DARKNESS ON THE COAST.
Almost Total Eclipse of the Sun Visible
in California.

Almost Total Eclipse of the Sun Visible
in California.
A San Francisco dispatch of the lst
inst. says: The conditions were general
ly favorable to-day both in California
and Nevada for clear observation of
the total eclipse of the sun. In the city
the eclipse was only partial, about elev-
en-tweltths of the suns surface being
obscured. The weather was perfectly
clear and the eclipse was witnessed by
great number OF persons. During the
period of the greatest obscurity it be-
came quite dark and one star was
plainly seen. Half Of the totally
in California was from so to 100 miles
north of San Francisco, and trains
from that city conveyed large
number of people to the various points
favorable for the observation. The
weather at Marysville was very clear.
The first contact was about 1890. Dur
ing the progress of the eclipse, the
weather became quite cool. Several
streaks of lightning were OBJ
served. Several exposures of wet
and dry plates were made dur
ing the totallty and views will
be sent to Amherst College. Prof
S. E. Holden, of the Lick observatory,
telegraphed that the beginning of the
eclipse was successfully observed at
that point and also the last contact
Photographs were taken at 0rovilie
The clouds obscured the view of the
totality, but good view was had up to
within few minutes of that period.
The conditions were all favorable at st.
Helena. The nearest approach to
totality was at LOO P. NJ, when OBJ
servers noticed plainly with the
naked eye narrow circle of
light on the northeasterly side of
the suns disc and in an instant the
bright spot was transferred to the other
side. The appearance of the valley in
shaddowy light was weird. The party
from the Lick Observatory in charge of
Prof. j. E. Keller, made successful
observation at Bartlett springs. Prof.
Keller telegraphs that the corona was
beautifully distinct and that he saw re-
markable changes in the length of the
coronal lines. Prof. Barnato obtained
nine photographs. Prof. Hill photo
graphed all the contacts, and studied
the structure of the inner corona. Prof
Senschne made seven measurers of light
during the totaiitv.

A LA SOR WAR.
knights and Union Men WrangIe With
Revo1vers.


A Seattle, Wash. T., dispatch of the
4th says: Since New Years there had
been much wrangiing between the
Knights of Labor and the Miners
Union, two rival labor organizations at
the little coal mining town of New Castle,
eighteen miles from here. Trouble arose
over Miners Union man being given
the preference over a Knight. To-day
the Knights of Labor began an attack
upon the miners union. A force of
thirty knights cut the telegraph lines,
stationed sentinels and began assault
ing the men at the mines. The attack
ing party afterward boarded the 9
O'Clock train at New Castle, armed with
rifles end rode to Coal Creek. At that
point the regular force of the Miners
Union was attacked by the knights with
every kind of missile. The train was on q
trestle and some of the leaders were
driven and thrown off, falling seventy
feet or more. They then returned to
New Castle and assaulted men there
again. Foreman Duncan Ross was
badly injured. Torrance Mullarkey was
using his Winchester upon the Union
lists, so the Miners Union men brought
out their rifles and opened fire on the
Knights. Three men fell. Their names
are not yet known. The sheriff with a
posse went to New Castle this afternoon,
and as the fighting was very fierce he
called for the militia.

SALISBURY ON DEFENSES.
highlands Premier Talks War to Dep
utatiOn of Citizens,


A deputation headed by Lord Arm
strong visited Lord Salisbury on the
4th to urge the adoption by the govern
ment of comprehensive scheme for
the defense of the British mercantile
ports. In reply to the address of the
deputation. Lord Salisbury stated that
he sympathized with their anxiety and
said their request was justified by the
circumstances Of the day. The
enormous offensive powers Of for
eign countries might be concen-
trated against England, although
that was not likely. Continuing, Lord
Salisbury said. 'sWhile not taking a
gloomy view Of the future we must not
fail to make the necessary precautions
for defense. The responsibility of de-
Tense rests on the government, but it is
the nations duty to bear its share OF the
cost" He would not now discuss how
far the government could safely limit
the expenditures, but he would repre-
sent the views Of the deputation to bis
colleagues. Lord Salisbury's speech is
believed to ioleshadow large naval
and military programme at the next
session of parliament.

