No. More Than One-ihtrd OF 'he
Ttoai,. oF ths Hurricane victims
Recovered.
AprA, April 27.-Not more than one
third OF the bodies Of the victims OF inc
hurricane Of March 10th and 10Th nave
been recovered, and all are so much ais
figured that 1t Is impossible TO ascertain
their identity. A body, supposed 70 DC
that OF Captain sohoonmaker OF the
Vnndalla, which was found ON tho peacn
four mileB from Apia, was buried on the
German plantation near whore IL was
washed ashore. Paymaster Arms'a body,
which was positively identihHd, was
washed ashore noar tho house OF Captain
Hamilton, Gu American citizen, nNing in
Apia, who buried the body Ia MS yio.
The corpse of PsymAster Roche was also
found about mile from the wreck OF
the Vaudalia. Lieutenant Sutton's body
has never been recovered. The consuls
of the two governments employed natives
to bury ali bodies that should come
ashore, and agreed to share funeral er-
peuses. Ii is supposed nearly all the
bodies Of officers and men OF the Ger
man Runboat Eber are imprisoned in the
wreck.
A native diver in trying to recover q
body which he saw fastened in the wreck
took hold OF the head, but 1t parted from
the trunk, and by the time no reached the
surface the flesh had fallen on and notn-
ing but the bare skull was left In his
hands.
There has been considerable sickness
among the American sailors on the island.
Admiral Kimberly has been assiduous
in his efforts towards bringing about q
settlement between the native factions.
Tamasese while protesting wish to have
the war ended, has thus far RETAINED
from making any oyeriuses OF pence. In
letter to the admiral he expressed a
willingness to forgive uataafa and all his
men II they would throw down their
arms He also stated that he would not
consider any proposition for peace until
after the conclusion OF the Berlin confer
ence, which he expected would settle the
difficulty.
Several native demonstrations have
been made in honor Of Admiral Kimberly
and his officers, whom MataAfa's men
hold in the highest esteem. He was
finally obliged TO request Mataafa not TO
have any more presentations, as he could
not see the natives depriving themselves
by bringing th0ir food TO him. On the
It'll OF April over 0O0 warriors held a
grand review before the admirars house
aud 1000 women performed their native
dances. As a mark Of high esteem, sew.
eral Of the native chiefs danced before
the house, something they never do ex-
cept before persons Of very exalted rank.

we chronicle the phenomenal time just
made by the new City or Paris-5 days,
23 hours and minutes. II was thought
q big achievement when the seven days

hounds of the Atlantic have been trying
to lower the time to six days. The
Etruria nearly succeeded in doing this
last June, but the pennant Of champion

average of nearly 24t statute miles per

o. Tuesday week we and strong editorial
remonssranoe against the adoption of a
special Council committee report recon-
nlending that street railway company
be given an electric road Franchise ON
Illinois street for Ia years. The editor
urges that this franchise is entirely too
valuable to be given away. II it wore
the personal property Of the counoilmen,
he adds, they would not for q moment
think Of giving it away. They would sell
1t for good round SUM. Such being the
case thsy should do the same with the
city's property. And further on he says;
IAN electric franchise is most valu-
able thing. 1t is worth large and solid
return. Nine per cent of gross income
for horse-car companies, It has been
demonstrated by years Of trial, leaves
them richly prosperous. An electric
road is 40 per cent cheaper than ho-se
road. With equal justice IL per cent
could be asked for an electric road, and
1t ought to be-"
Now, Indianapolis is not so gigantic in
comparison with Wilmington. We are
not informed as TO its present population
but in 1880 it had rs, 600 inhabitants, in
round numbers, against $4,000 for our
own city. There is no apparent reSson
why it should grow proportionately
faster than Wilmington. Yot here We
have in indianapolis an outcry that IN
electric road franchise with IL years to
run should yield the city II per cent on
its gross receipts for the use OF o street.
While il Wilmington similar franchise

using several streets free Of charge is

taught by experience. Self preservation
made some such change imperatiyely

Under the new arrangement the appor-
tionment is to go by rotation, giving each

The Philadelphia belt line project is
certainly backed by the right men to
make it 60 if it has any go in it and they
give it out that they are not seeking to
make money for themselves out of the
undertaking, except in the indirect way
that whatever benefits the city ct large
must benefit those who have substantial
property and business interests therein.
The corporators propose that this railway
whom built shall be transferred 10 the
city OF Philadelphia iu trust FOR use on
equal terms 10y all railroad lines that no
enter or may hereafter enter the city. Il
gives one good ides of the expansive.
ness OF our big neighborhood to read
that the length Of this bslt railroad, fol-
lowing the river front, from the
Atlantic refinery in the Twenty-sixth
ward to Taeony in the Twenty-third wa.d
is Is miles. The Record, whose owner,
Mr. Singerly, is one Of the lending
spirits in this improvement, says; "It
will not be necessary to wait Ave years
for this line, until Delaware avenue shall
have been widened and the harbor i'm
proved. At the present time there is
room for IN additional track on the
busiest part OF this thoroughtare, and
for four tracks over Is miles Of the
