WILL NOT BE OVERCHARGED. SENATOR JONES ASSURES VISITORS TO KANSAS CITV. Sab-Commfittce Has InvcHtiKateil and Finds Aceoiuotlnlion* Con He Se cured at Reaaonablc Hates—it Will Take Hard Work to tiet the Con vention Hall Ready, lint tlie Com mittee Is Satisfied on That Score. Tlie Campaign Hutton. 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. New Kork Life building. Kansas City, Wo., who will give all information desir ed, reserve rooms and mike contracts for all persons wishing to attend the conven tion.

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.

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 mil. , , Heat n1 tlt* foronn. “Mr. Abbott, with the aid of Mr Men denhall. detected th heat of tho corona probably for the flint time.

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.
