WEATHER CONDITIONS.

The western storm which extends
from the Rocky mountain plateau to
the upper Missouri valley has been
attended by showers from Washing
ton and Oregon eastward to the Da-
kotas and by a rise in temperature
over the territory from Utah and
Colorado to Iowa and Minnesota.
Showers are also reported from the
lake region and the Atlantic coast,
though moderately high pressures
now prevail from the Atlantic Sec
tons westward to the Mississippi
valley. Another high attended by
low temperatures is central over AL
berta and Saskatchewan and snow
is falling at Helena Mont. Owing
to the presence of the eastern high

House Passed It.
To bring about popular election OF
senators will require a constitutional
amendment, which must pass both
houses Of congress by a two-thirds ma
jority and be ratified by the legisla-
lures Of three-fourths of the states.
The house ma jor1ty WIS so overwhelm-

the negative against 296 in the ahirma-
tive. Among those voting mo" were
former Speaker Cannon and Minority
Leader Mann. Both made speeches
attacking the measure. Mann said that
If this amendment were adopted ii
would be but a short time until the
senators would be elected according
to population. Cooper Of Wisconsin
mildly suggested that this could never

Mann rather vehemently asserted that
1t could. Cooper then got a roar out
