THE MOBILE STORM
MORE SEVERE IN THE CITY THAN
 THE COUNTRY.
Records of the Weather Bureau Show That Wind Reached High
 Velocity and the Rainfall Was Heavy.
Advertlser-Bureau,

Mobile. Sept. '. ' Last nights storm, SO far as could rt. learned today, was much severer here than elsewhere in the County, SC far as the volume of water and wind velocity were concerned. The first warning of an approaching storm be- came manifest about 6 o'clock, when low muttering thunder was heard from the north. A similar experience was had the night previous, but as there was no rain or lightning of any inten- sity it was thought the clouds would again blow away.
 Such was not the case, however. and at n few minutes before [, aIter sprinkle, the rain came down Tn tor rents The lightning pealed terrincal- Buildings were in total darkness and it was learned today that both telephone jcompAnies suffered damages through connections being burned out
 No buildings were injured in the city. but, as noted in last nights spe- ~iai A neatly built cottage in Oakdale, with much of it's contents, was de- stroyed The house was owned and oc- cupied by J. R. Genscrt. Many resi- dents turned out in spite of the torren- ftai rain and formed a bucket brigade, succeeding in saving adjoining prop sertv. The loss will reach $f,500. For sfunately Mrs. Gensert, fearing the inn tDendin9 storm, had taken her children land gone to Monroe Park seeking q lsafe haven. But for this there might have been a loss of life.
 The lightning, from reports of resident of Oakdale.g was unusually severe in that vicinity. Terror reign ed. even among the men of the su- burb. One stroke of lightning struck 4he cupola of the Methodist church in the north end of Oakdale, but the damage was slight. That more dam age was not resultant from the storm ,ds considered fortunate.
 The following data of last nights 8 storm in Mobile was obtained this morning from Weatherman Ashenber- ger:
 A Night rain began falling at 6:2o o'clock. At 6:46 the downpour be- came very heavy and continued until 8:11 o'clock. During this period the prec.pitation was 296 inches. The heasiest fall was in the nineteen min ntet from 7:43 to S:02 o'clock, when the instrument recorded a precipitation of ss inch. The wind velocity at onN tine reached twenty-seven miles per honr.
 The heaviest rainfall prior to last night, according to the books of the weather bureau, was October 10, 1905, when, for twenty-four hours, the to-
 tai precipitation was .63 inches. There were no instruments in use then Is now to give the minute details.

That Americans are much given to law making is an old and well estab-
 lished fact, amply borne out by statis- tics all over the country. Of the mak- ing of many new books there is no end, ,--and thus it is as to making new laws. Frequent revisions of the stat utes is necessary in consequence, in order to eliminate laws that have been killed or replaced by others, and to keep record of the new ones. Nearly
 15,000 new laws were enacted in the United States last year. These applied to about everything conceivable that would come within the scope of law making. They ranged from definitions of the graver crimes punishable by the penal code to corporation statutes, rail- road rates, police rules, health regula- tions, automobile speeding regulations, the keeping of domestic animals, shoot ing, fishing and a multitude of other subjects. There is too much legislation and too little investigation. The suc- cess attending recent Investigations in New York, unearthing scandals, graft and corruption, have done more in a few weeks than the New York insur- ance code of nearly two hundred pages, and the insurance departments of many states. Legislatures can promote the health of the body polite by inquiring into existing evils, and probing where probing is most needed,
 Some funny new bills have just been introduced in the Massachusetts legis- lature to regulate automobiles. One provides that every automobile or mo- tor cycle used or operated in this Commonwealth shall be equipped, while in use, with gong or bell which shall sound or strike with every revolution of the wheels" Another says that no or motor cycle shall be reg istered in this Commonwealth, or shall be used in any public way in this State, unless it is so geaFed as to be incapa- ble of a speed exceeding the maximum limit of the speed established by law.

ty-two Jewish candidates for seats in the new parliament only nine are known to have been defeated, so that the number will in all likelihood be in- creased. The greatest number of Jews in the parliament was twelve, at the end of the last session, while in the be- ginning of the session there were only ten. It is not yet fifty years since Jews were admitted to parliament, the first Jew elected being Baron de Roths- child, father of the present Lord Roths- child, who was elected in 1S47, but not seated until 1858, The first Jew Who was a candidate for a seat in parlia- ment was Sir David Salomons, who was also the first to take his seat in the parliament, and was fined for illegal voting, as he had not taken the oatn Ion the true faith of a Christian" The Jewish candidates for seats in parlia- ment were almost evenly divided be- tween the liberals and the unionisrs.

DIFFER ENT,

It is something quite out of the ordi- nary-astonishing, in fact-4to find general blaming himself in his own off, ficial reports of his own campaigns and especially striking is this when d great general points out in his report wherein he erred and could have done better. Old soldiers of our civil war were fa- miliar with glowing official reports from generals who had done everything right, but somehow had accomplished nothing at all except to retreat How strikingly different is General Nogis report of his army's operations. In this report the captor of Port Arthur se- verely planes himself for failures in his flanking movements at Mukden, stating that his delay in throwing forces against the Russians right rear saved Kuropatlin from annihilation.
 This is a serious charge that General. Nogi makes against himself. It is in- teresting to see that Japanese public sentiment acquits him of it. However, the record of the battle of Mukden left a good deal to sustain the accusation If history decides that Nogi Is right in his report, 1t will lessen his estimation as strategist, but 1t will rather in- crease his fame as chivalrous soldier. Somebody on the Japanese side was to blame for Kuropatkin's escape, and 1t is creditable to Nogi's Samurai qualities that he is willing to take the blame on himself Perhaps the real cause of the failure after all was Kuropatkin.

OUR CHINESE FRIENDS.

The generous treatment of the Chi nese by the United States at the time 'of the Boxer rebellion seems to have been utterly lost upon China. Chinese hostility to this country, which has de- veloped of late, is marked and virulent. The Chinese boycott of American goods is justly awakening great deal of at tention in this country, and this antip- athy to Americans is placing many American exporters in very difficult position. The boycott of American goods is, according to the views of Rev. Arthur Smith (who has been active in the Chinese missionary field for about thirty years), but a symptom of the prevailing Chinese estimate of this country, and he thinks it is destined to become more forceful rather than less so, unless some remedy is found quick ly. Dr. Smith says: "The trade of the East is a greater question for the Unit ed States to face to-day than the Pan anna canal, which Is but small part of the great problem. Lose the trade of the East and of what value will the canal be to this country? Instead of being a gateway to trade it will lead into a cul de sac. And lose this trade we certainly will if the present increas- ing Chinese mistrust of the United States is allowed to go on"
 Americans do not realize the extent to which this hatred of the United States has grown, according to Dr. Smith, A Chinese woman will not now use American four though she knows the Chinese flour is mouldy and almost uneatable. A young man who had studied in this country came home and talked over the situation with his fath- CT. Then he took out into the yard his American graphophone and cut it to pieces with an axe. The family then went through the house, seeking out everything that was Americans and all that they found. And these were educated and comparatively intelligent Chinese. Until this feeling among the Chinese is changed, says Dr. Smith, there can be no hope for Amer ican trade in the East. It will grow worse until it begins to grow better.
 This country, realizing the hostility towards us, is taking action to lessen the existing friction and perhaps cause a turn of feeling in China that will much abate the boycott. A radical re- vision of the existing regulations, under which the higher grades of Chinese, at least, may enter and reside in the Unit ed States, seems to be the only feasible step to be taken, and is now likely to be accomplished.
