three reasons. First, the aforesaid phy-

Second, that the health officer Of this

ployed in the copying division of the con-
gressional library, have been held in
81 500 bail for trial on the charge Of con
spring to make fraudulent election re-
turns in this city. The arrest of the three
men was the outcome of testimony adj
duced at the hearing last week of sew
e1al residents OF Washington who had
been arrested here on a similar charge.
On that occasion. il was testified that a
party of alleged fepeaters numbering
about Il had been brought 10 this city

Astronomers Mistaken.

New York, Nov IA spe :lal dispatch
Washington says: The shower Of Leon

year too soon. This announcement
has just been mad by DIR. T.. j. See,
one Of the most advanced astronomers
in the government service. "Astronom-
ical calculations have not erred as to the
perlodicity Of the LeOnidS,' said DR.. See
to the Journal, but the generally ac-
cepted conclusion as to the time it take,
has been wrong. After the most care
full observations made with the best
in the service Of the govern
ment and after the most unerring cal
culations in strict conformity to astro-
nomical laws I am thoroughly on
WINGED that the period Of passage Is two
years instead Of one year, as heretofore
believed. The Leonils have been within
the earth's orbit fOr a year n5w. and
Will remain with us for another IL
months. The meteoric shower has not
been as heavy this time as there was
good scientific reason for believing ii
would be. That is because We have not

terpart Of that in 1853. At that time

PROPOSED OCEAN TRIP
1t Is Not Yet Definitely Decided as to
Whether She Will Cross the Ocean
to Take Part in the Foreign Yacht
Races,

New York, Nov. 1.-THE Tribune says:
The victorious cup defender Columbia
has been hauled out on the WAYS of John
Hawkins. at City island. This, however,
does not settle the question as to whether
or not the famous Herreshoff craft will
cross the ocean TO contest in Mediterran-
can and British yacht races. Mr.. Iselin
himself does no know for certainty what
Will be done. He and Mrs. Iselin will
soon start for the other side and there
are many things to consider before any
order Will issue to place the Columbia
under cruising rig. AT present the in
tentions are simply to put the cup winner
IN a good safe place on the land and
leave her there until wanted.
Mr.. Iselin came from All View, New
Rochelle, to City island to look the boat
over after she was hauled out and to give
some directions in regard to those men
who We're Still employed On the boat, two
of whom We're paid off yesterday. When
seen at the Hawkins yard he said:
~ have had all the yachting I want
for a long tine"
He did not. however. say that he had
positively made UP bis mind to leave the
1o1Ifiibld NH6Ie sag ~ Hntll the next Am
erfcan yachting season and the rest Of tn.
conversation showed that this is not vet
settled. Among the men still employed
on the Columbia there is a difference OF
opinion as TX the future movements OF
the yacht. One mar who wore the uni
form OF the crew said:
This boat is going across the ocean.
| know what she is going to do and YOU
need not remain any longer in doubt.
The Columbia will leave here in January
to cross to the other side. This is the
present intention and this is what will
be done"
Another man, who said he had been
paid off, gave the impression that the
yacht would remain at Hawkins yards,
so that TO risks would be taken with her
until she is required again in these
waters. The contradictory and equally
positive statements suggest that if a new
challenger comes from England, or else
Columbia will remain where she is. but
that if no challenge comes in before
Jan. | she viii put on a ketnch rig and
cross in time for the Rivera racing. It
challenge comes before Jan. l the
New York Yacht club need not lessen the
regular 10 months notice and thus the
race could not be sailed Within the sea-
son, Under the last deed of gift, so that
after the second or third week in De-
cember the Columbia may prepare to sail
to the other side. knowing that she will
not be required here next season. Com
lnodore j. p. Morgan has just paid all
the years expenses of the Defender.
