Ed. Asteeiau:
In this morning's issue of your paper
you say that tho rainfall hero for Novem
ber was 2.63 inches. What is an inch of
rain? How do you measure it?
L.
Astoria, December 2. 1SSL
The U. S. government stations observ
ers at different points whose business it
is to report tho weather, rainfall, direc
tion of winds, etc. There is one at Asto
ria. If you look in the afternoon about
8 o'clock, you will see him on tho top of
Capt. Flavel's warehouse, where lao has
an apparatus supplied by tho govern
ment to measure the rainfall. The ex
pression 'an inch of rain" is only arbi
trary. It would be ju3t as easy to talk
of a meter of rain or a foot of rain, but
the weather department has taken tho
inch for a standard. If 103 tons of water
fell upon an acre of ground, about a gal
Ion of that water distributed over a sur
face of two square feet would cover that
surface to the depth of an inch. So that
if 2.63 "inches of rain" fell in Astoria in
November, every acre of the city's sur
face received 233 tons of water during
that time.

the
Following is it summary of the mes
sage from President Arthur to the con
grass of the United States on tho occa
sion of its meeting on the Lst inst. After
referring to the quiet result of the olec
ticu the prc-sidfciil calls tho attention of
congress to the necessity of providing
1 better regulations for counting tho eke
toral vote. Ke then enters upon our for
eign relations, all of which he states con
tinue amicable. A treaty has been con
ceded with Belgium securing equal
rights to the citizens of both countries,
including the trade-mark clause.
A convention will soon be negotiated
for the arbitration of the claims of Amer
ican citizens who have suffered through
acts of tho Chilian authorities during
the late war bstweon Peru and Chili.
The president says the hostilities be
tween Franco and China embarrasses our
eastern relations. Tho Chinese govern
ment has adjusted and paid claims of
Americans for loss of projwrty suffered
durintr the recent riots nt Canton. He
recommends that the Canton fund bo re
turned to China. Tho question whether
the snti-Clnuese immigration statute
passed at the lart session does not violate
tho trentv rights of Chinese who hold re
turn certificates, valid under tho old law
but not by the now, suggests that vessels
omit or uaaui oy American citizens ior
foreign traffic should bo registered and
documented at uniform rate, to guard
bona iiO proper! v rights.
This government has recognized the
International Association of Uoujjo, and
appointed a commercial agent thereto,
and sent delegates to the Berlin confer
ence for tho consideration of tho ques
tion; and tuc president recommends the
purchase of legation premises in Corea,
Japan, China and Persia, and advises tho
restitution of tho agency nnd consulate
general at Cairo on its former basis, the
want of diplomatic representations there
having embarrassed our relations with
Egypt.
Tho president suggests congressional
aid for the completion of tho psdestalfor
the Bartholdi ststue.
He recommends an extradition treaty
with the German empire, as existing
treaties with the individual states thoreof
do not properly oovor the ground. He
favors "the removal of tho Hawaiian
rec.prooity treaty.
The arrangements of tho government
foriupholding the neutrality laws during
the late Havtian revolution were success
ful. He ouugesta that the present import
duties of foreign works of art may possi
bly result in debarring our artists from
access to the advantages of European art
collection.
There is a prospect that tho long pand
ing revision of tho foreign treaties of
Japan may be settled by the coming con
ference at Tokio. The president thinks
a full treaty of commerce, navigation and
consular rights with Mexico is very de
sirable. The reciprocity treaty concluded
last year awaits tariif legislation to be
come operative. The canal treaty with
Nicaur.igaa has been concluded, and it is
believed when it is laid beforo congress
it will command universal approval.
The death of the minister to Bussia
called forth an expression of the kind
feelings always existing between the two
countries.
