THE COMETS
 MOVEMENT Tip of Its Tail May Be Seen in' West On Thursday ECLIPSE 0F- NEXT MONDAY Is Expected to Give Mag nificent View of the Err ratio Visitors - Coniec- lures As to What Will Be Seen Tomorrow
ECLIPSE OF NEXT MONDAY

San Francisco, May 16.-Halley's comet now has practically disappeared in the morning sky and today Profes- sor T. J. J. See, government astrono- mer at Mare Island. issued the follow , ing statement in regard to the reap !; pearance of the comet in the west just after sunset following the earth's passage through the tail of the comet on May IS:
 ''On May 19 the comets head will set 21 minutes after sunset: on May 20 ! the interval will be heightened to l hour and F minutes; on May 21, ? hours and 19 minutes; on May 22, 3 hours and minutes, and on May g, 3 hours and 46 minutes. Thus the comet will move eastward from the sun quite rapidly, and ought to be visible in the western sky after May 20.
 The upper end of the tail may be visible on May 19, but as the moon is then full. it is doubtful if it can be seen in the strong moonlight The head of the comet probably will be brightest on May 20. but the strong VIII cut uoWn me HSnt the tail, and this difficulty will exist each evening till May g, when a total eclipse of the moon will occur and en- able us to see both the head and the tail of the comet in dark sky for an interval of 51 minutes. It is during the eclpise that we may expect to get the best view of the comet, and every one should be on the watch for both the eclipse and the comet.
 The special clements of this total eclipse of the moon are as follows: Beginning the totalty, May 23. 9h. 9 m. Pacific standard time; middle of eclipse. May 23, 9h. 34.3 m. Pacific standard time; total eclipse ends May 23 9h. 56.6m. Pacific standard time.
 Thus. for q little while between 9 and 10 o'clock the moon will be in total eclipse. and the comet will show both head and tail and the full tail above the horizon. On May 2S, the sun sets at about 7h. 2Om. in the latitude of San Francisco. and as the comet fol- lows the sun by hours and 46 min utes, the head will not set on this date till about II o'clock in the evening"

REFEREE QUESTION
 PARTIALLY SETTLED RICHARD AGREED UPON AT LEAST TEMPORARILY. Stormy Meeting Between Johnson and
 Jeffries' Representative.

San Francisco. May 16.-Tex Rick ard who is associated with Jack 1 Gleason in the promotion of the Jef- | fries Johnson contest who came into prominence four years ago when he engineered the Cans Nelson fight al Goldfield was today selected to referee the battle It came as thunder out of a clear sky. the agreeing on Rick ard, and at a stage in the wrangle when it looked as if the principals were once more hopelessly deadlocked Rickard had been mentioned in the gossip several days ago but it was not until this afternoon that his name came before Johnson and Sam Berger for consideration. Johnson it was who suggested Riciard. but Berger refused at first to accept the Nevada man on account of his inexperience.
 The colored champion declared that he would stand pat on the three men he had mentioned. Jack Welch, Graney and Rickard and Berger had said in dignantly that he would leave the meeting. Then there came further clash between Berger and Johnson in which ugly words were used by Ber- ger and threats made by Johnson. Berger stood up as if to leave the meeting place.
 50 you want Rickard. do you?" he queried at Johnson.
 Yes came the answer.
 Well, all right replied Jeffries' business representative and the crowd broke into cheer as it was finally realized that some of the difficult points had been settled.
 In spite of the agreement there is a feeling of distrust among those who attended the session that the last word has not been said and that sooner or later the referee question must again be taken up for consideration. It has been whispered around that in order to give the impression that everything is in working order Rickard has been named until the contestants have fur ther time to look the field over.
 Just before the compromise vas reached Berger in an undertone, de- clared: I'll go over and hit that big black fellow" at the same time apply ing at epithet
 This was carried to Johnson who suppressed his anger as best he could but warned Berger never to call him that name again.
 Berger denied that he had said any thing. but Johnson's followers insisted that it was true and muttered among themselves that if Berger repeated what he had said, he would never leave the room.
 You're just an educated hog" said Johnson to Berger. Now come out and fight if you want to. I'll give a thousand dollars if you will come out with me and box just three rounds"

