Professor w. II. Pickering brings 70 light some
ambiguous references, in biographical works Oh
reference to the similar discovery made at the
Harvard Observatory in 1913. No less than
three standard works OF this class say that one

Of Saturn at that time. Now, counting from the
planet outward, the eighth satellite OF Saturn
is Iapetus. But the eighth In the order or as

Mr.. HITCHCOCK RETURNS.
The Ex-AmbassadOr Discusses the
Cars Peace Proposition.

NEW YORK, Feb 17.-Ethan Allen Hitch
cock, the retiring American ambassador to
Russia, recently appointed by President Nc
Kinley United States secretary of the in
terror, arrived to-day from abroad on the
steamship Teutonic. Asked for some infor-
nation concerning the Cars peace propo-
sition, he said HE is perfectly sincere
and in the calling of the conference has
taken the first step toward the abolishment
of militarism. He, of course, does not make
any requests for disarmament for the pres
ent, but when the conference meets it is
the most likely thing in the world that the
one who called the meeting will be asked
what he proposes to do. Then suggestions
will be in order, and, of course, the plan will
be thoroughly discussed and perhaps counter
suggestions will be made. In this way
scheme will be devised and ] have conf
dence that much good in the direction of
permanent peace between the nations will be
reached. The calling of the conference Is
the first move in that direction"
Secretary Hitchcock will assume his new
duties Immediately on reaching Washington.

Reasons Why the Port Norfolk Electric
Railway is Desired.

Reasons Why the Port Norfolk Electric
Railway is Desired.
There has been for the past few days
or since the return of Senator Maynard
from the North, O. rumor current to
the effect that through the business
sagacity Of the Senator, the Port Nor
folk Street Railway Co. would change
hands by coming into possession OF a
company of gentlemen whose interests
Mr.. Maynard represents.
There may or may not be, truth In
what has been stated, Senator Maynard
refusing yesterday either to affirm or
deny, and 1t Is more than probable that
1t is true. But though deal may be
on foot to purchase this property, no
sale has been consummated, as the
road is at present in the hands Of n
receiver. Mr.. b. Watkins Leigh, and
If decree has been granted by the
United States Court, directing a sale, 1t
is not known by the general public.
Control of the road could be secured
by purchasing n majority of its stock
and paying off or compromising the
debts OF the road. But this will hardly
be done in this instance, at least not
as mentioned above. At the last ses-
sion of the General Assembly n char
ter was granted to the Portsmouth and
Smithfield Railroad Company, the fol-
lowing gentlemen being incorporators:
MeSsrs. John l.. Watson, C.. Fentress
Ddy' "A. j. fnll1pS, senator II. II. BOY
Kin and Mr.. L. j. Wool, their associ-
ates. successors and assigns. Senator
Maynard is interested in this enterprise,
which Is now being surveyed for either
steam or electric road from Ports
mouth to Smithfield and intermediate
points.
If these gentlemen elect to run this
road by electricity. the control OF the
Port Norfolk Electric Railway would
help them very materially, and for
other obvious reasons too numerous to
mention.
1t is hoped by the promoters of the
Portsmouth and Smithfeld road to have
1T in operation by not later than the
first of the coming year. and probably
sooner If two or three obstacles in their
way can be removed in time.

be conducted If the church was opened

This Big Government Enterprise Pre-
scented An Animated Appear
ance Yesterday


The yacht Vixen, which has been uns
dergong repairs at the yard for some
time, must be ready to sail some time
next week, orders having been received
here to that effect. AS a result the va
rious departments of the yard got an
extra move on. so to speak, and for the
balance of the day chips flew.
The little yacht is to be ready by
Saturday for her store and COAL and
1t nothing happens to prevent she will
i'll ali probability leave here by We'd
nesday Her final destination, if
known at the yard, has not been made
public. BY some it Is thought she may
eventually go to Manila.
Mr.. Marshall Dray, whose home Is in
Washington, D. c.. and who has been
employed in the p-joiners depart
ment of the yard for several weeks, re-
ceived an appointment yesterday to n
lucrative position in the Treasury De-
partment at Washington. Mr. Dray
TOOK his discharge at once and made
all necessary preparations to leave last
night for his new field of labor
Two echooners, loaded with paving
brick for the yard and dock depart
ment, are discharging their cargoes
The bricks are to be used in laying a
sidewalk on the east side of Third
street. from Lincoln street to the west
gate, and when completed will not only
be decided improvement to that much
used thoroughfare, but a great conve-
nience to the employees of the yard. The
Work is being done by the yards and
docks force.
Owing to a recent decision of the
Comptroller OF the Currency regarding
the civil service law. a number of the
yard employees think that the Chief Ex-
ecutive Will shortly issue his order re-
scinding what is commonly called the
Cleveland Blanket" This, is is claim
ed, Will completely strip the navy yards
OF the present system known as the

not is merely conjectual, so the boys
