COMET IS PLAINLY
VISIBLE IN WEST
Clear Night Gave All vInItans a
Chance to See the Center of All
Scientific Interest.

The hours Of vigilance to which
many yinitans have subjected them
selves in order to get a glimpse of
Halley's comet before 1t passes again
beyond the eye of man, was rewarded
by clear vision of the wanderer that
has so upset scientific theories and
calculations during the last week.
The comet was plainly visible in the
western sky from about $3.50 to 10
O'clock last night. The night was per-
fectly clear and those who cared to
look saw the comet Contrary to
scientific reports the comet was
neither without a tail nor pos
sessed of split appendage. The
comet, In appearance. was slightly
paler and less distinct than many or
the stars. but was easily distinguish
able from the other stars, as a dull
glowing streak Of light struck straight
up from the comet.
The clear night also afforded fine
view of the total eclipse of the moon,
which occurred shortly after eleven
O'Clock. The shadow began to OBJ
scure the moon about 1920 and the
full eclipse came about 11:15.

TWO BATTLESH|PS
VOTED BY SENATE
Bill as Passed BY Senate Provides no
Two Shall Be Built BY the
Same Company.

Washington, May 24-Voting down
by vote of 26 to SO, an amendment
offered by Mr.. Burton to authorize
only one new battleship instead Of
two, the senate yesterday passed the
naval appropriation bill. The bill car
ries an appropriation of almost $134,-
O0O, 900.
It was before the senate for two
days, the debate, being confined al
most exclusively to the battleship ques-
tion.
Two important measures were adj
opted yesterday. One of them offered
by Senator Johnson appropriates $780,
900 for the purchase of torpedo boats
whose vitals are below the normal
load line, and the other, by Senator
Jones, eliminates railroad, county and
municipal bonds from the securities
which may be deposited by contrac-
tors.
The naval increase for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1911, provided
by the bill is as follows:
Two first class Sattleships to. cost
not exceeding $6,OO0.OO0 each and
when equipped with armor and arma
ment about $12,5OO,O0O each.
Two fleet colliers to cost not exceed
ing one million dollars each.
Five submarine torpedo boats not
exceeding a total Of two million five
hundred thousand dollars.
Six torpedo boat destroyers to cost
not exceeding seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars each.
The house bill provided for only
four submarines and no torpedo boat
destroyers, and the senate also added
provisions that not more than one OF
the battleships should be built by the
same company.
