The Marquis of Harrington, Secretary for
War, In reply to question by Sir Stafford
Northcote, stated that il was not thought
by the Government desirable to give reasons
for the detention of the Guards at Alexan-
dria. Gladstone said that the Government
would be unable to speak definitely concern
ing the duties on wine, spirits and beer,
while negotiations with Russia still con-
tinue Mr. Gladstone said that the Inter
national Suez Canal Conference was still in
session at Paris, and still engaged on its
important deliberations respecting the
future policy to be pursued IL the manage
ment OF the canal. 1t would be impossible
for the Government to convey to the House
any clear or satisfactory idea of the work of
this conference by partial statements, and
full statements could not be made pending
the completion of the work of the confer
ence. The Admiralty telegraphed orders to
Portsmouth to prepare the man-of-war Cor
morant for sea as rapidly as possible and to

ON THE WATER
The New Orleans ReGatta-ChRmpfOn
Beach stays At Home.

At the New Orleans regatta yesterday,
the most exciting race of the day was the
professional four-oared shell, three miles
with a turn. It was won by Teemer, Pet
erson, Lee and Plaisted by scarcely boats
length, defeating Hosmer, Parker, Gaud-
aur and Mckay. The Gaudaur crew took
the water first. Both crews pulled evenly
for three-quarters of a mile, each pulling
thlrty-six strokes to the minute. There was
but little variance from their even positions
until after turning the stroke, when Gaud-
aur's crew spurted, gaining a slight lead,
which they maintained for about three
quarters of mile, when Teemer's crew
went to the front and maintained their lead
to the finish. Time, 1913.
The following oarsmen will contend for
the purse of So, 900 offered by Richard K.
Fox, to be rowed near New York between
August LIST and 18th Hanlan, Teemer,

TROUBLE IN EAST AFRICA,
Complications Between Germany and
England.

Troubles are brewing for Germany and
England respecting Zanzibar, and probably
also i'll regard to Santa Lucia bay farther
south on the eastern coast of Africa. Com
plications have been caused by the exces-
sive zeal of agents of the German East
African Company, who encroached upon
Zanzibar territory to secure available trad
ing posts. The Sultan made reprisals by
sending 800 of his troops to seize the COM
pany's chief trading posts. The capture
was peacefully effected, but the company
sent an urgent demand upon the German
Government for a force to compel the res
toration of their property, which they claim
to own under the valid treaties with various
native chiefs. The German squadron was
ordered to proceed to Zanzibar and investi-
gate the subject. The Sultan is uneasy
over this naval demonstration and has
warned England that he may be possibly
compelled at any moment to demand the
fulfllment of the treaty obligations should
cred by Great Britain when she assumed a
protectorate over Zanzibar. Germany may
be compelled to declare war against both
England and Italy, for melting the Sultan
against peaceful German subjects.

THE soUDAN PROBLEM.
Rejection by the Porte of the English
Proposals.

The French Government will not oppose
Turkish occupation of Suakin, nor of any
part of the Soudan over which the Sultan
claimed suzerainty. The Government re-
ceived an official notice from Turkey that
its terms would not be accepted. and this
was the reason for the issuance of the order
for the guards to land at Alexandria. The
proposals permitted the Turkish Govern
ment to occupy and control the Soudan,
provided that action was taken to suppress
the slave trade and develop commerce. The
Porte was to be free to assert its suzerain
rights over the whole of the SOudan, in
Guiding the province of Dongola. The
completion of the railway between Suakin
and Berber, under a concession to an Eng
lish company, was to be part of the under
standing with the Turkish Government,
although it had not been formally referred
to in the proposals.

The cups for the 18th of June races were
received by the Mariposa yesterday, and are
very handsome. The one offered by the
Jockey Club is urn shape, standing about
ten inches high, and made of silver orna-
mented with fllets and handles of gold
handsomely chased On the cover is the
figure of a horse in gold, with trophy of
saddle, bride, etc. The cup weighs five
pounds and cost $500. The Governor Dom
inis' cup is Of plain but rich design in
frosted coin silver. The Kahuku cup is also
quite plain, and bears a trophy of a jockeys
cap, whip, stirrups and spurs. All the cups
are well worth riding for, and will be held
by the winners until next years races.

HELPLESS HERAT.
EngIi.h and Russian InforI

EnGIish and Russian Information.
Colonel Patrick Stewart and the British
Engineer officers who accompanied him on
his visit to Herat report that they found the
Notifications wholly indefensible with the
present armament The only decent gun
was one 24-pounder. The place could be
made impregnable, owing to its superb,
natural position. by the erection of series
of new forts equipped with modern artillery.
They strongly recommended the immediate
construction of these works. The British
Mission, under command of Colonel Lock
hart, is about to start out to fix the north
west boundary line. The troops OF the
second corps have been notified that they
are no longer required for immediate ser
vice. This is the force which the Duke of
Connaught was recently summoned backto
command. The Khan of Budkshan, in
Afghan -Turkistan, has made a secret treaty
with Russia. The Russian military
maneuvers this year will include camps at
~ points in European Russia, and sham
fights at Wilma and Warsaw.

The concert given last Saturday night at
the College of st. Louis, for the benefit of
poor Hawaiians, was a decided success.
The leading feature of the programme was
the excellent playing of the brass band,
composed of pupils Of the college, who, un-
der the leadership of Mr.. Michals. have
attained to fair degree of efficiency. The
pieces rendered by Messrs. Michals and
Marques were very pleasing, and the rhet-
orical exercises fully up to the high average
often attained by Hawaiian scholars.

PROSPECT OF a RIOT
At the Funeral OF victor Hug

At the Funeral Of Victor Hugo.
President Grevy and the Diplomatic
Corps will attend the funeral of Hugo. An
immense quantity of floral offerings have
arrived. The compositors of the city are
having a floral crown prepared at a cost of
$500. Ireland sends a shamrock crown.
The Royalists and Catholics intend to dis
play white flags 1t is believed that the
revolutionists propose to carry at the Hugo
funeral a red flag so large that it cannot be
mistaken for a banner, the Government
having decided to allow banners but no
flags to be borne.
The Government thinks it necessary to
take special precautions against a possible
communistic outbreak. The Minister of
War has ordered several regiments from the
provinces to immediate duty in Paris In
consequence of reports received from Pre-
fects of various provinces in this republic
the Government has decided to introduce
into the Chambers a bill prohibiting the
display anywhere in Franco Of all emblems
except the national tri-color and the recog-
nized flags of foreign nations.
Stanley On Missionaries.
At breakfast given in London, by the
Baptist Missionary Society, Stanley said he
was glad to help missionaries and obtain in
return their help to teach the natives.
Formerly he i'll understood missionaries.
Since he had seen Livingstone, he recog-
nized in him the type of noble and spiritual
manhood. The real work of the missionary
was hard, his priyations were great and his
worldly reward small. In conclusion he
hoped that the Congo country would soon
be well supplied with missionaries and urg-
ed the society to be very careful about the
kind of men they sent as missionaries to
Africa "Do not" he said, "send young
men without having first taught them the
practical life necessary to success the same
as you teach your children. You wish to
live long. Dead missionaries are of no
more value than other dead men. Gordon
dead is valueless. If he had lived. tRs
