CITY AND_ DISTRICT. F The local circulation of Tae Evexrxa Bran is not only the largest and fullest, but it is also the sust, since the paper goes not alone into the hands of the people of the District of Columbia asa body, but regularly info tir Romes,—into the families of all classes, and into those of the money-spending as well as the money-earning portion of the community. An advertisement in its columns therefore reaches the eye of everybody worth reaching. THE WORLD'S FAIR OF 1892. Preparations for the Meeting of the National Board of Promotion. PROCERDINGS OF THE LOCAL COMMITTEE ON RE- CEPTION LAST NIGHT—ONE HUNDRED DELE- @ATES FROM TWENTY-FOUR STATES WILL BE PRESENT TOMORROW. The local committee appointed to receive the delegates of the national board of promotion of the world’s fair of 1392 met last night in parlor 10, Willard’s hotel, for the purpose of making final arrangements for the performance of their duties. Commissioner Douglass presided, and among those present were: Commissioner Hine, ex-Commissioner Wheatley, Hon. George Gorham, Hon. Simon Wolf, Capt. Frank Ald- rich, Dr. T. 8. Verdi, Hon. Beriah Wilkins, E. Kurtz Johnson. Hallet Kilbourn, Rev. Dr. Bart- lett, E. B. Stocking, Alex. D. Anderson, M. L Weller, C. Heurich, Prof. Fava, Gen. Belknap, W. C. Dodge, Archibald Hopkins, Julius Lans- burg, J. W. Babson. WHAT SECRETARY ANDERSON SAYS OF TOMOR- ROW'S CONVENTION. Mr. Anderson explained that the convention will meet tomorrow at noon in the parlors of the hotel, and that it was desirable that the members of the committee should be on hand atleastan hour earlier. He read ~~ from Gov. Fleming of Florida, the Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ association of Baltimore, the Memphis merchants’ exchange, the [ndian- spolis board of trade and the corn and flour exchange of Baltimore, all promising attend- ance or representation. IT WILL BE 4 NOTABLE GATHERING. ‘The prospect was, he said, that there will be about one hundred delegates present, repre- senting twenty-four states. Dr. Curry, ex- minister to Spain and Ex-Minister Soteldo, the latter having just returned from South Ameri- ca, will attend the banquet and respond to toasts. Gov. Lee of Virginia, and Gov. Jack- son, of land, have promised to attend, the rernor of Dakota will be ———— and probably be THE BANQUET will take place at the hotel in the evening, tickets for which will be distributed to sub- scribers by the treasurer, Mr. Johnson, at the meeting of the board tomorrow. Col. McKibben has tendered the use of the steamer Corcoran to the delegates for the pur- pose of visiting Mount Vernon during their stay.

As stated in yesterday’s Star the United States Supreme Court decided the case of the Metropolitan railroad company against the District of Columbia in favor of the company. The suit was brought by the District in 1840 to recover from the railroad company $161,622 for work done and materials used in paving between and immediately on either side of the company’s tracks between the years 1871 and 1875. The laws creating the railroad companies required them to keep in repair the space cov- ered by their tracks and for the space of two feet on each side of said tracks. When the board of public works came to improve these streets the railroad declined to do its portion of the work, on the ground that its portion of the streets were already in good repair. The District in improving these streets im- proved the whole surface. The Washington and Georgetown railroad company paved be- tween their tracks but refused to pave the two feet adjacent to their track. The Metropolitan railroad company. for the inost part, refused to ve any partof the tracks, Suite were insti- luted against bothcompanies. In the case just decided the company plead the statute of limi- tation. The District Supreme Court held that the District of Columbia was not a municipal corporation. but partook of sovereign power, por peo therefore not bound by the statute of limitations. Judge Bradley. who rendered the decision of the court, heid the contrary view, and argued that the District is a municipal cor- poration. A similarcase against the Washin; ton and Georgetown railroad company for the recovery of over $40,000 is controiled by this decision. W SIGNED. The Ball Tossers Waiting for Conces- sions from the Magnates. oe ONLY A FEV Yesterday being contract day in base ball circles should have produced a good deal of mews matter, but owing to the plans of the players’ brotherhood the ordinary interest did not materialize. Contracts were ready for the men at each club's headquarters, but only a few players signed. Anson was the only Chicago man who affixed his name to an agreement. Pfeffer was ap- proached by Spaulding, but nothing came of their conference. In an interview Spaulding reasserted his ignorance of the brotherhood scheme and said that the league will continue, whatever happens. ‘THE BROTHERHOOD MEANS BUSINESS, In Pittsburg noone signed. When Sunday was given his check for back pay he replied to Nimick’s proffer of a contract and request to “No, sir, Icannot. I am a member of the brotherhood and until the league settles the matter of our grievances none of us can sign.” “Well, but you said there was no use in our reserving you; that you would play with Bs next season.” “Yes, sir, I did, and if the brotherhood mat- Ser is settled satisfactorily I will sign, otherwise I will stick by the brotherhood.” ‘The chances are no general si will be done until after the league meeting, which will be held in New York November 12. It is under- stood that the brotherhood will assemble in New York on the 4th in order to formulate a which o test will be made. If the requests are complied with that will probably end the matter.

