THE NATCHEZ AGAINST TIME.
Greater Speed Than the Lee.

As the night editor of the REPUBLICAN
was vending his homewaid way Saturday
morning, he heard 4 steamer backing ont,
and this is the story told by the PicGyune Of
last evening:
This morning. at two O'Clock. while the
city was wrapped in profound slumber the
steamer Natchez. Captain T. i. Leathcls.
started from her moorln9s at the foot of
Canal street, on Il race against time to
Natchez.
Ever since the great race between the
Lee and Natchez. in which the former bore
OFF the hOnors, there has been an expecta-
ton that Captain Leathers would make an
effort to beat the Lees time 10 NatcheZ at
least. This expectation, it appears. was
well grounded, for Captain Leathers, hay
ing made certain important changes in the
furnaces and CRATE bars of his steamer, and
having noticed a very perceptible improve
ment in her speed, determined 10 run for the
horns which the Lee gailantly won and
so proudly wears.
Stripped for the run, the famous steamer
lay at her moorings yesterday, the very
picture of grace and beauty.
Everything aboard her looked spiclS and
span. and SO clean were her decks that the
daintiest epicure might have eaten q meal
served thereon.
Unfortunately for the Natchez, she was
stopped in her swift career up stream by a
dense fog at College Point, just sixty miles
above the city, and was compelled to return
to await some more propitious time. The
time made by her, however, in the short
run, fully justities Captain Leathers' opinion
OF her ability. We suhjoin a statement of
the Lees time made on the great race and
the NatcheZ time made this morning:

St. Cloud must have been wantonly
burned by the Parisians, as no Prussians
were there at the time.
The action between the French and the
Prussians, preceding the occupation of Or

Six hundred pounds sterling have been
collected at the gate of Strasburg citadel.

correspondent of the London Post;
writing from Paris, laughs at the sham he
roism of the people of that city. Their loud
talking, without deeds, and the hope of any,
and frivoHty are universal He says: "The
government is as clustering and weak and
incompetent as the people"
The Prussians say they will soon have

The Prussians before Paris are very mae

prelude to a formidable attack.

The eDvrons of Paris, where the lombard

The chancellor of the Bund has ordered a
return of the contributions in money and
land exacted by the French from 1906 to 1908
within Prussian monarchy only. The re-
turns of these two years show that four

thalers, Pomerania 25,000,C00, excluding
Stetling, West Prussia 100000, East Prus-
sia 81 100000.
Loss inflicted on Prussia alone in those
two years, was 250, ,000,0 tilalers.
The seaport chambers are ordered to re-
port their loss in ships captured during the
blockade.
