NOT VERY SUCCESSFUL
OBSERVATIONS OF THE SUNS
ECLIPSE IN PARKWAY CLIMES.
The Phenomenon Viewed by British
tie value-Fog I'm Japan.

LONDON, Aug 1.-THE Times has dis
patch from a correspondent at Vadsoe. on
varanger fiord. near which point obser-
vations of the suns eclipse were taken by
Mr.. Downing, superintendent of the British
Nautical Almanac. and number or other
English astronomers, including Sir Robert
Ball, of Cambridge. This correspondent
describes the impressive scene of the
moons shadow sweeping over the earth at
the moment of the totality of eclipse. The
view from DIR. Commons observatory" he
says, extended for thirty miles up Varan-
ger ford to the mountains opposite. The
deep purple shadow plunged the noun
tains in temporary obscurity. AS 1t ad-
vanced across the ford the shadow envei-
oped the training squadron, the details of
the rigging disappeared from view and the
ships lights cleaned forth brilliantly. Still
the shadow pressed on with majestic speed,
mile in every two seconds. 1t moved as
swiftly as a cannon ball until IL reached
the observers at Vadsoe announcing the
totality of the eclipse. Complete darkness
lasted for one hundred seconds. The un-
wOnted spectacle hushed one TO silence. A
few startled birds hurried past the camp.
Although all visitors felt that the magniri-
cent phenomena was worthy of remem-
brance, scientific results of all the labors
were hardly anything. The light around
was not greater than that of a full moon.
but in the distance the mountain tops were
shining brilliantly. The manner in which
the darkness lifted was almost startling in
its suddenness:. but the sun was still hid

LONDON, Aug. 1O.-The feature of Ii

struck those who are escorting him around
this country is his good humor He is per-
petually on the grin. When Mr.. Chamber
lain was introduced to him in the House Of
Commons Tuesday Ii was convulsed with
laughter at the Colonial Secretarys mon
ocle. He kept pointing al it like child
and finally burst into a loud gufaw that
drowned the voice of the member who was
addressing the House at that moment Mr.
Chamberlain, who is becoming an accom-
plished courtier, made an admirable pre-
tense of enjoying the joke. 1t is perfectly
true that when Ii espied two legislators sit
ting in their places wearing the now fash
ionable yellow waistcoats, he observed to
Mr.. Curzon, through an Interpreters
These. surely. are two OF the great men
of your assembly,. They happened to be
nonenities, whose names even were un-
known TO Mr.. CurZon.
When LII was having an interview with
Lord Salisbury he Immediately noticed the
British Prime Minister'S peculiar habit of
jogging his left knee UP and down when
ever seated. Ii fixed his eye on the Pre-
mier's knee, smiled broadly, and then began
to jog his own knee in mimicry. This
rather disconnected Lord Salisbury. who di-
verted his attention by firing an awkward
question at him about the instructions to
trade offered by the Chinese government.
1t is impossible TO ascertain whether any
diplomatic object has beeL gained by the
British government or not through his
visit. He is vigorously noncommittal in all
his observations. and not an inkling has
been given of the tenor of the report he
intends TO make TO the Imperial Council on
his return to Picking. He has been careful
to explain that he has no executive power.
and is simply sent TO make general in
quiries.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Arthur s. Sewall,
the Democratic candidate for VICE Presi-
dent. arrived in this city this afternoon in
order 10 appear on Wednesday at Madi-
son-square Garden to receive the official
notification of his nomination. He left Bos-
ton several hours earlier than anticipated.
with the result that when he reached here
there was nobody to receive him. quar-
! ter of an hour later. however. he appeared
at the Fifth-avenue Hotel, where he is
stopping.
Mr.. Sewall has a merry twinkle in his
eye as he talks, but he seemed 10 weigh his
words carefully. and occasionally hesitated
as though fearful of saying something That
would not look well in print
"As you know" he said. Il have come on
TO be notified of my nomination. How long
my stay in New York will be depends In
great measure upon Mr.. Bryan, as ii is un-
derstood that he and Mrs. Bryan are to go
with me to my home at Bath, Me-, some
time after the notification. OF course,
will take them with me Immediately there
after, if they are ready to CO.. .
In talking or his native State Mr.. Sewall
admitted the State was such Republican
miracle If he carried it. He stated that the
fight there as we'll as elsewhere, would be
one-sided, but the fight would be in the
West.
What do you think of the possibility Of
a third ticket being placed in the field, and
the result of such movement In case IL Is
done?" he was asked.
We'll / am not enough of an expert in
politics TO tell what the result OF such a
movement would be, but l will say that /
do not regard the movement as one pos

will be time enough to talk of that when
the meeting in Indianapolis takes place.
Mr.. Sewall said he was hopeful OF the
REF ults OF the coming campaign, although
it was a little carly to make predictions
and that in spite of the fact that he was
not a speech maker, he still expected to b:
able TO do 50.

FOrecaster DunwOOdy Says Relief
May Come from the Northwest.

WASHINGTON Aug. 10. = Major Dun
woody the weather forecaster, scanned the
map tonight in vain for a prospect of re-
lief from the torrid heat under which the
country has been sweltering for the past
week. 1t was slightly cooler in the Ohio
valley, and the lower lake region was given
a slight breathing spell by thunderstorms.
The temperature had also fallen slightly in
the Mississippi valley. the mercury to-day
registering but 90. against 9S at St. Louis
and Chicago, yesterday. But out on the
prairies of Nebraska and Kansas and to the
southwark along the gulf States humanity
struggled to exist at 100 degrees. The At
lantic coast, as far as Boston. showed very
high temperatures. AT the latter place it
was Sc, which was also the maximum at
Atlantic City. The same temperature ex-
listed at Albany. There was no prospect
for relief in this territory tomorrow.
Away up in the extreme Northwest, in
the Rockies however, Major Dunwoody
saw a ray Of hope The barometer had
risen there to-day and had fallen in the
lower central valleys and the lake region.
If high and low areas develop the hot
spell will be broken. But even that is

as he shook his head. THE conditions be-
yond the hope that lies here and here
tically unchanged. ] see no prospect Of
generally cooler weather until Wednesday
at the earliest. Local thunderstorms may,
however. afford temporary relief at various
points.
The temperature here to-day was not so
high as yesterday, the maximum being
ninety-three as against ninety-eight. There
was one death and six prostrations. John
w. Stahl, machinist at the navy yard
was the only victim. Towards evening a
fresh breeze sprang up and the tempera-
tIIre fell ra mildly
