TWAS A COMPLETE FAILURE.

See the Eclipse.

st. Johns, N. F., Sept. 1.-The Lick
astronomical observatory expedition
which went to Cartwright, Labrador to
observe the solar eclipse. of Wednes-
day last, met with complete failure.
Heavy banks Of clouds obscured the
heavens during the entire period of
eclipse and the result of the attempt
ed observations was SO unsatisfa ctory
that the astronomers will not even
attempt to develop the photogra phic
plates which were exposed.
The report of the failure of the mis-
sion was brought here today, by Gov.
Magregor who had accompanied the
scientists to Cartwright and who re-
turned here. today, on the warship
Scylla. The governor says he feared
also that the expedition sent out by
the Canadian government, which was
located at Hamilton only about so
miles from Cartwright. was fully as
as those from Lick.
Early morning conditions. last
were very favorable for
observation Of the heavens. the COVER
nor said, and every preparation had
been made for the work which was to
begin about A. M. Before that hour,
however. banks of clouds rolled up and
during the whole period of totality of
the eclipse and heavens were obscured.

KILLED BY KING.
e. II. Hartman Makes Inquiries In Re-
gard To Death of Uncle In Honolulu.

Honolulu, Aug 23.-Via Victoria, b.
c., Sept. 1.-While in Honolulu. Z. H.
Hartman, the railway magnate. made
inquiries regarding one Charles Nelson,
who was shot and killed by King Ka-
mehameha, the Fifth, and was an uncle
to Hartman. The railway man ex-
pressed himself as anxious to meet
someone who had known Nelson and
tell about him, but no such person
was found.
The killing is referred to in Hawaiian
histories. 1t took place at Lakaina, in
1859. Nelson was secretary to the King
and the latter. who was heavy
drinker conceived an idea that the
secretary was in too high favor with
the queen. While under the influence of
liquor he shot Nelson, inflicting wounds
which eventually proved fatal The
tragedy is stated to have so weighed
on the Kings mind that he was never
the same and offered to abdicate and
died soon after.

In Peace Negotiations Be-
tween Japan and Russia
May Come from a MIsunder-
standing Over SakhaIIn.
The Armistlce viii Not Take Effect TIL
Peace Treaty Is Signed.

Portsmouth, n. H., Sept. 1.-The on
ly possible hitch on the horizon of the
peace conference according to reports
current here, which however, are not
officially confirmable, arises out of an
evident misunderstanding over the
question Of the naturalization Of the is
land of Sakhalin. According to the Jap
anese the understanding reached, Tues
day, contemplated a mutual obligation
on the part of the two countries not
to fortify their respective possessions
on the island. At St. Petersburg, how
ever, there seems to have been an as
sumption that the agreement involved
freedom Of action upon the part Of
Russia in this respect in the north Of
Sakhalin with an obligation on the
part of Japan not to fortify or use for
strategic purposes the portion owned
by her before 1875 which is to be retro
ceded in the present treaty. 1t is ex-
pected on both sides. however, that the
hitch, if it really exists as reported.
will shortly be Strengthened out and it
is believed that one of the subjects OF
tonight's conference related to this
point.
