DoUBLE CANALS on MARS.
Interesti.g Observations jest Nsde-Thee-
rtes or the Astronomers

BosToS, Nov. 19.-A despatch was received to-
day from Mr.. Percival Lowell. at the Lowell OBJ
servatory. Flagstaff. Ar!z.. saying that the canals
OF Mars, as observed last night. had begun to
double. and that Phison and Euphrates were
seen TO be geminated.
TIL duplication of the canals OF the planet
Mars is a phenomenon for which astronomers
have been watching with much interest. Il was
frst observed by the Italian astronomer. Schiap-
arelli. several wears ago. He announced that
some OF the straight lines which are known As
canals were seen to be accompanied by a parallel
line, ms II another canal existed beside the first.
During. the different UpIOsitiOns OF Mars the
canals have Icen closely watched TO i learn more
about the duplication.
The first EUROPEAN astronomer 20 observe the
phenomenon was perrotin ut Nice. who. in two
successive opposittcns. observed duplication. In
this country the canals were observed doubled
BY Lick Observatory in 1890 and again In 1899.
During the present opposition one canal only
has heretofore been announced rs double. this
being Ganges. and the observer. Prof. Holden Of
Lick. Observations Of the same canal since
that time have not shown II 20 be continuously
double.
The cause OF, the duplication is by no means
Mr.. lowell thinks that It Is de-
pendent upon the season. and has predicted that
the canals would not he seen i'll duplicate until
some time In November

By the death Of Mr.. JOIN WALTER OF the
London Times, and by that OF VI. FRANCIS
AGSA OF the Paris ESg1ro. England and
France have los; men who may he spoken OF as
their most potent journalists In recent times.
Both OF them were men OF eminence. ability. and
influence. IL may be said that Mr.. WALTER
was the master and director OF the Times, and
that NJ. hAGNARD was the chief OF the Figaro.
Both OF them were men Of strong political con-
victions, and both were conservative. No Eng
fish politician excepting Mr.. GLADSTONE has
been more influential than Mr.. WALTER for
many years. Many accomplished journalists
have come TO the front in London during the
forty-seven years service of Mr.. WALTER. and
many brilliant editorial writers have arisen in
Paris during the career OF VI. MAGSARD: but
two newspaper men Of influence as great as
theirs are not now to be found upon the press OF
England and France. Peace TO their ashes.

II was an intolerant remark that temporary
Chairman ADoLPH FAILowITZ made at last
Sundays meeting Of German BARRIERS. 1T is
high time" he exclaimed as soon as he took the
chair. " that the German BARRIERS Of this city
should crush out such adirty class as the Italian
BARRIERS" Hold on, FAILOwITZ Don't go so
fast. Stop AMI think. Firstly. why should the
German BARRIERS crush out their Italian rivals ?
and. secondly, how can they crush them out ?
We remark that an Italian has as good a right
AS a German to run a BARRIERS shop, and we re-
mark further that the Italian can invoke the
law against anybody who may try to crush him
out. Neither Germans nor Americans can get
monopoly ofthe BARRIERS trade in New York as
against the Italians, the Russians. or any other
race of mankind. II Is TO the BARRIERS who can
draw the customers that the money goes. and
we infer from the speeches at Sundays meeting
that the Italians must be drawing shoals OF
them. We suppose that many OF them are
Clearly. for an unclean barber would be an
abomination. IL the italian prices are too low,
there Is no help for that, as all details OF the
kind are regulated by the great law OF COMPETE

no place In this country.

Raw Material.

The list Of so-called popyun bills left over
now threatened for revival. affords a new
exhibition OF the humbug OF the free raw
material enterprise.
One of the four popguns is for free barbed
wire! Will somebody tell us where barbed
wire grows, and of what manufacturing in
dustry It constitutes the raw material ?
Anether popgun is for free sugar, but there
is no popgun for free rice.
Food can be fairly called n free raw maze

II there is a principle in it. why isn't rice TO

raw sugar. IL this topic rs Mr.. CLEvE.
LAM has it, will not admit OF compro-
mise rice should be free before sugar.
IL one thing is made free, something else.
as Senator VOORHEES, himself acknowledged
when presenting the WILSON bill to the
Senate, must be taxed more heavily. Sugar.
iron, coal, and barbed wire are to be made
free because thereby the free raw material
statesmen think they can best catch the
favor OF the people. They desire to see other

the family by Judge Colt OF the United States
Circuit Court this forenoon In q decision fled in
the case of Emily A. Corliss and others against

suit was brought by the widow and children of
George II. Corliss, the inventor ana builder of
the Corliss engine. to enjoin the defendants from
publishing and selling a sketch of Mr.. Corliss
and from printing and selling his picture with it.
The bill did not allege that the publication
contained anything scandalous. Iibellous, or
false, or that II affected any right of property,
but the relief asked for was on the Eronnd that
the publication Is an injury to the feelings Of the

WEsLEYAN,s TYPHOID CASES.

NEW HAVEN. Nov. 1o.-Dr. G. A. Linsay. Sec
Rotary OF the State Board Of Health. has com.

