removals are still going on, and it is
thought that before halt is called at
least 5000 employees on the eight lines
composing the system will have been
dismissed. No reports have been re-
ceived at the general Office showing the
number of men let out as yet, and no
accurate figures will be obtainable for
several days. Regarding the removals
now being made on the Rock Island, Gen
eral Manager E. st. John said: "We are
cutting down to reduce expenses. There
is nothing new about this. All roads
running west are doing the same thing.
This idea of retrenchment will not be
carried to a point that will interfere
with the efficiency of the service, and
its adoption is made advisable because
the tonnage of our road was reduced
last year by poor crops along the line"

[Gen. Palmer is 70 years old, but has all the
physical vigor of a strong man of 80. He has
been closely identified with Illinois politics
for forty years, having been a leader In both
parties. and by each given all the honors 10
had to bestow. Up to the opening of the war
Palmer was a democrat, but had never held
office. He went into the war as a colonel
and came out @ major general After the
war he affiliated with the repub-
lican party, and in 1868 he was elect
ed governor. When the great Chicago
fire occurred, Gen. Sheridan, who was then
stationed in that city, without consulting
the governor, took 1t upon himself to guard
the city. Col. Grosvenor, a veteran and
well known citizen, was shot and killed by
a sentry because he did not answer a chal-
lenge promptly! Then Gov. Palmer in
formed Gen. Sheridan that when the state
needed the assistance of the United States
government it would ask for it through its
proper representatives. He also tcle-
graphed President Grant that IL the
federal troops were not at once with
drawn from Chicago, he would call out tho
state militia and drive them out. The gov
ernor being clearly in the right the presi-
dent instructed Gen. Sheridan TO take away
his soldiers and the state policed the city.
In 1872 Gen. Palmers term as governor
ended, and about that time he ceased all
connection with the republican party, and
soon after openly rejoined the democrats.
Since then, while always active in the
councils of that organization, he was little
seen in public life, quietly practicing
law in Springfield until 1888, when he
democrats nominated him for governor.
During that camgaign he made speeches in
every county in the state. He was beaten by
Gov. Fifer. but by only II, 900 votes, President
Harrison receiving majority of over % 900.
Last year he nominated at the demo-
cratic state convention for the United States
senate to succeed Senator FarweIl,
the idea being that such a nomination
came as close to electing a senator by
popular vote of the people as can be gotten at
under existing laws The general again
took the stump as candidate for his party,
and canvassed the state, as he did three
years ago when running for governor. In a
conference with the representatives of the
K. nj. ID. A. he said although his health was
admirable he had nearly reached the limit
of political activity, and would regard his
election to the United States senate as a

A STORMY PASSAGE.
A Risky Trip Across the English Channel
Described.


Described.
LONDON, March 12.-Capt. Shirley,
of the club-train boat running between
Calais and Dover gives an interesting
description of his voyage across the
channel during the tremendous storm
of last Monday night. The steamer
left Dover nine hours late with but a
few of the twenty-one passengers who
had engaged passage on board. Among
those who decided to await at Dover
the abatement of the storm was the
Duchess of Edinburgh. A terrible
storm of wind and snow prevailed
throughout the voyage, and the cap
tain was compelled to take repeated
soundings. Great seas continually
swept over the vessel. Continuing
his narrative, Capt. Shirley says: 81
guessed we had arrived at Calais after
two hours, but was unable to see the
lights, and, therefore, anchored with
two cables, luckily on sandy bottom.
The engines were kept revolving
slowly to prevent dragging the anchor"
The captain speaks highly of the
fortitude of such lady passengers as
were on board during the long passage
of twelve hours and declares the night
to have been the worst he has ever
known. He marvels that his steamer
did not founder

it, and, taking it in his arms,
proceeded toward the river. The box
was found on the ice in the river. Scat

quantity of rags to which pieces of flesh
adhered. The belief is that the box
contained body which had been cut
up and sunk in the river. No trace of
