of this week nnd that if Congressman Mc
Phcrson declined to accept the appoint
ment tnat it would in all probability go to
James Davis of Keokuk.
From tha same source It Is learned that
tho Iowa delegation caucused last Saturday
night, but wcro unable to mako a choice,
as nona of tho prospective candidates enmo
auywhero near receiving suiflclunt votes. A
largo number of ballots wcro taken with
out success, when It was decided to ad
journ until Saturday night of this week. It
Is said that Davis was supposed to have
rccolvcd tho largest number of votes nnd
that Judgo Walter I. Smith had three or
four votes In each ballot. It will take six
votoa to securo tho nomination. It Is also
said that Senator Allison la standing out
for n western man and If this Is the caso
Judgo Smith's friends aro hopctul that ho
may yet land tho appointment, provldod, of
course, that Smith McPherson will not ac
cept It.
Tho general opinion here, however, Is that
Congressman McPherson will bo the noxt
federal Judge. In support of this opinion
they point to tho fact that McPherson, who
enjoyod a largo practlco ns a railroad at
torney, Is turning over most of his railway
cases to other attorneys. This, they claim,
indicates mat no means in tho long run
to accept tho appointment as Judgo of tho
federal court to succeed tho late Judgo
Woolson. They argue that ho would not bo
likely to surrender his largo railroad law
practlco unless ho Intended accepting.

clerkship will go to a man from tho eastern

DES MOINES, March 21. (Special Tele
gram.) Tho Ayqrs bill for tho legalization
of mulct potltlotw in Iowa, declared void
by thu Iowa supreme court decisions, was
under discussion as a special order in tho
house today.
1 Amendments galore were offered and dls-
cussed until tho wholo day was spent In
Its consideration. It finally passed In a form
which legalizes all petitions Undor which
manufacturing has been carried on between
October, 1807, until July 1, 1000, and le
galizes tho liquor sales mado between Oc
tober, 1807, until February, 1900. Thero
wns objection to tho legalization of tho'
mulct petitions under which tho sales had
been made, so tho languago of ho Bectlon
was limited to tho sales mado under tha
void petitions. There was also objection to
tho legalization of tho sales up to July next,
so February was fixed as a compromise. Tho
voto on the bill on Its final passage stoijd
53 to 37. Thei bill applies to cities acting
under special charter, as well as others.
Tnke tip Chenhlre Amendment.
Tho Cheshire amendment, relating to tel
egraph companies, was taken up In tho sen
ato again and consumed tho cntlro day. Tho .
Blanchard substltuto to tax theso corpora
tions as railroads aro now taxed was di
rectly under consideration and Cheshire, th
author of tho original bill, read several
sensational communications which pointed
strongly to the fact that tho telegraph and
telcphono companies of tho stato havo been
putting forth every effort to defeat ths
Cheshire bill and get tho Blanchard meas
uro substituted. Yet Blanchard, tho author
of tho substitute, in his argument today
stated that It would reach tho samo end
na tho Chcshlro amendment. At tho close
of tho afternoon scjBlon no action on tho
measure bad been taken.
Tho scnato took up tbo question of ad
Journlng April 3, but finally postponed con- I
slderatlon until next Tuesday. Tomorrow
tho conferenco coramltteo on appropriations '
will meet and attempt to agree upon tho

from tho 5th to tho 10th.
After loading tho Prentls bill, for a
stricter regulation of stipulated premium
life Insurance companies, with amendments,
It ivns defeated by tho house, this being
tho second day of discussion upon it. Tho
bill was originnlly introduced because of nn
opinion of the attorney general last Juno
In which ho declared his Intention not to
longer nuthorlzo tho nrtlcles of Incorporation
of such companies, as ho believed there was
no law existing under which they could
operate.