The Great Planet Jupiter and the Tre- mendous Forces at Work on It. From the New York Sun. Astronomers have of late been making some exceedingly interesting discoveries about the huge planet Jupiter, which is now visible in the evening sky. When we are thinking about worlds it is just as well to tLink of Jupiter, for that isa giobe worth pondering over. Thir- teen hundred times as large as this big earth of ours, and iliuminated by four obedient moons Jupiter has uncommon claims to con- ideration. Butit is notso much the gigantic ize of that wonderful planet as the extraordi- nary appearances and occurences upon its surface that command particular attention at present. Most readers know that when Jupiter is looked at with a telescope certain bands, or belts, are seen extending in parallel lines across its disk. We ordinarily see the great planet thus represented in illustrated books of astronomy. It is among these belts of Jupiter that the astronomers have observed some very surprising things. The most conspicuous belts lie on either side of the planet's equator, in what upon the earth we should call the tropi- cal latitudes. Jupiter's equator, however, is so slightly inclmed from the plane of his orbit that his tropical circles do not extend as far north and south as the belts lie. The first ex- planation that naturally occurs to the observer who watches these belts is that they must be enormous bands of cloud encircling the giant planet on each side of its equator. If he has & powerful telescope and a patient mind he discovers that changes of form and position occur in the belts, which strengthen the prob- ability that they are composed of clouds, The various colors that they show, and in particu- lar the prevailing red tint which characterizes the largest belts, may excite wonder as to the nature and condition of masses of vapor that could present such an appearance, but upon the whole there seems to be nothing to seri- ously discredit the idea that the greater num- ber of these phenomena really are clouds. And now we come tothe most surprising facts. It is evident that a tremendous current is continually sweeping right around the huge globe of Jupiter over its equatorial regions, The cloud belts are all in motion, but not all with the same velocity. The nearer they are to the equator the faster they move. The ob- servations of Mr. Stanley Williams and others show that in the north temperate zone there is @ broad ao band encircling the planet which may possibly be the actual surface of Jupiter's globe. By comparing the rate of motion of cloud-like objects seen in this region with that of the adjacent cloud belt it is found that thi latter is moving much more swiftly. The general period of Jupiter's rotation upon its axis, notwithstanding the enormous size of the fogs appears to be a little short of ten hours. jut the equatorial clouds go around in about nine hours and fifty minutes, while the clouds thirty degrees north and south of the equator require five minutes longer to com- plete a circuit. In other words, the equatorial part of the atmosphere appears to be flowing past the regions on either side of it at the rate of some 240 miles an hour. This, as . Flammarion has remarked, is incomparably faster than the most violent cyclone upon the earth. And this gigantic current of wind, if so it may be called, forms a perpetual hurricane, blowing around Jupiter as unremittingly as our trade winds, but with inconceivable power and energy. The result of the varying velociti with which adjacent portions of the Jovian at mosphere appear to move should naturally be the formation of enormous whirling storms, cy- clones and tornadoes of incredible fury. It is probable that, looked at in a vertical sec- tion, the atmosphere of Jupiter would present an equally remarkable contrast and conflict of motions, There is evidence that the dark col- ored spots, or clouds, are at a greater elevation than those of a —_ hue, and it has been ob- served thatthe dark spots move more slowly than the bright ones. It follows that the deeper you go into the atmosphere the faster it is found to be moving, and hence it may be that the actual solid surface of the planet, if any solid surface 1t has, rotates within its shell of clouds considerably faster than the shell itself turns. Another very singular phenomenon of the strange and tremendous planet Jupiter is the greatred spot which has been seen upon its southern hemisphere ever since the summer of 1878. Incredible as the thought seems, and difficult as its explanation upon any analogy drawn from terrestrial geology undoubtedly would be, there are certain facts which sug- gest the possibility that this phenomenon may be an elevated region of the planet thrust up through its environment of clouds. It must be remembered that the so-called red spot, which really appears only as a small oval blotch upon the Risk of Jupiter, is in reality some 30,000 miles long and 7,000 broad. Think of a mountain of those dimen- sions raised above the clouds! Then, to add to the startling suggestions of the hypothesis, the color of this gigantic elevation or pro- tuberance isa fiery red. Perhaps the strongest reason for regarding the red spot as an ele- vated mass is the fact that the clouds of the southern cloud belt, close to which it lies, never pass over it, but on the contrary, in passing by it, are driven out of their course and curve around its southern border, just as clouds in the earth’s atmosphere glide along the shoul- ders of lofty mountain peaks whose summits rise above their level. It might be urged in be- half of this view that inasmuch as the force of gravity on Jupiter