The total eclipse of the sun on May 2S next will be visible In our Southern States, and, as Professor Bigelow. of the United States Weather Bureau, says in an article in Appleton's Popular Science Monthly for May, "we are fortunate to have the show at home in our own country this time." Many foreigners will come to the United States to make observations. The track of the eclipse on May 28, Professor Bige low states, enters tho United States In southeastern Loulsana, passes over New Orleans centrally, over Mobile, Ala., which I? on Its southern edge', over Montgomery, Ala., on the northern edge, over Columbus, Ca., passes twenty-five miles south of At lanta, Ga., passes near Macon, Mlledgeville, Augusta, Columbia, S. C, and Charlotte. N. C, over Raleigh. N. C, which is ten miles north of tho central line, and over Norfolk. Va., fifteen miles north of the cen ter. The track is about fifty miles wide in all parts, and the duration of the eclipse varies from one minute and twelve seconds near New Orleans to one minute and forty four seconds near Norfolk on the central line. Out of about seventy eclipses of the sun which have occurred somewhere in the world within the nineteenth century, says Professor Bigelow, there have been only eight total eclipses of more or less dura tion visible on the North American conti nent. The others happened in places often remote from civilization and sometimes In totally Inaccessible localities, as over the ocean areas. The difficulty of transporting heavy baggage to the remote parts of Asia, Africa or South America is such as to pre clude all but a few scientists from any ef fort to observe eclipses. In 1S89 the United States government sent an expedition to Cape Ledo. West Africa. This expedition carried a complete equipment of scientific material. to be used for observations- such as telescopes, spectroscopes, polariscopes and photographic cameras. The rarty was prepared to observe the eclipse in its to tality after the most approved methods, but unfortunately lost the sun entirely during the critical moments by the tem porary obscuring of the sky through local cloud formations. The United States Weather Bureau has been conducting special observations on the cloudiness occurring from May 13 to June 13 in each of the three years 1S07. 108 and 1S09, between 8 a. m. and 9 a. m., the morning hours of the eclipse next month. The observations give substantially the same conclusion for each year namely, that there Is a maximum of cloudiness near the Atlantic coast in Virginia, extend ing back into North Carolina, and also near the Gulf coast in Louisiana and in southern Mississippi, while there is a min imum of cloudiness in eastern Alabama and central Georgia. While the cloud ob servations suggest that Georgia and Ala bama have the best sites for the eclipse, the duration is but one minute and twenty teconds In Alabama, while it Is one min ute and forty seconds in North Carolina, citations for observing the eclipse will be, therefore, selected In the latter State, al though the probability for minimum cloud iness Is twico as good In Georgia and Ala bama. The path of the total eclipse of May 1Ä, 1?00, after leaving the United Staes, crosses the North Atlantic ocean to Coimbra, Por tugal, and continues over North Africa to Its end at the Red sea. Stations which are not situated on the path of totality, says Professor Bigelow, will see the sun par tially eclipsed In proportion to the distance of the locality from the central line to the northern or southern limits. New England, New York, the Ohio valley and the south ern Rocky mountain district will see the sun about nine-tenths covered; the lake region, the lower Missouri valley and southern California will see an eight-tenths eclipse, and the northern Rocky mountain region about six-tenths or seven-tenths. The best way to view the partially eclipsed sun is to secure three strips of thin colored glass, one and a half inches wide by five inches long red green and blue bind them over the eye end of a good opera glass and adjust focus on the sun. No other eclipse track will occur in this country until June 8. 1918, when one will pass from Oregon to Florida, two minutes in duration. Another will occur in New England on Jan. 24, 1923. Eclipses seven minutes In duration will be visible in India in 1935 and in Africa in 1073 the longest for a thousand years. CO.LDRUMS. They Relate to Gov. Allen, of Porto Rico, nml the Constitution. Washington Tost. It seems that the Hon. Charles H. Allen, Governor of Porto Rico, saw fit on the oc casion of his inauguration at San Juan, two days ago, to address the natives as "fellow-citizens of Porto Rico." He also congratulated them upon the fact that they dwelt "under the same institutions of freedom, equality and education" as their fellow-citizens in this country. Most signifesnt of all, however, he wound up the proceedings by taking an oath "to support and defend the Constitution of the United States." It is hardly necessary for us to say that we entertain for Mr. Allen tho very high est respect. During his term of service here as assistant secretary of the navy he not only reconciled us to the loss of Roosevelt, but established If such a thing were possible an even higher claim to our confidence and admiration. As a mat ter of fact, a great many thoughtful and observant people have regretted that Mr. Allen was sent to Porto Rico. It seemed to them that men of Allen's caliber were needed much more urgently in Washing ten. In this we quite agreed with them. That he will prove a boon to the island and a tower of strength to our policy of ex pansion we do not doubt. It seems to us. however, that the administration might better have retained a force of such energy w here unless we be egregiously mistaken that force was in most imminent demand. We are moved to say, nevertheless, that Mr. Allen's oath to support the Constitu tion of the United States, in his capacity as Governor of Porto Rico, opens up a rather wide field of speculation. We have been told, upon the very highest author ity, that the Constitution is not In force in the island, and that the Porto Ricans are not in any sense our fellow-citizens. The tariff bill Just enacted into law treats Porto Rico as a foreign country. Why, then, should Mr. Allen have imported the United States Constitution into Porto Rico? Why should he have sworn to de fend and support an institution which is not In existence there? It would gratify us very greatly to have these conundrums expounded for our information. Street 3Ianners Abroad. New York Evening Sun. A woman of this city who was going abroad was advised by a man to make a note of the street manners of the people in the various European towns that she visit ed. In that way, he told her, she could estimate the good manners of the various places. On her return she presented the following to him: "In Rome nobody knocked against me; in Florence one man, who aidn't look like an Italian: in Parts two persons, who apologized profusely; In London seven persons, four apologized: in Berlin everybody collided with me and nobody apollglzed. while when the crimi nals were army officers they looked as If I had no right to be alive." It is an Interest ing human document. PULLED OUT THE PLUMS SHELBY VILLE DE3IOCRATIC TOM Til 131 OS IS FULL CHARGE. All Republicans but One Turned Out Slyers Will !ot Run for Governor Woman Killed by a Car. Special to the Indianapoll Journal. SHELBYVILLE, Ind., May 9. The City Council met this afternoon and completed the work of removing the Republican ap pointees. The four Republican councllmen were absent last night and one of the Dem ocrats, Elijah Ballard, was sick. Mayor Roth issued summonses for the Council to meet this afternoon at 4 o'clock and all were present. The Democrats have had several days' squabble over the new ap pointees, but by resolution they were able to elect the following: Street commissioner, John Dobbins; market master, Joseph Hock; sexton of cemeteries, Henry Cour tleyow; chief of fire department, William H. Robinson; electrician, Sherley Caru thurs. The office of city attorney was abol ished in order to remove the Republican Incumbent, Ara E. Llshef, and James H. Phlllppi, the Republican civil engineer, was not disturbed. Police committee elected were John Day DePrez, Charles P. Hale and Henry Emerick., Fred Kennedy, a Republican, was elected a member of the board, but he refused to serve in this way, thus making the Democrats entirely re sponsible for the futuro conduct of the city affairs. Some months ago slot machines and other gambling devices disappeared from the sa loons, but since the election of the Demo cratic Council they have again made their appearance. It Is not known positively, but it is rumored that the next move of the Council will be a gerrymander of the city. George M. Ray, in the Democrat to-night, entered a vigorous protest against the slate as elected by the Council this afternoon, intimating that the men who furnished the work and the money used In electing the Council were not consulted, He says: "The Democratic councllmen should reconslJer several of their proposed appointments, and at least give places to working Demo crats. The selections are a sore disappoint ment to nine-tenths of the Democrats In Shelbyvllle. However, councllmen, like others, soon forget their friends and are subject to taking on an air of contempt for those who do the work and furnish the money. The appointment of a street com missioner lost the city to the Democrats In 1S02 and will lose it to us again in 1902." Capt. 3Iyers la Not a Candidate. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind.. May 9. The Demo crats of Anderson and Madison county are a divided household on the question of allegiance to Capt. W. R. Myers for Gov ernor or B. H. Campbell for lieutenant governor. The old timers are with Myers, but the young blood Is for Campbell and the machine forces here are giving Capt. Myers little genuine support. Captain Myers is kept very busy with his mail, as letters are pouring In on him from all quarters of the State, urglnj him to an nounce himself for the place. This morn ing Mr. Myers said: "There goes about the hundredth letter in which I have said I will not be a candidate for the nomina tion -for Governor. I have made a frank statement, simply saying' that I am not financially able to go into a campaign such as the race suggested would require. And I will say to you. Just as I have said to others, that I have not the means to en ter politics as a candidate In any way shape or form, and I mean It." Thinks It Will Be Shlvely. Special to the' Indianapolis Journal.

