THE LOAN PLACED.


As will be seen in report copied
from the Call elsewhere, the first issue
Of the $2,ooo,ooo loan, consisting OF
one-half the amount, has been placed
on the London market. The same
adyices have been received by the
house of Messrs G. w. Macfsrlane & Co.
here, with later particulars to the effect
that there we're applications for six
hundred thousand pounds, or three
million dollars. II is also understood
that the Government has received a
letter Of credit by Saturdays steamer
for $780, 900, from which fact the re-
port went round the city like widhre,
Immediately after the ZeaIandia reached
port, that half million of the loan
was on board that steamship In adj
dition to the foregoing facts Hon. SIN.
Damon, of Messrs. Bishop & Co.'S
Bank, has received the following cable
message:--
LONDON, December II, 1886.
Hawaiian loan enormous success.
One million dollars asked; twenty-five
millions subscribed by public. Stock

HoFFNUNG.
Hon. Geo. w. Macfarlane, agent
Of the Hawaiian Government to nego-
tlate the loan, conducted; the business
by cable from San Francisco, and was
to have left for Lendon on Monday
last, 10th inst, to make all necessary
arrangements for settling up the loan.
Mr. Macfarlane used the utmost care
in negotiations 10 avoid any compica-
tions that might have been thrown into
the scales by opponents OF the recip-
rocity treaty at Washington. That
such a thing was attempted is proved
by the appearance of an article in a
Washington paper, which was evidently
intended to stir up the sentiment that
the loan with England was in violation
of the spirit Of the reciprocity treaty.
This unreasoning effort ito thwart Ha-
waii in getting needed financial assist
ance in. the abundant London market,
however, fell very fiat, creating little or
no adverse feeling in Washington and
exciting SO little interest in San Fran
cisco that only one paper--the Aha
Calto,nia--published the press tele-
gram with the burden of the article in
question. From information obtained
from direct sources it is evident that
the gentlemen entrusted with the loan
have guarded against any possible com
plications, so that the interests of the
treaty would not be jeopardis in any
way.
Although the HERALD would have
been glad to see this Kingdom make a
shift to get along withcnt borrowing
any money, yet it cannot but join in
the qualification, that is doubtless
nearly universal, that the national
credit stands SO high in the leading
money market Of the world. In this
connection, it is proper that current
misapprehension should be renewed,
namely, that the Hawaiian Govern
ment had made certain pledges which
were construed as a mortgage upon
specific sources of national revenue.
The loan act shows that there is not
the slightest foundation for this i'm
preston, and no pledge could be given
outside of the enactment Payment
of the interest only, according to the
act, shall be charge upon the con
solidated revenues Of the country.
Nothing less could have been promised

The Comet Barnard.

The San Francisco Bulletin makes the
following reference to the comet which is
now enacting the role of a tramp in the
northeast:
The comet which is visible in the early
morning in the east-northeast sky, is
known as the "Comet Barnard October
4th)," from its discoverer and the date of
discovery. 1t has increased in brilliancy
twenty-two-fold since its discovery, and
now shines as a nebulous star of the third
magnitude. 1t has a tail visible to the
naked eye for two or three degrees, and
which can be traced for four or more de-
grees in good opera-glass. 1t is about 90
south of the bright star in the constellation
of the Northern Crown and little in ad-
vance of it. The Northern Crown is readily
made out by its shape; and if a line be
drawn from the bright star therein down
ward and to the right hand, to the bright
star Alpha" Serpentis, the comet will be
found on that line, little nearer the
Crown than the Serpent.
The tail of the comet is narrow and
straight. 1t trails upward and little to
the right of the Crown, but not so high.
The best time for examining it is after
o'clock in the morning. 1t rises few
minutes before o'clock and is lost in the
morning twilight at 6.
The comet will increase slightly in
brightness for about ten days or two weeks.
1t will be at its nearest approach to the
earth on the 9TH of this month yesterday,
when it will be distant IS 800, 900 miles
from US. This morning it was 66.400,000
miles from the sun, and SS.000,C0 miles
from the earth. 1t will reach its perihelion
about noon of December 10Th, when it will
be only SO, 400 600 miles from the sun The
inclination of its orbit to the ecliptic is
