'The main object Of his visit to Arequipe,
you know, was to photograph the stars,
nebul@, alusters and spectra. He sends US
the photographs that he takes down there,
and we study them here. You see it is like
this: The brain is here, the eye is there.
Incidentally he is making careful observa-
tion of Mars Down there, you see, he has
sll the night to work, for Mars is visible
from sunset to sunrise. The season of rainy
weather comes all at one time of the year.
During August there will not be one un-

probably have 30 many each week.
Good Chance for Study.
"He will not make many photographs of
visible all night, you see, he can take sew
eral views of certain point on its surface
when one side is visible during the early
evening; early the next morning another
side isseen. This gives good opportunity
for study. The huge areas of snow he
speaks of seeing are nothing but white spots
near the poles. They are supposed to be
snow because when near the sun they grow
smaller and when turned from the sun they
appear larger. The blue line near the
Equator is said to be an ocean, but we have
no more proof that this is so than We have
that the green spots are vast forests or that
the red spots are vast areas of red stone or
rocky mountains Next spring my brother
will return, stopping first in Chilli to observe
the eclipse of the sun, which occurs April Is
to 16. Mr.. Bailey will then take charge of
the station, for we intend to keep some one
there all the time"

Anthony, the 2-year-old boy OF John Batz,
of st. Clair township, who disappeared SO
mysteriously Wednesday night at IL
o'clock, was returned to his parents yester-
day morning shortly after 6 o'clock.
For a time il was thought the
child had been kidnapped. and his parents
were greatly alarmed Yesterday morning
his father appeared at the Twenty-eighth
ward station and reported that his child had
disappeared, but the police could do nothing
as it was outside the city limits He said
that he had left the child in hammock on
the porch, as the child was unwelL His
wife had gone away to visit Mrs.
Stein, sick neighbor, He went
into the house, but when he came out about
midnight the child was missing. A search
was instituted. but without success
Mrs Michael Glekl, who brought the
child back, said that about 2 o'clock in the
morning she was awakened by the furious
barking of their dog. On going out she
found the little boy in the road and took
him in. She had kept him till on learning
where he belonged she returned him imme-
diately.
How the child could have gotten away
without attracting attention is still mys-
terry. The door was said to be tightly
fastened and could hardly be opened by the
little fellow. He was also found quite a
distance from home, and that at an un-
seemly hour.

An Ex-Government Official Prevented by
Politicians From Getting Ofac, Again.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1L-[SpeciaL J.
Every time vacancy of any Importance oc-
ours in the Treasury Department the name
of ex-Assistant Secretary Charles E. Coon,
of New York, is brought to the front by
some of his over-zealous friends. The res
ignation of Assistant Secretary Crounse, and
the probable retirement of Assistant Secreta-
ry Nettleton at an early day, will create two
vacancies in the Treasury Department, both
of which Mr.. Coon formerly occupied. He
was an efficient officer during his long serv-
ice in the Treasury Department, prior to
the Cleveland administration, and many of
his friends would like to see him re-enter
the public service. When the Harrison ad-
ministration was inaugurated a strong
pressure was brought to bear upon the late
Secretary Window to restore Mr. Coon to
his former position as Assistant Secretary.
The opposition came from prominent New
Workers, who did not consider him of suf-
fcient political importance to merit such
rich place.
When Mr.. Window died and his successor
appointed another effort was made In Mr..
Coon's behalf Secretary Foster was
favorably inclined toward tie ex-Assistant
secretary, Out again tne POLITICIANS IN new
York refused to give their consent to his
appointment. He went into the banking
business with Commodore" A. E. Bate
man, and the latter failed, it is said, with a
large sum of money in his pocket Bate
man turned up here during the recent meet
ing OF the Republican National Committee
as proxy for the Georgia members In
official circles it is said that Mr.. Coon's
friendship with Bateman is one of the prin-
cipal objections to his recognition by the
present administration.

May Drive the New fork Walking Dele
gate Out OF the Field-A Scheme on
Foot That " ouId Abolish the Present
System Employed in the Big City.
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-[Special ]-Dis-
trict Assembly 253, Knights of Labor, feel
ing sighted by the way in which 1t has
been overlooked in the settlement of the
late building strike by the Board of Walk
ing Delegates, is, it was stated to-day, con-
sidering a plan for doing away with the
board altogether. During the strike great
deal of rivalry developed between the two
bodies. A member of the district said to-
day;
"Our idea is to abolish the board alto
gether, and have II or 13 inspectors ap-
pointed under one chief. They would be
very carefully picked from the chief trades,
and would perhaps have higher salaries
than the walking delegates. The plan is to
assign an inspector to one district of the
city and make him responsible for it. We
suggested it some time ago, and will bring
it up again"
GLOW are these inspectors to be selected"
he was asked.
"We would issue call to all the local
assemblies in our district to send the names
of eligible men to general meeting of the
district. The selection will be made with
due regard to the special fitness of each
man."
He went on to say that the inspectors
were carefully to note each building of the
Buddensiek class, and if the contractor en-
ployed non-union men, to proceed against
him first by ordering out the men, and
secondly by reporting the building to the
authorities. If union men were employed,
he intimated, the latter matter would not be
pressed.
Secretary Clayton, of the Board of Walk
ing Delegates, said he had never heard of
this plan. He did not consider it seriously.

