WET AND WINDY.
Weather Disturbance in Dakota Is
Headed This Way.

The weather man gave it out this after
noon that he has his weather eye on a
wet and windy disturbance" out in Dakota
which seems to be inclined to pay Wash
ington a visit. This wild western storm
is said to be raining pitchforks and
things When asked this afternoon as to
the probability of the rainy condition ex-
tending to the District of Columbia, he
said:
1T is travelling eastward now, but
whether 1t will hold out to reach here is as
yet problematical. 1t may meet with a
meteorological hold-up at the ridge of the
Rockies, or 1t may encounter dry area ON
the way and be put out of the ra:nmaking
business
Other meteorological conditions through
out the country are reported to be normal,
and there We're no high temperatures re-
ported today. 1t is the belief of the fore
caster that dry weather may be expected.

NEW YORK, August 28.-It Is understood
that the sharp decline in the stock market
Saturday was due chiefly to renewal Of
decidedly unpleasant rumors regarding the
financial strength OF certain local firms and
also to rumors Of an early announcement
OF important commercial failures. Some OBJ
Servers believe that these stories were put
in circulation by the bear party because OF
Its fear that the market might be turned
upward sharply at any time.
Those who are giving the closest atten-
ton to market conditions believe that prices
have finally reached levels where small in
vestors will be steady buyers on all weak
spots. They think that the market will
rally to the extent of three or four points
on the investment buying and on short COW
ering whenever it becomes oversold.
The proposed acquisition of the Chicago
and Alton by the Glover Leaf is regarded
territory served by the two roads as being
mutually beneficial. They are certain that
1t will relieve the Rock Island of an I'M
pleasant situation and will give both the
Alton and the Glover Leaf new important
connections and outlets.

Frightful eleven thousand Africans

how much territory Great Britain has
grabbed since Germany began to
colonize the African possessions?
And how much christian civilization
England exemphfied in devastating
the Beers country, Transvaal?
And will You also give reason why
the Herero tribes left their homes;
and who invited them to rebel against
the parent government Of Germany?
And what is the proper reason,
why England does not prevent the
famine occurring in India, where mil
lions die every year because England )
christian civilization lacks the proper
understanding Of its problems.
Was this article put In to keep an
eye on Germany. who does mol. med
die with the tribes Of the English
colonies but tries to make the best
.of the situation? Is it not a fact that
these Hereros could have lived peace

GREAT BRITAIN HAS ONE COL
oNY THAT NEEDS
HELP.

London, May 9.-The presence Of
the colonial premiers from all quarters
of the globe has set some Of them
thinking that Great Britain has one
colony that is in rather a bad way.
Nobody stops, generally, to think
about it, even when the King and
Queen have been spending some time
there. We have very vague idea Of
Valetta, and also Of the existence Of
problems arising out of the mixed ma
aure Of the population Of the little
island, that is all. To Maltese, Malta
must have rather sad appearance.
An increasing population find its cul-
tiyable area continually reduced for
purposes Of defense. Port Said is now
the coaling station for all vessels com
Ing home through the canal, and only
vessels from the Black Sea and Asia
Minor need coal at Malta; and more
over, an unenlightened fiscal policy
encourages corn-growing in an island
that should be devoted to other things.

MINORITY LEADER
LOOKS LIKE MINORITY LEADER
HAD BEEN SELECTED FOR
NEXT SENATE
WANTED PROOF.

Washington, D. c., May at now
begins to look very much as though
Senator Charles A. Culberson has the
best chance Of being chosen minority
leader In the Senate next December.
According to report Senator Culberson
now claims he has enough pledges
from Democratic associates to SEE
cure his election. y.
Senator Culberson is now serving
his second term in the upper branch
of the national legislature and there
are few members Of that body of wild
er political experience. He has been
in public life continuously since 1890,
in which year he was elected attorney
general in Texas. Subsequently he
served four years as governor of his
state and he has been in the Senate
since 1899. At the two last Demo
cratic national conventions he served
as chairman Of the Texas delegation.
He comes by his inclination for poll
tics naturally, as his father was a
member Of Congress from Texas for
twenty-five years. $@a.
With Congress in a long session
just prior to the presidential campaign
Senator Culberson, as minority lead
er, would have unusual opportunity
for focusing the attention Of the coun-
try upon his party.

they rebelled against civilization and
went their own way and had to suffer
the consequences.

ARE CUT OUT.

Wilmington, Del, May 9.The leg.
islature Of Delaware has amended the
laws on divorce so as to forbid star

and to require that all argument that
publicity will prove one Of the most
effective means Of preventing col1u-
sion between the parties and will also
act as a deterrment against the per
manent separation Of married couples
who would shrink from the publicity
of trial and probably be led on sec

ences. The correct theory OF law is
that it should be openly administered.

MOVEMENTS or JAP SHIPS ARE
WATCHED CLOSELY BY
NAVAL MEN.

Norfolk, Va, May 8. American
naval officers are watching with great
interest the appearance and move
ments Of the Japanese armored cruis-
er Tsukuga. Their interest is ex.
planned, first. by the fact that this ship
with speed on natural draught OF
about % knots, which is better than
any Of our cruisers can do, was turn
ed out from q Japanese shipyard, the
workmen Of which are just beginning
naval obstruction; yet, according to-
naval experts the ship is perfect IN
every detail; second, that the Tsukuga
was under commission and on the
high seas within two years from the
time her keel was laid down in Japan.
No such speed Of construction as this
has ever been attained in American
shipyards, at least where naval work
was concerned. and the best British
record, namely, in the case -of the
Dreadnought, is only slightly better
than that made by the Japanese ship
wrights IN the building Of the Tsn.
