The rules in use in the U. 8. weather
bureau for determining whether day is
clear, partly cloudy, or cloudy, are a.
follows: If the sky averages three-tenths
or less covered with clouds between sun
rise and sunset the day is recorded
"clear;" If more than three-tenths and not
more than seven-tenths the day is record
ed "partly cloudy" II the sky averages
more than seven-tenths covered with
clouds the day is recorded cloudy. There
is NO way of determining the exact
amount of cloudinsss only BY the per-
sonal estimate of the observer. but
usually observers of considerable ex.
perience do not materially differ in their

The year 1895 is "leap year" and the
month of February has twenty-nine days.
The name leap year refers to the fact that
for year after the insertion of the addl-
tional day, each date comes two days later
in the week than it came the previous
wear. instead of on the following day Of
the week, as in ordinary years. The dates
may be said to leap over day. The leap
wear contains 366 days, or two days in
excess OF ffty-two weeks. According to
the Julian calendar, all years are leap
years which are divisible by four.

CHINESE TERRORIZED.
Thirteen Notorious Highbinders
Ready to Kill for Money at
San Francisco.

San Francisco Cal, July 25.-The bit
terness of the vendetta OF local Chinese
merchants was shown today in the arri-
val and warlike preparations of thirteen
of the most notorious Ratchet men in
the state. The appearance of these high
binders and the announcement that the
price held upon the heads of Joe Car
and Lee Nee Toy had been increased to-
$1,000 caused the greatest excitement in
the district. News spread rapidly and
the agents of both sides were on the
streets, at the police station and at the
Chinese consulate.
1t is claimed that the highbinders have
been brought to this city by Lee Zip
Duck, the Chinese merchant and gam
bier who instigated the expulsion of the.
prescribed merchants from their society
and at whose door is placed the blame.
for all the recent disturbances, including
the murder of the Chinese clam digggers
-Four Chinese have reported to the au-
thorities that they overheard a converse
ton in which lie Zip Duck guaranteed to-
pay $1,000 for the life of either Joe Car
or Lee Nee Toy. These men are willing
to swear TO their statement and insist
that a series of new murders is being
planned.
Most of the Chinese highbinders who,
arrived in the city are from Fresno.
They belong to the PoW-on-Tong. the
most notorious and most powerful high
binders society in the state Among it's
members are the most desperate Chinese
criminals in California.

CECIL RHODES CENSURED.
He Had Guilty knowledge of the
Preparations for the Jane
son Raid.

Cape Town, July 25.-The House of
Assembly has unanimously adopted the
report Of the select committee on the
subject Of the jameson raid on johann
ncsburg. The report finds that Cecil
Rhodes, who at the time was premier
TO Cape Colony, was fully acquainted
with the preparations for the raid and
that Alfred Belt, a director of the Brit
ish South Africa company, DR.. Jameson
and DR.. Rutherford Harris, also d.
rector of the British South Africa com
pany, were active promoters of the raid.
The report further declares that there is
no evidence that Mr.. Rhodes in
tended that the Pitsana force should
invade the Transvaal unlimited. but that
at the same time there was an absence
of any peremptory command from Mr..
Rhodes forbidding the raid. Rhodes and
Harris, it is alleged, drafted telegram
containing such prohihitory command.
but the message was never dispatched.
With these facts in view the report
says, the committee cannot acquit Mr..
Rhodes of responsibility. The report
further alleged that all the funds for
the raid were contributed by the Brit
ish South Africa company and with the
knowledge of the London office the
money being afterwards refunded by
Rhodes. In closing the committee say
that they are forced to the conclusion
that the conduct of Mr.. Rhodes was not
consistent with bis duty as premier of
Cape Colony

