San Jose, Cal. Aug. Director w.
 w, Campbell, of the Lick observatory,
 announced to-day that the faint period ic comet discovered by Professor
 Brooks. of Geneva, N. ", in 1889 has again been found. with. the thirty-six-
 inch equatorial, about five minutes of
 Arc from it's predicted place. It is of the fourteenth magnitude and therefore
 requires a telescope twelve inches or
 more in diameter to see it.
 The new star discovered by Turner.
 of Oxford, in the constellation Gemini last March was systematically observed
 here and elsewhere until May, when the
 sun reached the part of the sky in which it is situated The sun now hav- ing passed to the eastward sufficiently to permit observations to be resumed,
 Dr. Curtis this morning reobserved the star and found it to be of the tenth magnitude. The spectroseopic observa- tions made in the spring showed that the spectrum Of the star was gradually changing and assuming the character of the spectrum of 8 nebula. This mornings observations show that the change to the nebulous state is com plete. %y& {@ .~5 <5x

 purchase of iron ore lands on the Me-
 saba range, Minnesota, by the United
 States Steel corporation, which has
 been reported occasionally since the first of the year, and which was com
 pleted some months ago. was verified
 to-day by local officials of the corpora
 tion. By this purchase the steel cor
 poration takes off the market the last large single block of ore property iii
 the Mesaba range which is for sale.
 It is stated that the importance of the purchase cannot be overestimated. Tn all about 70,000, ,000. tons of excellent quality of ore. much of it high grade
 bessemer, has been measured up on the land acquired, and 1t is estimated that
 an even larger yield will be obtained. The properties were purchased from the holdings of the Chemung Iron com pany of Duluth, The lands are mostly leased properties, on a basis of 25 cents a ton royalty which is considered to give the steel corporation an immense addition to it's ore reserves at no undue cost.

 Against Him.

Georgetown, Ky. Aug. 2O.-As eyi- dence in the case of Caleb Powers, his counsel this afternoon filed the deposit ton of former Governor ". s. Taylor of Kentucky, now fugitive in Indian apolis, Ind.
 The deposition contains general de nial by Taylor of the charges against him in the indictment returned in the Franklin court of complicity in the murder of William Goebel and also de- nial of any knowledg of the complcity of any others indicted, or charged, or of anyone in the alleged conspiracy to assassinate Goebel or any other mem- Der of the general assembly of 1900. He denies that he had any of the incrim- mating conversations alleged to have been had with him by commonwealth witnesses, w. H. Culton, Wharton Golden, Frank Cecil and Robert Noakes and adds that he never saw or talked to Cecil in his life. K The deponent denies that the bring ing of the armed body of men from the mountains on January 25. 1900, was for other purposes than peacefully to peti- tion the legislature. He. declares that, so far as he knew. they were orderly and well behaved and that they return ed home the night of the day of their arrival for the sole reason that they had accomplished their one purpose, to assemble on the steps of the state capi- toI and petition the legislature not to rob the men they had voted for as the
 l,1 deponent takes on himself the responsi- bility for their coming. He declares Caleb Powers to be innocent so far as he knows of any complicity in the mur- der of Goebel and says it was for that reason that he gave him a pardon. He says he never saw James Howard un- til after the death of Goebel and never gave him a pardon for that or any other crime. The reading of the dispositions will be concluded tomorrow.

BIG FIRE IN MILFORD.
Three Large Harms Belonging to A. N.
 Clark Destroyed

Milford. Conn, Aug. 20 Three large barns belonging to Alburtus N. Clark, a prominent seedman. were burned to- night causing a loss Of approximately s2o,DoO part of which is covered by insurance The origin of the blaze is not known.
 The Clark farm is situated about three miles from this village and about one and a half miles from Orange Gen. ter. and is therefore at a considerable distance from any fire fighting appa- aratus. The people of the neigh hberhood, however. turned out and worked vig- orously succeeding in saving the house which was but a few feet from the barns.
 The fire was discovered by MT. Clark, who was awakened about 10 Q clock by smoke entering his bedroom. One of the barns was at that time almost envelop- led in flames. and the other two, which were connected with 1t soon caught ire. MT. Clark is at a loss to account for the blaze. Half an hour before he was awakened neighbors passed the place and they saw no sign of fire. Material assistance in fighting the flames was rendered by Frank Barnes of New Ha- ven. who when hos was wanted from Milford came to this village for it in his automobile. He got the hose and was back at the scene of the fire in eighteen minutes after he left it. In the barns was a large quantity of valuable seeds. fifty tons of hay and 20 tons os grain. all of which was burned.

 formation, copies of two letters, sent to

 In the letter of the 14th the president quoted the finding of the anthracite coal strike commission regarding the em- ployment of labor, as follows: It is adjudged and awarded that no lperson shall be refused employment or l in any way discriminated against on IaceouTt of membership or non-member- ! lship In any labor organization, and that there shall be no discrimination against or interference with any enploye who is inot member of any labor organization

 handled in accordance with the prin- ciple thus clearly and fearlessly enun-
 ciated. Governor Odell Of New York, will be

No sooner had she filled away than the Re- liance bore down upon her from wind ward position and hauled on the wind alongside of her in a position to blanket the challenger. Captain Wringe, of Shamrock III. promptly wore ship and bore away from the Reliance, refusing to take part in the brush.
 The New York Yacht club regatta committee tug established 8 line be- tween the Sandy Hook lightship and herself at 10:30 and signalled that the race would be fifteen miles to windward and return, the first leg south-south- west.

 According to the Turkish official re- ports the strongest positions of the ir1- surgents are at Krushevo, Merihoro and Florina. Contrary to previous re- ports 1t is now stated officially that Krushevo is still occupied by the in surgents
 The headquarters of the revolutions ists are in the eristeri mountains. irl the vicinity of Monastir.
