How Science Is Opening Up the Mysteries of
Craati.r


Creation.
New YORK, Aug. 29.-Ih a dispatch to
the Herald, Camille F. Flammarion, the
French astronomer, says: Three great tel
escopes have recently successfully been con-
structed, the like Of which would have
seemed a fantastic dream to our predeces-
sors. All three of them were constructed
in 1856. The one at the observatory at Nice
has free opening Of seventy-four CEN
timeters and q length of eighteen meters.
The second at the observatory at Pultowa,
Russia, has the same diameter, but some
what smaller opening. The third, at the
observatory of Mount Hamilton, Cal, has
for its objective lens with an opening OF
ninety-seven centimeters and focal distance
and length of fifteen meters.
These magnificent instruments have
proved that it suffiees to be bold in order to
succeed, and have demonstrated that we
should not be satisfied with them, that it Is
possible to 60 even further. Is it not the
natural ambition If an astronomer 10 pene-
tTate further and further into the depths of
the Infinite, and above all else 10 determine
the nature Of other wOrlds-to lift up cor
ner of the veil that hides from us the i'm
mense mysteries of creation? Now lens
OF forty inches, or one meter IN diameter, Is
desired and is being constructed.
This objective is composed of two lenses,
one Of flint, the othe: OF crown glass, juxta-
posed, mutually completing each other by
their optic properties, and producing as
perfect chrOmatism as is possible This
objective lens is being made for the Uni
yerSity of Southern California and for the
observatory on Mount Wilson, not far from
Los Angeles, where Pickering has recently
obtained some excellent photographs CT the
moon, Saturn and Mars,

n PrettiIy Contested Came.
SACRAMENTO, Aug 29.-The home team
sustained another disastrous defeat to-day, the
score being u to s, San Franchises this time
doing the trouncing. The game was replete
with brilliant plays, hard hitting, and the first
five innings kept the small crowd in attendance
interested.
After the fifth the Senators were never in
it and did not score again, while their oppo-
nentS added eight runs to their score.
Lookabaugh was somewhat wild, but
pitched winning ball nevertheless, keeping the
hits off him well scattered and striking out
seven men. His support, barring Levy, was
perfect. Rube's two errors were ground balls
and in each instance he allowed the runner to
score.
Hoffman pitched good ball, but his support
was very yellow. Godar at third could not
catch anything and played worse than school
boy.
DAILY, Reitz and Goodenough's errors were
hard chances and were excusable. A left
handed stop and throw by the former was the
feature OF the game
Bowman tried his hand in right field and let
in five runs on his errors. McHale caught q
poor game and threw poorly to bases.
In the first inning Goodenough hit for a
home run to left field, and in the eighth
Ebright after hitting an easy foul fly to Godar
who mufed. bit to left center for four bases.
D0nahue'S decisions did not begin to suit the
audience, as in four or five instances he de-
cided against the home team.
In the third inning for the visitors the bases
were full when Stevens hit to Hoffman who
threw the runner out at the plate, and Nc
Hale fielded the ball to firSs in time to make
brilliant double play.
In the slNt,, NcHale reached first on single
Hoffman hit to EyeIe.e s.an threw Mac out at

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The resolution
which was introduced to-day by Senator
Edmunds providing for recess Of Con-
gress from September 18th to November
10th is the subject of wide comment. To an
Associated Press reporter Edmunds said he
offered the resolution ON his own motion
and responsibility. 1t seemed to him due
to the public interest. in view of the large
docket of important measures reported
from the committees and pending before
the Senate, that all the available time be-
tween now and the 4th Of March next
should be utilized in discussing and dispos-
ing Of them. The suggestion that the Pres
ident call an extra session of Congress he
did not approve. 1t would imply censure
and reproach upon Congress for its failure
to transact the business before it. Con-
gress has power to take such a recess and
proceed with business without the inter-
vention Of the Executive.
Another Senator who was asked how the
resolution was received by Republicans
said he did not believe any one was in favor
of it. The general sentiment expressed at
the conference last week was. he said. that
if any time was needed beyond the limits
OF shor. session the President should
issue his proclamation convenlng Congress
in extra session.
Senator Pierce said he was satisfied the
President would not call an extra session Of
Congress, whatever might be done. Such
resolution could have for its ultimate object
only one thing. the passage OF the Election
Bill. The Democrats would see that, and
they could and would talk the resolution to
death to prevent action on the bill. Con-
gress is empowered. under certain condl.
tions, to do just what Senator Edmunds'
resolution proposes.
Senator Edmunds says he will not call up
his resolution for several days, the time de-
pending upon the progress made with the

TARIFF DUTIES.
Reported Agreement Between France and the
United States.


PARIS, Aug. 29.-Le Paris says that nego-
tiations between France and the United
States relative to the American tariff are ap-
preaching a favorable conclusion. The
Washington Government will remove the
duty on French art and France will remove
the prohibition against American pork.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The paragraph
in LIE Paris, to the effect that the Govern
ment of the United States would remove
1he duty on works of French art and the
Aescli Government would remove the pro-
hibiton against American pork as a result
of negotiations, was shown to the members
of the Senate Finance Committee.
Aldrich said he knew nothing about any
negotiations.
Sherman said. of course. the members of
the Finance Committee knew nothing about
any negotiations the two Governments may
be engaged in. But the two subjects men,
toned in the article from Le Paris, lie said,
have no connection with each other. The
Finance Committee will probably reconi-
mend that the duty be removed from works
of art, not only French but all foreign art
There is difference Of opinion on the sub
jeci which has not yet been settled, but it
will have no relation. he said, to the action
of the French Government against Ameri-
can pork.
Secretary of State Wharton, when shown
the Paragraph in lie Paris, said he was not
aware that any such negotiations as those
indicated were IN progress.

