osity, to know what it all really
means.
The storms of the United States fol-
low, however, year after year a series
of tracks, not capricious, but related to
each other by very well defined laws.
The positions of these tracks have
been determined carefully for the
United States by studies made in thu
forecast division Of the weather bu-
reau, on the long series of maps that
have been made during the past twenty
years. The track that the central
point of a high area or that the center
of storm follows in passing over the
country from west to east is laid down
on individual charts, these are collect
ed on group chart. and from this the
averaS~ track pursued can be readily
described. The chart herewith (see
page four) shows the general result of
study Of tracks of storms in the
United States. It indicates that. IN
general, there are two sets of tracks
running westerly and easterly, one set
over the northwestern boundary, tie
Lake region, and the ST. Lawrence
Valley; the other set over the middle
Rocky Mountain districts and the GULF
States. Each of these is double. with
one for the thighs" and one for the
lows" Furtherfore, there are lines
crossing from one main track to an
other showing how storms pass from
one to the other. The transverse
broken lines show the average daily
movement. On the chart the heavy
lines all belong to the tracks of the
highs" and the lighter lines to the
lows" Let us trace them somewhat
in detail. A high" appearing on the
California coast may cross the mou,l-
tains near Salt Lake, and then pass
directly over the belt of the Gulf
States to the Florida coast; or it may
move farther northward, cross the
Rocky Mountains In the state of
Washington, up the Columbia River
Valley, then turn east, and finally
reach the Gulf of st. Lawrence. The
paths are determined by the laws Of
the general circulation of the atmos-
phere and the confguration of the
North American Continent This move
ment Of the highs" from the middle
Pacific coast to Florida or to the Gulf
OF St Lawrence is confined to the
summer half of the year-April to
September, inclusive.
In the winter months. on the other
hand, the source Of the highs is
different, though they reach the same
terminals. In the months October to
March, inclusive, many highs" enter
the United States near the one hun
dred and fifteenth meridian and move
south along the Rocky Mountain slope
into the southern circuit, and thus
reach the South Carolina coast; or
else they turn more abruptly east
ward and move in the northern circuit
over the Lakes to Newfoundland. The
chief difficulty in the art Of forecasting
is to decide which of these paths will
be pursued and the probable rate at
which the movement will take place.

REDUCTION ORDERED
 IN FREIGHT RATES
Interstate Commerce Commission Acts
 in Pacific Coast Cases.

Washington, July 24.-In what are known as the Spokane-Re Pacific coast cases, the interstate commerce commission today ordered material re- duction in freight rates from the east to points between Denver and the western terminals of. the great trans continental railroads
 For many years the railroads have exacted from shippers to intermediate points. such as Spokane and Reno, higher rates on eastern freights than were charged for the much longer hauls to Seattle, San Francisco and other Pacific coast points. The theory has been that the railroads must meet water competition to the Pacific coast. The higher rates to intermediate points, arbitrarily fixed. have been de- tended by a comparison with the coast rates plus a theoretical back haul from the coast to the inland stations along the line.
 The commission recognizes the right of a railroad to meet water competi- tion to Pacific coast points, but prac- tically wipes out the back haul rates to inter- Rocky mountain territory. 1t lays down what it considers would be fair and just rates to various freight zones in the west and gives the rail- roads until October Is to adjust their tariffs accordingly.
 The decisions announced late today are of far-reaching importance. They affect directly ali of the freight rates between the Atlantic ocean and the Pacific coast.

 caustic Comment by London Papers.

London, July 25.-Lord Lansdowne has sent a circulAr to all the unionist peers asking whether they are prepar- ed to support him. One hundred and nine have already replied in the affirm ative.
 In Interest of Home Rule.
 The Marquis of Londonderry in letter to paper urges his party to support Lord Landsowne on the ground that acceptance of the parliamentary bill would still leave the house of lords bowed to delay the home rule bill for two years, while if peers were ere ated wholesale an Irish parliament might be established in Dublin next year, and, once established, it could not be abolished without difficulty and danger.
 HBad Temper and Worse Manners"
 The Daily Telegraph, which supports Lord Lansdowne, in an editorial this morning severely denounces the insult offered to the premier yesterday by in- surgent unionists as disgusting ex- hibition of bad temper and worse man ners.

 But the Morning Post, the Standard and other unionist organs, represent ing the insurgent side, exhibit not the sligiitst ccnlnuppunction. Instead they bitterly attack MT.

