MEASURING THE EARTH.

Called Into Use b! Astronomers.
 The longest distance ever encom- passed by the human vision, so far as. the records go, is 1S3 miles. between the Uncompahgre peak in Colorado and Mount Ellen, in Utah. This feat was accomplished by the surveyors cf the United States coast and geodetio survey, who are now engaged, in COL junction with representatives of other nations, in making new measure nent of the earth, says the Philadelphia Record.
 The observers on the Pacific coast have been able to signal from Mount Shasta to Mount Helena. a distance Of I9O miles. but have never been able to get a response. Between the two other peaks communication has been continE- ous for an hour or more on several oe- casions.
 The Uncompahgre is 14.3o0 feet in height. while Mount Ellen is 13.400.
 The longest distance that the human eye ever reached until this record was made was between AIgicrs and Spain. 1GS miles.
 Ic Ol tIic CtI]tl II. W IiitD fS now going oh, is no simple task. The width of the ocean can only be ascer- tained by astronomical observations The observers at Greenwich and at Washington note each night the exact moment of the rising of certain stars. and then. by mathematical calcula- tions, turn the difference in time into distance. This is corrected and cor roborated by other observations upon other stars, and by series of experi- ments, which furnish an average that is approximately accurate.
 The difference is seldom more than a small fraction of second. and is att tributed to atmospheric phenomena.
 The Pacific ocean is measured in {. similar manner by joint observations with the Lick telescope, in California, and that of the Imperial university of Japan, at Tokio.

LOS ANGELES OVATION TO
 CALIFORNIA; NEXT GOVERNOR

vast audience on the main floor and the double tier of galleries arose and joined in the acclaim. AS Henry T. Gage walked across the platform to take the place assigned to him among the repre- sentative Republicans on the stage, the assemblage again arose and continued cheering for several minutes When Luther H. Brown, chairman of the rati- fcation committee, called the audience to attention he mentioned the name of Henry T. Gage, and this was the signal for another demonstration that even surpassed all the preceding manifesto tions of enthusiasm.
 Assembled on the platform were ex- Governor H. H. Markham; Truman Reeves, Republican candidate for State Treasurer; R. J. Waters. candidate for Congress-; N. Blackstock, nominee for Railroad Commissioner; Frank F. Davis, and many other eminent Repub- licans who commented on the brilliant inauguration of the campaign, and pre- dicted complete success for the Repub- lican State ticket. Each had in times gone by seen some remarkable exhibi- tions of party zeal and confidence, but all said that the scenes of enthusiasm and party spirit then being enacted had never been surpassed in political cam .paign in this State.

gan. the committee found it necessary to turn back the throng of visitors.
 Celebrated as this city Is for great political demonstrations, 1t never saw anything to surpass the tremendous enthusiasm and remarkable outpouring of the masses tonight Early in the evening special excursion trains bring ing thousands of visitors and partici- pants began to arrive The people to swell the resident throng came from Riverside, Redlands, San Bernardino, Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Santa Ana, Orange and other places. Before night the streets were densely packed. Marching clubs, headed by bands of music, added to the interest
 The main procession was slow in or ganizing, but the magnificent display of fireworks and the strains of pat riotic music compensated for the delay. The column, headed by Henry T. Gage and escorts in carriages, moved along Spring street to Sixth, to Main, to First street, along First street, to Broadway and thence to the pavilion.
 On either side the streets were dense- ly damned with cheering spectators, and from many buildings there were beautiful displays of illuminated en- thusiasm and a generous offering of pyrotechnics. The Democratic Herald,

The Columbia Club the First Ward Club, the Young Mems Republican League, the Army and Navy Republican League, Fl Do- rado Club of Mexicans led by a Mexi- can band, the Santa Ana Republican Club and other organizations joined the column and were cheered all along the line from start to finish.
 The appearance of the nominee for Governor was always the signal for a storm of applause, and the clapping of hands could be heard a mile away.
 The notices on the transparent ban ners called out ringing cheers of appro- val. The sentiment Keep the Philip pine" everywhere exc ted cheers. 'The Republican Party Will Build the Mica raguan Canal' was another sentiment that evoked a cheering response from the multitude.
 AS the marching clubs and the great stream of spectators entered the pavil- ion the scene was inspiring to the high est degree. The demonstrations of ap- plause followed each other in such swift succession and grew in such intensity with each succeeding outburst that the

everybody in Southern California, and every one here knows Henry T. Gage. Call it magnetism, individual warmth or any other name, it amounts to this, that men of every shade of political opinion entertain sincere friendship and high regard for Henry T. Gage as a man among men.
 The band of the Seventh Regiment played inspiring patriotic airs at the station. The American flag fioated in the gentle breeze. The throngs of people cheered the music and saluted the colors as the column formed to march to the Hollenbeck Hotel. AS the procession moved along Fifth and Spring streets to the hotel it was ob- served that the city was beautifully dressed in flags and streamers Tn honor of the homecoming of a worthy citi- zen who had been called by the good people to meet a great responsibility.
 All along the route tributes of re- spect were paid to the nominee and those who escorted him. The culminat- ing crush came at the Hollenbeck, where Mr. Gage stood for nearly two hours receiving the congratulations of the callers.

