full recognition of Abbas Has Khedive.
This Prince himself, who is eighteen by Mus

hurried from Vienna, after an interview with
the Emperor, to Trieste, and sailed thence
direct for Alexandria, where he was expected
on Friday. He will be installed to-day in
Cairo, under the visible protection Of British
troops. He left Trieste just in time to avoid,
or say he had avoided, a telegram from the
Sultan ordering him to Constantinople to
receive investiture there, an order it would
have been impossible to obey, and most diff

to seize him in %rieste, and carry him on a

The influenza spreads SO fast, and is becom-

of the Times declares that in the Office Of the

free from the scourge; while in another de-
partment where the oil was lot used, five

It is stated semi officially that the Prussian
Parliament, which commenced its Session
this week, will be asked to make important
changes in the Education Department. The
Ministry of Education is to be abolished, and
its powers transferred to the heads Of provin-
ces, acting, of coutse, under their general
responsibility to the King. Moreover. al
though each household will be allowed to select
it's own creed, instruction in some creed is to
be made peremptory in all schools, the King
Emperor believing, like his grandfather, that
the spread Of a kind Of paganism threatens
modern society, One would like to see the
details of this plan, which is another proof
of the Emperor's devouring activity Of mind,
before pronouncing a final opinion on it, In
England the proposal would rouse a storm Of
opposition but in Germany, if the conscience
clause is only strict enough, il may be accepted.
Neither Protestant nor Catholic nor Jew will
object, and the great eoeptical class is q good
deal alarmed by the spread of Socialism, and
not much afraid that schoolmaeters can
destroy the whole influence of the household.
They feel q little like the Jew. in the

American sailors have been severely punish

can Legation have been allowed to escape,
and the President himself has assured Wash
ington Of his strong desire to remain on the
friendliest terms with the Union. President
Harrison, however, is, it is said, not content.
He considers that sufficient respect has not
been shown to the United States, and threat
ems, unless further underlined concessions are
made, to send a special message to Congress
recommending the use of force. The House,
being Democratic, may not accede, and it Is
q little difficult tU understand the motive for
pushing matters to extremity. Some people
say that it is to carry the Bill saactloning

peace and others, that he desires to warn
the Spanish-American States once for all that
they must be more submissive to the great

Chinese Becoming NaturaIized in Hopes

Correspondence of the Associated Press


HoNoLULU, August 25, 1892.
There has been no change whatever in
the political aspect since last advices, the
same Ministry still holding the fort with
out any direct opposition. Business is,
it might be said, almost at a standstill,
and the prospects for the future are not
very satisfactory, especially when ac-
count is taken of the facts that the sugar
crop is now all off, and that it has fallen
short nearly one-ffth of the estimate.
Three plantations have, by their share
holders, been obliged to refrain from

their stock on the market at $50 per
share, cannot to-day get buyers at $50
per share.

been the consideration of bills of only

MONTEREY, Sept. 2.-ConsideIable ex-
element was caused here this morning
by the capture by Constable J. a. Wolter
and l.. Michaelis of nineteen Cinnamon
who are supposed to be contraband.
They were landed at Pescadero, Chinese
fishing station two miles south of this
place, at / o'clock this morning, by the
schooner Halcyon, which was last seen at
Victoria, b. c., three months ago. The
fact that the Chinese living at Pescadero
have been burning fires on the beach at
the latter place for several nights past
caused the officers of this place to suspect
that the fires were intended as a land
mark for some vessel which intended to
land opium or Chinese. In accordance
with their suspicious the officers kept
vigilant outlook, and early this morning
succeeded in landing nineteen Cinnamon
in the City Jail. The authorities at San
Francisco have been notified and are ex-
pected here to-day. 1t was learned that
the Halcyon has unstamped opium
aboard amounting to about $500, 900. The
commander Of the vessel having learned
of the capture of the Chinese Immediately

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 2.-There is a sur

family, brothers and sisters, living in
this county that claims to be the entire
fifth generation in descent from Don
Miguel Peralto, Spanish Knight of the
Golden Fleece and Baron Of Colorado in
the time Of Emperor Ferdinand of Spain.
They, therefore lay claim to the 4. $50 900
acres of the Peralto Tract in the Salt
River Valley, Ariz., for which but one
heir has heretofore appeared, and who is
now the wife OF John \. Reavis, a former

stored to the DOn's heirs the United States
Government will have 10 pay them 81 25

OCCUPATION OF MARS.
FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO

Professor Holden Tells How and
When It May Best

Special to the REcoRD-Urrov.

'oDScldl 10 Ll0 IhCORD-ONION.
LICK OBSERVATORY, Sept. 2.-Tbe fol-
lowing information regarding the occul-
tation of the planet Mars by the moon on
Saturday night. September Sd, about 9
o'clock, may be of interest to observers
in this vicinity.
Professor Campbell has calculated that
the Pacific standard time of the planets
disappearance anu temperance is ac-
cording to the elements of America
ephemeris. These elements are not en-
tirely precise, and one of the results of
the observation viii be to correct them.
AT the Lick Observatory the planets
center Will pass behind the dark edge of
the moon at IL minutes 13 seconds past
. O'Clock, and will be uncovered again at
~ minutes ~ seconds past 10 O'clock.
The moons edge Will pass over the whole
planet, which is 23 seconds in diameter.
IN about one minute. At points in San
francisco observers will see the disap-
pearance at about 9:l5 at the moons dark
edge, and its temperance at about 1O:3l.
The planet will disappear at a point on
the moons edge about II degI ees from
the moons north point, measured to-
wards the east. 1t will reappear at a
point on the edge about SO degrees from
the moons north point measured toward
| the moons west. The point that it will
reappear Is very near the moons west
point.
The phenomenon may be observed with
the naked eye, or better with opera
glasses. The observer should determine
where the moons north, east and west
points are, and the above data will enable
him to locate the point of reappearance.
The observers with telescopes will re-
member that images are usually inverted.
TO obtain any results useful to toastronomy
observers must note the exact times
when the moon touches the edge of the
planet at the beginning and ending of the
occultation, and they must know the cor
rection of their watches.
This occultation will be observed pretty
generally in the United States, and the
results will be chiefly valuable in reIa-
ton to data of mathematical astronomy.
The observation will throw little or no
light on the constitution of Mars itself
As mere spectacle it will be interesting,
and the contrast of color between Mars
and the moon will be interesting.
