great invisible cone into space in the di-

and Twenty-Five minutes the eclipse was
total to observers where the sky was clear.
AS the shadow Of the earth has swung
about it's tremendous circle during 1898
the moon has three times passed through
it. Jan. Z there was total eclipse that,
like the one of Tuesday night, was visible
throughout the Americas, Asia, Africa
and Europe. July 3 the silver orb that
floats in the sky had section of it's bright
surface obscured by the shadow Of par

pixie Praises Mckinley.

The South cannot but concur in the
sentiments expressed by Mr.. McKin-
ley, and applaud him for his courage in
delivering Observation-Disclosures Gazette.
Mr.. McKinley's public addresses
have been so full of generous senti-
ments beautifully expressed that the
people have been moved to enthuSl-
asm.-Richmond Times.
He is the first Republican President
who has been regarded as truly the
Chief Magistrate of the entire union.
He is so regarded, and has been treat
ed accordingly.-New Orleans Picay-
une.
This utterance from President Nc
Kinley, a Republican and an eX-Union
soldier, is authoritative. 1t marks the
end, not only of sectional ill-feeling,
but Of sectional MISUNDERSTANDING
Banner.
President McKinley's patriotic trib-
ute to the heroic dead of the Confeder-
ate cause, paid in the course of his
speech to the Georgia Legislature, will
be much appreciated by the people OF
the South.-Savannah News.
Mckinley will still be gamer, for
he has put a sympathetic finger on
soft spot in the hearts of Southern men
and women, and by doing SO has laid
them under an obligation which they
will not cease to give grateful recogni-
tion.-New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Whatever the primary meaning Of
his words, the Interpretation that will
be put upon his utterances everywhere
throughout the South will be their true
meaning-the close union of all the
people of the United STAGES in loyalty
to the country.-Charleston News and
Courier.

RIOTERS AT HAVANA.
Deeds of Violence Precede Hoistin. OF
Stars and Stripes.

Serious rioting occurred in Havana
Tuesday night. Before it was quelled
American regulars had to be called for.
They did their work so well that one
Spanish sailor was killed and dozen
Cubans and Spaniards injured, some ia
tally.
The trouble started through the resent
ment of some Spanish soldiers and sailors
because the American and Cuban flags
were flying everywhere in the city, which
event the Cubans were boisterously cele-
brating. A Spanish soldier, marching
with his company to the wharf, tried to
pull down a Cuban flag in Bomba street.
lie was shot at and dangerously wound
ed. Desperate fighting followed between
Spaniards and Cubans.
Lieut.. Miller of the Tenth United States
infantry, whose company had been
brought into the CITY for just such an
emergency, and Was stationed three
blocks away, sent Sergeant Adams with
detail of dozen men to preserve order.
The regulars soon reached the narrow
street and forming in line swept all be-
fore them at the point Of the bayonet.
Midway in the block is cafe. When
the Americans reached there they were
fired upon. A quick order from Sergeant
Adams and dozen rifles rang out as one.
Nearly every shot told, for eight or ten
persons were seen to drop. One Spanish
sailor was killed and the rest, Cubans and
Spaniards, were wounded. That single
volley scattered the crowd like so many
sheep. The American soldiers captured
four of the ringleaders in the disturbance
and marched them back to their quarters.
None of the American regulars was in
jured. The city Wednesday was prac-
tically in the hands Of the Americans.

An Anti-Expansionist View.

If we can sell steel rails to foreign
countries, and locomotives, and har-
vesting machines, and bicycles, and
about everything else we make, there
is no reason why we cannot make mer-
chant ocean steamers, and run them,
too, as cheaply as anybody does. And
it is high time to take hold of our mer-
chant marine and do our own carrying
across the ocean. And if England SCI
cures her business by subsidizing her
steamship lines, we must subsidize
ours. That's much cheaper than 1t Is
to buy distant islands, and pay heavy
expenses in caring for them.-Lowell
(Mass.) Courier.

Puzzle to Physicians.
For five months Tiny Broeschit of Mil
vaukee has not spoken word and lies in
her little room entirely oblivious to her
surroundings. Every effort to attract her
attention or make her so much as raise
an eyelid has completely failed. She IS
gradually wasting away; death is the only
thing which her family and friends think
will relieve her from her suffering. ohe
has become greatly emaciated, takes but
little food and seems simply to exist with
out interest in the outward and apparent
world. She is not in a trance, for during
the greater part of the day her eyes are
wide open and fixed with wistful glance
upon one corner of the room, where she
seems to see things that other people can
not see.
Hypnotists are experimenting with the
girl and claim to have made progress IN
reviving her. They expect to ultimately
succeed. Physicians, however, find no
change in the girls condition.

Bad for Spanish Merchants.

Porto Rico continues to buy large
quantities of supplies from Spain.
That is because under existing arrange
ments the Spaniards are the most IA
vored nation dealing with Porto Rico.
When the Porto Rioar tariff is the same
as that of the United States, some of
the Spanish merchants who have been
getting wealthy off the trade with tho

astrous falling off in their business.
