Special to THE MORNING CALI

NoRTEFIELD. Mimi, Oct. 3.-The October
number of Astronomy. scientific magazine,
edited by Professor Payne OK Carleton Col
lege, contains several valuable papers on
the recent observations of Mars. The first
is by Professor Holden, who, under date of
August Is, explains the work done by the
big Lick telescope in California, giving his
conclusions as follows:
81 may briefly state my individual con-
clusions. as derived from comparison
Of my own observations of Mars at the op-
position of 1875 and the succeeding ones, TO
be that the changes in the surface features
OF Mars. as we now know them, are prob
ably not capable of being completely ex-
planned by terrestrial analogies.
what are we to make of the lake called
. Fons Juventas, for example. which was a
single object in 1877. which was not visible
in 1879, and which has been both single and
double during the present year? Is it con-
ceivable that au observer on Mars examin-
ing the earth in any part of Its recent his
tory would have seen such amazing topo-
graphic changes as we have this year
observed, not TO speak Of the changes from
opposition TO opposition?
ut appears to me- that careful examina-
tlon OF the long series Of the drawings Of
Mars, which We owe TO Professor Schiapa-
relli and others up to the present time, will
make it evident that there are enormous
difficulties in the way of completely explain
ing the recorded phenomena by terrestrial
analogies. unless we also introduce serious
notifications"
Professor Pickering of Harvard College
writes under date of Areauipa, Peru, Au-
gust /, 1892. lie says: IN seeking to explain
the observations | would merely point out
the fact that changes occurred at time when
the snow was melting with great rapidity.
and that dark channel suddenly appeared
July i, which had not been seen at the last
previous observation of this region. on June
13; that it shortly disappeared again, and a
few days after this event the northern sea
was largely increased in area temporarily,
or at least that its southern shores became
much darker. / think these changes cannot
be explained by Martian cloud effects.
''Ne have already observed large whitish
patches upon the planet which undergo cer-
tain changes in shape and extended from
night to night. We are now studying them
carefully, although we find them ra her
difficult OF observation. These changes
we are inclined TO refer TO clouds. although
the matter is not as simple as it might at first
appear. IL these effects are really due TO
clouds they are quite different in character
from the other changes noted"

The Election for State Officers to BE
Held To-Day.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Oct. 3.-By the gen.
eral election law. passed In 1889, the State
and county elections in Florida were sepa-
rated from the national and Congressional
elections. This is the first year the sepsrs-
ton clause in the new statute is operative.
Tuesday Florida elects Governor, Secre-
tsry OF State. one Justice of the Supreme
Court, an Attorney General. Comptroller,
Treasurer, Superintendent of Public In
struction and Commissioner of Agriculture.
All the counties will. hoose members of
the lower house OF the Legislature, and
eighteen out of thirty-two districts choose
State Senators. All the counties choose
county officers. There are two full State
tickets in the field, those of the Democrats
and those Of the Peoples party. The
former is headed by Henry L. Mitchell for
Governor, the latter by AlonZ0 p. BaskiD.
The Prohibitionists have a candidate for
Governor, n. j. Hawley, but this party is
not likely to poll over 800 votes In the en-
tire State
The Republicans have made no nomina-
tions this year for either national electors,
Congressman, State or county officers. The
reason alleged is the unfairness of the pres
ent election laws. passed by Democratic
Legislature. An agreement is said TO have
been entered into by which Republican
votes will be thrown for the PEOPLES party
candidate, but as general thing the Repub-
licans are not qualified for election by regis
teTiDg and paying poll taxes.

The Latest Sensation in the Political
Arena.
KlTIOKlL BANKS OPPOSE CLEVELAND.
SitsleS Not TO Speak for Harrison - RtTOlt Of
The ARti-Snapptrs-i Third Municipal
Ticket for New York.
Special 10 THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON. Oct 3.-The announce
ment that Judge Gresham is going TO bolt
the Rep bIican ticket I'll is fall and vote for
Cleveland, and the statement that General
Daniel Z. Sickles, the Democratic war
veteran and leader in Tammany Hall,
may take the stump for Harrison. have fur
nshed the most interesting topics of dis
cussion for the politicians to-day. 1t has
been known for a long while that Judge
Gresham did not agree with the Republican
platform oD the tariff, and that since the
G. A. r. encampment General Sickles did
not intend to vote for Cleveland. Whether
the Republicans could get General Sickles
on the stump has been q question Of inter-
est, and it is believed now they will sue
ceed.
The announcement as 70 Gresham has
caused no surprise at the White House nor
among Mr.. 9arrison's Indiana friends gen.
orally. They say Judge Gresham's attitude
Is not due to any personal differences be-
tween him and Mr.. Harrison. as Judge
Gresham is too broad man to be influenced
by such consideration, but that the Judge is
q tariff reformer and cannot agree with the
Minneapolis platform. They do not attach
much importance 10 his action as infuenc
ing other votes.
Mr. Cleveland is still busying himself
with his efforts TO induce the "anti-Suap-
pers" TO abandon their third ticket scheme,
but without avail. Those who have made
Up their minds for the third ticket can not
be dictated to. and say positively that they
propose to have their own way regardless
of results Senator Hill's refusal 20 meet
Cleveland also gives them much anxiety.
He left New York last night and nobody
knows when he will return. The Demo-
cratic leaders have received information
which leads them to fear hostility from the
national banks of the country. They learn
that these banks propose to fight the
Democracy because of the proposal to re-
peal the State bank tax and open the way
for the State hanks to issue currency. In
order 10 mollify them ex-COmptroller Tren-
holm Of South Carolina has been called
upon to issue a statement that the national
banks need not fear hostility from Cleve-
land IL elected.
The announcement that an effort has been
made by European Governments 10 induce
one or more South American countries to
cancel their reciprocity agreements with
the United States creates stir 10 political
circles. The Democrats see in il the dan
ger which developed from Minister Vests
letter four years ago.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3-The Times says:
Statements were made In political circles
last night with reference to the desertion
from the Republican party Of two Repub-
licans Of national prominence which caused
something of sensation wherever they
were heard. Wayne McVeagh of Pennsyl-
vania, United States Attorney General
under Garfield. and ex-Judgs Thomas NJ.
Cooley Of Michigan, formerly chairman Of
the Interstate Commission, are the men said
70 have decided to give their support to the
Democratic candidates and their indorse-
ment 10 the Democratic issues as defined in
this campaign. There was reliable author
ity for the statement that each of these men
would soon make public letters in which.
over their own signatures. they would set
forth the reasons which had led to their
change OF heart.
Nm ARBoR, Mich, Oct. 3.-Judge Cooley
this afternoon declined TO confirm or deny
the statement published in the New York
Times this morning to the effect that be is
about TO write a letter boiling the Republi-
can party and declaring in favor Of CleVe-
land. All he would say was the statement
was unauthorized, and that be is in too poor
health to enter actively into politics.
