METEORIC SHOWERS AND SHOOTING
STARS

MEL LOhlO oIlOW EhS AND SHOOTING
STARS.
Referring to your yesterdays issue in
which you publish the prediction Of Prof
lice regardingthe Mcteoric display, would
venture to state, that you must have been or.
roneously informed pertaining to the date on
which this grand display should take place,
as also to the year upon which the gentle.
man IN question bases his prediction.
There is no doubt but what there was a
moderate display of shooting stars on the
morning Of November 10, 1882, but this
was by far excelled the following year on
the morning of November 10, 1888, when
throughout most of North America, shoot
ing'stars appeared in such enormous num-
bers that 1t became an absolute impossible
ity for the respective observers to count
them. At Boston, Mass, on the same morn
ing 1t is stated the number of falling mcte-
ors were estimated at $40 per minute. Most
of these mcteors moved in paths which, if
traced backward would meet in a single
point, or small area, situated near Loonis.
IL is this, the year and also date upon
which Prof Tice found his prediction for
repetition of the Phenomenon this
ycaG as you will notice in an
extract from the kansas City Review
Of science which shall copy for the bene
fit and information of your readers, and ia
as follows
"A few days after the occurrence Of the
great meteors shower, on the night of the
9th Of November, 1872, | published
theory Of the cause of these phcnomena,
and stated that on the Sth of Sept, 1879,
the Astronomical! event to which attributed
them would occur within eight hours and
twenty minutes of the time it did in 1888,
which was followed by the memorable
mctcoric shower of November 18th. in tina.
year. Should the brilliant shower be re-
peatcd on the morning Of the 18th Of No.
vember next, it must be accepted as a yersi
tication of theory.
The brilliant meteoric shower that occurs
on the 18th Of November, is repeatedly re-
corded in ancient and modern hsory, Is.
pecally by the Arabs, who lived under a
less cloudy sky in Arabia, Egypt,
Morocco and Spain than the people
Of Northern Europe do. These
showers always inspired awe,

ever Witnessed because the people believed
them minons Of an impending calamity
The brilliant shower that occurred on the
night Of the eth OF November 1872, was
not observed in the United States, because
on that night the continent generally va,
covered bya cloud. and where the sky Was
not cloudy the signal officers OF the United
States Army reported it either AS smoky OK
hay. 1t was, however, generally observed
IN Europe, where the sky was clear, and on
board Of ships on the Atlantic, ard from
Greenland to Brazil.
According to the above then, your readers
may rest their eyes until Thursday Noycm
Der, the 18th, on which night, if the SKY i,
clear, they will in all likelihood witness

rare occasions smiles upon the face of GA

OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALEXANDER COUNTY
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1879-07-01

London, June 30.-The Standard has
the following under date of Durham,
June 9: The coffin containing the re-
mains of the prince imperial on its ar
rival at Pieter Maritzburg was wrapped
in French colors, the princess sword
and helmet were placed thereon and
his horse led after it.
In the skirmish in which Adjutant
Firth of the lancers was killed the ene-
my numbered IL 800 and were repulsed
by the cavalry, many being killed.
More peace messengers have come in
to Lord Chelmsford's camp. The mes
sengers were informed of the additional
terms of peace, which are:' The kings
regiment to disarm, Cetewayo not to
assemble an army for five years, the
king to pay fine of two bullocks for
every male Zulu. considerable rortion
Of the cattle to be distributed to the
chiefs who surrendered to England ;and
an English resident to be placed at Ul-
undi.-
The terms have not yet been ans
wered.
A despatch from lower Tugela of
June 10th, says three of the peace mes
sengers declare that any terms will be
acceptable.

Zulu News

London, June 30.-It seems certain
at last, thatthe peace overtures of King
Cetewayo are bonafide. A dispatch
from Gen. Woods camp says: The
messengers have been recognized as i'm
portant persons by native spies. While
palavering with Lord Chelmsford, the
Zulu army was reported to be advanc-
ing on Gen. Woods camp. The mes
sengers readily agreed to be shot if the
report proved true. The report being
unfounded, the messengers were releas-
ed. Lord Chelmsford, after stating his
terms, declared before treating further,
that two cannon captured at Isandula
and some hostages must be given up.
The messengers asked Lord Chelmsford
to halt, pending the answer. He re.
fured.
A correspondent says: The quarter
master general disobeyed Lord Chelms
ferd's orders by sending the prince Oh
so dangerous an expedition, the scort,
Of which deserted its duty. In th,
whole affair there is not one redeeming
feature. The ship Orentes, with the
body of the prince, is expected to reach
England by the 9th of July.
A dispatch from Utrecht, dated June
9th, says: Yesterday a body: .oi
Zulus raided a farm within mile Of
Luneberg. A small detachment rallied
from Luneberg but finding Zulus il
strong hill position, retired.

Western Cattle Trade.

New York, June 30.-The Bulletin
of to-day says: The opening of this
seasons trade In western cattle is now
near at hand. Within the next fort
night the arrivals of Colorado, Wyo-
ming and Montana cattle are expected
to be larger than ever before. More
than three-forths of the cattle product
OF that region find their way to Chicago.
The latest report from the plains is,
that east from Ogallala the cattle win
tered poorly and will be from two to
four weeks late, while west of that
point they came through in good condi-
tion and will be ready for market as
early as last season.

Storning Strikers.

Fall River, Mass, June 3O.-A
slight disturbance occurred at the Mer-
chants mill this afternoon. The corpo-
ration has several out Of town spinners
quartered over the Office, a
small building in the mill yard. A
crowd of young men from sixteen to
twenty years Of age gathered in the
street near the building, threw stones
through the open window and created
considerable disturbance. The police
dispersed the crowd. Two spinners
left town tonight tonight to solicit
aid in New York and New Jersey and
six or eight other spinners have been
sent through New England.

