An Effort Is tG Be Made to Even /
ITu.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-Chairman Caldwell, of
the Western Passenger association, has issued
a call for meeting of the Chicago-St Paul
lines to be held in this city on Feb IL. he
object OF the meeting is to be the settlement
OF the division of the traffic between Chi
cago and Minneapolis and st. Paul. Ever since
the roads between these cities agreed on a
physical poor the best manner i'll which to
control their traffic, they have been having
great trouble over the percentages upon which
the business is divided The Albert Lea
route and the Wisconsin Central roads have
for long time been behind in their per-
centages, and the chairman some time since
issued an order to the effect that until further
orders the comfortable traffic between Chicago
and St. Paul should be routed over these two
lines Up to date however, he has not sue
ceeded in getting the two lines evened up
The meeting will endeavor to find some way
out Of the trouble, and it is likely that the
two lines will be content with smaller per-
centage after their arrears have been settled

LACKED THE BACKBONE.
COunctlmen Found Who'll Go Back
on Their Promises

The caucus Of the Republican councilmen,
held yesterday afternoon in the mayors Of
flee, decided to allow Supt. Macaulay several
trouble in getting the members together,
Aldermen Kenny, Larsen, Lindahl and Kali
dunski not being at all anxious to join with
ever, were secured, the absent ones being
Aldermen Bigelow, Donahower and Kaldun-
ski, and Assemblyman Dix. After some dis
cussion, it was decided to adjourn to meet
at the call of the chairman Assemblyman
Thompson. Those who have been seeking to
depose Macaulay claim to have twelve votes,
which is one more than they need to do
the work. In order that there may be no
mistake and to prevent any backsiding, it
was decided to put off the decapitaton OF
Macaulay until the council caucus is called
for the selection of a city attorney. This
it is understood, will be called the latter part
of next week.

ALLEGED BANK SWINDLER.
Capture of Sir Harry We ,twOOd Coop
er, nj. D., at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. LIN the per-
son of Sir Harry Westwood Cooper, NJ D.,
now confined in the city prison, Chief of
Police Lees believes that he has behind
the bars one of the most notorious bank
swindlers who ever operated in this or any
other country, despite the fact that he is
under thirty years of age. he was arrested
at the Langham Hotel and dispatch of
inquiry as to Cooper was sent to the Bank
ers Protective Association and there came
back the reply that he was noted swind-
Ter and was wanted by the association for
fraudulent work done in the East Soon
after Coopers arrest his room at the Lang
ham was searched by the detectives and
in his trunk were found a lot of certified
checks and drafts which the police believe
to be bogus. Cooper claimed that he was a
nephew to the late Sir Ashley Cooper. sur
geon to Queen Victoria, who, he said, had
died six months before, and that he had
come into Sir AstleyS title and succeeded to
his vast estate in Australia with a present
value of 5000, 600. Having created the de-
sired impression by his talk of titles and
and estates, and possessions, the police say
that Cooper began his fraudulent work, and
they claim that before he was caught he
had succeeded in victimiZng q number Of
people. 1t was but one or two DAYS ago
that Cooper, for the purpose. as is claimed
of assuring John p. Gallagher, the pro-
prietor of the Langham of his unstinted
financial resources, gave into Gallagher's
hands a draft on a Chicago bank for $S5-
000 This draft is now in the possession of
the police and they confidently assert that
they will prove it to be worthless

THE YERKES TELESCOPE.
Its Powerful Lens Tested and Found
to Be of Wonderful Penetration.

