why They Oppose the Miles Mandamus

Why They Oppose the Miles Mandamus.
Secretary Carlisle and Internal Revenue
Commissioner Miller yesterday, by Assistant
Attorney General Whitney, filed in the su-
preme court OF the District their answer to
the application of the Miles Planting and
Manufacturing Company of Louisiana for a
writ of mandamus to compel the respondents
to resume and continue the official inspection
of cane-sugar production. 1t is contended
that the acts asked for in the petition are ex-
ecutive and not ministerial in character; that
the respondents are charged as part of their
official duty with the construction of the reve-
nue. acts OF Congress, and that the construc-
ton so given by them is not renewable by
any court upon application for writ of man
damus. Oral arguments on the application
for a writ of mandamus will be heard by the
court next Thursday

emergency. Disease makes him unequal to

a circular letter to every collector Of Gus

BY EIGHT MAJORITY
Registration Bill Passed in the
Commons by a Close Vote.
Lord Rosebery's Ministers Alarmed at
the Loss of SuppOrt-Sign0r Crispi
Explains Italy's Position.

LONDON, May 4-Sir Edward Clarke's
motion to reject the registration bill on
the ground that it does not provide for a
redistribution of seats was rejected by a
vote Of 292 to 29S in the House of Com
mons to-day. The registration bill then
passed it's second reading.
The Standard says that the smallness of
the government majority caused the great
est CONSERVATION in the ministerial ranks.
The small government vote is due to the
abstention from voting of six Mccarthy
ties, eight Parnellites and several English
Liberals. In most cases the a~bstentions
were deliberate. It Is believed that the
bin will come to grief in committee. and
the vote by which the Clarke motion was
rejected is the most significant warning that
the government has yet received.
The Daily News says the House Of Lords
may perhaps be encouraged by the small
ness Of the majority o the Clarke motion
to reject the bill. The reduction in the
majority, however. can easily be explained,
and as the measure is likely to be much
modified in committee speculation upon its
ultimate destiny would be premature.

GALES COMET NOW VISIBLE.

Henry M. P%arkhurst, in New York Herald.
Those readers of the Herald who had good
eyes or an opera glass and who had looked
in the position indicated in my former
articles have seen Gales comet. Possibly
they may not have recognized 1t, since Ii
was only of the brightness OF the faintest
stars visible 10 the naked eye, and, being

parison with Proctors star Atlas, there

ton where the comet was plainly visible.
Or II could have ben recognized in a tele-
scope, however small, from it's nebulous
appearances. / first saw IL on the evening
or April 20. at 7:4O u. m., when twilight was
but half ended. 1t suddenly appeared where
/ had been searching for some minutes,
1t was not visible. The moment the dark
ness became sufficient the comet became
visible, and Immediately after l found that
/ could see 1t in a small telescope, and soon
after with an opera glass. 1t will be useless
to look for II earlier In the evening, as 1t
is growing intrinsically fainter. Upon COM
found that it was forty-lve degrees east
and forty-eight degrees north OF the
computed position; that is one de-
gree to the northeast. 1t was with
In the same field of view with
the predicted position, even in the large
telescope. Yet the apparent discrepancy is
much Increased by the fact that the comet
Is so much nearer to US than when it
was discovered. 1t has been approaching
US, although now receulnS. L nave revised
the orbit from the position of the comet
on May /, and found that the time of the
perihelion passage was stated within half
an hour. and the perihelion distance within
a hundred thousand miles of what / now
make il. 1t will continue to be visible on
clear evenings for another week, and is
now conveniently high above the horizon,
but to follow IL further IL will be neces-
sary to give the positions more accurately.

between Procyon and Cor Hydrae. as be-
fore stated, its motion is at present about
four degrees per day toward the middle of
the Sickle. in the head of Leo. of which
Regulus is at the end of the handle to-
ward the left of the group. This will bring
IL on May 10 10 a position ten degrees to
the right OF Regulus and ten degrees be-
low the middle of the curve of the Sickle.
BY comparing il with the star Atlas, and
returning TO the same position on a subSe-
quent evening and noticing its absence, 1t
will be easy to verify the observations and
guard against the possibility of mlstaking
some faint star for the comet. Such a
verifcation will give a conviction that pre-
dictions OF the motions of comets are not
mere happy guesses, but are founded upon
immutable scientific laws. / think there
will be no difficulty in seeing the comet

ROME, May 4.-Prlme Minister Crispi
made an important speech in the hambe
of Deputies this evening. The debate on
the foreign estimates had been resumed and
the Prime Minister'S speech was brought
out by attacks made upon him. Signor
Crispi said that he could not allow those
attacks to pass unnoticed. The Dreibund
was defensive; not offensive. Whom could
Italy desire to attack? War with France
would be madness. and Italy had no cause
for dispute with Russia. The Dreibund,
therefore, was peaceful. and If 1t were dis
solved even the radicals could not desire

foreign power. / remember that France

Fashionable Women Who Hope to
Get Something for
New York Press.

NEW II 1ICSS.
The efforts made by society people to pay
with invitations and polite phrases the art
lists who entertain them have been mani
glad of IL. The infinite insolence and con-
ceit in the point Of view which permits a
fashionable woman to ask a man like Jean
de ResZke or Emma EameS to dinner and
to a casual acquaintance with the familiars
of the hostess, on the supposition that
such familiarity justifies her In asking
artists to do something" In the drawing
room afterward, is really possible only In
a community of the most primitiv sort.
If New York society could hear itself dis
cussed behind the curtain of the Metro
politan Opera House and Abbey's Theater
IL might be shocked; but IL would do good.
This sort of thing has been going on ever
since society tried to take advantage of
and recalls a story of the celebrated violin
list, Paganini, who executed a solo on the
CT string-the silver string of the violin. A
great lady said 10 him:
There is no other man i'm the world but
you, SignOr, who could play q solo on one
string. When you use four, you transport
us to Paradise. When you use but one. you
take us beyond. Come to my house and
dine with me. And III tell you what /
think you can do. Bring your violin with
YOU and play us a solo on no string"
accept your invitation; / will play a solo
on no string"
A large and distinguished company gath
cred In Portland place TO meet the illustri-
Gus violinist, and incidentally, OF course, to
hear him play. Paganini kept his engage
ment. He played a solo on no string. He
did not come.
