The Princes Funeral.

Yesterday the body of the Prince Im-
perial arrived at Portsmouth, and was sd.
luted with all the outward show of woe that
England has cause to feel. From Portsmouth
the Enchantress is bearing the dead Prince
to Woolwich, and the great men-of-war at
anchor in the beautiful harbor and NIL the
ships along the coast and in the Thames
will lower their flags at half mast to
tell an Empress of nations grief
for Generals negligence. Tonight the
body will rest at Woolwich, guarded we'll
by sentries-much better, indeed, than their
comrades cared for the young Prince in
life. Early on Saturday morning the body
will be taken to Chiselhurst, the entire gar-
rison Of Woolwich giving it the last escort.
approaching Camden House with reversed
arms and heavy hearts. A hundred thou
sand people will gather to see the mourn
full procession, and as many more will
assemble at Chiselhurst on the day when
the body is laid to rest And Of these many,
very many, will weep. England would
gladly call the Prince back again to life il
she could but she can only grieve. 4e.4-o

Fast Rowing at Saratoga.

Grand water again at Saratoga yesterday
did not still avail New York much in this
all round struggle, which is fast getting to
be more truly national She did win the
doubles handily, and Courtneys man, Burt
Brown, led our batch of junior singles, but
there it ended. Perhaps the most notice
able event in the day was Virginia ut last
coming to the front in the second junior
singles, beating men from Yonkers, De-
troit and Canada. For years these Elizabeth
men have tried, but have never won much
till now. Indeed, it used to look as though
they would never win. But the day has
come at last and is well deserved. But
Michigan and the Northwest is the region
most covered with glory, her Wah-wah-
each winning their heats in the fours, the
Mutuals of Albany, the hardy SONS of Sau-
gerties and our own we'll tried and oft
victorious Atalantas having to bow grace
fully to the giants of the Northwest.
Atalanta had better have big Rodger in the
boat next time, for she will need him
Yesterdays work made it more than plain
that the best amatuer fours in this country
to-day hail from the State of Michigan. 1t
is pity that the best four out of Harvard's
eight could not have had shy at them,
for one thing about their performance
proves how unmistakably good it was.
When the London Rowing four beat the
Yales by quarter of second at the Gen.
tennial they did the mile and half in
Sm. 81 las. But the Wah-wnh-sums only
took 8m. 43 1-2s. yesterday, the Hillsdales
Sm. Al las, and the s'Shoes" 8m. 35 3-4s.!
a magnificent score, getting down close to
the Sm. 22s. of the Halifax professionals at
the Centennial. Probably, on the whole.
it was just as we'll for the English amateurs
that they did bar the ''Shoes" out at Henley
this season after all.

Germany and Russia.

One of the very excellent newspapers
published in the Western States--the Gin
cinnati Enquirer publishes a report from
st. Petersburg which puts the recently re-
ported GOODNESS between Russia and Ger
many to the account Of discovery recently
made by the Russian police in the papers
of the German Embassy. Thieves, it is
said, robbed the apartments Of the Ger
man military attach6. Whether they were
"honest thieves" or whether they are
only alleged as pretext to cover q
perquisition Of the Russian police, is
put in doubt. But in the apart
ment there thieves, real or diplomatic,
found maps, estimates and a plan of cam
paign for possible war between Germany
and Russia. 1t is good story, and If it is
not true ut least the troubadour who put it
in shape has talent. Military attaches are,
however, recognized officials whose duty it
is to keep their governments informed on
topics of moment from a military point of
view, and 1t is not easy to say what papers
in their possession would justify offence
Nobody has any better maps Of Russia than
are in possession of the German War Office
already, and any plan of campaign intended
seriously would be made nearer the Office
of Count Won M oltke. II. may be, therefore
that this was not the real cause Of the cool

New WAYS 10 PAY Old Debts.

In Georgia, the Massachusetts, Of the
South" as it has been called, they believe
themselves to have discovered new way
rate of interest. They have issued five and
ten dollar bonds, bearing four per cent in
terest, and with the sale of these, which
answer as currency. they have paid of
o considerable amount OF six and seven per
cent bonds which fell due early in the pres
ent year. So far as the State Treasurer can
market these ''baby bonds," as they are
called, he can of course raise money to pay
off past due bonds bearing higher interest,
but the operation is not likely to be on a
large scale in any case.
In Connecticut they are now discussing
proposition to refund six and seven per
cent municipal bonds in four and half per
cent State bonds, the interest and principal
of which are to be met by the debtor towns
and cities, of course. the State only acting
as their agent and giving them the benefit
of its superior credit. Unfortunately for
the success of this plan most Of the munich
pal bonds have good many years to run,
and the holders, who are now getting six or
seven per cent. cannot be forced to surren-
der their securities or exchange them for
four and half per cents
Both these expedients are, after all,
clumsy and of doubtful value. Georgia
ought to be able to borrow at four or four
and half per cent without issuing small
bonds of the nature of bank notes and
Connecticut cities, if they will manage their
affairs prudently, should be able to do as
lady who thanked Heaven she had been
able to borrow enough money to pay all her
debts has many imitators in these days
but the best method with debt, after all,
is to pay it outright

Taking tho Wrong Road.