Good for America.

Chicago, June 30.-A London Times
special says: The weather continues
seriously embarrassing to agricultural
pursuits. Another bad harvest is ex-
pected, which means large imports of
American wheat. Prices of all kinds
Of food products are increasing which
strengthens the cause of free trade,
though there is no Improvement in
manufacturing. Mr.. Foster, the menu
Der of parliament for Bradford, made
a great antiprotection speech last night.
he said there could be but one mean
ing OF protection or reciprocity and
that was tax on food. The people of
England would never stand such a tax.

mentioned in any section of this act until
an appropriation sufficient to meet such
contract or pay such liability, shall
have first been made by law"
Upon reconsideration in the House
of Representatives of the bill which
contained these provisions it lacked
a constitutional majority, and therefore
failed to become a law. In order to
secure its enactment the same measure
is again presented for my approval,
coupled in the bill before me with the
appropriations for the support of
marshals and their deputies during the
next fiscal year. The object manifestly
is to place before the executive this
alternative, either to allow necessary
functions of public service to be Grip
pied or suspend for want OF appropria-
tions required to keep them in opera
tion, or to approve legislation, which in
official communications to Congress, he
has declared would be violation Of
his constitutional duty. Thus in this
bill the principle Is clearly embodied
that by virtue of the provisions of the
constitution which require that "all
bills for raising revenue should origin
ate in the House Representatives,
a bare majority of the House Of
Representatives has no right to with
hold an appropriation for the support
of the government unless the executive
consents to approve any legislation
which may be attached to appropria-
tion bills.
respectfully refer to the communi-
cations on this subject which / have
sent to Congress during its present ses-
sion, for statement of the grounds of
my conclusions, and desire here merely
to repeat, that, in my judgment, to
establish the principle of this bill is to
make a radical, dangerous and uncon-
stitutional change in the character of
our institutions.
[Signed. RUTHERFORD B. HAYES,
Executive Mansion, June 30, 1879.

. NO BREAK.
THE DEMOCRATIC RANKS SOLID.
10 More Concessions The Strikers The
Cattle Trade--About Cox.-Zulu
News--Resignation.-
Etc, Etc.
How stalwart rhey Are.

Washington, June 30.-The story OF
an alleged bargain for the votes Of the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth southern
representatives to procure the passage
of the marshals' appropriation bill
without the riders (which was quoted
but discredited in these dispatches last
night, has been entirely exploded to-
day.
A careful inquiry proves also that
there is no prospect of any break in
the democratic ranks upon this ques-
tion for any cause or in any contingen-
cy at all likely to arise. The democrats
in both branches of congress appear to
be unanimously in favor of not only ad-
journing as soon as the veto is received,
but of adjourning Immediately after
the possible call.
Even such conservative democrats
as Alex. II. Stephens now unite with
the rest of the party in open expressions
Of this determination.
Stephens said to-day, with reference
to the marshals' appropriation bill: 81
am for sending it to the president as
often as he calls us together without
dotting an i' or crossing IT. and am
willing to set here and do that until
the Forty-sixth congress expires" He
added that he did not know of a single
democrat in the house who could not be
relied upon to fight out this controversy
to the end.
Senator Ben Hill who has been one
of the most conservative counsellors in
all of the democratic caucauses hereto
fore held this session, asserts positively
that no southern democrat will make
any further concession.
Chairman Atkins says 81 shall not
report the bill again. In fact l shall
not call a meeting of the committee on
appropriations until next December,
unless congress gets into general legis-
lation and in that event we will not re-
port any other bill in relation to mar
shals.n
1t is therefore evident that the domi-
nant party has reached the sticking
point" and a later despatch tonight
may very possibly convey to your read
ers informotion that In view of this
firm determination President Hayes has
concluded to abandon all purpose of
calling another extra session.

London, June 30.-A special dispatch
dated Freterraritzburg June 9 an
nounces that the peace messengers have
returned to Cetewayo. Virtually there
is fortnight's armi3tice.
Nearly all special dispatches to the
London newspapers from the cape
agree in pronouncing the peace over

New York, June So.-The Times to-
day says Chestine Cox, the brutal fell
low who killed Mrs. Hull for her jew
elry, is fast becoming hero of a GER
tain sort. He is daily made subject Of
more or less numerous interviews, and
his opinion noted, together with the de-
tails of his toilet and manner of passing
time.
His counsel has announced theory
OF defense, which, naturally turns on
insanity.
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1879-07-01

that there has been reconcilement
between Hill and Stephens, brought
about through the good offices of mu-
tual friends. The correspondent says
every citizen of the state will be rejoic-
ed at this reconciliation, appearing as
it does to be sincere and promising to
be permanent.

New York, June 30.-The Tribune
to-day says Spain is now striving to
wiring satisfaction from Santo Domin-
go and has gone so far as to order two
war vessels to blockade the coast, If her
demands are rejected. 1t may make an
affair in which the mediation of the
United States could be profitably exer-
cised.
1t is not desirable that any American
island should be subject to the dicta-
tion of an European power.

SENATE.
Washington, June 30.-The House
joint resolution to adjourn sine die at
O'Clock p. m. to-day being up. Mr..
Window objected to present consider
tion and the resolution goes over till
tomorrow, Window stated that he
regretted to be obliged to object, but
as it was in his power to prevent the
majority from adjourning to-day with
out passing the appropriation bills for
which Congress was convened, he
thought it his duty to give them a
night to think over their resolution
and come to better one.
Chandler then arraigned the demo-
