF
1901.
A large number OF stocks advanced I'M
mediately to new high record figures. and 1t
would be superfiuous to state that the aV-
erage level OF the market was carried to
the highest stage at which 1T has ever
rested.
The Indifference shown to dispatches re-
Iating to the peace negotiations was. per-
haps caused by the very pronounced
strength Of the London stock market. where
Japanese bonds actually advanced while
Russian bonds were firm. Consols were
steady also. but. on the other hand, French
rentes showed some weakness.
Stock market prices reacted quite sharply
from their high opening level, but 1t did
not appear that the movement resulted
from any further consideration OF the
status of the peace negotiations. and, in
fact. 1t seemed to reflect little more than
the thrush of flood OF selling orders. In
duced by the rapidity OF the opening ad
vance Subsequently prices moved irreg
ularly. but In a general way the market
evinced renewed lifting tendency. and
with the course of the business session
number OF stocks scored further extensive
advances

have certain educational ideas which his
new appointment gives him a chance to
carry out.
Mr.. Freeman was born in Lancaster.
"a. from which place his parents re-
moved to Baltimore. Md, when the boy
was quite young. His education was OBJ
and at the Stewart Hall Academy. where
he was prepared for college. After being
graduated in the class of SO at Dart
mouth. where he had followed a course
tn civil engineering, Mr.. Freeman taught
for one season at Cape Cod. Mass.
In 1884 he came to Washington. his first
position being in the Waliach school as
teacher Of the seventh grade. Later he
was transferred to the Peabody and pro-
NOTED to the eighth grade.
Such. 1T Is said, WAS the success of the
Peabody during the periods of Mr. Free
mans principalship that in recognition of
his services he was appointed supervising
principal of the eighth division in 1890.
Since that time he has served as super

also the third and second divisions.

THE WEATHER BUREAU.

The annual report OF Willis L. Moore,
chief Of the United States weather
bureau, has just been received in PAM
phlet form by The Herald. The report
contains little that is not OF a routine
character. but it serves to call atten-
ton 10 the splendid work that the
weather bureau is doing. There may
have been q time when people of some
Intelligence looked upon the money
expended Tor and by the weather
bureau as money wasted. II such a
lime and such people there were, it and
they have passed long since.
The weather bureau Las abundantly
justified its existence. Every year il
saves 10 the farmers, the fruit growers,
the livestock men and those who are
engaged IN lake, river and ocean COM
nerce, hundreds OF thousands OF dol
lars. Many q ship has been prevented
from sailing out 10 certain destruction
through a timely warning from a gov
eminent weather observer; many q
stockman has had warning in time 20
save his cattle and his sheep. many a
farmer has saved his tender young
trees and his early vegetables.
Il is impossible 20 estimate this saw
ing in dollars. We only know that the
men whose property Is saved might
have lost 1t and their lives with the
property and we know that the money
value must run into many hundreds
% thousands OF dollars. Perhaps the
BEST test OF the weather bureaus
efficiency is found in the fact that there
IS no thought OF abolishing II. On the
contrary, the effort now In 90 give TO
Il more funds in order that it may in
crease it's efficiency. Why, a suggestion
that the bureau be discontinued would
be met with a wave of protest that
would sweep from one end OF the land
10 the other.
Weather forecasts, when the bureau
was first instituted. something like
thirty years ago. were more or less
guesswork. Sometimes the observers
were right. sometimes they were wrong.
And IL must be said that in the early
DAYS they were oftener wrong than
right. Today a forecast that proves tc
be Ineorreet is widely commented on
The hundreds upon hundreds that are
right are not talked OF for the good
and sufficient reason that they have
come TO be expected.

CHANGE INAUGURATION DATE.

The Herald has received from the
national committee on the Inauguration
date, a committee composed OF many
eminent men, a statement to the effect
that the members are agreed on one
thing. That is. the date Of the inaug-
uration of our president should be
changed. 1t is hardly necessary, or at
least il should not be necessary, TO dis
cuss now the desirability OF changing
this date.
In a large majority OF cases the
fourth OF March is in Washington at
tended by weather of the most dis
agreeable character. There is usually
a cold rain or a wet Snow falling and
the air is always damply cutting. II
it were possible to trace them we have
no doubt it would be found that hum
dreds OF cases OF disease and death
have been caused by exposure incident
to attendance at Inaugural ceremonies.
II may be said that nobody except
the president and the chief justice is
obliged to be present at the Inaugural
ton of q president. This is, strictly
speaking. correct. but there are hun
dreds OF individuals. such as members
Of congress, diplomatic representa-
tives of foreign countries, new cabinet
officers and the like who would feel
that they would be guilty OF a grave
breach OF ethics if they failed TO
attend. So they go, even though they
know they are running the risk Of
serious illness and possible death.
These are some Of the reasons why
the date should be changed. There is
none why it should not be. The COM
mittee is disagreed only as to the new
date. Some favor April so, the date on
which Washington was first inaug-
urated. There is a pretty sentiment in
/ this, one that would be we'll worth
considering if it were not for the fact
1 that April 30 will some day fall on
Sunday, thereby causing some embar-
rasment. This is a disadvantage not
possessed by March /, which never
] falls on Sunday in an Inauguration
year. a fact that was taken into con-
| sideration when the date was named.
Another, and it seems 10 us a better,
/ suggestion is for the last Thursday in
| April. BY that time the weather in
Washington is usually fine and there
would be no risk OF exposure to be
considered by Inauguration attendants.

science is necessarily slow. -Four hun
dred years of unremittin observation
and study were necessary in order 10
bring astronomy up to It's present high
standard Of accuracy and It must be
expected that the complex problems of
neteoroiogy viii require time for theiT
elueidation. The last thirty years has
Witnessed such remarkable progress in
new branches Of science that fields OF
research formerly closed to the mete-
orologist are now open TO him and
justly can not be neglected.

should be given every encouragement
IN It's work.