A prisoner was arraigned at the bar of
the Tombs Police Court yesterday ON o
charge Of attempted highway robbery.
While the witnesses were recounting the
particulars Of the crime to enable the clerk
to draft the complaint the accused sud
denly made flying leap over the railing
and, springing on a bench beneath the open
window, was about to bid farewell to the
court room, when his fight was arrested by
an officer who caught him by the leg, and o
strong pair of handouts prevented any
further display of agility. .lf4
The attempt at escape was a very foolish
one II the prisoner had been well posted
he would have known that his surest road
to liberty was not out of the police court
window. He should have gone to Jail. and
then he might have found his way to free
dom through a very small hole. Or he
should have waited until convicted and
sentenced for the felony, when an order for
q stay of proceedings and o friendly Sheriff
would have enabled him to walk the streets
at his leisure and enjoy himself over
convivial glass with O deputy. To be sure
neither of these privileges could have been
secured without ''infuenoe" or its equiva-
lent, and perhaps the Tombs prisoner felt
his deficiency in this respect and, not hav-
ing q police uniform on his back, con-
cluded his only chance Of escape was at
the risk of his neck. is l.sa.

The 1.raeiite. as Farmers.

The Hebrews in this country have an
honorable record as the supporters of their
own poor and helpless people. Leading
members of their faith have been consider
ing for two or three years q project for
helping their poor coreligionists to the
ownership of land, and this plan was
yesterday, though not without opposi-
ton, adopted by the Hebrew Con-
vention which has been in session in
this city. The resolution adopted by the
Convention authorizes q committee of FIVE
persons TO obtain land, farming implements
and money for the settlement of Hebrew
families, who are to occupy as tenants,
without charge, for seven years, when they
may buy the land at valuation. Several
tracts Of land were offered as gifts to the
committee before the Convention adjourned.
The experiment thus begun is Of consid-
erable interest, and we shall watch its
progress with a sincere desire that it may
succeed. There is at this time very gen.
oral movement in all parts Of this country
toward the land, which is one of the most
promising signs of prosperous future

Cheap Fares.

Is is stated that at least half the di-
rectors in the Board controlling our
elevated railroads are opposed to five
cent fares at all hours, and the remain
ing members are by no means prepared
to favor the policy at the present time.
The reason given is that the roads
would not make as much money at a
uniform five cent rate as. they now do
at five cents during the cheap hours and
ten cents the remainder of the day.
The New York and Metropolitan lines are
estimated to carry between them, in round
numbers. one hundred and fifty thousand
passengers a day. If these are evenly di-
vided between the five and ten cent hours
and this is nearly the case-it would require
an increase of fifty per cent, or of seventy
five thousand passengers, to realize the
same amount of receipts at a uniform rate
of five cents. The directors express the
opinion that they cannot calculate on this
large increase.
We believe that the directors are mistaken.
If one-half the total number of passengers
is carried in the five cent hours then sew
enty-fve thousand people ride over the
roads in four hours, and the other seventy
five thousand in twenty hours on the New
York line and fourteen and half
hours the Metropolitan. The ad-
ditional seventy-fve thousand would have
to be gained during the long hours,
and we believe that more than twice
that number would be added to the present
travel without running trains at shorter in
tervals than they are now run. OF course
the adoption of the low fare policy would be
an experiment" but it is one the result Of
which cannot well be doubted. Under the
present system the cheap hours in the even
ing, from five till seven o'clock, are sup
posed to be for the especial benefit of per-
sons going from their employment down
town to their homes up town, and it might
be thought that the up trains alone would
be crowded. But the fact is that the down
town trains during those two hours are
almost as well filled as the uptown, show
ing conclusively that people avail them
selves of the cheap hours generally,
and not only in going to or returning
from their daily labor. The roads, how
ever. have it in their power to satisfactorily
test the question whether the uniform Eve
cent rate will or will not pay. They can
extend the hours of the five cent trains
say till ten o'clock in the morning and till
nine o'clock in the evening-for a month or
two and see whether that does not increase
their receipts instead of diminishing them.
If it does then they can no longer doubt
that the uniform five cent rate will be
gain rather than loss to their treasures.
