PROFESSOR CHICKERING'S OPINION.
Discredits the Report That the Arequipa
Station Has Been Wrecked.

Discredits the Report That the Arequipa
Station Has Been Wrecked.
Boston, Oct. 25.-Professor Picker
ing of the Harvard observatory was
asked to give his opinion on the report
that the Harvard observation station at
Arequipa had been sacked. He said he
could not verify the report. Observers
in Cambridge seldom have any tele-
graphic communication with the sta
ton owing to the fact that it costs some
So for each word.
81 have hopes, however," he said in
continuing, ''that the report as published
is distorted by being handed about
from one country to another. I think
that the station that has been sacked is
that on Ell Misti, and not that
at Arequipa. This station is ex-
tremely important, for it is the
highest meteorological station in the
world, and observations made from
there have already been very valuable.
The loss of what instruments there are
there will not amount to anything SO
far as actual money goes, for the in
struments would only cost few hun.
dred dollars in America. But it would,
nevertheless, be great loss, because it
is with the greatest difficulty that any
thing can be carried there. The
atmosphere is SO rare on the summit
that no one can pretend to live there.
So three times month somebody goes
there from Arequipa and takes record
of all the work the automatic instru-
ments have been doing in the previous
10 days. From these facts you can
readily understand that the sacking Of
the station would be serious event.

THE HAwAIIN CABLE.

Government Omcials Think the English
Proposition Not Quite Reasonable.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25.-News has
been received Of Great Britain's attempt
to lay cable to Hawaii. The British
commissioners now in Honolulu, San
ford Fleming of Canada and J. Mercker
from the colonial Office, have submitted
their propositions to the government Of
the republic Of Hawaii, asking for a
lease of Necker island and q subsidy Of
$50, 900 per year for fifteen years.
In return for these grants they prom
Use cable and to make the charge for
messages one shilling word, with q
reduction for messages sent by the gov
eminent and for press dispatches.
The commissioners ask also a condi-
ton from the government that Necker
island shall be coded to Great Britain,
in the event of annexation of Hawaii
to the United States.
Considers the Price Too High.
The government Of Hawaii is anxious
for cable connection, but is not satisfied
with the conditions offered by the COM
missioners. The proposition for condi-
tional cession of Necker island to Great
Britain will not be considered. This
consideration must be omitted alto
gether. British commissioners expect
success from their commission. The
subsidy asked is also deemed too large.
The Hawaiian government would not
consider the proposition at all if any
prospect for cable to the United States
were in sight. As the government Of
this country seems to be taking no &C.
ton, the offers of the British commits
sioner if amended to suit the Hawaiian
government, may be accepted.

GERMANY PEACEAAKER
Said She Will Take the Initiative in
Settling the China-Japan
Controversy.
JAPAN WOULD ACCEPT FIRST
Because She Has Everything to Gain
at the Present Time--.AnOther
Big Fight.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The peace
negotiations between China and Japan
are likely to take an unexpected turn,
according to diplomates here. who are
informed Of the progress of affairs.
The critical illness of the car has for
the time being diverted Russia from
the attention she was going to give to
the eastern war, and has made it i'm
probable that the czar should take the
initiative toward bringing the contest
ants together. The Intervention of
England or France has been viewed
with distrust owing to the territorial
interests those countries have in Asia,
Under these circumstances diplomatic
officials here say that Germany will
undoubtedly take the initiative in any
peace settlement.
Japan Would Accept.
Whether such steps have already been
taken is not known here, but the Off
Gals best acquainted with the facts say
there is little doubt of the part Ger
many viii take, and the intimation is
made that the negotiations will not be
deferred.
The same authorities say that when
the peace proposition is submitted,
Japan would be the more ready of the
two belligerent powers to accept it,
Notwithstanding the reports that China
was the more anxious for peace. The
explanation given for this is that any
peace settlement at the present time
would be to the marked advantage of
Japan, owing to her recent victories,
and to a corresponding disadvantage to
China. The Japanese have everything
to gain by settlement on the basis of
the war up to date, while the Chinese
have everything to gain by waiting
until they Offset these losses.

Relieving the Gar.

LONDON, Oct. 25.-A medical CORE
spondent telegraphs from Livadia say
ing that the car has been much re-.
lieved by the puncture of his legs,
which is reducing the @dema. The
correspondent adds that preparations
are making for the operation of thorac-
entesis, in order to relieve the effusion
into the thoracic cavity, which will
doubtless relieve the distressed breath
ing Of the patient and restore the ac-
ton Of his heart. Oxygen mutations, it
is. stated, have already strengthened
the action Of the heart, and the car
has enjoyed many hours of full con-
seriousness. But, says this correspondent
in conclusion, there is little or no inn
provement in his malady.

