O'Ferrall Expected to Win,but by a Reduced Majority. POPULISTS LACK ORGANIZATION, The Legislature Will Also Probably Be Largely Democratic. A PROHIBITION CONTEST. Spectal Dispatch to The Evening Star. in Virginia is practicaliy at an end and tomorrow’s battle of the ballots is awaited with eager expectancy. Both democrats and populists have made a good fight and the with their efforts in behalf of their re- spective parties. The campaign now ended has been a memorable one in many respects. What appeared to be apathy on the part of the populists in the beginning of the canvass proved later to be a shrewd move of their leaders to mislead the enemy. The most |surprising part of the fight has been the activity on the part of the populists and their strength subsequently developed. When their ticket was named by a slimly attended convention in August the demo- crats chuckled in their sleeves and termed it a “motley crowd of disgruntled poll- ticians.” Then, too, their very poor show- ing at the national election last year went further to confirm the belief in the minds of the “unterrified” democracy that the “people’s party” was no people’s party at all and» would pass away like summer |flowers at the approach-of autumn’s winds. | They were doomed to disappointment, for it was soon unmistakably demonstrated that the populists had come to stay and that the farmers of Virginia, in large numbers, were inclined to the Ocala platform. The Watchword of the Populists. “Free silver” has been the watchword of the populists all through the campaign. Rise or fall they have staked their hopes |by this motto. It has been their sole issue |and that they have worked it to good ad- vantage is proven by their largely in- creased following. The campaign has not been one of bril- liant oratorical battles as has been wit- nessed in Virginia in the days gone by. The famous stump speakers so notable in Virginia a quarter of a century ago have either gone to their reward or have relin- quished politics for other more profitable fields. This has been a “whispering” can- vass, as it is sometimes called. The work has been done largely under the ban of political secrecy and other more effective means have been used to persuade the | voter which is the “right way” to vote. | For a series of reasons O'Ferrall’s popu- |larity in Virginia has been badly shaken, |The prime cause of this was his positive |refusal to resign his seat in Congress before the election. It has developed that a num- ber of leading democrats went to the colonel jand appealed to him to resign at least a |month before election, but he would not jlisten to them. Well informed democrats |admit that Col. O’Ferrall will lose at least ‘a- 5,000 votes by this one mistake alone. The | violent personal attacks made upon O’Fer- |rall before his nominatidn by individuals and several papers in the state, it now |seems, have placed him in an undesirable light before the skeptical voter. The at- tacks were made by democrats and demo- |eratic papers and the refrain was taken up after the nomination by the populist or- |gans and the populist speakers. O’Ferrall Will Run Behind His Ticket It is now conceded that O'Ferrall will run far behind his ticket tomorrow. This belief has created a considerable sensa- tion in the democratic ranks and great re- joicing among the populists. O’Ferrall in his speeches has not spared the populists’ speakers and editors and they entertain conaiderable “‘oflicial” hatred for him which is said to be just a little tainted with per- sonality. Added to the sensation caused by the report that O’Ferrali will run be- hind his ticket is the report that his heav- jest losses will occur in his own congres- sional district, the seventh. This will great- ly humiliate ‘the democratic nominee for governor even if he is elected, for he has on several occasions boasted that his ma- jority in his own district would be even larger than when he ran for Congress. The populist organ in its issue of last Thursday, which is the last edition before election day, indulged in some harsh abuse of Col. O'Ferrall, making charges affecting his personal integrity. The colonel is out in cards in the state papers this morning in which he says the allegations are false. In concluding, he says: “Nearly all of them have been repeatedly made by my enemies, and as often refuted in my can- vasses for Congress, and” the people of my congressional district have six consecutive times stamped them as false by nominating me by acclamation and clecting me by in- creased majorities. The two new ones are as unfounded as those which have been met and _ refuted. “The object of publishing these charges within five days of the election can well be understood, and will be condemned by every honorable man, regardless of his par- ty affiliations. “The people among whom I lived when my business misfortunes befell me, 2 than a quarter of a century ago, and who know me best and are perfectly familiar with the circumstances, sent solid instruct- led delegations by overwhelming