The rain in this CITY and vicinity yes
terday morning was followed by clear
weather early in the afternoon. The
temperature later rose somewhat. ana
about 4 O'Clock rain, accompanied oy
thunder and lightning, passed southeast
az Alexandria. Lightning continued
To fash and distant thunder could at
times be heard. After dark brilliant
flashes in the southern heavens we're
incessant while the moon and stars
we're shining brilliantly over the city.
About. ten O'Clock the northern
heavens we're at SHORT intervals iIlum-
ined by electric flashes, accompanied
bv distant thunder, The cloud grad
lallv drew nearer and about quarter
past eleven o'clock it broke. The light
ming by this time become more vivid
and the crashes OF thunder awakened
most people who had fallen asleep.
The wind soon gathered force. and as
limbs we're twisted from trees and shut
tiers slammed considerable apprehen-
sion was caused. Rain soon began 70
fall in binding sheets, and, driven by
the wind against windows, rendered 1t
almost impossible for the inmates OF
houses to discern objects across the
streets.
At this juncture hailstones began to
strike window panes The worst OF the
storm was shortlived, however, and IN
about ten minutes time the wind had
materially subsidized, although rain con-
tinued to fall while the lightning was
still inceSsant:
The rain finally ceased, though but
for short time, rs another and more
heavy downpour followed in the wake
OF the storm. 1t was unaccompanlcd by
wind, however. The heavens became
clear and serene conditions followed.
Fortunately the excursion steamers
had landed their passengers about an
hour before the storm struck the city.
The steamer Jane Moseley with large
party OF coIored excursionlsts from
Glymont blew for her landing while
the last rain was falling, but by the
time the boat reached her wharf it had
almost ceased The excursionlstS say
they did not encounter the storm on
the way up the river.
A number of trees were blown down
in different sections Of the city, while
many limbs were twisted from others
and hurled through the air. Three
trees were Frustrated and two telephone
poles blown down in the neighborhhood
of Cameron and Pitt streets. The
damage to property, however, was
slight. Some fencing was broken
down in parts of the city by falling
trees or limbs and telephone and other
wires were Frustrated.
People from Alexandria county re-
port that rain. hail, thunder and light
ming, accompanied by a high wind
prevailed in that section about the time
the storm was raging here, Residents
of lower Fairfax, however, say there
was only light rain in their ncighbor-
hoods.
The storm was severe on Seminary
Hill and in Washington, although no
serious damage resulted.
The storm passed into Maryland,
opposite this city Trees were blown
down, but no serious damage to property
is reported.

COUNTRY IS BEHIND BILL
Administrations Measure Has the
B~cking of the Voters of
the Nation.

According to a number of reports
and Indications, the railroad corpora
tions of the country will not seriously
oppose the administration bill ex-
tending the powers of the commerce
commission and providing fo- the con-
troll of railroad finance. Only one road
was represented at the general hear
ing by the house committee. There
will be NJ lobbying; the railroads will
abide by the logic of events.
There is excellent sense in the posi-
tion taken by the railroad men. The
bill Is being carefully considered, and
1t will be duly debated on the floor of
the senate and house. Amendments
of importance have been and will be
offered, some concessions have been
made, but the party and the admins
tration are committed to measure
"clinching, extending and improving
the Hepburn rate act. which, as all
recognize, has merely produced num-
berless lawsuits by its provisions for
regulating charges upon complaint.
To fight the essential features of
the administration bill would be to
furnish ammunition to the advocates
of even more drastic legislation. More.
over, the failure of the cardinal meas.
ures OF the Republican party, and
do-nothing session generally, would al.
most certainly result in the election
of radical house next fall. Reac.
tion is impossible with public senti'
ment as 1t is. and stagnation would
simply be regarded as reaction play.
ing for delay.
In well-considered reasonable
road prosperity, and practical pru.
dence dictates the cheerful acceptance
of such measure

Why Kettles Sino.

The reason a kettle sings" is a
very simple one. AS the water gets
hot little bubbles of steam are found
at the bottom of the kettle. These in
their rush upward strike the sides of
the kettle and set the metal it is
made of in vibration. thus causing the
humming sound we call singing. You
will notice a copper kettle, which has
thin sides, will make much louder
and more musical note than a com
mon iron kettle.
