THE odd vote played as important part
in determining the fate of Tilden's will as it
did in regard to his political ambition. 1t
was first sustained in the lower court by one
judge. In the general term of the Supreme
Court it was decided against by two judges
to one: and in the Court of Appeals by four
judges to three. Eleven judges having
passed on the will, six decided against it
and five for it. Thus in the Electoral Col
lege, before the Electoral Commission and
before the New York courts in a whole and
in parts the odd vote has always been cast
against MI. Tilden.

SOLAR SPOTS
A Mysterious Phenomenon on the Surface
of the Sun.

A Mysterious Phenomenon on the Surface
of the Sun.
New York Herald.]
The curious and suggestive phenomenon
of the fall of a solar protuberance into II sun
spot has been recently reported by NJ Trou-
velot, the French astronomer. He was en-
abled to observe this fall very distinctly.
The sun spot in which the protuberance was
lost was very quiet, giving not the slightest
evidence Of any volcanic eruptions going on.
There are1n or near a sun spot usually jets
of fincandescent matter, frequently thrown
up to great heights, but this voracious spot
which swallowed up the protuberance in
question was in almost entire repose.
NJ. TrOuvelot hints that the most proba ble
explanation of this most mysterious phe-
nomenon is that. the class of spots which are
in u state of repose exercise some kind of
attraction upon certain protuberances.
These solar clouds, sometimes Elementary,
sometimes diffuse, sometimes seen to be
gyratiug like cyclone, are composed main
ly OF hydrogen and helfum. Around the
spot the motion OF filaments is usually in
ward toward a central spot and then down.
ward. 1t might, therefore, be supposed that
the prominence seen by NJ. Trouvelot ap-
preached the spot by aspiration.

PROTECT THE FRONTIER.
The Fortifcations Should be Strengthened
at Various Points.

New York RecOrder.l
1t is semi-officially iutimated from Wash
ington that the question OF our relations
with Canada will be very empha tically dis
cussed in the Presidents message. The
British Government is strengthe ening its
Notifications in the regions of the Lakes and
it is only natural that we should not be in
different to it's movements in this direction.
The present modus vivendi between our
selves and England is based on the treaty of
1917, by the terms of which the naval force
that either country may maintain on the
Lakes is limited. The arrangement was
favorable to us when it was made, but the
construction of the Canadian canals has
completely reversed the conditions of three
quarters of n century ago so that all the ad-
vantages are now OH the side of Great
Britain
In the event of the disturbance of friendly
relations between the two countries England
could put an immense fleet of light draught
vessels of war and torpedo boats into the
Lakes at. almost a moments notice. In
view of her military activity on the border
this is not very comfortable position to be
in, and the sooner it is changed the better.
The ideas of the President and Mr. Blaine
on the question have not been made known
One of two courses is open: fiji st, new
treaty, and, second, the strengthening of our
fortifications at various points. This we are
now doing small scale. There is, of course,
no immediate danger, but we should be pre-
pared for whatever may arise.

vICUNA NOT IN IT.
He Is Not Entitled to Recognition as Presi-
dent of Chile.


dent of Chile.
Washington Post]
Senior Don Claudio Vicuna, who was elected
President of Chile while the late war was
going on, is now an exile from his country,
and will shortly leave New York for Europe,
to remain until the present strain of affairs
is relaxed or perhaps permanently. He is
in no wise entitled to recognition as Presi-
dent of Chile, and probably entertains no
such idea himself, although the suggestion
has been made that in certain contingencies
he might be SO recognized by the U nited
States. No such contingency is possible.
The United States has recognized the exist
ing provisional government. 1t recognizes
the legality of the machinery by which the
people of Chile have just chosen an electoral
college for the choice of a President.
Even in the event of war, there would be
no occasion to go back of this action. The
present difficulty is with the present Gov
ernment. 1t has to be settled with the junta
OF its successor. Senior Vicuna is not in it.
The Balmaceda regime is not in it. 1t is the
obstreperous and impractlcable organiza-
tion which has risen upon the ruins of that
regime with which our administration has
to do, and with which it will doubtless deal
in a manner salutary to the Chileans and
satisfactory to the American people.

AN OLD STORY.