votes for | me to the late state convention.” O'Ferrall’s Explanation. , In another card printed in his home pa- per, a weekly at Harrisonburg, he says: “Near the middle of last August, when my nomination for governor of Virginia by the state democratic convention was a foregone conclusion, two suits were insti- tuted against me in the circuit court of Rockingham upon alleged claims of more than twenty-five years’ standing. “I am under no moral or legal obliga- tion to pay either of these claims. One ef them never had any foundation in jus- tice nd the other was discharged years ago. It’ was not until after the death of the original parties, and I was thus es- topped under the law from testifying In my own behalf, and could not call upon them to testify, that these suits were in- stituted against me. “Suit could have been entered on these demands more than twenty years ago. The motion for the prosecution of these claims at this particular time, pending my candi- dacy for governor, will be readily under- st 3eing thus circumstanced, I placed the matter in the hands of my attorneys t: make a legal defense. The admirers of O'Ferrall are very much jchagrined at the danger of their favorite running behind his ticket and the report is absorbing a good deal of speculation and discussion. The Democrats Will Win. It seems to be the opinion of a large ma- jority of well-informed politicians that the democrats will win tomorrow by a reduced majority. A member of the state democrat- ie committee, and concededly one of the best, if not the best, informed politician in | Virginia, told The Star correspondent today that he was certain now that the democrats would win tomorrow by a reduced majority “I had entertained a good many fears for some time for the fate of democracy this time, but I can honestly state now that 1 am sure of a democratte victory This is a significant declaration, coming as it does from a man who does not boast and who has hitherto all along positively RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 6.—The campaign | managers of each are supremely satisfied | refused to express an opinion on the out- come of the election. “I believe,” he continued, “that O’Ferrall will run behind his ticket, especially in the seventh district, but he will receive enough votes to draw the salary as governor of Virginia and enjoy whatever honor there may be attached.” When asked about the legislature, my in- formant said that the report that the popu- lists had any show of capturing the assem- bly is absurd. “Why,” said he, “if they-get twenty members of the whole body they can congratulate themselves.” If the populists should suffer defeat to- organization. The organization of the popu- lists,.as a rule, is very bad and the demo- crats are basing their hopes of success largely upon this defect of the opposition. The First Ticket Trick. The first ticket trick to catch the unsus- pecting voter made its appearnce today. It is a ballot headed “Election Ticket,” and has upon its face the names of those men who have the greatest show of winning in their county or district with the populist nomi- nees for governor, HMeutenant governor and attorney general at the head. For instance, | in the county of Augusta, where the prohi- bition nominees for the senate and house of | delegates are receiving hearty support, this “election” ticket bears their name with the ay gubernatorial candidates at its ead. The populist charge that in some counties where the democrats have no hope of se- curing a majority for O’Ferrall and the | State ticket an effort will be made to com- | bine the populist gubernatorial nominees with the legislative candidates on one tick- et. The democrats, of course, deny this. A Prohibition Fight. The fight for the state senatorship in Augusta county is attracting more atten- tion than at any other point. The contest is between democrats and prohibitionists. The democrat, Edward Echols, who stands for re-election, is opposed by J. W. Bodley, the prohibition candidate. Bodley is wealthy, and has boasted that he is wiliing to part with a large sum in order to secure a seat'In the state senate. It seems that for some unknown cause the populist nom- inee suddenly withdrew, and as suddenly turned to the support of Bodley. Later the republicans dened the mandates of Manone, and also determined to cast their votes in behalr of the prohibition cause. Sam Jones, the famous revivalist and wit, came all the way from Georgia to help Bodley, Virgin- ia’s high priest of cold water. It is a livey fight, and many disinterested politicians have predicted a victory for the prohibi- tion nominee, but Senator Echols says now that he will win by a good majority. It is said today that the republicans will by no means stay away from the polls to- morrow. It is well known that Mahone’s orders were that his followers should be entirely neutral in this campaign. It is said today that their ancient doctrine, “anything or anybody to beat the demo- crats,” will be again followed, and that they will