THE CIRCLE OF POLAR STATIONS.

The Gordon of international, scien-
tifc stations around the North Polar
Basin is presumably by this time nearly
If not quite complete, says the New
York Herald, and the obserVational
work they are designed to carry out fair
~ begun. The different corps of OBJ
servers sent out to occupy these Arctic
outposts were instructed to begin OBJ
serving on August 1, inst, if possible,
and continue them, if possible, till Sep
TENDER 1, 1883. The research under
taken, In accordance with the scheme of
Lieutenant Weyprecht, embraces all the
phenomena of Arctic meteorology, ter
restria1 magnetism, auroral displays and
astronomical events, with a number of
optional Investigations. These observa-
tions will be taken hourly each day, and
the instrumental equipment of the Yari-
GUS expeditions, as well as their person
mel, insure thorough investigation of the
phenomena occurring within reach of
the different stations. The United States
and Russia have each opened two sta
tions, England and Canada together oc-
cupy one, and Germany, Austria, Hol
land, Sweden, Norway, Finland and
Denmark each occupy one-making
twelve IN all. A calculation of the
mean latitude of these polar observa
tories places them on the parallel Of sew
enty-one degrees five minutes north.
AS the circumference of this parallel is
about eight thousand miles it viii be
seen that the average distance of the
stations from each other is a little less
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1882-08-23

than seven hundred miles. This, it is
to be'regretted, is q large interval: but
actually, there is one gap Chat between
Cumberland Sound, il Davis Strait,
and Fort Rae, British America) of over
a thousand miles, and another between
Fort Rae and Point Barrow nearly as
wide. In the eastern polar area there is
a third gap extending from the Dutch
station, Dickson Harbor, at the mouth
of the Yenisei, to the Russian station on
the Lena delta, over forty-two degrees
of longitude (abOut nine hundred miles,,
and still fourth interspace, between
the Lena delta and Point Barrow, of
eighty degrees, or sixteen hundred
miles. This last immense gap is not of
so much consequence as the other three,
as it affects the investigation of polar
phenomena related to the meterology of
sparsely inhabited northeastern Asia.
But the break of the chain of observa-
tons between the German station, OF
Cumberland Sound and Fort Rae will
seriously mar the value OF the meteoro-
logical data, so far as America is con-
cerned, unless the British government
opens an intermediate station on the
west shore of Hudson Bay. Fort York
may perhaps serve for this purpose if
the observations taken there were made
uniform and synchronous with those in
stituted at the higher stations. The re-
suits of this grand concerted research of
the nations, it may be expected, will be
of great moment to science, and, as it is
an experiment limited in time, every
practicable measure should be taken to
make it complete.

One of the heaviest rains ever known, con-
tinuing three days and three nights without
intermission, stopped falling in Western Texas
on the night of the 10Th. In some places the
plains, where tradition says it never rains, have
the appearance of a sea, and the rainfall is es-
timated at six feet. The flooded section begins
near Abilene, and extends west for nearly 300
miles, including the country from the Brazos
to the Pocos Rivers. Miles of the track Of the
track of the Texas & Pacific Road have been
damaged, and in several places washouts oc-
CURED. Great drifts of dead prairie dogs are
piled in the rubbish, thousands of the animals
having been drowned. The washout was the
work of a waterspout between Abilene and
Sweetwater. A similar one is said to have oc-
CURED near Van Horne, nearly 600 miles west
of Dallas, and another is reported to have
struck and seriously damaged the Southern
Pacific track in southeastern Arizona. It is
feared there has been great loss Of life and
stock

BLAIEEs HAWAIIAN POLICY.

