OF his arrival at the exposition. Returning
rather late to the hotel, the night clerk
learned OF his presence by answering a
telephone call from Mr. Smiths room for ice
water. 1t seems that he had concluded from
the entry on the register that the occupant
Of the room was none other than the Post
master General, and SO told a reporter OF
one OF the Buffalo papers. The latter pro-
ceeded to call UP the alleged cabinet officer
ON the telephone. and when Mr.. Smith an
swered 1t and found a mistake was made
he merely replied In a general way to the
questions put to him. and did not tell the
reporter that he was not talking to the Mr..
Smith he supposed he was. An interview
appeared In the paper the next morning
with Postmaster General Smith, but the
reported observations Of that distinguished
member Of the cabinet were not important.
Mr.. E. Quincy Smith is not impressed
with the section OF the duties of the Post
master General with which he has. In a
measure. thus become acquainted. and un-
less there are considerations which would
outweigh his objections he Is of the opin-
ion that he does not care to be Postmaster
General

Request for Conference by Former
Shop Employees Denied.
Since the conference between Vice Presi-
dent and General Manager F. S. Cannon
Of the Southern Railway Company and a
committee of machinists employed In the
shops OF the company, held in this city
May ~. and which resulted in strike OF
the shop employees Of the road. several ef-
forts have been made by the men to secure
an audience with President Samuel Spen-
Ger Of that road.
The correspondence on this subject be-
tween Mr.. Spencer and representatives Of
the strikers shows that Mr.. Gannon's pro-
cedure in at once discharging the strikers
has been upheld by the company. 1t also
shows that hte company has filled the
places of the strikers to the extent of 20
per cent and has a sufficient force to do all
shop work
Mr.: Spencer says, in reply to the last re-
quest for conference, made July 30, by B.
F. Henry, district president of the ma
chinists at Knoxville, Tenn:
eff you were employees I should be
pleased to take up with you any reasonable
question affecting your interests. AS you
are not, and as your letter mentions no
subject for consideration. except such as
pertain to the relations of employer and
employe, l see nothing to be accomplished
by such meeting as you propose. and can

Schley over the management of the West
Indian campaign. particularly the battle Of
Santiago.
Considerable surprise was expressed at
this publication, as it had been generally
supposed that Admiral Hewison was en-
trely unbiased IN the controversy, and had
never expressed any opinion on the sub
ject.
Acting Secretary Hackett declined to dis
cuss the matter for publication except to
say that no official cognizance of the pub
lication would be taken by the Navy De-
partment, unless it is presented by Ad-
miral Schley, or in some other official man.
ner.
So far as can be learned, the subject has
not been presented to the department. In
any form up to this time. 1t IS recalled
that, when the announcement Of Admiral
Howison's appointment was made, Mr..
Hackett stated that that officer had in
formed the department that he had never
committed himself one way or the other
as to the merits of the Sampson Schley
controversy. 1t was also stated a. that
time that Admiral Schley had indicated
that the appointment Of Admiral Hovrison
was entirely agreeable to him.
In view of these statements, it is not con-
sidered likely that the Navy Department
will reconsider its action in the matter, un-
less Admiral Schley or his representative,
make formal protest against Admiral How
ison's serving as a member Of the court of
inquiry.
1t is expected that Rear Admiral Remey,
commanding the Asiatic station. who has
just returned to Manila from a visit to
Australia aboard the Brooklyn, will be re-
called to the United States for the purpose
OF testifying before the Schley court of In
quiry.
During the exciting period Of the Span
ish war, Admiral Remey was in command
OF the naval station at Key West and all
orders from the department to Admiral
Sampson and all reports from that officer
and his assistants. passed through Admiral
Remeys hands. AS one officer expressed
1t, Admiral Remey was the halfway sta
ton between the Navy Department and
Admiral Sampson during the entire period
covered by the controversy.
1nasmuch as all these orders and reports
are included in the official records, It is
possible that Admiral Remeys personal at
tendance may be deemed unnecessary. In
case. however. he Is needed as q witness,
he will be succeeded in command Of the
station by Rear Admiral Rodgers the next
rankin gofficef on the station

PROF. c. G. ABBOT BACK
WENT TO suMArn4 TO OBSERVE
SOLAR ECLIPSE.
Unfortunate cosaitio4 Of the VeatAer
Prevented aluasle ob.erva-
tions sy scie.tists.

