Prof. T. j. J. See, of the Astronomical;

cago, Is reported to be at work on the
problem of evolution, not simply that
of the earth, but that of stars and uni,
verses His leading line of thought or
the subject is directed to the effects OF
tidal action in a gradual alteration Of
the orbits OF bodies, this being con.
sequent to the investigation of change,
In the distance of the moon from tn,
earth due to tidal action at the sur
face OF one or both. Darwin "a son Of
the author Of 'The Origin of Species"1
has led in this investigation, the results
OF which are stated in popular form
by Sir Robert Ball in his STORY of the
Heavens"
1t Is shown that the formation OF
tides on the earth causes the effectivs
centers of attraction to be some dis
lance away from the center of the un.
disturbed spheroid, for which reason
the line joining the effective center,
OF gravity in the two bodies forms q
small angle with the line that other
wise would be the one along which the
two bodies would tend TO fall toward
each other, and the movement is cor.
resPondingly different from what il
would be in the undisturbed orbit
This tidal movement accounts for ths
widening out of the distance between
the earth and moon and the lengther,

that our democracy decided on that
foolish enterprise, would be an easy
task or military parade. And now IN
Ahyssinia European army has been
actually destroyed by an African pow
er, whose soldiers, though nc doubt OF
the Semitic blood, are most of them
darker than any great tribe of Asiatics.
The Italians were Of the best blood of
Europe. They belonged TO an army
trained for so years TO meet European
opponents; they carried weapons OF
precision, and they died in proportion
to their numbers most unusual in war
fare; yet they were swept in utter rout
out of the hills, and had Menelek but
pursued, as a European general would
have done, would have been swept out
OF Africa.
The white powers must in future or
ganize their expeditions into Asia or
Africa more carefully; must avail them
selves of science 10 the uttermost; must
choose the very ablest commanders;
must in fact, make war with as much
precaution as If their enemies were
Europeans. They viii not any more

dominant in Asia and Africa-and it
is nothing less than this that they are
attempting-theym must agree within
the range of that enterprise to pull
together. If they are going to vent
their spites on each other, or satisfy
their jealousies, or crafty their am
bitions by secret alliances with the
dark powers, by finding them wesp-
ons or providing them with military
counseiors, the great enterprise in the
end will fail They viii furnish the
very little necessary TO enable the dark
men to beat white men on the field of
battle, and as it is by battle that con-
quests are effected, the conquest Of
Africa or Asia will become impossible,

If they had been confident In their
weapons, as the Abyssinians were, they
would have anticipated the horrible
scene before Adowa, and France, in
stead of Italy, would be weeping over
defeat by brown power. The dark
mon have always been willing to fight;
they are now slowly learning the con.
ditions of success in battle, and, as they
learn them, are becoming much more

| London, Eng, June 4.-Emperor VIII
liams yacht, the Meteor, was first in
the yacht race today.
Meteor sailed her fist race in curl
favorable impression at the outset. The
start was made in almost a calm and
Meteor had the best Of il, but Britannia
was lucky in catching puffs and sue
! ceeded in slipping ahead. Satanita
also passed Meteor a little later. Brit
annia struck a breeze in the search and
soon held a lead of about half a mile.
! Then a moderately easterly wind sprung
up and gave the yachts beat down
the river. While Britannia was work
ing into better wind, Meteor had the
task OF getting past Satanita. Once
clear of the latter, Meteor went away
fast and steadily neared Britannia.
When about ten miles of the course
had been covered the wind softened and
Meteor began TO show her quality and
five miles further, after fourpOrt tacks,
she passed Britannia. These two yachts
were right ahead Of Satanita and Ailsa.
After Meteor had taken the lead near
the More. the wind came free, and with
sheets away, Meteor gained about five
minutes in six miles against the tide.
The return journey opened with a beat
Of six miles and then there was a long
close reach, on both Of which points OF
sailing Meteor increased the gap be-
tween herself and Britannia in wonder
full manner, the beeze being true and
steady and of balloon sail strength,
causing Emperor Williams yacht 10
gain steadily on her competitors. The
yachts had five miles beat to the fin
ish, where Meteor arrived about two
miles ahead of Britannia
The time at the finish was: Meteor,
$3.50; Britannia, 6:47:07; Ailsa, 7:01 :07;
Satanita, 7:04:15.
Experts agree that Meteor is a great
advance on Valkyrie III, being in be-
ter type Of boat altogether, although
it is a disputed point if she could bea,
Valkyrie III, in smooth water and a
soft breeze when going to windward.
But if she can, she is unquestionably
better on the reach than the Dunraven
syndicate yacht and carries her large
sail plan ably, goes through the water
cleanly, has less free board than Brit
ANNA, has a handsomer top then the
Prince Of Wales yacht, and her rating
viii not be very heavy, in spite of her
big sails.
MeteOr's sail plan is looked upon as
being equal to that of Valkyrie III. She
is a phenomenally fast vessel She
has never had her equal in British
waters in a moderate breeze and if she
is as good in breeze the emperor has
found a rara avis.