bLhlW Il y nav LILLIAN lOLAci'
The Chicago Times of July 3rd
prints long letter Of instructions
written by Secretary of State Blaine
to Gen. Comfy, L. ). Minister Resi-
dent at Honolulu, under date Of
December lst, 1881. We quote
several paragraphs as OF peculiar in
terest to our readers:
d" NV late Instructions, and espe-
cfally that IF the 18th ultimo, will
have shown you the deep interest
with which the United States OBJ
serves the course of events in the
Hawaiian Islands. The apparent
disposition to extend other influences
therein on lines parallel TO or off
setting our own, must he watched
with care and with considerable
tirmness.
C This Government has on pre-
vious occasions been brought face to
face with the question of protect
crate over the. Hawaiian Group. 1t
has, as often as it arose, been set
aside in the interest of such COM
mercial union and such reciprocity
benefits as would give Hawaii the
highest advantages, and at the same
time strengthen its independent cx-
istence as sovereign State. In this
I have summed up the whole disposi-
ton of the United States toward
Hawaii in its proper condition.
-" Hawaii, although much farther
from the California coast than is
Cuba from the Florida peninsula,
holds, in the western sea, much the
same position as Cuba in the Allan
tic. 1t is the key to the maritime
dominion of the Pacific States, as
Cuba is the key to the Gulf trade.
The material possession of Hawaii is
not desired by the United States any
more than was that OF Cuba, but
under no circumstances can the
United States permit any change in
the territorial control of either which
would cut them adrift from the
American system whereto they both
indispensably belong. In this aspect
of the question it is readily seen with
what concern the Government must
view any tendency toward introduce
ing into Hawaii foreign elements de-
structive Of its necessarily American
characteristics. The steady diminn-
ton of the native population Of the
islands, amounting to some 10 per
cent. between 1872 and 1878, and
still continuing, is doubtless the
cause of great harm to the Govern
ment of the Kingdom, and it is no
wonder that a solution should be
sought with eagcrness in any SEEM
ingly practicable quarter.
'Thc problem, however, is not to
be met by substitution of Mongo-
lian supremacy for native control, as
seems at first sight possible through
the rapid increase Of Chinese emigra-
ton to the islands. Neither is the
wholesale introduction Of the coolie
element, professedly Anglo-Indian,
likely to afford any satisfactory out
come to the difficulty. The Hawaii
an Islands cannot he joined to the
Asiatic system. If they drift from
their independent station it must be
towards assimilation and identiica-
tion with the American system, to
which they belong by the operation
of political necessity"

LATE FOREIGN NEWS.

PARIS, July 8.-The formal invi-
tation of the Powers to the Porte,
asking him to intervene in the case
of Egypt, will be delivered Monday.
A reply is asked for by Wednesday.
If the Porte refuses, or seems afraid
to act, &c, 900 men, with $4,000 in
reserve, will he concentrated by the
intervening Powers. An army will
land at Aboukir and be divided into
two parts. One Will march on Alex
andria and be supported by the fleet,
which will open fire as soon as the
army is landed. The other portion
will cross the dry lake of Aboukir to
Kahr Dewar, and siege the railway
at Dunahorn, which is Arab Pasha's
only means of retreat, and will thus
force him to either fight or yield.
The English Expedition to Egypt
will comprise 20 vessels with LAT
guns.
LONDON, July S.--Three hundred
and eighty-three outrages were COM
mitted in Ireland during June, of
which FIVE were murders.
Mail Superintendent Lowell, being

regard to fast mails between New
York and San Francisco; II ex-
pect to see mails carried from city

a difference this would make to
business. If tue Bank of California

use of the money three days longer
than they do now.'

For amendment, 154, 4,551; against
amendment, 1875, ,413; majority for
amendment, 20,93S.
New YORK, July "a London
cable special to the Tribune says !:
The slowness of events in Egypt dis
appoints the English public, which
cbafes under the lnaction and re-
sents the prolonged toleration of
Arab Pasha, 1t cannot make out
what the Conference is doing, and
longs to hear the guns of the fleet
speak out. But the situation has
probably distinctly improved. As
believed here, Bismarck really sup
ports England at Constantinople.
