San Francisco. The steamer Rosalia,
which left port Monday for Puget Sound,
has returned. The steamer intends to
go on the Alaska route from the Sound,
and before leaving she was fitted up for
the accommodation of about fifty cabin
passengers and a like number in the
Hteerage. That meant the raising of the
superstructure two decks higher, and
the little steamer stuck away up out of
the water and appeared to be top-heavy.
She got off Point Keyes on her trip north
and met with a strong head sea. She
was driven witli good speed into the
wave,, and all went well for a time.
Suddenly there was a crash, aud a tor
rent of water came pouring in on the
lower deck. Two large port holes in the
bow had been smashed in by a heavy
wave, and the deck was flooded. The
hatches were not tight, and the water
poured down into the hold, damaging
her cargo considerably. She will dis
charge the ruined goods and repair.

THE GRAND OLD MAN.
Glory of His Life Departing, as
He Can Work No More.
A BENT, FEEBLE OCTOGENARIAN.
But From All Mouth Coma Words of
Praise the Sams ae Thos Accorded
After Memory Haa Been Hallowed by
' the Tomb Foreign News.
Losdo. The Sun correspondent ca-
bles : Those who feared that his retire
ment from public life would bring upon
Mr. Gladstone just those evil which he
designed to avoid are beginning to find
' their judgment justified. The grand old
man has aged many year in the past
three months. The picture he made at
the Dr. Andrew Clark memorial meeting
the other day was a pitiful one. He wa 1
a feeble, bent octogenarian, who leaned
' upon a stout stick even when addressing
' the audience from his chair. Hi word
were brave, polished, well chosen and
appropriate. Not a shadow ha yet
crossed his shining intellect, but both
flesh and spirit are breaking. He is not
ill, no specific malady is undermining
hi marvelous vitality, but the great
change, which his grieving friends can
not Fail to recognize, is making rapid '
progress. He ha lost interest in life;
that is ominous. For sixty years he
found rest in other forms of activity and
peace in new struggle. Work has been
his only recreation. Fresh responsibility :
never failed to renew his vigor. His
friends are beginning to understand now
what Sir Andrew Clark saw clearly that
for such a man to fold his hands meant
despair and death.
KXTKRMINATINO SLAVE TRADE.
An Expedition in Africa That Will End
the Arabs' Influence.
Zanzibar. Advices have reached here
from Mengo to the effect that the fugi
tive expedition under the command of
Colonel Colville sent against Kabarega,
King of Uniyore. has completely defeated
the King's forces. In November last
Kino Kahamra attacked a chief at Tom.
who waa a British ally. The chief ap- j
plied to the British for aid, and a force j
of 200 Nubians commanded by Major
Owen was sent to his assistance. This
force met Kabarega' torce, ana aiier a
fight that lasted three hours the latter
fled, leaving at least fifty dead. War
was then declared on Kabarega and a
force of 400 Nubians and 10.000 Wyan
dova native sent against him. Five
thousand of the latter carried arms.
This force wa too strong for Kabarega,
and though he gave battle, he was routed.
The expedition has established a chain
of forts from the Albert Nianza, on the
banks of which Kabarega' headquarters
were situated, to Uganda. It is expected
that the success of the expedition will
prove a death blew to the slave trade of
this region and will bring Arab influence
to an end.
GERMAN EDITORS SENTENCED.
They Commented Too Severely ea tha
Conduct of tho Polios.
Berlin. Nine editors have been sen
tenced at the end of a two days' trial for
having libeled the police in commenting
on their conduct at the Friederichsruhe
brewery January IS last. On this date
a company of policemen attacked with
drawa swords a meeting of the unem-
fdoyed, and drove all from the neighbor
lood of the brewery. The affair was
made the subject of interpellations in
the Reichstag, and was debated with ex
cessive bitterness by the Social Demo
crats. Most of the offending editors
were Social Democrats. They received
these sentences : Robert Schmidt of the
Vorwaerts, five months' imprisonment;
Kessler of the Volkeblatt and Wissber
ger of the Berlin Zeitung, three months
each; Sachan of the Social Demokrat
and Harnish of the Lichstrahlen, two
months each. The rest were fined from
150 to 500 mark each.
HOSTILITY TO BOBOONO.
Tha President of Peru I Hlased at a
Bull Fight.
Lima, Peru. Borgono ha received
marked assurance that there is an ele
ment in this city which is decidedly hos
tile to him. A bull fight had drawn an
immense crowd to the amphitheater,
and when the matador on entering the
arena raised bis sword in salute to Pres
ident Borgono a storm of hissing and
whistling burst from the throng of spec
tators, and the cry arose: "No, he is
no President; he is a usurper." The
tumult, which lasted several seconds,
created great excitement. Borgono is
pushing his aggressive tactics against
his opponents, and arrests of persons
who are hostile to him and to his admin
istration continue in all parts of the Re
public. The government ia extremely
hard pressed for money.
Tha Pope and Spain.
London. A dispatch to the Standard
from Rome says Don Carlos, the Spanish
pretender, has intimated to the Pope
that, while he is devoted and obedient
to the vicar of Christ, he cannot counsel
his followers to abandon the cause in
Spain, which is that of reclaiming his
legitimate rights, which claim is similar
to that of the Pope for the restoration
of temporal power. This decision from
Don Carlos, which challenges the Pope's
present attitude to the reigning dynasty
of Spain, has produced a deep impres
sion at the Vatican. A large portion of
the Spanish clergy follow Don Carlos.
Glgantlo Saloou Business.
Rome. Baron Sonnino, Finance Min
ister, has signed a convention with an
English syndicate, by which the syndi
cate has agreed to pay the government
60,000,000 lire annually in exchange for
the alcohol monopoly.' The government
has been enabled thus to dispense with
the project to reduce the interest on
rentes.
