LOOKS LIKE CONSUMPTION.
Landowner Bill in House of Lords
Causes Comment.


London, July TN the House of Lords
to-day the secretary of state for war, the
Marquis of Lansdowne introduced bill
which is regarded as the thin end of the
wedge of a conscription and as, therefore,
likely to render the government unpopu-
lar. The bill, which is entitled the
Militia Ballot Act" is intended to sim
plify and regularize an existing act now
practically suspended in favor of volun-
tary enlistment.
In his speech introducing the measure,
Lord Iansdowne carefully explained that
the government only wanted it read the
first time. as there was no intention to
mass il. and he repudiated the idea OF
irving TO introduce conscription by a side
wind"
Personally. he said, he did not favor con-
scription. but he thought 1t advisable That
sucb a bill should be in readiness II want
ed " and that "the country should realize
how it stands with regard to this dues-
ton"
Already the Liberal papers are attack
ing the government and asking what need
there is Of such a measure unless con-
scripton is intended. and looking TO me
fact that recruiting is dwindling, the DHl
will be regarded with suspicion.

Per Cent. on Investment.
London. July 7-AIr. Arthur J. Balfour,
first lord of the treasury, received to-day
a large delegation regarding the proposed
tunnel under the Irish channel The dele
cation included the Marquis of London
derry, Rear Admiral Lord Charles Berss-
ford and Lord Edmond Fitzmaurice.
Lord Londonderry said the delegation
simply asked the approval of the govern
ment and when the tunnel was constructed
a government guarantee of 3 per cent on
the outlay, or a prize to make up a de-
ficiency TO that amount. He said it was
estimated that the work would cost no.
900.
Mr.. Balfour said he quite recognized that
such a tunnel would be of great interna-
tional advantage and would draw Great
Britain closer to Ireland as well as TO the
United States and he would lay the mat
ter before his colleagues, which the dele
CATION had suggested he should do.

John n. Stucky on Trial for His Life
at SpartanburG, :. c.
Columbia, S. c., July z-Great interest
has been manifested in the trial of John
K. STICKY. a merchant of Spartanburg, for
the murder of his bookkeeper, John Sc
vier, on Dec. q, 1898. The jury was Sc
cured yesterday after some difficulty, and
there have been great many witnesses
examined. Ex-Solicitor O. L. Schumpert
has assisted Solicitor Sease in the prose
cution, while four lawyers of the local
bar represented the defendant.
The defense was self-defense. The wit
nesses, however, did not make a strong
showing for Sticky The ante-mortem
statement of Sewer, made to the attend
ing physician, and in the presence of wit
nesses, was the strong feature for the state
1t was to the effect that he had
gone 10 STICKY and told him that his cash
book would not balance, and then asked
for settlement of back account STICKY
went TO his safe as if 10 get a book but
instead drew out a revoived and shot sew
eral times: THE damned cowardly scum
drel shot me because he was broke and I
knew it," was part of the statement.
A pistol found on the floor, Sewer said
in his dying statement, had been in the
safe with the other used by STICKY ana
was drawn out by STICKY. Sewer said he
had no weapon and did not use one.
All during the trial Mrs. Sticky and an
other relative were within the bar, while
a beautiful young daughter of the slain
man sat with the prosecuting attorney.

SEE sun SPOTS IN BOSTON.
astronomer Finds Many Portentou,
Marks on the SUMS Surface.
From the New York Tiner


From the New York Times.
Boston, June 26.-There is now visible
ON the surface of the sun spot which II
Is SAID Is by far the most remarkable
seen In twenty years. It's appearance has
been great surprise to observers, as ac-
cording to the astronomical almanac. this
is the eleventh, or off year for sun spots.
and besides this 1t appeared with a sud
denness which is unusual.
When Mr.. Ordway, the proprietor of the
telescope on Boston Common, took his last
look at the sun Thursday night. no indI-
cation or II was visible But on Friday
morning II was there with
the greatest disunctness. The
large black spot in the center
Is about 5000 miles in diameter, and this
IS surrounded by penumbra about $4,000
miles across. Al some distance from the
outer edge of the penumpra are other
spots which have broken off from the
large one, forming a ring part way
around the center. These number nine
teen in all, most of them being included
In the arc on the upper left-hand side of
the central spot. and others In group on
the lower left-hand side. They are from
5000 to ll,000 miles in diameter from one
side of this outer circle to the other the
distance is 275,000 to 100000 miles. The
central black spot. which is the most in
terestng part of the phenomenon, is
slightly balloon-shaped. and on the right
hand side its edge is very ragged.
Mr. Ordway Is of the opinion that the
cioudburst and other disturbances of Sat-
urday night were the effects of this sun
spot and that by tomorrow other effects
may be felt, especially in the South.