turn out in large numbers and support the populist candidates. It is said that the democrats are counting this time on a large number of negro votes, especially in the counties where they hold the balance of power between the demo- crats and populists. Of course it is well known that this vote, in iargg measure, is at the service of the highest bidder. Any denial is for eftct, but to a Virginia politician is utter fol The negro vote is a venal one, and for thi reason alone can it be said that the demo- crats will poll a large part of A true forecast of tomorrow’s battle can be summed up in the words of a political “worker” tod: “The democrats will win, but that’s al The democrats will, no doubt, receive a majority of the votes to- morrow, but they will not have a walk over, nor will it be an almost unanimous legislature, as was the case two years ago. — VERY POOR GUNNERS. Brazilian Artillerists Don’t Come Within a Hundred Yards of the Mark. The steamer Nasmyth has arrived at New York with news from Rio Janeiro. She reached Rio on September 16. Her of- ficers had heard nothing of the rebellion, and were much surprised to hear the boom of cannon and see the smoke of battle ris- ing at the entrance of the harbor. While they were wondering what it all meant a launch from the British man-of-war Sirlus came alongside and explained the situation. The rebel fleet was then engaging the forts at the entrance of the bay, and in- gress or egress was dangerous. The Nas- myth, therefore, went to Ilha Grande, the quarantine island, where she found five or six other vessels in a similar plight. There was a rebel torpedo boat ther: which had just captured a Brazilian coasting vessel and sent her to Montevideo for provisions. On September 19 the Nasmyth entered the harbor and tied up at a wharf. Mello oc- casionally sent word that he intended to bombard the city, and then all neutral ves- sels withdrew a mile or so from the wharves until he had finished for the day. Then they went back and continued to load until Mello wanted to fire some more. The principal fight during the Nasmyth’s stay occurred on September 30. The shoot- ing was poor, the shore batteries’ shots never coming within a hundred feet of the ships, while the only people in danger on shore seemed to be those the fleet did not aim at. Twenty or thirty people in the forts at the entrance of the bay were said to have been killed by shells from the ships, but this could not be confirmed. Coming away, on October 4, the Nasmyth’s officers looked at the forts, expecting to see them in ruins from the fierce cannonading they had received, but were unable to perceive any damage. Suspicion was drawn to Dr. George Boyn- ton, who was stopped by the British while about to attack Mello, because he flew St. George’s ensign, which only warships have the right to carry. He was towing a barrel of dynamite, and had intended to engage the Aquidaban's officers in talk while his men fixed the explosive under the stern. It would then have been exploded by a wire from the shore. Some one sent Mello a copy of the laws of the Argentine Republic, the interior of which had been hollowed out and filled with dynamite. Suspicion was aroused, and the book was soaked before being opened. When the lid was raised the spring of the machine clicked, but the contents were too wet to explode. The steamship Capua of the Sloman line left Rio October 7, after lymg there four- teen days. Chief Officer Wallis, who was once an officer in the German navy,says the firing on both sides was positively amateur. ish. Cannon shots were often exchanged at point blank range, without coming with- in i00 yards of the mark. Many shots pass- ed unpleasantly close to the Capua. e+ The Virginia Election Law. Mr. Edward Wyatt of the pension bureau has gone to his home at Richmond, Va. He will put his shoulder to the party wheel. Mr. Wyatt told a Star reporter that he was greatly disturbed over the misleading press dispatches sent out from the Old Dominion on the subject of the Anderson-McCormick election law. He said: ‘Although the elec- tion board is composed of three men for each county, appointed by the legislature, who shall have full control of the election, it is not true that this gives absolute power to the democrats. On the returning board there must be two democrats and one re- publican, and there must be one democratic and one republican judge to certify to the correctness of the count. If the democratic party could use the law for its own ends, do you suppose they would have lost eight out of ten Congressmen in the election of 1886? Not much.” —___-e-_____ Mexican Commission, Mr. Romero, the Mexican minister, favors the appointment of a commission, composed of army engineers of the United States and Mexico, which shall investigate the subject »f improving the Colorado river and formu- late a project for the improvement if found to be expedient, to be undertaken by both governments jointly or by either, as the officials may determine, |WEATHER FORECASTS Weather Bureau. HIGHS AND