THE PLANET JUPITER'S
ERRATIC MOVEMENTS
Professor George W. Hough Thinks
He Has Made an Important
niScOuarU

CHICAGO, March 2.-Professor George
w. Hough, the astronomer at the Dear
horn Observatory in Evanston, has made
public a new discovery in regard to the
surface rotations of the planet Jupiter,
which is completely at variance with the
existing belief. 1t is the general tenet OF
astronomers, and the statements are en-
bodied in the most recent textbooks on
the science, that the surface rotation OF
the planet Jupiter is similar to that of
the sun, being quickest near the equator
and slowest in the high latitudes near the
poles.
In his conclusions. based on long rec
ord of observations extending over
pleted, Professor Hough. announces his
belief that the surface of the planet Jul
piter rotates upon its axis in separate en-
velopes or strata.
Professor Hough further discovered in
the long series Of observations that the
spots shift in longitude, besides, having
a rotary movement, and this also sup
ports the ring or strata theory, strength
ening Professor Hough's belief of many
years that Jupiter is in a gaseous or plas-
tic state.

View Taken in Rome of the
Letter to Cardinal
Gibbons.
DUST CLEARED AWAY
Archbishop Ireland Rightly Inter
preted the Views Of the
Sovereign Pontif.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ROME, March 1.-The inn
preston prevails here, now that
the dust has settled and things
can be plainly seen, that the
Pope's letter to Cardinal Gibbons
approves real "Americanism"
and condemns those who had
misrepresented it. The Pope col
lected, examined and definitely
repudiated all such misrepresen-
tations.
incidentally he believes that
the things so alleged never ex-
listed in America, for the Atneri-
can Bishops would have de-
nounced them, and his Holiness
thus vindicates true "American-
ism"
Archbishop Ireland's letter ap-
pears to have emphasized the
Pope's views, and it is generally
understood that Cardinal Ram
polla, Papal Secretary Of State,
has assured him that the Pope
never condemned and never in
tended to condemn real "Ameri-
canisn1," declaring also that
Archbishop Ireland had rightly
interpreted the views of the Pope,
and urged him to make this fact
known.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, March John ]. Mitch
ell, president of the Illinois Trust and
Savings Bank, upon receiving word
from New York that a majority of the
stock of the Chicago and Alton had
been deposited with the United States
Trust Company, and that pledges had
been given for the deposit of many
more shares, gave out to-day the mem
bers Of the purchasing syndicate. They
are George Gould, president of the
Missouri Pacific; Jacob Schiff. chair
man Of the board of the Baltimore
and Ohio; James Stillman. president
of the National City Bank of New
York, representing the Rockefeller
holdings in the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas, and E. H. Hartman. chairman
of the board of the Union Pacific. rep
resenting the Vanderbilt interests.
Hartman is also understood to rep
resent to some extent the Illinois Cen
trail road, which is indirectly interested
in the deal. Beyond the expenditure
of So, 000, 900 for the Improvement of the
property generally, and another So 000,-
600 which is to be set aside for the work
of eleVating the tracks of the company
at Chicago, it is understood that the
syndicate has not yet made any def
NIT pIdIlS LII Tie 1OIUIS management
of the road. Mr.. Blackstone will prob
ably retire from the presidency, and
Vice President and General Manager
Chappell may succeed him. Mr.. Black
stone was offered the craftsmanship of
the executive committee, but declined
it. The other officials of the company
will, it is understood retain their pres
ent positions.
Chief among the men who owned and
have sold the road were Marshall Field,
A. c. Bartlett, A. A. Sprague and John
]. Mitchell.
The price paid, counting in the bond
ed debt, is $74 sos, 676.
With the tidings of the consumma-
ton of the deal came the report that
the new owners of the Alton would sell
it's share in the Union Depot Company,
owning the Union Depot terminals at
Adams street, and would become les
sees of the Chicago Railway Terminal
Company, with its passenger station at
Harrison street and Fifth avenue.
The purchaser of the Atoms share
in the Union depot, according to the
report, will be the Pennsylvania. The
latter road wants this terminal for it's
Panhandle line.
The sale of the Alton will, it is said,
have a far-reaching effect on the rail-
road business of the entire country

