RIVER PROPHETS SAY RAIN.
Dry Summer and Fall Yet to Be
COMPENSATED For.

If credence can be placed in prophe-
sizes of weatherwise Potomac water
men. the next two months will be
rainy.
Rivermen all testify that the rainfall
Of each year is about the same IL vol
une; II 1t does not rain at one tine of
the year 1t will come at another. A
period Of protracted drought, they OBJ
serve. is followed by wet weather.
As this summer and fall have been
exceptionally dry and the rainfall Is
about SIX inches less than normal, then
plenty, or more than plenty. Of rain and
snow are due to fall In November and
December to average up the year. Many
weatherwise rivermen look for more
snow than rain In the latter part of
their belief on the fact that the fall
i.as been SO pleasant and mild that bad
Gather is bound to follow shortly.

Officers and men of the District Naval
Militia are still in difficulties over their
pay. Last Friday the men believed
which they were entitled for duty
aboard the battleshp Rhode Island
during the annual cruise. The bureau
of supplies and accounts and the mil
itia division of the Navy Department
had approved all of the vouchers and
the only matter which was then hold
ing it up was the check in payment for
the raticns of the men aboard the
Rhode Island. The naval militiamen
were informed that when this check
was received the officers and men
would be paid.
However, this check was to be sent
yesterday to the bureau OF supplies
and accounts, when a lengthy COM
vision calling for an additional amount
on account of rations from the Rhode
Island. This letter was written long
after the bureau of supplies and ac-
counts had given its approval to the
original vouchers for the amount Ger
titled by the paymaster of the Rhode
Island as being due him. There were
wide discrepancies in the amount first
certified by the militia division as being
due and the amount called for in the
letter received Yesterday.
The bureau of supplies and accounts,
when informed of the discrepancies
| over the telephone by an officer of the
naval militia, admitted it was too
hard for them and declared that the
militia division had been handling the
whole matter.
Officers of the District Naval Militia
are making an attempt to straighten
out the matter of discrepancy between
the first charge and the second charge
which came nearly two months later.
They declare that the pay already has
been delayed too long by the tactics
Of the militia division of the Navy
Department.
