STORMS IN EUROPE.

The Italian Riviera has suffered
greatly from the recent storms, and the
weather threatens even moro loss.
Miles of cultivated flowers have been
devastated. San Reno is flooded, and
many OF the residents of that city were
compelled during the night to escape
from windows by means Of ropeladders,
their houses being surrounded with
water. Several persons have been
drowned. The railway between Bor-
dighera and the French frontier has
been interrupted on account OF wash
outs. All the rivers in the north are
at the food point. The Tiber is also
rising fast. A hill on its banks on
which the village OF Pentenueye stands
is being rapidly undermined and its
collapse is threatened.
Spain has been visited by a second
cyclone, even more severe than that
which swept over the western portion of
the country a few days ago. Many
people have been killed or injured and
the low lying districts are flooded every
where. The lower part Of Seville is
submerged, and it is feared that the
entire city will be under water shortly
A railroad bridge at Alcala has been
destroyed and numerous villages III
that region are in critical situation

Brazilian naval forces has ended with

somc time to come.
The mutincers in the garrison, who
composed n battalion Of the marine
corps. numbered about GOO men. Of
these 200 were either killed or wounded.
The others were taken prisoners by
the destroyers while attempting to
escape from the island during the
night.
Two hundred citizens were other
killed or wounded while watching the
bombardment from the streets of the
city or along the waterfront. Many
government buildings were damaged,
including the treasury, the foreign
Office and fine departments Of pubic
works and tclegraphs, all handsome
structures.
Two land batteries, two warships and
several destroyers took part in the bonn
bardment OF the island Saturday, and
twice during the engagement nm arms
tice was allowed for the removal OF the
dead and wounded. Firing ceased en-
tirely late in the evening, but no actual
surrender OF the rebels occurred, the
commanders of the government forces
deeming it the wiser course to await tho
coming Of day. The destroyers, how

mutineers made concerted effort tr

Rio Janeiro, Dec. 12.-Order once
more prevails on Cobras island, where
the mutinous troops are under arrest.
The number OF casualties reported
among the citizens as result of the
bombardment of the city, was greatly
exaggerated. The deaths on shore
will not exceed ten, with possibly a
score injured. The rebel dead and
injured, however. is still placed at 200.
The scoutship Rio do Sui, the crew
OF which is believed to have instigated
the revolt, was sent to Santos today,
under a new list Of officers.
The cruiser Barroso was also sent
to another port. Repairs have already

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
MONDAY EVENING. DEC. II

AS will be seen elsewhere, Presi-
dent Taft has determined to make
Associate Justice Edward Douglas
White, OF Louisiana, OF the Supreme
Court OF the United States, chief OF
that tribunal. The new chief justice
is not only q southern man but o
democrat. While many are inclined
to surmise that the president in ap'
pointing Associate Justice White to this
position was animated by self-lnterest
and is merely tossing sop to the
southern section OF the country which
two years hence may return to HIM
as seed sown upon the waters, equally
as many more believe Mr. Taft selected
Mr.. White on his qualifications alone,
as he should have done. While the
people south OF Masons g. Dixon's
line are glad to hear OF the presidents
action, it will doubtless be affirmed
in all parts of the country. The presl-
dent has also appointed another south
ern democrat to the Supreme Court
bench iu the person of Joseph R. La
mar. He was former Supreme Court
Justice OF Georgia. His appointment
will also meet with general approval.

The New Chief Justice.

New York, Dec. 12.-Wall street
views the selection OF Associate Justice
White to be Chief Justice OF the United
States with qualification. Discussing
the subject today, the New York News
Bureau, organ OF The street" says,
under Washington date line:
THE selection OF Justice White
should be regarded with satisfaction by
all conservatives. Among reasons for
this conclusion, two stand out proml-
pently.
"First-Because lie possesses a great
legal mind, q perfound knowledge OF
constitutional law. very clear and
incisive judgment, together with a
knowledge OF precedent and decisions
of the court extending over many
years.
"Second-Because his bent OF mind
is such as to make him an unbiased
Judge, unmoyed by popular clamor
when it comes to deciding upon large
questions involving individual liberty
and rights to property.
It is not wise to try to fix Justice
possible attitude on future cases by
his past decisions, but it is possible
to size up a Justices general mental
attitude.
ION this basis, Justice White is re.
gardcd by the bar as possessing ono
of the greatest legal minds OF this gen,
Grafton. Rights of property and the
rights OF the humblest individual viii
alike receive fair treatment in the de-
cision reached by his clear brain. !"
