The path of totally OF tie suns
eclipse Monday morning extended via
Norfolk, Columbia, SC, Raleigh,
Mobile and New Orleans in America.
Ali persons north Of these points saw
the north rim of the sun in proportion
to the distance from the path of total
lty, All persons south of the path of
tOtality saw the south rim Of the sun.
AT Wellington, when the eclipse was
central, or at its greatest point, a
ra'rOw strip Of the sun showing
about One-fourth its face as near as
can be reckOned by off hand calcula-
tiOG, was visible. II Wellington
people could have witnessed the
eclipse from the path OF tOtality this
morning, they would have seen the
moon, which caused the eclipse,
plainly by ditfused and reflected light
the color on different parts varying
from leaden to c0pperish, and it would
have been an awe.inspirlng sight.
Some of the large stars were visible
from the path of totality, such as
CdSSiOpeia, Auriga, Taurus ana
Orion. Had the eclipse that morning
occurred few hours or even moments
earlier or later, the path Of tOtality
would have varied accordingly. The
moon was at extreme north during
the eclipse, and the eclipse extended
beyond the North Pole. The published
maps Of the eclipse were all based on
the size of the sun and moon, the
speed and direction Of the moon, its
distance from the earth and sun, and
the speed Of the earth in its orbit, of
its rotation on its axis, and its dis
lance from the sun. These are only a
few Of the problems that had TO be

Of the eclipse, and 10 designating

limit upon the time any preacher
could legally hold pulpit in the same
church. That system was generally
called the itineraCy, and through it
the country circuit rider, by faithful
ness, obedience aud hard work, lnalIy
found q more desirable place in the
pulpit OF strong church, and was
rewarded for bis years of hard work
and privatioDS. By the removal Of
the time limit, the lot of the well-to-
do minister's improved and that of
the less fortunate country preacher
made the more trying. Under
the former rule, the most for
tunate ministers finally received
orders to "move on" and thus left
vacancies 80 be filed by other pastors.
This has been done away with, and
the more desirable pulpiis will here
after be filed by the fortunate class
of preachers who can manage to hold
the favor OF their congregations.

Russia win Act Alone.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 1.-THE Russian
government permits it to become known
that its attitude in China will be an in
creasing independence OF the concert of the
powers. Russia, it is explained, is dispos-
ed to attach less value to joint action
since her interests have been fully secured
by the successful campaign in Manchuria.
Moreover, Russia is not willing to SOL
low the irreconcilable policy of some of the
powers"
The expectation, the publication adds,
Is that the Chinese government is about
TO utilize all its resources of duplicity to
keep the powers occupied with vain nego-
tiations and proposals and the dispatching
OF notes in order to gain time until the
winter, counting on the rigor Of the eli
mate to prevent military operations and
allow China to prepare her resources for
spring campaign.
Execution of Chang-Yen.IoOn.
Washington, Oct. Confirmation has
been received here of the execution on July
20 of Chang Yen Hoon, the former minis
ter to the United States. Chang was a
loyal adherent Of the emperor and warm
supporter of the latter's reform move
ments. When the empress dowager sup
planted the emperor two years ago he
was banished to Nebradoo, but, through
the intervention of the American and
British ministers, his punishment was
commutd to Punishment in the distant
province of Kashgaria. 1t now appears
that the empress dowager, taking advan-
tage OF the late reign of terror at Pekin
and knowing Changes influence with the
emperor, ordered his execution by decapi-
tation
Chang was considered by those familiar
with Chinese affairs as one of the ablest
men in China. He had been decorated by
the queen of Great Britain and by the
emperors of Russia and Germany. He was
pre-eminently the most liberal and en-.
