Trnnsmissisnippi Congress Believes
Labor Unions AS Well Az Trusts
should BE Prosecuted.

st. Louis, Oct. 29.-The following
report of the committee on resolutions
of the Transmississippi Commercial
congress was unanimously adopted:
I'VE recommend liberal expenditures
for the improvement of rivers apd har-
bors by the federal government as one
Of the best and wisest methods of ap-
propriating public funds. 1t Is the
plain duty of congress 10 take hold of
the important question of river i'm
provement and food control in broad
guaged manner. The cost of neces-
sary improvements to prevent the con-
tinued interruption of interstate COM
merce and an appalling loss Of life and
property should be met by the govern
ment and the localities affected upon
an equitable basis.
1--WE favor the union of labor and
the combination of capital as the
proper means to advance the public
good. We condemn any act of either
combined labor or capital that in any
way abridges the national rights Of
man. We recommend the enforcement
of the Sherman act OF 1890 and to that
end urge congress to pass an amend
ment to that act, making 1t the duty
of all United States district attorneys
to prosecute all unions of labor or cap
ital whenever evidence making prima
facie case of the breach of the terms
of the act are presented. And we rec
ommend the appointment of a special
commission by congress to investigate
the arbitration laws of New Zealand
and other countries which may have
such laws. We recommend to the sew
eral states and territories the adoption
of such legislation as will place the
subject of permanent public road i'm
provement under an intelligent and
uniform state and county supervision"

Washington, Jan. 3.--Gen. Reyes has
not received the reply of the Wash
ington government to his note in which
he officially charges the United States
with violating the treaty of 1916 In
preventing Colombia troops landing on
the isthmus for the purpose of putting
down the rebellion. Until he
knows the character of this reply, and
whether it precludes the expediency
of further pour parIers, Gen. Reyes can
not fix the date for his departure for
home. If the answer gives hope OF any
action by the United States in the d.
rection of relief for Colombia, however
small, the negotiations probably will
continue. If the note be final in its re-
fusal 10 consider any of the proposals
of Gen. Reyes, it will, in the eyes OF
Colombia, assume the form Of an ul-
timatum, and Gen. Reyes aud DR. Her
ran will lose no time In leaving the
country. Their departure will mark the
suspension of diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries.

SUN SPOT THEORIES.
Some That Are Startling Are With
out Foundation.
The Solar Phenomena Have No In
Huence on the Affairs of Man,
Say Scientists - Curious
Condolences.

Sun spots may come and sun spots
may 60, but despite the numerous ter
rifying theories advanced and partly
supported during the last half century
1t is the opinion of the best-knowI
modern astronomers-suchm men, among
others, as Prof. G. A. Young, OF Prince
ton; Prof. S. P. Langley, the well,
known American authority on solar
physics; or Prof. Pickering, director
of the Harvard astronomical observa'
tory-that human affairs go on forever
without much If any reference to them
The group of sun spots that has recent
ly attracted SO much general attention
is therefore, so far as anything i
definitely known about 1t, solal
curiosity rather than any visible
prophet of approaching evils.
Meantime it has been SHOWN thai
there is certain degree OF regularity
in their appearances and disappear
ances, that there is an apparent con
nection, whether real or merely GOMEZ
dental, between the sun spots and oul
terrestrial magnetic disturbances, ane
that there is little or no connection be
tween their appearance on the SIN ant
the weather commercial panics, wars
or other disturbances that affect TIT
everyday existence of average mortals
In appearance the. typical sun spots
as seen through powerful telescope
suggest great chasms in the sun, Sc
large indeed that our own earth coulc
be dropped into one of them easily
and might even get out of sight before
touching the bottom. Such hole, o,
course, would be a mere incident on the
suns surface, as readily appears when
one remembers that if the sun were
considered as a hollow sphere our own
planet, together with the moon. couIo
be placed inside of 1t without disturb
ing the distance that ordinarily separ-
ates them.
1t is only by the exercise OF consid,
cradle ingenuity that the bulk CT these
relations have been maintained, even
In theory. The foundation OF such the;
cries lies obviously enough in the ques-
ton as to whether the presence OF spots

Such an influence could only be shown
by series of deadly parallels, in o
very literal sense, between the pres
ence of spots on the sun and the oc-
currence of bad harvests, panics. ship.
wrecks, suicides and other disastrous
what not on our own planet, some,
thing over 100000 miles distant
In the first place, without going into
the scientific details there are three
distinct opinions regarding the sun
spots and the heat and light OF the
sun; first, that the spots show great
activity in the sun and therefore in
creased heat-emitting power; second
that they decrease the amount of heat
available for radiation and so diminish
the heat rays; third that the effect ol
the spots is counteracted by other
causes arising at the same time, ano
therefore, SO far as any. change in the
amount of heat received by the earth
is concerned, they produce no effect
whatever.
Granting, however, that they do at
feet the heat of the earth, there has
been evolved no completely convincing
parallel between the sun spots and our
own weather and crops. AS in the case
of Sir William Herschel's famous com
parison between the sun spots and the
price of wheat during a certain perioo
there have been many cufiors CO.
medicines, which, however, are ey.
identity more coincidental than real
In view of the fact that the
great number of other causes af-
fecting like conditions make it i'm
posslole to place any definite response
bility on the sun, and the observer
themselves have turned up confictine
evidence. AS one astronomer has re

apparent connection between the
planets and the rise and fall of any
given railroad stock, the relative num-.
bers of democratic and republican con-
gressmen from year to year, or almost
ar ything else with which the heavenly
bodies have as little to do. Sun spots
and bad harvests, sun spots and ship.

crises. sun spots and wars or even sun
spots and race suicide may therefore
be relegated to the subjects that are al
present of primary interest only to the
ingenious.
