The Eclipse.


Sunday evening VAS perfect for the
most favorable observation of the
total eclipse Of the moon. Not a
cloud appeared ,n the heavens.
Majestic in beauey the full-orbed
moon rose above the eastern horizon
and pursued her triumphant journey
across the heavens, effulgent, the
observed of wondering world. At
7;45 shadow fell upon the exterior of
its disc and gradually moved along its
silver surface until the observation
was complete. ! little after the
silver rim of crescent light appeared
on the opposite limb and increased in
size and brightness until at 1927 the
queen of night emerged Triumphant
and magnificent from the earth's
shadow.
The earth is an opaque body casting
a shadow into space. The sun being
larger than the earth the shadow of
the latter is limited, its length APP
proximating s65 900 miles or about 81
times the distance of the moon from
the earth. The breadth of this. shadow
at the distance of .he moon is nearly
800 miles or p times the moons
diameter In total eclipse of the
moon it passes through the shadow of
the earth at the ecliptic. At the
period of observation the disc of the
moon was visible with a deep duh
red or coppery appearance, caused
by the reflection of the sun from
the earth, the rays of light from
that body being bent about the
earth by passing through the atmos-
phere, as the illuIl mated side of the
earth is, as q mat tr of course in an
eclipse turned away from the moon.

) LONDON, Dec. IA letter from
t.den, Arabia, dated Nov. 20, gives
details of the Arabian revolt against
the sultan in Yemen, the coffee-grow-
ing district of Southwestern Arabia.
The Importance of the outbreak lies
in its proximity to Mecca. The loss
TO the sultan of the Mussulman Holy
City would probably mean mis- depo-
sition. Hence the strenuous official
denials which have been made of the
existence Of the rebellion.
So far the revolt has been confined
to the district around Kharmer, two
days journey from Saana, the capi-
tai of Yemen. The rebels number a, 900
Arabs. armed with Martini and Sny-
der rifles and led by Sayyid, a pre-
tender to the Imaunship of the whole
Yemen country, who wields great
influence and collects tribute or taxes
from all Arabs under Turkish rule.
Six thousand Turkish troops re-
Gently arrived at Saana from Con-
stantinople, and were distributed
among the garrisonS in the kharmer
district.
The rebels had already captured,
after severe fighting and great blood
shed, two Turkish forts at Kharner
and Balduba. In the latter 800 Turks
were killed. The garrison fed to
Masmer and begged the twenty-five
sheikhs there to help to recapture
Balduba. The sheikhs refused and
were taken to Saana and imprisoned.
The telegraph is constantly cut and
Sayyid, the pretender, burned the
letter and presents which the sultan
sends.

1t Seriously Complexities the
Turkish Situation.

CONSTANTINOPLE, via Sofia, Bull
garia, Nov 30.-It has not been con-
cluSiyely developed here what is TO
be the effect on the diSordered state
Of the empire Of the. REIMBURSEMENT
temporarily at least of the purpose of
the powers to introduce additional
guardships into the Dardanelles for
the protection of foreigners in the do
mains of the sultan. The ordering
back to Salonica bay of the British gun
boat Dryad, which had been ordered up
the Dardaneiles at the request OF the
British ambassador, Sir Philip Currie,
in anticipation of the promised grant
ing of the firmans by the sultan for
warships to pass through is officially
explained on the ground that the pro-
posed action would do more harm than
good by inflaming the fanaticism of
the Turks against foreigners on ac-
count of the supposed affront of the
sultan of what would, in effect, have
amounted to naval demonstrate
againt Constantinople. The effect of
the abandonment of its purpose by
Great Britain on the situation in Tur-
key is awaited with anxiety and great
interest The question of guardships
seems at a standstill for the present,
though the threat of Sir Philip Currie
to renew his purpose unless foreigners
should be exempt from outrage is still
open.
Undoubtedly one effect of the order
ing back of the Dryad to Salonica is
that the belief in the oft-alleged con-
cert of the powers in their attitude
towards Turkey is waning. The sultan
is known to have been skeptical as to
this concert for some time past, and
it is said has based his long-continued
opposition to Great Britain's demands
upon a belief that no such concert ex-
listed or that it could not endure for
any length of time. This belief can
not but have been in, part confirmed by
Great Britain's withdrawal Of her de-
mand after it had been so strenuously
pressed to the very verge of a crisis.
Whether Great Britain is Influenced
by the alleged danger to foreigners
from fanatical Turks which would en-
sue upon the proposed demonstration,
or whether she has learned to doubt
the approval of her action which might
be accorded by the other powers, is
therefore a question.

