Monarch of Telescopes.

A San Francisco, Cal, special says:
Ex-senator James G. Fair is inter
ested in a telescope building project
which may result in the construction
of the greatest star magnifer the world
has ever seen.
The instrument will not only bring
distant planets nearer than the great
equatorial at Lick observatory, but it
will permit as many as fifty persons to
use it at the same. time. The instru-
ment has been perfected by Professor
George, formerly director of the as
tronimical station at Melbourne, but
now in the Paris observatory.
There he has worked on his new
telescope, which will have no tube.
1t will be a reflector with a mirror
twenty feet in diameter. The cost
will not be more than $10O, 900, yet it
will have ten times the light-giving
power of the Lick Observatory glass.
Mr.. McGeorge, when he had perfected
his plans, began limiting for amillion-
aire patron. He wrote to an old friend
in this city, DR.. Mclean, and gave
him an outline Of his plans, Mclean
saw ex-senator Fair and the California
capitalist was so much struck with the
idea that he offered to advance money
to build the telescope and mount it in
the Lick Observatory. The plans is to
perfect the glass here and then take it
to the Paris exposition, whereit would
soon pay for itself.

FORMAL NOTICE IS ISSUED.
New Rate of Interest Fixed on State Funds
In DAnOSitOrY Banks.


MADISON, Wis, Feb. 21.-The State
Board of Deposits to-day issued the fol-
lowing notice to bankers concerning the
reduction of interest on state deposits:
OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF DEPOSITS, MAD
IsoN, Wis, Feb. q, 1S94.-At a meeting OF
the Board of Deposits, held pursuant to
the provisions of chapter 273 of the laws
of Wisconsin for the year 1891, at
the executive chamber in the capitol
in the city of Madison on Tuesday, Febru-
airy 20, 1894, the following resolution fixing
the rate Of interest to be paid by the state
repositories upon state moneys deposited
with them. was adopted:
WHEREAS, There is at present in the
vaults of the treasury the sum of 1888, 900
which this board is unable to deposit in the
banking corporations Of this state at the
presentrate of interest, and the same must re-
main in said vaults uninvested and without
drawing interest unless the rate heretofore
fixed by the board is reduced; and
WHEREAS, We are satisfied that all of the
moneys in the state treasury can be depOs-
tied in the banking corporations of this
state at the rate of two (2) per cent. interest,
and being satisfied that the interests Of the
state require it, therefore
ReSOlUed, That the rate of interest from
and after March /, 1894, be fixed at per
cent. until further order of this board and
that all of the state repositories be required
to furnish new bond, as required by law,
to comply with this resolution.
GEO w. PECK, President.
Attest, t. J. CUNNINGHAM
Secretary of the Board of Deposits.
1t is thus seen that the Milwaukee
bankers have been successful in their
effort to reduce the rate of in
terest. They announced some days
ago that unless the rate was reduced
they would refuse state funds. Attor-
ney General OConnor, who is q mem
Der of the board, admitted to-day that
the matter at present is virtually in con-
troll of Milwaukee bankers. In addition
to the $75S, 900 in the vaults of the treas
ury, the state has about 81 100000 on
deposit in banks, a large part of which
is in Milwaukee. Mr.. O'Connor says it
would be impossible to place more than
half this total of 100000 in banks
outside of Milwaukee if all took the full
amount they could under the
law; and he says it is better to
loan the full amount at 2 per
cext. than half at 3, even if outside
banks would take it at that rate. He
thinks, however, the Milwaukee bank
ers have grounds for their action,
as interest rates have been reduced by
Eastern banks, with which they must
compete. He is confident that better
rate can be secured By June /, as he ex-
poets to see business improve by that
time, and also from the fact that the
state will have less to loan, as it will
pay out about 81 100000 between now
and that time.

CEREMONY IN THE SENATE.
WaShlngtOn'S Farewell Address Read in the
Upper House Of Gnngras2.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 22.--Four
bright ensigns of heroic proportions
flung their folds to the four winds Of
heaven from the dome of the capitol
under the snowclad statue of Freedom
this morning, in honor of the anniver-
sary of the birth of George Washing
ton. Pursuing custom established q
few years ago, the Senate observed the
day by reading Washington'S farewell
address. Senator Hoar is responsible
for this custom. Ali matters Of his
torical import are cherished by thu
senior senator from Massachusetts, and
ceremonial is dear to the heart of all
senators. This is therefore likely to re-
main the permanent custom of the
Senate. When Senator Hoar made
the suggestion that the president pro
tenn. be requested to read this honored
document to the Senate, it was re-
garded with some fippancy by certain
members of the Senate. John J. In
gals was then president pro TEN. of the
Senate. Arrayed in the faultless raj
ment which always characterized the
Kansas senator, he read the address in
an impressive manner which held the
attention Of all those who heard it.
Since Ingalls, retirement, Senator Man
dersOn as president pro tenn. has read
the address. This year Senator Harris,
the president pro tenn, asked to be ex-
cused from reading, and suggested SEN
atOr Martin, of Kansas, as q substitute
The ceremony did not attract a large
audience

BREEZY AFFIDAVIT FILED.
TuSIer- Keenan, St0ddard Case Comes to the
Front in the Omaha Courts.

Front in the Omaha Courts.
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 22.-The long
fought and somewhat sensational case
wherein Catherine M. Tusler and her
brother, DR.. keenan,, of Madison, Wis,
are arrayed against Henry 2. Stoddard
and William E. Healey, of this city, and
which caused a bloody fight at Madi-
son couple of years ago, has
been given another turning over in
the courts Of this county by the filing of
an affidavit by Congressman George d.
Meiklejohn, of the Third Congressional
District of this state. He alleges that
during the fall of 1891 he was employed
by Mrs. Tusler to go to Madison and try
to fix matters in a manner so that
they would be satisfactory to all parties
concerned. With Lawyer Healey he
JOurneyed to the Wisconsin town, where
he was introduced to keenan,. The
meeting was in drug store, and as soon
as the time Of day had been passed the
congressman AYERS that keenan, went
to the back end Of the store, where he
armed himself with a heavy cane. Re
turning to the front of the store he
claimed: -, I'll kill YOU"
Suiting the action to the words, he COM
menced to beat Healey over the head,
knocking him down, after which
he turned his attention to the
deponent, striking and beating him
until outsiders interfered. After the
battle there were iniunctions restraining
the Omaha parties from interfering
with the management of the ranch and
also injunctions restraining the Wiscon-
sin parties from doing the same. In
this condition matters now stand, wait
ing for the case to be called fer final
hearing
The suit was instituted some years
ago, but it has never been tried in the
courts, though half dozen knock
downs have resulted from the charges
which have been made in the petitions,
answers and other filings. AS the story
goes Mrs. Tusler came into possession of
a ranch and bunch of stock in the
western part of the state, and Messrs
StOddard and Healey were intrusted
with the affairs of the estate with
woman named Nelson, who had the
care Of the property on the ranch. For
a time all went well, but eventually Mr..
Keenan, charged that the affairs of the
estate had not been managed as they
should be. Healey and Meiklejohn
went to Madison for the purpose Of ad-
justing matters. A pugilistic encounter
with Keenan, ensued and Congressman
Meiklejohn had his nose fractured.
