NEW YOKK. Nov. 14.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London, says:
' The German emperor's visit to Eng
land is the chief topic of serious dis
cussion and ingenious conjecture. On
the continent he has suddenly loomed
up as the commanding figure In Euro

influence on the winning side at a

At Williams Bay. Wis., the special
apparatus for observing and photo
graphing the mwteoric shower is in
place on the roof of the Yerkes obser
vatory. Professor Barnard has spent a con
siderable time for a few rights search
ing for the Ephemerides of the mete
oric cloud. The position of this cloud
in our sky has been quite Inaccurately
determined. The main body should
now be entering the constellation Leo.
Though he has searched carefully with
the big Yerkes telescope, the profesor
has not yet discovered anything which
he could identify as the meteoric cloud.
In his search Prof. Barnard has dis
covered many new Nebulae and one
seen last night la exactly in the spot
where the meteors should be. This
signifies nothing, however, unless on
further observations the Nebulae Is
found to have moved.
The sky last night was totally ob
scured with clouds.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-A special to

Rear Admiral Van Reypen, surgeon
general of the navy has received a

Asiatic squadron. Informing him thai

The situation surely In steadily im- j

had been mistaken In his age up to

revoked and he was retlivd.

The British campaign, however, has
jiot yet been won and a full fortnight
remains In which Kimberly may be
caitured and Ladysmlth exposed to a
destructive long ramge fire.
General White has done great work
In holding back General Joubert's
forces from lower Natal, but It is pre
mature to conclude that the latter Is
wasting time, ammunition and men
laying seige to a camp which he can
never render untenable.

from Natal and the western border Is
favorable, the best military writers In

One of the most curious results of the
annexation of Porto Rico will be an
officer shows that of the entire naval
force there are only 34 patients, sev
eral of whom are native employed In
the navy yard and most of whom are
suffering from minor complaints.
'The condition af Admiral Wa'snn."
he states, "continues good. The re
ports of his condition ahat were print
ed In th? home papers were exagger
ated. Hi ha not b?en on the sick
list."
Considerable satisfaction is full by
I Admiral Van Reypen at the excellent
; health of the navU forces and much
I satisfaction !s expressed by officials of
: the department who appreciate that
almost a thousand marinew stationed In
! the Cavlte navy yards are subject to
j the same conditions which makes the
sick list of the army so large,
i Admiral Van Reypon has Information
that unles congress places the asHist-
I ant surgeons of the navy on a better
! footing four officers holding this rank
and attached to the Asiatic squadron
will resign their commlsnlon and enter
the army.
Assistant surgeons have to occupy
the steerage aboard ship and receives
the pay of a second lUmtenant while
a Junior surgeon of the army receives
the pay and allowance of a first lieu
tenant. There are now seven vacan
cies In the marine corps of the navy
and It Is difficult to secure educated
men willing to accept the small pay
and allowance which an assistant sur
geon of the navy receives. Admiral
Van Reypen will appeal to congress for
relief.
ARRIVED AT NEW YORK.
The Advance Guard of the Mnsirlc
Shower was Seen Early Yester
day Morning.
NEW YORK. Nov. 14. With a bril
liant swish that lighted up the heavens
for quite 13 seconds, the first of the
Leonlls announced Its arrival Jut be
fore midnight last night. Following
the first were others of equal Intensity,
enough ,to ninke the display satisfac
tory to those who waited up to see It.
However tha meteoric shower will net
appear at Its greatest brilliancy mill
Thursday morning after midnight.
During the next 4 hours this earth
wll! have such a meteoric pelting
It has not enjoytel since ISfiil. when the
heavy belt of Leonids wa last pene
trated. Those seen last night and this
morning gave evidence of what may
be expected. The' first appeared In the
northeast, bursting Into the atmosphere
at a point about 43 degr's above the
horl2on. Th "lr Journey was a long one
and It loft behind a fiery trail of green
ish tint that was visible for many
seconds.
After the appearance of the constel
lation I eo above the horizon, the ta
of meteors was fairly steady, though
It could hardly be called a shower. All
over the city Watchers were stationed
and from many strvt corners the Itln
erant astronomers did a thriving busl
nesa with th lr portable telescopes.
Some of the earlier meteors were of
the magnitude of a plnnft of the first
cluss. but os Leo mounted higher In
the heavens the period of flight ap
p.?ared shorter and they lost their brll
llancy. Fortunately the atmosphere
was clear and few clouds Interrupted
the view of the heavens. Equally sat
Isfactory conditions should prevail to
night. While observations of the meteoric
shower are b'Ing.made from every
university In the coun'ry, Harvard
sterns to be taking the lead In gather
ing data. From the Harvard observa
tory requests have been Issued for re
ports of all rvgular observations of
Leonids. Those reports will be com
pared and much valuable daita are ex
pected to result.
