An Error Has Been Hade and tba Leo nids Will Be Here Meat Tear. Washington, Nov. 20. "The shower of Leonids will not occur this season. The brilliant spectacle has been an nounced one year too soon." This an nouncement has just been made by Dr. L. J. See, one of the most advanced as tronomers in the government service. "Astronomical calculations have not ened as to the periodicity of the Leonids," said Dr. Sea, "but the gen erally accepted conclusion as to the time it takes the Leomds to pass the earth's orbit has been wrong. Aftor the most careful observations made with the best instruments in the ser vice of the government, and aftor the moct unerring calculations in strict conformity to astronomical laws, I am thoroughly convinced that the period of passage is two years, instead of one, as heretofore believed. "The Leonids have been within the earth's orbit for a year now, and will remain with us for another 12 months. The meteoric shower has not been as heavy this time as there was good sicentiflo reason for believing it would be. That is because we have not ye struck the thick part of the trail. By my calculations, this collision will oc cur in the middle of November, 1000. Then the resultant display of burning meteors will be as brilliant as the one observed by Humboldt in Venezuela in 1799. "The present visitation is a counter part of that in 1863. At that time there were displays in two years, that of 18G2 being aliout as foeble as the present has been,, and that of the suc ceeding year being nearly as striking as that recorded by Humboldt." ADULTERATION OF FOOD. More Evidence fa Collected by Senator Maaon. New York, Nov. 20. The Unitod States senate committee, represented by Senutor Mason, of Illinois, today re sumed its investigation into the adul teration of food prepared for market. Dr. Edward H. Jenkins, an agricul tural chemist, and vice-director of the Connecticut agricultural experiment station, declared that the general adu! teration of food products had increase! . with business competition and the de mand for cheap wares. In 'his five years' experience, Dr. Jenkins said he had found only one adulterant that was poisonous, and that was a coloring matter in a temperance drink. Coco shells, prune stones and like, he testi fied, sold as spices. None of these adulterants, except the one color, was huitful to healtlL.,int all . were frauds on the consumer. Mors than half tho jollies examined were made of glucose and starch paste, colored with artific ial coloring, flavored with artificial flavoring, and . preserved with salycilio acid. The .. cheaper grades of coffee were found to contain a large propor tion of Canada peas, pea pellets, wheat middlings and chicory. Election Consplratora Arrested. Philadelphia, Nov. 20. Samuel Sal ton, deputy coroner of this city; Joseph G. Rodgers, lieutenant of the capital police, Washington, and Clarence Mes ser, employed in the copying division of the congressional library, have bceD held in $1,800 bail for trial on the charge of conspiring to make fraudu lent election returns in this city. Tho arrest of the three men was the out come of testimony adduced at the hear ing last week of several residents of Washington, who had been arrested here on a similar charge. On that occasion, it was testified that a party of alleged repeaters, num bering about 14, had been brought to this city from Washington by Lieuten ant Rodgers. Two of ; these, George Kirkland and W. II. Cook, imperson ated election officers in the thirteenth division of the second ward and assisted in the alleged falsifying of the returns and the stuffing of the ballots, while the others, it was testified, were em ployed as repeaters. Kirkland testified against his com panions, saying that he came here at the instigation of a newspaper to par ticipate in and expose the fraud. Huntington In Full Control. San Francisco, Nov. 20. The Exam iner says: Collis P. Huntington is to day in full control of three-fourths of the property of the Southern Pacific Company and its allied corporation, the Pacific Improvement Company. With the help of banking syndicate headed by the Spoyers, of New York and London, he has bought 5ut the Croker and Stanford interests, each amounting to about one-fourth of the stock. With his own fourth, that gives him three-fourths of the whole. The remaining one-fourth interest be longs to the Hopkins-Searles estate. The Speyers hold in their possession the Croker and Stanford securities for the present, Huntington haying an iron clad option for their final transfer to him. . , ' Alaska Steamer Tardy. San Francisco, Nov. 20'. The schooner Rattler is now 88 days out from Kodiak, Alaska, and it ia feared that she has gone down in one of the many storms that have recentiy swept the coast.

