Is the first of the astronomers who wit
messed that eclipse to pass through
here. Mr.. Dyson was sent from the
Greenwich Observatory in company
with two other men by the British
government.
THE expedition" he said this morn

VNof people of which the Americans pre-

cans present, four English, four Dutch,
two French, one Russian and three
Japanese. While the results obtained
were not so satisfactory as had been
Nhoped still some of the members of the
expeditions Jared better than the
others.
"Our work was done near Panang.

along a narrow space about 120 miles
in length. In order to be certain that
we would photograph the occurrence
we divided our parties into detaeh-

along this space. In the majority OF
instances the weather was very bad. II
