PhOtOgraphing Stars.

A combined effort is now being made
to secure a representation OF the en-.
tire surface of the heavens by photo
graphy, says Sir Robert Hall in Mac
HpilJon's. A congress met in Paris,
under the presidency of Admiral
Mouchez, consisting of astronomers
from all parts of the world, and the
conditions under which this stupendous
survey of the universe was to be under
taken were then decided on. The
operations are divided among num-
Der of observators situated over the
world, and each of them undertakes to
photograph on plates of a uniform size
a certain region of the heavens.
The work has been entered upon
with the heartiest enthusiasm, and ere
many years have elapsed we may an
ticipate being in possession of what
will practically be photograph of
the entire heavens. This great piece
of work will provide us with the means
of making reasonably complete in
ventorv of the entire contents of that
small portion of the universe which
lies within the reach of our instru-
ments. That all the stars which can
be exhibited on long exposed plates
shall ever be completely catalOgued is
a task as much beyond our power to
obtain as it would be to obtain a de-
scriptive list of the several pebbles on
a sea beach or of the several leaves in
an ample forest.
The more modest scheme has, how
ever been suggested of taking the two
million brightest stars and forming q
complete catalogue of them, in which
their brightness and their absolute
positions in the heavens shall be given
with all attainable precision. Even
this is sufficiently magnificent under
taking, but is within the limits of scien-
tific enterprise, and it ought to be done
it must be done. Not alone is it our
manifest duty to obtain a comprehen-
sive survey of that universe around us,
but there arc many other special as
Economical problems that will be large
ly forwarded by its accomplishment.
There are some problems indeed which
must remain unsolved so long as this
task remains.
To mention only q single one of the
questions for which the survey is i'm
peratively demanded, l may refer to
the interstellar motion of our solar sys-
tenn. 1t is we'll known that our sun,
accompanied by the whole system of
planets, is at present bound on voy-
age through space. Astronomy pre-
sents no grander problem than the dis
covery of the circumstances of this
voyage. Whence has our system come,
whittier is it bound, and with what
speed? We can never learn such par
ticulars as these without the informa-
ton that the great survey would give
us.

He Must Stand Second Prosecution,
 While Others Go Unmolested.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 2-Ex-Alderman Arthur J. McQuade will appear this morning at the bar of the special court of oyer and terminer to answer anew the charge of his alleged be- trayal of the interests of the city while he sat in the notorious board of 1881.
 The news that he had been the one selected by District Attorney Fellows came upon McQuade with an awful suddenness It is only very short time since he was released by decision of the court of appeals from an imprisonment that had lasted twenty months, and he had just succeeded in again getting his business into shape
 Six of his fellows indicted equally with him. self had never been visited with any greater punishment than the inconvenience of ob- taining bail for themselves, and he had ex- pected that some one of them would have been asked to come to the bar He was taken completely unawares, and his counsel will go to court with actually no preparation what ever other than the experience which they gained in the former trial.

ing the day. and no arrests were made. h. spector Mclaughlin determined to do without the mounted squad after the early morning hours and they were sent back to the station houses, and the cars were manned by half dozen policemen armed with night sticks. The police details were stationed along the Fifth Avenue line and found their hardest work in trying to keep warm. Very few strikers were seen on the streets, the largest crowd being at the Twenty-third street stables, near their headquarters.
 The men still maintain an unbroken front, and claim that they will not give in. An in dignation meeting was held at the head quarters of the strikers, at Moore's hall, at which Philip zeh, A. c. Coyne, w. J. Billings and other property owners addressed the meeting, condemning the position taken by Deacon Richardson. Resolutions of like nature were adopted, and a committee ap- pointed to present protest to Mayor Chapin for the failure of the company to run its cars.
 A number of property owners have con- suited Lawyer W. J. Gayner regarding the advisabisabiity of securing an order from the court compelling the company to run cars on schedule time

 OTTAWA, Feb. 2.-ln the house of com. mons, debating the address, MT. Laurier, Liberal, leader of the opposition, advised the government not to be too nasty in the fishery matter, as the Harrison administration would shortly take office. MT. Lau,ier advocated enforcing our rights with as gentle a hand as possible, and would approach the whole sub ject in a friendly spirit.
 Sir John Macdonald, leader of the govern ment said it would not be advisable to discuss the question just now. He was glad that the new administration would not have hostile senate. Combating Lauriers policy for un- restricted reciprocity with the United States, the premier said the price asked for surren- dering our proud position as a member of the greatest empire in the world to become sub servient outskirt to the American republic was too great, and commercial union must, in view of Senator Sherlnan's declaration for political union, be dropped i'll silence.