Unparalleled Humanity Of Father to His

PHILADELPHIA, Aug 29.-Dr. Henry NJ.
Wetherill, Secretary of the State Committee
on Lunacy of the Board of Public Charities,
has just returned from visit to the western
part of the State, during which, near Frank
lin, Venanso County, he discovered revolt
ing case of cruel treatment by father of his
crazy son. He found haggard, emaciated,
pale faced man, with a thin beard and long,
unkempt hair, covered by the grimy rem
nant of womans calico skirt, in the house of
a farmer named Young, fastened about his
waist next TO the skin with a thick leather belt
to which was attached strong iron chain
about eight feet long held by a staple driven
into the window casing.
The unfortunate man was George Young, 90
years old. Beneath the window was hard
wooden settee, his only bed. The floor was
worn in a circular groove, about which the
poor fellow daily walked his weary way.
Since his twelfth year he had been so confined.
When years old he was seized with acute
pneumonia and his mind became hopelessly
shattered. The unfortunate man was taken
in charge by the authorities.

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. ga San Jose
de Guatemala dispatch says everything was
prepared this morning to capture the Revolu-
tioniSt General Martin Barundia, who was
on board passing American steamer. The
Port Captain, with several companions, board
ell the steamer and demanded the surrender
of Barundia from Captain Pitts, who
answered that he would deliver up
the revolutionist, and invited them to
Barundia's cabin. The assistant Chief of
Police, Captain Caldron and three officers
were among those who went with the
captain to the cabin When there, Major
Toniello made known to Barundia
that the captain of the vessel had decided
TO deliver him up. Barundia thereupon
opened fire with revolver upon the
party, who returned the fire, and Barundia
fell riddled with bullets.
1t appears that before Sir Spenser st,
John, the British Minister to this republic,
was appointed arbitrator in the matter of
the mixed claims before the Guatemalan-
Mexican Commission, there was quite dis
Gus ion as to whether he or the United States
Minister should be asked 10 act as arbitrator,
but Guatemalan efforts prevailed and secured
the Englishman.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The Times says:
The Ma k Drug Company, dealers in patent
medicines at SO and 50 Reade street, is re-
ported to lave failed, and Julius j. Mack,
the President and proprietor of the concern,
has gone to San Francisco. Mack was a
partner for nine years in the firm
of j. j. Mack 81 Co., wholesale
druggists. San Francisco. He sold out his
interest in that firm in December, 1888, and
came TO New York and Incorporated the
Mack Drug Company with a capital stock
of 100000, of which it was said $50, coo was
issued for cash and $50 900 for patent rights.
Mack owned, it is said. all the capital stock.
The concern made some patent medicine
specialties, which were extensively adyer-
tised throughout the country. 1t was said
yesterday by interested parties that
Mr.. Mack had spent S50,OOO cash

export anything from the United States,
and thus establish reciprocity Of trade, 1t
should have been done.

RECIPROCITY.
do not, of course, intend to declare or to
imply that we could have secured the free adj
mission of S256,000,000 of American products
annually to that amount. A richer country
cannot expect to get complete reciprocity III
amount from countries less wealthy, but what
ever we should have received would have been
clear gain, and in all future repeals Of duties
whatever We may be able to get will be clear
gain. 1t is not question of setting deliberately
to work to establish reciprocal exchanges,
but with all the duties we have thus far re-
pealed it has been question whether we
should get something or get nothing. we
have chosen with our eyes closed to get
nothing. l hope now with Oar eyes open that
we shall In the future choose to get something.
We encounter opposition to this policy from
those who declare that if we enter into
reciprocity of trade with one country we must
do so with ali countries, and thus indirectly
bring about complete free trade. L
do not see the logic of this, and l am sure
We may enter into reciprocity with ma
tlon because We find advantage in it. we
may decline to enter into reciprocity with
another nation because we see no ad-
vantage in it.
WHAT is RECIPRoCITY2
Reciprocity is simply policy circum-
stance to be determined favorably or ad-
make or lose for us. To say because we
enter into reciprocal relations with one
country Oh one thing we must enter into
reciprocal relations with all other countries
on all things is to my mind as absurd as 10
say that If buy horse to-day must nee,
essary buy n drove of asses tomorrow. All
objections of that kind are am sure un.,
founded, and will not stand the test OF
argument or practical trial.
WHERE THE DANGER LIES.
Our people do not realize the great fact
that if specie payment is endangered in this
country it is likely to be endangered by our
present system Of trade with the Latin
American States. The few millions of gold
that have gone out of the country within
the last three months have created uneasi.
ness in certain quarters as to our financial
the loss of those millions from
the banks in Wall street should be
accounted so serious an event when We
have lost much larger amount during the
same period from the condition of our trade
with countries south OF us without exciting
the least observation. When our merchants
and bankers come to thoroughly appro-
pirate this fact we shall receive aid and in
fluence in the reform Of our trade from
quarter which thus far it has been impos-
Sible to enlist"
