A Prospective King.


The Carlists have a complete organiza-

the field on short notice. Their prepare
tons in many provinces are really formid-
able. The widowed Queen is confident
that a posthumous heir to the throne will
be born in March. The ceremony of pro-

next spring. Senior CASTELAR, opposes all

Latest returns OF the British elections
show the election of 261 Liberals, 21O To-

polling so strongly for the Liberals that
they promise a Liberal majority over the
Tories aud Parnellites combined, the Con-
servatives requiring to win 122 seats out of
the IA still unpolled, of which it is calcu-
lated that 80 will fall to the Parnellites.
The Government cannot possibly maintain

King Theebaw, becoming alarmed at the
rapid approach of the British forces, sent a
messenger to General Prendergast begging
him to grant an armistice for the purpose
of peacefully settling the difficulty between
Burmah and the Indian Government. Gen

could he entertain any request looking to
the settlement of the dispute. Theebaw
acceded to the terms and the Ava forts,

to the British troops. A garrison was
placed there and British troops proceeded
to Mandalay on the 28th of November.

The storm which set in at San Francisco
on the morning of oath November, contin-

and was such as no one remembers to have
seen in the State in the month of Novem-
Der. and such as there is no parallel for
since any record of the rainfall has been
kent. The rain was driven by a strong
south to southeast wind, and its rattle on
the roofs and windows was sufficiently
loud to rouse many a sleeper in the city IN
the early morning hours. Advices from all
parts of the State indicate that the heaVl-

twenty-four hours and 065 inches for the

same period last year.

in order TO conceal her emotion. As the
procession passed through the streets the
populace wept. Occasionally a cheer was
given for Christina. On arriving at the
palace the casket was carried by the
grandees from the car to the hall of the
palace, where the body will lie in state I'M

of the new Ministry are fusionists, with the

Death of Peter DOnahue, the Railroad
Millionaire.

Peter Donahue the well-lxnown pioneer
and railroad millionaire, died at his resi-
dence at the north east corner Of Bryant
and Second streets, S. F., at 1856 O'Clock,
on Nov. g. His death was painless and
he passed from the state of unconscious
ness, in which he had been lying for the
preceding twelve hours, into his everlasting
sleep, without pain, and with scarcely
tremor to indicate his dissolution. For
some time he had been in feeble health,
and even year and half ago, when he
resigned the presidency of the Gas Com
pany, which he held for many years, he
said that he did not feel strong enough to
longer perform the onerous duties of the
office. Since that time Mr.. Donahue,
while still generally supervising the affairs
of his railroad, gas, banking and other
large interests, had given himself more
leisure for rest and travel.

PULPIT AND POLITICS.
Sights and Scenes IA tho Electoral
Campaign OF Great Britain

The clergymen of the Established Church
throughout Great Britain devoted their ser
mons to vigorous pulpit propagandism
against the Liberals. The unanimity with
which this was done all over the Kingdom
| made it reasonably clear that the bishops
had given the cue to county Wears and rect
ors, and it is more than likely that the
bishops were stimulated to this action by
the Tory party managers, who have shown
wonderful alertness in seizing every chance
of advantage all through the present cam
paign.
The results of the latest elections have
somewhat revived the sinking hopes of the
Liberals. 1t is true that in those elections
the Liberals barely hold their own. but
they are in a chastened mood and are
thankful for small mercies.

WHAT SALISBURY SAYS.

Lord Salisbury has sent a remonstrance
to Austria against the latter's preparation
for the occupation of Servia. He advises
that the Powers cooperate for the consid-
Grafton of the Bulgarian demand for an
indemnity and for the prevention of further
hostilities. The Servo-Bulga armistice
will continue for ten days. The Austrian
Minister to Servia has warned Prince Alex
ander of Bulgaria that if the war be resum-
ed on a disagreement on the question of
indemnity, Austrian troops will enter Ser
via. The Austrian General ALBION has gone
to Nissa, and will assume command of the
Servians if hostilities reopen. Russian
journals, both official and unofficial are
allowed to make hostile comments on the
conduct of Austria.

The German Budget.
A debate arose on the first reading of the
budget in the Reichstag. Herr Burchard,
Secretary of the Imperial Treasury, insisted
upon the necessity of increasing the mill
tary outlay and upon the necessity of re-
vising ia e taxation of sugar and increasing
the duti es of spirits in order to to place the
finances of the Empire upon sounder
footing Herr Richter opposed increasing
the appropriation for the army, and sharply
criticised the Governments colonial policy.
Herr Liebkneicht severely attacked the
home and foreign policy of the Government
and said he hoped the budget would be re-
jected.
