Parker,burg Conference They Will
Know Moro-Charlie Wells the Man.
Special Dispatch to the Intelligencer.
WASHINGTON D. c., Feb. 26.-The
contest for the marshalship presents no
new features, although there are rumors
Of combines abroad. 1t Is said that the
list Of aspirants is considerably dpmIn-
ished. now that the smoke of the first
onslaught is dissIpated. Sheriff Franz
helm has entered the field as a cham
pion OF Mr.. Gardens interests. Hon.
John ]. Davis has been here interview
ing the powers In behalf OF Col. Jim
Hurry. Capt. Wells friends still claim
he Is the coming man. Attorney Gen
ernl Harmon has been seen by the
friends of each. The President has
had calls from the greater part OF them,
and all are figuring, each candidate Tor
himself, on the pointers obtained.
President Cleveland Is reported to
have intImnted that he would like first
20 hear from Senator Faulkner before
closing the Incident, and It is an open
secret, whatever may have been In
ferred In the early stages of the con-
filct, TINT Postmaster General Wilson
prefers to remain neutral. There are
rumors Of chlllIness In that quarter
that sent some OF the aspirants home
FOR additional wraps.
Tho argument used for Col Hurry Is
thai the First district is entitled to the
office, the Second district having the
coIlecturship, the Third the district at
torneyship, and that the Fourth had n
whnck at the mnrshnlshlp and could

dldate from his section OF tho First

keeps the objective always opposite the
stars to be photographed. The delicate
part of the task consists in the accu-
rate measuring and placing of the stars
shown upon the Photographic platc.
Each negative will be transferred in
duplicate ON copper, and the two plates
will be kept in different Observatories.
This is to obviata any chance of acci-
dent to the plates, for il both We're
lost. the damage would he almost ir-
reparahle. Some idea of the magnitude
of the task undertaken may be gained
from the fact that to reproduce the
map from the plates win cost over 81,
coo, 600. When to this are added the
cost of the instruments, the time of the
calculators and measurers, and the
numerous etCeteraS which pertain to Il
work of SO gigantic a nature, the ulti-
mate cost will be tremendous But the
may when completed, will be of inestm-
able value to astronomers. The idea
is to show just what aspect the heav-
ems presented at the period represented
Any changes subsequent to this period
will be at once detected, and val
liable information gained. We know
that the stars are constantly changing
their positions. but except in the case
of the larger ones. we do not know what
those changes are.
DIVIDING THE COST.
The observatories participating in
this work will each bear the cost of.
and be responsible for, its own particu
lar piece of sky. When completed the
photographs will all be forwarded to the
Paris observatory for the production of
the map.
Stellar photogra phs are always used
just as they come from the camera.
without any retOuching whatever. The
number of stars shown is proportionate
to the length Of exposure of the sensi-
tive plate. At first it was intended to
include stars Of the fifteenth magnitude
in the measurements, but the tremen-
dous additional labor involved caused
fourteenth magnitude. Very little is
known Of stars which are such an encr-
nous distance away, and no map or
record has ever before been made of
them. As matters stand at present Il
few millions of them might disappear
without astronomers being any the wis
er. This gigantic map was planned by
the Paris Observatory IN 1866, and a
proposition made to all the big observa-
tories to assist in the work. Since that
date the principal observatories have
been busy on the big scheme. which will
certainly be the most wonderful thing
modern astronomy has accomplished.
