board of Health AnnnSIed by
the Federal Courts.

San Francisco, May 29.-The United
States circuit court of appeals, Judges
Morrow, Hawley and DeHaven sitting
in banc, yesterday issued the injunc-
tion prayed for by the Chinese resi-
dents of this city restraining the board
of health authorities from interfer-
ing with the free movements of the
Mongolian residents of San Francisco
and their freedom in travelling to and
from this city. The complaint of the
Chinese stated that, in enforcing the
terms of resolution adopted by the
board of health declaring that plague
existed in this city, they were re-
strained of their liberties granted
them under the constitution of the
United States and the existing treaties
beween the government of the United
States and the Chinese government;
that the authorities Disseminated
against the Mongolian race in singing
out the Chinese and japanese for the
enforcement of the terms of the reso-
luton; that hafkin propbylactic was
not the proper treatment for persons
already exposed to the plague, and
that neither the board of health nor
the federal authorities had proven
that single case of plague existed in
this city or state. The court sus-
tanned every contention in the COM
plant.

London, May 29.-Replying in the
house of commons, yesterday, to a
question on the subject of Saturdays
naval experiment, when the British
first class battleship Majestic fired
upon and sank the coast defense iron
clad Belle Isle, near Portsmouth, in
nine minutes, the first lord of the ad-
miralty, Geo. j. Goschen, said, to the
extreme surprise of the naval men.
the Belle Isle did not take fire. She was
reported to have been in flames six
minutes after the firing commenced.
lie explained that the spectators, be-
ing at distance from the war ship
were misled by volumes of steam and
iyddite smoke. Mr.. Goschen added that
there was slight smouldering in one
cabin of the Belle Isle, but that other
wise the woodwork, although shat
tered in every direction, was not con-
sumed by fire to any degree.
The experiment was instituted spe-
cially to see whether the woodwork
OF the Belle Isle would burn as the
woodwork of the Spanish ships de-
Stroyed by the Americans had burned.

WITHOUT A CLOUD.
Highly Successful Observations mt
WadesborO, N. &.

WadesborO, N. 4.
Wadesboro, N. c., May 29.-The
eclipse was viewed here without a
cloud to mar the spectacle. Observa-
tions were made by scientists from
the Smithsonian institution at Wash
ington, the English Astronomical So
ciety of London, Yerkes observatory,
Princeton university, Charleston Is
c. Military institute, and represen-
tative from the Toronto Cam Astro-
nomical society was also at work The
eclipse furnished a beautiful sight,
snd the observers unite in pronounce
ing the conditions perfect.
Prof. Barnard, of Yerkes obserya-
tory, stated that the totality period
was slightly shorter than calculated,
which proved the moon tables to be
slightly incorrect. All the principal
work was photographed, and the pro-
gramme was completely carried out.
Many photographs were taken by all
the parties at intervals, and espe-
cially of the corona. Several telescopes
were used in trying to discover more
satellites between the sun and the
planet Mercury.
OF the actual results nothing can
be told for some time. A special train
from Charleston brought 400 persons
to view the eclipse.

LIKE A SOCIAL REVOLUTION
Bill to Permit Mnrrige with n De-
ceased wife's Sister Passes
the House of Lords.

London, May 29.-In the house of
lords yesterday Lord Strathcona and
Mount Royal moved the second read
ing of the colonial bill, permitting the
marriage of man and his deceased
wife's sister.
Earl Halsbury opposed the bill,
which, he said, would alter the law of
inheritance on real property in Great
Britain. The difficulty, he pointed out.
rested in the fact that colonial law
was different from the British law.
The bill passed its second reading
amid cheers, by vote of 116 to 81.
The minority against the marriage
bill included the marquis of Salisbury
and the duke of Abercorn.
The majority included the prince Of
Wales, the duke of Connaught. the
duke of York, the duke of Deyosshire
and the marquis of Landsdc wne.

lone highwayman. 1t is thought that
be either boarded the train here or at
the burlington & Missouri crossing
at Verdon, nine miles north. After
the train left Verdon he entered the
sleeper, and compelled the porter, at
the point of revolver, to precede and
aid him. He had to work fast, as the
train was making up time, and he
only had from ten to fifteen min
utes before the train should slack up
a mile east of Stella. There he
jumped off, keeping the passengers
back at the point OF his revolver, and
escaped. There were not many pas
sengers in the sleeper, and he did not
get much. Among those he encoun-
tered were Travelling Auditor S. G.
Sprague, whom he relieved of his
watch and pocketbook, and Missouri
Pacific Attorney j. w. Orr, who was
compelled to give up his watch, pocket

electrical appliances insured more
complete observations than ever be-
fore known.
Elaborate Preparations.
The United States government and
all great educational institutions
made elaborate and costly prepara-
tions to get the best possible observa-
tions, and millions of dollars were ex-
pended in this way. While great in
terest attached to the eclipse itself,
the object of the astronomers COM
posing the Eclipse expeditions from
all parts of the country was not alone
to observe the passing of the moon be-
for the sun, but the study of the
corona.
An UnsOlved Problem.
This particular branch of the many
phenomena generally attending an
eclipse, has always been an unsolv-
able problem. 1t is the belief of many
astronomers that the corona is prod
uct of the sun, and has nothing to do
with the earth or moon as formerly
suspected. The spectra, one of bright
lines, and the other continuous, have
been revealed at former eclipses. Hy-
drogen gas has been indicated, and a
rare element called helium, recently
detected in the volcanic rocks ON the
earth, has been seen.
The Mystery of the Corona.
OF whatever substance the corona
may be composed, and whatever may
be the true nature of its physical and
chemical construction, it is certain it
is of extreme tenuity. SO rare is it
that comets, in then swift flight
around the sun, have been known to
pass through it without sensible re-
sistance. Surrounding the sun is a
gaseous substance termed by astrono-
mers the "Chromosphere." 1t is be-
lieved to be from five TO ten thou
sand miles deep.
Projecting through this chromos-
phere are observed with total
eclipses, the shoots, or limbs, which
rise often TO height of 100000 miles
with amazing rapidity. To the ac-
curate observation of this paramount
feature of the eclipse, every appliance
of the instrument makers art, COM
bined with the astronomers knowl-
edge was directed in the hope of
reaching a solution of this philoso-
piers stone. Generally speaking, the
observations taken by the astrono-
mers were confined to three separate
lines of work-the old method of tele-
scopic observations; viewing of the
eclipse with the naked eye, and the
photographing of the phenomena of
the eclipse.

The Path of Totally.

The path of totality began in the
Pacific ocean, just west of Mexico. 1t
passed eastward across Mexico, and
entering the United States near New
Orleans, proceeded in a nortnwesterly
direction until it left the continent
close to Norfolk, Va. Then 1t crossed
the Atlantic, touched Portugal, and
afterward passed across northern Af-
rica, ledving the earth finall near the
northern end of the Red sea- In this
country the cities of New Orleans,
Mobile, Montgomery, Raleigh and
Norfolk were in the totality path.
Besides these cities the path of dark
ness included 30 other towns which
are large enough to have their names
on the map.
