Signals are down in Sausalito. The
revenue cutter Bear left that port yester-
day morning to come to this city to pre-
pare for her trip north to look after the
sealers and whalers. The Bear was in
northern waters all during last summer,
but she has been in snug winter quarters
over at Sausalito since last November. The
advent of the cutter was quite an event in
social circles in the English colony, and
her departure left many sad heart be-

The Ottoman subject who has acquired

FOR THE SUBLIME PORTE
The Turkish Side of the
Armenian OutrageS Is
Presented.
Consul Hall Vindicates Ottoman
Action as Based on Sound
Principles.

Consul George Hall, who wears the order
of the Lion and the Sun of Persia and the
orders of nobility from his imperial Maj
esty, Sultan Abdul Hamid ii of Turkey, is
much exercised over the reports of the Ar
menian outrages which reach this city.
Consul Hall. loyal to his royal master, de-
clares that the Sultan is one of the most
humane and sagacious rulers in the world,
and that his severity is exercised only to-
ward those Armenians who plot against
his sovereignty.
Why" said Mr.. Hall, 'ithe Ottoman
Empire is distinguished for its hospitality.
All requests for authorization to open
schools presented by foreigners have al
ways met with the best reception by the
Government of Abdul Hamid. l have here
a list of some of them. AT Constantinople
alone one counts twenty free schools, or
phan asylums and colleges directed by
Lazarists, Brothers of the Christian schools.
Sisters of Charity and other Catholic re-
ligious orders, in which instruction is given
to over $500 students of both sexes. There
are besides five Protestant schools, directed
by English and American missions, one
Helleno-Catholic school and a dozen secu-
lar establishments of public instruction,
either superior, primary or secondary. To
these the Sultan contributes from his privy
purse.
Eyes, about the Armenian agitation.
We have some Armenians in this city, and
when / speak about the Armenian charac-
ter I 90 not wish to cast any reflection
upon them. There is a well-known prov
erb in Turkey that it requires six Jews to
deceive one Armenian. The Turks are
simply endeavoring to protect themselves
against their Vaccinations. Why, law
abiding Armenians are not only protected
but also employed in very high official po-
sitions, one of them being even at the pres
ent moment minister of the imperial
crown. They have their own schools in
Turkey and there are only 900 600 of them

ALAMEDA.

Superior Judge Prick has rendered a de-
-cision in the Louisa-street opening, which
has been pending for nearly a year.
Charles Lainer resisted the report of the
Commissioners by suing out an injunction
restraining the Superintendent of Streets
from selling the property delinquent for
non-payment of assessments: The Com
missioners demurred ito the complaint
upon which the Injunction was issued and
the demurrer was sustained. The theory
OF the court is that the. petitioners should
tender the amount of the assessment due
for the remainder of the. land taken before
they could have a; standing that would en-
title peS<nanent injunction. The Commits
sioners think. they have gained an advan-
tage that means'Qltimate victory.

AGE OF THE EARTH.
Professor Geikie Thinks 1t May Be Nor.
Than 100, 0O0, 900 Years.

1t is more than thirty years since Lord
Kelvin pointed out that there must be an
ascertainable limit to the antiquity of the
earth, and that from the data at that time
available the limit could not be fixed at
less than 10000, 900 or more than 400, 600. 900
years. He based this calculation on the
thermal conductivity of the globe. After
ward returning to the subject he placed
the limit within 100000 900 years, and still
more recently, reviewing the question in
the light of the arguments from tidal
retardation and the age of the suns heat,
he has brought down the period of the
earth's antiquity to about 10000 600 years.