 Long before the time fixed for the arrival of the train bearing the distin- guished guest and his party crowds be- gan to gather in and about the Arcade Station of the Southern Pacific Rail road. These were rapidly increased. until the whole surrounding space was one mass of surging humanity, eager to greet~the- man selected by the State convention at Sacramento to lead the Republican forces to victory. While waiting for the incoming train the crowd was entertained by the Seventh Regiment band playing inspiring airs. During the intervals some one would start patriotic song. in which all joined. The summer attire of the many ladies present, together with the un- dulating sea of highly colored sun shades waving over the immense con- course, gave to the scene an air of brightness indicative of the hearty wei come awaiting the favorite son of the sunny south.
 One long and two short blasts of the whistle signaled the near approach of the train. Then followed a general ringing of bells and blowing of whistles. As the train rolled into the depot great rush was made by the throng, eager to get a glance at the popular man. Catching sight of the nominee as he was about to alight from the coach the multitude in front sent up mighty shout of1welcome. The cheer was taken up again and again by the surrounding mass until it was carried far beyond the confines Of the station.
 Owing to the density of the throng and the eager desire of the people to grasp the hand of the leader, it was some time before MT. Gage, guided by his escorts, could reach the line of waiting carriages. The salutations. were: Glad to see you, Henry"

' OS ANGELES, Sept. S.-Countless
 thousands of people thronged the L. thoroughfares of Los Angeles to-
 day and tonight to render fitting honor to Henry T. Gage, the Republi- can nominee for Governor The greet ing given to the standard bearer by his neighbors and friends was more than a political demonstration. In the ele monte of spontaneity, cordiality and en- thusiasm it amounted to an ovation. in which multitudes cheered the leader Of the party in the campaign so auspic- iously opened to-day.
 Nothing of special moment marked the journey of Mir. Gage hither from San Francisco. The train passed through the great San Joaquin Valley in the night and the Republicans in the various towns who had wired to as certain of the candidate if he could pause and address them were assured that later on in the campaign he would deem it a special honor to meet the people of that region.
 Telegrams received en route indi- cated to MT. Gage the character of the welcome that awaited him on his re- turn to his home, but the messages did not foreshadow the magnitude of the .demonstrations to-day and tonight. :: At 11:30 o'clock a. m. a delegation left this city for Burbank to meet the in coming train and receive MT.

NO UTAH PLAN IN IDAHO.
The Real Silver Republicans viii
Join Silver Party.

Blackfoot, Ida, Aug. 19.-The gold
Republican county convention for
Bingham county met here today I'M
der dismal auspices. There were but
nine out of 70 precincts represented,
and "A actual delegates present, II of
whom were from Idaho Falls and
Blackfoot.
The action of Utah Republicans in
declaring for silver and repudiating
Mark Hanna has caused confusion in
this part of the state. Republicanism
in Idaho is Mark Hanna and sheep.
They insist here that the silver issue
is settled and the gold standard must
be sustained If the party is to de-
clare for silver in Idaho, they claim,
they had better join the silver Repub
licans, believing the only way to aid
silver is to join silver party.
This cropped among the handful of
delegates, and will be manifest at the
state convention at Boise next week.
They will declare for the gold standard
in state convention, concealed, per-
haps. under some allusion to interna-
tional bimetallism, but it will be a
declaration for the gold standard, not
for bimetallism. The genuine silver
man who supported the party last
time will not do so again. The dele
gates elected are all from the towns
of Idaho Falls and Blackfoot, the
country precincts being entirely ig-
nored. The delegates are: w. E.
Wheeler r. Rounds, ]. II. Jackson
and d. c.. Martin, Idaho Falls: G. B.
Rogers and c. Z. Thum of Blackfoot
The resolutions endorse McKinleys
administration throughout.

ORDERS FROM MADRID.
Enforcement of Protocol In Porto
Rico and Philippines.

Madrid, Aug. 13.-The government to-
night telegraphed to the governor
generals of Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines instructions for carrying out
the terms Of the protocol signed by
the United States and Spain, and to
prepare for evacuation. Instructions
were also sent covering the policy to
be adopted in the event of the insur-
gents refusing to observe the armis-
tice.
Duke Almodovar de Rio, minister of
foreign affairs. has asked NJ. Patenotre,
the French ambassador at Madrid, to
transmit to his government the thanks
OF Spain for the good offices which
have resulted in the earliest possible
signature OF a protocol OF peace with
the United States.
The Liberal commenting on the
gravity OF the situation as regards the
Philippine islands, says it appears Ger
tain that the peace commission will
accord TO Spain sovereignty over al
most the whole of the archipelago but
that Spain viii lose more than she will
gain if Aguinaldo's insurgents do not
make submission.
The TEMPO urges the government to
hasten III every way possible the COM
pletion of peace negotiations.
