ARE YOU READY.
This is the Day for the Head End
Collision.
The Comet and the Esrsh to Clash
as They Whirl Through
Space

New York, Nov. 26-The comet discov-
cred by Holmes on Nov. was q very close
neighbor of the earth today, and by noon
tomorrow it viii be at the point of its
course nearest the earth. If this is Biela's
comet it is of particular interest TO US be-
cause its orbit lies within few thousand
miles of the earth. Biela, an Austrian OH
Ger, discovered the comet, which was
named for him in 1896 Gamoert. French
man, determined its period-that is. the
time required to complete a revolution of
its orbit. For this reason the comet is
often known as Gambert's. On its return
in 1882 it was clearly visible, but when it
became due in 1889 IL was above the horizon
only IN the daytime, so that its light was
hidden by the greater glory OF the sun. 1t
was on its temperance in 1916 that it at
tracted special attention by splitting into
two pieces. Previously its shape was much
lice that Of a big brass headed tack or an
ice pick. For nearly Eve months the parts
Travelled side by side at q distance Of $780,,
0cO miles, showing no sign of mutual at
traction, but connected by g faint band of
light which has caused the parts to be
hkened to the Siamese twiRs. When next
the comet or comets returned the 100, 600
miles had increased to million and half.
That was the last seen of them, although
astronomers have since carefully searched
the heavens until in 1872 and 1886, when
the meteoric showers already spoken OF
occurred. The present is the month and
the year when the comet is due to return,
provided it has not been disiRtegrated in
the meantime. The comet now visible in
the constellation of Andromeda may be
Biela, or may be another that has appeared
merely by coincidence. AS far as the ap-
pearapce of the celestial visitor
is concerned no inference can be
drawn. Comets vary in shape and size
almost from day TO day. Pointed to the
earth 'head onn as the present comet is,
it cannot be said even whether it has the
usual tail. The comet now in sight pre-
sents the usual characteristics. According
to Professor Rees, the coma, or
neuhlOu5 envelope surrounding the
nucleus, is almost perfectly spheri-
cal The nucleus is well developed
and elognated. At times il seems to show
signs of separation. The streamer of light,
the ''taii'' usually accompanying a comet,
is as yet visible, but whether this is due to
lack of that member, or, SIS already ex-
planned, 70 the position of the body, cannot
at present be determined.
Ever since the discovery of Biela's
comet men have stood mora or less in
dread of the fiery visitor. If 8 comet
should strike the earth, head on, NO one
can say exactly what the consequences
would be- In all likelihood the particles
composing the Gomez would be dissipate d
| by friction long before they passed
/ through the fifty miles Of atmosphere sur
rounding the earth.

THE COAL COMBINE.
How the Companies Meet and
Fix Prices.
Evidence Given in the Reading Investigation
-PinkertOn's Story Of the Home
s.ead Blot.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The sub committee
of the Interstate commerce committee con-
tinued their Investigations into the coal
combine today. Vice President Holden of
the Lackawanna road testified freely as TO
the companies which met and fixed prices
from time to time, but declined to say how
the restriction of the output was accom-
plished.
Holden admitted that his company was
represented at the Underwater meetings
which were in the nature OF conferences
aud the various companies represented
usually acted 10 concert. There was no
agreement between them as 20 what the
reduction of output or each should be.
There was some process, however, by
which companies reduced production TO
meet public demand Witness also stated
that the producers had no agree
ment among themselves so far as
ne knew by which they acted
in harmony in fixing the prices. He said
that since the existence of the comb1na-
ton there had been no material decrease
in the output. In fact for 1892 1t was al
ready the largest ever known, and ex-
ceeds last years output by one million and
a half tons
Congressman Patterson stated that the
committee wanted to get at the fact, if it
existed, that the companies acted accord
ing to an agreement in the matter of limit
ing production. E. H Mead, president of
the Pennsylvania Coal company, testified
that his company was represented at the
Underwater meetings and said there was no
agreement by which each company re-
duced its output proportionaly. The com
mittee then adjourned until Monday

There is an almost unanimous feeling
among the members of the reichstag
against proceeding with the army bill until
the governments financial projects con-
nected with the measure are disclosed, and
the house will compel Chancellor Voa Ca
priyi TO make an explicit statement
during the discussion Of general
estimates. The Centrist and national lib

1 WASTE OF THE.
The Monetary Conference Likely
to Be a Failure.
SO SAY THE MoNo-METAIIsTs.
ROthschiId's Proposals viii be Given to the
Public on Monday. the Text Not Yet
Being Completed.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 26.-No meeting Of the
International Monetary conference was
held today, the adjournment yesterday.
being until Monday The proposals Of
Alfred de Rothschild, one Of the English
delegates will be made public today. Cen
eral expectation centers on the plan Of
Rothschild and the bimetalists are San
guine that it will form the basis for So
luton OF the question before the confer
ence. On the other hand the mono-metal-
lists declare that in view OF the position
taken by the German and Austrian dele
gates and the probable attitude of the
British representatives the conference is
certain to fail ana that it will only be a
waste OF time TO prolong the discussions.
1t was said yesterday that RothschiId's
proposals would be made public today, but
the text of the proposal is not yet COM
pleted. ROthschild says they VIII not be
seen In final shape until Monday. Among
the rumoTs in circulation to which the DEL
egates attach Importance, are that the va
rlous European powers will yearly buy
silver to the minimum amount OF five
million pounds sterling at 8 price to be
fixed by general agreement on condition
that the United States continues silver
purchases 10 the extent Of fifty-four mil
lion ounces
Notwithstanding the fact that Roth
schild refuses 70 give out proposals until
Monday the report generally today is cred
tied that they will contain statement that
an international syndicate should be
formed TO Guy silver until the normal value
of the metal is reestablished.

Fought for small transporting
Notes.

HELENA, Mont. Nov 26.-LSpecial tele-
gram to The HERALD. Fireman, heavy
weight, was hammered out in the sixth
round, by Ike Hays, the colored scrapper
before the Helena Athletic club tonight.
The scrap was terrific one, but in the
fourth Hays landed trip hammer right in
the region of Freeman's heart. which made
him lose confidence in himself.
In the fifth Freeman was groggy and fell
over twice from sheer exhaustion and
barely escaped being counted out. In the
sixth he fell down after a lively exchange,
and stiffened out, being unable to get up
for few minutes. Up to the time of the
heart blow Freeman had rather the best of
of it. He had the colored man bleeding at
the mouth and nose and had he not been
winded, could have won before receiving
the disastrous jolt. The purse was $40.

BosTox, Nov ga cable message was
received tonight from European Union as
tronomers. announcing the discovery of q
faint comet by Mr.. Freeman of Brigh-
ton. England. Its position on Noy. "a
was 3S9 degrees, Greenwich, mean time
right ascension ten hours and twenty nine
minutes; declination north thirty
degrees. nine minutes. 1t has
motion directly south Of three
degrees daily and about six
degrees south of the Holmeo comet The
Science Observer, a comet circular issued
here today, announces officially two clip
tic orbits OF Holmes comet, one computed
by DR.. Kreatz and caoled from Europe,
and the other computed by Father Sears,
of Washington. The two orbits agree in
the period from six to seven years
for the comet is in an orbit which
is more nearly circular than that
of any other comet except Faye's. The
comet passed its nearest point TO the sun
some months age, and is now going away
from both the earth and the sun. For a
comet SO distant it is exceedingly bright
and should this prove TO be its normal con-
dition and not due to some outburst, there
seems 10 be no reason why il should not be
seen constantly for some years to come.