Prof. G.. G. Abbat, who went to Sumatra
for the Smithsonian Institute to observe
the eclipse of the Sun May is, has returned
to the city after an absence of six months.
Unfortunately the dayfof the eclipse at
Solok. Sumatra, was ciosdy, and no obser-
vations were made
At the same station was also located
large number Of the representatives OF the
naval observatory, and they, OF course
had no opportunity to secure data. A smail
part Of the naval observatory party was
located at Fort De Kock, where, during
portion Of the time Of the eclipse, they had
clear sky and were able TO take some IN
teresting photographs OF the corona
party from Greenwich observatory was
located on an island IN the Indian ocean,
and its members had the good fortune to
have clear weather, which probably en-
abled them to make better series or oo-
servations than an yother party. Prof. Ao-
bott planned to photograph the region OF
the sky around the sun, to discover II pos
sible whether there are any planets nearer
that body than Mercury and also to meas
ure the radiation of the solar corona with
barometer. to throw light, If possible, on
the nature of the corona.
The station at Solok was the cioud1est
station during the eclipse of any OF the
stations occupied by astronomers, although
it had better prospects for success than
any other locality.
The next eclipse Of the sun will be In
1904, when the duration Of total eclipse Will
be about six minutes, the same duration or
the eclipse of May Is. The area over
which this event can be observed will be
almost wholly over the Pacific ocean. and
perhaps will give no opportunity for lnstru-
mental observations.
The area of eclipse touches South Amer
lea. Throughout the entire area where
valuable observations could be taken there
are but one or two small islands, and they
are not even wei located for securing good
results. In 1905 there will be another total
eclipse which will last about three minutes
and will be visible in Labrador and in
Spain. Ample opportunity will then be had
for careful observations.
In speaking Of the expedition Prof. Alb
bot said to Star reporter today that the
light during the eclipse was much stronger
than he had anticipated. He said during
the totality it was no darker than he has
frequently observed on rainy day.

NEW LINE OF STEAMERS,
Chesapeake Beach and CIafbOrn
ROute-suggested Advantages.

Chesapeake Beach and Claiborne
ROute-Suggested Advantages.
According to statement made today to
Star reporter by Mr.. Otto Mears, the
president Of the Chesapeake Beach Rail-
way Company, arrangements have been
made to establish a line of steamers be-
tween Chesapeake Beach and Claiborne,
on the opposite shore Of Chesapeake bay.
This undertaking is a part of the trans
pOrtation plans Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company, Mr.. Mears states, and It is
intended to run steamers from Cheasa-
peake Beach to Claiborne to connect at
that point with its railroad line to Ocean
City. Md.
between Baltimore and Claiborne, and
WashingtOnians wishing to go to Ocean
City make the trip via Baltimore The pro-
posed new route via Chesapeake Beach will
make saving in point of time Of about
hours.
The new service is not to be established.
Mr.. Mears says, until the canal at Chesa-
peake Beach is dredged out, so that there
will be sufficient depth for the boats to
come In to the shore. Otherwise he SAYS.
the vessels would have to come to the head
of the pier, and 1t was thought that on ao-
count Of the piers length this would not be
a public convenience.
It Is expected, Mr.. Mears says to cut
during the coming winter the logs that win
be needed for piling, and next season the
new service will be In readiness.

William Brawner Acquitted.
William Brawner, the proprietor Of sa-
loon near the Stone bridge, was before
Mayor Simpson In the police court this
morning on the charge Of selling liquor on
Sunday. Mrs. Florence Cornwell. who re-
sides at the corner Of Duke and Peyton
streets. appeared as complainant. She tes-
tilted to having seen gangs OF tramps visit
Brawner's place on Sunday and carry away
beer kegs From her residence she could
see the men going In and out of the place.
Being questioned by the mayor, Mrs Corn
we'll said she could not swear positively
that the stuff carried away was beer or
that the tramps had paid for 1t, but she
asserted that the men would return drunk,
and she created some amusement by sur
missing that the defendant had not made
the contents OF the beer kegs present to
his Sabbath visitors. Mayor Simpson said
that the evidence was not sufficiently strong
to justify a conviction, and the case was
dismissed. Brawner, however, was warned
against keeping disorderly place, and was
told by the court that II further complaints
OF similar nature were made against him
he would be punished.
