A late report Of the work now OBJ
tanned from the waste gases Of blast
furnaces Is the following: In Germany,
forty-One engines are run, yielding a
total Of $4,000 horse power; in LuXen-
burg, twelve engines, Of 800 horse
power; Belgium. eight, Of $500 horse
power. France, eight Of $3.50 horse
power; Great Britain, six of 1000 horse
power. This is a general total OF sew

The greatest possible duration OF a
total eclipse OF the sun has been accur-
ately computed by the president OF the
Leeds Astronomical Society, whose de-
termination will succeed a more inn
perfect one made l2S years ago. Five
conditions are necessary to give the
longest totality. The new moon, at or
very near the point where the orbit
crosses that OF the earth, must also be
az its nearest approach TO the earth,
the sum must be at It's greatest dis
lance away; totally should occur at
local noon, with the shadow moving
along a parallel OF latitude. In order
that the diurnal motion OF the observer
may have its full effect in OBTAINING
him within the shadow: the sun and
moon should be in the zenith so that
the shadow may be as large as possible
the observer should be on the equator,
so that his motion may be as rapid as
possible. The fourth and fifth cOndi-
tons cannot occur simultaneously, the
fifth being the more favorable. The
earth's radius, or semi diameter being
taken as 1888, 2s6 miles. and the moons
radius as 1850 miles, It is found that the
maximum totally will be about seven
minutes forty seconds, and the eclipse
should be observed at noon near the
fifth parallel OF north latitude about
the beginning OF July. The longest
eclipse OF the twentieth century viii I
occur June 20. 1855, and viii have a to-
tally OF 7 minutes 245 seconds, the
noon point being at III degrees east
longitude and Is degrees north latitude.

At Baraboo today Congressman j.

solutely without opposition. As the
papers announced some weeks ago,
there is every indication of a Babcock-
LaFollette combination in tle interest

working out tremendously. Mr.
Babcock has clear field, and Mr. La

trols,-at least 1t looks that way The
deal Is one of mutual advantage, and
the extent of its influence upon Wis
consin politics of the future is not easy
to determine. Even United States
senatorships may be in the balance.

nations one of brains, energy and
magnetism whose operations will be

From C0nstantinople Which

Constantinople Replies.
Washington, April 24.-The state
department has received the reply OF
the Turkish government to the latest
representations of the United States
touching the American missionary
claims. The communication was taken
TO the white house by Secretary Hay
and presumably considered by the cab
met at special meeting. Mr.. Straus,
United States minister to Turkey, who
came over from New York for the pur-
pose of comforting with the depart
ment affecting these claims, called at
the state department yesterday and
talked over the last Turkish note with
Secretary Hay before the cabinet meet
ing. The departmnt made no public

beyond the mere announcement that it
was inconclusive and left the subject
still open for discussion. 1t was gath
cred that a very brief outline of the
Turkish response was cabled from Con-
stantinople, to the effect that Ameri-
can claimants must take their position
along with those of other nations and
does not convey accurately the tenor
Of the whole note The opinion pre-
walls in diplomatic circles here that
the assumption the Turkish govern
ment has insisted on of including
American claims with others, is dip
lomatic card of some strength, as such
answer TO the American demand might
be well calculated to deprive the
United States of the sympathy of Eu-
rOpean powers as it places us in a 90
stion of seeking to extort better terms
from the Turks than are to be. ac
corded to claimants of other nations.

nor Senator Quarles placed his argu-
ments on high grounds, declaring that
the constitution was plain and that its
meaning could not be misconstrued
by any who sought proper interpre-
tation OF its provisions.
Much interest was taken in the
speech of Mr.. Quarles and for many
reasons. In the first place his posi-
ton conflicts with that of his senior
colleague, Mr.. Spooner. Then, too,
his views are taken as upholding the
cause Of pure politics Moreover, he
has not tried to rush into prominence.
as Senator Beverage Of Indiana has
done, but has been bidng his time,
thus respecting the traditions Of the
senate. And it was his maiden speech
and he scored new and important
point in the controversy.

amlned the constitutional provision for
the appointment Of senators in cases

constitutional convention TO s1ow

meant when they used the language
which has until this time stood IN

was beyond intelligent contention.

held that great crimes should be pun

right to a seat speeches were deliY-
cred by Messrs Chandler On Hl

ment a vote will be taken today, and
the indications are that the pennsyl-
yania boss win be given a seat in the
senate upon the appointment by the
governor Of the state His friends
claiming a majority of from one 20