IGNORANCE AIDS CHOLERA.
Another Fierce Plague Riot Reported From
Turkish Province.

Another Fierce Plague Riot Reported From
Turkish Province.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Aug. ia dispatch
received here from Trebizond states that on
August 3. serious disturbance occurred at
Platana, seven miles west of Trebizond.
The trouble arose from the enforcement of
sanitary regulations adopted by the Turkish
officials to prevent the spread of cholera.
Nearly 1900 persons were detained at the
lazaretto at Planata and they attempted to
break through the sanitary Gordon. The
local authorities were powerless to handle
the crowd and battalion of troops
was hastily summoned to quell the
disturbance. The soldiers responded
and orders were given for the
crowd to disperse. They refused to do SO
and the commander ordered his men to fire.
At the first volley seven persons were
killed and large number were wounded
The people were terror-stricken and fled
back to the lazaretto.
Advices from the Crimea and the Cau-
casus state that the cholera is decreasing in
virulence. In Northern and Central Russia,
however, the disease is increasing, and in
Moscow, % more factories have been
closed, owing to the spread of the
plague. The Grand Duke Sergius
Governor of Moscow, has surprised the
people by his display of personal energy in
dealing with the plague; while the Grand
Duchess Elizabeth, granddaughter of Queen
Victoria, devotes her personal attention to
the relief of the sufferers. Besides the
sanitary precautions taken, prayers are Of
fered up daily in the churches for the abate-
ment of the pestilence.

GETTING INTO SHAPE.

Democratic Headquarters the Scene Of
Considerable Activity-w hitney Issues
a statement-Sorry He Has Been Made
Bone of Contention.
NEW YORK, Aug. Fittings are getting
in shape at National Democratic headquar-
tiers. Hon. Don NJ. Dickinson, whom the
fellows at Republican headquarters refer
to as ''the man with the ginger-ale side
whiskers," arrived from Detroit to-day, and
in his wake came Benjamin T. Cable, Of
Illinois, ex-Secretary William c. Whitney
and others There was quorum OF the
campaign committee on hand, and Chair
man Dickinson called them together in the
evening. Only routine matters were dis
cussed. The gratifying information was
impaired that money is coming in rapidly.
Hon. William c. Whitney had read of the
aches and pains OF the anti-snappers over his
elevation, and he prepared a statement. 1t
was pounded out on one of the many type
writers at headquarters, and it is as follows:
Iquite agree with Mr.. Grace. I have no
doubt it is quite true, as he says, that there
is some dissatisfaction owing to the promf-
nence given to me and Tammany Hall. My
made too much of. 1 have not been party
to it myself, and have refused all honors in
connection with the campaign: These things
will wear off. MIR. Grace himself will be
very influential in smoothing out differences.
1t will take little time. After such con-
test over the nomination as there has been
We must expect individual jealousies. In
the main our people are united. There is q
grand public spirit actuating the party at
this moments determination to win. I
have never seen a campaign open with the
same spirit of loyalty and devotion. Mr..
Cleveland has publicly stated his determin-
alton to forget that there have been any
differences. In a short time no one in the
Syracuse movement will be looking around
to see whom he is locking arms with,
whether a Tammany man or one of his own
people. l see this coming very rapidly, and
cause of any bad feeling.
At Republican National headquarters 1t
was the gossip that the President is to stop
over in New York on his return from Loon
Lake, the first week in September or there
abouts; that the New Workers, it is declared,
are to get up reception for him in Madi-
son Square Garden; that all the chieftians
are to be on hand, and that the President is
to make the greatest speech of his life.
William Brookfeld, Chairman of the
State Committee and President of the
County Committee, has been with the Presi-
dent at Loon Lake for several days.
1t is given out that the Republican Ma
tional Committee will not openly take
hand in the Alabama dispute between Kolb
and Jones, but, at the the same time, that
fight has been determined upon, and that it
will be directed through the underground
wires leading out of Hon. Thomas Henry
Carter's bureau at 61S Fifth avenue.

TINE FOR PRECAUTION..

