CHINESE EMPIRE
 ALMOST TOTTERING
THE IMPERIAL TAMIL BELIEVE THAT THE CHINESE RACE IS BENT ON TAKING THE THRONE FROM THE MANCHUS.

Pelin, August 31.-With the arrival of Huan Shi Kai, commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, there began in the summer palace yesterday an un- usual series of deliberations concern ing the condition of the empire.
 The imperial family believe, and the government fears, that the Chinese race is bent upon unseating the Man. chus. The Chinese imperial family is of Manchu origin. All devices adopted by the throne to remove distinctions between Chinese and Manchu having failed, the throne now contemplates the amalgamation of the two races. A course of action is said to he ready for promulgation.

Paris, August 31.-A dispatch to the Matin from Tangier says the situation in Morocco is growing more alarming. The foreign legations have made an announcement of places of refuge for Europeans In case of danger. Nuro- bers of cutthroats are appearing in and around the city.
 A courier from Fez, the correspond ent adds, states that tribesmen have attacked and utterly routed the troops under Caid Abiel Nader, near Fez.
 The Matin adds the correspondent says that on Wednesday an attack was obviously directed by a person thor oughly conversant with the methods of modern warfare. The correspcn6- ent adds that the natives made splen- did charge, and that only the shells from the Glorie broke it. The news paper correspondents had narrow es- cape from capture. Ono of them had his mule killed.
 The correspondent also says that an Arab fugitive has come into Casa Blanca. bringing Mulai Hafgs letter, in which he requests the tribesmen to make no further attack on the French men, saying that he hopes to arrive Friday, when q will confer with the French, and if good comes from it. 1t will be for all; if not I will join my forces with yours and lead you"

News of Cuba.

Cuba, August 3l.-(Special J. Today marks the close of the seventh week with cut a real good rain and the crops arc beginning to fail rapidly, especially cot ton which has been adversely affected by the hot winds of the past two days. A shower last week was not heavy enough to hold up cotton through this dry, hot week which Is causing shedding and rapid opening.
 F. A. McElroy Is arranging to move his crate and basket factory to Coden, Ala. Inability to get living freight rates on raw material to run the factory, to- gether with the high rates on shipments out has caused the town to lose an indus try that will be missed. It is likely that the vegetable shipments from this point will be much lighter next season as pack ages for shipping will be more difficult to obtain.
 w. Cahoon has purchased the electric plant that has been run in connection with the crate factory and will make some im- proYements after which 1t will be oper- ated separately. Bernard Williams, d competent electrician of New Orleans, has been engaged to operate the plant.

OLD STORY REVIVED. Alleged Offer Made to Governor Dur bin May Be Roorback.

Louisville, Ky, August 31.-(SpeciaI)- Why the old story that certain unnamed Kentuckians offered w. T. Durbin. then governor of Indiana, nearly S1O0,000 for the surrender of William A. Taylor, the fug- ftive governor of this state, wanted Io~ alleged complicity in the killing of Gov ernor Goebel, should be revived at this time, is a matter of speculation among Kentucky democrats. The general opinion is that the story is sprung again for the effect it might have on the political sit uation in this state, and 1t is regarded as significant that the time selected for springng it was on the eve of the great democratic rally at Lexington. It is nos believed that 1t will have any effect upon the situation in this state, however, as it is generally regarded as too thin'' to be given much weight.

N sky on the clear evenings of au- tumn can fail to be struck by the delicate beauty of the summer constella- tions. Most wonderful of all is the Milky Way, now a broad, faint, silyery arcn of innumerable stars, which in the early evenings of autumn passe sthrough the very highest point of the heavens
 Toward the south is the faint little compact group of the Dolphin, with the beautiful Northern Cross above 1t. while nearby there shines out the magnificent Mega, the star toward which our sun IS ceaselessly rushing through the infinite regions of space, carrying the earth and all of the other planets with him. Though we are pursuing this journey at the speed of eleven miles a second, so that at the end fo each day we are al- most one million miles nearer the star than we were at it's beginning, yet at least one million years will elapse be- fore we overtake and drift past this great sun. Were the life of man on the earth not so short, how wonderfully would he see the face of the heavens change as he passed through our universe of stars.
 The Great Dipper, the Northern Cross, and even the Milky Way itself would appear to take new forms as he passed on mad viewed thtem from a different di- rection, and as he drew near the blue star Vega, a sun enormously larger and hotter than our own, it would shine out with extraordinary brilliancy

 Has Been Completed.

dark region. Some of them are found ih the greenish areas also.
 The lines first begin to appear as the polar cap melts; as summer advances they grow more distinct near the poles and can be traced for a greater distance, but they disappear again with the ap- proach of winter. It is therefore sup posed by many that they are long, mar row strips of irrigated country, their cx- istence showing evidence of the lntcll- gent design of living creatures.
 On the other hand many astronomers doubt that the canals are so straight and so artificial in appearance as they nave been described. Many skillful observers with the largest telescopes describe them as rather indistinct shadings and believe that their apparent sharpness is the re- suit of an optical illusion. They also point out that we have no certain proof of the presence of water or water vapor on Mars and regard the evidence of any form of life on the planet as so far wholly inconclusive.
 The Occulation of Neptune.
 On September 50 the moon will pass be- tween the earth and the planet Nep- tune. AS seen from Washington, the planet will disappear at the bright edg" of the moon at twelve minutes past 12 in the morning and reappear at tine dark edge forty-three minutes later. The moon Is so near the earth that to observers in different places it appears to lie in dll ferent positions among the stars. One observer in 62 degrees north latitude will see the moon pass below Neptune. the upper edge of the moon just grazing the planet: if the observer is only four de- grees above the equator he will see the extreme lower edge of the moon appear to touch the planet. Observations of such occuatons are therefore of great
