The principal reason given for this belier 1s that Secretary Folger 1s desirous of mak- ing a report to the Prestdent of the operations of the Treasury department under his administra- tlon, especially In connection with the financial Operations of the government during the past fiscal year before retiring from the Treasury.

RFFECT OF THE REPUBLICAN DEFZAT IN OnTO— SOMETHING OF INTEREST TO DEPARTMENT CLERK: Senator Don Cameron and Chairman Cooper, of the Pennsylvania republican committee, were at the Post Office department to-day. The former sald that the result of the election in Ohio had not shaken his faith In the success of the repubit- can tleket fp Pennsylvanta, and that he ts confl- dent of Gen. Beaver’selection, Those -2quainted with the political feeling in the state satu to-day that the defeat of McKinley in Ohio, wno is a strong protectionist, will “cause the repub- Heans th Pittsburg’ and the western part of the state, who are greatly discontented, to reflect upon’ the dangers of a republican defeat and influence them to yote for Gen. Beaver in spite of thelr opposition to certain elements in local polities. | On this account it 18 predicted that the Ohio defeat will strengthen the party in that section. It 1s stated that the republican congres- sional committee have directed that lists be pre- pared of those in the departments who have only partially paid or falled to pay thelr assessments, and that steps will be taken to remove such per- sons and appoint others in. thelr places. It is maintained that the recent discharges in the goy- ernment printing office were for the purpose of getting rid of those having no political backing and awarding the places to others. One gentle- man stated that Mr. Rounds had told him that this Was the reason for the recent discharges. ‘The Ceme: THRER OF THEM NOW WITMIN TEI. nACoPic HAILING DISTANCE—A NEW BODY, SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN BROKEN OFF FROM THE GREAT COMET—WHAT IS SAID AT THE OBSERVATORY. ‘The presence of three comets in our sky, at the Present time, affords a pleasant diversion to the astronomers, Wearled ‘with the routine of astro nomical work. ‘The clouds that overcast the sky this morning prevented observations from being made of the new comet announced by Prof. Schmidt at Athens. Yesterday morning Prot. Fris- by and Mr. Winlock, at the Naval Observatory, continued their observations of Cruls comet, and Prof. Frisby observed Barnard’s comet. The clouds mad? observing very diMicult, though at one time it alded in producing a very beautiful ef- fect, several parallel cloud drifts apparently divid- ing the monster comet into sections. THE OLD COMETS. Prot. Frisby sald to a Stan reporter to-day, that he estimated the position of Barnard’s comet to be at 5 o'clock yesterday morning about 10 hours, 24 minutes right ascension, and i6 degrees, 4 min- utes declination south. ‘Tie clouds and approach- ing daylight prevent any accurate observation. ‘This comet is a telescopic comet, and as observed by Prof, Frisby, appeats to be a small confused mass of cometary matter somewhat resembling a. small nebula, ill-defined but nearly circular and without a tail. Crul’s comet so far as could be estimated, presented to the observers yesterday, the same'appearance as during the last two oF three days.” 'The outer envelope was well marked. ‘The extended nucleus was only seen indistinctiy on account of clouds. Its position was estimated approximately at 4:50 a.m. to be 10 hours, 25 min- utes, 14 seconds right ascension, and 11 degress, 16 minutes declination south. . THE NEW COMET. i The cloudy Weather this morning was particu- larly annoying to scientific men who desired to observe the new object aunounced by the Athen. jan astronomer. ‘The statement by Prof. Switt, of Rochester, that the new comet 1s a fragment of the great comet broken off In grazing the sun ob- tained some consideration from the learned gen- tlemen at the observatory this morning. ‘The meager Information contained in the cablegram, and the possibility that even that has been muti: lated in Its passage incline astronomers to be cai ful in basing any calculation or announcement upon it, The terms used In describing the position and motion of the newly-discovered body are not yery definite. “If,” sald Prof. Frisby, “it 1s only four degrees away'from the great comet, and has the same motion, there are grounds for Suspicion. that it isa fragment of the great comet. ‘Then, again, there 13 an objecgion to this theory. It it 1s four degrees away it is. in linear measurement, atleast $,000,000 miles from the comet, and it 13, hardly possibie that a fragment could get so far away. It may be many times that distance but appear to be only four degrees distance as pro- Jected on the celestial sphere.” HOW IT MAY BB FOUND OUT. By carefully determing the orbit of the new body, the Professor said, and then ascertainlug the pole where It meets thé orbit of the old comet, if it does meet, it may not only be determined whe- ther {tis fraginent of the great comet, but the precise point where the explosion or separation occurred may be discovered. “Can it be,” said THe STAR reporter, talking to a number of assetnbled star-gazers, “that the new comet is a plece of the sun knocked off by the big comet in his perihelion passage 2” “If so,” sald a grave astronomer, “it would not be likely’ to have the same orbit.” “Tt 18. a good time for us to speculate,” sald an- other astronomer; “if it keeps cloudy for six months no one will have a chance to confute our speculations.” ———__+e-_______ .
