British Steamer Reports the- Loss of a Lare Steamer at Sfc-a. CHICAGO, Jlay 7. A special to the Record from Philadelphia, says: Captain Campbell, of the . British steamer Tenby which arrived at Phlla- delphla today from Port SalJ. brines an account of wreckage? at sea which is causing great anxiety among ship ping men. The captain believes a mar itime disaster has occurred, involving the loss of an Atlantic liner. The Ten by fell In with the werckage mentioned at a point west of the mld-Atlantlc and the lookouts observed a bark fly Jng distress signals but It was too far off and the sea too rough for the steamer to render assistance. Toward sunset on April SO, when the Tenby was steaming slowly westward against heavy seas the lookout report ed that her path was obstructed by floating tlii'bers and spars for a con siderable distance ahead. Captain Campbell himself saw portions of a deck house, pieces of planking seem ingly from a vessel's hull and many minor objects, all of which seemed to have been In the water only a short time. There were steamer chairs and other fins furniture not generally car ried by freight steamers. Night closed In as the Tenby resumed her voyage. Captain Campbell said today that If the vessel was In need of assistance she was In a favarable position to re ceive It. Ker situation was directly In the track of shipping between New Tork and the Equitor. He did not connect the wreckage passed with the bark In question, but many who heard the story are Inclined to the opinion that the bark collided with and sunk another craft of which only the wreckage remains. The bark Is south of the path of Atlantic liners and If the vessel, which is supposed to have been lost Is really an ocean greyhound she must have been far out of her course when the collision oc curred. On the other hand, the wreck age is directly in thi line of the craft which ply between the northern ports and those of South America. The locality of the wreckage is given on her log book at latitude 37 north, and between longitude 53 and 53 west. The next day. May 1, the bark was seen apparently In distress. She was a lar?e four masted vessel, painted a slate color and had several signals out. Soon after she was sighted she dis appeared in the fog. The total eclipse of the sun, scheduled for the morning of May IS, Is regard ed as an astronomical event of the first Importance by the experts at the Wash ington Naval Observatory. Many week have been spent In preparing for the phenomenon. Sky charts and I'nited States maps have been careful ly studied, with the result that the chief astronomers have decided to equip two expeditions one for Flne hurst. Moor county. North Carolina, and another for Farnesvllle, Pike coun ty. Georgia. To the North Carolina station. Prof. A. N. Skinner will pilot a corps of twelve astronomers and a like body will accompany Prof. Updegraff into Georgia. There are two reasons why the Washington star gaiers have se lected these distant points for view ing the coming eclipse. First, they desire to set up their in struments In the, -ery center of the path of totality; second, a careful ex amination of the weather charts In dicated that they were much more likely to escape cloudy skies at this season of the year in Georgia and In North Carotin than In Virginia, along the coast front which the phenomenon may also be observed in the event of a clear atmosphere. Prof. Sklnnef has gone to Pinehurst to superintend the erection of one of the largest cameras ever constructed, ; Otl'er members of the corps will make lsual drawings of the various features of the eclipse with the aid of powerful telescopes. The naval ob servatory experts expect to gather new data, which, added to what is already knwn will aid materially in determln ing several disputed points regarding the sun and its surroundings. The astronomers are hopeful that nature will not be so perverse as to present a clouded sky on the morning of the Stb. THE BOERS HAVE bEEN MALIGNED fcNClLAND STM PATH 17.

Eastern Scientific Circles Making Vast Preparations to Witness the Event CHICAGO, May 7. A special to the Times-Herald from Washington, says: The Importance of thl3 new line will be seen when it is said that It will put the City of Mexico and all American cities in connection with Yucatan and Guatemala, which branch line now be ing built, villi be the first section of the great Pan-American railway to opn up Central and South America.

Its construction nu-ans the consolida tion of the federal power of the south eastern portion of Mexico and the af fording, not only of a cemmerclal route of the highest value, but the privilege of a strategical line in case of war. Before the hostilities in South Africa b-gan this line was projected to be built down Into Belize, or British Hon duras, and Colonial Secretary Cham berlain took much Interest in It. Lon don capitalists had it under advise ment and the road would probably have boen constructed under British control but for the diversion of the at tention of the British capitalists, caused by their timidity, and now Americans will probably construct the line and the orders for materials will go to the United States. treaty of peace to observe them.
