THE ASTRONOMICAL EXPEDITION.
Preparations for the Trip to Africa .
Observe the Solar Eclipse.


WASHINGTON, August 21. Captain
Phythian, the Superintendent of the Naval
Observatory, said this morning that the
preparations for the expedition to Africa to
observe the total eclipse of the sun, which
occurs in December next, are being actively
pushed forward. The scientists are making
their advance calculations, instruments are
being purchased and regulated, and every
thing is being attended to that can be done
in advance. The meager: appropriation
given by Congress for this work, 5000,
necessitates very careful expenditures, and
it will be impossible to send the expedition
to st. Paul de Loando where the observa-
tions will take place, except on Govern
ment vessel.
1t was at first thought that the new
cruiser Baltimore would be selected for
this purpose, but it is now seen that she
will not be ready for sea in time for the expedi-
tion, which will have to sail about October j.
One OF the older vessels will probably be
sent over with the scientists, possibly the
Alliance, now at Norfolk.

to the effect that large amounts of cash were

THE DAY IN OIL.
Dull and Generally FeatureIess Market

n DuH ana UenernIy FeatureIess Mafket-
Prices Letting Go.
Yesterdays oil market was dull and feature
less, so far as business and conditions were
concerned, but prices assumed a lower level
than on the previous day. Neither side showed
much of disposition to trade, leaving it to be
inferred that the market is in a condition of
perplexing uncertainty.
Some show of strength was developed at the
close, which was nc better than the lowest
point reached during the day. Tuesdays
clearings were 2620gO barrels. Cash oil was
neglected. 1t will be wanted about the last of
the month.
