COMING TOTAL ECLIPSE.
what an Expert on the Subject Says

Sir Norman Lockyer, who has observed
more eclipses than any other man living.
Says in the Youth ) companion:
The nautical almanac tells US that the
next eclipse happens on blay q and Is.
Many may ask WY the time given for
an occurrence which lasts only q few
seconds is thus stated. The reason for
this Is simDIe As the raGon passes be-

earth round her axis during this period

long line on the earth s surface.
"A map Of its path shows that at a
certain point in the Pacific ocean the sun
rises totally ecHpsed. The shadow crosses
Mexico enters the United States in
Texas stretches across the country TO
Norfolk. crosses the Atlantic and ends in
Northern Africa For each of the p aces
along this narrow streak the time OF mid
totality is different. As astronomers be-
gin a new day when the sun is on the
meridian, that is,. when he is highest In
the sky, there will be places which have
the time of mid-totality before noon, and
some after noon. AT all the American
stations the eclipse will be visible on
May q. before noon, but. on that part Of
Spain and Algiers, observers will see the
eclipsed sun after noon of May 2S
IF We deal with short intervals of
time. we find some regions are more ia
vcrable than Others in the matter Of
eclipses. For Instance, the British isle

one total solar eclipse since the twelfth
century, that which occurred on April %
Ills, and it will not be till the twenty
fifth century that the next one becomes
due.
IN case of the United States. there is
quite a different story to tell. The Amer

assumption that there will be- the
slightest improvement In the Chinese
situation. Indeed, the, general tenor
OF the news as found light was to- add
to the steadily growing doubt as to the
good faith of the Chinese government
as manifested in its acts. Admiral
Kempff's letter, given publicity BY the
navy department yesterday, made the
direct statement that the imperial atl-
thorities were in sympathy with the
Boxers, though he added that the gov
eminent was afterward paralyzed and
incapable of controlling the situation.
This was the first official declaration
to reach our government contradictory
of the Chinese representations that the
imperial government had steadfastly
and from the first opposed the Boxer
movement, and our government Is
bound to accept the word of Its own
officer until that is overcome by IRE
futable evidence. Then the ex-
changes that are in constant progress
between the powers are tending more
and more to cast suspicion upon the
geLuineness of the many communica-
tions that have come from Picking
through Chinese governmental sources.
If 1t should be finally established that
there has been an attempt on their
part to practice gigantic fraud upon
the world the fact may call for q
change of attitude on the part OF the

DEEPENs TIE MYSTERY.
Nothing in Conger's Message to Dis
sfpate Doubts as to PeI<fng.

Nothing in COnger's Message to Dis
sipate Doubts as to Picking.
Washington, July 27.-The receipt
at Tien-tsin of an undoubtedly genuine
and photographic message from Minis
ter Conger has done nothing to dissi-
pate the doubt as to the situation at
Picking. The message, which was
forwarded by the naval officers at
Tien-tsin, Taku and Chefu, has, in
deed, served only to deepen the darkest
and saddest mystery Of the century.
Official conclusion remains unchanged,
of course, but it is admitted that Il
careful scrutiny of the autograph mes
sage in comparison with the famous
cipher message from Minister Conger
admits. of the belief that the two mes
sages were indited by Mr.. Conger at
about the same time. The situation
at the British legation is represented
to be the same in each case, and as Mr..
Conger declares that relief must come
quickly if at all, there is ground for
the sllpposition that conditions could
not long have remained unchanged in
such Il crisis. The assumption that
this reasoning is correct involves the
further conclusion that Mr.. Conger's
cipher message, if genuine, was re-
dated as Of the 18th of July, two
weeks later than the date of actual
writing, and, of course, if related at
all that was done by Chinese officials.
Conger's Message.
The following cablegram has been
received ut the navy department, dated
Chefu, July "a, and signed by Capt.
Charles NJ. Thomas, commander of the
BrccElyn: written message, signed
Conger, dated July 4, received Tien-
tsin. 21st, says: Been besieged two
weeks, British legation. Grave danger
general massacre by Chinese soldiers,
who are Smelling legation daily. Re-
lief soon if at all City without gov
eminent except by Chinese army. De-
termined massacre all foreigners, Pc
king. Entry relief force into Picking

Moving With Great Energy.
The United States war department
is moving at present with greater en-
ergy than at any time since the origi-
nal orders for troops to get it's contin-
gent in position for the task before it.
Gen. Chaffee reported to the depart
ment formally yesterday from Nagas-
ako and there received orders which
have been sent by cable since his de-
parture from San Francisco. An idea
of their general character can be
gathered from the generals report that
he was about to push forward at once
with his big TRANSPORT for Taku.

What is the duration of a wink.
The time occupied by the several
phases of the movement has been
measured, and it is found that the
mean duration of the descent of the lid
is from seventy-five to ninety -one
thousandths of second. The interval
while the eye is shut was in one case
only fifteen-hundredths of a second.
The rising of the lid occupied seven
teen-hundredths of a second. A spe-
cially arranged Photographic appar-
atus was used. The colloquial phrase
that something is done quicker than
a wink" is therefore expressive to a
degree that may be stated in fractions
of a second.

SAFE CONVOY FOR MINISTER'S

fFOV10e0 NO Advance IL Made ON
The Shanghai correspondent Of the
Daily Express, telegraphing yesterday,
says: A general rising throughout
China is now regarded as SO absolute
~ certain that all the missionaries
have been ordered to take refuge with
out delay either at Shanghai or Hong
kong. Refugees are beginning to ar
rive from all points in the most pitia-

most constant correspondence with the
governor Of Shanghai, Ii Hung Chang
announced this afternoon that the i'm

the members Of the foreign legations
from Peking to Tien-tsin provided a
guarantee were given that no advance
WouA be made upon the capital and
that all matters in dispute between
