certain that he and his party of disruption
would be returned with large majority. but
there IS very little probability of parliament

so that the next general election will not
take place till the spring of 1893, but if things
go on IN England as they are going on now
the radicals will return to power, The late
strikes have alarmed thinking men and those
who have paid little attention to passing
events were frightened by the power shown,
especially by the dockmens strike. The gas
stOkers have been unsuccessful in their
strike, but they had not the sympathy OF the
people, and, besides, had to fight Mr.. Livesey.''

The River Mystery Not Solved Yet.

Just in the rear of Shepherds landing where
the eoiored men saw the floating body of a
white woman Monday evening, as stated in
The STAR,-is large cove where Oxon run
empties into the Potomac. The water in this
cove Is very shallow. When the body of the
woman was last seen it was floating in the
direction of this cove. A heavy northwest
wind was blowing at the time and it is the
opinion of the officers of the police boat that
the body must have washed IN the direction of
the shore and not down the river. The officers
spent all day yesterday dragging for the body
without success. They have not yet abandoned
the search and will go down as far as Fort
Washington and make thorough examination
OF the shores and flats and will also drag Broad
creek. The question Whose body is it? is still
unanswered. No one has yet been reported
missing from this city or the adjacent country.

with the recommendation that the electric
lights be removed. Mr.. Ross told STAR re-
porter this morning that in his opinion the
gas made a more satisfactory light for such

A STRANGE LAND.
Features of Australia--FIOwers With
out OdOr-No Shade.
From the Boston journal.


Australia is a country in which nature has
established conditions unknown elsewhere,
and where civilization must adapt itself to sur
roundlngs which it finds novel and strange. II
is country full of absurdities in animal, vege-
tai lie and human life. Its native race, in point
of intelligence and development of resources,
is far below even the cave jewellers and the
people Of the stone age of Europe. Its ami
mails perpetuate types which disappeared from
every other part of the globe some millions of
years ago. Its trees and plants are represent
alive OF species found elsewhere only in chalk
and coal measures.
Hardly anything here has the character and
quality OF its relations in other lands. Al
though the trees and flowers are chiefly those
of the temperate zone, the birds are, for the
most part, OF the tropics, and flash the gorgeous
colors of the parrot and the cockatoo through
the dull foliage of the sad-toned eucalyptus.
The birds have no song, and such notes as they
possess seem like weird echoes from a period
when reptiles were assuming wings and filling
the tree tops with a strange jargon, before
heard only in the swamps and fens. The flow
ers have no scent, while the leaves Of every
tree are full of odor. The trees cast no shade,
since every leaf is set at edge against the sun,
aud shed, not their leaves, but their bark,
which, stripping off in long scales, exposes the
naked wood beneath, and adds to the ghostly
effect which the forest already holds in the
pallid hues of Its foliage. The contour of the
country is Of one that is but newly risen from
the waves Its thousands and thousands of
square miles, level as table and set with no
other growth than the gray eucalyptus, looks
like the uplifted bed Of some great sea, and is
as monotonous as the unrelieved expanse of
ocean ITSELF Here and there are low hills,
which show in their sides and in the country
about them the evidences Of ancient lava flows
Elsewhere are piled up masses Of powders,
which show the long-ago courses Of glaciers
over the face of the land. Everything seems
prehistoric, hoary with age and forgotten. To
the traveller from other lands an impression
comes that he is visiting a country which had
ceased in its development long cons ago.

Who Is the Richest Man?

New York Correspondence Baltimore American.
A discussion of that well-worn topic, Who d
the richest man living? has been aroused by the
death Of Mr.. Havemeyer, himself regarded as
very wealthy citizen and worth something
like ten millions. Mr.. John ID. Rockefeller,
the Standard oil magnate, now comes forward
claiming the honors According to estimates
made from the inside he is worth Sl29 OO0 600
some twenty millions more than the estimated
wealth Of Jay Gould The Vanderbilt millions
have been SO divided among heirs that no one
of them is worth hundred millions. while the
Aston estate has also been distributed in the
same way. This leaves Mr.. Rockefeller richer,
perhaps, than any other single New Yorker,
and doubtless the richest man in America
Leaving room for exaggeration, which usually
accompanies the estimates of fortunes, this
single citizen is probably the possessor of a
fortune of at least one hundred millions, liable
to the fluctuations in the value of his securities
Gould's fortune, which is, perhaps, very near
this sum, 10 20 tied up that any attempt to real
ize on il must cause a shrinkage. Much of his
fortune is in railroad stocks, which he must
own in order to control the roads. and these
are, Of course, liable TO great depreciation in
value should he attempt to sell out at short mo-
tice. All OF these enormous fortunes have
been accumulated in the span of a single life.
Years ago few people ever heard OF Mr. Rocks-
Teller, today the wealthiest American living
