ASTRONOMERS AT LABRADOR.
They Prepare to Observe Total Eclipse
of the Sun Next Summer.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 5.-Arrange-
ments are now being made through
the Newfoundland government for the
conveyance of British and American
astronomical expeditions to Labrador
and Hudson Bay next summer for the
purpose of observing the total eclipse
of the sun on August 30, 1905. The
matter has been arranged in advance,
for the coast is now blockaded with
ice and will not be free until July,
leaving only a few weeks in which to
transport the parties to the far north
ern region and enable them to install
all the observation points selected with
their telescopes and other instru-
ments.
The eclipse can be observed most
advantageously in Labrador, because
the period of eclipse will last longer
there Ga little over two minutes) than
any other place on this continent.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 5.-The inaug-

second term was one of the most
brilliant events of the kind ever seen
here. The inaugural ceremony took
place in the presence of both branches
of the legislature, state officials and a
large gathering of other spectators that
included visitors from every part of
the state. Governor Mickey's inaugu-
raj address dealt at considerable length
with the administration of state af-
fairs and particularly with the finan-
cial condition of the state. Especial
attention was given to the revenue laws
and a number of amendments of a cor
receive nature were recommended for
the consideration of the legislature.
Preparations on an elaborate scale
have been completed for the official
reception and inaugural ball to take

PLOT CHARGES IN SCANDAL.
Irvine Man Says Some One Scared Pre-
senters to Repudiate Signatures.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 5.-In-
timidation by powerful and influential
friends of Bishop Talbot is the charge
made by Herbert Noble, senior counsel
for the presenters, in explanation of
the reputation by some of the Hunt
ington presenters of their signatures to
the document. He says:
The signatures of the Huntington
presenters of Bishop Talbot to the
original document were entirely regu-
lar. These men signed the document
knowing exactly what it contained.
Beside their signatures to the present.
ment, we have their signatures to a let
ter asking whether they should sign
the document once or twice.
This came about because in the
opening paragraphs of tie present
ment, their names are stated in COL
umn. one under the other They wrote
asking whether they should affix their
signatures at that place as we'll as on
the last sheet, which contained the
concluding parag graph of the document
and which embodied the formal prayer
to the presiding bishop for the APP
pointment of a board of inquiry.
BuIdozed, Says Noble.
They were informed that they need
only affix their signatures at the latter
point and this they did, each man
knowing fully what he was signing.
They have been bulldozed into the re-
pudiation of an act they knowingly
and willfully performed.
THE pressure was applied by parti-
sans of Bishop Talbot, we know who
they are and propose to probe this
matter to the bottom. l shall make
a formal statement later, giving all
the facts in connection with this SEN
sational turn the affair has taken"
When asked whether or not these
populations of the Huntington sigma
lures will vitiate the presentment, Mr.
Noble said:
They will not affect The legality of

PuLLMANs TESTED FOR GERMS
Guinea Pigs Used In Investigation Of
PalatiaI Sleeping Cars.

