Act Constitutional.
SAN Francisco, August 26:h.-The Su-
preme Court has decided in an order handed
down this morning that Controller Dunn
must issue his warrant for the appropria-
ton made by the last Legislature for the
erection of the California Home for the
Care of Predetermined Children.
The case does not present the question,
says the Court, of the right OF the Court to
go behind the enrolled bill in order 10 find
f'on the journals of the Legislature wheth.
er the bill was properly passed or not; but
it raises the point whether an act not shown
by the journals to have taken place must
be presumed not TO have been done. The
Court says this position cannot be upheld.
The two other points raised by counsel for
respondent-that legislative functions we're
delegated to a commission, and that the
Act Confined mere than on sppro priation
are pronounced groundless.

THE committee of the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce on a cable line tel
egrapn to Australia has reported. 1t finds
the total cost of such line as is desired to
be $l0,000,000. This is not in excess of
what was anticipated. Since the revenue
for the first ten years would not more than
pay the operating expenses and meet the
wear and tear, the committee advise that
the Congress of the United States subsi-
die the company to be formed to the ex-
tent of guaranteeing the interest on its
bonds for 100000 at 8 per cent, or
100000 per annum for twenty years, the
total subsidy thus being S6,00O,000. The
proposition is to make the route take in
the Hawaiian and Samoan group of is
lands. The scheme is not, therefore, that
is to the Government, one of great cost or
risk. Such cable would seem to be abso-
lutely necessary in view of the magnitude
of the business existing and to be devel-
oped between Australasia and the Pacific
coast to say nothing of the naval and
military necessities of the United States.

that the hal holds In Moslem estimation,
and the fact that trade invariably follows
the pilgrim routes, are well known, ana
in lighting Tor the one the Senussls prob
ably have in Wow the other also. AT any
rate, the readiness shown by the people OF
Dariur and Kordofan TO flock to
the Senussi standard may DO set
down TO the intolerable state OF
things brought about by the
Mahdists, who will neither engage
In trade themselves nor permit others to
do so. The Mahdists are finding their
fellow-Mohammedans less long suffering
than the English. That this war against
the deryishes has taken the form OF re-
ligious movement Is easily explicable;
Ilostililies other than Of an intertribal
character rarely occur in Islam, where
Moslem has to fight against Mosem, ex-
cept under some sort OF religious sanction.
Thus the Wahabi movement was pursued
vi ct armis under the sanction OF the re-
ligious reformer Wahab, and the Mahdlst
movement under that Of Mohammed
Ahmed, the self-styled Mahdi 1t has
been suggested that, II the Senussis under
Abu Ghamza be completely victorious, the
danger to Egypt may prove equally great,
and may call for the serious consideration
OF this country. But the state OF things
in the eastern Sudan can hardly be made
worse than IL has been for the last five
years under the domination OF the NAH
dists. Besides, we can greatly facilitate
the pilgrimage and promote trade; and in
the present exhausted condition OF the
sudan that ought to count for something.
This we know, that any attempt TO con-
duct peace negotiations with the Mahdists
would be utterly futile, and any change
in the situation at Khartum can scarcely
be for the worse.
Even II we discredit the reported fall Of
Khartum, the Investment OF the town by
the Sudan tribes marching under the VIC
torious banner OF El-Sepussis lieutenant
must be imminent. the Senussi invaders
arc probably well supplied with arms and
ammunition; for, ms we pointed out some
months ago, an enormous trade IN them
has been going on between Tripoli and the
interior for some considerable time. The
arms aud ammunition could not have
reached the hands OF the Mahdists. They
would all be absorbed by the Senussis and
their adherents. The pilgrims from lar
Sokoto, which is under the influence OF
the Royal Niger Company, make their
way to Mecca by n route running east and
west through series Of well-populated
States in the Central Sudan, and then
through Darfur and the Eastern Sudan 10
Suakim or some other port on the Red
Sea. This gives us glimpse OF the posi-
bilities In the way OF trade with portion
OF Africa still outside the sphere OF Euro
pean influence, il only the Mahdists and
their ianatical non possumus in regard "a
friendly and commercial intercourse were
once got rid Of AS We have said, the
Senussi movement cannot possibly be
worse for us and the Sudanesc than the
Mahdists have boon. We can only hope
that the upshot OF present events around
Khartum may bring about a better state o.
things than has prevailed there since

From an Egyptian Note Book.
Every Moslcm believes deyoutly In q
personal God, in an oycrruling Proyi.
dcnce, In tho mission and miracles Of
Christ, whom they designate as tho Mes.
siah; in the duty Of prayer, in tho immor-
tality Of the soul, In a future state Of re-
wards and punishmcnts, aud In u.e In.
spiralion Of the Bible. An educated Mos.
lem, Il asked why he does not become
Christian, may not improperly re-.
ply that, according 10 his own inter.
probation OF the New Testament, ho is
one already. Thus, in a letter lately 70.
cciycd from one OF my friends, he styles
himself "a Moslem aud q Christian at the
same time"
Though most pious and sincere Mo.
hammcdan, be claims 10 be one Of those
who profess and call themselves Christ
ians, for whom we pray every Sunday
that they may be led into tile way Of
truth. They hold that Islam was the
latest revelation, pcrlecting the Christian
revelation, just ~ Christianity supple.
mcnied the revelation given 10 the jews
Mohammed may be considered ~ a re-.
former Of Christianity; like Luther, he de.
nounccd certain suponiilions that had
grown up, such as monasiic colibacy, the
worship OF images, Of tho crucihx, and Of
the Virgin Mary.
The Koran says that God gave the goa.
pei 10 Jesus 10 proclaim, and that he put
kindness and compassion into the hearts
that followed him; but 'as for the iaonas
tic life, they invented II themselves"
"1n the time Of Mohammed," says one Of
my friends. christianity had become cor.
rupt, rs many OF your own writers admit,
aud II was these corruptiOns that u was

jet the conuptions Of Christianity. But
We claim to.haye final revelation, pre-
dicied by your own prophets, just as the
coming OF the Messiah was forciold 10 the
jews, who, nevertheless, blindly rejected
him as you reject Mohammcd."

returned in triumph to his ship. Soon
the Captain OF the British vessel came in
great rage. He rushed along the deck
and met the Lieutenant with ferocity
intended TO brighten him into apollo

the Englishman. "You can do So" coolly

faced by such unruffled frmness by n
beardless boy was insuiferable. He fairly

CALIFORNIA had severe shock Of earth
quake few days since, one OF the severest
shocks felt there for many years. Cali
iornians have become accustomed TO these
seismic disturbances and do not mind
them. They know they live In n land OF
earthquakes. Many causes are given for
these periodical disturbances. That the
earth is cooling off inside and the shrink
ing Of the crust causes wrinkles on the
surface; that forests act as distributors Of
supernuous electricity and the destruction
Of timber in California resulted in over
charging the earth, and consequent shocks
or throcs; but the latest cause was sug-
gcstcd by Californian, that the interior
Of lao earth is full OF gas and an earth
quake is asympiom oitcrrestral ilatulency,
sort OF planetary collie.