Plan for the Blpr Republican Meeting at Greenontle Next Week. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENCASTLE, Ind., May 9. The com ing Fifth district congressional conven tion, to be held in this city May 15 Tues day next is exciting the keenest interest here. The meeting will be held In the opera house and already the demand for room exceeds the supply. Chairman Daniel V. Miller will be here this week and make all the preliminary arrangements. There are six candidates, and a protracted struggle probably will result. .Indications point to. a large attendance. The Terre Haute dele gation Is in advance heralded as 500 strong, and Clay county is promising to send over three hundred. These delegations will bring bands and a general whooping up for the several candidates will be the result. The meeting will take on a two-day as pect from the fact that the district Lin coln League is to meet for reorganization Monday afternoon. Following that meet ing will be the caucuses on that night of the different delegations, and on Tuesday there will be two conventions. The dele gates to the Philadelphia convention will be chosen first at 10 o'clock, after which at 10:CO o'clock will come the congressional convention. The same number of delegates (115) will serve in each convention, and in most cases it Is thought the same dele gates will act. The fourth-class postmasters of this dis trict will meet in this city on the 11th and many of them will take advantage of the date to take in the convention. Among the names suggested for permanent chairman of this convention is that of Enoch G. Ho gate, of Hendricks county, as that and Morgan counties are the only ones having no candidates for Congress.

RUSIIVILLE, Ind., May 9.-The Supreme Court to-day affirmed the Judgment for $1,000 damages obtained by Arthur B. Irvln, cashier of the Farmers' Bank of this city, against the Rushville Co-operative Tele phone Company for Its failure to give hlra telephone service when he made . demand for same. Banker Irvln and the officers of the tele phone company had trouble in the summer of 1SDS. On the plea of nonpayment of dues his residence. No. 29, was cut off.

Ten of these suits were field in all before Mr. Irvln's 'phone was reconnected. The trial of the suits before Judge L. J.

RUSIIVILLE, Ind., May 9.-The report sent out from Detroit Saturday that the De Haven claim against the government for $1,000,000 had been compromised by the payment of $3,000,000 is found to be untrue. A letter received by John F. Dc Haven, of Rushville, one of the De Haven heirs, from his attorney in Washington, says the claim has not been paid, but there is a strong probability of its being paid be fore long. The De Haven claim against the United States government is over one hundred years old, and is based on a loan of $50.000 made by Jacob De Haven, a wealthy tanner, of Susquehannah, Pa., to George Washington at Valley Forge, in 1777.
