PHILADELPHIA, November TO-
Ccasting earthward down 17-degree
slope in space. the thickest swarm OF
YIieteors known to science Is nearing
this planet.
So vast are its numbers that al
though It's main section Ia still three
years distant its advance guards to the
number of q dozen or more an hour are
expected to appear in the early morning
of Saturday, November IS, rs well as
for . few days before and after this.
Swarm Ii LeOnid Meteors.
The swarm Is the Leonid meteors,
known for 1000 years past, visiting
earth three times century, and
occasionally filling the sky with rain
Of FIRE.
FiKuratively they are coming from
above earth because their orbit Is In
clined II degrees to the plane Of the
earth's orbit.
Astronomers plan TO count the OUT
riders Of this meteoric host from
November IL to II, because the num-
bers seen may indicate whether the
great fireworks display in 1888, or to
throw q due. as they have done more
than once In the past.
A call for volunteers to assist in
watching both Saturday and Sunday

persons willing to spend the night out

S1&,OO,O|O NAVY
PLAN WINS JAPAN
Compromise Covers 81,
Years of London Treaty.
Goes to Cabinet.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, November 10.--A new naval
program totaling 373, 000, 900 yen (about
S186 1000, 00O) and covering the six-year
term of the London naval treaty has
taken definite form az the result OF 9
Abo. minister Of the navy, and Junno-
suke Inouye, minister of finance.
The compromise of Ministers Abo and
Tnouye will be submitted to the cabinet
tomorrow and its adoption was consid-
cred probable. It was reached after
extended discussions aimed to reconcile
the divergent claims Of their respective
ministries.
Aviation 70 Be Increased.
The program includes 10 per cent
increase of the navy's aviation arm and
so 900 900 yen for modernization Of
capital ships.
The program is designed to give
Japan the maximum tonnage and EN-
cheney permitted by the London pact
and is divided into three parts, as fol-
lows: First, 218,000,000 yen for new
warship construction, including 16O, 000,-
900 yen for vessels limited by the Lon
don treaty and $4,000, 900 yen for naval
aviation expansion: second, 10000, 900
ven for the addition OF IL new air
squadrons to the present strength of II
squadrons, including 100000 yen for
maintenance; third, 5000 900 yen for
moderniZation of existing warship
strength, including 100000 yen for
modernization of capital ships.
Civil Element Gains.
The compromise indicates the civilian
element of the government was largely
successful in its stand against the navy's
larger claims.
It was estimated the London treaty
has relieved Japan Of the necessity Of
building naval tonnage costing 506, 000,-
600 yen (about $254 900, 000). The navy
claimed most Of this sum should be
devoted to the new Six-year program,
while the civilian members Of the cabi-
net insisted at least one-third should
be devoted to reduction of taxes.
The compromise means about 1885,
100000 yen will be available for tax
reduction-10,0 900 900 yen in 1891 and
25,O00,000 yen for each Of the next I'VE
years.
