Eclipse to
Be Observed

SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec. 23.-Five
hundred of the leading savants of the
New World, who are here to take part
in the Pan-American Scientific con-
gress, today witnessed the curious
phenomena connected with the most
interesting total eclipse of the sun in
recent years. The Chilean government
is acting as host to the visiting scien
the United States, and the eclipse Of
the sun is but one of the Interesting
features on the program.
Today's eclipse began at 5:22 this
morning and ended at S:1S 1t began
as an annular eclipse, became total for
II seconds and again changed to an
nular. Some of the leading astronomers
of North and South America took OBJ
servations, and the eclipse will be dis
cussed in several interesting papers
to be read before the congress, which
formally opens on Christmas day.
A series Of Olympic games, the first
ever held in Chile, was commenced this
afternoon in honor of the visiting no
tables. While South American athletes
have seldom won high honors in COM

the contests will probably be sufficient
ly exciting to satisfy the learned Latin
Americans who compose the majority
Of the delegates.
The congress is to consider Ameri-
can social problems, with view to
showing the advantage of all countries
of this continent regulating in a uni
form manner some of their institutions
or public departments, thus strength
ening their relations Of friendship.

ern the discussions, which are to con-
tinue for ten days, has been arranged.
1t begins with review of American
civilization it's development and in

national law is down for definition and
discussion in many phases, including
civil, commercial and criminal interna-
tional law The diplomatic history of
the countries of the American conti-
nent will be reviewed as we'll as its
political cOnOmy-commercia and
Icustoms questions, immigration, irri-
cation, etc. Many questions are down
for discussion regarding government

feasibility Of government control Of
corporations, also the relation of labor

ters residing in the big republic to the
north Christmas is Christmas every
where, and the land ruled so benefi-
Gently by President Diaz-president in
name but dictator in reality-is not
immune from the spirit with which
the annual holiday is welcomed in all
the Christian nations of the globe. If
any doubted this, it would only be ne
cessary to visit the queer shops-queer
to the American or European-where
thousands Of dark -visaged sons and
daughters Of Mexico are today spend
ing their hard earned pesos as freely
as if they were but fallen autumn
leaves. Whatever the Mexican may be,
he is not stingy, and today and tomor-
row he will pour out his little hoard
unstintedly in order that he and his
may have on Christmas day all that
the heart and the stomach hungers for.
III the larger SHOPS Where the
American and European residents of
Mexico do their shopping. there are.
the same scenes of activity as in the
purely Mexican stores. Although far
away from home and native land, the
expatriates of diplomacy and, COM
.merce will have joyous Christmas
and many celebrations on a large scale
have been arranged for their especial
benefit. For the native Mexicans. there
will be cock fights and bull fights and
other Sanguinary encounters-al-
though it must be confessed that the
tourists from America are much in
evidence at these exhibitions.

History of Case.

History of Case.
The case grew out of the publica-
ton in the F'ederationist, the official
organ of the labor organizations, of
statements CHASING the Buck COM
pany as unfair and urging SYM
pathizerS with labor unions not to
trade there. In his annual report to
the Federation Gompers said he had
violated the terms of the injunction,
and asserted that he did not see how
he could do otherwise. Frank Nor
risOn. secretary of the organization
since 1897, also subscribed to the state
ments made by Gompers, and his re-
port was adopted by the recent con-
Vention at Denver, which reelected
Gompers. Van Cleave led the fight
at the Chicago and Denver national
conventions against the anti-injunc-
ton planks proposed for the platforms
OF both parties. and adopted in the
democratic platform.
Wright's opinion is long and is
characterized by such utterances as
follows: Rampant. insolent defiance
unrefined insult. coarse affront, vul-
gar indignity.'' Gompers has fire.
quently said he would rather go to
Jail than keep silent in what he con-
sidered the invasion of the rights of
unions The justice announced he
would fix such q penalty that it would
deter others from following "these
examples in Outlawry." He said he
would endeavor in his opinion to vim
dicate the orderly power of a judicial
tribunal established by the suprem-
acy Of the law.

1t was announced by officials of the
Northwestern Gas & Electric company
today that one dynamo which was dis
abled by the breaking of the reservoir
at the company's plant on the Walla
Walla river has been completely re-
paired and was running as usual. The
addition of this dynamo has material
ly increased the power that is avail
able for use in the city. Work is pro-
crossing ON the remainder of the ma
chinery at the powerhouse, and it is
expected that the full power will prob
ably be turned on late this evening or
tomorrow.
Enough power is at present avail
able to run all the street cars on the
old schedule and also to light the
streets. There will be power enough to
light some of the residences this
evening but not enough for all. They
will all be lighted by tomorrow at the
latest.

SIX-HORSE TEAMS AND DOUBLE
WAGONS is THE ORDER OF
THE DAY.

Walla Walla is at present in the
midst of it's annual wheat hauling sea-
son and every day one can see six
horse teams with trailers going through
the streets to che warehouses or to
-four mills where the wheat is stored
ready for selling.
The country roads are somewhat
dusty at present and that always works
a hardship on wheat hauling, making
it hard on the teams and also is wear
ing on the wagons as the dust grinds
it's way into the aXles.
The cooler weather which has pre-
vailed for the past day or so however
has served to alleviate some of the
dust and as indications point 60 a gen.
eral rain in the near future wheat haul
ing will then be more extensive.
During the harvest season but little
wheat is hauled but as the season adj
vances and the threshing is finished
all attention is turned to getting the
wheat stored Safely in he warehouse
away from the rain and other conditions
that would tend % :essen its value in
case it were not protected.