Tho Siamese government has presented
the United States with commodious lega
tion premises, for which a joint resolu
tion of t hanks is suggested. The govern
ment has taken steps to prevent tho in
i Tactions of international obligations to
Spam at Key West and other points near
ths Cab in coast. The reciprocity treaty
to render closer our commercial relations
with Caba and Porto ilico, if possible,
will be submitted to the senate for ap
proval. This haB necessitated the post
ponement of tho prosecution of certain
laims oy our citizens penning against
Spain, which, on ouhrmatiou of the
treaty, will be urged to a settlement.
Negotiations for a reciprocity treaty
with San Domingo havo been concluded
and will be laid beforo the senate.
Questions with tho Ottoman empire,
rogardmg a revision of the tariff and
commercial rights, are atill unsettled.
Tua early settlement of Venezuelan
claims is expected,
Instructions to tha Central and South
Ameiican commission to promote the
enlargement of commercial intercourse
with the Spanish American states, will be
laid before congress. Tho commission
will soon be in Mexico.
Tho international meridianal confer
ence has fixed upon the Greenwich mer
idian. A formal report will be trans
mitted to congress. Tho president says.
during tho past year invitations have
been received from tho governments of
England, Holland. Belgium, Germany
and Austria to participate in interna-
hibition will be held in London next
May. It is very desirable that wo should
ue represented, no suggests tnat a
statute be enacted giving the executive
discretionary power to appoint honorary
commissioners, without salary, and plac
ing at the disposal of the secretary of
state a small fund for expenses.
He calls attention to the question of
regulations to prevent collisions at sea,
and also to tho matter of international
copyright.
Ho recommends tho modification of
the neutrality laws to prevent overt
preparations in this country for the com
mission of criminal acts in other coun
tries. Osring to tho lapid payment of the
three per cent, bonds, which form the
chief basis of the national bank circula
tion is recommended, in order to avoid
contraction that banks be allowed to is
sue to the full face value of their bonds.
The naturalization laws need revision
to more definitely define the status of
persons subjects to foreign powers born
within tho United States, and tho minor
children of fathers who havo declared
their intentions to become citizens.
He recommends more liberal appropr"
ations to secure the efficiency of tho di
plomatic and consular service.
Tho report of the secretary of the treas
ury shows that tho revenue "for tho year
cnuingtjunedj, was 53RS,aiy,ot)y f: ex
penditures 2iW,91G,483 83, a net decrease
m expenditures compared with the pre
vious year of S2 1.000.000. and a decrease
of receipts of $M,CCO,000, mostly owing
to tne tailing on m customs and -internal
revenue service. It is estimated that the
receipts for the current vear will ha
$330,000,000, and expenditures, including
interest nnu sinKins iuna. sirju.uuu.uixj.
That tho exports will be $807,616,992, and
imports 705,123,935; excess of specie ex
ports over imports, 30,000,000. Ho rec
ommends the immediate suspension of
the coinage of silver dollars, and the is
sue of silver certificates.
The silver dollars now outstanding
amount to 105,000,000 of which about
40,000100 ar in actual simulation. Un
less the coinage and issuo is stopped, the
secretary is convinced that silver is like
ly at no distant day to becomo the solo
metallic otandard. He approves tho
secretary's suggestion to retiro one and
two-dollar notes. He recommends that
arrangements bo made for tho redemp
tion of trade dollars at a slight ndvanco
over their bullion value, and suggestsan
increase of weight of subsidiary silver
coins to the ratio of tho standard dollars.
Ho recommends tho abolition of all ex
cise taxes except on distilled spirits. Ho
suggests a commission to dense means
to increase foreign trade, and recom
mends mail subsidies and other meas
ures to encourage our shipping interests.
Sixty millions are asked by tho secre
tary of war to provide adequate sea-coast
defenses, about ten percent, being nec
essary to begin work. His request is
appreved: also, that the government
should encourago private steel works to
furnish material for heavy ordnance and
make appropriations for gun factories.
