From the washington Times.
Jupiter is much the biggest member of
the family of stars which revolve around
our sun. Consequently, says London An
swers, the power of his attraction Is
greater than that possessed, for instance
by the earth. Jupiters exploits as a
burglar have caused very considerable
annoyance and inconvenience to astrono-
mers in the days before his powers were
fully recognized
In ITO there appeared a fine comet
which was found to have an elliptical
orbit around the sun of so comparatively
small size that Mr.. Lexell, its discov-
erer, calculated 1t would return in five
and half years. But In 1775 telescopes
were vainly focused on the spot where
1t was expected to reappear, and again
In 1871 It disappointed all observers Mr..
Lexell plunged into fresh calculations
and after much research found that Ju-
piter was the culprit. The unfortunate
comet had been rash enough to plunge
into the sphere of the giant planets at
traction, with the result that 1t had been
completely diverted from Its former or
bit. and flung off into quite different
one of a twenty years period. 1t has
never been seen again by anyone on this
earth and probably never Will be-
Jupiter was also responsible for the
delay which occurred in the return of
that splendid visitant known as Halley's
comet. HALEY found that he was not the
first discoverer of this big comet. 1t had
appeared at least twice previously. once
seventy-five years before. and again
seventy-six years before that. The as
| tronomer concluded that there would be
| a further delay in it's third return, and
predicted that its next appearance would
! be SIS days later. He did not live to see
| it, but in 175S. the year he had prophe-
| sled for its temperance. astronomers
were waiting for 1t.
But they waited for more than three
months before it did actually appear.
and then found that it was the planet

AUSTRIA is PLEASED.
Exercised Her Right In the Selection
of the New Pope.

Vienna, August ia semi official
communication explains that Austria ex-
ercised her right of veto at the recent
conclave, with the view of securing the
election Of a pacific ana conciliatory
pope"
1.-The election of Plus X" says the
eommunique, who Is conciliatory, yet
firm, has been received everywhere with
unanimous satisfaction, and has given
ground for the hope that no friction or
political considerations will arise preju-
dicial to the sublime mission of the
church. 1t was to our interest that an
election should be prevented, which, ac-
cording to recent experiences, might lead
to differences which would upset the
relations of the church and state. 1t is
unnecessary to add that the action OF
the Austro- Hungarian government was
not Influenced by any other power"

ing the streets of Benwood were the scene
of wild riot The striking machinists and
the non-union men who replaced them at

crowd of strikers. He was badly cut and
bruised about the head and shoulders and
is in a serious condition. This was follow
ed by two other assaults upon non-union

SEVEN ARE NOW DEAD.
Awful Work Of a Maniac Who Fired
Into a Crowd.

Winfield, Kan, August 15.-Seven per-
sons are now dead as a result of the
maniacal deed of Gilbert Twigg, who fired
into the crowd at a band concert here
on Thursday night Twigg and three Of
his victims died within a short time. Those
who have since succumbed are Port Smith,
Dawson Bilitir and Roy Davis, boy. Ell
mer Farnsworth and Otis Carter are
dying, while Claud Reed, Charles Thomas
and James Clarkson are in a critical con-
dition.
A score OF others are badly hurt.
A letter has been found among the
effects of Twigg, which indicates that he
planned the massacre some days ago.
He wrote that he had harmed no man
and had never violated the laws of his
country, and that the deed he was about
to perpetrate was for the purpose of get
ting even" with those who had Stunned
him and Interested themselves unneces-
sarily in his affairs. He expressed regret
that he did not settle his account with

A Buried Secret.

From the London Express.
DR.. Fillippow, the editor and publisher
of a Russian scientific review, died sud
denly a few days ago from an accident
in his laboratory
The day before his death he had sent
a letter to the editor of an important
Moscow daily paper. stating that he had
for years been engaged in trying to dis
cover some substance of power, which
should make war totally impossible and
had succeeded in finding a substance by
which 1t was possible to control the
working of an explosion at a distance of
many thousands of miles.
The editor on receipt Of this letter
went to the laboratory Of the scientist,
intending to try to obtain some further
particulars from him, but to his horror,
he found him lying dead on the floor.

are now assigned as follows: Company
T at Tucuman. a cable station; Compa-
MES A, B, c, d. @, K, /, l., M at Mala-
bang; Companies e and II at Parang,
which is few hours sail south of Mala-
bang. Headquarters is established at
Malabang, with Companies G, L, and M
and K at Mataling Falls, and the others
at Camp Wears.
Malabang is situated about three miles
from the coast The town is half mile
from the post and bears the same name.
The town was not inexistence year ago.
The Twenty infantry and the Fiji
tenth cavalry were fighting the Moros,
and as the Moros drifted towards the
lakes the friendly ones stayed behind and
the town sprung up. With the Moros
who surrendered are Chinese, Japanese
and a few Hindoos, also some Filipinos
from Manila and near lying Islands.
Mataling Falls Is situated about nine
miles up the mountains from Malabang
and a company Is stationed there to guard
the bridge, as the Moros would destroy the
structure. Camp Wears is still further up
the mountain, about eight miles from Mat
aling Falls, and the road is very bad, as
the heavy rains cause washouts all the
time. Natives are working all the time to
keep the road open for wagon trains,
which leave Malabang twice week. This
Is the only way at nr, sent to transport
stores of any kind from Malabang to
Camp Vicas and Mataling Falls.
The lakes are within a few miles of
Camp Wears and previous to the Twenty
third coming there It was very danger
Gus post. as the hostile Moros would come
in on the outpost nearly every night. 1ney
still try this, but as yet no one has been
killed or caught sleeping. The Moros cut
the arm off with their bolo that carries
the rifle. This Is all they care for, as the
sultan would make them datto and give
them money for every rifle captured. You
would be surprised to see the way the
Moro men and women dress. 1t is far
D-fferent from the people of the West
Indies. consider the West Indians bet
ter class In all respects. The women wear
pantaloons or a cloth ring around them
selves like the men, and all have their
teeth blackened. Since the Americans
came to Malabang they do not blacken
their children's teeth.
OF course, I would like to send you
some pictures of same, but must state 1t
is impossible for me to get them, as there
is no photographer here.
We have nothing to do with the town,
as there is a presidente there, with native
policemen. During the day they carry
clubs and at night rifles with a belt of
ammunition containing fifty rounds. The
weather here is very hot during the day,
and 1t generally rains hard along toward
evening. The night are cool.

Washington, August 15.-By direction OF
Secretary Cortelyou the supervising in
spector general of the steamboat inspec-
ton service has written all the local in
spectors of steam vessels in the second
district, from Bath, Me-, to Philadelphia
giving explicit instructions as to the pat

This follows the recent action of the
department of commerce and labor in en-
joining on the local inspectors and par
ticularly upon the supervising inspector
at New York, the necessity of taking ev-
cry precaution against the overcrowdins
of excursion steamers. Secretary Cor
telyou has promulgated the rules and reg

as those for the races two years ago.

JEFFRlES EARNS $3s,728.
Jim Corbett's Share of the Big Stake
Amounts to $1o,91o.

San Francisco, Cal, August 15.-Ac-

There was practically very little money
bet on the fight at the local pool rooms.
The heaviest money wagered was by
friends of Jeffries, who came up from
Southern California to see the champion
win. Nearly all the money bet went at
the odds of to 1 In Jeffries favor. The
reason given for so little betting is gem
orally conceded to be that the betting
public had very little confidence in Cor
belts chances.