Passengers of the California in
Quarantine.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The Anchor
line steamer California, which arrived
this morning from the Mediterranean
with 500 steerage passengers, has one
case Of smallpox on board, woman
aged nineteen years. The steamer was
detailed at Quarantine and the patient
transferred to the reception hospital.
On arrival at quarantine Health Of
iicer Doty boarded the steamer and
made a careful examination of the
history of the case, and also as to
t4le steamers sanitary condition. The
patient was removed this forenoon TO
the reception hospital. The steerage
passengers were all vaccinated on leav-
ing Naples. Mr.. Doty made careful
examination of the arms of the steer
age passengers and all that were
found not sufficiently protected will be
reyaccinated. About 125 persons were
Eaccinated this afternoon and the re-
mainder will be examined tomorrow.
The patient, Carmelia Carritare, was
located in the after-steerage, which
contained women and children mostly.
All these passengers found not protect
Cd by vaccination will be revaccinated
and transferred to Hoffman Island for
observation. The protected passengers
will be allowed to proceed with the
steamer, which will be thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected before being
permitted to proceed to the city. The
steamer will be released probably to-
morrow afternoon. The California is
an old Anchor line steamer and has
oeeen engaged in the Mediterranean
trade for many years. DR.. Doty stated
that after careful examination of the

SHEPARD WILL NOT RESIGN.
Runor of Retirement of the WI
mona Normal President In
founded.

Special to the Globe.
WINONA, Mimi, Dec. 1.-For some
time past there has been somtthmg OF
a ruinor abroad to the effect that Presi-
dent Irwin Shepard of the normal
school, was about to resign his posi-
ton. which he has held for so many
wears so faithfully, and devote his
whole time to the secretaryship OF the
National Educational association. Tne
report has been investigated and
found without truth. Mr.. Shepard says
he supposed the rumor started from
an offer he received last July at the
Denver convention. He had, however,
consulted with Resident Director Nor
ey and other members of the normal
board, and fully decided at the time to
remain, and refused the position. The
salary offered was $1,000.
President Shepard is at present fill
ing the position of secretary of the
National Educational association, but
is allowed so much assistance that his
work is simply more in the line of
general supervision. He draws no sal
ary, and is holding the position as
matter of convenience TO the asso-
citation simply until it elects success
sor. He states that he h0pss to con-
tinue in the same work as he has been
doing for so many years past, although
his present salary is much smaller than
the one offered. He has been president
of the Winona normal for sixteen years.

ONE WHO WILL RESIGN.
Congressman McGann Will Head
Off a Contest. =

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Represent-
ative Lawrence McGann, of Chicago,
who held a seat in the Fifty-second
and Fifty-third congresses and was
chairman of the committee on labor In
the last congress, will furnish to the
house the unusual spectacle of a mem
ber making a voluntary REIMBURSEMENT
of the seat to which he holds the certi-.
ficate. AS soon as he is able to secure
recognition from the speaker, Mr.. Nc
Gam will make a statement to the
house to the effect that he thinks his
Republican opponent, Hugh r. Bel
knap, is entitled to the seat and that he
(McGann) valves all claims thereto.
This step will make it possible for the
committee on election, as soon as 1t is
organized, to report in favor of seating
Mr.. Beiknap and will relieve that gen.
tleman of the necessity of making q
contest before the committee. Mr.. Bel
knap, who will succeed Mr.. McGann,
is a son of Hon. W. w. Belknap,- who
was secretary of war under President
Grant.

that the shore on either side was
lined with troops under canvas.
Field cannon, only partially masked,
were placed at close stages along the
embankment. Two blank shots, on
from each shore, were fired at the
Loeb Rannoch. Thinking that this
was done in the course of military
maneuvers, Capt. Noble paid no at
tention, when three shells were fired,
one of them coming within yard of

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Claude Falls
Wright, secretary to the late Nine.
Blavatsky, delivered a lecture on
Occult Phenomena, at Chickering
hall today. The lecture was under the
auspices of the Aryan Thesosophical

ture, Mr.. Wright created a sensation.
by referring to the prayers of a large
body Of Christian Endeavors in Cleve-
land for the conversation of Col. In
gersoll.
'"They are doing a great wrong" he
said, 'and are praeticing sorcery or
black magic. You have no right to at
tempt to change a mans life because
you think it wrong and because it diff
fers from your own. If Ingersoll wants
to have a certain religion, why should
he not? The Christian Endeavorers are
not doing the fair thing. 1 don't think
they will have much success. They are
not competent to have great influence
as their minds are not right. Ingersoll
is a good man and this effort is only a
display Of egotism.
