Mortified, VT, May 2S.-The weather
bureau officials here who have made
preparations to observe the eclipse
were disappointed by an overcast sky
which practically shut out all view OF
the sun. Nevertheless, from $50 O'Clock
to about $50, observations were made
every 10 minutes, and as the time for
the totality approached, the obserVa-
tons were made every five minutes. On
account of the cloudy conditions 1t Is

by the department for such uses as
they deem wise.
New York, May 2S.-Heavy clouds
obscured the skies in New York and
vicinity, today, and prevented anything
but the most incomplete observations
of the eclipse. The sun rose with every
promise of clear day. Only n few
clouds drifted across the sky, and Il
brisk wind made the atmosphere clear
and brilliant. Soon after o'clock,
however, the wind shifted to the north
east. and a dense cloud swept overhead
and by lbs. when the first edge of the
moons shadow cut the sun, the clouds
were practically impenetrable.
The day became even more lowering
as the eclipse advanced, and the thou
sands of sky gazers were only able to
obtain fleeting views of the phenome-
non through drifts in the clouds. The
period of greatest totality in this lati-
tude was at go O'Clock. but at that
hour the clouds were thickest and the
crescent of the sun was barely visible
and pale, as a young moon through the
dense atmosphere.
Cambridge, Mass, May 2S.-Prepara-
tons had been made at the Harvard
observatory in this city for observing
today's eclipse of the sun, in spite of
the fact that n large party from the
college had gone to Georgia to view

tageous point. During the progress of
the eclipse here the sky was clouded,
making observations impossible.
Fort Monroe, Va, May 2S.-The sun

yesterday of its investigation of
the compilation and publication of
the Messages and Papers of

inds that Representative Rich
ardSon devoted four years TO compiling
and indeXing the papers. 1t also is
stated that he expended $500 of his
own funds in securing assistance in the
preparation of the index. With refer
ence TO the claim of copyright the COM
mittec says that Richardson does not
claim that il operates against the gov
ernment, but only as against all other
publiShers-that ii protects the form
OF the publication, the Illustrations and
the original matter. though none of
the documents themselves.
On this point the committee ex-
presses the opinion that the prohibi-
ton in the printing act was intended
to cover every publication authorized
by congress in all possible forms. to
prevent what has happened-the copy
righting of this particular book" The

weekly crop bulletin of the weather
bureau for Illinois for the week ended
May 81 is as follows: The first few
days of last week were dry and very
warm, and farm work proceeded rap
idly. The soil became very dry gem
orally, and growing crops suffered
somewhat. From Wednesday to Sat
urday good rains occurred throughout
the state. The rain fell generally in
such manner as TO be well absorbed
by the soil, the run-Off being small,
and the end of the week finds condi-
tions highly favorable for growth of
vegetation and the ground in good
