a CONGRESS OF sNEEzERs.
The Best Record Made by a Philadel
phian With Hay Fever.
From, the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
The sneezsrs of the United States, who
are known as the Hay Fever Association.
have just completed their sixteenth annua
session at Bethlehem. N. H. This organi-
cation, which Henry Ward Beecher put
such life into, still meets regularly once n
year, cracks jokes, and tells stories to keen
up the spirits of the hay fever-vi victim mem
bers, talks of ways and means to dry up
tear duets, and provide noise subduers for
sneezers, and, IN word, fights an annual
battle against the disease that makes such
market for pocket-handkerchiefs.
Col. M. Richards Muckle of the Public
Ledger and DR.. Edward Townsend were
among Philadelphias delegates to the con-
ventlon, and sneezed enough to give Phiia-
delphla the reputation Of being the biggest
city in the country. Col. Muckle made a
big impression by his speech before the as
socIatlon. There were tears in every eve
and pocket handkerchiefs at every nose as
he told of the $4,000 he had spent in forty
eight years to get the better OF his nose. He
said that cauterization of the nasal nerves
was the only remedy. He had tried it him
sen. lime was when IN going from Provi-
dence to Bethlehem he mad sneezed l 200
times according to tally kept by the con
'ductor, and used up SO many handkerchief
that he had to make wash line ont of the
bell rope in the car. On his last trip ne only
snoze twenty-five times, and didn't have to
have a special car, thanks to his cauteriza-
ton scheme
The sneezing and crying was redoubled
when DIR. Edward Townsend of this citv
told the convention that hay fever was n
moral disease; that it never attacked New
York a.dermen or convicts, and that its
worst victims we're always brainv peonle
like himself. President Lock wood, in an
address, estimated that there were at least
SUo,oOO sneezers In the United States, ali
more or less addicted to tears.

PHO TIE OLD JUPITER.

He Steps Behind Luna When He
Crosses Her Path.
Dame Luna would have blushed last night
if she had been close enough to earth to see
the opera glasses that we're leveIed at her
while she hid old Jupiter behind her skirts.
The occultation of Jupiter by the moon
was easily observed. The sky was partly
clear and partly cloudy, but the clouds
easily seen as it disappeared behind the
lesser. The approach of Jupiter to the
moon was pretty sight. 1t apparently
Travelled toward the the moon. The ex-
tiuction of the light was not instantaneous.
1t fingered on the eastern side in the dark
shadow for while and then
slowly disappeared. The exact
beginning of the occultation was
%. Ann. and Sos At 10h. 3lm. and ASS the
occulted began to emerge from behind the
moon on the western side. A bank of hazY
clouds partly obscured Old Luna during the
oceultation and for a while after, but it did
not prevent fair observation, as the planet
could be easily distinguished through the
heecy covering.
All over the city people watched the phe-
nomenon from door steps and house roofs.
and field glasses, telescopes and opera
glasses were brought out to view the occul-
latlOu. Except LOT Tue light clouds the
night could not have been a more favorable
one.
Calculations are valuable to the astrouo-
mer as furnishing one of the best means of
determining longitude, and it is for this
purpose that a large number of these are
given in the nautical almanac They also
furnish one Of the best means Of testing the
lunar and planetary tables
The next occultation of Jupiter visible in
this country will take place on Aug. Is.
1892, year which will ever be memorable
in the annals of astronomy, as the one con-
tanning far more than the average number
of planetary occultations, there being no
less than thirty in all.

