Kansas City, June 35 —Six m- mbers of
the National Demociatic
put commi t<e on arrangements for the
Kansas City Convention held a brief meet
ing lure to-day.
The members came particularly to In
vestigate the oft-repeated charges that
the Kansas City hotel ke pers are de
manding extortionate rates for the enter
tainment of convention guest a. Before the
sub-committee left Kansas City this even
ing National Chairman James K. Jones
issued a statement to the country in
which he gives assurance that not only
ran accommodations be had at reasonabl.
iates, but that, as the situation ap; ears
to him, convention visitors to Kansas City
may be tak n care of at more reasonable
rates than has been the o s at any for
mer convention.
The sub-commiitee also carefully inves
tigated the progress being made in th *
building of Convention Hall. S me doubt
Was expressed by members whether he
great hall could be completed by July 4.
and there was talk of urging the local
committee to have a night shift of me
chanics present to work up n the build
ing, but after the sub-comrni,tee l ad b on
In conference with the local commi!tee
and the supervising architects they 10
longer doubted the assurances that the
hall would be finished in t me.
Tickets of Adnilftsipit.
After the adjournment it was stated that
the only business of public interest trans
acted was the apportionment of tickets of
admission to the convention among the
delegates end alternates. It was decided
that each of the 930 delegates should re
ceive besides his own seat, four tickets
of admission to all sessions of the con
vention, but that no extra tickets would
be given to the alternates, their perquis
ites being limited to a seat in the conven
tion.
Judge Wilson of Colorado displayed a
sample of the Democratic campaign but
ton here to-day. It is in the form of a
clover leaf. The inscription, strangely
enough, is in gold letters and is as fol
lows:
“Democracy Stands for Bimetallism, Not
Monometallism.’’
Not trusts.”
“Republic, Not Empire.”
Chairman Jones’ Statement.
After a conference with the leading
hotel men, and with the General Con
vention Committees of Kansas Ci v,
Chairman Jones handed the Associated
Press the following signed statement:
“The three or four leading hotels have
already contracted practically for their
full capacity. On -account of the in
creased expense in preparing for the con
vention, the managers of the larger ho
tels felt themselves compelled to require
contracts for a minimum time of four
days, the time to begin at the option of
the delegation making the contract, but
they did not increase their regular rotes.
“In the other hotels, nearly forty in
number, and the eight or ten thousand
outside rooms listed by the Local Com
mittee on Public Comfort, accommoda
tions can be had at reasonable rates, and
payment is only required for the length
of time the rooms are occupied. 0
‘'The local committee on public comfort
has so systematized its work that it ap
pears to me that it is possib’e for any
man to be taken care of better and at
more reasonable rates than has- been die
case at any former convention.
“The general work of the bureau of n
formation and committee on public com
fort is in charge of A. D. L. Hamilton.

COURT STOPPED QUARANTINE.
Judge Held That It DI "criminated
Agoi|it Olio Race.
San Francisco,* June 35, —In the United
States Circuit Court to-day, Judge Mor
row rendered a decision in the case of Jew
Ho vs. the Board of Health of this city,
dissolving the general quarantine of a sec
tion of Chinatown* now enforced by the
Board of Health, owing to the alleged ex
istence of plague in this city.
Judge Morrow held that the quarantine
was discriminatory in its character, inas
much as only memijers of the Mongolian
race were held within its restrictions; that
the method of quarantine tended more to
increase the danger of contagion from
plague because it quarantined a district
instead of the houses within a district.
Regarding the existence of plague.
Judge Morrow stated that he was not
qualified to pass judicially upon the ques
tion, owing to conflicting testimony, but
that if it came within his power to de
cide in the matter, he would declare that
plague does not or has not existed.
At the meeting of the Board of Health
this afternoon, the quarantine was de
clared dissolved.
SICKNESS OF THE MARINES.
Seem* It Wan Cnn*ed by Change of
Food and Climate.
Washington, June 15.—The report of the
surgecn in charge at the Norfolk navy
yard upon the recent strange illness of
the marines there has been received at
the navy department. As indicated in the
ir S3 reports, it shews that the men w r ere
made sick by a stidden change of the
weather; by water to which they were un
accustomed; and perhaps by the diet to
which. Ming now to the station, they
were unaccustomed. If any unfit article
of food was instrumental in caus ng the
illness, H at fact could not be ascertained.
It does not appear that any officer was
responsible for the affair.