AUTO RUN DOWN AT
 A GRADE CROSSING
Chauffeur Killed and Two Women
 Passengers Badly Injured.

Long Island City. L. l., July 24.- One person was killed and two wo- men were badly injured this afternoon when a westbound Long Island. rail- road train struck an automobile at the Thompson avenue crossing in Winfield.
 The women were rushed to- St. Johns hospital here. They gave their names as Mrs. John Gilroy of the Ho- tel Plaza. New York, and Mrs. John Goddard of Flushing.
 The chauffeur, whose name is not known, was killed. The machine is said to have belonged to Mrs. GNlroy.
 Mrs. Goddard, who is the wife of Charles H. Goddard, general manager of the American Druggist syndicate, was caught under the overturned car, the gas tank of which exploded.
 Besides being badly burned, she is suffering from fractured bones and a fractured skull. It is not believed, however, that she is mortally hurt. Mrs. Gilroy was thrown clear of the wreckage and is suffering mostly from shock.
 The motorman of the train. Harry Lefferts, says that he blew his whis- tie at the customary place, but inas- much as the crossing is supposed to be guarded with gates he did not attempt to slacken his speed until he was fair ly upon the automobile.

ANOTHER CASE OF
 CHOLERA IN NEW YORK
Orderly Who Attended Spanish Ps-
 tient, Stricken Down.

New York. July 24-Physicians at Bellevue hospital reported tonight to the board of health another case of ill., ness at the hospital, which they fear is Asiatic cholera. The sick man is Edgar Hermann, an orderly, who at- tended Manuel Bermudes. the Spanish sailor, who was removed on Saturday to Swinburne island. One of the syrnp- toms of cholera has already appea <ed in aggravated form and bacteriolosi- cal examination has been begun to reveal the true nature of Herrmann's illness.
 The hospital authorities have asked the board of health for an expert to diagnose the case.
 At quarantine, where Bermude and the other victims are improving. the outlook is regarded as bright. The steamer Perugia was given 8 clean bill of health and released today, the bac- astrological examination of the passen- gers of the Principe di Piemonte is progressing favorably and the passen- gers of the Moltke will be released tomorrow from their long detention.
 The quarantine was lifted today from two families in the house at Red Bank, Staten Island, from which Patrick F. Gushing. the former Hofr- man island watchman. was taken two weeks ago to die at Swinburne island.

 WRECK OF MAINE.
BONES PILED UP IN A HEAP
Evidently Remains of Men Who Were Sleeping on Open Deck at Time of ExpIosion-Derricks Being Placed.

Havana, July 24.-The remains of three or four more bodies-the precise number has not been determined were recovered today from the wreck most of them fractured and placed in a confused heap. Some of them show ed the action of fire.
 All Found in Same Place.
 All were found lying near the place where recently were discovered other members of the crew who are SUD- posed to have been sleeping on the open deck on the night of the expIo- sion.
 Officeres' Quarters Covered With Mud.
 Exploration of the after berth deck. including the wardroom and officers quarters, is still imoossible on account of the accumulation of mud. This probably will be washed out in the next few days. The coffer dam is now dry, except for pools of water due to the operation of the pumps which are engaged in cleaning out the interior.
 After Section May Be FIoated.
 Thehe is now fairly good reason to hope that the main bulkhead immedi- ately aft of the central superstructure at which point the hull apparently was severed, retains sufficient strength to justify the expectation that the after section of the ship, constituting one tn1TQ ~OI US COIdl length, may De uOdI- ed.
 Forward Section Looks Like Dump.
 Forward of this point the destruction was so great that, viewed from the wall of the coffer dam nearest the bow, the wreck of the battleship resembles nothing so much as the dumping place for tin cans, rusty iron and refuse in slimy pools, such as is common on the outskirts of any American village, but magnified a thousandfoldA
 Mud Pumps at Work.
 The mud pumps are now in full op- eration but the lowering of the level of the slime surrounding the wreck is hardly perceptible, owing to the up- heaval of mud caused by hundreds of tons of broken stone that have been dumped into the coffer dam to rein force it's walls.
 Derricks Being Erected.
 Derricks and other timber super = structures are now being erected above the wreck for the purpose of removing the masses of metal as fast as they are dissected by hydro-acetelene blasts which will shortly be put into opera fiOn
