PARIS DURING THE NEXT SIEGE.
Preparations to Thwars the Future Ea-

Preparations to Thwars the Future Ef-
forts Of t:.e German Army.
Tho French ere agcin discussing the
provisioning Of Paris in case Of war,
and the Germans in response are con-
sfdering the best means of preventing
such provisioning. In the last war
Paris had some ], 800, 600 persons with
in her walls. Now this number would
DO about 1900, 1000. In the siege S52,-
361 hundredwcights of flour were used,
although after Dec. Is, 1870, the flour
contents of bread was only Is per cent,
of the whole.
The $4,000 oxen, $50, 600 sheep and
5000 swino in store lasted thirty-cisht
days, after which the food consisted
mostly of IS, coo horses and great guam
titles of eggs. potatoes, preserves and
fruits. Tho coal famine was one of
the most painful features of the siege.
The necessity of bringing together even
the insufficient provisions quickly and
at all hazards cost the French govern
1nent and the city at least $50, 900, 900
more than would have been required
under ordinary circumstances. CouA
all the wants and experienced i2con-
veniences DO obviated in case of IN
other ware
As matters stand at present, french
military authorities say they could not.
For tho carrying and distribution of
bread and Goals CLONE Sd, 900 cars would
be necessary. At tho time of mobili-
zation it would be impossible to find
men enough to load and unload the
cars, to say nothing of the original diff
fculty of getting the materials. Food
from Russia must come through the
Mediterranean, and could be cut off by
the Italian and Austrian navies.
America and England are the only
remaining sources of supply. Were
England SO disposed she could stop
both almost instantly. Were she neu-
trail the German ships could pass with
out difficulty through the channel and
intercept tnportations Only in the
hardly sapposititioas case that England
was an ally Of France would the pro-
visioning of the capital be possible,
even if the sources flowed never so
freely. These calculations of the Ger
mans presuppose considerable enlci-
ency of the German navy, which they
are striving to attain with I'll possible
speed.-Philadclphia Telegraph.

these signs of sorrow multiplied, more and
more impressed with the great love the
people bore for their lost one. During the
run Of thirty-three miles from Newark to
Columbus lunch was served in the dining
car. Columbus was reached at 2::26. Father
Thomas E.. Sherman said that he would
conduct the services at his fathers grave
in Calvary cemetery, st. Louis. Just what
the order OF services will be he could not
say until he arrived there. AS the train
rolled into the union station at Columbus
the space on either side was crowded with
people and for squares away there
was a solid mass struggling to get
a view of the train. Mccoy post
and Wells G. A. r., with a drum corps
were IN The station. There was no
demonstration, but the people busted them
selves %endeavOring to get a view of the
casket through the open doors. The Ohio
militia went to st. Louis on special trains
before the arrival of the funeral train. A
wait of fOrty-five minutes was given the
funeral train at Columbus, during which
there was a crowd of about 10000 people
in the vicinity, a majority of whom could
only secure a glimpse of the train at a
distance, owing to the blockade. The en-
CINE was deliberately draped and decor
ated. Above the headlight was q large
size a portrait of General Sherman
surmounted by an eagle with spread
wings. and beneath the picture was the in
scription, "OhiO's Son, the Nations Hero
in large, plain letters. The ratings Of the
engine were studded with small flags with
fringe drapery. The train pulled out on
time-3:l5 p. M.

h SLEET STORM.

Great Damage Done to Telegraph Wires
Throughout the Northwestern States.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2O.-The sleet storm of
last night was the most serious in It's eff
fects on telegraph communication that has
been experienced for years. This morning
nearly every train dispatcher's office in the
city was silent and trains in every direc-
ton were making, their way through the
fog as best as they could without running
orders. Fortunately no serious accidents
occurred. Later in the day when the sleet
melted and fell from the wires linemen
were enabled to repair the damages and
communication was established for short
distances. The most serious damage to
the lines. however, was at the more distant
points. Beyond the Mississippi river the
lines running through Iowa and South Da-
kota suffered most heavily. The storm
was very severe and the poles and wires
went down together over long stretches.
Towards the southwest, south and east
the same condition of things prevailed.
The wires were reported down. 1t was
practically a clean sweep. At the Offices
of the Western Union it was said that the
company had suffered more than at any
time since 1883. This morning the only
communication was nOrthward. Not only
the wires, but many of the poles were
down. Large forces Of linemen were sent
out, and, after some time, a Quadruplex
communication with the rest of the world
was gradually opened up in a precarious
sort OF a way. The Postal company was
in much the same condition. The signal
service predicts that to. morrow will be
much colder, with snow.
