THE ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.

INFORMATION FROM PROF. NEwCoMB OF "AshiN'
ToN-TIME OF THE PHAsEs-wHAT MAY BE SEEN
THROUGH A TELESCOPE.
WASHINGTON Oct 23.-The following particulars
respecting the total eclipse OF the moon on ounoay
morning has been obtained from Prof. Newcomp U,
the Naval Observatory This is the FIRST to.as %
eclipse visible in the Eastern States since March '
1866 an unusually long interval Such echpso0
generally occur once in one or two years; solio.
times, indeed, there are two in single year. Du'
as no one eclipse can be entirely seen from more
than half the surface of the earth an observer ia
any one place must generally wait several years 70
see one. The eclipse of Sunday morning is Dareiy
total the edge of the moon passing 80 near the
north edge of the earths shadow that the total
phase lasts but little moro than hour.
The moon is seldom or never totally Invisible
during an eclipse but shines with dull red l1ght'
which she receives from the sun by the rays DeinR
refracted and reflected through the lower regions VI
the earths atmosphere. In the present eclipse ths
red light will no doubt be very bright on the nor'n
edge of the moon owing to that edge being 80 near
the limit of the shadow, while the rect OF the moon
will be much darker, and the south edge may pe
nearly in visible The moon will be unusually near
the earth at the time of this eclipse, the distance
being 222OOO miles, The breadth OF the earths
shadow will be 900 miles. The times Of the yislpe
phases at New-York are follows: The moon en-
ters the shadow at 81 minutes past 10 Sunday morn
ing The eclipse will be total at 80 minutes past l.
and will continue total until 1S minutes past Inc
moon leaves the shadow at 81 minutes past g.
To possessors of telescopes this eclipse VIII propa
bly, offer good chance for seeing the bright poDts
on the moons disc, which the earlier astronomers
mistook for volcanoes. They are now known 10 oe
only portions of the moons surface which reiect
back an exceptionally large proportion OF hght
coming from the direction of the earth.

THE SITUATION IN LOUISIANA.

NO GENERAL ARRESTS TO BE MADE IN SHREVEPORT
ARREST OF CONSERVATIVE EDITOR IN
NATCHITOCHEs-THE MILITARY DISPLAYS con-
TINUED IN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. AND RE-
SUITS OF THE REGISTRATION - KEILOGG's
CHANCES DESPERATE.
NEw-ORLEANs, Oct. 23.-The news from North
Louisiana is a little more reassurng to-day. Gen.
Merrill is reported to have informed citizens in
Shreveport that no general arrests would be made,
and that only o few prominent examples
were contemplated. This change of front is
believed to be the consequence of the determined
stand taken by the people in signing the declaration
generally, and thus making the entire population
amenable to punishment and equally guilty. There
seems to be no probability of any respect to the
United States authorities in any event.
correspondent of The Shreveport Times writing
from Natchtoches says that Mr. Cosgrove, editor of
The Peoples Viadicdtor has been arrested upon the
pretext of being implicated in the Coushatta affair
and in the killing of negro in Natchitoches while
it is notorious fact that Mr.. Cosgrove
was at the time of the occurrence of both
events in attendance on the Baton Rouge COnven-
tiOn and did not reach home for several days after
He was not permitted to his friends nor was the
warrant for his arrest produced. The Deputy Mar
shal stated that he had warrants for the arrest Of
100 more citizens of that parish.
In this city matters are practically unchanged
The movement to disfranchise naturalized citizens
has made progress. 1t seems to have very little
if any support in law. The field. however. has not
been formally abandoned. The military display is
now constant in the principal thoroughfares. The
officers say it is intended for exercise. have Just
been looking at the official returns of registration
and find that they fully corroborate the estimates
have previously sent. COL Wright, the chief
Registrar. has returns from SO country parishes,
where. by the way, registration was almost over
some days ago. showing total Of Is, ,47s whites and
1888 blacks. This gives the negroes majority of
13.620 in the country. thus far The remaining "a
parishes will come about even. Eleven of them are
strong white parishes 1t is impossible that these
figures will change to any extent worth mentioning.
The city returns as compiled up to a late hour to-
night. show white majority of II. .447. leaving the
negroes for the State ut large 2,l73 ahead This lie
the 1900 majority Gov. KELLOGG sDeaks Of There