Care Being Taken in New York to Prevent
the Spread Of smalIpox-Instruction as
to Vaccination and Sanitary Inspection
Vigilance the Price OF Health.
NEW YORK, Aug Ill Special because
of the large number of cases of smallpox
which have occurred in this city during the
past month, President Wilson, of the
Health Board, DR.. Cyrus Edison, the sani-
tary superintendent, and DR.. Charles r.
Roberts, Chief of the Bureau of Contagious
Diseases, have held conferences to decide
what steps to take to guard against possi-
BILE epidemic.
DR.. Edison said to-day that at yesterday s
conference 1t was decided that while during
the present season the danger from small
pox was at its minimum, the appearance of
SO many cases indicates possible outbreak
of the disease during the coming fall and
winter. 1t was resolved to adopt energetic
measures to guard against such a possibility.
The district within which the disease has
been mainly confined lies between Canal
and Fourteenth streets, Broadway and
the North river. This territory has been d.
vided into 20 districts, to each of which
will be assigned a sanitary inspector. The
inspectors will begin tomorrow house-to-
house visitation of the districts They are
to observe and report the sanitary condition
of each house.
These instructions to the inspectors were
issued by DR.. Roberts:
You will visit every apartment therein
occupied by a family In the district assigned
you. Examine thoroughly, and fully satisfy
yourself whether there is or has been any
case of smallpox in the premises. Take
memorandum OF each house by number, and
number of families visited in each. II a case
is found, developed or suspicious. telephone
this office Immediately. Vaccinate all per-
sons who wish or who have been in any way
exposed. Recommend every one to be re-
vaccinated as soon as the cool weather will
admit, both adults and children.
Before vaccinating, cleanse that portion
of the arm where the virus is to be applied
with an antiseptic solution. Virus needles,
antiseptic solution, and lint will be supplied
at this office. Make return of those visited
at your regular weekly report.
More persons have been vaccinated dur
ing the past six months than during any
similar period. Up to August $4,000 vac
cinations were made. The physician who
attended Joseph Daneri, the Italian candy
maker who was found dead yesterday from
smallpox in the tenement at lO1 West Hous-
ton street, has been asked to explain to the
health department, why he failed to report
the case.

Young Man He Had Arrested.
CHICAGO, Aug. n.-Yesterday a young
dudish looking man registered at the Pal
mer House as DR.. Moore, of New York.
To-day he was arrested by Detective Bailey
as E. G. Dumas, of Boston, who is wanted
in that city for a forgery of $3.50. The
young man took his arrest with GOODNESS,
but protested his name was Moore, and not
Dumas, and if Detective Bailey would have
the kindness to come up to his room he
would show him papers to prove that his
name was Moore.
The detective went up to the room, where
the young man showed him papers lying in
the bottom Of large sample trunk. Bailey
stopped over to pick them up, when his
prisoner seized him by the heels, dumped
him into the trunk, slammed the lid, locked
the door of the room and made his escape.
1t was Is minutes before the detective was
released from the room, and he Is now hunt

Forty Relatives to Bring Suit Against the
Beneficiary OF the Will.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE announce
ment to-day that the relatives of the late
Mrs Hopkins-Searles are about to bring
suit against her husband for what they con-
sidered their fair share in the estate, caused
surprise in this city. The attorneys for MIR.
searles say there is no possibility of such a
suit, in as much as the relatives of Mrs.
Searles have no claim whatever upon her
husband. If they have any claims to put
forth, the time to have done 80 was before
the will was admitted to probate and the
estate placed in the hands of Mrs. Searles'
executors.
The relatives declare that after he had
made settlement with Timothy Hopkins,
Mrs. Searles' adopted son, Mr.. Searles
promised them each $25, 900 if they would
not oppose the admission of the will to pro-
bate. There are 40 odd relatives of Mrs.
Searles, and they, it is said, propose to join
issue and do what they can legally to re-
cover what they claim as their own.

Recent Events Show Both His Physical and
His Mental Health Are Good.
LONDON, Aug. I-Many alarming re-
ports have been spread lately regarding the
health of Mr. Gladstone, some of them
stating that it was believed he was on the
verge of collapse, and that he would never
be able to stand the worry and strain of
Parliamentary battle. His mastery speech
Tuesday on the amendment to the address
in reply to the Queens speech showed no
failure in his mental capacity.
As to his physical health, Herbert Glad
stone, his son, calls recent reports 'mere
rubbish" He in Inmates that these reports
were spread by the Tories for purpose.
Considerable comment was caused by Mr..
Gladstone suddenly leaving the House of
Commons Tuesday and it was hinted that his
speech had proved too much of strain upon
him. Herbert Gladstone explains his
fathers sudden withdrawal as being solely
due to his desire to catch a train.