A Chicago embezzler, who packed

was captured in the latter city on the
night of the 1st. His name is Thomas
Vines, and he is the clerk ia the en-
ploy of the Adams & Westlake Manu-
featuring Company, who disappeared
with the wages of TO men. Vines con-
fessed that he took the money and
with the aid of a confederate,
whom he refuses to name, hired
room near the factory and made
preparations for flight. He blackened
up as a negro, and, secreting the money
in old stockings, threw them under
some old clothes in the bottom of one
of the biggest trunks that his accomplice
could purchase. When he thought the
vigilance of the police was some what

bezzler in the back of the trunk near

On the way to the depot Vines told
the expressman that he intended to
beat his way to st. Louis by going in the
trunk, being too poor to pay the railroad
fare. The expressman thought it risky,
but did not interfere when Vines opened
the trunk, jumped in, and snapped the
lid shut with a spring lock. The trunk
was put into the baggage room by the
expressman, the check for the trunk
being IN the possession of Vines ac-

trunk was carefully closed by the train

,4xiot on the Coal Docks at Duluth-Police
Clubbing the Strikers.
DULUTH. Mimi, Jan. 4.-Ten brave
policeman, armed only with clubs,
faced 800 enraged and desperate strik-
ing coal beavers, this morning, anu S>
prompt and energetic use of their To-
Gusts undoubtedly prevented riot that
might have reached very serious pro-
portions. While no one was killed or
fatally injured a large number of the
strikers were badly cut about the head.
Since the Inauguration of the strike
the coal beavers have shown an ugly
disposition, and have attempted to co.
cree all dock laborers to join them in
the attempt to resist the proposed cut
in wages and time. Wednesday night
dozen Scandinavians who remained at
work were assaulted by mob and bad
~ beaten. At 10 o'clock to-day fully 800
strikers made dash Tor 80 Italians who
were at work on North Western Dock
No. l. Tie strikers were armed with
clubs and stones.
The police 5ave been on constant
duty since the trouble assumed seri-
Gus phase, and had formed a line
around the Italians. The officer in
charged OF the squad warned the strik-
ers to disperse, but no attention was
paid to the command. Seeing what
they deemed weak spot In the line of,
guards the men rushed in a body for it.
For time it looked as if they would
succeed in the A empt to break the
line. At very clItical period ten of
the best policemen on the force rushed
from behind some box cars and with
drawn clubs beat back the strikers.
For few minutes the fight was hotly
waged, but the heavy clubs in the hands
of the officers soon did their work, and
the strikers fell back, with shouts of
"Down with the dogs" Eve want 81
day." and similar cries.
The men who are at work will be af-
forded police protection both to and
from their homes. Chief of Police
Doran has planned the system of pro-
lection admirably, and his personal
talks with the strikers have produced
better effect than anything which has
come from the coal companies. Both
sides are hfnl, and the strikers appear to
haye<the worst Of it.

sage from the Pope to the Irish people
in which his holiness said: "We have
always held in special affection the
Catholics of Ireland, who have been
sorely tried by many Affections, and
have ever cherished them with love
which is more intense because
Of their marvellous fortitude
and hereditary attachment to
their religion. In the counsels we have
given from time to time, and in our re-
cent DEGREES we were moved not only
by the consideration OF what is con-
formable to the truth, but also by the
desire to advance your interests. Our
affection for you does not suffer us to
allow the cause for which Ireland is
struggling to be weakened by the intro
duction of anything which could fairly
be brought in reproach against it. In
order to specially manifest our affection
we send you a number of gifts which
are specially blessed"

of the deepest consideration.
Secretary Bayard answered that by
virtue of his position it would not be
proper for him to express an opinion. i
Senator John I. Morgan thought the
central European nations furnish
good citizens and immigration from
those countries should be encouraged
with proper restrictions.

Tidal Wave.


The steamship Anchoria, from Glas-

York on the 1st inst. December "a, at l
A. NJ. during strong westerly gale and
high sea, series Of terrific waves
came sweeping down from the north
and across the regular sea, the heaviest
one striking the vessel on the bluff OF
the bow, causing her to keel heavily,
and as the blow was accompanied
with crashing sound, as if
several heavy cannon had been fired
off simultaneously fore and aft. and
above and below, the shock gave the
impression that the vessel had run into
stone quay. The passengers in the
fore and middle part of the vessel were
thrown topsy turvy, but soon managed
to scramble to the entrances to the deck,
where they remained peering out
through the spray into the darkness
and trembling with fear until treasured
by the officers that the vessel was
sound and that there was no danger.
The series of about six waves seemed
to be of the tidal wave kind. No dam
age was done.

NEW WATERWAY PLAN.

1t is Proposed to Connect Lake Superior
With the Lake of the Woods

sion, in its annual report to the govern
or. recommends that steps be taken
toward investigating the practibility of
establishing a waterway from the head
of Lake Superior through Rainy Lake
River, Rainy Lake and Lake of the
Woods, thus giving the Red River re-
gion on both sides of the international
line direct connection with the water
ways of the world. The commission
ers' idea is to have the scheme investi-
