many wonders unthought OF, and 1t promises
much greater results when it's details are
worked out.

much Joy and congfatulation. A number OF

Prof. Watson. Of Ann Arbor, feels conf
dent that the planet which he discovered is
Vulcan. He calculates Its distance at about
$4,000 900 miles from the earth. Its discovery
was made during the last minute OF totality,
The professor is positive that 1t is not a small
star grown brighter, or comet. vulcan, IL
will be remembered, received Its name IN
1859, when M. LoCanba,ll, OF France, claimed
to have seen 1t crossing the disc Of the sun.
Since then, until Monday, all efforts to again
bring 1t into view have proved futile.
The absence Of lines on the corona s. spec

previous eclipse observations have revealed
them. All sorts of theories are being ad-
vanced to account for their absence. That the

Draper obtained from the coronas spectrum

CINCINNATI, July 3t.--Considerable excite

Grand Hotel, the largest and finest OF our
hotels. It appears that on Saturday last VIM
Hines OF New Orleans, wealthy cotton
broker, arrived here, accompanied by his
wife. rhey came by rail, having left New
Orleans Friday. On Monday Hines COM
plained of feeling unwel, and a physician was
called in to see him, when Mrs Hines eX-
pressed the fear that yellow fever, which
they had left homo to escape had attacked
him.
A council of doctors was called last night
and they pronounced it that terrible malady.
This caused CONSERVATION in the hotel, aid
Hines was removed to q private ward in the

three men named VIM. Bryan, of Freedom,
Penn. Thos. Calihan, OF Brighton, Pa, and
VIM Smith, of Wellsvilie, Ohio, had left the
steamer John Porter at Vicksburg, which
steamer had several cases OF yellow fever on
board, and came here by rail, stopping at the
Crawford House. An attempt was made to
find them and detain them in the hospital,
but they had left town.
The board of police commissioners, who

Anxiety Over The EaectiOns-aFaan of the
Socialists and Ultraamontames.


NEW YORK, July 31.-A special cable dis
patch from Berlin to an evening paper says:
The election returns continue to be of q char
acter that gives great anxiety to the govern
ment. The result in large cities shows con-
clusively that opponents OF the government
of all shades have increased In number and in
determination.
Although every possible means have been
taken to intimidate Social Democrats and
conciliate the Ultramontanes, the vote polled
by each of these parties is larger than ever,
The defeat of Gen. Won Moltke and DR.. Falk
is considered highly significant of the existing
perilous state OF public feeling. Authentic
returns have yet been received only from the
principalites, but what Intelligence has ar
rived from the provincial districts Indicates
an increase in the opposition vote. The pre-
vailing opinion here is that the disaffection
against the government is due more to the
suffering caused by hard times than to any
other cause.

VIENNA. July 81 This city was thrown into
a state OF excitement to-day by the receipt Of
intelligence that the populace OF Bosnia Seral,
the capital Of Bosnia, has risen Ell inasse,
seized the armory, and avowed their Intention
Of resisting the entrance ofthe Austrian army
into the city at all hazards.
The MUhamluedan population Of the city,
which constitutes the majority OF the lnhab-
itants, are reported to be prominent In the re-
volt, but the Greek Christians are said to be
also concerned In 1t. The populace having
first taken possession Of the arnOry, and the
citadel which defend the city, made the prep
nrations for manning those portions OF the
ancient walls which commands the, ap.
proaches, and they avowed their intention OF
resisting the eftranee of Gen. Phillipovich at
whatever cost
The position OF the city would enable o
garrison Of skilled soldiers, furnished with
modern arms, to defend it with some success
but the army In the citadel was poorly sup
piled with arms, and 1t is thought than Gen
taking the place. Tho city contains about
30, 600 inhabitants. II occupies the deelivlties
Of several hills It contains 105 Mohamne-
dan mosques and Greek churches and few
Roman Catholic monasteries.
The first dispatch announcing the revolt
came from the city but later on telegraph
communication was suspended, and much
doubt exists as to the authenticity Of the
numerous rumors since receivedI concerning
the progress OF affairs
One account says the MOhammedan COM
mander of the city himself instigated the re-
volt, IN order tp free himself from the re-
tstADnsibility OF either surrendering the city to
Con. Phillpovioh or making what he knew
would be d futile resistance.

and the judges steamer is at the starting
point, arranging preliminaries. The signal
has been given for the men to get ready. The
crowd is not so large as on the previous days,
numbering about 10O0 but they are evidently

terested in the race. Hanlon and Ross have
just taken their positions, and the start will
be made in q few minutes.
LATER.-After the men had taken their po-
sitions the water began to get rough and they
returned to their respective quarters. Ross
refused to row, as he claimed that the course
was not smooth enough. The referee, Sheriff
Harding, has resigned his position. There
will be no race, at least not to-day.
