HARRISON ON A PURE BALLOT.

 Question Of Partisanship.

It Is a ESatter Above and Beyond Any
 Question os Psrtisanship.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 3.--The news that Sen ator Frank Hiscock, of Syracuse, is on bis way hither was pasted on the street bulletins. The general understanding that he is friendly to Platt and Blaine is tempered by vast doubt as to what his mission may be.
 The second subject which has monopolized attention is the speech Gen. Harrison made in bidding good-by to Thomas Post, G. A. R.
 The versions published in local papers as authoritative have Q mellow tone, which the comrades who heard the speech agree does not echo the red hot spirit which breathed in Harrison's remarks. They caught the im- pression that the president-elect meant busi- ness, so far as rule in the south was concerned, but none save comrades was admitted, and so no literal report of the address was made, One passage is said to be accurately quoted as follows: ''I would like to hear a bugle call throughout the land demanding pure bal lot This is matter above and beyond any question of partisanship, and l feel that express the sentiment of every comrade present when declare that a free ballot hon. estly expressed and fairly counted is the main safeguard of OUT institutions, and its suppression under any pretext whatever can not be tolerated"

The Czarina Failing.

LONDON, Jan. 3.-Ever since the wrecking of the czar's train at Borki the czarina has suffered from mental depression, which has increased to a point causing the utmost anxiety for her health. Her symptoms closely resemble the melad yOwith which her sister, the Duchess of Cumberland, was afflicted some time ago, and Professor Bothin, the czarina's regular physician, has advised the czar to nave her treated by Professor Leidesdsrf, of Vienna, under whose treat ment the Duchess of Cumberland was cured. The almost absolute certainty that the dis aster to the czar's train was the result of criminal conspiracy and not of accio t, as at first supposed, has had much to do with the czarina's increased depression of spirits, and it is believed that a sojourn outside the boundaries of Russia, for @ time, would prove highly beneficial to her.

The Scientific Observers Rewarded with
 Uninterrupted Views.

At the signal office Fro lessor Howe, of Denver, with five assistants, made accurate observations of times Of con- tact, drawings of the corona, and pno1o- graph of coronal light Thomas Davioson discovered two comets near the sum- MT. Marett made accurate observations Of the shadow bands, which have not so lar been satisfactorily explained. The corona was similar in general appearance to that or Io'o. The streamers were three to four diameters of the sun in length, and the red producer ances were strongly marked.
 Professor Pickering, of the Harvard unlver- sity party, telegraphs from Willows that over fifty photographs were secured. The party consisted of four observers from Harvard and twenty-nine local assistants Fourteen telescopes and cameras were employed, and eight spectroscopes, besides miscellaneous ap- paratus The first contact was lost through clouds; the others were seen. Elght views were secured with q thirteen inch telescope. giving images two inches in diameter before enlargement; nine were taken with an elght-mcn camera Twenty-tive negatives were taken to measure the brightness of the corona, five to search for intramercurial planets, and twenty to study the spectrum of the corona to determine it's composition. The general illumination during totality was found lighter than during the eclipses of 1878 and 1886. The corona was similar to those ol 1868 and 1878, but showed much more detail than the latter. It was an exceptionally fine corona, extending usually on one side to two solar diameters A striking characteristle was two forked wings of light. The polal roys were well defined and considerably
