nlercurinI ObseryatIons.

Wrsr PoIsT, May 6.-observations for
all four contacts Of mercury, with the sun,
were successfully made to-day at the
West Point Observatory.
WASHINGTON, May G.-Transit Of Mer-
curry, in addition 10 being observed at the
Naval Observatory, was also observed by
Professor Newcomb and several OF his
assistants, who were provided with tele-
scopes at the Nautical Almanac O6ice.
The observations fully confirmed the
various results for the motion of the
perhelion OF mercury.
According 10 the observations OF Pro-
iessor Newcomb and bis assistants the
second internal contact OF Mercury with
the western edge Of the sun occurred at
SO minutes and so seconds past 8 o'clock
this aftarnoon, and the external contact
2 minutes and so seconds later. The
planet through the telescope appeared
not larger than five cent piece. The
gentlemen engaged in the work say there
could not have been better day for the
observations. Professor Eastman was at
the old telescope nj the National Obser.
yatory and Professor Hall superintended
the taking Of photographs OF the passing
planets. These photographs were pro-
duced by the means OF horizontal tele-
scope and re1ectors.
Bosros, May G.-The observations Of
the Transit Of Mercury At the Cambridge
Observatory were somewhat interiered
with by clouds, but in the afternoon a
clear sky afforded most favorable oppor.
iunity for the observation. The contact
took place several seconds later than 1926
A. N. The general results are considered
quite satisfactory.
Urea, N. Y, May 6.-Prof. Peters, Of
Hamilton College, Clinton, made success.
ful observations Of the transit oi Mer.
curry 10 o-day. The clouds inierierred
some what with the observation oil the In
ternal contact. Prof. Peters Is Of opinion
that he discovered indications OF atmos
phere on the planet.

were taken from the U. s. Observatory
to-day Of the transit OF Mercury by Prof
Andre and party, French astronomers
The transit commenced at 7:40 A. NJ, but
was soon obscured by the clouds. The sky
cleared about noon. 0nly three photo
graphs were taken up TO l P. NJ, after

Election Riot in North Carolina,

New York, May CA special from
Weldon, North Carolina says: The elec.
tion here for town commissioners was the
occasion OF a serious riot this morning
between the whites and negroes. Both
races had candidates in the field, and
great excitement prevailed. About 10
o'clock riot began, and clubs, knives
and pistols we're freely used. Quite q
number OF persons were shot, cut and
bruised. One man, q negro, will die, il
is thought, and the injuries ol several
others are regarded rs dangerous. a
military company has been telegraphed
for to Norfolk, as indications for fresh
outbreak are imminent. The presence Of
the Virginia military on the other aide ot
the river may have quieting effect.
RALEIGH, N. c., May 6.-The regular
Democratic municipal ticketa every.
where are victorious over the Radicals,
disorgsnizing Independents and Boilers.
The Eight At Weldon was dispute as TO
the negroes right TO vote, words then
blows. Capt. J. L. Emery was struck on
the head and badly hurt. Eight or ten
shots we're then fired at the rioters. John
Purnell, negro, was shot in the mouth
and breast and died In Eve hours. An.
other Niger Was wounded 10 the shoul.
der. The Sheriff, 4 Republican, spoke 10
the rioters. Then prominent neWspa'
per man spoke next. The Mayor Of the
town, Emery, and Robt. Day were bound
over in $4,000 each. The excitement wsi
great. At present everything Is quiet.
During the riot the polls were closed.

The FAN River Mills.

FALL RIVER, May G.-The stoppage oi
these plundered and bankrupted mills
has made very sensible decrease in the
production Of print cloths, some 1000
pieces a week. The examination Of the
books OF the deiunct manufactures ia
still going on, but definite reports have
not yet been made. The bills payable Of
the Sycamore Mill as far as traced are
$i30, 900, and the amount Of unrecorded
notes discovered so far by the Directors
is 100000. The payroll Of the Border
City Mill has been made up TO the time
OF The stoppage and the hands paid.
FALL RIVER, May CATS meeting oi
the stockholders OF the Border City Mills
report OF the financial condition Of the
corporation was submitted, as iollows:
Net Indebtedness s., ,053, ,6s2. Besides this
there are other debts due OF small
amounts. There are outstanding other
notes Of the corporation not appearing on
the books, which, so lar rs Information
has been received, amount to $40. 600, but
II Is supposed there are other no,es Of
this class which are not yet apparent by
the books Of the company. II appears
that Il should have on hand or on deposit
cash amounting TO Sis, ,293. The inquiry
OF all banks and bankers where deposits
have been made, has shown on deposit and
in the hands OF the corporation $9,3l9,
showing a cash deficit Of $l09,974. The
assets OF the corporation as they appear on
the schedule are Sl,090,05l. From this
valuation considerable deduction must
be made for errors arising from the
want Of information, insolvency Of
debtors and shrinkage upon much Of
the property. II the sales made in
reference to the question oil putting the
corporation into bankruptcy should be
stated, there Ia due 10 the company from
the insurance companies in Rhode Island
about 81, 900, which has been attached
by the trustee process by the creditors
In that State, and which may be held by
these attachments against the mass Of
creditors. The stockholders subsequent
ly voted 10 go into bankruptcy, and ap-
pointed J. A. Hathaway to file petition
Tor that purpose.

By Mr.. Phillips: To enable the soldiers
Of the late war TO pre-empt land to the
extent Of 100 acres.
By Mr.. Morrison: To amend the law
in relation to the tax on native wines.
Mr.. Shelley, at the request Of Messrs.
Robbins and Tucker, moved 70 suspend
the rules and pass the bill reducing the
tax on snuff and on chewing and smok-
ink tobacco 10 10 cents per pound, on
cigars 10 S. per thousand, on cigarettes,
weighing NOT more than 81 pounds to the
thousand, 81 % per thousand, and weigh.
Ing over 81 pounds S. per thousand. The
motion was not agreed to. Yeas l20,
nays l15; not two.thirds voting in the
affirmative.
The House then proceeded 10 consider
the bill establishing permanent form oil
government for the District Of Columbia.
The bill In its amended form removes the
property qualification in regard TO Com.
missioners, members Of Council, and
abolishes poll tax. It also provides for
the payment Of interest OF the 3.G5 bonds,
but declares that nothing in the act shall
be construed as an acknowledgement OF
any liability on the part Of the United
States 10 pay the principal otherwise than
as provided in the act for the issuance Of
those bonds.
The committee also reported an amend
ment limiting the rate Of taxation TO
81 75 per one hundred dollars Of real and
personal property.
Mr.. Bnckner proposed TO place the
limit at 50.
Mr.. Cox, OF New York, and Mr.. Cox,
Of Ohio, suggested that the two.dollar
rate would produce 100000 year,
and that therefore Congress would be
called upon to appropriate like sum.
Therefore the effect would be TO enconr-
age increased expenditures.
In the course OF tue discussion on this
point the question Of the liability Of the
Government for the S.65 bonds came up,
Mr.. Blackburn insisting that, under the
existing law, the Government was liable
for the interest, but not for the principal,
