Thesreferee rubbed his chin medi-

"Honestl Well, boss, this yere

And the man seemed surprised that
this strong testimony did not secure
him employment.

The light disappeared so rapidly
that hundreds of people made all pre-

preaching war of the elements, and
many relied upon the story which
their instruments told, found plenty

Suggestions Concerning the SUMS

Suggestions Concerning the SUMS
Eclipse in 1893.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-In his annual
report to the Secretary of the Navy, Com
mcdore Dewey, Chief of the Bureau
Equipment, summarizes the work of his
bureau during the year as follows: Dur
ing the past fiscal year fifty-three vessels
have been either wholly or partly equip
ped under this bureau, at the expendi-
ture of labor and material of 1854 ,233.
Commodore Dewey incloses the reports
of the Superintendent of the Naval OBJ
servatory and the Nautical Almanac of
fce and the Naval Inspector of Electric
Lighting. The Superintendent of the
observatory says: april 15, 1893, total
solar eclipse occurs under circumstances
SO favorable that its observation is ex-
tremely desirable. The central line of
the shadow sweeps across South Amer
lea, the Atlantic Ocean and the northern
part of 4 frica, and the duration of totality
is f. 42" near Cerea, Brazil ,and 4, 10" near
Bathurst, Senegambia. Many of the
most important questions relating to the
constitution of the sun can be studied
only during total eclipses, and as the
whole time available for that purpose is
only about three hours in a century, the
necessity for utilizing every available
eclipse is evident, il we are ever to COM
prehend that wonder on which the very
existence of the human race depends"
he hopes means may be provided for
sending at least one party to Cerea and if
possible another to Bathurst

NEwFoUNDLAND BAIT ACT.

Great Satisfaction Over the Fact That
1t is Unconstitutional.
OTTAWA, Nov. 26.-Great satisfaction is
expressed here over the fact just made
public that the law officers of the I'm
perial Government have decided that the
Newfoundland Bait Act is unconstitu-
tional, and have suggested that joint
test case between Canada and Newfound-
land be submitted to the Imperial Privy
Council.
That Act, the working of which has
been found so obnoxious by Canada, was
passed by the Newfoundland Govern
ment in 1889, and prohibits the sale of
fresh fish of all sorts to foreign fisher
men. AS this prohibition excited fear,
and was opposed by the Canadian Gov
ernment, it was allowed by the Imperial
Government to go into operation only on
the express and distinct understanding
that it should not be allowed to affect
Canadian trade interests.
In the wiuter season there is an i'm
mense trade in frozen herring. which, al
though they are available as bait, were
formerly carried to the United States and
other places by Canadian vessels. Last
year, under the proposed reciprocity
treaty between Newfoundland and the
United States the sole privilege Of buying
bait was given to United States fisher
men, to the exclusion of French and
Canadian fishermen.
Canada strenuously objected. on the
ground that this was discrimination
against Canadians in favor of American
fishermen. Now, the Imperial Govern
ment has informed the Newfoundland
Government that the latter's position is
distinctively unconstitutional.

Trouble Likely to Ensue Unless There
is a Change in Affairs.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 26.-The steamer
Mariposa arrived in port to-day from
Australia, via Honolulu. III. c. Ide,
formerly United States Land Commits
sioner at Samoa, was passenger on the
steamer. In conversation with the gem
tjeman it was learned that while affairs
at Samoa are quiet at the present time,
there is likely to be difficulty there be-
fore great while unless there is n de-
cided change. 1t seems that Mataafa is
jealous of Malietoa as King, and he is
creating feeling among his own follow
ers that does not warrant peace. The
principal point said to be the cause of the
dissensions is due to the heavy taxation
on the people, for which Chief Justice
CedercrantZ is said to be partly RESPONSE
BILE. In spite of the difficulty OF getting
the natives to realize the blessings of
civilization, especially when they come
in the form of taxation, he imposed q
capitatlon tax on the population, and GER
tain other taxes, which realized alto
gether about 81, 600. This point has been
used by Mataata, and he has succeeded
very we'll SO far in causing dissensiOns,
in view of the fact that the Chief Justice
is on friendly terms with Malietoa.
Mr.. Ide would not say that war was
likely to be declared between the follow
ers OF Malietoa and Mataafa, but from
what he was able to learn the outlook
was anything but promising.

