EDGE OF THE STORM HERE
Hiqh Winds and Rain Pre-
oicted for Washington
and Vicinity.

The terrific storm that last night de-
vastated large areas in the middle west
is not expected to extend as far east as
Washington, though an edge OF the storm,
in the form Of high winds and rain, may
affect this part Of the country today and
tomorrow.
The weekly bulletin Of the weather bu-
reau, issued today, forecasts stormy and
changeable weather the entire week. and
over practically the entire United States.
The storm which was central Sunday
over the Rocky mountain region, says the
bulletin, will move rapidly northeast, ac-
companied by shifting gales. The storm
probably will be preceded by rains and
much higher temperatures at the begin
ming of the week throughout the eastern
and southern states and along the middle
Atlantic; in the northwest the storm will
be attended by SHOWS.
This storm will be followed by decidedly
colder weather over the entire middle
west and much lower temperatures will
extend over the entire country east of
the Mississippi river Tuesday and We'd
nesday.
Another disturbance of widespread in
fuence," the weather bureaus bulletin
continues. will develop in the far west
about Wednesday or Thursday, move
eastward, attended by rains in the south
and probably snow or rain in sthe north.
and cross the great central valleys Thurs
day or Friday and the eastern states late

The Red Cross likewise instructed L.
T. Lies OF Chicago and c. NJ Hubbard

heroic measures. Late this forenoon no
adviceS had been received at the Red

As the second division of the army,

LESS CRUELTY IN KONGO.
Marked Improvement Is Shown in
General Conditions.
Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON March


LONDON, March IA, 1913.
A further installment of the CORE
spondence on teh affairs of the Kongo,
embracing the period from the end OF
November, 1911. to the end Of January
of the present year. has been issued as a
white paper. The various documents
contained in the volume afford an in
structive insight into the new conditions
in the Kongo and indicate q marked i'm
provement upon the old.
Abuses and atrocities still occur. as the
reports OF the Rev. John Harris and
some other missionaries, as we'll as the
memorial to Sir E. Grey from the Kongo
Reform Association. quoted in the CORE
spondence, amply prove. Also the gem
eral economic and social conditions Of the
natives still slave much to be desired
Nevertheless, even Mr.. Harris. as quoted
by Mr.. Consul Lamont In his report Of
January IL, 1912, Is prepared to admit
that 1.-The day Of atrocities has passed.
and that brutality only shows itself In
isolated cases; further, that the general
trend of opinion and activity 10 now frm-
~ set against them" Mr.. Harris also Is
"inclined to believe that the collection of
the head tax il being carried on with less
harshness than formerly. and that ma
tives proving inability to pay are accord
tG measure OF consideration"

Mr.. HITCHCOCK ANXIOUS
FOR NEWS FROM OMAHA
Senator Has Had No Reply to Tele-
gram to Daughter Living
There.

Senator Gilbert NJ Hitchcock of Ne
braska, who owns a newspaper in Omaha
and whose married daughter lives in the
devastated city, had received no word d.
rect from Omaha up to a late hour this
afternoon. Senator Hitchcock said that
he had wired to his daughter early this
morning, but was inclined to think MS
telegram had not gone through, or hao
been delayed, because of the large volume
of business being done over the crippled
telegraph lines entering Omaha.
THE press dispatches from Omaha
said Senator Hitchcock this afternoon
.'eive me an excellent idea OF the course
Of the tornado. 1t evidently struck IN
the western suburban lesideutlal secuou
of the city, where are located the homes
