THE NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS.
They Are for Boies or Cleveland fol
President.


Marsh Parker, an Omaha stock dealer
and W. d. Cook, of Lebanon, Kan. are at
the Occidental hotel. This is Mr.. Parker's
second visit to the Puget sound country,
for he was out here year ago to make in
vestments. OF the politics of Nebraska,
in which he takes deep interest, he said
last night: 1.-THE Democrats of our state
will probably send to Chicago delegation
that will vote for Boies on tine first ballot
and Cleveland on the second. The rank
and file Of our Democrats are undoubtedly
for Cleveland and tariff reform. | myself
am Democrat on account of the party's
attitude on the tariff. But should the
convention commit the folly of nominal
ing such tricky politician as David B.
Hill, of New York. should vote for Har-
rison--in case lie gets the Republican NOM

MINISTER PHELPS'S ALLEGED SPEECH.
Secretary Foster Thinks that There Is No
Truth in the Lntest Report Of 1t.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26-The cable despatch
from Berlin announcing that United States
Minister William Walter Phelps had created
general establishment in Germany by maxim.
an ill-advised speech eulogizing tho policy
and present opinions OF Prince Bismarck. and
by inference condemninG the policy OF tho
Government OF the German Emperor. to which
he is accredited. was received Mt tho State De-
partment with as much establishment
as the alleged speech is said to have
caused in Germany. Secretary OF State
Foster openly expressed incredulity as
to the truth OF the report. He did not believe
that Mr. Phelps. who prior to his appointment
to Germany had served with credit as Minis
Ter 10 Austria one of the most difficult diplo-
matt" positions in Europe had suddenly lost
ms discretion and good Judgment. On Tho

vessels have surpassed those Of similar grades
in other naves.
With the developme emit Of this industry. now
engaging plants worth many millions OF dol
lars. there has been Il constant struggle to get
promptly tho BIZ. tools necessary for tho work.
This also has been accomplished. and now
this country not only has the biggest and best
forge hammers and the best steel plants. but
within n year it has been found necessary to
build the biggest floating lifting machine or
derrick in the world.
After ar armored cruiser has been launched
and her machinery and armor plate have been
constructed. the problem is how to lift her
boilers and engines and put them in the hold
quickly. safely. and accurately. and how to
place the armor properly in position with the
smallest expenditure OF effort. Every ship
yard has n stationary derrick or shears on the
end of n pier with which to lift ordinary ma
chinery into n vessel. But when armor plates
have to be put in place with such derrick
the vessel m ust be moved frequently and with
great nicely. When 7O-ton boilers have to be
raised there is great danger to tho derrick. to
tho pier on which the derrick is anchored. to
the vessel waiting for tho boilers. and to the
boilers themselves.
To obviate this difficulty tho Messrs. Cramp
of Philadelphia have recently constructed a
derrick. at a cost of 100000. which Ia tho
most complete and ingenious thin. OF tho k ind
ever made. 1t has the superb record of lifting

ALBANY. Nov. 26-Prof Boss OF tho Dudley
Observatory to-day emphatically denied the
statement OF Prof. Very OF the Allegheny OBJ
servatory that the comet about which there is
90 much talk is Biela's He says:
There is emphatically no foundation what
ever for such an opinion now. have made
many observations upon the comet and most
careful computations as to its orbit. The
comet is unquestionably at least 100000. 900
miles beyond tho orbit OF Biela's comet. 1t
was in perihelion last June. when its distance
from the sun was 2OO.0O0.0OO miles and from
the earth more than 100 .OOO.OOO miles. While
1t moves in its present orbit. MS it will until it
comes near Jupiter at some time In the future
not known at present. 1t will never come any
where near the earth. Since June the dis
tance Of the comet from the sun has been in
creasing continually. and for several weeks
its distance from the earth has been increas-
ing. till the distance Is now 15O.OOO.OO0 miles.
All these figures are uncertain in the sense
that the distances may he wrong 10 per cent.
The comet may have been nearest the sun in

idence found on examinations OF the appear
worth considering in this problem. Such ex-
aminatons helped to deceive us ten days ago.
Whcu tHe evidence was lmp0r-
feet. but they deceive us no longer. This
comet is like any ordinary periodic comet. so
far AS those who compute tho orbits OF comets
arc concerned. There Is not one computer OF
such orbits who does not clearly understand
and accept the idea that this comet is moving
in an ellipse. all parts OF which are far from
the orbit OF the earth.
My latest computations make the time OF
the comets circuit around the sun in its clip
tical path to be nearly seven years. Two weeks
later expect to get more exact figures. but !
am absolutely certain that the new figures
will be in the nature OF improvements to the
present ones and not revolutionary changes
in them; The motion OF tho comet across the
face OF the sky Is very slow indeed. and this is
what made the calculation of distance exceed
inGly difficult ut first. but each day the motion
Of he comet develops the true nature OF its
orbit more exactly. and every new test con-
firms the conclusion | reached week ago.
The earth passes near tho track OF Biela's
comet next Sunday night. as 1t does every year
about this time. Wo are rather expecting
moderate display OF meteors. perhaps such II
display as occurred In 1872 or 1885. But this
will have no connection whatever with the
comet SO much talk ed about. On the next clear
evening after Sunday the comet will still he
seen in the predicted place and its position
will be measured by scores OF astronomers
SO no one need fee! tho least apprehension
should meteors in numbers shoot nthwart tho
sky tomorrow evening Such display would
be quite In the ordinary course Of events"

by Mr.. Freeman OF Brighton. Eng.
Its position on Nov "a was right ascension

A circular was issued here to-day by the

bits OF the Holmes comet. one computed Dy Dr.
kreutz and cahleh from Europe. and he other
computed by Father Searle ~ Washington.
The two orbits agree in u period Of from six

The comet passed its nearest point to the