RAILROAD MATTERS.

the Santa Fe Abandons the Attempt
to Enter Denver.
DENVER, Nov. 26.-The Santa Fe road
will sell all its property and tear up the
tracks of the circle railroad over which it
was hoped that they would enter the city.
After two years of fighting, in which they
expended vast sum of money, calculated
by some to amount to 81 ,0O0, 900, and W hen
they have failed by process of courts, they
have decided to abandon the plan. This
decision was arrived at when Land Com
whatsoever Frost and General Manager
Robinson were here last week, and prop
erty TO the value of 100000 will be dis
posed of as soon as possible. The Santa
Fe had bitter fight. The corporation
offered to build Sl,000,000 depot, inn
prove the banks of Cherry Creek, along
the south wall of which it runs, and
otherwise appreciate the adjacent prop
erty. But the people would not listen.
The Santa Fe evidently is thinking of
building line through the mountains to
Salt Lake, for they had surveying partv
in the field for some time in the vicinity
of Golden and in Clear Greek Canyon, en-
deavoring to find a line. What Denver
may suffer by the action of the West
Siders is not known, as the road most
likely would run by the town, only enter
ing 1t on the tracks of the Fort Worth
Railroad, over which it has a ninety
nine-year contract.
1t is said that the road will give its at
tention to Pueblo and push through to
Salt Lake and on the coast from Grand
junction, Col. The air is full of railroad
rumors in consequence of the action of
the railroad company. By some it is
thought it is a big bluff game, but it is
announced as fact that the Santa Fe
Will relinquish all claims. The affair
created a sensation in railroad circles.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
WASHINGTON, Nov 26.-The various
Speakership candidates have been hold
ing conferences with their friends during
the day, and all that either they or their
friends have to say is calculated to indi-
cate great confidence in the result The
Mills folks are in pleasant mood over
Carlisle's letter vouching for Mills mod
Grafton of temperament, while the other
candidates are not disposed to attach
much importance to it, at least
as to influence upon their own
strength. Very few members have
as yet reached the city, and those who are
here are chiefly those who are earnest ad-
vocates of one or the other of the candi-
dates. The doubtful men are not in any
hurry to appear on the scene, and until
some of them come there cannot be any
material change in the situation.
Mr.. Mcmillan said to-day that there
was absolutely no foundation to the state
| ment that he intended to withdraw He
said that he might get whipped, but that
he would never run away, and that there
was certainly nothing in the situation to
make him approach the. fight timidly
His friends speak with confidence.
Each Of the candidates received many
callers during the day, the supporters of
one candidate calling on his rivals, and
there is an evident purpose to make the
contest as amiable as possible.
Candidates for the minor offices are
thick. Two or three of them are to be
found in about every hotel lobby or in
| the various headquarters of the Speaker
| ship candidates. The candidates for the
position of Sergeant-at-Arms have been
slow in declaring themselves. For a
long while Ex-Representative Yoder of
Ohio was the only candidate in the field.
Now. two or three others have appeared.
and the indications are that there will be
a more active fight than was expected.
Ex-Representative Murphy of Ohio, who
is known to about every man who has
been in or about Congress for the past
ten years, has declared his candidacy for
the place.
The most interesting fight for minor
offices is that for the Clerkship, for which
there are q large number of candidates.
and up to date no one seems to be pre-
pared to make an estimate of their COM
parative strength. The time for hold
ing the caucus has not been
fixed. IT may be held on Satur-
day, or it may be thought desirable
to hold it earlier. A report has been,
Bland will, before the nominations are
made for Speaker, introduce a resolution,
and demand vote on it, making a
declaration of principles on the silver
question. There have been some efforts
made to drag in the question OF Presi-
dental preferences, but il is asserted that
no man who has ambition to be President
wants his strength to be tested in this un-
certain manner.

Just rendered an opinion approving

report of the Bondholders' Committee, as
follows: The State of Virginia, in settle
ment of S2S,0O0,O0O of such Indebtedness,
shall deliver its bonds for Sl9, 200, 900, or
In that proportion, for the amount of in
debtedness which shall be surrendered
The bonds shall be payable in 100 years,
and will draw interest from July /, 1891,
at per cent. for the first ten years, and
after that date at 3 per cent. for the re-
naming ninety years. The Advisory
Board says it is decided in its Judgment
that If the terms of the settlement now
presented are rejected, the prospect of an
advantageous agreement in the future is

RATHER CURIOUS STORY.
An EmiSsary of the Vatican in {
House of Lord Salisbury.

An Emissary of the Vatican in the
House of Lord Salisbury.
LONDON, Nov. 26.-A curious story was
made public which appears to show that
the Vatican had Ian emissary in the
very household of the Prime Minister,
Lord Salisbury, he of course being ignor-
ant of the fact. The story comes from a
lady who recently visited at the Hatfield
House. She was struck by the face of a
man employed as major domo, and
after racking her brain sometime re-
membered that she had seen him before
at the Vatican in the garb of an Italian
priest. He had shown her points of in
terest in the Vatican, and she is sure he
is Identical with Salisbury's servant. He
noticed her scrutiny of him and decamped
from Hatfield House before she had a
chance to tell the Premier. The latter
appeared much put out, but said little.
The members of his family came to the
conclusion that the man was a Jesuit
agent, who had gotten into the house for
the purpose of discovering secret matters
concerning the Vatican