CHICAGO, Sept 1.-The great Yerkes
telescope has unmashcd hitherto unseen
worlds. The great lens has been focused
irto space, and to the great joy of Director
Hale and Professor Barnard, and their as
sociates. the light gathering power of the
glass has been proved perfect. 1t far sur
passes the thirty-six- Inch lens of the Lick
Observatory, and Professor Burnham, 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 peer
of ALL The wonderfully constructed lens
has light gathering powers that pierce far
into the unknown, and even the hazy mists
or the nebulae have been penetrated. Most
of the objects connected with the nebula in
Lyra, the great cluster in Hercules and the
dumb.bell nebula have yielded up their Sc
crets in the past only through the agency
of the Photographic plates. Professor
Barnard had seen these only family at
Mount Hamilton. 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 toward a region
located to the astronomer in Pos. 3l2 de-
grees; Dis. SO minutes. Professor Burnham
had frequently pointed the Lick instrument
at the same spot with the expectation of
finding something new. To Burnham on
Mount Hamilton 1T was all space and moth
ing more. He watched whole nights and
discovered nothing. He swung the giant
tube toward the region and the first dis
covery at the Yerkes Observatory was
registered on the dial near the dome The
unknown wanderer was found near Win
necke's companion to Vega. Although it
might claim some distant relationship to
Vegas companion it is too far away to be
considered as physically connected with the
luminary and may have an orbit of its
own AS Vega has been one of the best
observed bodies of the heavenly wanderers
the discovery speaks volumes for the new
lens. 1t also disproves the theory of Pro-
fessor Lowell as to the unfavorable atmos-
pheric conditions of the region in which the
telescope is located.
The instrument, so auspiciously brought
into the field of science, will be dedicated
Oct q and %. In connection with the
formal exercises a series of conferences on
astronomical subjects will be held at the
observatory and at the University of Chi
cago. The formal presentation OF the OBJ
servatory to the university by Mr.. Yerkes
will take place at 1870 o'clock I'm the fore
noon. The principal orator for the occasion
has not yet been appointed. In the evening
a reception will be given to Mr.. and Mrs
Yerkes and TO tho visiting men of science.

THAT MODERN SODOM."
Chicago and Its People Scored by a
Factory Inspector.

DETROIT. Mich. Sept I.-To-day's ses-
sion of the convention of Factory Inspec-
tors of America was largely devoted to dis
cussion of the subject of child labor. A
paper on the subject by Miss Kelly, the
deposed chief of Illinois inspectors. was
read by Mrs. Green, of that State. She ad-
vocated the compulsory education of chill
dren under twelve years OF age. Inspector
Mayo, of Minnesota, in the course OF his
remarks reflected rather severely on Chi
cago and succeeded in extracting a pro-
test from the Illinois delegates Take
that modern Sodom on the foot of Lake
Michigan. for instance. he said Every
vile and vicious plant in the garden of hui
mainly is nurtured there and each spring
the worst OF them, l was about to say, are
transplanted down in Springfield TO consti-
tute the State Legislature. Now, these men
can be bought by a corporation and the
corporations want child labor. How can
we expect good laws from such men?"
Chief O'Leary, of New York, offered res
olutions TO be presented TO the various
United States senators and ether officials
stating that the factory inspectors recog-
nize the only effectual remedy for sweat
shops and other like evils in this country

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The triumph of
McLaurin, in the South Carolina primary
election for United States senator is re-
garded here as an event of great impor-
tance, and as being significant Of the de-
velopment of protection sentiment in the
South. Students of the Southern situation
have appreciated the mighty economic
change that has been going on in that sec
ton for several years, but the general pub
lie has been slow to comprehend the facts.
1t takes demonstration in the open, like
the success of McLaurin, to make an i'm
preston. McLaurin was one of group of
Southern senators who took a position last
session for the protection of local interests,
and the people of his State have Endorsed
his stand overwhelmingly. McLaurin did
not vote for the Republican tariff bill as
a whole, but he came out for duties on cot
ton, rice and other South Carolina prod
ucts, in doing which he called down on
himself the wrath of free-trade journals
and orators, but his constituents have
backed him up. OF the several senatorial
candidates in South Carol ma, McLaur. n he d
the most pronounced protection leanings.
The South is swinging slowly but surely to
protection.