STUDIES OF SUN'S CORONA.
OBSERVATIONS OF THE ECLIPSE AT
WADESHORO, N. C.
Photograph fc Plate* Developed Give
Clear liifliention* of the Crossing
and RecroftMing of tlie Corona’*
Filament*—Movement of Slimlou
Hands Too Itapbl for Observation.
Heat of the Corona Was Observed
for the First Time.
Washington, June 15.—A preliminary ac
count of the observations at Wades boro,
N. C., during the recent eclipse, under
the direction of the Smithsonian. Institu
tion. has been prepared by C. G. Abbott
of the institution.
“The main object of investigation,” says
Mr. Abbott, “was the corona, and of this,
first, a photographic study of the detailed
structure of the inner corofia; with, sec
ond, a determination by the bolometer
whether appreciable heat reaches us from
it, and, if possible, an examination of
the form of Its spectrum curve.
“The eclipse was notably not a dark
one. ‘No second magnitude stars were ob
served with tho naked eye. Most of the
observers saw only Mercury. The high
degree of illumination o|**ratcd unfavor
ably in the study of the outer corona.
“Tlie fall of temperature and rising
breeze was distinctly noticeable before to
tality. No change in direction- of ihe win 1
was noted. Shadow bands were seen, but
those observers who attempted to me s
ure their velocity found them tco rapid
and flickering for any successful work n
this direction.
“It was noticeable that the birds were
silent during totality, but true to th<lr
nature, the English sparrows were last to
be still and first to begin their di-cussion
of the eclipse after tlie return of light.
Corona** Great Streamer*.
“The attention of all visual observers
was caught by the equatorial streamers.
Father Woodman described the appear
ance as like mother of pearl, but different
observers differed on- the color estimate.
A yellowish green tinge was noted by
the artist of the party, Mr. Child, while
to others, the light was straw' colored or
golden. The visual telescopic observa
tions of the writer gave little indica
tion of the finely divided structure of the
inner corona, which he had noted at Pike’s
Peak during the eclipse of 3878. One rei
markable prominence was seen- as Weil
as several smaller ones, but the coronal
streamers did not give to visual observers
the impression of being connected in any
way with the prominences.
“AM observers reported a successful
carrying out of the programme. The
greatest interest centered in the direct
corona negatives taken with the 13;>-foot
telescope. Mr. Smillie exposed six 30x30
plates during totality, with times ranging
from one-half to sixteen seconds. All
these negatives have not yet been devel
oped. Those of one-half second, two sec
onds and four seconds expose, have been
hurriedly examined, however, and they
give clear indications of tho crossing and
recrossing of filaments like the appear
ance off a field of grain bending in the
wind. The prominences and polar stream
ers appear in imposing magnitude and de

Rochester, N. Y., June 15.—Otis Day
opened with brilliant sunshine and cool
breezes. A major general's salute of
thirteen guns, was fired at on early hour,
proclaiming the official opening of tho
celebration, in honor of the homocoming
of Maj. Gen. Elwell S. Otis. Fully 100,-
0<'?0 visitors came in for the day.
There were regulars, both Infantry and
artillery, to head the parade, and tn*
Marine Band from Washington led the
musicians. The arrival of Gen. Joseph
Wheeler was the occasion of a demonstra
tion of enthusiasm, such as has rarely
been s(*en here.
There were fireworks and a band con
cert to-night in honor of the General, and
the day was brought to u close with n
banquet nt Powers’*Hall.
Gen. Otis made a brief speech, saying:
“In spite of all that has been said, the
Philippine Islands are in the possession
of the United States, and the United
Slates cannot get rid of them and can
not withdraw. Intelligent men of the
Philippines want the United States’ pro
tection and government, and to them I
have promised protection from all loss of
life and property, and I know that this
country will fulfill that promise.”
Spoeeli of Gen. Wheeler.
Gen. Joseph Wheeler, who was accorded
an enthusiastic reception, made the speech
of the evening.
Gen. Wheeler began by recalling that
the city of Frederick, Md. f which “gave
to the country the great Jurist, Chief Jus
tice Taney, and the naval hero. Admiral
Schley, was the birthplace on March 25,
IS3B, of Maj. Gen. Elwell Stephen Oris;
but from his earliest childhood until duty
and patriotic devotion Impelled him to de
vote his life to the service of his country,
the city of Rochester was his home.
A Sketch of Gen. Otis’ military career
followed. Continuing. Gen. Wheeler said:
”It was, however, fortunate for the gov
ernment that upon the army reorganiza
tion, July 28, 186f>, Gen. Otis was retained
with the rank of lieutenant colonel in the
regular army. /*
“Gen. Otis was selected by the Prcsi lent,
to organize and command the School of In
fantry and Cavalry at Fort Iveavenworth.
and his service in this Important duty hes
been highly commended by officers of the !
army, who also appre late his v ilna le I
service in revising the a? my iegu atlons. J
In 1880, Otis became a full colonel, and
on Nov. 2. 1893, was selected os one of the
six brigadiers general of the legal.*t
tirmv.
