The SUNS ECLIPSE.
1t Was Observed By Many Persons In
Santa Fe.

With squirting eyes and smoked
glass in hand, great many people
watched the partial eclipse of the sun
this morning. The shadow made its ap-
pearance little after sunrise, and
| gradually made an under cut from the
| southwest until at $3.50 it was at full
| height. At that moment the great orb
of day presented the unusual appear
| ance of perfect crescent. Meanwhile
a blue haze enveloped the mountains,
and it seemed to be apparent even to
the dumb animals that there was
something the matter with the sum-"
If in it's path of totality the sky and
air were anything as bright and clear
as at Santa Fe the scientific watchers
must have seen wonders about the sun
this morning.
The path of the total eclipse was from
about New Orleans, where the whole
face of the sun was obscured for one
minute and sixteen seconds northeast
erly through Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia, the Carolinas, to Norfolk, Va. ;
in the mid-Atlantic at noon; at Oporto,
Portugal at $3.50 p. M; at Alicante, or
the east coast of SPAIN at 4:1O p. m.,
and at Tripoli, in Barbary at $40 p. m.
The longest duration of the total
eclipse was nearly, two minutes and a
quarter. This, unfortunately, occurred
in midocean.
A scientific writer says: "In so far as
stellar objects alone are concerned, to-
tai eclipses occurring in June are the
most brilliant because the bright stars
Of Taurus Gemini and Orion will gener-
ally be visible near the sun. Often,
however. the confgurations of the more
conspicuous planets will have more to
do with this element of totality than all
the fixed stars put together. The
eclipse of the 2Sth of May, 1900, Is a
case in point. In addition to the starry
clusters of the Pleiades and Hyades,
Venus and Mars are plainly visible, and
Mercury is close alongside the sun,
within the actual rays Of the corona it.

Senekal, May 27.-General Rumble oc-

numbered eleven. The Beers are be-
lieved to be concentrating near Bethle-

MARCHING ON JOHANNESBURG.
London, May 2S.-Although the feder-
ais are said to be preparing for strong
resistance at the Kip river, those who
have most closely followed the progress
of the war since the British and Boer
skeptical as to the burghers' seriously
disputing Lord Roberts advance even
there. If no stand is made at the Kip
river the safety of the Boer guns at
Laing's Mex will be seriously imperiled,
for there will be nothing to prevent
Roberts from seizing the Johannesburg
and Laing's Mex railroad. Indeed, it is
already reported that the railroad has
been cut and it is quite possible that
the first official news will record the oc-
cupation of Heidelberg. Roberts may
be forced to halt at the Vaal river to
repair the bridge and get his guns and
transport across, but mounted men will
not be delayed. 1t Is said in high quar-
ters that the speedy announcement of
the arrival of British cavalry at Jo-
hannesburg will not surprise the war
office. A dispatch from Mafeking, dated
May %, says that the total casualties
since the commencement of the siege
were 803,

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY SEES 1T.
Fort Monroe, Va, May 2S.-The sun
was totally eclipsed at 1858 o'clock in
'cloudless sky. Thousands Of people
crowded the piers, verandas and ram
parts to watch the marvellous phenom-
enon. At the moment the sun was sud
denly snuffed out an involuntary cheer
arose, and every vessel in the roads
whistled an accompaniment. The pc
rod of totality was about thirty Sec
onds, during which time a tiny star
hing inst below the magnificent corona
which glowed around the inky disk.
Twilight settled on land and water, and
the skies took on wonderful after
sunset tint. Then, as though by magic,
a star of fire blazed out of the southern
boundary disk and the eclipse was over.
The president and party watched the
phenomenon from the Dolphin, near
Lambert's Point; Secretary Gage and
party from the lighthouse tender Holly.

Half Day In Arguing It,

Chicago, May 2S.-The Methodist gen
eral conference to-day took unexpect
ed action in regard to the committee
reports on card playing. dancing ant
other prohibited amusements. The Off

was accepted recommending no actor
was announced as 1888 yeas and 29t
nays. On motion of DR.. Buckley, the
minority report was laid on the table
by vote of 256 to 253. Bishop Fitzger-
aid then ruled the question no longer
before the house, so the standing Of the
Methodist church the next four years
regarding amusements will be un-
changed.
Samuel Dickie, of Michigan, present
ed the report of the committee on tenn
perance, which said: I'VE are cha
grined, humiliated, exasperated by the
puerile and absurd construction placed
on the anti-canteen law by the attor-
ney general of the United States, and
with all due respect of his exalted sta
ton, we record the fact that we are
panied and disappointed at the course
Of the president in accepting as final
and satisfactory his opinion without
binding force. Such abuse of power is
notification in its most dangerous form.
Upon the president, as chief Of our
army, rests the responsibility for the
existence of the canteen saloon, an evil
which he has ample power to suppress;
a more deadly foe OF the soldier than
bullet or tropical heat"
DR.. J. r. Price. of New York. present
ed the minority report, which struck
out all Of the majority report in which
President Mckinley is condemned. The
conference debated the proposed CEN
sure Of the president all forenoon.
DR.. Buckley offered an amendment
to the minority report, which was ac-
cepted by DR.. Price. which. among 9TH
er things. appealed to the president to
use his influence to promote the pas
sage of an amended anti-canteer law
now before congress. The minority re-
port, with Buckley's amendment. was
adopted by an overwhelming vote. with
a further amendment that the action
was not In the interest Of any political
party.
