of the nebulae, he pointed the instrument
toward a region located to the astrono-
mer in Pos. 312 degrees; Dist. SO min

pointed the Lick instrument at the same

something new. To Burnham on Mount
Hamilton 1t was all space end nothing
more. He watched whole nights and dis
covered 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
Winnecke's companion to Vega. AL
thong h 1t might claim some distant rela-
tionship 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 Prof. Lowell as
to the unfavorable atmospheric conditions
of the region in which the telescope Is
located. Chicago Times Herald.

New Stars Found With the Yerkes Lens
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 Prof. Barnard and their associates
the light-gathering power of the glass
has been proved perfect. 1t far surpasses
the thirty six-inch lens of the Lick Oh.
servatory, and Prof. 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
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 pen etrat-
ed. Most of the objects connected with
the nebula in Lyra, the great cluster in
Hercules, and the dumb bell nebuIa have
yielded up their secrets in the past only
through the agency of the Photographic

THE CABINET TO DISCUSS 1T.
Then McKenna Will Report on Section ~
of the Dingley Bill.

A special to the New York Herald from
Washington says:
President Mckinley and the entire
membership of the cabinet will probably
be consulted before Attorney General Nc
Kenna announces his opinion as to the
construction to be placed on section 20 Of
the Dingley bill, imposing discriminating
duties.
The attorney general had expected to
announce his report this week, but now
the understanding is that it is to be held
back until next week, and in the mean
time the President will cut short his out
ing and ret urn to Washington. 1t is
probable that the question will be the
subject of general exchange of views at
a meeting of the cabinet before the opin-
ion is written. The questions involved
are SO important that all the light posi-
BILE is to be thrown on them before the
administration is committed to a con-
struction which might demoralize the en-
tire foreign commerce of the country and
which involves matter of about $50, 0O0,-
900 per year In customs revenue, accord
ing to the calculations of the officials of
the treasury department.
, This calculation Is made on the basis
of last years imports, and on the assump-
tion that the imports under the discrimi-
mating duty would be practically the
same in value and would come in ships of
the same nationalities. British ships
bringing goods from other countries than
British territories in Europe would be
the heaviest sufferers, and it is expected
that one result of the imposition of this
duty would be the transfer of many Brit
ish ships to the flags of nations having
more favorable treaties with the United
States
Aside from the practical certainty that
the imposition of the discriminating duty
would lead to retaliation and discrimina
tlon against American ships by other
nations there is reason to believe that the
effect would be directly injurious to the
United States in other ways.
The general assumption is that on ac-
count of the imposition of these duties on
goods coming into the United States
through contiguous country the trans
continental roads of the United States
would be benefited at the expense of the
Canadian Pacific road, but when it is
taken into consideration that the steam
ship connections of most of these roads
would be unfavorably affected, it appears
that about the only road which would
gain any decided advantage would be
the Southern Pacific, which, having con-
nection with the American line Of steam
ships from San Francisco, would have
the advantage of discrimination in favor
OF its steamship connection, as well as
against its Canadian rival.
About the only cities that would gain
any decided advantage would DO Halifax
and st. John, N. B., as.the effect of the
discriminating duty on goods brought
into the United States over the Canadian
Pacific would tend to break up the
transit of such goods through New Eng
land to the seaboard and divert this
traffic to these ports in British territory.

BELIEVE THEY ARE BUNCOED.
Too Much Is Paid for Burying Dogs,
II Is Said.

The board of health was forced to the
conclusion last night that 1T is being
worked by the festive small boy and the
dead dog deal.
By the dead dog deal the small boy
is allowed 80 cents through the grac-
iousness of the board of health for
every dog he buries. He reports the
extinct canine to a policeman, the po-
liceman tells him to bury it and when
he comes back and crosses his breast
three times that he has buried the dog
he is given an order which Chief Rob-
ing will honor for fifty cents. In
four months the chief has in this way
expended $3.50, which represents the
interment of fifty-one dogs. This is out
of reason the board believed and with
out much hesitancy declared its con-
viction that some of those dogs were
buried divers times and that policemen
would do we'll to investigate these cas-
es closer before issuing an order. Com
plant was also entered against the
street railway company for its neglect
in burying animals killed by their cars.
