Arrival of tho Surprise"

The steam schooner Surprise, which
has been anxiously looked for during
the last few days, arrived in port at
about four o'clock yesterday afternoon.
A large crowd gathered on the Pacific
Navigation Company's wharf to see the
vessel and hear the news from the
outside world. The Surprise is On
auxiliary three-masted schooner of no
tons measurement, 1907 feet length of
keel, 80 feet beam, and s feet d inches
depth of hold. She sailed from San
Francisco at four o'clock in the after
noon of the 9th inst, making the voy.
age in fifteen days. She experienced
head winds and Gains throughout the
voyage, compelling her to steam the
whole time. She comes consigned to
Messrs. T. II. Davies & Co., bringing
a general cargo of ego tons burden,
The Surprise was built in Port Ludlow,
W. T., in the month Of October, 1885,
making her one year and eleven months
old. On leaving San Francisco she
had IS tons of coal, and on arrival
here, after steaming fifteen days, she
had six tons left, having consumed
nineteen tons of coal in that time.
Captain Roberts is in command of the
schooner and speaks well of her.

about to return to the land of his
father and revert to the worship Of the
Great Sutgardo. Like the notorious
Mana Sahib, his long residence in
England has enabled him to be
acquainted with many national weak
nesses, and in the hands of Russia he
may still prove most dangerous foe to
Great Britain.
The Paris journal des DedatS pub
fishes a sensational report about the
alleged uprising Of Northern India
against British rule and in favor Of
Russian invasion. The report says
that number of Indian princes have
followed Dhuleep Sings example in
joining Russia and in exhorting the
people to throw off the "hated English
yoke" The journal says that great
events are imminent in Central Asia.

THE SOUTH SEAS.
Germany Takes Formal Possession OF
the Marshall Islands.

Mr.. A. Frank Cooke received
by the Surprise a letter via San
Francisco from Mr.. Emerson, agent
of the Pacific Navigation Com
pany at Jaluit, Marshall Islands. The
letter is dated June a3rd and states
that the German flying squadron was
at Jaluit the latter part of May and the
first part of June. "These islands,"
the writer goes on to say, "are now
formally taken possession Of by Ger
many and q government is established.
Every establishment to pay $roo year
tax, every trader ten dollars year,
each white man five dollars poll tax.
Every vessel doing business on the
islands has to enter cargo at Jaluit,
and is obliged to clear from Jaluit. No
spirits, guns or ammunition, or other
combustibles or explosives, are allowed
10 be sold to natives in the group"

pestilence. With the entire population
of the city camping out, effective san
itary measures we're problem not
easy to solve. Defective sanitation in
that climate, even with everybody
housed, means death. Eations were
being given to the sufferers, but no
money. Contributions of 100000 for
relief had come from outside, and an
aggregate OF 100000 was expected.
The railroads we're offering free passes
to take people away, and about 500
we're issued to white and colored in
one day.
Queen Victoria sent a telegram of
sympathy to the sufferers, to which
President Cleveland sent an appropriate
reply.
Professor MCGEE has been examin-
ing evidences of the earthquake over
an area covering about IS square miles
in and around Charleston. The most
active geysers were in the neighborhood
of Ten Mile Hill, some of which
spouted from eight to hfteen feet high.
At the same locality the earth sunk in
places two to three feet, The Profes-
sor's investigations seem to prove that
the earthquake had no connection with
volcanic action. There has been a
considerable settling Of the earth in
Charleston, bringing into full view
many houses in the suburbs which
we're not before visible from the city.
A gentleman in Atlanta, Ga, has a
letter written five or six years ago by
Rev. w. H. Harrison, former chap
lain of the Legislature, in which it was
predicted that the South Atlantic coast
would be visited by severe earthquakes
in August, 1886, and that at no distant
date thereafter the city of San Francisco
would be totally destroyed. He al
legged that his predictions were made
on scientific calculations.

THE AMERICA CUP.
The Mayaower Wins the First Ra


The first race for the America Cup,
in this years contest, took place in New
York bay on Sept. 9TH, the result being
a decided victory for the Boston sloop
yacht Mayhower over the English cutter
Galatea. With steady breeze from the
southwark, permitting all to carry their
light sails, the Galatea was beaten twelve
minutes and forty seconds, actual time,
or twelve minutes and two seconds, cor
rected time, the Mayhower having given
her thirty eight seconds time allowance,
according to the New York Yacht Club
rules, under which the races are sailed.
General Paine sailed the Mayhower with
Joe Ellsworth as pilot, and Lieut.. Hem
the Galatea WITH Sam Gibson as pilot
The finish was the grandest marine
spectacle ever seen in New York bay.
Surrounded by nearly 5000 steam and
sailing craft the Mayaower came tearing
along through the morrow path of water
and crossed the finish line amid the
firing of guns, the screechlng Of whistles
and the waving Of acres of bunting and
handkerchiefs. The Galatea received
as hearty welcome when she arrived
and when the judges told Lieut. Henri
that he was beaten by twelve minute:
and two seconds, he laughed and
shouted back, 81 thought it was half an
hour" The next race was to have beer
