Cat Lake is really string of one hundred and
fifty lakes, among which white could

The party lived on fish, which they caught day

they found that Indian. named Tushwegah,

curing evidence was extremely difficult, and sew
eral Indians utterly refused to tell what they
knew.
The murderer had concealed himself in the
bush. After several days hunting he was locat-

canoe. Owing to the distance from civilization
at which the witnesses live, the case will not be

NEW. BILL FOR CASTRO.
Secretary Root WI Haze Catch-

EFrom Tho Tribune Bureau J

Washington. Nov 1T-The Secretary OF State
has discovered claim against Venezuela which
may play an important part in future negotia-
tons with that republic and which. because of
It's simplicity and absence Of all complications.
seems likely to afford ground for a peremptory
demand for redress from President Castro. In
the careful examination of cases pending be-
fore the State Department in which Mr.. Root
has been engaged ever since he assumed that

against Venezuela which fled about a
year ago and which does not appear to have
been prosecuted with great energy.
An examination of the claim as presented to
the State Department Immediately aroused
Mr. Roots interest, and he sent for Mr.. Crttch-
field who came from New-York to-day, ac-
companied by r. S Rokeby and his attorney,
J. Floyd Clarke The Secretary spent several
hours going the with these men
both before and after the meeting of the Cabi-
net and as a result Minister Russell viii be
Immediately instructed to press the claim with
all due energy.
It appears that Mr. Critchfield located an
asphalt mine in Venezuela in a locality quite
distant from the Bermudez asphalt lake and
secured from Castro. then dictator, a contract
providing that no export tax should be assessed
on the asphalt mines. Mr.. Critchfeld, on the
strength OF this contract. purchased the prop
erty outright and constructed small railroad
from the mine to the coast.
No sooner however did he begin to export the
asphalt than Castro in absolute violation of his
contract proceeded to assess an export tax
which rendered the enterprise Improbable. ana
Mr Critchfeld was compelled to abandon ooth
mine and railroad. He then returned 10 the
United States and filed with the State Depart
ment the claim for damages which has no" at
tracted Secretary Roots attention
The facts as presented by Mr. Critchfield ap-
pear to leave no ground for any counter claim
by President Castro no chance for the aliega-
ton that the owner of the mine assisted revo-
lutionists or other complication of the issue and
for that reason seems likely to present a case
which can justly be prosecuted with the utmost
vigor and without extensive and tedious lnVestl-
CATION or litigation. OF course the State De
partment will suspend Judgment until Minister
Russell has been heard from but unloss there
exist extenuating circumstances of which the
department has now no knowledge, President
Castro VIII be compelled to reimburse the holder
of the contract for the extensive damages. ms
violation of that contract has inflicted. and this
without unnecessary delay or equivocation.

sun SPOTS ARE VISIBLE
Interesting Phenomenon Can Be
Seen With Naked Eye.
ECLIPSE OF SUN THIS YEAR
Elaborate Preparations Are Being
Made BY Astronomers to OBJ
ECLIPSE OF SUN THIS YEAR
serve the Event.


As all students of astronomy are
aware, the sun often exhibits remark
able phenomena. but the occasions are
rare when there appears on the sun q
snnspot large enough TO be visible
with the naked eve through smoked
glass. These snn-spots are in evidence
nearly all the time with n powerful
telescope. but al exceptionally large
one Is now visible.
The one now IN evidence will bs
visible for eight days. 1t Is about
80. 900 miles in diameter, or about one
,euth the whole diameter of the sun.
IL appears ~ small spot somewhat
darker than the surrounding surface
OF the sun. The cause of these spots
is unknown. various theories have been
given, but nothing definite has been
proven. One thing is known--that
thar presence Is often attended with
electrical disturbances.
When one stops to consider that the
spot Is ten times as large as the diam
efsr OF the earth, and that the sun ID
about 93. 900. 900 miles distant, he at
once realizes that 1t is worth the
trouble of blacking glass in order to
view 1t.
Many well-equipped expeditions will
| leave this country and Europe to view
the big astronomical event OF the yeal
1905 from the most advantageous
| points. This event will be total

August &c. William H. Croker, of CAL
ifornia, has offered to defray the cost
Of sending expeditions from the Lick
observatory. California. to Labrador
Spain and Egypt The naval observa'
tory OF Washington will probably send
three expeditions, one Of which may
be located near Burgos, Spain. Photo.
| graphs OF the corona by means OF a
/ camera of Eve inches aperture and A
| feet focus will be made by the Croker
parties.
Miss Mary Proctor. the famous
| woman astronomer writes as follows:
IAN expedition composed largely OF
amateurs will go to Burgos, Spain
which is probably one of the most de-
sirable stations along the route OF an
ticipated darkness. A programme Ia
being arranged Tor covering the minor
details of an eclipse, such as observa-
tions of the diminishing sunlight; the
peculiar shadows cast by the foliage
on the ground when the sun is nearly
eclipsed; the strange wavering lines OF
/ shadow bands, as they are called
which make their appearance a few
moments before totality; the swift on
rush of shadow, and finally the glo-
rious but Undesirable corona.
Thus, while the astronomer is abb
sorbed In special details which require
his whole and lundlvided attention. the
amateur enjoys the opportunity OF
watching the unfolding glories OF the
corona from the standpoint Of poet
or artist. Words fail to convey the
impressiveness OF he scene. From re-
hottest times Il has been described
with enthusiasm as being one Of the