 JAcKsoNvILLE, Fla, Feb. 2.-Hon. Frank W. Pope, who was the Independent Repub- hcan candidate for governor in 1881, is being threatened with lynching at Madison where he recently went for the purpose of procur- ing evidence to sustain the contest of F. $. Goodrich Rep.) for the congressional seat for the district. Rumors renecting on Mir. Pope's methods spread, and certain hot headed individuals took advantage of the popular excitement to instigate a movement against him. The authorities determined that Mir. Pope should be protected at all hazards Governor Fleming teegraphed to the same effect. Sheriff Parramore collected a posse and surrounded the house where MT. Pope was staying at the time selected for the attack The would-be lynchers appeared, but were disnayed at the preparations made to receive them, and dispersed. It is feared that they will renew their operations, and the sheriff and posse are keeping careful watch over MT. Pope. MT. Pope is native of Madison, but has become very unpopular of late years on account of his political record. He is plucky and telegraphs his friends that he has no fear

PLANS GANG AFT AGLEE.
AllIson's Destination Upsets the Cabinet Arrangement-Gen. Harrison Greatly Put Outline Latest Gossip.

Allison's Destination Upsets the Cabinet
 Out-The Latest Gossip.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Senator Allison will not be a member of Gen. Harrison's cabinet. His final and unalterable decision was reached after a careful consideration of the whole field and was forwarded to the president-elect at Indianapolis. There is no doubt about this.
 The position taken by the Iowa senator was ill accordance with his own private and polit- ical wishes In a measure he was compelled to take the stand he did, because had he not done so, he would have caused some of his warmeSt supporters in the senate and ill his own state to grow cold toward him.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 2.-It looks as though Gen. Harrison'S cabinet had been smashed even before it was completed. Allison has refused to go into it, and Allison was to that cabinet like a stone to an arch The whole combination had been built to fit the senator from Iowa, and his declnation changes all the circumstances that have controlled the choice of the other men, so far as they have been chosen, and there is every reason to sup pose that practically the whole cabinet had been selected, and Gen. Harrison really thought that his worry over it was ended.
 In this connection a very prominent gentle man who was here last week left behind him a piece of confidential information that may now prove an important indication. He said: ''I am reliably told that Vice President-elect Morton some days after his return from In- | dianapolis told his intimate friends that if l Allison declined the treasury it would be | offered to ex-Senator Tom Platt" Another | gentleman, ill discussing this phase of the dilemma, predicted that the treasury would be offered to Mckinley, of Ohio.
 It has been pretty well authenticated here that when Mr. Morton left Indianapolis he carried with him an offer of the naval port folio for MT. Platt, and that gentleman de clined it, being unwilling to accept anything short of the treasury. It is thought that Mir | Platt's appointment to the treasury would | freeze Mr. Wanamaker out of the cabinet | and send the postmaster generalship to Clark son, of Iowa.
 DETROIT, Feb. 2.-The News, whose editol is personal friend of Gen. Alger, and de | rives his information from the general, haC the following in its editorial columns yester day: "The Evening News has information other than the rumors which have been float ing about the papers for a week past, ant upon which it can rely with absolute conf dence, that Mir. Harrison has rendered MT Blaine the secretaryship of state, and tha MT. Blaine has, after some correspondence re garding the policy of the coming administra tion, accepted.
 ''The fact is thus removed from the regiol
 of rumor to that of certainty. MT. Blaine an Gen. Alger are close friends, and the pros
 pective secretary of state has given this ir
 formation to the general"