LOWS IN THE ATMOSPHERE. Storm Centers And How the Direc- tion is Determined. A TYPICAL STORM. (idlinnieaalpripaniceidii Do you read the weather predictions in The Star every evening? Is it a matter of any interest to you to kiiow how those pre- dictions are made and upon what basis they stand? If it is, just pay attention for a few moments and the matter will be explained to you, explained not from an abstruse, scientific standpoint, but in a way that a layman can understand. The map of the weather prevailing in the United States and Canada at the time speci- fied is constructed from observations taken simultaneously over the country, the re- sults being telegraphed to Washington and other cities in an abbreviating cipher code. The times of the observations are 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., of the seventy-fifth meridian west of Greenwich, which passes just east of Philadelphia, and is 8 minutes 12 seconds east of Washington. The observations con- sist of readings of the barometer which measures the pressure of the atmosphere, the thermometer which gives its tempera- ture, the wet and dry bulb thermometers from which is deduced the dew point, in records of the direction and velocity of the wind, the clearness or cloudiness of the sky, and the amount of rain or snow fallen. The weather map exhibits graphically a large part of these data from about 155 stations. 7 The High and Low, To show the pressure of the air all over the country, the readings of the barometer are reduced to sea level, and then solid lines, called isobars, are drawn through places having the same pressure. The re- sult is a series of contours one-tenth of an inch ure a] which gives the highs and lows in the anoaphers. ~% The “high” is a clear, cool region; the “low” is apt to be cloudy or rainy, and warmy er. Spe od pressure changes vy, wi 4 are far apart the change is gradual. Simi- larly places having the same temperatures are connected by dotted lines, called iso- therms. There are sometimes added heavy dotted lines inclosing a space where there has been a great change in temperature within the last twenty-four hours. Shaded areas show where rain or snow has been falling since the last observation, that is, within twelve hours. The direction of the wind is indicated by arrows flying with it, or opposite to the ordinary vane; these also have circles which are so shaded as to give the state of the sky, clear, partly cloudy, cloudy, rain, snow; and they have square ends wherever cautionary storm signals are displayed, more frequently on the Atlantic coast and near the lakes. Forecasting the Weather. ‘The best way to learn to use the map for forecasting weather is to take three or four maps of consecutive dates and observe the changes in the lines, It will be seen that highs and lows move eastward, at the aver- age rate of 600 miles daily, and that the winds blow around a high and low in a definite way, as it were in the form of the two adjacent figures. Thus they go out of and around the high in the direction of the hands of a watch, called the anticyclone, and then around and into the low in the opposite direction, called the cyclone. The winds on the SE. and E. of a low are warm and moist from the S.; those between the high and low are cool from the NW., stronger, and bring clearing weather; those on the SW. and W. of the high blow from the SE., or are variable. The forecast consists in picturing to the mind the storm centers as moved to their probable position for the next day, and then describing such weather conditions as would there exist. The tracks of cen- ters of low areas are given in heavy arrow lines. The movement of storms is often erratic, depending upon many hidden causes and thence arises some uncertainty in mak- ing the forecasts. The average success in predicting is about % per cent. Special reports of heavy rainfall of the depth of water in the rivers and of the movement of the river stage, whether rising or falling, a synopsis of the variations of the conditio’ since the last report at all the stations, and a statement of the weather to be expected, is added on the margin of the map. Meaning of the Word Storm. The word storm, in the language of the weather bureau, refers to a widespread condition of low atmospheric pressure, which, when well defined, is accompanied by general rainfall, cloudiness, often very high winds, and marked changes of tem- perature. This condition is likewise called a cyclone, from the fact that the circulation of winds within its influence is rotary in character, blowing toward and around the center in a very definite manner. The word cyclone is incorrectly used when applied to those violent tornadoes, which, though extremely destructive, are very narrow and last but a few hours, while a cyclone is often 1,500 miles in width and preserves its identity for many days. A Sample Storm. Now, having learned these rudimentary principles, you are ready to follow the pro- gress of a typical storm which appeared in the western portion of the