Especial Correspondence Of tho Alexandria Gazette.

Especial Correspondence Of tho Alexandria Gasette
WASHINGTON. y. O.. Sept. l, 1885.
An examination of applicants for Office
will be held in this city on the 9th of
September by the civil service examiners.
The announcement sets forth that the ex-
animation will be for stenogrepaers, females
particularly desired. BY this appears that
the commission will violate its own rule,
No. 49,, which especially exempts persons
whose employment is exclusively profes
sional. The opinion is growing daily that
the present Board will have to be renewed,
and thorough overhau,ing of the rules
made CONSTANT with an honest administra.
ton Of the same.
A gentleman, from Fairfax Court House.
here to-day, says that nobody there knows
definitely whether or not Mr.. Farr will &C.
cept the Malone nomination for the House
of Delegates, in that county, but that it is
supposed he will, as it is understood Gen.
eral Malone desires him to do so, and he
does everything the General wants him to
do. The gentleman referred to, also says
that during the temporary absence of the
jaior at Fairfax Court House last night, the
two negro men arrested in Washington
about a month ago for burglary at Herndon,
and brought there and imprisoned, asked
for water, and that when the cook, negro
woman, unlocked the door Of their cell TO
give them some, they knocked her down
and escaped and are still at large.
Congressman Willis, of Kentucky, is here
to-day. He says the reason no river and
harbor bill was passed at the last session
was not because the House was opposed to
such bill, but because the river and har
Dor committee that reported it was not
united. Mr.. Willis thinks that the fact that
many of the river and harbor improvements
which have been commenced are being dam
aged by the suspension of work will induce
Congress to be liberal with regard to appro.
priations to complete them next winter. He
also thinks that Congress will at its
next session make considerable reductions
in the tariff, and that he will again be chair
man of the river and harbor committee.
The fact that there is some uncertainty
about the exact amount of the appropriation
for the Richmond custom house in conse-
quence of two different sums being provided
for in the appropriation bills, has been pre-
viously alluded to in this correspondence.
The matter is now before the Solicitor of the
Treasury, who, it is expected, will render
his decision in day or two.
Ex-Attorney General ,Semms, of Louisi-
ana, has been appointed chief of the fraud |
division of the land bureau of the Interior
Department. It is understood the appoint
ment was made by Secretary Lamar with.
out consulting Commissioner Sparks, and |

After waiting patiently for three DAYS
for favorable news from the railroad bill.
only to learn that the Governor had
heartilessly strangled our promising pet
we turned to prepare for the celestial
tnaryels youchsafed to this favored re-
gion, and advertised to come OFF on
Monday morning from eight to twelve
o'clock. For week previously Nature
smiled her brightest smile, and a kindly
sun Illuminated our valley and shot its
glimmering beams far up the mountains
sides. On Monday, however. instead Of
bright sunlight, the lowering clouds sent
down shower of snow, and for a few
minutes only could old Sol be seen.
AT Maybe, thirty-fye miles west of
Bozeman, large number of Helena ex-
cursionists gathered to witness the
phenomena, so seldom seen. and were
compelled to gaze at the falling flakes
instead.
At, Bozeman We were privileged to
catch glimpses of the sun, through the
riffs of the clouds, until 1913, when the
moon passed directly between us and
the suns face, and cast its shadow upon
the earth. depriying this portion of the
earth of all sun light, By the density of
the clouds it therefore becams impossi-
BILE to view the sun with the naked eve,
and those who wished to witness the UNI
frequent eclipse, were doomed to dissa-
pertinent.
The annular or ring eclipse covers only
the middle of the sun, leaving it's edge
visible all around like a bright ring of
light, as shown in figure (SJ. If the
moon always passed exactly between the
earth and the sun there would be an
eclipse ofthe sun every month at new
moon, but it sometime passes above and
sometimes below a line between them.
The annulus described a path eighty
miles in width, and would have been
visible from Livingston to CIaysoil on
the Northern Pacific.
Sunday and Monday the clock of the
Washington Observatory was connected