BEDE'S RESIGNATION.
The Letter Of Attorney General Ac-

Public.
1T is SOMEWHAT SARCASTIC.
Ex-Speaker Reed Addresses an I'm
mense Audience at the Minneap-
oils Exposition.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The follow
ing is the letter of Attorney General
Olney accepting the resignation Of ].
Adam Bede as marshal of the district
Minnesota and who resigned his Office
because he could not agree with the
president regarding the rights Of office
holders to engage in political canvass.
81 have yours of the 18th inst, in
which you tender your resignation of
the Office of United States marshal on
the ground that you cannot consistently
or conscientiously govern yourself by
an order of President Cleveland of 1885,
which forbids federal Office holders
from engaging in political campaign
work. ~ "a a5so sd g-...-
Began With speechmaking.
ST have just been obliged to call for
the resignation of United States mar
shall, who, beginning a political cam
paign with speechmaking, ended by
shooting and is now under indictment
for murder. From the tone and temper
of your letter, it would not be surpris.
ing to find you in the like predicament
should you undertake to be political
worker and United States marshal at
the same time. Undue excitement and
recklessness are always most inevitable
when to ordinary political partisan
ship is added the personal interest
inseparable from office-holding. Your
resignation as marshal is accepted, to
take effect upon the appointment and
qualification of your successor.
A Portion of Cleveland's Order.
Mr.. Cleveland in his executive order
issued July IA, 1886, says in part: II
deem this proper time to especially
warn all subordinates in the several de.
partments and all officeholders under
the general government against the use
of their official positions in attempts to
control L'slitical movements in their
localities. -g5a
"Officeholders are the agents of the
people-nOt their masters. Not only lie
their time and labor due to the govern
ment, but they should scrupulously
avoid in their political action as well as
in the discharge of their official duty,
offending by a display of obtrpsive par.
tisanship their neighbors who have re-
lations with them as public officials.
"They should also constantly remem.
Der that their party friends from whom
they have received preferment, have
not invested them with the power of
arbitrarily managing their political af-
fairs. sff'~.'3 80.
Individual interest and activity in
political affairs are by no means con-
demned. Officeholders are neither dis
franchised nor forbidden the exercise of
r.olitical privileges; but their privileges
are not enlarged nor is their duty to
party increased to pernicious ac css:yity
by officeholding.

AMERICAN MISSIONS.
FOrty-eighth Annual Convention Of

at Lowell.
OUTLINE OF THE WORK.
Great Good Has Been Done Among
the Indians, Chinese and
Others.

LOWELL, Mass, Oct. 25.-The 4Sth
annual meeting Of the American Mis-.
sionary society is in session here. The
annual report of the executive commit.
tee was presented by President Gales
of Amherst college. 1t related mostly
to work among negroes, Southern
mountain whites or American High.
landers, the Indians and Chinese. The
field of the association extends from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and from
Florida to Alaska. Through its pupils
it reaches Africa, China, Japan, Cuba
and Mexico. In the South there are
80 common schools, mostly located in
rural districts. The educational work
in the mountains has kept equal pace
with that of the lowlands Of the South.
Report Considered Encouraging.
Work among the Alaskan Indians is
progressing favorably. There are now
II churches, 249 church members, II
schools, Sc missionaries and teachers,
Alt pupils and S01 Sunday school
scholars.
On the Pacific coast there are 81 Chi.
nese schools, with "a teachers and 1,201
pupils, while 1877 of the heather have
been turned from idolatry.
The society has now under it's charge
ITO schools with IA, 222 pupils, 646 mis-
sionaries, ITO churches, 10, 1877 church
members and 17,O25 Sunday school
scholars. The receipts for the current
year were $40, 469, and the expendi-
lures 1851, SO2, deficit of $21, 332, max.
ing the present Indebtedness of the
society 500, 800. As whole the report
is considered encouraging.
As to Indian Work.
Rev. Dwight NJ. Pratt of Portland,
Me-, reported from the committee on
Indian work. He said that the churches
in more civilized communities could
find inspiration in the rapid growth in
membership CT the Indian churches of
Nebraska and the Dakotas. He held
that the association made no mistake in
refusing government aid for its schools,
as Christian enterprise cannot be ham,
pered by alliance with the state or by
being in any way, subject to political
patronage. The report closes with an
appeal for liberal contributions.
Chinese Missions.
Rev. A. B. Dunning, d. D., reported
on Chinese missions on the Pacific
coast. He spoke of the encouraging
growth of Christian belief among the
Chinese in this country, and asserted
that they are sincere and do not join
the church from selfish and worldly
motives. The number of Chinese in
this country, he said, was steadily de-
creasing, and that now there are not
10O, 900 in the United States.
