Washington, June I8.-Last bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
the continent % to 27, warm wave 22
to 26,. cool wave rs to 20. This dis
turbance is not expected to be severe.
1t will develop most force on the Pa
cifc slope and grow nilder as it pro-
crosses eastward. Some rains are ex-
pected in the upper Ohio valleys, about
and west of Houston, in the lower Mis-
souri, valleys, at scattering places along
the Atlantic coast and on northern
coast of the Gulf of Mexico, but gen
eral canditions of crop weather will be
that of drouth with much damage to
growing crops, particularly oats and
corn.
The last disturbance of June will
reach the Pacific coast about 2S, cross
Pacific slope by close of 20, great cen
trail valleys 80 to July 2, eastern sec
tions 3. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about 28, great central valleys 80,
eastern sections July 2. Cool wave
will cross Pacific slope about July I,
great central valleys 3, eastern sections

will be greater than in preceding storm
waves, but it will not be very danger

Pittsburg eastward, with heavy rains
along the Atlantic coasts.

The latter declared that if peace
were not reached the struggle would
spread, threatening to take out on
sympathetic strike all members of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Firemen
and Enginemen and of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers. The
railroad officials have made a strong
fight in the past two days. and. al
though thousands of dollars worth of
perishable goods have been lost, and
the interests of manufacturers along
the lines have been severely crippled
by the sudden suspension of freight
traffic, the company has been able to
show an improved service with each
day.
The strikers were confident that the
inability of the company to move
freight would bring them to terms
but the road seems to have developed
unknown strength and freight is be-
ing moved to such an extent that the
strikers are discussing new moves.

So, 900, 900 PICTURE is
SOLEN FROM PARIS

1t is reported from Paris today that
Leonardo Da Nincfs great painting,
Mona Lisa, was stolen from the
Louvre galleries less than eight weeks
ago. A copy, according to the report,
was put in the place of the original.
The genuine painting is said to be in
New York, and the possessor is de-
clared to be an unidentified New York
millionaire.
The painting ranks in value with
RaphaePs Sistine Madonna, and it has
long been a matter of art gossip that
the British Government offered S.
600, 900 for it, which offer was refused.
The following is a description of the
painting:
This worId-renowned portrait was
completed about 1904, but the artist
did not consider il finished. 1t had
been in hand for four years. Leon
ardo never liked to part from his
work. He was unwilling to finish. More
and ever more seemed TO be required,
as the idea grew in his mind into a
completely as intricate and a detail
as minute as Natures own. That was
a falling in him; for art cannot equal
or approach nature in such qualities.
A work of art is a vision of nature,
not a repetition of her. Mona Lisa
was the daughter of Antonio Maria di
Noldo Gherardini, of Naples. and be-
came the third wife of Zanobi del
Giocondo. That is why she is often
called La Gioconda. The picture was
painted for the husband. but it soon
became the property of Francis ] of
France, who paid an extraordinary
price for it. Thus it passed into the
Louvre. It's high reputation is no
modern growth. Raphael initiated
this portrait almost as soon as it was
painted. Vasari, who saw it before
the colors had darkened and the shad-
ows grown Opaque, praised the won

MADRIz MUST GET

State Department of America Has

Forced TO Leave.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Special.-
An absolute surrender of all of Ma
driz's pretensions to the presidency of
Nicaragua is the one condition which
the State Department will accept from
the Madriz ENJOYS, Modesto Barrios
and Sebastian Salinas, when they pre-
sent their case after their arrival in
Washington next week. No terms
which provide for the continuation of
the Madriz administration will receive
the slightest consideration.
The retirement of MadriZ, the elm
ination of Zelaya, and the positive
assurance OF a fair and open election
Of a constitutional presidency are alb
solutely essential to any understand
ing between the Madriz agents and
the department.
This is the firm attitude of Secre-
tary Knox. Barrios and Salinas, who
left Colon last Monday, are expected
TO reach Washington next Tuesday,
when they will have an opportunity
to present their cause To the diplo-
matte officer of the department,
Thomas c. Dawson, who has received
all the representations of Luis Corea
and Salvador CastrillO. the diplomatic
agents in Washington of the MadriZ
and Estrada factions.

it may take to guarantee a fair cleo