geon- General Wyman, of the public
health and marine hospital service is
making use of guinea pigs in an in
vestigation to determine whether Pull
man and other luxurious parlor and
sleeping cars are infected with the
germs of tuberculosis and other dis
eases. Though the experiments have
not been completed, he has advised
the Pullman company to alter the
treatment of linen used in sleeping
car, so that the dangers of contagion
may be lninimized.
Gen. Wyman advocates the use of
plain, smooth, hard surfaces in coaches,
parlor and sleeping cars, so that they
may readily be cleaned. He believes
that there is danger to the public
health in the use of plush, tapestries,
and other unsanitary luxuries with
which cars are sometimes burdened.
He thinks the present arrangement of
the wash bowls is not the best and ad
vocates the employment of a special
sink for teeth cleaning and throat
gargling processes.
Testing With Guinea Pigs.
The investigation being con-
Quoted with guinea pigs in the labora-
tory of the public health bureau is to
determine whether the palace cars
have contagious germs in them.
A number of specimens of tuberculo-
sis sputum were obtained, examined
in stained preparations for tubercle
bacilli, and then inoculated into guinea
pigs in the usual manner. This same
mixture was then placed upon the car
pet, plush and other surfaces and al
lowed to dry in the ordinary tempera-
this dried material was inoculated into
guinea pigs. Gen. Wyman says it is
too early to speak of the results of his
experiments. He says, however, that
the work will be continued and that it
promises useful and definite knowledge
on the subject
Speaking of the way linen on Pull
man cars is likely to carry germs, Gen.
Wyman said:
The bed linen used over night is
gathered by the porter in the morning
and is simply rolled up and thrown
into locker or closet in one end of
the car, and in the process of thus
gathering it up it is more or less vio-
lently shaken.
Suggested Improvement.
1T is suggested that this be avoided
and that each sleeping car be provid-
ed with strong canvas to hold each a
full complement of bed linen from all
the berths in the car, and that the
porters be instructed to place the used
linen into these bags with as little
shaking as possible. The bags, when
full are to be tightly closed with
drawstring and the full bags stored in
a special locker until the end Of toe
trip.
Another point which seems worthy
OF consideration is that the wOollen
blankets of Pullman cars should be
provided with slip covers of cotton,
linen or other washable material 1t
is needless to say that the blankets
are a source of danger, for the reason
color, they are not frequently washed
or disinfected. To carry out the plan
of slip covers the method practiced in
Germany of using eiderdown quilts
upon beds is suggested

SCANDAL IN HIS CAREER.
Senator Mitchell Principal In Number
of Sensations,

OF SENSATIONS.
PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 5.-Senator
John H. Mitchelrs career since he
came to Oregon in 1860, has been
fraught with many sensational Incl
dents, beginning during his first term.
Bitter opposition resulted in bring
ing to light the fact that his name was
not Mitchell at all.
Scandal after scandal was un-
earthed, but the main facts developed
were that Mitchell, whose real name
was Nipple, had left a wife and fami-
ly in Pennsylvania, and coming to Ore
gon to begin a new career, had taken
the name of Mitchell, which was his
mothers maiden name
Nauseating Scandal Uncovered.
In 1884 Mitchell again became a
candidate for the senate, and this time
the Portland Oregonian published an
array of scandalous letters written by
Mitchell, which proved illicit relations
between himself and the sister of the
wife he had married in Oregon. The
legislature failed to elect a senator at
the regular session, but at a special
session Mitchell won notwithstanding
the publication of the scandalous let
ters.
In due time Senator Mitchell went
into the courts and had his nome
changed to John H. Mitchell. His pres
ent wife, who is a sister of James H.
Price, of Tacoma, formerly secretary
of state of Washington, lives in Paris
French nobleman. Another daughter
is married to Superior Judge w. o.
Chapman of Tacoma. His eldest son,
John H. Mitchell, Jr., was formerly
general counsel for the Northern Pa
cific railroad and is now practicing
lawyer in New York Another son, Hi
ram E. Mitchell, is an officer in the
United States army. Most of his chill
dren are the issue of his Pennsylva-
mia wife.
Main Facts of His Career.
Senator Mitchell was born in WASH
ington county, Pennsylvania, June %,
1886. When he left the east he settled
first in California, but in 1860 removed
to Oregon. In 1861 he was elected cor
poration attorney of Portland In 1862
he was elected to the Oregon state sem
ate, and was made president of that
body. He was defeated in the repub-
lican caucus in 1866 for United States
senator by one vote. He was chosen
professor of medical Jurisprudence
in Willamette university at Salem,
and served foalr years in that capacity.
Election as Senator.
In 1872 ne was elected United States
SENATOR taking his seat March 4, 1873.
In 1879 he was succeeded by demo-
crat. In 1882 when the term of the
other senator expired, he became a
candidate, and was defeated. In 1885
he was elected as the successor of the
democrat who had succeeded him in
1879 He was reelected in 1891, and
his third term expired in 1895, In that
year there was prolonged deadlock,
and no senator was elected. Ultimate
ly Joseph Simon was elected at a
special session In 1901, when Senator
George w McRrid,'s term ,axnired
Mitchell was elected for a full term,
which will expire March 4, 1907.