United States and traveled across the country, affecting almost every section. This storm occurred in April, 1892, and is used by the weather bureau as an example in illustrating the matter at issue. The weather bureau's de- scription is as follows: Saturday, April 2, 8 p.m. Attention is first directed to the distribu- tion of the atmospheric pressure. A “low” is just passing northeastward above Lake Superior, A second “low” is just appearing in the far nerthwest, with a long trough- {like extension over the Rocky mountain states and western plains. The pressure is as yet only slightly depressed, but large areas of marked increases of temperature have occurred, and the law of cyclonic cir- culation of winds is drawing into this re- gion warm and moist air from the gulf. The moist winds from the Pacific have ready shed much of their moisture over extended region along the coast. The area of highest pressure is central off the South Atlantic coast. Sunday, April 3, 8 a.m. The isobars on this map show that the region of lowest pressure is now central in eastern Colorado and that the whole condi- tion of low pressure is widening in an east and west direction and the isobars becoming | more circular in character. This means that the distribution of the. pressure is be- coming more symmetrical, the pressure be- ing lowest in a small region in the center and gradually higher and higher at greater and greater distances away from this cen- ter. The arrows again show a continued and general flow of atmosphere northwest- ward from the gulf. The temperature has risen from 10 degrees to 20 degrees over an extended region southeastward of the storm center. The condition of low barometric pressure and the flow of warm and moist air into it are favorable for general precipi- tation, and scattered showers have already occurred throughout different portions of the storm region. Sunday, April 3, 8 p.m. The center of the area of low pressure has moved eastward nearly 300 miles, the storm increasing in energy, as is indicated by the fact that the pressure at the center is now two-tenths of an inch lower than before, The isobars are still more nearly circular than before and are greater in number and closer together, a condition on the map that shows there is a marked difference between the atmospheric pressure at the center and that at tie edges of the storm, or, es it is technically expressed, that there exists marked “barometric gradient.” This grafi- ent is sharpest where the lines are nearest each other and severe wind storms are al- most a certain result of such a condition, because the air, by reason of the great aif- ference of pressure, will flow with high velocities into the region of low pressure. The wind directions, marked by the ar- rows on the map, show the manner in which the air flows into the region of low pres- wre, mot directiy into its center, but toward center and around it in a direction posite to that of the movement of ston hands. The flow of the air northward the gulf still continues. The precipita: caused by this storm development has been very extended, embracing over three-fourth of the entire area of the United States, Monday, April 4, 8 a.m. The movement of the storm during the preceding twelve hours has been more sharply northward than would have been expected, judging from the general move- ment of storms. The pressure at the center is still lower than before, and in fact we have shown on this map a typical storm or cyclone of great intensity, extending its in- fluence over @ circular area fully 1,500 miles in diameter, ees examination of subsequent charts will w that the storm is now at its height the pressure at the center having ~ from 29.5 on the evening of April 2, to 2.1 at the time of this observation. This great increase in the energy of the storm is gen- erally assigned to be directly a consequence of the expansion and cooling of the large quantities of warm and moist air which the initial action of the storm drew into itself, in this case principally from the gulf re- gion. The result of the cooling has been the condensation of vapor, the tation of enormous quantities of water and the beration of great quantities of heat — viously latent in the vapor before sation. This heat tends to prevent the al- ready overheated air from cooling as fast as it otherwise would, and thus and even adds to the intensity of the un- equal distribution of temperature and pressure throughout the great extent of the Homer end a involved. Rain and el 'y. skies accompany the storm con- dition, and high winds the lake region and Missouri valley. Monday, April 4, 8 p.m. The storm during the past tweive hours has moved directly northeastward, with a slight increase in pressure at the center and with a corresponding diminution in energy. The isobars are now closest to- gether and the barometric gradient steepest: over the northwestern quadrant of the storm, throughout which high wind veloci- ties prevail. Westward of the storm center a marked fall of temperature has occurred over the