St. Joseph. Mo., June ti.—In
my last letter I pivc forecasts of
a dangerous storm period cover-
ing the time from June 7 to J'S
inclusive, stating that the period
would contain three principal
storm waves, one which. 7th to
11th I particularly described.
The second of these dangerous
storm waves will due to leave the
Pacific coast about the 1 .'ith. cross
i the Rocky-Allegheny valle\ from
1 1 tli to IGtli and reach the Atlan-
tic coast about the 17th. I can-
not say which of these storm
j waves will be of greater force
| but 1 am inclined to believe that
it will be this one. and that its
I most destructive energy wiil be
.expended not far from the center
of the Rocky-Allegheny valley and
not tar from June loth. Follow-
ing this storm wave the weather
will be unusually eooi a;:d i:i
northern latitudes frosts will
occur much farther south 1han is
ordinarily case for this season of
the year. The middle part of J une
will have a few hot days but will
average quite cool with no ex-

be unevenly distributed with too
much in some localities and not
enough in others. This concen-
tration of rainfall in particular
spots as the storm waves pass
across the continent, will lead
many who do not look beyond
what they can see to imagine that
no storm wave is passingynd that
my forecasts ha\e not been veri-
fied. Those who read and ob-
serve. however, will realize that
* j the regular storm pulsations are

.describe the third great storm
wave of the June period of de-
structive storms.
FINLEY ON TORNADOES.
Lieutenant John P. Finley of
the United States weather bureau
[has ha<l the most extensive exper-
ience in the investigation of tor-
!nadoes of any man living and
therefore is the best informed
as to the history of destructive
storms of all those who have giv-
en attention to this subject. He
also stands high as a scientific |
scholar and receiving a good sal-
ary from the United States gov-1
ernment for many years has en- I
abled him to divert his whole time I
to the subject of destructive
storms. He is the champion, the
ileader, the oracle of those who 1
hold that wind alone is the for<" '
or all storms and that all w inds ,
are caused by heated air rising, i
thereby causing a suction, the re- ;
suit being an inflow of atiuos-j
phere to fill the vacuum caused j
; by the rising column of heated
air. This is the old theory of i
storm forces and no man in Ka- i
rope or America is better able to j
uphold that theory than is Lieu- I
, tenant Finley. He has published j
a book on tornadoes and other
destructive storms in which he
gives a record of 5000 storms cov-
| ering a period of more than 200
! years. Besides being a valuable
record the special purpose of his
book, as stated by himself, is to
prove to that the force of the
sas,in the interest of insurance
claimants. Certain parties who
were policy holders had their
property which was insured
against lightning, destroyed by
windstorms and brought suit for
the recovery against the insur-
ance companies on the ground
that both in the popular accep-
tation of the term and in its true
scientific meaning, lightning or
electricity was the cause of all vi-
olent windstorms. This theory
the policy holders tried to main-
tain by every possible means
and in course of the struggle I
was summoned to appear before
the courts as a scientific expert
on the question of the origin and
developments of tornadoes. I
made special preparations for the
engagement and took occasion to
embody the results of my labors
in the 111 in in which they here ap-
pear."
All this proves that Lieutenant
Finley lias put forth in his book
his best efforts to sustain the old
theory that hot air causes the force
of all storms nnd I propose to
show the fallacy of and inconsis-
tency of his arguments. I deny
the correctness of his theory and
atlirm that electiicity is the mov-
ingc force of all storms and now
that we are in the midst of a per-
iod of great tornadoes and other
destructive storms a discussion of
this i>sue will be of more than or-
dinary interest. Mr. Finley cor-
icctly sa\.-i that a practical knowl-
edge of the \arious kinds of
sioinio known to the United
Slates should be one of the sub-
jects of instruction in our public
schools. Very true. But it
should not be forgotten that many
tilings learned in our schools have
to be unlearned through
discussions through the press

FATAL DUEL ON A Tit A IN.
San Antonio, Tex., June t.—-
Ex-Deputy Sheriff Alfred V. Alice
shot and killed W. B. Lowen.j
editor of the Cotulla Ledger, en!
the south bound train I>i!!e\ sta-!
tion. From a passenger on the]
train which arrived here this
evening the correspondent re-
ceived the following account of'
the affair: Bowen had published
an article in his paper reflecting]
on Alice, but they had not met
since the publication of the article
until the shooting to-day.
Howen and his brotlur, V
Bowen, former county attoi
were on their way from San
tonio to Cotulla when Ailec
on the train, and. seeing tin ;n.
went into another coach which
was crowded, and there bein^ no
vacant seats, Allee and Jasper
Symines. who was with him, re-
turned to the car where Bown
and bis brother were seated. As ]
ihey did so W. C. Bowen picked
up his pistol, which he had l\ing
on the seat beside him, and open-
ed fire on Alice, holding the pis-
tol with both hands.
Allee ran toward the Bowen
brothers and tried to draw his
owi pistol, which caught m his
vest. Just as Alice grai>l»ed W.
J. Bowcn's pistol the latter find
it. By this time Allee had his
weapon out and stuck it (Iom1
Bowcn's breast and tired. Bowt n
then tired another shot while Ai-
lec was holding his pistol. Alice
public placed his pistol to Bowcn's hec.d

rectness.
There is no question of greater
importance before the human race
than that of the cause of motion
in our atmosphere. To discover
the real cause means that we may
soon be able to know long in ad-
vance the coming changes in the
weather and this would benefit
mankind to a greater extent than
any other possible revelation,
while to continue our researches
on the old theory advocated by
Lieutenant Finley means another
century of failures for meteor-

THE HA ! A St'RBENDEBS.
Iquiqne, June t.—The Itata ar-
rived this morning with 5000 ritles
a oard and was immediately sur-
rendered to the American admir-
als. McCiiun and Brown.
Tin* commander of the Itata
slates the arms were not embark-
ed at San Diego, but many miles
at sea. The Iqii'que government
claims this circumstance modifies
the situation considerably, and
will probably result in a speedy
solution of the difficulty between
the admirals and the Junta author-
some of whom declare the
1 cargo of the Itata is of little im-
portance, taking into considera-
tion the small number of arms.
The Itata has handed over all
the arms she took from San Die-
go. consisting of 5000 rifles.
The Charleston arrived at mid-
day.
Allee and Symmes then got off j
the south bound and boarded the
north bound train, the two trains
meeting at this place where the '
tragedy occnrree, and they went j
to Pearsall where both surrender- |
ed to the sheriff tfiere and Allee j
delivered up his own and Bowcn's ;
pistol, each which had three ;
empty cartridges the charges of'
which had been recently fired.
The shooting created intense ex- ]
citement on the train on which it :
occurrtd. Women fainted and
screamed and men in a panic!
i jumped over each other and out I
of the windows. The shooting '
creates intense excitement in 1- ri• •
and LaSalle counties, where ail of
the parties connected with the
tragedy are all well known. Al ice