Refuses 10 Compromise,

Great complaint is made that Addicks
refuses to listen to any proposition to COM
promise in regard to the candidates for
Governor and Congress. 1t may be that
Mr.. Addicks thinks John H. Hoffecker
for Governor and Jonathan S. Willis for
Congress were properly nominated and
are entitled to the support of every fair
minded Republican in the State At any
rate the power to remove either OF them
from the ticket is very problematical In
deed, and would be attended with great
danger. But in all this talk about COM
promise, not one word is said about per-
mitting or allowing Mr.. Addicks himself
my standing in the party whatever. There
has been a studied effort on the part of
the straight Republicans not to allow him
q single representative on the legislative
tickets in any of the counties. The same
course has been pursued in regard to the
delegates to the Convention, Levy Court,
etc There has been no proposition to
change this course. Tho height of their
ambition is to defeat Addicks and drive
While this rancorous course is being pur-
sued, 1t is not surprising that Addicks
should show little disposition to compro-
mise. If the bitter hostility OF certain
men to his candidacy for the Senate should
be withdrawn, he might become much
more tractable. With his cooperation
EVERY county in the State can be carried
and the party be assured of success for
years to come. So long as the cry is that
the party must be defeated to get rid of
Addicks, there must be war in the camp,
and the Democrats will enjoy the fruits
Of office. The great mass of Republicans
are not prepared for this, as Republican
success with him is preferable to contin-
ued defeat without him, The vote of
every Republican will be needed in the
u. s. Senate to modify the present tariff
and hence any act to put John f, Sauls-
bury or some other free trader in the So Il
ate, must be deplored by every honest pre-.
tectionist. We give due warning to all
sore heads and hope to wash our hands of
NIL responsibility in the matter, so no one
can shake his head at Us and say you did
this"
Let truo Republicans, those who want
no office, come to the rescue and silence
the pharisees who are ready to sacrifice the
party In this crisis, as certainly something
will be left worth living for If Addlcks
should be elected to the I. S. Senate

The AdS,s l. a.. 81 r i Z

Mr.. j. Edward Addicks sent tho Street
and Sewer Commissioners q very caustie
letter last evening. He says he would in
vite their attention to the question OF
damages for such unwarranted and illega
interference with the business and char
tered rights Of the Oxy-Hydrogen Com
pany That the law affords full remedy
to persons or corporations thus injured.
The longer this litigation is protracted,
the grea ter the injury to the company and
the greater the damages it can recover.
He says that thousands of dollars would
DO spent for wages in laying the pipes and
getting the gas plant in working order to
supply our citizens with gas.
The cas- has been pending for over five
years and 1t Is high time 1t was settled one
way or the other. The delay in the matter
is unjust to ell the parties interested. Such
procrastination is well calculated to give
rise to the suspicion that the Chancellor
has no disposition to do his duty. He
should decide the case and let Addicks
know he has no right to make gas in our
city or If he has such right, he may pro-
coed at once to put his plant in operation.
The work he would give the laborers in
putting down the pipes, he thinks would
be quite an item these dull times and the
lessening Of his claim for damages for five
years del ay may be another. If there be
damages, those who have prompted this
delay should be made to suffer and not the
city Let every one read his communica-
ton in another column and draw their
OWN conclusions