Four days later the schooner Herman sailed from the same port and arrived here nearly three weeks ago, after a very rough passage. Prevented a Panic. New York, Nov. 20 Russell Sage is quoted today as saying to a news paper interviewer who asked him whaf he thought of the United States treas ury's offer to buy $25,000,000 of bonds: "I believe Secretary Gage's action has saved the financial world from a disastrous panic. " No one who has been in touch with business enterprises during the past few months can fail to have realized the stringency of the money market. OVER TWO BILLION Foreign Commerce of 1899 Breaks All Records. A REDUCTION IN BUF.ADSTUFFS But Thla Loaa Ia More Thnn Offset by Our Aetonlxiilng Sales of Merchandise. Washington, Nov. 21. Tho. foreign commerce of the United States seems likely to make its highest record of the century iu tha oloalng year of that pe riod. The October exports are larger than those of any piecoding October, the total for the 10 months ending with October is greater than the total for the corresponding period in any preceding year, and it is apparent that for the first time in our history the foreign commerce of the year will exceed $2, 000,000,000. For the 10 months end ing with October, 1899, the figures of the treasury bureau of statistics show the total exports to be $1,029,242,000, while in the corresjiondiiig mouths of last year they were $987,879,000. This remarkable increase in exporta tion is the more sui prising because of thi absence of the excessive demand abroad for our breadstuffs, which char acterized the year 1898. In that year the short crops abroad and plentiful supplies of breadstuffs of all kinds in the United States resulted in an abnor mally large exportation of breadstuffs, so that the exportation of agricultural products in the present year naturally fulls about $35,000,000 below that of the corresponding period of last year. Yet the total exportatinns for the 10 months are, as already indicated, more than $40,000,000 in excess of those of last year. It is easy, however,' to find the cause of this remarkable growth in our total exportations, which occirs in the face of the reduction of our exportation of breadstuffs. An examination of the detailed figures of the nine months of the year already accessible shows that the exports of manufactures in that period were $50,000,000 in excess' Of those of tho corresponding, months of the preceding year, and $65,000,000 greater than those of the same months of 1897, while the products of the mine were $4,000,000 greater than those of the corresponding months of last year, and those of the forest $6, 000.000 in excess of the corresponding months of the preceding year. Thus the year's exportation of agricultural pro ductions will be quite up to the nor--mal, while those of manufacture, min ing and forestry will exceed thoso of last year, and indeed, of any year in our history. Imports have increased moro .thnn exports, for they were unusually low in 1898. while exports were unusually high in that year. The total importa tion in the 10 months ending with 'Oc tober, 1899, is $058,875,000, against $527,734,000 in the corresponding, months of last year. HEAVY FIGHT IS NEAR. Large Force of Boers Reported to Bo Moving South. London, Nov. 21. This morning's news gives little that alters the com plexion of the situation. Since the fight of November 9 matters, so . far as known, have been fairly quiet at Lady smith. It is not unlikely that the Boers, badly informed as to the nature and extent of British preparations , to advance to the relief of the .town, may be hesitating regarding the next move ment. The situation in Natal is very complicated, more especially if the re ports be true that the gTeat Tugela bridge has been destroyed. The suc cess of the next move on either side will depend more on strategy than on. superior numbers. The Boors have three lines of action open. They can hold the railway with the force they have at Enlieradale, fall ing slightly back before the British ad vance and threatening it Worn Weenen; or, in tho second place, they can ad vance from Weenen and try to carry F.Btcourt; or, in the third place, they can advance due south from , Weenen to Weston, cut the railway and blow up the bridge over tho Mooi river. If it be true that there are 10,000 Boere, under Joubert and ' Genttral Botha, marching south to meet the British re-, lief forces, heavy fighting is in store. ' Chief Englneer'a Approval. Washington, Nov. 21. The report of the engineers in favor of an improve ment at the month of the Columbia river to secure 40 feet of water over the bar, will be sent to congress with the approval of the chief of engineers! The opinion of the engineers is that the pro posed improvement is one of the mott important to be presented to .congress. It is expected that favorable 'Action by congress looking to the 40-foot channel will be followed immediately with another proposition for a channel of 80 feet from the mouth of the Columbia to Portland. Those who are. familiar with the commerce of the river . and conditions now existing say both these improvements should be made with the least possible delay. The Burlington, will build from Al liance, Neb,, to Ogden. . : - Beady to Occupy Dagupan. Manila, N, 21.

