San Francisco, Feb. 2.-There is little
hope for the ship Prince Edward. that
left Baltimore nearly nine months ago
for Honolulu to load sugar. When the
Coptic left Honolulu the Prince Ed
ward had not reported, and the friends
of Captain Pande and his crew We're
commencing to feel the greatest un-
easiness. The ship was considered a
bad risk for insurance men a few weeks
ago, and when the news that she had
failed to report was brought here to-
day. all hope for her safety was aban-
doned. The Prince Edward, if she has
foundered, has carried down with her
a crew of n men all told. There is a
bare possibility that the ship was dis
abled and has gone ashore on one of
the innumerable islands of the South
seas.

Anecdote OF the Recently Assassinated
Empress Elizabeth OF Austria.

While travelling in Spain some fifteen
years ago, the writer was entertained
at dinner in Jerez by an English gentle
man who was the owner of fine hunt
ing estate ca the south coast of Spain,
where he usually spent the summer
months. In the spring of 1882 the
Austrian consul called on MIR. D. and
said that his mistress, the Empress
Elizabeth, understanding that he pro-
posed spending the season in England,
greatly desired to rent his place.
Mr.. D. said he would not rent his
place to anyone, but he would feel
highly honored if her majesty would
occupy it for the summer.
When he returned with his family in
the autumn his wife received a note
from the Empress saying that she
would pass through JeGez en- a certain
day, and desired to breakfast with her.
Her majesty expressed her indebted
ness for a delightful summer. and
urged that she be allowed to make
some compensation for the place, but
the offer was gracefully refused. At
length the Empress said:
rs there nothing l can do to show
my appreciation of your kindness and
courtesy?"
We'll, replied Mr.. D, eff on your
maiesty's return to Vienna you Will
send me small photograph with your
autograph, l shall be pleased 20 Los

Several months passed without the
appearance OF the promised portrait,
and both Mr.. and Mrs. D. rather I'M
willingly arrived at the conclusion that
the hlustrious lady had entirely for
gotten them and her promise, when a
few weeks later an enormous box ar
rived, containing finely framed, full
length oil painting of the Empress, ex-
ecuted by the Austrian court painter.

RUMORS ABOUT ROYALTY.

If the German emperor is undoubt-
eddy the only sovereign preacher and
orator, Carmen Sylvia, the queen of
Roumania, is probably the only royal
parsonage who, besides being an au-
thor and poet, is public lecturer.
For sometime past she has been ac-
customed to give lectures privately in
her palace to young ladies of the lead
ing families of her country. These lit
tie assemblies proved SO attractive
that the requests for admission have
grown inconvenient, so the the queen
has found it expedient to lecture In the
high school for all students who cared
to attend. Before she could do this.
however, she had to obtain a regular
teachers diploma, signed by the king
and the Roumanian minister of edu-
cation.
Apropos of Queen Victoria 1t is not
generally known that she is able to
write quite as we'll with her left hand
as with her right. For this dexterity
she is indebted to her clever but I'M
popular mother, the Duchess of Kent.
who held unusual but eminently sem
sible views on the subject of education.
The Queen of England and Empress OF
India is probably the only sovereign
whom may thus be said to possess the
gift Of ambi6exterity.
Count Seefrid, who some years ago
eloped with Princess Elizabeth of Ba-
varia, being privately married at Ge-
noa a week after their flight from
Munich, has just retired from the
Austrian army, to which he was trans
ferred by the emperor after being de-
prived of his commission as a Bavar-
ian officer by the regent Of Bavaria.
Francis Joseph has at length succeeded
in securing the young counts pardon
from the reigning family of Bavaria.
and although the count will not be re-
stored to the Bavarian army. get he
will be allowed to take UP his resi-
dence with is royal consort on his an
cestral estate at Buddenheim.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN HAVANA

That English is to be the language
OF trade In Cuba is early evidenced by
the efforts of the Cuban and Span
ish merchants to learn the language
of the Yankee invaders. The more
progressive merchants have hired
clerks who speak English, and this
class of labor is in great demand.
Others have clerks who think they can
speak English, and try to learn more
from their customers.
1t may be said to the credit of the
Havanese that they pick up English
much quicker than the Americans
form a speaking acquaintance with
Spanish. Latins seem to have the
facility of acquiring languages not to
be found in the Anglo-Saxon, and we
may be sure that inside of three
months English will be spoken in
every store of any size in Havana. 1t
may not be the best of English, but il
will be English which all Americans
can comprehend.