favorable 70 the Bryan clement. The
middie-of-the-roaders had held a meeting
the evening before and had decided to
vote IN the convention hall against the
acceptance of Butler, just as was done
iii the case of Hill at the Democratic
convention at Chicago. But when the
time came this element decided that it
would be unwise to force test of
strength. so after Gov. Stone of Missouri
had delivered an address OF welcome and
ign& thus Donneily of Minnesota had re-
sponded to it. Mr.. Butler was permitted
TO take the chair without opposition. His
opening address was III a measure a dis
appointment to both factions of the con-
ventiou, for he did not defGe where he
stood on the question Of endorsement of
tn Democratic ticket. 1t was argued.
however, that the constructive impartial
it., OF . presiding officer would preclude
any such expression of opinion. A re-
cess WAS then taken until S O'Clock in
the evening.
When the delegates assembled in the
evening they found that the wind storm
which had prevailed most of the day
had wrecked the electric light wires, and
the convention hall was III darkness save
for the glimmer of few candles. 1t
was just as well, perhaps, for neither
faction was ready to go ahead with the

would receive the nomination. the Texas
delegation. which had made much of the
trouble during the week, withdrew in a
body.
Then the Bryan supporters worked up
a demonstration, and the beiligerent
Texans returned and tried to break it up.
Several fights occurred and the police
were called III to quell the trouble, which
was approaching the dimensions of a
riot
Bryan was nominated in the face of
his telegram last night that he would not
accept unless Arthur Sewall was also
placed on the ticket The speakers in
their addresses all urged that the Popu-
lists could nominate whom they might,
and that it was not for any person TO
refuse the nomination until it was made.
The correspondence which passed be-
tween Mr.. Bryan and Chairman Jones
was as follows:

The First Day
The hour set for the assembling of the
Peoples party, or, as it is more COM
monty called, the Populist convention,
was II o'clock on Wednesday, July %,
but it was almost half an hour later
when H. E. Taubeneck, the national
committee chairman. concluded that it
was advisable to drop the gavel and call
the body to order. A preliminary can
vass of the convention had shown that
a very large proportion Of the delegates
if indeed not a majority, were in favor
of endorsing the ticket and the PLATFORM
with perhaps some additions to the lat
ter, that the Democrats had adopted
at Chicago few weeks before. There
was, however, some question whether
this endorsement should include Sewall
the vice-Drcsidential nominee of the
Democrats, and who was regarded by
many as a man who had been allied
teo closely 70 the plutocratic element to
be acceptable to the rank and file of
Populists. Arrayed against this portion
which favored endorsement were the
commonly called middle-of- the-road peo-
pie, who claimed that the Populists had
been fighting losing battles as a mat
ter of principle for years and that now,
when there was chance for victory. it
would be unwise to accept and endorse
the platform and ticket of a former
enemy.
The national committee had selected
as temporary chairman of the convention
Senator Marion Butler of North Caro-
ina, and this was generally regarded as

*Connecticut cast one vote for Dopnelly.
(a) Ohio cast for Debs, 2 for Donnelly
ond 1 for CoXey.
After the vote had been announced
word flew around the hall that Gov.
Stone had an important telegram from
Bryan.
The dispatch from Bryan. it is said,
was sent to Stone and by him sent to be
read before the convention, but, it is de-
clared, Senator Allen refused to read 1t.
1t was understood that Mr.. Bryan
stood squarely by the declaration OF his
telegram of last night.
Gen. Weaver when asked, said that no
telegram be read.
Donnelly announced on the floor that
a telegram had been received from Bry-
an absolutely declining to accept the
nomination.
Chairman Allen said there had been
rumors of a fictitious telegram of some
sort, but he had not seen it.
Senator Allen took the position that the
Bryan telegram was a fake gotten up
to force the nomination of Sewal. The
exact contents Of the telegram, if there
was any message, were not made known.
Stone and Patterson left the conyen-
ton hall without getting an opportunity
to read the Bryan dispatch.
Ashley of Texas asked if there was a
telegram on the secretary's desk from
Bryan.
Chairman Allen said there was not and
had not been.
Then there was a demonstration on the
announcement of the vote. The states
paraded the hall.
There was a row in the Texas delega-
ton. The Bryanites attempted to pull
down the middle-of-the-road banner and
the Texans fought with fists.
The convention adjourned sine die.