London, Nov. 22. The reports oi heavy fighting at Ladysmith last Wed. uesday have not been confirmed. On the contrary, the most reliable advicca from Estcourt indicate that there wa nothing more than a desultory cannon. ade. Probably the rumor of a serioug engagement 'grew out of the fact that the Boers threw a few harmless shell late Tuesday night, leading to the sup. position that an attack was imminent. Nothing, however, hapjiened Wedue. flay. Beyond tho fact that the Boon are daily receiving fresh reinforcement and supplies, there is practically nothing now from the front. , The Boer invasion of Capo Clony cob. tinues steadily and rapidly. There are 1,300 Boers at Colesburg, and news has reached East London that Ladygray, near Aliwul North, has been deserted by tho British and now is in the hands of the enemy. From Delagoa bay come reports of the arrival of more German officers and artillerymen, who have volunteered to serve with the Transvaal forces. The war office semiofficially asserts that all news received from Africa has lecn published, with the exception of demands for tho renewal of stores, war material and the like. "' There is an unconfirmed rumor that more troops have been ordered from In dia to the Capo. SMUGGLED PEARLS.' Found In the Old Shoes of a Providence Man. New York, Nov. 22. Ten thousand smugglod pearls, of all sizes, some imi tation and some genuine gems, were taken to the custom-house today and spread out in Collector Bidwell's ofllcfi. Tomorrow they will bo taken to the ap praiser's stores, where the . government experts Mill pass ripon their value. The pearls were seized by Special Treasury Agent Theobald, from Francis Bock, a dealer in jewels and gems, of .Provi dence,. R. I. Bock arrived on the French liner Bretague, but preceding him had come a cable message to the customs officials telling that the Provi dence man had jiearls of great price in his possession. To the inspector Bock declared he had "nothing dutiable.; He declared he 'was going ' to Mexico at once, and said nothing about. his busi ness in Providence. So special Agent Theobald and the inspectors made a rapid examination into his baggage, and in his pockets. In Bock's trunks were three pairs of worn shoes, tied together heels and toe, and wrapped compactly in newspapers. Inside each pair of shoes . were many packages of half pearls. There were two quarts of gems altogether. A rough estimate of the value of the en tire seizure is $50,000. Bock was taken before United States Commissioner Shields and held in $5,000 bail. Not being able to secure . bail, ho was sent to jail. LABOR CONDITIONS. Gompera Testified Before the Industrial Commission. "Washington, Nov. 22. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, was the only wit ness before the industrial commission today. Speaking of the union label, Mr. Gompers said there are-8 7 different organizations now using . the label,' and that it is growing in popularity very rapidly. He defended the boycott as a legal and proper weapon for working men. In ; reply to . a question, Mr. Gompers said that organized labor views trusts simply as their employers. There had been oases in which the or ganizations had been benefited by com binations. of capital. It is too early to decide whether men would be more steadily employed by the trusts than by other employers. He said that these combinations have more, influence in securing legislation than lias unor ganized capital. Ho took a position against co-operative schemes, saying that experience has proved that la borers have secured 110 greater advan tages under them than under the wage 'system, He has no fear of the future for organized labor. . The condition of labor today is better . than .ever before, and he attributes the improvement to the influence of organized labor. Mr. Gompers favors an amendment to the constitution fixing a maximum of hours per day for labor. Speaking of the effect of advanced labor, legislation In d.ifterer)t uteres he said there would be no backward step. Big Gnus Placed In Position. Astoria, Nov. 22. The two big guns that recently arrived at Fort Stevens have been placed in position. As these guns Weigh 800 tons each, it required great care to move them. TThe common council of Hammond will petition the government to have the name of the postollice of that place changed to New Astoria. Child Devoured by a Wild Kraut. - Spokane, Wash., Nov. 22. The bones of Ruth Inman, the 8-year-old child lost in the Big Bend country four weeks ago, were found yesterday a few miles from Creston, where she disap peared. The indications are that a wild animal had carried off and de voured the little one. ;. ' . General Funston denies that the American soldiers robbed the churches in the Philippines.

OUR TROOPS IN NEW TERRITORY Advance of the Several Columns-Zain. boaugo, In Mindanao Island, Occu pied by Castine'a Sailors. Manila, Nov. 22. Only fragmentary reports reach Manila of operations in the north which, when tho story ia known, will prove to have been the most remarkable campaign the Philip pine war has kuown. Lawton's division is spread thinly over the territory beyond San 'Jose, where the telegraph ends. Young's two regiments of cavalry, re continuing their rapid sweep in to the new country and the infantry is be ing shoved forward to hold the towns the cavalry take, all in a country whose natural difficulties are increased indescribably by tho tropical rains,. making rivers of the creeks and swamps of the fields. Wagon transpor tation is supposed to hare Ixen prac tically abandoned, the American troops living on captured supplies and the little produce the insurgent levies have left.