regiments have been ordered to make
ready to proceed to San Francisco and
thence to Manila.
In answer to the direct question as to
whether Or not the regular troops are
intended to relieve a corresponding
number of volunteer soldiers at Ma
Mia it was said at the War Department
that while this probably would be the
case it was not possible yet to make
positive statement. This means that If
when the reinforcementS arrive at Ma
Mia the conditions are satisfactory the
volunteers will be brought home, but
if Otis shall have need for all Of the
combined force then they must wait.
The reinforcementS are made up OF
troops who are not only regulars in the
full sense of the term, but who have
been through the Cuban or Porto Rican
campaigns. They know what it is to
be under fire; how to hunt Indians and
also how to fight in tropical jungles.
With them replacing the same number
of volunteers General Otis will have a
majority of regulars in his command,
something the War Department has
earnestly desired to bring about at the
earliest possible moment. The posi-
ton of the American commander at
Manila also will be safeguarded against
the effect of a sudden and forced dis
charge of volunteers by the ratification
of the peace treaty.

TOBERMORY, Scotland March g.
The Dominion line steamship Labrador,
from st. John, N. B., for Liverpool, ran
ashore about four miles from Sherry
wore on Wednesday morning, Captain
Erskine, her commander, has sent the
following dispatch to the agents of the
steamship at Liverpool:
Labrador ran on Mackenzie Rock in
a thick fog at 7 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, four miles from Skerryvore. The
ship was caught amidships the seas
breaking over. Holds Nos. 1, 2 and 3
were soon full of water. The passen-
gers and crew were saved in the boats.
One boatload was landed at Skerryvore
lighthouse. The German steamship
Viking picked up the remainder. No
steamship is obtainable to return for
the passengers. If the ship is not broken
up will endeavOr to save the mails
when a steamship IS obtained"
The Labrador had good passage IN
til Sunday, when she entered a fog
bank and lost her bearings. Sherry
wore light was mistaken for IniStrahu1
light, on the north of Ireland. Most or
the passengers were still in bed When
the steamship struck and there was
much excitement, but the passengers
captain, the boats were lowered with
out a hitch and all on board left the
steamship in safety.
The passengers and crew lost every
thing they possessed. The women and
children were put in the first boat and
the other passengers in the second
boat. The crew of the Labrador took
the other boats.
After three and half hours the boats
met the steamship Viking from Nor
way which took them on board.
When the Labrador was last seen she
was settling down by the stern. The
passengers of the wrecked steamship
are full of praise for the Labrador's
officers and crew and for the conduct
of the captain of the Viking.
Agoncillo, the Filipino representative,
who ran away from the United states
on the outbreak of hostilities at Ma
Mia, was a passenger on the Labrador,
and behaved like an arrant coward
when the vessel struck.
OBAN, March "A half dozen OF the
rescued passengers of the Labrador
have arrived here. All speak of the
suddenness and completeness of the
disaster One lady was obliged to leave
jewelry worth $4,000 behind her, and an
other passenger, a man, left $500 in
cash.
The lighthouse steamer left Oban this
afternoon to try to take off the passen-
gers imprisoned in the Skerryvore
lighthouse and to salvage the mails.

WHY GERMANS ARE LEFT
TO AMERICAN PROTECTION

BERLIN, March "A high German
authority, who prefers to be nameless,
assures the correspondent here Of the
Associated Press that the motives
which induced Germany to intrust the
protection Of Germans in the Philip
pine Islands are simple. The Kaiserin
Augusta and other German warships in
the Far East are needed in Chinese
waters, owing to the recent disturb
ances, and Germany feels that German
interests are safe under the protection
of Americans. This implies, of course,
a high compliment to the United States,
but it is only in cOnsOnance with sew
eraI previous declarations made by
Baron Won Bulow, the German Minister
of Foreign Affairs.
Regarding Samoa, the same high Ger
man authority said Germany was
awaiting the initiative of the other
powers. If the division Of the islands
is to be carried out the officials of the
German Navy Department say the Ger
man third-class cruiser Fake will be
relieved by the German fourth-class
cruiser Sperber. The new German gun
boat Yagur is going to China, making
a total of twenty-five German war
ships on foreign service.