A BLAZE IN BUFFALO.
Almost Three Million Dollars
Worth in Ashes.
EXCITING SCENES AT THE FIRE.
A Large Number of Fine Business
Buildings Laid in Ruins
BY the Flames.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
BUFFALO, February 2.-This morning.,
between and O'Clock, flames destroyed
fully 100000 worth of property on
Seneca street, Exchange streets and ad-
joining streets. The following buildings
were destroyed: Hoffeld's leather and
betting works, National Express Com
pany's barn, Jewett & Com pany's stove
warehouse, Root & Keating, sole leather;
Sibley & HOLLYWOOD, candy Swift & Stem
bach, stoves;S. F. Egan and A. T. Kerr,
wholesale liquor dealers; Groesel and
Arlington, houses; Danbury Hat Com
pany; T. W. Reynold, shoes; ]. Z.
Lewis & Company, wholesale grocers ;;
Sidney, Sheppard & Company, tinware;
Henry Hern, candy Fowler & Sons, car
riage hardware, and a number of other
buildings. The fire is still burning, but
under control.
A strong wind was blowing, and the
flames soon had good hold on the build
ing. AT 3 .25 the rear Of the six. story
brick building of Sbley & HOLLYWOOD,
adjoining, caught fire. 1t contained
nearly fifty tons of starch, which burned
like tinder, carrying the flames over the
entire building. From there the flames
were communicated to Swift & Stam-
bach's and T. G. Reynolds stores and
the Broezel Hotel. The guests hastily
moved their baggage. To add to the
difficulties of the firemen, the sleet began
to fall in torrents.
The scene on Carroll street is appall-
ing. On the north side of the street the
Sibley and Hollywood buildings are in
ruins, and the Jewett building is blazing
from basement to roof. At AIS the walls
of the Jewett block fell with shock that
fairly shook the surrounding walls. A
frantic struggle was made to get out the
horses from the stable next to the Jewett
block. By 4:15 the front of the Broezel
House fell in with a laundering crash,
the firemen in front narrowly escaping
death. Despite the efforts of the firemen,
Eagan's whisky store was in full blaze.
There was nothing to do but leave the
fire torun its course. By 5 O'Clock the
Seneca street stores up to Shepard's had
been gutted.
The principal losses are figured as fol-
lows: Root 4 Heating, $3.50 900; their
tenants, 100000; S. S. Jewett & Co.,
$2O0,0 900; Broezel House, $1600O0; Sib-
ley & Holmnwood, $150,000; Fowler q
Sons, SO,O00; S. f. Eagan, $40, 600; A.
7. Kerr & Co., $4,000; Strootman build
ing and tenants, $500, 900; losses on Ex-
change street, $75, 900; losses on North
side Seneca, 5000, 900; other losses. $780,
900. Total, $2,7S5 1000. Opinions have
been given, however: that the entire loss
will not fall short of $3,000,000.
The area included In the burned dis
trict is roughly estimated at seven or
eight acres. The number of buildings
destroyed or gutted is forty.
One fireman was killed, and another
injured, by the falling Of the rear walls
of the Arlington Hotel.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-02-03

PRINCE RUDoLPH's death is one OF the
events of history which is forever to re-
main more or less mystery, as to the
Immediate means by which it was ac-
complished, and also as to the motive
for his taking off. The story Of the in
trigue and of the duel is in all probabili-
ties correct; but all sorts of means will
be taken to throw doubt on it, and to
surround the event with darkness.
Among the guessing being done that of
lie Soir is absolutely picturesque in its
boldness. This French journal intimates
that Prince Bismarck is behind the MUIR
der, and that it is one of long series of
assassinations carried on to rid the Man
of Blood and Iron of those who opposed
his plans. In this long chain of
crime, as drawn out by lie Soir,
the links are Skobeloff, Katkoff,
Chanzy, Gambetta, the Emperor Fred
erick and Prince Rudolph. There are a
great many people in and out of Ger
many who are willing to believe great
deal about Bismarck, but there are few
who will 20 80 far as lie S0ir.

Got Out of tho Scrape,

SACRAMENTO, February &c. P. Hall,
theatrical manager of San Francisco and
Sacramento, appeared in the police court
this afternoon on charge of bigamy,
preferred by his first wife. His attorney
created something of sensation by stat
ing that, as no one pretended Hall
was married to the woman with whom
he was living in Sacramento, it was not
evident how the charge of bigamy could
be sustained. The complainant's attor-
ney then moved for a dismissal of the
present charge, saying that second one
would be made when the proper docu-
ments were received from the East. The
court, accordingly, dismissed the case.

Ths Aus,ralian, Atarmed,

WAsHIxaTox, February 2.-The Sesre-
tary of State to-day received cable from
the United States Commissioner to the
Melbourne Exposition, saying that the
Federal Council has adopted an address to
the Crown, viewing, with deep anxiety,
recent events in Samoa, and favoring
treaties guaranteeing the independence OF
Samoa, and, also, expressing the opinion
that foreign domination of Samoa endan-
gers the safety of Australia.
Secretary Bayard said he regarded the
action of the Australian authorities on
the Samoan question as very important,
inasmuch as it indicated that the people
of that large and prosperous colony
looked at the situation pretty much in
the same light as the American people
do, and were not disposed to look favor
ably upon foreign nencroachments in their
vicinity.

The Oklahoma Raiders.

CALDWELL, Kas., February 2.-Okla-
homa Harry Hill and Frank Albright
arrived here this evening from the camp
of the Boomers, near Hunnewell. The
object of their visit to the camp was to
intercede with Pawnee Bill and persuade
him to make no move until the bill
had passed the Senate, as it was not
the object of the colony to antagonize
the government if they could possibly
avoid it. Pawnee Bill did not like the
idea of poetponing his raid, but agreed to
consider the matter, and in the mean
time the raiders will change their base
of operations from Arkansas City and
Hunnewell to this city. 1t is expected
that Pawnee Bill will arrive here on
Monday with large crowd of settlers,
and the citizens are wild with en-
thusiasm.

