Decides Little Dispute Between Two
Well Known San Antonio Professors.


Well Known San Antonio Professors.
News has reached San Antonio that Mr..
John Leptrot Hatton, the celebrated composer,
died suddenly at Margate, near London, In the
nth year OF his age. Mr.. Hatton, who was
born in Liverpool, was a self-educated must
cian but his natural talents made him equal
with the best. AT the age of % years he be-
came musical director of Drury Lane theatre,
when Aus and Galatea" and his own operat-
Ia, THE Queen OF the Thames" was pro-
duced In 1874 he went to Vienna and pro-
duced his opera Pascal Bruno" and in the
same year another of his operas, Rose. or
Loves RANSOM" was produced at Covent Gar
den, London. Some time after he came %
America and proposed to stay here, but Chss.
Kean seduced him back TO England by making
him musical director OF his reyivals at the
Princess theatre, in 1884 Mr.. HattOn wrote
many popular operettas; "Cantata's Songs"
etc, Goodbye, Sweetheart, Goodbye" pop
Hlarized by BrignOli, was composed by him.
BY the by, a little controversy between Pro-
fessOrs Crossley and Alex Kuhn is settled by
the latter fact. CrOssley is right, for HattOn
was certainly the composer of Goodbye,

TO await the arrival OF two friends who
were expected from the Helotes 10 join

tors during the time they were camped
there. A COW called and ate DIR. Lind

camped near them and paid them Wis

them that he carried 5000 pounds OF dy-
Mantle on his wagon. The hunters I'm
mediately found IL convenient TO move
their camp two miles further west.
They didn't like such close acquain-
lance with dynamite. After n refresh

their friends and then hunting com
menced in real earnest. Lucien Lacoste

Mail Matters.

The Post Office dispatched by the
Royal Mail steamer Mariposa on Satur-
day 6,6O7 letters and 1,76O packages of
papers. The barkentine Ella, which
left yesterday for San Francisco, also
took 4O4 letters and SO packages of
papers. Total, 7,O11 letters and 1 ,796
packages OF papers. This is one of the
largest mails forwarded for some time
past. The Post Office, under the new
Postmaster General, Mr.. Wundenberg,
is being considerably improved. Here
tofore much confusion has occurred in
dispatching mails, but under the new
system this is done away with. There is
a separate compartment for the letters
and papers for every place in the King
dom. Where it has taken fifteen or
twenty minutes to dispatch a mail after
assorted, it now occupies three minutes.
The interior of the office is as clean as
pin, and will in future be kept so. Two
new stamping tables have been added
and other improvements made, with one
object in view-to facilitate the work of
the office

GOVERNMENT LOAN.

1t will be seen from an announcement
in our ''By Authority column, that the
Minister of Finance invites applications
for any portion of the new Government
six per cent loan, up to $500, 900. Ac-
cording to the terms of the Act approved
October 18th, 1886, a commission of five
per cent may be allowed upon sales of
Government bonds at 90 per cent
of their par value. As portion of this
loan is to redeem outstanding and undue
6 per cent bonds issued at par, this
financial operation cannot be regarded as
particularly good one for the country.
But perhaps His Excellency Mr.. Kanoa
believes that local competition for the
new bonds will be so keen as to enable
him to place half million at pre-
MUM. If SO, we shall be delighted to
find that his anticipations have been
realized

The Pacific Gable schema.

Mr.. Randolph Want, solicitor in Lon
don to the New South Wares Govern
ment, is still persevering in his Pacific
cable scheme, and has applied to the
Admiralty to complete the soundings
over the route which it is proposed to lay
the cable. According to the statements
OF Mr.. SAndford Fleming, who is con
nected with Mr.. Wants proposals, as
representing Canada, the entire cable
line will be divided into three sections,
as follows The Pacific section: from
Brisbane or Sydney to North Cape,
connecting at the former with the Aus
tralian telegraph system of New Zealand,
300 knots; North Cape to one of the
Fiji isles, ,240; Fiji to Fanning's Island,
2,270; Fanning's Island to one of the
Sandwich Islands, ,260; Sandwich
Islands to Barclay Sound or Port San
Juan, Vancouver Island, 2,730; Barclay
Sound, across Vancouver Island and the
Strait OF Georgia to Vancouver city, the
terminus Of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way, 100 knots. This gives a total of
$500 geographical miles. The second or
Canadian section will extend along the
Canadian Pacific Railway and the inter
colonial railway to connect with an At
lantic cable. If it be found necessary to
lay a new Atlantic cable the land line
will probably terminate at Gaspe, in the
province of Quebec. The distance from
Vancouver to Quebec is $3.50 statute
miles. The third or Atlantic section will
comprise a new Atlantic cable, if neces-
sary, from Gaspe via the Straits of Belle
Isle to Ireland, the distance being 2,45O
geographical miles. The rate proposed
over this new cable is four shillings a
word for ordinary messages.-[New Zea-
