OTTAWA, Ont, August 2.-The Citizen.
the government organ, today says editorial
ly: 'If the present government at Washing
ton fails to bring about serious complications
between the imperial government and the
United States 1t will not be because no effort
was put forth to produce so undesirable re-
suit. Statesmen of the ealibre Of Webster
and Clay do not now reach maturity on the
Southern portion Of this continent. Ped
ding politicians, seekers after not0riety and
professors Of brag and duphcity, appear to
have monopolized all the places Of import
ance and to be now intent upon forcing is
sues with a country whose people Is rapidly
learning to despise, not to fear them. The
recent shameful act Of piracy committed up
on a Canadian vessel on Behring Sea Is abso-
lutely unjustifable. and has only one redeem
log feature. 1t will bring the whole ques-
ton under consideration, and the Washing
ton authorities will be obliged to apologize
as well as to recoup the owners Of the yes
sells interfered with. II this Is not done
what is left OF Yankee naval effects will
probably disappear from more seas than

and that have been very much Dragged about

given them by their owners. One hundred
bushels Of oats will be divided among the
winning horses. that will probably trot 10

TWO EXPEDITIONS
VIII Note the Next Total Eclipse Of

LONDON, August 2.-Extensive prepara-

total eclipse of the sun next December.
W. 81. Wesley, assistant secretary to the
society, said yesterday; "We intend to send
out two expeditions to observe the eclipse,
one to South America and the other to West
Africa. The particular work which these
two parties will have in view will be to take
photographs of the corona with a view of
noting whatever changes took place in it
during the time CT the eclipse. Our chief
object in sending out two expeditions is to
secure this much-desired end. Ii the
weather permits observations to be taken
at the two extreme land ends of the line
of totality, it is believed between these
points the corona will show some change.
In the observations heretofore no change
has been discovered at any one point of OBJ
servation while the eclipse lasted.''
