SCIENTISTS PUZZLED
OVER HAllE!'S COMET
Celestial Wanderer Appears
in Wrong Place and Causes
Spectrum Across Sun.
(By Associated Press.D

YERKES OBSERVATORY, WILL
LIAM BAY. WIS, May 19.-FOllow-
ing closely on the wholly unexpected
astronomical condition that prevailed
early today, when the tail o. Halley's
comet was plainly seen in the east,
astronomers at Yerkes Observatory
today were further bewilded by a
startling apparation across the face
of the sun at noon.
A broad spectrum of light, extend
ing across and considerable distance
to each side of the sun, challenged
the attention of yigilant, weary OBJ
servers.
For the second time in dozen
hours, the cOngregated scientists are
greatly excited. Professor +. b. Frost,
who first sighted the phenomenon, de-
clared he had never before Witnessed
its like. Professor Z. E. Barnard said
the same. The apparation lasted less
than half an hour.
The spectrum at once bemae a
topic of interest and conjecture.
Il can see no other cause but dhe
comet for the appearance of spec
trum." said Professor Frost He be-
lieyes that the two were related in
some unexplained manner.
THE passage of the Garth through
the tail of the comet, delayed a day in
its schedule, is believed to be taking
place tonight, although early observa-
tions did not give positive proof of
this condition.

More Talk OF An Understanding Be-

on the Corporation Measure-Stili
Hope for Minority Aid.
ny Associated rress)

WASHINGTON, ID. C., Nal 19.-Be-
ginning the day with a fair prospect
OF an agreement between the regular
Republicans and the Democrats which
would permit an early vote upon the
railroad bill, the senate concluded to-
days session in as great uncertainty
as II has been at any time on that and
all other points. When adjournment
was taken shortly after O'Clock
there was more talk of an unders and
ing between the regular Republicans
arI the insurgent Republicans than
between the regulars and the Demo
Gratis.
Proposition to Democrats.
The first reports OF the day indi-
Gated the strong probability that
large majority of the Democrats, II
not all of them. would agree 10 ac
c.l a proposition of the Republt ans
70 strike out the last three sections
OF he Ri relating to the capt "a
ton OF railroads. fhis arrangement
wa, 10 have carried with 4 the A ic:'-
don of ar amendment presented by
scn.tor simmons, to prohibit the -
cring OF railroad rates to destroy
water competition and give place
of advantage to the New Mexico and
Arizona statehood bills. In return
the Democrats were expected to ex-
pedite the railroad bin by voting
against most of the amendments offer
ed by the insurgents and ASSIST In
laying some of them on the table. ~
Refuse to Sign.
When this proposition was put In
writing and Senator Johnston, of Ala
bama. began to circulate 1t on the
minority side of the chamber, ne met
with much opposition. Among those
who refused to sign the compact were
Senators Bacon. Rayner, Frazier.
Overman and Smith of South Caro-
lima. They raised the objection that
the agreement would be construed as
a surrender to the "Aldrich Republi-
cans"
With such a large detection the
movers for an agreement practically
decided before the close OF the day
10 refrain from further effort In that
direction.
The failure to put through this
formal plan did not, however, have
the effect of causing a complete dis
continuance of the efforts to bring
the bill to an early vote. Senator

this direction. expressed the opinion
that some arrangement soon would
be made which would insure the pas
sage OF the bill at. an early date
Senator Hale. In an open talk In the
senate said that. vote should be
reached by the end of next week.
Bill Sidetracked.
in the hope of bringing these
prophecies to realization the railroad
bill was sidetracked until Monday
Even in the face of the failure OF
the proposed Democratic alliance the
regulars express much confidence IN
their ability to get enough Democratic
votes to insure the passage OF the
rbill after making such concessions "a

pact. and some OF the Democrats ad-
nit this to be true
Senator Cummins' amendment re-
quiring that before going into effect,
increases in railroad rates shall have
the approval Of the Interstate Com
merce commission, was not disposed
