Thomas Skelton Harrison, the United States consul general at Cairo, has made lengthy report on the trade con- ditions of Egypt He says that owing to it's natural resources and it's situa- tion with reference to the Suez Canal it is market worthy the attention of American manufacturers and business men. It is almost equal in superficial area to the whole of the North Atlantic and South Atlantic states, and it's cul- tivated area is about equal to the State of Maryland. Its population is between 5000, 900 and 10,0OO,0O0 In proportion to population it has more railway mileage than Austria Hungary, Spain or Por- tuga1, and building is active. Its in- ports in 1896 amounted to more than fifty millions, of which we sent only $215,00 In the opinion of the consul general Egypt should prove to be an excellent market for American-made agricultural machinery and steam ma- chinery. The opening up of the Don- gola province, now under way, will re- suit in a heavy increase of the impor- tations of textiles.

ADULATIoN OF CERVERA,

The so-called admirers Of Admiral
Cervera, now a prisoner of war at An
napolis, are doing that old man deal
of injury by their praise. their atten-
tons to him and their solicitude in his
behalf. He himself says that at the
conclusion Of the war he must return
to his country TO answer under its laws
for his acts. Now every American
plaudit for him Will be regarded in
Spain with jealousy and suspicion. and
will make it all the harder for the man
TO clear himself of reproach and save
his neck from the gallows.
Besides this we.are unable to compre-
hend the reasons for American adula-
tion of the Spanish Admiral. He Is
old, tbs true, but that is the fate OF
years. He spared Hobson it's true, but
not until the gallant Lieutenant had
been for ten minutes under hailstorm
of Spanish bullets, escape from which
amazed even the Spanish Admiral. His
first act when he had Hobson safe on
board was TO put him in line of fire by
immuring him in Morro Castle, by
which mean device he sheltered that
fort from American. shot for a fortnight.
Hobson was not exactly ill-treated
while prisoner, but he was poorly sus-
tained, so poorly that the British Con-
sui felt called upon to intervene and
protest, after which Hobson and the
other prisoners were removed to a hos
pital in the outskirts of Santiago. where.

Union" writes from Pacific Grove:
There are such a large number OF
Sacramento people in Pacific Grove
this season that few notes about
some of them may be of interest to the
readers of the Record Union" The
heat of the interior valleys has been a
strong stimulus to urge the good peo-
pie of the inland towns to seek the cool
breezeS of the coast. In spite of the
groundless reports of prevalent diph-
liberia, Pacific Grove has received a
large number of them, the delegation
from Sacramento being especially large.
The numerous summer meetings
have been a source of much pleasure
and profit to all who attended, and
there was a large number. Parties and
excursions of the Sacramento visitors
have been very important factor in
the social life Of the Grove during the
present season. Driving parties around
the seventeen-mile drive. tramps to
Moss Beach, and surf bathing have

mento. Quite a number of Sacramen-

CITY BY THE SEA.
San Francisco's Tax Roll $5,OOO,.
600 More Than in 1897.

San Francisco's assessment, as fixed
by the Board of Supervisors, was re-
ceived by the Secretary OF the State
Board of Equalization yesterday. The
return fixes the valuation of property
in the city and county at S3o2, 344 ,061,
being $5000,000 in excess of the figures
returned in 1897.
1t will be remembered that in 1897
the Auditors return from San Fran
cisco, as fixed by the Board of Super
visors, placed the values at so low a
rate that the State Board was obliged
either to raise all the counties 10 per
cent. or reduce valuations returned
from nearly all the other counties in
the State from 10 to ID per cent. The
latter course was pursued, and while
San Francisco's roll was not increased,
the rate on taxable values was in re-
ahty raised by the reduction of the
rolls from other counties, as returned.
Auditors returns from twenty-three
counties have not yet been received, and
no citations will be made until all are
in.

GRAND ISLAND LAND,
Suit to Compel Purchaser to Keep
His Contract.

An action has been commenced by
Thomas H. Williams, Jr., against M.
Marx to compel the latter to carry into
effect specific agreement, made in
writing, to purchase of the plaintiff 1O3
acres of land. at $50 per acre, on Grand
Island
The plaintiff alleges that said agree
ment was executed by defendant on
April IL, 1896; that by its terms Marx
was to pay $1,000 down, the same to be
credited on the entire payment when
all the money should be paid; that the
$1,000 was so paid, but on the 3Oth
of May defendant gave notice that the
title to the land was not satisfactory.
and he declined to complete the pur-
chase.
This allegation the plaintiff denies,
and asks the court to compel the de-
fendant to carry out his contract.

Dr. Waldenstein is right, the British
and American nations cannot justly lay
claim to be distinctively Anglo-Sa
nations. Neither Britons nor Ameri-
cans are Anglo-Saxons. Each is the
product of varied and miscellaneous
chronological elements. 1t may be said,
however that we more nearly than any
other peoples-that is, English and
American-represent the aggressive.
progressive, up-looking and broad-se
ing spirit Of the Anglo Saxonism, so to
speak But the doctor is right in his
contention which he elaborates in the
current number Of the North Ameri-
can Review" The true basis of friend
ship and kindliness between England
and America is found in the common
tongue; in the main, in common laws
and customs and similar forms of Gov
ernment, since both are really free
Governments and from and by the peo-
pie and of the people; the same moral
standards, and finally common inter-

OLA PODRIDA.

The Democracy and the Populists
promise to rival Barnum's Happy
Family. Such a mixing up has no
parallel. The Alabama Democrats the
other day at a State election fought the
Populists and fairly wiped the brown
earth with their mutilated remains,
whereupon California Democrats
clapped hands and sang songs Of vic
tory. Right in the same moon the
Democratic leaders in this State re-
solved upon a fusion with the Popu-
lists over whom they rejoiced in vic
tory achieved by their Alabama
brethren.
A little later the Kansas Democracy
and the Republicans harnessed to each
other to defeat the Populists in that
State. In Florida last week the Demo-
Gratis in convention assembled, con-
demned and denounced territorial ex-
pansion, and on the self-same day the
Wyoming Democracy declared in favor
Of getting all we can and keeping all
we acquire" Within the same sun the
Texas Democrats got into a wrangle
Bailey Of Texas, the House leader, Of
fering resolutions against acquisition
Of territory, and Senator Chiffon, Gov
ernor Culbertson and Governor Hogg
favoring precisely an opposite doctrine
and inserting plank approving the
policy of the Administration. Where

Mr. Mcguire, the Populist candidate for

The Democrats are having very
hard time TO find where they are at
all over the country. The situation IS
very confused and, mixed all around
and We believe that the Democrats in
California have acted wisely in aban-
doning their party as q separate or
gan1zation and taken refuge in the
Populist camp. In Minnesota the Pop
ullsts have allowed the Democrats one
State office. in Nebraska one or two anu
an California they have left one or two
OF less important ones for the Demo-
Gratis to fill. But uniformity demands
that the Democrats check their pro-
penslty to formulate platforms and
policies. These not only conflict with
each other, but conflict with Demo-

lists should insist as one of the forfeits
TO their continued favor that Demo-
