THE PLANET URANUS.

If Uranus, which Is star of about
the sixth magnitude. We're planet
like those little ones called asteroids,
which are being discovered by tho
dozen every year, it could not have
much claim upon popular attention,
but Uranus is really gigantic world,
more than sixty times as large as ours,
Its vast distance, about l,T00,000000
miles from tSr earth, is what caus1s
II TO look 50 small Uranus has four
moons, which revolve backward in
their orbits-that is to say. they re-
volve from east to west around Uran-
us. while Uranus goes, like all the 9th.
er planets, from west TO east around
the sun. 1t is believed that Uranus
rotates backward on its axis also.
Moreover the axis of that great,
strange globe lies In such a direction
that in the course of its year, which
is equal to eighty-four of our years,
the sun shines almost perpendicularly
first upon one pole and then upon the
other. Measured by our time stand
ard, there are forty years of constant
daylight, followed by forty years Of
unbroken night, around the poles of
Uranus And the sun rises in the
west and sets in the east there. But
the sun looks very small when viewed
from Uranlls-only one four-hundredth
as large as it appears to us. Still II
sheds upon that planet 1900 times as
much light as the full moon sends to
the earth, so that daylight upon Uran-
us, while faint compared with the
blaze of terrestrial MONDAY. IS new
ertheless very respectable kind OF
Illumination.

Measuring Medicine.

Use medicine glass with the amount
of each spoonful and drop marked
upon IT, TeaspOonfuls and tablespoon
fuls are always mentioned, but as
these vary In size it is not safe to rely
upon them. Drops. too cannot be
properly measured without glass
Keep the medicine glass perfectly
clean. 1t shorld be washed out after
each dose, in readiness for the next
time. 1t is desirable that il the patient
is to have medicine with strong
smell, oils. etc. to keep glass special
ly for them, letting it soak in hot wa
ter for half an hour after use to re-
move all disagreeable odOr. 1t is i'm
possible to cleanse such glass in a
few moments. When the medicine Is
being poured out hold the label upper
most in order that it may not become
stained with any drops escaping down
the side of the bottle.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
HAVANA, Sept S.-Insurgents who
had heard the news that an Official
truce had been proclaimed and be-
lieved it, appeared at Managau, near
Havana, this morning and were caught
in an ambush laid for them by the
rural guards. A terrible fight ensued.
The insurgents made a brave stand,
but lost heavily. Their leader, Colonel
Asbert is reported to have been seri-
ously wounded.
The fiercest fighting that there has
been since the beginning of the war
took place today" said President Palma
last night, yet the newspaper printed
a report that the truce had been Of
1cially proclaimed. AS this false news
was first spread by apparent friends
of the Government consider it an act
of treachery
Il have never said or done anything
which could be interpreted as a recog-
milton of the belligerency of the rebels.
When General Menocal asked me for
permission to see the rebels, to induce
them to make peace without granting
them ANYTHING contrary to the dignity
of the Government, l consented but
not with the idea of stopping the war
for q moment
IF General Menocai succeeds in
bringing about a compromise between
the political parties the Government
will be glad. But it will not take any
part in the compromise. I consider the
publication of truce a dastardly trick.
designed to promote the interests of
the revolution. But proof of its falsity
is given by yesterdays battles at Cein-
fuegos and in the province of Pinar del
Rio"
According to a report given to cor
respondent today by General Montalvo,
the battle near Cienfuegos yesterday
went on until night. Then both sides
withdrew to their positions. Over
twenty were killed and many were
wounded on each side.
President Palma tonight issued a call
for a special session of Congress to
convene September IA and consider the
disturbed condition of the country and
measures for ending the situation.
The President is weary of the compli-
Gated conditions and is anxious to
divide the responsibility with Congress-
The principal features in the revolt
today were attempts by the Western
Railway to get trains toward Pinar del
Rio and the advancement of an armor-
ed train with machine guns and re-
cruits 20 the country now occupied by
the insurgents. Wire communication
both by railroad and Government lines
was cut repeatedly further east tonight
and neither the Government nor the
railroad is able to communicate be-
yond Paso Real, two miles east of
Pinar del Rio City. The armored train
which returned to Palicos Friday night
started west from Paso Real. Between
La Herradura and Hur it encountered
revolutionists, but the result of the
engagement is not known. 1t is
thought, however, that the troop train
got through to the vicinity of Puerta
Golpe, where two more railroad bridges
were blown up this morning.

Decision in Lease Case May
Hasten Terms Between
Railroad and Steel Trust

NEW YORK, Sept S.-The receipt of
the decision handed down yesterday by
the Supreme Court of Minnesota in the
Virginia Silver mine, which is regarded
as definitely establishing the rights of
the Great Northern Railway in the
lease of certain ore lands from the
State, caused a report in Wall street
today that the long delayed agreement
between the Great Northern and the
United States Steel Corporation for the
operation of the so-called Hill mines
in the Lake Superior district was soon
to be allied. Inquiry showed, however,
that most of the important officials of
both corporations were absent from the
city today and will not return until
next week. Even then, it was esti-
mated there are many details of vital
Importance yet to- be arranged The
court decision, however, removes one
of the obstacles to the proposed agree
ment, for the constirutionality of the
law under which the Great Northern
had secured leaseholds of many of it's
ore lands had been called into ques-
ton.
The negotiation of the Hill ore hold
ings has been pending for several years
and Several times has been reported
nearsa conclusion. The United States
Steel Corporation, already the largest
holder of ore properties in the Lake
Superior district, through it's oliver
iron mining, has been anxious, it is re-
ported, to secure the Hill properties as
a sort of reserve, thus assuring itself
of longer life and aiding in cutting
out possible serious competition.
The financial district is therefore
somewhat puzzled as to just what the
deal between the Great Northern and
the steel corporation will mean when
consummated. The annual royalties
and profits to the Great Northern from
the haul to the Duluth and Superior
docks cannot be estimated, although
Hill is endeavoring to approximate the
result by fixing a minimum quantity
of ore to be turned out each year.
In case the steel corporation should
not see fit to work the mines to the
extent agreed upon, It would be COM
pelled under the terms offered to pay
to the railroad company an amount
equal to the royalties on the minimum
yearly output. This minimum is vari-
ously estimated at from 100000 to
10000, 600 gross tons a year, the latter
figure having insisted upon by the
Great Northern after certain number
of years have elapsed
