Splendid Observatory and Telephone
to Be Placed at FIagstaff.

A Splendid Observatory and Telephone
to Be Placed ut Flagstaff.
When Passenger Traffic Manager w.
T. White returned from California and
passed through Topeka few days ago,
he was accompanied by Col. Nolan and
daughter and John A. Lowell of Boston.
Mr.. Lowell represents a famous Mass
achusetts family who have determined
to erect astronomical observatory
somewhere in the southwest At Flag
staff, Ariz., the conditions were found to
be most favorable. The Santa Fe people
insist that Flagstaff is the proper place
for the observatory, and the residents of
that place have donated a fine site, SO
that it will probably be erected there.
The magnitude of the enterprise may
be judged to some extent from the Pact
that one of his telescopes will be of
eighteen inches aperture, or three inches
larger than that of Harvard, while the
others will be twelve and six inches re-
spectively. The prime object of the
work is to afford a superior means for
the study of Mars. while that planet is
in a position on its orbit that brings it
nearest to the planet we inhabit. Mr..
Lowell will personally direct the work.
With the advantages afforded by the
excellent atmosphere, the superior opti-
cal means and the position of the planet
during the present year, it is thought
that Mr.. Lowell will be able to add ma
terially to the worlds stock of informa-
ton about Mars.

IS GERMANY RETA
Notice that the Importation or American
Beef aud Cattle Is TO he Prohibited.

WARRINGTON. Oct. 20.-Tho German Ambas-
sador to-day formally notified the Secretary OF
State that, In consequence OF the Introduction
OF Texas fever by means OF two shipments from
New York. the importation Of fresh beef and
cattle from the United States to Germany will
shortly be prohibited.
The Department of Agriculture, which main
tains a careful inspection OF cattle and meat
products exported. insists that It Is impossible
that cattle affected with Texas fever or any
similar complaint could have been shipped from
New York. as claimed by the German officials.
No reports have been received which indicate
that this disease or any other could have
recently been exported from the United States.
Cattle are not expected to arrive In perfect con-
dition In foreign ports after the long sea voy-
ages, particularly at this season OF the year,
when vessels are liable to have rough passages
The feverish condition thus produced by the sea
voyage Is probably what Ii called Texas fever"
by the German Government.
No complaints have been received from other
countries. and II Is therefore thought that this
marks the commencement OF policy OF CONF
mercial retaliation against the United States on
account OF the discrimination against German
beet sugar In the new tariff law.
The Department OF Agriculture will DO called
upon to investigate the complaint made by
Germany. and Secretary Gresham, II Is expected
will send protest against GermAny's action TO
that Government through the American Am
bassador at Berlin.

For the two years Just closing the Dem

sponsible for the conduct of public ar

which we have witnessed IN business circles Was
the result OF many causes, some or them OF a
political character, many because or undue
Ejaculation the part OF our people. The
American people, beyond all others, are given
TO speculative enterprises, and when apparent
good times exist speculation becomes FaInpant,
and enterprises which In the very order OF
things must COLLAPSE, are engaged in, and then
a crisis comes % those who engage In such un-
dertRkings. The past year witnessed the crisis
OF such period. That elimination was has
tened by two acts, the responsibility for which
must rest upon the opposition.
THE thoughtful student OF the financial and
business conditions o. the past year who VIII
rise above party and view these questions In the
light OF business principles, must unAvoidably
be drawn 20 the conclusion that the two great
causes of the distressing condition Of affairs
which NE have witnessed all over this land;
which In turn have injured the undertakings OF

ELEVEN MINERS ENTOMBED.

Probabilities or . Rescue.

Iron MOUNTAIN, Mich. Oct 20.-One man
was instantly killed and eleven entombed alive
in the Pewabic mine yesterday. The accident
was due TO the collapse OF the sandstone which
rooted the room on the fourth level, where the
men were at work. The dead man is Frank
Gabora. The entombed. 80 far as their names
are obtainable. are Thomas Penglay, William
Oliver. Samuel Husband, George Wilcox,
stephen Allen, William Baird. George Porene,
John Thomas. George Richards, Peter Holberg,
and John Farrell.
The accident was on the fourth level of shaft
No. l, and took place at o'clock yesterday.
The lives OF the entombed men will be In
jeopardy for many hours, "a 1t will take con-
siderable time for force of men in the narrow
shaft to clear away the debris. The settling
began in an old room above the third level,
about 100 feet in height.
At q O'Clock this evening the rescuers had dug
to within eight feet OF the men, and some OF
them at least are still alive, as tapping can be
heard on a pipe leading to where the men are
entombed. II Is now thought probable that at
least some of them will be taken out alive, but
the rescue can hardly be effected before day
light tomorrow.