1t is well to keep the history of the
epoch-making sixties fresh in the public
mind; but sometimes that benefit can be
marred by what is emphatically character
lied in Shakespearean phrase as ''damn-
able iteration 1t is rather more anus
ing than eXasperating to find in the New
York San letter from T. E. Chadwick,
Commander United Stated Navy, assert
ing that sit is not generally known how
strong is the claim of Russia upon our
gratitude. After which Commander
Chadwick repeats the oft-told story of the
orders to the Admiral of the Russian fleet
at New York, in case the Confederacy was
recognized by France and England, to
place his fleet at the service of the United
States Government.
1t has long been known that this story
was authentic; and it certainly gives the
people of the United States good reason to
regard with kindness the memory of Alex
ander Ia monarch who, especially in
his early career, was as progressive and
humane as his successor is reactiOnary and
prejudited But it is not necessary to con-
clude that even Alexander IL was inspired
solely by an altruistic admiration for
the republic of the New World At that
time the memory of the humiliation of
Russia by France and England in the
Crimea was fresh in the Russian mind,
and the opportunity to revenge that
humiliation was probably as important to
Russia as the preservation of the United
States from dismemberment.
The United States should certainly re-
member the friendliness of Russia nearly
thirty years ago.. But gratitude to past
ruler can hardly be invoked to prevent our
recognition of the fearful disagreement
which is now turning Russia back into the
principles and practices of the Middle
Ages

PRISON REFORMATION.
Some of the Things That Are Needed In
Modern PenitentiarieS.

L
Springfield Republican,
The punitive system Of half century ago
has been generally discarded-w1th such
penalties as death for stealing, and the par
barities of the dungeon, the lash and other
forms of tOrture-not because OF It's lnnu-
manity alone, nor from a sentimental desire
to make the convict's lot an easy one. put
from n conviction that the true END OF All
punishment should be the reform or the
prisoner. 1t has been and is now the study
of penolOgists how to SO comDlne
punishment ana kindness, severity ana
education as to accomplish this result. The
prisoner no matter how degraded, is man,
and if the State takes him into its Keeping
for its own protection for term, 1t Is US
duty to release him more OF man than
when it took him in charge.
1t is not surprising that in the application
of this idea the very natural reaction from
the older seventies should lead to excess IN
the other direction. In time, these eXcesses
will be reformed, and something like the
happy medium reached, for the ideal
method of treating prisoners is very gen.
orally agreed upon-that is, within broad
limits. 1t includes the careful classlfcat1on
of the prisoners, separating the old from the
young, the inexperienced from the hardened
criminals. The prisons should be clean ana
barely within the limits of comfort, the
food plain, nourishing and just sufficient TO
sustain the strength and hard labor should
be enforced upon all. Rewards for good
conduct, and encouraging and elevating IN
fuences all have their place in the plan, the
purpose of which is to make a life Of honest
labor attractive to the erstwhile criminal.

A SOLID stone roadway has been un-
earthed in Illinois, and is credited to the
Aztecs before they were driven out of that
region by the Indian tribes. This looks as if
the Aztecs were ahead of the present popu-
lation in the United States in the matter of
roadways: but when we learn that the road
way was made of cobblestones, We perceive
that they were only up to the progress of
Pittsburg in its early stages of develop
ment

Great Britain must have some remarkable
gunners in her navy. A couple of days ago
while target practice was in progress, fish
ing vessels were struck and sunk, several
lives of fishermen lost and the deadly
nature of the artillery fully manifested
The accuracy of the aim, how eyer, is to be
inferred from the fact that the, ,shing YES

the target.

CARTER HARRISON IN A NEW ROLE.

He Purchases and Assumes Control Of tho
Chicago Times Newspaper.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Hon. Carter H. Harrison,
who served two terms in Congress from IL
linois and who was four times chosen Mayors
of the city of Chicago has purchased and TO-
day assumed control of the Chicago Times.
The price is not made public, but it is un-
nerstood that the sum is well up in the six
figures.
Ever since the death in 1885 of the late
Wilbur F. Storey, the founder of the news
paper, it has been more or less involved in
legal complications, which this transfer
promises to put an end to. Mr.. Harrison
says that, finding the intermittent activities
of an occasional political campaign insult
tween times he has bought the Times to
to give himself active occupation. He an
nounces that the paper will be Democratic
in all things.

Doings of Yesterday.
The managers of the Oakland Hospital
for Children and number of ladies from
the Church of the Ascension met at Miss

discussed at this meeting. The list of
patron patfone@sses, @ and auxiliary honorary m f com ON
afternoon at the church, composed of
prominent people of the city and Allegheny.
There might be one point made regarding
the coming pageant. Uusually benefits
mean an expensive, poor entertainment,
when people give their money TO expect
nothing in return. Those who have seen
the pageant declare that it is most delight
full and entertaining. well as novel. The
managers of the benefit are to be congratu
lated on their keen business instinct in OBJ
tanning something that every one must
desire to see.
THE friends of the French Mission will be
pleased to know that it reopens for the
winter on next Sunday afternoon. Last
year the mission interested so many in the
Pittsburg French colony, as well as in Polish
circles, where the French tongue prevails,
that there has been a universally expressed
desire for its continuance. Its force will be
strengthened this year by the promise OF its
Secretary, Prof. Henri Rollin Parker, to
offfciate at every other meeting. Rev. Mr.,
Launitz will preach next Sunday. Mr. Carl
Retter presides at the organ, and volun-
tary choir will lead the singing. AS with
last year, these will take place at the chapel
of the First Presbyterian Church at O'Clock