The secretary of the navy claims that the
plans of the new cruisers have proved
effective. - It is recommended that appro
priations bo made for additional cruisers
and for the completion and armament
of iron clads now in process of construc
tion. He urges tho necessity of rapidly
bringing the navy to an efficient condi
tion He refers briefly to thc, Jeanette
and Greeley relief expeditions.
The report of the postmaster general
shows the decrease of revenue by tho re
duction of letter postage to be less than
was anticipated. He recommends that
drop letters be reduced to one cent, and
tht't the unit of weight in rating first-
class matter should bo ono ounce, nnd
that the system of free delivery be ex
tended.
Tho attorney cenoral recommends that
the fees of marshals and attornoys bo re
placed by salaries; that there be a radical
change in tho feo bill, and tho construe
tion of a government penitentiary.
Indian affairs have been quiet during
tho year. A statute for tho punishment
of crimes committed on reservations and
for tho purchase of a portion of the
Sioux reservation is recommended. Tho
repeal of the pre-emption law, and the
onactment of statutes resolving present
complications touching lapsed railroad
grants and tho fnnding of the Pacific
railroad debt is advised.
Ho recommends that congress take tho
absolute political control of Utah, with a
view of stamping out polygamy.
Ho considers in a general way the
problem of reducing the revenue without
prejudicing industrial protection, and sug
gests that we should seek supplies of raw
material and markets for our manufac
tures, mainly in countries on tho Ameri
can continent and adjacent islands; that
to this end we should conclude recipro
city treaties with them and improve our
consular service and encourago American
steam marine and establish uniform cur
rency for all these countries. "Wo should
also seek an enlargement of trado with
Europe. Asia and Africa by reducing the
tariff on their wares which we aro not
fitted to produce.
The good results oxpscted from the
working of the civil service act havo
been more than realized and havo the
full approval of tho president and heads
of departments. Tho commission has
performed its duty with zeal and fi
delity. He hopes for tho passage of a national
bankrupt law.
Ho recommends congressional action
regarding the importation of rags and
tae aomission of tho baggage of emi
grants from infected ports, with a view
of warding off a cholera visitation. He
recommends a pension for General
Grant.
He urges legislation for the preserva
tion of the forests on the public domain;
the granting of government aid for pop
ular education; amendment of the con
stitution to make effectivo tho disap
proval by tha presidont of particular
terms in appropriation bills; tho enact
ment of .statutes in regard to filling
vacancies in the presidential office, and
determining vexed questions of presi
dential disability.
In conclusion, he expresses his appre
ciation of the courtesy and co-operation
of congress and his obligation to the peo
ple generally for the support awarded
his administration.

THE CITI OF FESTIVAL,
The FTMMit Effect of the World' Export-
iion.
Special Corrospcudeuce.
New Ontnsu, Nov. 22, 1SSJ.
Foreigners, in bright costumes, filling
up tho streets; oranges turning from green
to gold in the multitudinous gardens; new
theaters, museums nnd concert halls
opening up; superlative senso of motion
and gayety in this fair city, so famous for
its royal revelry; everything, in fact,
tending to demonstrate that wo aro Hear
ing the delightful monCh of December
and the opening of our world's exposi
tion. In less than four weeks it will bo
upon us and we shall hear tho geniaL ac
cents of President Arthur, propelled by
tho vast sounding board of the Music
hall in our main building, proclaim a wel
come to the world the whole world
which will be well miniatured and
kaleido3coped in a building that contains
thirty-threo acres of space. The acoustic
properties of this 3Iusic hall, which has
chairs for 10,000 people, are simple ad
mirable, and tho same may be said for
the entire building, which attracts daily
crowds, and on Sundays would cause a
casual observer to imagine that tho ex
position had already opened. Around
the exposition grounds a great deal of
private enterprise is being displayed in
tho shape of new hotels, now cottages
and now pleasure houses for tho enter
tainment nnd accommodation of visitors.
