New Stars Found.

The great Yerkes telescope has un-
masked hitherto unseen worlds. The
great lens has been focused into space,
and to the great joy of Director Hale
and Professor Barnard and their asso-
ciates the light gathering power of the
glass has been proved perfect. 1t far
surpasses the thirty ski lens of the
Lick Observatory, and Professor Burn
ham, who is acquainted with all the
great telescopes in this country and
abroad, has given it as his opinion that
the Yerkes lens is the most powerful
of all.
The wonderfully constructed lens has
light gathering powers that pierce far
into the unknown, and even the hazy
mists of the nebulae have been pene-
trated. Most objects connected with
the nebula in Lyra, the great cluster
of Hercules, and the dumb-bell nebula
have yielded up their secrets in the past
only through the agency Of the photo
graphic plates. Professor Barnard had
seen these only family at Mount Ham
ilton At Lake Geneva he has been
able to view them with unusual dis
tinctness After Professor Barnard had
swept the sky in the region of the
nebulae, he pointed the instrument to-
ward a region located to the astronomer
in Pos. 312 degrees: Dist. 50 minutes.
Professor Burnham had frequently
pointed the Lick instrument at the
same spot with the expectation of find
ing something new. To Burnham on
Mount Hamilton it was all space and
nothing more. He watched whole
nights and discovered nothing He
swung the giant tube toward the re-
gion, and the first discovery at the
Yerkes Observatory was registered on
the dial near the dome. The unknown
wanderer was found near Winnecke's s
companion to Vega. Although it might
claim some distant relationship to We
gas companion it is too far away to
be considered as physically connected
with the luninary, and may have an
orbit of it's own As Vega has been
one of the best observed bodies of the
heavenly wanderers, the discovery
speaks volumes for the new lens. It
also disproves the theory of Pro-
fessor Lowell as to the unfavorable
atmospheric conditions of the region
in. which the telescope is located. Chi

There is nothing that so calls for the
closest investigation into ways and
means, as that attempt of the Illi-
nois mine owners to put Chinese labor
in the mines of that state. These
heathens are outlawed under our laws,
not allowed to come into the country,
declared Ineligible to residence, are be-
ported when found here contrary to
law, and yet it is determined to put
thousands of them to work and steal
the bread out of the mouths of those
resident in the country. 1t
puts premium on smuggling
them into the country and should be
met with the prohibitions of the ma
tional government on it's very thres-
hold. No more dangerous movement to
the peace and security of the laboring
classes could be made. 1t should stop
right where it is. The attempt to put
that decree in force by arms, will be
met with armed resistance, and in the
end it will lead to a race war that will
sweep every leprous son of a cue off
the American continent.

President Mckinley is said to have
given assurance to his immediate
friends that he will soon publicly an
nounCe a policy that will be acceptable
to the friends of Cuba. 1t is sincerely
to be hoped that this is true for there
has been a great dissatisfaction all
over the country with the dilatoriness
of the government in assuming some
positive ground more favorable to the
sister republic, struggling to put her
self on her feet in Cuba. This feeling
is also intensified by a strong resent
ment of the cruelties and indlgnities
that Spain has sanctioned there. The
people have been very patient on this
side the gulf, but they wait anxiously
the action at Washington that assures
them that Cuba has not been utterly
fOrsaken by the United States govern
ment.
