NO NEWS FROM THE KEARsARaE.
Relatives of the Crew Afraid the Men
viii Starve to Death

Washington, Feb. 1.-Secretary Her
bert was anxiously looking all day for a
dispatch announcing the return of the
rescue steamer City of Para to Colon with
the officers and crew of the wrecked cor
vette Kearsarge now lying upon Ron
cador reef, $50 miles away, but up to a
late hour this evening, no dispatch had
come to hand. The secretary anxiety arose
more from an amiable desire TO relieve
the minds of the friends and relatives of
the shipwrecked men than from any real
apprehension on his own part, or on that
of the best informed navy officials of
serious impending danger
OFFICERS NOT ALARMED.
The navy department officials stated
yesterday that they would feel no cause
for alarm if news of the successful accom-
plishment of the City of Para's mission
did not reach them till sometime Monday,
or even as late as Tuesday morning
But sensational stories published about
delay in the attempt to rescue and of pos
sible starvation aud other hoaaors have
caused the deparCmentro TO be Overwhelmed
with kilograms of inquiry from relatives,
whose fears the secretary would like to
allay at the earliest possible moment 1t
is hardly likely that any news can now
come to hand tonight, but tomorrow it
is no ped will bring a welcome cable mes
sage of safety and rescue.

dren, arrived here this morning on the

yankee Doodle" and "Ha,l. Columbia.

Louis G. Elson, the musical critic,
says that yankee Doodle" was sug-
gested by the motley appearance of
the colonial troops when they mus
tered for the Indian wars in 1855.
An English wit composed it, and the
slang of that day, doodle" meant a
simpleton, and 'macaroni" a dude.
Mr.. Elson says that Yankee Doodle
was the beginning and the end of the
Revolutionary war, for at Lexington
the British played it in derision, and
at the surrender of CORVALLIS the
Americans paid it back with interest,
making the British prisoners march
by the same tune. At the present
time Europe regards Hail Columbia
as our national anthem, and the first
edition of this song was shown by
Mr.. Elson in illustrating the crude
harm'onies with which it was born.
The tune had existed for some time
as march, but was first sung in Phil
adelphia by an actor named Fox at
his benefit. The audience went wild
over it, and it was encored eight
times. Mr.. Elson attributed the orr
gin Of the music of 1.-THE Star Span
gled Banner" to an English drinking
song, written in ITO.

Rainfall at Jerusalem

The rainfall of Jerusalem is pretty
heavy, considering that the summer
months show none, and it all has %
be packed in the winter season.
There has been a marked augmenta-
ton within the last 16 years, attrib-
uted by some to the Suez canal. The
joining of the two seas has steadily
and increasingly modified the eli
mate of lower Egypt, which has ex-
hlblted greater rainfall and is per-
haps little cooler. But it is not
clear how it could bring more rain
to the hills of Judaa. The rising of
the Nile brings clouds, and the great
white, fieecy masses that roll north
ward are called at Beirut 1.-The
Nile" by people who probably do not
know any other Specification of the
term and certainly know nothing of
the mighty river. The increase of
rainfall at Jerusalem, noticed by Mr..
Glaisher and others, may be assigned
with great probability to the more
regular and accurate observations of
recent years. There is now a we'll
equipped meteorological station at
Jerusalem under the direction of the
Christian Brothers. Country Gen
