Galveston's action is proof of his
good judgment in appointing influen-

inaugurated governor has been made
with special reference to Hogg and a
second term. From present indica-
tions it is only too probable that his
efforts will be crowned with success.

of New York on the ground that
he could not hold q seat In the
House and still retain his position on
the retired list of the regular army. Gen. Cat
lin based his decision on an opinion said TO
have been given by Attorney General Miller
that he was not eligible for Con-
gress because of his position on
the retired list. This opinion is
contrary to a decision of the New York court
of appeals, on which Gen. Daniel Sickles bases
his determination not to withdraw from the
race for Congress in spite of the conten-
ton that he is not eligible by
reason of his rank as a retired
officer Of the army. Mr.. Henry H. Smith,
compiler and editor Of the Digest and Manual
Of the House of Representatives. :" whose long ex-
perience as journal clerk of the House of Repre-
sentatives has given him familiarity with matters
affecting Congress, saws: The point made by
Gen. Catlin is not well taken, as the question Of
the eligibility of army officers serving in Con-
gress has been settled, the House
being the judge of the qualifications
OF its own members. This very
question, he said. ''arose during the war in

THE ECLIPSE TODAY.
Many People Look Through Smoked Glass
1t the Sun This Afternoon


1t the Sum This Afternoon.
At 1905 o'clock pm. today the earth, in the
course Of Its flight through space, brought
itself In a direct line with the moon and the
sun, causing the moon to interpose between a
portion Of the sun and this terrestrial ball,
thereby creating partial eclipse Of the sun.
The eclipse was vi sible at all points on the
North American continent except the extreme
western projections. It was also visible from
the West India Islands, from that portion of
South America lying Immediately north of the
equator and from the Azores Islands, but not
from Europe or Africa.
The eclipse lasted three hours and thirty Sec
onds and covered almost three-fifths of the
suns surface. 1t was the center of interest to
every one on the streets during the afternoon
and could be plainly seen with the aid Of q
small piece Of smoked glass.
The phenomenon was not Of any particular
astronomical importance, but was watched at
all observatories.
Prof. Eastman. at the new naval obi Arvatory
in this city, observed the eclipse with the aid
OF one of the small instruments.
Prof. Eastman made a very satisfactory OBJ
servstion, the atmosphere being in a very good
condition. The shadow was observed to cross the
be called westerly movement. The principal
object Of the observation was to note the time
OF the first and last contact of the shadow.
AROUND TOWN.
There was no question but that the event at
tracted attention. Even people who, for one
reason or another, are unconscious that there is
such a thing as a heaven, or in fact anything
else except the earth, which IL Is their absorb
ing desire to possess much of as possible,
realized that something or other was happen
ing way up in the skies. When they

on their way and allowed others to
make astronomical observations with
smoked glass; There were quite a
large number Of observers and no doubt there
would have been moreif the bootblacks and the
street gamins had been generally notified that
partial eclipse would take place today.
However, there were some boys who man
aged to get a supply of smoked glass, and they
either leased or sold them outright. AL over
the city people were observing the spectacle,
and from the windows of business buildings
there could be seen groups watching the progress
of the eclipse. As the moon nibbled away on
the edge of the sun and increased the size Of
the crescent the effect WAS seen on the atmos-
phere, which became dull and hazy.
This change lead good many people to in
quire as to the cause and then they found out
that an eclipse was going on. Altogether the
movements Of the two bodies we're witnessed
by large and interested audience in this city,
and Of course the show gave general satisfac-
ton. The next performance will be duly an
nounced.

the registration In this city was only S2.625.

Of the increase of population it should have
been 10 GO more.
This fall Of was ascribed by the democratic
managers TO the great Columbian parade
which occurred on that day. but the republican
managers s=criDed n Co democratic apathy and
used It ~ an encouragement to repub-
hcan- IN the rural districts. Con
sequently yesterdays registration was watched
sRXiously. The managers IN all the
headquarters waited until after midnight to
get the returns. The republican district lead
err mad been told TO go light on registrs-
ton IN order 90 keep the total down as much
possible, the argument being that two sue
cessive DAYS Of light registration IN the dem
ocratic stronghold would have a moral effect,
which would discourage the democrats every
where
On the other hand the democratic district
leaders had been ordered TO DO everything to
get q large registration In some Of the dis
trictz prizes were offered for the captain who
should get gu: the largest registration.
The result in both New York and Brooklyn
has surprised both sides and intensely gratiied