TAIJC ABOUT WUATIIKIt.
Some Inside VIimvh on IIIkIi nnd Low

Tho Washington correspondent of tho
Chicago Becord, having received Inquiries
concerning tho causo of tho extraordinary
hot weather throughout tho southern
hemisphere, and tho mildness of the winter
In tho northern hemisphere, submitted them
to tho weather bureau for oxplanatlon.
"No, scientists do not look to tho sun for
nn explanation of tho mild winter of phe
nomena In weather conditions," said Prof.
Edward B. Garriott, chief forecaster at
Washington. "I am not prepared to say
that tho changes In tho sun, or sun spots,
ns wo commonly term tho phenomena, havo
no effect upon tho weather, but wo havo
not yet advanced to tho point where wo
can calculato or oven consider what effect
theso changes produce. We regard all
chenges as directly duo to atmospheric pres
sure, and unusually mild Beaeons, -whether
In winter or summer, as well as unusually
sovcro heat or cdld, aro traced to the pre
vailing highs and lows, ns wo call tho dis
turbances, nnd ns they aro designated in
tho weather map Issued dally.
"Tho relative location of the high and low
baromoter Influences tho wind. Wo can best
explain what Is meant by calling the low
barometer a partial vacuum and tho high
barometer a surplus of wind. Tho air cur
rents whero the high 'barometer Is cen
tered rush out, whllo tho low barometer
center or centers causo the air currents to
rush In toward their centers. You havo
porhaps noticed tho effect upon wator in a
baeln when tho plug is removed. A partial
vacuum Is quickly 'formed In the center of
tho water leading from tho surface to tho
mouth of tho drainage pipe. It Is funnel
shaped, and as the air rushes Into tho
vacuum tho water Is glvon n spiral motion
and It whirls nnd whirls as It runs off. This
Is exactly the condition In tho nrea of low
barometer. Tho air currentu rush Into such
an area from tho top and whirl or revolve.
Tho areas of high barometer may bo com
pared to springs tho overproduction or sur
plus air bubbling up nnd overflowing, going
as tho water does In the direction of tho
least resistance, or In the direction of tho
then prevailing lows.
"Tho atmospheric changes following the
shifting of barometric centers dopond upon
tho location of tho high and low. Let us
say that the low Is centered over lllluols
and tho high Is over Louisiana. The air
currents, or tho direction of tho wind, will
then be from th south to tho north, and
glvo us unusually low temperatures In the
south and unusually high tempernturcs In
the north, because In the south the winds
would be northerly, tho nlr would be clear
and thero would bo a rapid radiation of tho
heat from tho earth during the night.
"In oil cases tho lmmedlato causo of
either extreme heat or cold Is to be found
In tho distribution of barometric pressure
It controls tho direction of tho winds and
overy ono knows that winds coming out of
tho sunny south aro more pleasant In win
ter than thoso from tho snowbanks of the
north. In winter tho Atlantic nnd Pacific
oceans show pcimanent nreas of low barom
eter; in summer tho conditions are exactly
reversed. Tho explanation Is that tho Im
mense volumes of water In the ocenn retain
tho heat of tho summer sun longer than
tho earth. Tho water cools much slower,
and warms much slower. In tho fall and
early winter It Is warmor than tho earth.
In tho spring and early summer It Is coaler.

Tho baromoter remains high over the land
generally In winter and low In summer
Wo havo found that the shifting of large
or permanent areas of barometric pressure
will nffoct tho lemperaturo of given sec
tions for months at a tlmo. They will have
what might bo considered a permanent ef
fect. Just as soon as wo can securo data,
or observations, or discover tho cxlstonco
of known agencies which govern tho shift
ing of tho position of ono of these perma
nent areas wo can trace relations, and with
a reasonable degree of nccuracy predict con
ditions weeks in advance.
"No, thero is no relation between tho
northern and southern zones. The equato
rial region is not crossed by areas of high
and low barometer. It Is a natural belt so
far na prossuro goes. Whllo storms fre
quently come out of the torrid zone, wo have
no evidence that climatic disturbances cross
It. Thoro Is no connection botwecn tho
mildness of our present winter and tho ex
cessively hot weather In tho southern zone.
Tho theory that a glvnn amount of heat Is
generated annually and must be consumed,
with tho result that a mild winter follows
mild summer, and tho forecasts based on tho
crop of nuts, tho goosebone and such signs,
may bo accurate at times, but If people will
glvo moro attention to atmospheric condi
tions they will find a moro accurate solution
of our weather. It Is only necessary to ro
momber that high and low barometer areas
oro atmospheric eddies, tho low barometor
representing a depression In tho atmosphere,
or a storm center Into which tho winds flow
spirally. Tho circulation of winds results In
warm southerly currents to tho east of a low
baromoter and cold northerly currents to
tho west of tho center of low barometer.
Tho low Is simply a vaat atmospheric whirl
or eddy, carried alonu by tho general air
currents and in tho direction generally from
west to east.