BRUTAL BALTOUR.
He Declines to Mitigate O'Brien's
Sufferings In the Least.

CuAACAA AAR AAA shAO hCeoss
DUBLIN, February 2.-Thomas Sexton
yesterday telegraphed Balfour, Chief See
retary for Ireland, saying that the treat
ment to which William O'Rrien is SUBJ
iected since his incarc Grafton in Clonmel
Jail had excited intense disgust in Ireland.
Sexton says that for thirty-six hours
O'Brien has remained naked, snd is now
apeechless. The prison officials, coneid-
ering OBrien's condition critical, had
telegraphed to Balfour for orders.
Sexton therefore urged Balfour to issue
orders that the violent treatment OF
O'Brien be at once stopped, and warned
him that public anger was rapidly near
ing the point where restraint would be
impossible. Balfour did not reply, and
Sexton sent messenger to the Vice
Regal Lodge at 5 A. M, with request for
an answer. Balfour appeared and called
the man a cur, and declared he would
not answer Sexton's message. He also
rebuked the policeman on duty at the
lodge for allowing the people to disturb
him. Arrangements are being made for
holding meetings everywhere in Ireland
to express indignation at the treatment of
O'Brien.

GermanY,s Grab bing.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 2.-The
schooner Dashing Wave arrived to-day
from Juluit, Marshall Islands, where
Malistoa, the deposed King of the Sa-
moan Islands, was placed by the Ger
mans. Captain Chapman reports that
many of the islands in the South Pacific
Ocean are gradually being brought under
German influence. He states that Pleas
ant Island, few miles south of the
Equator, has been seized by Germany.
The Captain declares that the authority
of Germany in the Marshall group is
supreme, and that commerce is hampered
by excessive charges and useless restric-
tions.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-02-03

ONE of the many good reasons why the
mortgage tax now in force in this State
should be repealed is that debentures
drawing thirteen to fifteen per cent.
interest are not saleable at the East.
Large corporations at the East, when
they lend money, desire paper which is
readily negotiable in the market. Aware
that a squeeze may oyertake them some
time, they wish to be in position to
make turn easily. But paper at enor-
NOUS rates of interest is regarded with
suspicion by the bankers of the East.
None Of our representatives at the State
capital has yet introduced bill to repeal
this tax law. Let the odious and in
furious affair 60.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-02-03

A DISPATCH from Santa Ana in the
telegraphic department of the HERALD
indicates an earnestness of feeling there
in favor of county division. At meeting
held there last evening it was Indignantly
denied that any effort was made to in1u-
ence legislation on this head by means
of q corrupt use of money. That the
people advocating the dismemberment of
Colusa county sent word to those who
favor the erection of Orange county out
of part of Los Angeles county, that
money would be needed, is true in spite
of all denials. A meeting was held at
Santa Ana and about 81 900 subscribed
for the purpose of getting the bill through
the Legislature, and committee was
appointed to raise, in all, $1,000
for that purpose. How we'll this
committee succeeded has not been made
known; but no amount of denial will do
away with theee facts. What sort of use
was this sum to be put to, if not a corrupt
one? There ought to be terms Of court
held at Santa Ana, Pomona and other
parts of the county. The Tax Collector
should also arrange to collect taxes in
many portions of Los Angeles. These
measures will afford all the relief needed
for while, and the time is not ripe for
the division of the county. In due time
Los Angeles will be carved into half q
dozen counties, on lines which will be
permanent. Any division made now
will not answer five years hence. The
will have to be remodeled,
and confusion of the most tangled sort
will be the result.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-02-03
the bill, as amended, will be further con-
sidered next week.
THE OKLAHOMA BILL.

THE OKLAHOMA BILL.
WASHINGTON, February 2.-An import
ant proviso in the Oklahoma bill, passed
by the House yesterday, is one recitiDg
that nothing in the act organizing the
Territory shall be construed to authorize
any person TO enter upon or occupy any
lands in the Cherokee outlet and Okla
homa proper, for settlement or other
wise, until after the Indian tribes and
the Commissioners, provided for in the
bill, have concluded an agreement to
that effect. After the agreement has been
made it shall be laid before the Presi-
dent, who is authorized, and required,
to issue his proclamation declaring such
relinquished lands open for settlement and
fix the time from and after which such
lands may be taken. 1t is provided
that any person who may enter upon
any part of the land contrary to the e
provisions, and prior to the time fixed
by the Presidents proclamatien n, shall
not be permitted to make entry upon
any lands, or lay any claim thereto, in
the Territory.