is nearly two and a half times as great as on the earth, the major Portion of its atmosphere must be pressed close to its surface and that consequently its clouds do not float at such a height as the gigantic proportions of the planet might otherwise lead us to expect, so that the elevation of the red spot need not be supposed unduly great in order to place it above the general level of the cloud stratta, Then there is the commonly accepted theory that Jupiter is yet in an early stage of development to support the hypothesis of the elevation of a large region of its surface in the manner in which parts of the earth's crust were thrust up, folded and crumpled in the fiery ages of its history. However we look at them, these strange dis- coveries on Jupiter indicate that but a very small part of the energies of creation are cen- tered upon our own little globe. Jupiter has winds and storms and clouds and geological convulsions that make the great events of ter- restrial existence seem but @ miniature repre- sentation of planetary life. After all, the man who is said to want the earth doesn’t appear to be so very grasping; if he wanted Jupiter his ambition would be truly gigantic. soe A HARROWING TALE. Twenty Days in an Open Boat Without Food or Water. The seven survivors of the ill-fated steamer Earnmoor of the Earn line, which foundered at sea on September 5 in a cyclone, when 300 miles off Tark’s Island, bound from Baltimore to Rio Janeiro, arrived in New York yesterday by the steamer Santiago, from Nassau. They tell a story of terrible suffering. The Earn- moor struck a terrific gale on September 4, which increased in force, and at 11:30 a.m. on the following day the vessel gave a lurch and foundered. As the steamer sank the port life bort floated off and the men scrambled in—the second officer, second and third engineers, four sailors, three firemen and the cook» An effort was made to save the rest of the crew, anda drag was made of the painter, but the boat was | blown away and the ours wrested from the hands of the men, so that no more could be saved, The cries of the drowning men as they were d.shed about by the mountainous waves were heard by the men in tue boat, but they could not be reached and had to be abandoned to their fate. It was an oversight that the boats had not been provisioned in anticipation of the | calamity, as it would have saved the terrible | sufferings of the survivors. The boat drifted | into the gulf stream, where the air was warm, but this increased tne mnteusity of their thirst. Eleven vessels passed them. One, a British bark, the men are certain saw them and deliber- ry Hoe them to their fate. Wheu 300 miles off ras they were picked up by a schooner. The men were so weak that they had to be lifted upon the vessel’s deck, and Ed Johnson, « Norwegian, fell overboard and was drowned. The men were twenty-two days in the open boat without food. They quenched their thirst by catching water as vd ey could, When six years old Springer of Lan- caster, Pa., tured his skull. The protrud- ing brain was replaced and the fracture tre- panned.

THE EVENING STAR ts o PAPER OF TO-DAY, not of YESTERDAY nor of LAST WEEK. It priate ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS. This is conspicuously true of all classes of news, but especiallyso in regard to Local News and District Affairs. THE STAR has a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL RE- PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washingt: ever thought of emploving, and ITS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FACILITIES ARE MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. It is therefore able to print each day a full report of every trausaction of public ine terest occurring in the District up to the very hour of going to press. ai, ie | —:0:——_ By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES: ,for REGULAR AND SPECIAL DIs- PATCHES, and with the difference of ite readers every afternoon the news of the WHULE EASTERN HEMISPHERE for the entire day, and up to 12 o’clock eud Atrica for the morning papers. +0: Equally does THE STAR lead all its contemporaries in the publication of the NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- | respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from its own system touching every ‘city, town and hamlet in the United States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print atonce a full report of every event of consequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Atlantic and Pa- citic Oceans. —:0: — @ NOTE THE RESULT: ¢9 —0:—— THE STAR HAS MORE THAN | THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR | SUBSCRILERS and MORE THAN FIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON. It is de- livered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE SAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people of the District in view. with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it,in and nothingelse. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSO- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It is in fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGETHER. Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST IN THE CITY. —:0: —— In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STAK does not rely upon empty boasts to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIG; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which tew papers invite, and which those that boast most are least able to stand. —So: © The esteem in which THE STAB Public is conclusively showm by the fig- ures given below. In the first six months of each of the
