WEST INDIAN STORM.
Weather Bureau s avs It Will Not
Touch United States Coast.

According to. advices received at the
weather bureau this afternoon. the West
Indian hurricane is supposed to be flashing
the sea into a fury OF the Florida coast
east Of Jacksonville. The storm will fol-
low the gulf stream. the weather officials
believe. and will finally lose itself at sea.
AS yet the hurricane has not disported It
self over any part Of the dry land" but
has been spending its energies on the bosom
Of the vastly deep. 1t is not believed 1t win
touch any part of the coast Of the United
States. but its effects may be felt at Cape
Hatteras and vicinity when the big blow
reaches the off-shore thereabouts.
Prof. Garriott said to Star reporter that
the center Of the storm is well of the coast
and will continue its travels over the ocean.
1t Is feared that any vessels that may be
caught in it's track may meet with disaster,
although the weather service has given
timely warning to vessel owners of the
movements of the disturbance.
No change in the present local weather
conditions are indicated today, according
to Forecaster Garriott.

and merits a common and united support
from our citizens. In his judgment the
best plan was to conf1ne their action to this
one purpose-the definite apportionment OF
the relative share Of District expenses BE- pe.

District. and in this connection to give q
full exhibit of our financial situation. he
called upon Mr.. L. ]. Davis. member OF

cooperation for the object in view:

with view to the formation OF a commit
tee Of 100 to endeayor to procure from Con-

objects set forth In memorial now before

| ment to believe that real working or

be effected in the shape of q citizens COM
| tion has been received. and that comes
from Mr. Columbus Alexander. who thinks
he smells some ring job in the movement.
While he admits that there Is much In the
| memorial that is very just and commend
able he thinks the reference to the i'm
provement of the Potomac river may be
construed to involve a job which may re-
suit in mourning a further debt to the
District and increased taxation This OBJ
| lection from Mr.. Alexander illustrates the
dfdculty-we might say the utter hopeless
ness-of securing entire harmony Of action
| on behalf OF vital District interests or of
bringing forward any measure of public
good that will not be straightway de-
| nounced by some clique or some suspicious
| individual as having some wrong motive
at the bottom. All In the world the clause
! in regard to the Potomac river contem-
plated was to induce Congress to make
such appropriation for the improvement
Of the river and harbor at the national
| capital as 1t makes every year for the
| improvement of rivers and harbors all over
| the country. There was not a shade of
shadow of a foundation for a suspicion
| that there was any Job In this matter
1t would seem to be impossible that any
man interested in the welfare of the city
could be found to oppose the effort to get
an appropriation from Congress to improve

scourge of the Potomac. But the Potomac
river improvement and other matters re-
ferred to in the memorial are. as hereto

dental objects to the great paramount one
