CHAIRMAN QUINN A CAR.

John 2. Quinn of Peoria, who presid-
ed over the convention both as tempo
rary and permanent chairman, paid
absolutely no attention to men or mo-
tions when they did not jibe with the
interest of the Hopkins party. and in
one instance at least he declared a
motion carried before the Hearst and
Harrison people had voted upon it. The
committee on RESOLUTIONS finished its
work early. but il was decided by the
chairman TO withhold it until he knew
what action the Hearst people would
take on the report of the committee on
credentials. The report of the commit
tee on credentials said simply:
We believe everything done by the
State Central Committee in seating and
unseating delegates was just and prop
er, and we recommend that its work
be Endorsed"
The report was adopted. Chairman
Quinn refusing the demand of the Har-
rison and Hearst delegates for a roll
call.
Pending the arrival Of the committee
on resolutions a motion was carried
directing the committee to proceed
with the nomination of candidates for
State officers.
William Prentiss Of Chicago, who
was a candidate for Governor, ad-
vanced to the front OF the platform
and declared passionately that he de-
sired nothing from the convention,
which did not in his opinion, repre-
sent the Democracy Of Illinois. and he
wished for nothing at Its hands.
Il decline to have my name sub
mitted 10 this convention in any man
ner," he shouted, and walked off the
platform, followed by the cheers Of
the Hearst delegates.

Lawrence B. Stringer Of Lincoln and
Clarence S. DaTrow of Chicago were

acclamation.
A feature Of the platform is that
woman suffrage is approved in the fol-
lowing plank:
whereas. Illinois women are an important
part Of the citizenship Of the State bearing

shells with copper bands. Scratches
on these shells. Russian artillerymen
say, indicate that they were fired from
worn-out guns. 1t is evident that the

increase the number of their guns, and
in view of their lack of quick-firing
artillery they are bringing up guns
of old construction. This is confirmed
by statements made by Chinese that
large numbers of worn-out cannon
are in Liaoyang.

In these systems the periods of revo-
luton vary from one or two days, as
a minimum, to a few years, as mix
imum. For example, in the case Of
the North Pole star. the bright star
and an invisible companion revolve
around each other in a period of four
days, and this binary system and a
second invisible component revolve
around each other in from ten to TWEEN
ty years. Easily the most interest
ing of all stellar systems thus far
studied is that of Castor as described
above 1t does not follow that the two
invisible members of this quadruple
system are really dark bodies. If they
are two or three magnitudes fainter
than the bright components they would

lost in that of the principal stars.

PARIS, Nov. 26.-In the Chamber
of Deputies to-day Foreign Minister
Delcasse protested against the crit
icism of the Franco Russian alliance
in the report of the Committee on
number of allusions unfavorable to
Russia. Referring to these, Delcasse
said:
Never has the alliance been more
necessary and beneficial. Never has
there arisen a better occasion for pro-
claiming Frances unwavering fidel-
ity to the alliance. which has so pow
erfully safeguarded the mutual inter-
ests of the two countries
This is significant of the firm atti-
tude of the Government against the
Socialist opposition to Russia.
The committees report contains the
following specific statement in con-
nection with the Russo-Japanese war:
Already Japan has made known
the conditions on which she is ready
to close hostilities. These consist in
the return of Manchuria to China, the
dismantling of Port Arthur and the
establishment of Korean independ-
ence, with the right of Japan to ac-
quire land. Russia's refusal of the
foregoing conditions shows it is her
purpose to carry on the conflict to the
end"
When correspondent inquired at
the Foreign Office what authority
there was for the statement it was
explained that the conditions were not
officially made known by the Japan
ese Government, but by the japanese
Commercial Association, which is in
strong favor with the Government
Therefore it was believed to reflect

LONDON, Nov. 26.-Baron Suye-

President of the Japanese Privy Coun-
ell. whose comment was fully indorsed
by Baron Hayashi, the Japanese Min
lister here. discussing the irritation of
Japan, at the continued supply of Brit
ish coal to vessels of the Russian Sec
ond Pacific squadron, said to-day:
We feel strongly that Europe is
general in assisting Russia In a way
we never contemplated. Even in Eng
land individuals are rendering much
indirect assistance. Although l. do
not think that the Japanese are un-
duly nervous regarding the effect of
the arrival of the Russian squadron
in the Far East, it would never have
been able to put to sea but for the
assistance of subjects of neu-
tral states, in some cases more
or less officially connived at.
Without English coal the Russian
squadron could not have gone far and
1t is my belief that, when contraband
trade is being carried on in such
wholesale fashion. the Government
concerned should take steps to pre-
vent a continuance Of action prejudi-
cial to another nation, especially when
that nation happens to be an ally.
There is all the greater necessity for
this when the action is prejudicial to
the interests of both nations. The
value of the alliance to both Japan
and Great Britain is undeniable and
therefore it is the bounden duty of
both to do everything possible to ce-
ment it, even to the extent of invent
ing means for doing so when they do
aot already exist

