MORNING sHPrHa1BnR Il: 1924

In all the congressional districts in
creased Republican majorities are look
ed for. Speaker Thomas b. Reed Of the
First district will probably be honored
with the largest majority he has ever
received. and it is expected that many
Democratic ballots will be cast for him.
His Democratic opponent, e. w. Staples,
has not conducted very thorough can
VaSS.
In the Second district the majority for
Hon. Nelson Dingley will probably be
increased several thousand. Hon. Seth
Milliken of Belfast, in the Third district,
Republican, is expected to obtain ma
jority of over 10000. Two years ago it
was 1900. In the last election Charles
H. Boutelle, Republican, had majority
of a little over 5000 in the Fourth dis
trict. There is a representative contest
in Bangor which may have some effect
on his vote tomorrow, but it is thought
that many Democrats will declare for
him and increase his lead. 1t is unlikely
that more than ten Democrats will be
elected to the house of representatives.
and only half that number are regarded
as sure of success. In Bangor and Bid
deford the contests over representa-
tives are hot and the result is very
doubtful. 1t is not expected that a
single Democrat will secure seat in

A Timely Rescue

BOSTON, Sept 13.-One of the disas-
ters of the recent northeasterly gale
which swept along this coast for twen-
ty-four hours, was reported this morn
ing on the arrival here of the Glocester
fishing schooner Siegfried, Captain AL
den Geel, from the South channel fish
ing grounds, with crew of ten men
of the Gloucester fishing schooner Silver
Dart Captain Alfred Spur, as passen-
gers. The Silver Dart was disabled a
mile and quarter north northeast from
Highland light, Cape Cod, when the
Siegfried rescued the crew from the
vessel which was going ashore. When
off Cape Cod, the Silver Dart ran into
gale which blew out the foresail and
the fore rigging, and later snapped off
the mainmast close to the deck. 1t
was just at the time that the crew saw
destruction for the vessel and them
selves in the heavy sea which was run
ming. that the rescue came.

The L;nht of the StafS

Calico made a map of eighty new
stars, which he had discovered in the
constellation of Orion's belt and the
Sword and since then astronomer
after astronomer as is well known, has
added various groups and galaxies to
the two or three thousand conspicuous
stars of the first six magnitudes which
can always be seen with the naked eye.
1t is curious and not complimentary to
the good sense Of mankind that those
stars should have been looked upon as
merely intended to spangle the sky and
give light at night. AS lamps, they were
always a failure. Sixty times the total
starlight on the clearest night would not
equal the illumination given by the
moon and thirtythree million times
their radiance would be required to
equal sunlight. Yet the stars which are
seen well by a powerful telescope are
now known to be only an insignificant
proportion of those actually existing in
side visible space"
Telescope photography, as practiced,
today in all the observatorieS, reveals,
in almost every apparently blank re-
gion of the celestial sphere, countless
new and distant worlds, lying far be-
yond all methods of moral computation
and measurement The only foot rule
with which we can at all estimate the
scale Of distances in the visible uni
verse" is light This travels along the
ether at the rate of 10000 miles, sec
Ond, so that the ray which we receive
from the sun left his surface eight min
utes befor 1t reached our eyes. By in
genious processes based on complex
arithmetic, astronomers have determin-
ed the distance of about eighty stars,
and the nearest of all of them to our sys-
tenn is Alpha Centauri. The radiance of
this star takes, however about four
years to reach human vision, while that
which we perceive from Alpha Tauri,
or Aldebaron, as it is more popularity
known, was projected from its glittering
source twenty-seven years ago, and
most of those seen deeper in the night
sky are so far off that their present
light left them some 800 or 400 years
back. Many are today visible whose
beams have travelled to our gaze only
after a lapse of thousands of years,
and there must be radiant streams now
on their way from heavenly bodies in
the empyrean which will only reach the
eyes Of our very far off posterity.-New

HE DOESN'T HATE THE IRISH
Ii Hung Chang Says That He Was
Misunderstood
The Chinese Viceroy's Last Day In Americ
Will Be . Busy One-ie Sails
for Home Today

VANCOUVER, B. c., Sept. 13.-Amid
the deafening noise of Chinese musical
instruments, Ii Hung Changs special
train pulled up at the depot promptly
at II o'clock. At the station were assem-
bled 5000 people, including members of
the Chinese delegations from San Fran
cisco, Portland, Seattle, Victoria and
other coast cities. AS the viceroy STEP
ped from the private car Earnscliffe he
was received by General Superintend-
ent Abbott of the Canadian Pacific
Mayor Collins and other citizens, and
deputation of Chinese, headed by a
Chinese mandarin from Pekin bear
ing dispatches who saluted and pre-
sented him with addresses of welcome
The viceroy was also saluted by guard
of honor of marines from H. M. S. Co.
mus. A procession was then formed,
headed by the City band and the ma
rines.
Those in the viceroy's carriage, which
was drawn by four white horses, were
the viceroys son, DR.. Horsey, represen-
tative of the Canadian government, and
General Superintendent Abbott. There
were some fifteen other carriages, filled
with members of the suite and promi-
nent Chinese. At the approach to the
wharf a handsome triumphal arch had
been erected by local Chinese, and
through it he procession passed. Ii
was carried in a sedan chair up the
gangway of the steamship Empress of
China, and as he landed on the deck the
guns of the Comus fired salute and

and all the vessels in port having bunt-

customary nap, and at $3.50 o'clock was
driven around Stanley park accompa-
MED by his suite and the Chinese dele
gates. He was shown the big trees in the
park and expressed his wonder at them.
On his return he had tea and received
a Chinese delegation and then retired
early, stating that he was fatigued and
wanted a good rest before tomorrow.
The viceroy has busy day ahead, hav-
ing made appointments to visit the
board of trade at $50 a. M, the city
council at 8, Lieutenant Governor Dewd-
ney at 10 a. M, while interviews with
the Chinese deputations will fill up the
time till the departure of the steamer
in the afternoon.
The viceroy maintains his reputa-
tion for interviewing people, rather than
being interviewed, and the Associated
Press reporter was only able to ask a
few questions in the brief interview ac-
corded. He ascertained that the remark
attributed to Ii of having stated that
the Chinese were better than the Irish
was the result of a misunderstanding,
Ii having made joke in answering a
question of an interviewer, which was
misunderstood by him.
HE WON'T RESIGN
REVELSTOKE, B. c., Sept. 13-Ll
Hung Chang, when asked during his
stay here yesterday: ''Is the statement
true that on your return to China you
will resign your high Officer"
1T is not true" replied the viceroy.

I expect to pursue my work for China s

AN ADDRESS ISSUED.
NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-The Demo-
cratic Honest Money league of America
has issued an address to Americans
throughout the country, of which the
following is the substance:
A perilous situation confronts our
country. A. bold, wicked conspiracy,
ably organized, thoroughly equipped
and ingeniously operated, has succeed
ed in securing deep foothold among our
people. So well has it's true purpose
been disguised that many are contribut-
ing blindly the sympathy and force
necessary to its success, to the irrepar-
able injury of themselves and their fell
low citizens. 1t is time for honest, pa
triotic citizens to counsel together and
take position in defense of their coun-
try.
This conspiracy against our people
was born of selfish greed and propagated
by the men and interests that alone are
to benefit by it's success, the silver pro-
ducers and speculators of this and other
countries, their agents and attorneys,
who wish forced market for their
wares at enormous profits 1t was craft
lily planned and has been carefully han
died for some years, and every element
and condition for it's success have been
seduced to its support.
Among the elements enlisted in behalf
OF this scheme of public robbery are
