to the Worlds report of the late in
'crview, was evidently annoyed when
several Senators gathered around him,
and opened up quite lively discussion
presumably about the interview. He
seemed to be explaining the affair by
endeavoring to deal with it in a very
light and trivial manner, but the fact
that the situation was quite embar-
raising to him, was very apparent to
all around him. When he arose to
offer a petition, there was somewhat
of rush to the front of the galleries :,
but he kept from any allusion to the
interview. From what we can gather
the publication has injured him no
little, and although his associates in
Congress are very reticent, yet low
down in their Senatorial bOsOms CT Il
be discerned the feeling of loathe-
someness and contempt. Taken all
together he has certainly gained moth
ing by the episode, and the temporary
sensation has exploded and fallen
from public attention.

The Piute fandango is still in full blast, and
on Wednesday crowds of whites were out to

beaten down by the dancing. They had just

sage brush and cedar roots for fuel, whilst
some of the bucks were stretched out on their

flaming red blankets of the bucks, and the

heads OF the squaws. In the central space the
children danced and sported, throwing
showers of dust over each other and yelling
xoeiferously: Many of the squaws were nurs-

The Sun.Doctors Differ.

All me astronomers who have taken OBJ
seryatlOnS OF the late solar eclipse from sta
lions in the West agree in the Importance of
the revelations made. The great luminary Is
pronounced to be in a state of comparative
law OF the periOdicity Of sun spots, they ap-
pear to have been somewhat unprepared. Only
one prOturberance was noted, and the corona
gave continuous spectrum from which the
green line 1474 was missing, showing, ac-
cOrding to Prof. Draper, that It consists of
band Of continuous light solely due to retiec-
sequent lack Of masses of ignited yapor pro-
jected beyond the chrOmOsphere, is held to ac-
count for the absence Of the green line, which
very ep light gas, and which is called Ream f Tor
want OF a better term. This apparent lessen
ing of the vitality of the sun appears to Prof.
Draper as something which at the first blush
should inducewOnderfulc changes in the climate
of the earth, but In the fact that no such
mutations are noted on this globe he concludes
that the abnormal condition of the sun at the
IL year period OF maximum sun spots counts
but little against the total amount of heat sent
out at all times" He therefore sees no pOr-
tent of ill to climate or crops 10 the activity or
YER. the lannon's Enslisb : .stron,,n .S'so, ~ e
sence OF the green line shows great reduc-
tfon in the temperature of the sun, and should.
ne ne tninks' produce corresponding changes on
thS earth. he would not be surprised at Seri-
Gus results and radical climate variations. The
connection between sun spots and drOughts
Wnicn produce famines, he holds proven. Ter
ieoliloA mdSutilSIH he points out, mas been
less energetic during the past four years than
during the preceding 40. Mr.: Morton, of tie
Stevens Institute, follows the English scientist
in gloomy, or rather fiery forecasts. He, too,
is surprised that no great changes have occur
red The absence of the green line shows that
the self,luminous gaseous matter previously
observed in the corona is only a temper
ary occupant. He thinks that te sees
rry that the sun is fed by meteorites, huge
iron bolts fired at Old Sol, and he cannot
shake from his mind the belief that such
changes are liable to occur on earth as would
made the pole tropical. 1t is comforting that
Prof. lanyard of England agrees with our
American astronomer, DR.. Draper, and is not
prey to fears of an intolerable increase of
solar heat on the earth or its equally intolera-
BILE diminutiOn. Prof. Loder also keeps his
Imagination cool. We presume that little
later these learned sun doctors will come a
little nearer to an agreement ON the tempera-
ture of their illustriouS patient, but at present
the average citizen, while convinced that
there Is great astronomical eruditiOn just now
at Denver, will have chance for choosing his
own favOrite from the many contradictory
deductions drawn " astronomers. The grow
ing certainty about the discovery Of the new
star at only fifteen million miles from the sun
looks like the probability of great postum
