The SUMS ECliuSe.

st. Louis, Aug. "A partial eclipse
OF the sun was observed here this fore
noon. Ira X. Hicks, an astronomer.
said: 1T was Il peculiarly beautiful
exhibition, my telescope showing vio-
lent perturbations. To the southwest
appeared an enormous spot with a
black chasm in Its center into which.
like nodding plumes, waves of fire
seemed to fall. Toward the northeast
of the giant spot and just above the
line of the moons pathway were two
smaller spots of similar description.
These indicated unusual activity in the
sun due to season of storms on that
planet. The earth always feels the
effect of extraordinary sun perturba.
tions, and l predict we shall have
storms and electrical displays as the re-
suit of the solar disturbance.

MEASURES OF RETALIATION.
San Francisco Outftters will Appeal to
the Government.

the government.
San Francisco, Aug. 3.-Merchants
of this city. who have profited by the
Clondyke excitement are considering
seriously the advisability of commune
eating with the treasury department in
Washington and asking for retaliatory
measures against the new Canadian
tariff. 1t has been estimated by many
of them that nearly $1,000, 900 have
been expended within the last few
weeks in this city in the purchase of
supplies and outfits for the Yukon
mines.
Since the news was published that
the Canadian government had imposed
a high protective duty on all goods
coming across the border and would
send force Of mounted police to col
lect the duty there has been a large
falling off in purchases. No definite
plan has yet been decided upon by the
projectors, except that they contem-
plate holding meeting with view of
securing the assistance Of the chamber
of commerce and board of trade in fur.
thering the movement. 1t is thought
that the popular sentiment throughout
the country will result in substantial
assistance from other states and steps
will be taken as soon as a temporary
organization is effected to have the
merchants of Portland, Seattle and Ia,
coma unite in the project.

Scottdale, Pa, Aug. 3.-Coroner
Owens today held an inquest on the re-
mains of William Cummings, the nom
union mill worker who was killed last
night in quarrel with strikers. A
large number of witnesses were ex-
amined, but the only one who gave
positive testimony was Constable Long
necker, who testified that he was stand
ing within few feet Of the parties
when the shooting took place, and
plainly saw the flash from the revolver
in the hands of William G. Hubbs.
The jury found Hubbs guilty, and he
was arrested. Hubbs was roller in
the employ Of the Scottdale Iron q
Steel Company before the strike. and is
one of the best known men in town.
While opinions differ as to the effect OF
Cummings death, it is believed that
the trouble last night will end the riot
ing and bloodshed, and the strikers
will be more moderate in their actions.
The town tonight is quiet.

Cigarettes on the Rise.

New York, Aug. 4.-Cigarette man.
ufacturers have decided upon an in
crease in the price of cigarettes. A
letter OF notification is now going
through the mails. The advance is
about 10 per cent on the whole list
from Turkish to common brands.
Turkish cigarettes that were sold from
81 to $l7 will now cost the dealer
from 1866 to SEQ. 30, according to the
brand. Louisiana perique advances
from 1915 and 1915 to $6.15 and
$3.50 Brands of domestic make
which dealers bought for $3.SO per
1000 have been increased in price to
81. TO- The advance is ascribed by the
manufacturers to the increase in the
internal revenue law.

LAKE IN AlASk q.
1t Contains Coal Oil in an Unlimited
Quantity.

San Francisco, Aug. Awhile the
whole world is excited over the gold
discoveries in the North, sight has
been lost of another discovery that
promises to be of great value in the
development of that section.
Some months ago lake Of almost
pure petroleum was discovered and
samples sent TO Seattle for analysis.
The assayer's report on these has just
been made public, and the find is re-
ported to be of incalculable richness.
A company has been formed in Seattle
to handle the product, and travellers
from there say that the company in
tends to put it on the Alaskan market
at once.
The lake is of unknown depth, sew
eral miles wide and five or six in
length. and the quality of the petrol
cum is said to be of the finest. 1t is
fed by springs and the hills surround
ing it are said to be rich in coal and
asphalt. The lake is only two miles
from the ocean, so that the difficult
ties of transportation are reduced to Il
minimum. 1t is the intention of the
owners of the lake to take its product
right into the mining camps of North
ern Alaska wherever the waterways
will permit.

ELDER ON THE OCEAN.
Tho Portland Steamer Clears fof tho
New Eldorado.

Tho Portland SCSH"cA
New Eldorado.
Astoria. Or. Aug. ga 4:15 o'clock
this morning, the o. r. q N. steamer
Elder, with 1888 passengers from Port
land and 25 from Astoria, bound for
the Clondyke, slowly left her dock, and,
in the dim light OF the early DAY. set
her nose towards the far north, the land
of promise to the gOldhunters.
Hundreds were on the docks even at
that hour, and every passenger was on
deck to bid last farewell to friends
and civilization. AS the steamer got
under way, mighty shout was given
bv those on shore, which echoed from
the distant hills and was answered by
those on board. Last words of warning
and advice were spoken, and soon the
big ship was but shadow in the dis
lance.
Several joined the ship here at the
last moment. One man traded dla-
mond and $500 gold watch for another's
outfit; and one man bought half in
terest in the outfit of another whose
partner left him, and man from Port
land, who jumped on the steamer at
the last moment, found an outfit here
all packed, which the person who Or
dered it failed to call for. Without
question, he paid the invoice price and
had it loaded on the steamer.
During the day, the passengers OF the
steamer were entertained by the citi-
zens, and jolly time was had while
the ships machinery, which was slight
" damamged on the trip down the
river, was repaired.

