THE ECLIPSE IN WILMINGTON.
The Maximum Observation Was at
SAGA O'Clock - The Phenomena
Watched by Thousands of People.

The eclipse of the sun yesterday
morning was the all-absorbing object
of interest and the topic of conversa-
ton in this city. The weather condi-
tions We're ideal for observing the phe-
nomena, and thousands of people in all
parts of the city were out with glasses
of various kinds taking observations.
From observations taken by Mr.. w.
H. Fallon, weather observer, it was
ascertained that the maximum OBJ
Scuration of the sun was at S:46: 4
O'Clock. AT no time during the prog
res Of the eclipse was the darkness
greater that an early dusk. 1t was
necessary to light lamps indoors in
many buildings, however.
People who arrived here via the Sea-
board Air Line at noon yesterday, hav-
ing left Hamlet at 500 o'clock, said
that soon after leaving Hamlet it be-
came necessary to light the lamps in
the coaches of the train, and the stars
were plainly visible. In the telegraphic
columns of this issue will be found re-
ports of the eclipse from many points,
which the readers will find of especial
interest and Importance.

FILIPINOS SURRENDER.
Two Companies with their Arms and
Ammunition Surrender.

Washington, May 2s-The war de-
partment has received the following
cables from General Macarthur at Ma
Mia, dated today:
Three officers, fifty-siX men with
forty-six rifles surrendered uncondi-
tionally at Cuyapo yesterday. Three
officers, forty-six men, with fifty-five
rifles surrendered unconditionally to-
day at Tarlac. These spontaneous sur
renders are very encouraging"
General Corbin said that General
MacArthur's dispatch showed that the
situation in the Philippines is improv-
ing. The present policy OF the army,
he said, is to disarm and not 10 kill
the Filipino insurgents, and that OBJ
jects is being facilitated by the action
of the Filipino captains in getting their
men together and surrendering in n
body. In such cases the men get re-
ceipts for their arms and ammunition
There is no longer any organized re
sistance he says, and the only trouble
comes from bands of guerrillas. who
swoop down on the unprotected ma
tives, steal all they can lay their hands
on and run with their booty before
the troops can reach them. These ma
rauderS receive no mercy from the
troops and are shot down whenever
caught looting their terroriZed coun-
tryTnen. Every effort is being made
to disperse these bands and TO get con-
troll of all the arms and ammunit-
in the islands as an essential prelin :
nary to the establishment of a cif il
government. With their supply OF an
munition cut off, the bandits and gu
rillas would become practically ham,
less and their capture easily effected
through the help Of the friendly na-
tives, who would no longer have cause
to follow them. Consequently, the VOL
untary surrender of insurgent bodies
with their arms and ammunition is.
very encouraging to the administra-
ton officials

ANOTHER FAILURE.
Seymour, Johnson & Co, New York
Cotton and Stock Brokers, Assign.


New York, May 2S.-The failure of
Seymour, Johnson & Co. was announc-
ed today on the New York stock and
cotton exchanges. Mr.. Johnson is
quoted as saying: 1--WE have about
s475,000 of loans outstanding, we'll Sc
cured by margins of 20 to 80 per cent.
Banks holding these loans have been
advised by the assignee to buy in the
stock"
The failure did not come as total
surprise to the cotton trade and caught
very few houses with claims against
that concern. The house had just TAX
en- over the wire service abandoned
by Price, Mccormick & Co. While
the firm was reported to have made
large profits on the break in cotton
which wrecked Price, Mccormick &
Co., it is said to have been caught
heavily short on the recent rally of %
points.
Cotton houses were carefully to keep
all accounts thoroughly margined,
which explains the comparative indif-
ference with which the failure was re-
ceived A drop of points was imme-
diately followed by a full reaction,
after which normal conditions obtained
on change.
Alfred Hays, Jr., is the assignee and
Coudert Brothers counsel. 1t is said
that the troubles of the firm are due
to commitments in the cotton market.
They had been long Of cotton, but
turned to the short side two weeks
ago. In the stock market they have
been bears. The extent of ther con-
tracts is not believed to be large. Ru-

The semi-weekly messenger., 1900-06-01

Washington May 2S.-Assistant Sec
sretary Hackett is Informed that the
cruiser Prairie arrived in Brunswick
yesterday after a weeks successful
cruise with the Georgia naval militia.
According to the original plan the
Prairie was next to have gone to Will
mington, N. c., to take the naval mill
tia of that state out on weeks prac-
tice at sea but this purpose has been
abandoned because of the notification
from the North Carolina militia that
they have not been able to get a suffi-
cient number of men together for the
drill and consequently do not care to
make the cruise.
The naval militia of Virginia, which
was the next organization to drill, ac-
cording to the original schedule, also
has withdrawn it's acceptance of the
departments offer.
The consequence Of these Withdrawals
is that months time is lost in the
seasons programme and there will be
no practice cruises from now until
June 22nd, next, when the Pennsyl-
vania naval militia will embark on the
Prairie at Philadelphia.