MUKDEN, Nov. 26.-The Japanese

The japanese on Thursday again
maze preliminary bombardment Of
Poutilott Hill, under the cover of which
they attacked, but were renulsed. There
were encounters at other places along
the front, but they were in the nature
of small brushes and mostly took place
at night. Yesterday there was a light
fall of snow and the surrounding coun-
try now has all the appearance of win
ter.
The lapse of six weeks without fight
ing on any large scale confirming the
belief that the opposing armies have
relaxed for the winter, together with
"a .f
which the Russians have been able to
make since the depletion Of their army
as the result of the fighting on the
Shakhe River, emphasizes conclusive
ly the failure Of the japanese to pre-
vent the assembly of large Russian
army in Manchuria before spring. thus
defeating the strategy of the Japanese
and their most plausible plans for the
earliest occupation of Manchuria
This outcome, taken in connection
with the general situation, appears to
guarantee that with the opening of
spring there will begin a contest far
more terrible than any yet fought, and
points to the termination of the war in
the next campaign. 1t is still possible
that there will be a general attack
during the winter but the weather is
now broken and uncertain and seem
ingly renders it impossible for the
troops of either army to abandon their
present shelters.
Gradual alterations have taken place
in the different departments of the
Russian army since the abolition of the
vice royalty, as Alexieff's partisans
have returned to Europe with him.
The hostilities are now characterized
by individual exploits of a most daring
and dangerous character. One outcome
OF the close relations between the Rus
SLAMS and japanese along the Shakhe
River has been the occasional blowing
up of houses by the opposing outposts
and the sniping of their occupants.
Russian spectators are confident
that the army will hold it's own. and are
storing straw and other supplies with
a view to the coming of a time when
higher prices can be obtained AS has
been the case in all wars, there is wide
complaint that spectators and army
contractors are fleeing the Govern
ment, and the Russians are freely pro-
nouncing them as the particular curse
of their country.

STUDY OF DOUBLE STARS.

Great progress has been made in
the study of double stars since the
days OF Herschel. The known systems
are numbered by the thousands and
the current work of Astronomers Hus-
sey and Aitken has established that
of stars brighter than the ninth mag
nitude at least an average of one in
eighteen is composed of two suns, Wis
ible in our great telescope. Although
the components in each pair appear to
be very close together, yet their dis
tances from each other are so great,
in all cases, that many years are re-
quired to complete one revolution. The
shortest period, that of Delta Equulei.
is nearly six years. There are only
thirty or forty whose periods are less
than 100 years. and, in the greater ma
jority of cases, the periods will be ex-
pressed in hundreds and thousands Of
years.
THE invention of the spectrograph
and it's application to the measurement
of stellar velocities of approach and
recession have enabled us to make a
most interesting extension of our
knowledge of binary systems. We are
enabled to discover companion stars
SO close together that the powerful
telescope cannot separate them. In
fact their discovery becomes easier as
the distance between the components

INTERESTING DISCOVERY.

AN interesting discovery concerning
the fainter of the two components OF
Castor was made nine years ago by
Astronomer Belopolsky of the Russian
National Observatory at Pulkowa.
While engaged in measuring the speed
with which the two components are
travelling to or from the observer he
discovered that the speed of the fainter
component is variable. On one night
the star would move toward the solar
SYSTEM on another night it would
move rapidly in the opposite direction,
and later it would prove to be rapidly
approaching. A long series of observa-
tions established that the speeds of this
star pass through a complete cycle OF
change. in a little less than three days.
The explanation of the variable speed
is that this star is attended by an in
visible and very, close companion, mas
sive enough to swing the bright star
around in an elliptic orbit once every
three days.
"rhe purpose of this afticle is to
call attention to the discovery just
made at the Lick Observatory that the
other ard brighter component of Cas-
tor is likewise attended by an invisible
component. which causes the speed of
the bright star to wary. At one time
it is approaching us and few days
later it is receding. The number of
days required for the bright star and
the invisible component to complete
revolution about their center of mass
will not be known until a considerable
number of observations have been Sc
cured within the coming weeks. The
discovery was made by DR.. Curtis.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Nov. 26.-Professor W.
W. Campbell of the Lick Observatory
has written the following interesting
story of the recent discovery made at
the observatory:
LICK OBSERVATORY, UNIVER-
SITY OF CALIFORNIA, MOUNT
HAMILTON, Nov 25.-The second
magnitude star Castor. in the constel
lation Gemini is known to all students
Of astronomy as a very interesting
double star. In fact, Sir William Her
schel, the pioneer Of double-star as
tronomy, called it the largest and finest
of all the double stars visible to OBJ
servers in the northern hemisphere. 1t
is also very interesting historically, for
the motions in it's system first con-
vinced Hersehel that there are systems
in which two or more bright stars are
revolving around each other in orbits
of short period.
The two component stars OF Castor
are little brighter than the third and
fourth magnitudes, respectively. They
are about five and one-half seconds of
arc apart, and revolve around their
common center of mass in approx
mately $50 years according to the latest
calculations. An uncertainty of 100
years at least exists in this estimate,
for the reason that accurate obserya-
tions of the relative positions of the
two stars have been made for less than
100 years.