MASSACRED By NATIVES.
Tragic Fate OF Party OF Australian
Go1dseekers.

Vancouver, B. c., Aug. 4.-The
steamship Miowera, from Sydney.
brings information that news OF still
another massacre has been received at
Sydney. Not long ago number OF
Australia's army Of unemployed were
attracted by stories Of fabulous gold
panning at Papua and other interior
New Guinea points. Their ranks have
been terribly thinned by murder, star
walton and fatal swamp fevers. 10
make matters worse, every native who
helped white was marked for the
tomahawk.
The remnant of these white pioneers
went to Vanapa for final effort to
make their fortunes Their stores gave
out and for months they lived on
"damper" and tea. Natives in the vi
cinity claimed to be ill-treated by the
government in the way of scant stores,
and decided to teach the government a
lesson by killing all the whites within
reach. The whites were raided at
night and put to death with toma-
hawks, being easy victims. After long
suffering they were weak and enact
ated, and could not defend themselves.
Many massacres had occurred in the
same place previously, but the govern
ment has never attempted to punish
the murderers.
Later news confirms the massacres
which occurred So miles from Port
Moresby. The entire settlement OF ma
tives and whites had their heads split
open by a large band of savages. The
government has sent large body OF
military police to surround the natives
and shoot if necessary. Wholesale ar
rests will be made. The natives will
be brought back manacled in the hold
of steamer chartered for the purpose.

Telegraph.
New York, Aug. "A special to the
World from London says: Marconi,
inventor of the wireless telegraph"
has just reached Soudan, where trial
of the invention will be made. In an
interview Marconi said: 1.-The greatest
distance which we have been able to
transmit messages by telegraph with
out wires is ~ miles, but that by no
means is the limit OF the instruments.
1t simply signifies that existing appli-
ances are not perfect. At Spezzia

Dor without difficulty, and with abso-
lutte accuracy. 1t was done before the

THE SEAL CONFERENCE
A Diplomatic Triumph for the
United States.
WILL MEET LATE IN OCTOBER
Permanent Agreement will Probably
BE Reached-A London
Papers Opinion.

Papers Opinion.
London, Aug. 3.-Much satisfaction
is expressed in official and mercantile
circles at the prospective settlement Of
the seal question by aid Of the Wash
ington conference. especially as such
an arrangement will remove a cause of
hot discussion between the United
States and England. Although at the
outset of Mr.. Fosters journey diplo-
mats and newspapers here ridiculed
the idea that there was anything nee
esary to be done, Ambassador Hay and
Mr.. Foster have completely changed
this view, and Great Britain is finally
doing everything possible to meet the
demand of the United States. Doubt
less this is partly owing to the support
Mr.. Fosters ideas received from Rus
and Mr.. Davies have all along favored
conciliatory attitudes toward the pro-
posals of the United States.
The conference will meet on the
third or fourth week in October, the
exact date being left to be determined
by the arrival of the British experts
from the sealing grounds. Great Brit
ain will be represented by Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the ambassador, and Pro-
fessor Darcy Thompson. The United
States will probably be represented by
John W. Foster and Japan by the Jap
anese minister at Washington; Russia
by committee headed by DR.. Matens,
professor of international law at the
university of St. Petersburg. who was
delegated by Russia to hold the pour
parles with Mr.. Foster. Canada will
be represented by Sir Wilfred Laurier
and Mr.. Davies.
The conference will dicuss the whole
question as raised by the United States,
will draft scheme OF protection for
the seals, with details for carrying out
the same, and will decide all open
claims. Its report will be a referen-
dunn, but, rs Russia and Japan are en-
tirely favorable to the pretensions of
the United States, and as Great Brit
ain in Indifferent so long as Canada is
satisfied, the conference may be said to
be Il diplomatic triumph for the United
States, and q personal triumph for
Mr.. Foster. Unless it results in a
divided report, which is not expected,
the governments concerned will imme-
diatelv embody the scheme in a perma-
nent agreement in the form of refer
endum, so that it can be executed in
the season of 1898.
st. James's Gazette, referring to the
conference, says: "Americans will
consider another conference as climb
down for the British, and not unnat-
urally. Sherman's dispatch will be
regarded as the direct cause. The
United States makes a quite unwar.
rantable demand. We ignore it. The
American state department sends u
menacing and insulting dispatch. We
promptly yield. 1t is the Venezuelan
business and Cleveland message once
again, and once again it will confirm
the American political mind in the
conviction that John Bull always
knuckles down when bullied and
threatened. Our statesmen are prepar-
ing future disaster for both countries
by carelessly encouraging this danger.

Five Violent Deaths.

Terre Haute, Ind, Aug. 3.-This has

and decided to ask the manufacturer
for the restoration within 60 days of
the 121a per cent cut in their wage S

New York. Aug. 3.-The general
strike of the pantsmakers' union, a
branch OF the socialist trades alliance,
went into effect today in $50 shops in
Greater New York. The strikers are
enthusiastic, and believe this effort on
their part will end the sweating sys-
tenn and restore the old rate of wages.
Under the present system they are able
to make only $3.50 for weeks work.
Under the old schedule, which they
want restored, the operators made from
$40 to $l2 week. There are nearly
5000 operators, and, in consequence Of
the strike, 5000 finishers are idle.
