to different points in the State. A gen.
eral discussion upon this subject fol-
lowed, the sentiment being generally in
favor of such excursions.
The Chamber of Commerce of San

today, adopted a resolution expressing
opposition to any legislative measure

adopted approving the Farquhar ship
ping bill.

THE BIG TELESCOPE.
ARRIVAL OF THE HUGE OBJECT
GLASS AT BOSTON.
Now in the Hands of the Clark Brothers.
Forty Acres on Wilson's Peak to Be
Granted to Harvard College.

Boston, April 15.-The object glass for
the 4O-inch telescope to be mounted at
the University of Southern California,
arrived here today. The great glass was
taken to the establishment of Clark
Bros, who will spend nearly two years
upon it before it will be ready for use.
1t came from the establishment of Man
tois in Paris, and is the biggest piece of
work of the kind ever done anywhere.
1t is a superlatively pure and beauti-
fui circular plate glass, forty inches in
diameter or more than ten feet in cir
cumference, two and one-half inches
thick and so clear that when balanced
on it's edge it is invisible. The
curves of its double concave sur
face have not yet been calculated.
The rays of light which fall upon it pass
through absolutely unchanged, that is,
it so appears to unprofessional eyes.
Whether it is thoroughly annealed is to
be determined by the Clarks. The COM
Elementary glass, the plano-convex lens,
which will be placed about eight inches
behind the object glass, is not yet cast.
The tube of the telescope will have a
| length of about sixty feet, thus exceed
ing the Lick telescope both in length
| and diameter. The telescope will be the
largest refracting arc ever constructed,
and from it's lofty position in pure
atmosphere, will pierce farther into
space than any instrument heretofore
designed.
Mount Wilson's Crown.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-The Senate
committee on public lands today re-
ported favorably the bill to grant to
Harvard college forty-eight acres of land
on Wilson's peak, near Pasadena, Cali
fornia, for astronomical purposes.

opposition to the elevation of the present

the office of grand prelate, and the name
of George Weeks, of Los Angeles, is
prominently mentioned in this con-
nection.

AFRICAN AFFAIRS.
The Emin and Wissman Expeditions.
Portuguese Aggression, Etc.


ZANZIBAR, April 15.-Additional par
ties to the number of 26O left here to
join the caravan which Emin Pasha is
fitting out at Bagamoyo, for an expedi-
ton into the interior. Major Wissman
is equipping five other caravans, one in
tended to proceed to the country north
of Lake Tanganjika. Telegrams from

Portuguese expedition 1900 strong has
gone up the Shire river to attack
Mponda.

missionary in the Uganda country, died
from fever.

The Emin-Stanley Dispute.
BERLIN, April 15.-The National Zeit-
ung published a communication in
directly from Emin Pasha, in which he
seeks to rectify the statements recently
made concerning him by Stanley. It
says when Emin left the equatorial
province with Stanley, he was accom-
panied by few soldiers only, but this
was because the period of twenty days
given by Stanley as the time for leaving
the province was too brief to allow the
men to- be re-enlisted. Dufile remained
in the hands of the Egyptians when
Emin left. Stanley brought Emin only
twenty boxes of ammunition, when
Emin at that time had in his possession
125 boxes.

tween vicksburg and Baton Rouge.

New ORLEANS, April 15.-Reports are
received tonight that the Mississippi
river has risen fifteen points during the
last twenty-four hours at all stations
from Vicksburg to Baton Rouge. Nita
crevasse is widening and the
water in Atchafalaya is rising
steadily. Four new breaks are re-
ported in the Bayou de Clause.
Yellow bayou levee, eighteen miles
north of this city, is reported as giving
way, and the water tonight is running
over two miles of levee above Turner'S s
bayou. How We are going to escape a
seeming watery fate, is now the all
absorbing question. The Illinois Cen
trail tracks are covered with water for a
distance of twenty miles. Near Pom
tahahoula the railroad company has
an enormous force of men at
work strengthening the weak
places. Large numbers of deer, driven
out of the swamps for sixty miles from
the Nita crevasse to this section, are
running all over the vegetable farms,
and eating young vegetables and corn.

day

GOD MADE A MISTAKE.
Doom -Sealer Erickson Says His Prophecy
Will Come True Yet.

STOCKTON, Cal, April 15.-Erickson
enlarged his prophecy last night, saying
it held good till midnight. He showed
considerable excitement yesterday, but
today is quiet. He said this
morning that the prophecy will
come true, but God has not revealed to
him the date. He says God made a
mistake in the date, but that the cities
named will be destroyed in time. He
seems to enjoy the notoriety given him
by his prophecy, and talks fast and
freely on the subject. None Of his Oak
land believers have been permitted to
see him, and they walk through the
grounds, looking at the building and at
tempting to look through the keyholes.
Erickson fears the consequences as a
false prophet, and says such prophet
ought to be punished, but excuses him
self by saying God made mistake in
the date, and cites the Old Testament
story of the destruction of Ninevah.