region inclosed within the heavy dotted line, and the temperature has risen over a less extended area to the eastward and in front of the advancing storm. The rise of temperature in front of an advancing storm and the sharp fall of tem- perature in the rear, occurring with or fol- lowed by rapidly clearing weather, are characteristic accompaniments of geteral storm deveiopments, and the occurrence ef pronounced cold waves in the winter sea- sons takes place in this manner. A condi- tion of high barometer, accompanied by fair weather, is advancing closely upon the rear of the storm from the Pacific coast. Throughout the period covered by these Pai e Ondition of high pressure and fair eather has prevailed over the South At- lantic coast, with little change of and to this circumstance may be attrfb- uted the deflection of as ee jon the storm track The distance traversed by the storm-cen- ter during the period between this and the Preceding map was nearly double that of any previous twelve-hour movement, the 4i- rection being still northeastward, the high on the South Atlantic coast still remaining stationary. A slight widening of the distance between the isobars indicates a ual diminution of energy, and the ooumes of the storm is being followed by rapidly clearing conditions, the high barometer over the extreme west being clearly defined and saguonge = pone nagenatenag “low,” visi- on this @ preceding map, the northward. sity The region of rainfall is still very extend- ed, especially to the southeast of the storm center, but an examination of the symbols will show that clear or only partly cloudy skies already prevail throughout the greater part of this region—that is, the rain shown probably occurred during the early part of the night. The fall of temperature foilow- ing closely in the rear of the storm still af- fects a large area. The absence of observa- tions northward of the great lakes prevents charting all the features of the storm pro- gression. A new area of low presure is just appearing over the western Gulf coast. ‘Tuesday, April 5, 8 p.m. The position of the storm is now so far to the north that observations are available only throughout its southern portion. The energy, however, is clearly seen to be greatly lessened, but high wind velocities prevail along the New England and North Atlantic coasts. The movement of the “low” in the far northwest is still in a nearly easterly direction, and so far as the few observations in this region show the storm is not accompanied by ratnfali, due, seemingly, to the natural deficiency of moisture in the atmosphere of these re- gions. The “low” on the gulf coast has advanced slightly northeastward, and the influence of the high atmospheric pressure existing over the Rocky mountain region extends far to the eastward. The occurrence of rain under these conditions has been over sca areas, with regions of fair weather in be- tween. The area of marked fall in tempera- ture has increased in extent and also in the amount of fall, while over a second region farther to the northwest the temperature has risen from 10 degrees to 20 This latter rise of temperature follows naturally after the sharp fall occurring over the greater part of this region some twenty- four hours before. Wednesday, April 6, 5 a.m. This last mgo of the series shows the storm central in the extreme northeast over the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, having moved in all a distance of fully 2,000 miles in sev- enty-two hours. The rate of movement dur- ing the last two days was much more rapid than the first day, averaging 80 miles per day, which ts over thirty-five miles per hour! Storm conditions of this character over the United States and the temperate zones in general always move from thewest eastward. Some portions of their path will be north- eastward, some southeastward, but the movement is always from the western por= tion of the country toward the eastern. The cause of this direction of motion is connected with the circumstance that the earth revolves on its axis from west to east and that the general movement of the alr in temperate zones is in this direction. We have thus found to occur over the western plains, first, a region of warm air with a condition of low atmospheric pres- sure, followed by an inflow of air from ad- jacent regions, especially from the gulf, which air is itself warm and moist. The sequel of these circumstances was the de- velopment in the atmosphere of a great whirlwind or cyclone. The pressure of the air at the central region was much lower than elsewhere; the moist air in the upper regions of the storm was colled and clouds and rainfall ensued; the temperature rose at places upon which the storm advanced and colder and clear weather followed after it, the whole storm or whirlwind advancing eastward with the general movement of the air, just as eddies and whirls that occur in the currents of rivers may be seen to move down stream with the general flow. natin ‘The Chinese doctor's lot is not wholly @ happy one.
