JUPITER OCCULTED.
A Phenomenon Which Occurred Before

A Phenomenon Which Occurred Before
Sunrise To-Day.
An occultation of the planet Jupiter by
the moon occurred this morning, and
the beautiful astronomical phenomenon
should have been plainly visible TO the naked
eye
The times and phases were computed by
Professor George Davidson for the geo.
graphical position OF his observatory on
Clay-street Hill.
All the moons of Jupiter were visible and
occulted, OF course, a superior opera-glass
showing these satellites before the planet
approached Luna too near.
The occultalion of Jupiter occurred 8
hours and 10 minutes after crossing the
meridian In the early morning. with the
moon three days past in the full, and we'll
up in the northern sky ON account of its
northern declination.
The diameter of the moon was 80 minutes
OF arc and that OF the planet 46 seconds, or
twice the diameter OF Mars occulted on Sat-
urday.
The prediction of the first contact Of the
center OF the planet with the moons limb
was Tor oh Sam 54s A. NJ. Pacific standard
time, or about IL minutes before sunrise.
The preceding limb touched the moons
about 30 seconds earlier and the following
limb appeared about as many seconds later.
AT the temperance Of Jupiter from be-
hiud the moon, the contact of the planets
center with the limb of the moon was reck-
oned for 6b sem 46s, with difference of 80
seconds earlier and later Of the preceding
and following limbs respectively.
According to the reckoning of the point
OF contact the planet was immersed little
to the left OF the moons vortex and emerged
trfle in the same direction Of the lowest
point
The moon will be in conjunction on the
10th with the third bright planet. Venus,
now remarkably bright in the early morn
ing sky and having apparently diameter
greater than Jupiter.

ONLY BLUPFING, PERHAPS.
The Canadian Pacific Itching
for a Rate War.
Trickery Over Differentials Prompted With.
drawal From the Transcontinental
Association.

In certain quarters the withdra wal of the
Canadian Pacific Railway Company from
the Transcontinental Association is con-
sidered only bluff.
1--WE have given the regulation ninety
days notice of the withdrawal both OF our
freight and passenger departments" said NJ
M. Stern, the district freight and passenger
agent in this city.
what will be the effect?
"The effect will be that the travelling pub
lie and shippers will receive from our with
drawal the benefit of lower rates than are
current. 1t is significant that such will be
the case.
'The Great Northern has given similar
notice, but that is no concern of ours. We
are in to protect our shippers and to fly on
our wings"
Ii is obvious that the Great Northern can
not continue in the fight ON equal terms
with its councillors in the north, because
its line from Spokane to the seaboard is not
completed and in operation. 1t can hardly
become factor In this controversy until it
is able independently to move its freight
TO and from this coast.
There is much in this new ENHANCEMENT
that has not yet come to the surface, and
will not for while.
The reason given by the Canadian Pacific
lOf Tvs WltuuEdWdt dpptaTS 10 D6 tDdt IL has
been compelled TO submit to the Southern
Pacific and generally tricked by it in the
Transcontinental Association.
Commissions, rebates, special bargains
aud all the other persuasive conditions
given by freight traffickers to favored ship
pers have served to lessen the value of the
differentials allowed 1t to keep out of open
competition with The other transcontinental
lines.
While 1t has kept its agreements with the
other lines, the suspension of the notice to
put into effect Tomorrow the proportional
rates OF the Southern Pacific on import
traffic is accepted as an Indication of de-
sire to 90 before the association on Janu-
airy l In the most favorable light possible
| and represent that 1t was forced to UNDER
| take defensive move.
The Canadian Pacific maintains watch
| full eye on California business, and it can,
perhaps, afford to assume its present indie
| pendent position. for 1t Is able to move its
freights by sea between the two coasts as
well rs the Southern Pacific via New Or
leans. and thus becomes its formidable
| rival.
This movement, which to merchants may
| mean future relief from the tribute on for
eign imports, payable TO the Southern
Pacific and other lines of the Transc0nti-
mental, promises to lead up to pretty
! fight. 1t may result in import goods being
brought here via Cape Horn. saving the
exorbtant charges of railway lines.

year filed libel on the steamer, claiming

of the steamer fled libel on The bark,
claiming $3.50 damages. The late Judge
Ogden Hoffman dismissed the first libel, and
his action was sustained on an appeal to the
Circuit Court
The case was then taken up in the Circuit
Court Of Appeals and again the libel was
dismissed. The second libel was referred
to Commissioner Hoffman TO take testi-
mony and assess the damages. He finds
that the steamer State OF California suffered
damages to the extent Of 1896 05 and the
bark Portland TO the extent of about SS000
As lie also found that there WAS contribn-
