Future defence instead of past offences in telegraph law
A foreign affairs committee member says the administration intends the retaliation act as future defence against aggression and not as punishment for past offences. He expects enforcement only if Canada worsens tensions, potentially shutting American ports to Canadian vessels, while broader use is unlikely this season. He notes rising Canadian imports and signals arbitration could favor the U S. INTERSTATE TELEGRAPH LAW PROPOSED.

Study of Stellar Spectra Marks Harvard Progress
The Harvard College Observatory reports notable advances in photographic stellar spectroscopy led by Professor Pickering. Dr. Henry Draper photographed stellar lines in 1872 and died in 1882. Mrs. Draper funded continued work with dry plate photography, expanding catalogs of spectra for stars of various magnitudes and bright stars. The setup uses an eight inch Voigtlaender lens, a rebuilt eleven inch Draper lens, and a strong team of computers to reduce data and publish results.
