1t is thought that Rev. DR.. George

appointed by the pope director OF the
papal observatory at Rome. DIR.
'5earle has done astronomical work for
40 years, and when assistant at the
Albany observatory in 1853 he dis
covered the asteroid Pandora; he was
from 1886 to 1888 assistant ut
the Havard observatory, and after
ward for while director of
the Catholic university library
at Brooklyn. This papal observatory
is not the observatory at Rome, where
Angelo Secchi made his great reputn-
tion and where he remained even
after the expulsion of the Jesuits from
Rome in 1870 1t is interesting to
note that Secchi went from this coun-
try to take the place he distinguished,
leaving the professorship of mathc-
matics Mt Georgetown, ID. G., in 1913.

taken Il lot of business away from the

tered Manila harbor flying the insur-
gent flag, which was promptly hauled

LONDON, oct. 24.-The French yellow
book on Fashoda seems to Indicate an
intention on the part of the French
government TO utilize the Morchand
affair as a means of raising the whole
Egyptian question. This impression IS
confirmed by the comments OF most OF
the Paris papers this morning.
The London press admits the gravity
OF the situation revealed by the yellow
book, but the papers are unanimous in
declaring that it is impossible for Lord
Salisbury TO consent to any negotiation
until Fashoda is evacuated
As. however, the French foreign min
lister NJ. Delcasse with equal firmness
declines TO withdraw Marchand without
previous negotiation. the situation has
an ominous look.

Salisbury has not replied 20 Baron de

which might have been hoped for.