Tho same spirit manifests itself in the
rehabilitation of old houses and furnish
ing up of the shop fronts and the stalls
in the business portion of the city. Last
Sunday steamers began running from the
foot of Canal street to the exposition
grounds, and tho doubling of tho car
tracks on bomo of the streets, gives evi
dence that New Orleans is preparing for
the grandest procession of holidays and
the largest influx of strangers that she
has ever enjoyed. And sho will treat
them with distinguished consideration;
for from the timo when the hospitable
Indians on the Delta offered the adven
turous La Salle their daintiest tit-bits of
dried human flesh from that time, 200
years ago, until now, Now Orleans has
been famous for the heartiness of her
hospitality andthc delicacy of her cuisine.
With a market which, in tho matter of
fish, game, fruit and vegetables sur
passes any in tho world, and with cooks
who may rightly be deemed capital from
tho fact that they havo served their ap
prenticeships in all tho capitals of Eu
rope, New Orleans offers to tho visitor of
the north nnd west most excellent phj-si-cal
foundations for tho substantial intel
lectual enjoyment, which her world's ex
position promises.
Almost every newspaper reader knows
that wo have here the most massive ox
positional structures over erected; a main
building of thirty-threo acres with no
partitions, but delicate pillars and a
mazo of glimmering aisles; a Mexican
building of oriental richness in design
and coloring, where gold and green,
maroon and sunsot red, conspire with
oarvings to enchant tho oye; a horticult
ural hall, the largest over made, and
many others that must be seen to be be
believed? But at thought of all the won
ders theso wonders will contain, like a
succession of Chinese boxes, the pen
halts, for to enumerate all the special
features of attraction which this
"World's Exposition" offers would be
like counting the leaves of a banyan tree,
and wo leave it to the future historian of
tho finished event. Tho animating and
directing minds at tho head of this euter-
5 rise seem to have forgotten nothing,
'he immensity of tho live stock interest,
the advance of electrical invention, the
education of tho Indian by government
schools, the progress of woman's work
and tho elevation of the colored race
all these have received equal and just
attention from tho management. The
lust point, interpenetrating as it does
the material progress and development
of tho south, has gained especial heed.
The management deeming that the iden
tification of the colored race with the
material prosperity of tho south render
ed a demonstration of their educational
advance sinco emancipation eminently
fit and instructive, decided to givo every
possible stimulus to such an exhibition,
and voted an ample appropriation to aid
those engaged in this branch. To their
credit be it said, the colored peeple have
entered into this work with an enthusi
usni that prombes most interesting re
sults. From outsido tho exposition
proper many attractions naturally grav
itate to such a center.
An international drill will be held, in
which, besides volunteer soldiery, com
panies of the regular army, 3rexican reg
iments and Spanish battalions from Cu
ba proposo to participate. A United
States fleet, promised by tho secretary of
tho navy, will he along tho river, and a
sham naval and land battle is contem
plated. Many organizations of national
reputation and extent will hold their an
nual convocation at New Orleans during
this period. The carnival pageants, oc
curring in the latter part of tho winter
(which generally serves a very summery
process on New Orleans anyway, with an
average temperature of C5 degrees Fah
renheit) will be this season of unparal
leled gorgeousness and magnify tho fas
cination of this already world-famous
festival. Grand concerts, given regular
ly in iuusic nan, witu the largest organ
ever built for an exposition, and the line
Frenoh and Italian grand opera houses
of tho city itself should hold out to lovers
of music an irresistible invitation. Be
sides, the opportunities for excursions by
water, fresh and salt in every direction
are unequalled. Up the Father of
Waters and along the richly verdured ba
youB, or into tho Gulf to the Florida Keys
and coast places of Texas, Mexico, Cen
tral America, Caribees and West Indies
palace steamers, at enormously low rates,
every few days will take parties of pleas
ure. Tho ratesof transportation, too, by
land are less than ever granted before by
railroad companies. In short, nothing i3
lacking to make tho world's exposition
tho crowning event of this great and
splendid century.
