ABOUT THE COMET.

Dubuque Times: Halley,ss comet was
nearest the sun on April 20, when Of
itself 1t is most luminous. But after
that date 1t gets closer and closer to
us until May-18. Immediately after
that date the comet should be very
brilltant, and 1t will be favorably slit
uated in the evening sky for w TO-
see it. The comet in 1885 was less
bright than II had been dn 1855, when
Ut had tail so degrees in length, not
because dt had intrinsically decreased
in brilliancy. but because the earth
was unfayorably situated In its orbit
to give usI q near view. While moth
ing is known absolutely of how bright
the comet will be. astronomers are
generally agreed that It will be a
splendid object readily Visible to the
naked eye, with a tail at least 80 de.
gees In length. In fact, the comet
will be seen better without a teles-
cope than with one. and for those
who are not astronomers a look
through a big glass would be disap-
pointing.
Science has taught us much con.
|,cerning comets, but there is still
much to learn, The comet of 1882
was the first in which the photo

Danger from Explosion.
JOHN A. KASS0N is DEAD
Diplomat Prominent In Public Life
Since Civil War Passes.
Away.

WASHINGTON, May 1S-John A. Kas-
son, former United States minister to Aus
tria, died here today John r. Kasson had
been prominent In public life since the days
of the civil war. He was a contemporary
and colleague of Garfield when the latter
was the republican leader in the house of
representatives, and had much to do with
the framing of important legislation of
that period, He relinquished the legisla-
tive service to become minister of the
United States to Austria and later min
ister to Germany and had long career of
diplomatic life.
Among his most distinguished achieve
ments was the successful negotiation in
collaboration with the late William Walter
Phelps of the tri-partite treaty between
America, Great Britain and Germany,
which settled the dispute between the three
countries as to the ownership of the
Samoan islands, which resulted in divls-
ion of the group between the three powers.
President Mckinley appointed him a spe-
cial plenipotenuary to frame the various
reciprocity agreements with foreign ma
tions under the terms of the Dingley tariff
act and there are many other achievements
of note in the field of diplomacy recorded
to this credit.

Appearance OF
Square Weigher
Spectacular Evidence introduced in
Trial of Six Employees of
Sugar Combine.

NEW YORK, May 1S-The government
today opened fire in a spectacular way on
Charles r, Heille, secretary Of the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company, and the five
former employees of the company accused
with him of conspfTing to cheat the gov
ernment out of duties by underweighing
cargoes of imported sugar.
The batteries were uncovered during the
testimony of United state Weigher Thomas
ID. Hyatt known as the square weigher,"
whose appearance on the sugar docks at
Williamsburg, while the alleged cheating
was going on, used to be announced it has
been testified, by the ringing of a bell, the
signal for hiding the fraudulent devices by
which the underweighing was accomplished
John b. Stanchfield, Heikes counsel,
cross-examined George ]. Smyth, acting
surveyor of the port, Mr.. Smyth admitted
that the physical conditions surrounding the
Weighing of sugar on the docks were the
same in 1900 as in 1897

in 1899 he stepped into system which mad
already existed for two years?" said Mr.
Stanchfield.

Lieutenant
Colonel Ames
Faces Trial
Officer of Twelfth Infantry will be
Tried by Court Martial at
Manila.

MANILA, May 1S.-Upon instructions
from Washington, Lieutenant Colonel Rob
ert f. Ames was today confined to quarters
and will be court-martialed on charges of
conduct unbecoming an officer and to the
prejudice of military discipline.
The action is a sequel to the investigation
of the circumstances which led Lieutenant
Clarence NJ Janney of the Twelfth in
fantry, United States Army, to take his
life following a dinner party at the home
of Ames at Fort William Mckinley. The
suicides wife remains at the fort and
probably will be the chief witness at the
court-martial
PHILIPPINE coroner and an army board
of inquiry found that Janney committed
suicide and so reported to Major General
William II. Carter, commanding the De-
part of Luzou. After examining the find
ings the general returned them to the
board with instructions to obtain additional
testimony covering certain features OF the
case No further developments were made
public until the receipt Of the instructions
from Washington today.