Senate By Good Majority Retains Court of Commerce WHICH IS NOW ASSURED
An Indication That New Republican Organization Is In Good Working Or der. Senator Stones View of the Factions

l Washington, May 16.-Whatever ! may be the fate of the other provisions ! of the railroad bill the proposal to es- | tablsh a court of commerce will be ! retained, the senate taking the affirm ative action in that direction as the house previously has done.
 The vote was obtained on motion | by Senator Cummins to strike out the ! six sections providing for the estab- | lishment of the court. The motion was defeated 2S to 3T. The entire negative vote was cast by republicans. although eight republicans voted with the dem | ocrats in support of the motion. The action was a distinct triumph for the regulars and was the first fruit of the recent efforts to solidify the ad- ministration forces.
 Senator Stone of Missouri painted a picture of that body under what he termed was the new leadership of the insurgents
 Contending that in the contest of last Friday over the long and short haul provision of the railroad bill. the insurgents had won signal victory. he painted Senator Cummins as oc cupying the place of Senator Aldrich; MT. LaFollette that of MT. Hale; Mir Bristow that of Mir. Lodge and Mir. Nelson that of Mir. Gallinger. He pictured Senator Clapp. The bold black eagle of Minnesota" as chairman of the committee on inter state commerce in place of MT. Elkins, while Mir Beveridge was to be found eXhorting his colleagues to harmony and regularity and MT. Deliver acting as musical director, while the silver voice of Nil. Carter was to be heard sweetly echoing in the chorus"
 The Missouri senator outlined sec ond picture-that of the president re- ceiving the new leaders which he said the chief executive would be quick to recognize, if at all like his immediate predecessor" They would be called in to consult over administration matters, while these old time regulars were left to cool their heels outside with democrats and other plain people"
 There could be no question, said MT. Stone that the regulars had capltulat- ed-that on the fateful Friday the 18th, Elkins, Aldrich, ct al had hoist ed the white flag and henceforth the former insurgents would become the regulars
 The old regulars had been done for Not only had they achieved a victory over the regulars in the sen ate but over the attorney general who drew the bill. and over the president who had been it's sponsor.
 In the house even to a greater ex- tent than in the senate the bill had been vitiated, he continued, so that as the measure came from that body it was a mere skeleton of the measure the president and attorney general had sent to congress and he hoped the fiasco would stand as warning to impertinent officials not to interfere with legislation.
 But while he congratulated the fin surgents" he was not disposed to ad- init that the prospect for the future was any better under the new than under the old regime. He had no faith in either republican faction and advised the dissatisfied everywhere that the only real refuge was in the democratic party

but it was more clearly outlined; far ther on it was dinner and stars could be seen shining through it.
 What the appearance of the comet will be tomorrow morning is a matter of conjecture. According to the cal culations of the astronomers, the earth will begin moving through the tail at one o'clock in the afternoon. In the morning it is probable that the tail will be observed lying apparently more nearly level toward the earth.

You will wonder when first you

the uprising of last November; but
the offense was by a vicious negro
against a white woman. 1t was one
of a series of similar offenses that
had taken place in the recent past.
and 1t was easy to arouse men TO
action. That there was no occasion
for a mob Is granted and that there
would have been no mob and no
tragedy had the city police done their
duty is not to be questioned. A firm
"I will not stand for IT" from the
chief of police spoken at the proper
time in the proper place would have
checked the movement in its incep-
|tion. The chief and two police off,
GERS on the court house steps IN a

have prevented the tragedy there,

and prosper.
The sheriff need not be absolved
from blame. and the errors he made,
but he at least stood for law and or
der, and the mob had no business
there, under the circumstances. That
there was gorgeous laundering by
the sheriff's posse is evident from
the testimony given before the coron-
er's jury last Saturday. 1t is shown
that the sheriff and his deputies did
all the shooting that was
done, and that, fro the first, the
deputies shot to kill the men in the
mob. not to scare them. in wanton
violation of the sheriff's orders.

with when he happenede TO break out
in open lawlessness, or officially pro-
tected from prosecution when action
was brought by citizens. He has
found Cairo a pleasant place TO live,
and has grown bold under the guard
ianship given to him by the city au-
thorities. with the evident under
standing that he must make himself
felt in the right way on election
days. Crap shooting, petty larceny,
burglary, street brawling, actual muir
der. and insults to white women have
been his diversion and though the
Jail has been nearly always crowd
ed and more than ninety per cent of
the prisoners in the county jail are
always of this class of negroes, his
number and activity has not lessen
ed materially. This class OF negro
was the cause of the uprising of last
November, and he was primarily the
cause of the affair of last week, only
IN lesser degree.
The People Not to Blame.
The people Of Cairo have protested
against this condition and practice
many times and in many ways, al
ways Intellectually. Their protests
and their pleadings alike have been
ignored or contemptuously spurned;
and when election day came around
they have been wheedled into tenn
porary submission by promises of
betterment. and considerations of
great improvement in the physical
condition of the city. But that they
have not approved nor been satisfied
with the moral conditions may be
judged from the fact that they have,
as a last resort, organized Pure
Ballot League. a Citizens League,
Social Purity League. Joined by their
Board OF Trade and Commercial
club representing the business ele-
ment of the city-all demanding that
the law shall be upheld. and that IL
their properly constituted authorities
do not obey, they, the citizens, will
themselves execute the law, substitut
ing government by leagues for the
form Of government provided for by
the law. It is an easy step from a
Citizens Law and Order League to
vigilance committee, and from that
to mob. If citizens must them
selves execute their laws they gener-
ally do it in their own way and
not infrequently they go too far. be-