1T was learned that six b~anque;s were he'd
at the college. and 1t was found thatfhe fever
patients were among those who attended thys
OF them. The bills Of fare were carefully
looked over and the only things In common
were oysters and fruit. 1t IL difficult to see how
such fruit as apples. bananas. and oranges tan
contain fever germs, as the inside OF the fruit
only is eaten. There Is no reason to suppose that
fruit caused II. -Four of the bills OF fare had
oysters. three raw and one cooked. There were
no victims Of the disease among those who at
cooked. II was found that all the oysters fr--
nished at those three ~banquc,s where raw
oysters were eaten were purchased from on
dealer in Middletown. He got his Oys.ers IRON,
one firm In New Haven.
We learned that this firm brings its oysters
up to beds In the Quinnipiac River. where they
are kept In the hrackish water for from twenty
four 70 forty-eight hours. The process rcaiy
Injuries the oysters, but II makes them LOOK
nicer. We learned that there was a large
amount Of sewage discharged into the river
from houses on the east shore. At one house
there is what Is called a private sewer thai
empties. Into the. river near the oyster beds O.
were two cases Of typhoid fever. The inveSti-
is not complete. but 10 Is q very strong
chain Of evidence against the oysters. The ques-
tion now being looked into Is whether the germs
OF the disease can live in brackish water, and I
think there is not much doubt that they can"

Mr.. Carii.ie'- Use or His Speech for Mrs.
Cleveland.

To THE EDIToR OF THE SUN-Sir I was a
spectator at the launch OF the ANS St.
Louis at Cramps's shipyard In PHILADELPHIA
last week and | also heard Secretary Carlisle
pronounce what you declared in an editorial
article in last Fridays sus "a most beautiful ora.
torical tribute to- the wife Of the man from whom
he has suffered and is suffering so much"
Will you permit me to differ with you in the
Characterization OF that speech. Considering
the circumstances OF the address II not only
seems 10 me that II was not beautiful. but was
in wretched taste.
II will be remembered that Mr.. Griscom,
President Of the American line. proposed a
toast to Mrs. Cleveland. Mr.. Griscom an
nonnced that Mr.. Carlisle would speak for Mrs.
say for Mrs. Cleveland what she would say for
fences Mr. Carlisle ditId confine himself i sen 4
graceful expression Of thanks on her behalf.
prnpriety. he turned sqnarely about and said
things of Mrs. Cleveland which never in the
world could she or would she have said OF her
self; Remember. he was making Mrs. Cleve-
lands response. Can any one imagine that gra-
ciou, woman referring ." herself rs a "sover-
eign,"' til" only sovereign in the hearts Of
Nor would she, willingly allow any, one de
puted TO speak for her IN use such Language.

10 those who have been interested in the ru-

and the Secretary IL was like a revelation, and
perhaps i FURNISHES i solution Of the mystery as

If tho Wilson Bill Had Passed Intact.

Fifty millions Of dollars are to be got into

Another "reminiscences Of Grover Cleveland =,
a Law practitioner in this city during the inter
val between his two terms a. President Of the
United States is the action Of James W. Saxton
against the elevated roads for damages TO hi'
property 1T 1893 Third avenue, next the north.
east corner Of Seventy-sixth street, IN which
Justice Patterson Of the Supreme Court yester-
day entered a judgment for the plaintiff.
The action was begun in 1888. After = long
reference before Mr.. Cleveland he rendered a
decision that neither side accepted, and both
appealed TO the General Term.
Mi. Cleveland decided that he could not award
damages for loss Of rental between the begin
ming Of the action and the final Judgment The
General Term decided that he should have made
such allowance. and then the case proceeded to
the Court of Appeals on an appeal Of the roads
on alleged errors in the findings. z. W. Tyler.
counsel for Saxton. had got the report changed
to suit him by the General Term.
One Of the grounds Of appeal shows that the
referee had no intention Of getting left in his
fees. The exception to his finding in this regard
reads:
ITO so much Of the eleventh conclusion Of law
as requires the defendants TO pay the referees
fees as the sole condition Of staying execution
on the Judgment" Mr.. Cleveland received about
5000 from the defendants for his fees.
The Court Of Appeals further corrected the
report of Mr.. Cleveland and ordered q reversal.
Mr.. Cleveland found that the damages TO the
fee Of the property was $4,000. and that the
for six years loss OF rental before the action IL
commenced, and. rs the General Term held. up
tn the final Judgment, which vests the ease
ments in the road upon payment Of the fee
damage.
There was no referee In the second trial. jus
tice Patterson going over the whole case. He
finds that the fee was damaged 81. 900 and that
the loss of rental is Sl5Oa year. Mr.. Cleve,
of Justice Patterson Is $1,000. there being more
than twelve years loss Of rental. Justice Pat
terson has added an extra allowance of $3.50 and
costs to Saxton.
Referee Cleveland was also unfortunate with
some of the first cases he got. They were the
actions OF heirs OF John Jacob As
dollars against the city for taking certain parts
Of he North River water front which had been
in the Aston family since 1910. Mr.. Cleveland
found that the heirs were entitled TO 500 a lin
cal foot.
When the case went on appeal to the General
Term Presiding Justice Van Brunt, In writing
the opinion. decided that the amount was ride
land to hear the case again. and take evidence
W hich he had previously rejected concerning
what the Dock Department had paid for other
similar property. Mr.. Cleveland went at it
and in his next report found that the
heirs were entitled to 5000 per lineal foot. The
errors of Mr.. Cleveland in his first report and
the taking OF evidence were not without their
bill for referees fees.
Justice Patterson. who gives the present judy
nent in the Saxton case, appointed Mr.. Cleve-
and referee in that case.
