LONDON is pollced by $4,000 trained
officers. Such an army ought to be able
to deal with any mob, The fault is that
mobs are not dealt with when they are IN
process of formation and easily dis
persed. Soft words and turf are thro WI
at them until they grow strong and bold
then 1t is necessary TO shoot lot Of the
members before they get 1t into their
heads that their rlotous destruction OF
property is not funny for the proprietors
who are the sufferers. The time to deal
with mob is before 1t becomes mob.
This is truth that officers of the law
seem never TO be capable OF learning.

More Favorable News in wall Street
Waiting for Developments.

NEW YoRK, July 1.-The stock market
opened to-day with more decided tone
than prevailed yesterday, there being a
more hopeful feeling among brokers. The
news was OF rather more favorable charac-
ter, indicating that there was a chance for a
settlement OF the rate war, and that the
railroads I'm Chicago were determined TO
maintain their rights against the strikers
whether the civil authorities rendered them
any assistance or nnh Prices generally
were strong and above the closing figures
OF last night, and business was somewhat
inclined to move, but during the afternoon
the same feeling Of "waiting for develop
ments" showed itself and business became
heavy.
There was gain In prices all along the
line, the Changers and Vanderbilts being
especially favored. There was further or
deriDg OF gold Of some $3.50, 900 gold bars
for shipment, most Of which is for Berlin,
as the exchange rate is higher in that city
than in any other city in Europe. Hidel-
bach, lckelbeimer Il Co., who have ordered
most Of the gold recently, intimate that IL
Is sused IN Berlin for Russian loans.
Call money again made squirt and rose
to per cent, ranging between 81 the low
est and per cent. Tho movement was
attributed to the same manipulators who
have influenced the prices similarly on sew
eral recent occasions.
81. Paul was the most active stoc5, selling
$4,000 shares in market Of 2i2, 40 shares.
The bulls did the most talking at the close
Of the market.

Gen. George II. Thomas.


A letter just received from the youngest
sister OF the late Mai. General George II.
Thomas, by her cousin, Miss Matte Tyler,
the granddaughter OF President Tyler, con-
veys the sad intelligence that the generals
Oldest sister Judith, who partly reared him
after their mothers death and impressed
upon him to no slight extent his great quail
tiles of head and heart, is now lying at the
old homestead In Virginia at the point of
death. AS not inappropriate at this
time the following tribute TO Gen.
Thomas's memory that recently appeared
in the Current Of Chicago, written by Don
Piatt In an article descriptive Of the present
appearance Of Washington city, is presented.
He says, speaking of the statue to the hero:
ought to hold my peace in the presence OF
the military hero who will grow larger and
larger as time sweeps on. George II. Thomas
was really great man, and would have been
distinguished In any walk of life That he
did great service for us as q man.killer was an
accidental casually as 1t were-certainly an
exception. Out of all the ages put to record
two military men appeared up to the time of
our war who would have been great ia any
time One was Cesar, the other the great Ma
Ioleon. To these We may now add George II.
Thomas.
After the war ] had the honor of his con-
Gdence, and l saw in wonder not only his
purity OF character, but his singular pcnetra-
lion and originality OF thought. both grated

He entertained throughout life rever-
ence for the sister now about TO join him in
the world of spirits most profound. His
own moral being he recognized as that she
possessed. His intellectual traits and
fTmness of character he also knew TO be
hers. As with hin self so he knew and felt
to be with her. With both the mind ever
reposed upon its proper wisdom, aud

A BRIGHT LIFE ENDED.
Funeral of Thomas q. Bryan, tins
speaker" OF the "Junior House o.


Funeral OF Thomas g. Bryan, the
speaker" OF the "Junlor House OF
Representatives."
The funeral Of Thomas G.. Bryan took
place yesterday from the residence Of
his mother, 1897 G street northwest, and
was attended by large number Of the
friends Of the deceased and his family.
There were many beautiful floral offerings,
among which were two broken columns,
one surmounted by white dove. The
officiating minister said IL was not usual TO
make remarks on such occasions as this,
but, as he had been with the deceased dur
ing bis Illness, he thought II would be
comfort to those who loved Tom to know
that he had earnestly desired TO resume his
membership iu the church, which began
some years ago with his confirmation, and
that the Lords supper had been admins
tered by him a few days previous TO the
death. lie thought Toms last hours we're
well worthy Of imitation. The pallbearers
were MessTs. Charles G.. Warden, John
IIadloy Doyle, George G.. Colgate, Fred. s.
Smith, George II. Boyd, and Maurice
Claggett The intcrment was at Congress
sional Cemetery.
Tom Bryan was an exceedingly bright
young man and had many friends and
acquaintances In Washington. As q youth
he took the lead Of the pages OF the House
OF Representatives, having gained that dis
tinction by reason Of his brightness, energy,
and superior knowledge OF affairs. The
pages organize themselves into "Junior
House, the sessions OF which were held In
the hall Of the House preceding those OF
the senior body, and everybody who wit.
messed the doings of the former recognized
the imitativcness of the boys, while II may
be truly remarked that in some respects the
conduct Of the proceedings was worthy Of
imitation by the elders.
Tom Bryan was elected speaker OF the
"Junior House." and as such, with an ex-
traordlnary knowledge OF parliamentary
practice, together with quick perception
and natural shrewdness, he controlled the
body over which he presided. The perform
ances Of the Junior House became so inter-
esting as to afford great amusementto spec
tators,and enticed many members Of the elder
House to visit the capitol in time to witness
the novel and entertaining proceedings. On
more than one occasion, following the exam
pie set by older presiding officers, "Speaker'
Bryan called one Of the youngsters from the
