Bayards speech in Wilmington Tuesday
evening" I'VE heartily reciprocate Mr.
Bayard's expressions Of good will. We
may count 1t as good fortune to have
pleased the ambassador. because he
is one of those ministers whose main
purpose is to promote friendship and
nothing else between the nations. A
cordial British welcome always is assured
diplomats who, like Mr.. BayRrd, Mr.
Lowell, M Washington and Baron de
Coureel come avowedly to promote
brotherhood and smooth away misnnder
standings rather than aggravate them
by false conceptions OF the dignity and
honor of nations Speeches like M
Bayard's, even although surcharged with

OF true diplomacy is to promote peace by

NEW CASTLE, Oct. 20 The recent
light. honse.ohanges along the Delaware
river, many of which have been an.
nounced in the EVENING JOURNAL, have
made the magnificent stream the best
lighted river in the world Including
the light houses at Cape May and Caps

miles from the Breakwater TO the month
of the Schuylkili forty one lights and two
gas buoys The different ranges and
stationary lights are closely connected,
and new feature has been introduced
in the twinkle or blink lights which
guard the pilots against confusion.
In an editorial on the Delsware's pros
poets for becoming the chief commercial
stream Of the new world, the Philadel-
phia Record says:
The difference between food tide and
slack water st the mouth OF the Della
ware is an interval OF about six hours
aud twelve minutes. High water reaches
Philadelphia fully seven and one-half
hours ahead Of the trough Of the ehb
tide The velocity OF the crest Of the
high tide is about eighteen miles an honr
The slope Of the water surface varies,
therefore, from six tenths 20 seven
tenths of an inch for every mile
of river. The area Of the tidal
basin inside Of the capes rs
about 500 square miles,. while
the area Of the basin around Philadel-
phis is only about 10 square miles, or as

of water pass through our harbor with

cubic feet with each Il BOD tide. Nearly
245, coo, 600 tons OF water thus pass BY
the city twice during each twenty-four

currents there can be no doubt that an

been secured when the present improve

An imperial decree was published here
to-day IN the army orders, commanding
lourteen days of mourning throughout the
army and three weeks mourning for the
Emperor Alexander Regiment of the guard
and for the first UhIan Regiment, of
which the Emperor was honorary colonel.
The decree also commands that during the
nrSt three days of mourning none of the
military bands are 10 play.
Ihe decree proceeds as follows: "The
army Will thus testify that it shares the
deep sorrow felt for my true friend. the
most sincere protector of European peace.
and that 1t ever remembers gratefully the
good Will always manifested toward the
army by the departed Emperor
his Majesty further directs that deputa-
tons from the two regiments previously
indicated, in addition to deputation from
the Eighth Hussars, attend the funeral OF
the Gar. A similar decree is published in
the naval orders, directing the naval Off
GERS to wear mourning for three weeks and
ordering the commanders of warships to
display mourning flags for one day and TO
tlre salute shortly before noon on the day
OF the funeral. The Emperor also directs
that the bands of the waTShips are not 10
play for three days. Russian flags are fly
ing at half-mast on the royal castle in this
city and at Potsdam and all over the State
buildings, as we'll as over the Russian en-
bassy. At the Russian church two ser
vices daily will be held for the Russian
colony until the funeral shall have taken
place 1t is expected that Emperor Will
liam will attend the mass service at the
Russian embassy. The colors of the Alex
ander regiment will be takeu to the en-
bassy during the service.
Regarding the importance of the religious
question in Russia, the following remark.
attributed TO Nicholas II is especially in
teresting:
Il am pious Christian, but my belief
in the Savior does not entitle me to perse-
cute others on account o: their faith"
This remark, if authentic, would indi-
cate the Cars intention 10 lring the
regime OF the procnrator-genera of the
holy synod, Pobiedon Ostztff, 10 speedy
end. Such development of the religious
question, il is almost needless to say.

LOST IF The PIT.
Money That Went to Buy Typo

PITTSBURG. Nov. 3.-The failure of
George NJ. Irwin & Co.. the extensive dis
cretiOnary pool operators, has spread con-
sternation among the depositors. and the
Offices of the firm were besieged all day by
ANXIOUS crowds of investors clamoring for
their money, but there was nobody to hear
their complaints. except the clerks, who
left the offices early. 1t is thought that
the estimate CT S2.OOo.O as the amount
on deposit with Irwin is a great exaggera-
tioD, but a conservative estimate would
place it at SSO0,O0O Nearly S., 600, 900 was
paid out during The run On the firm, over
$3.50, Coo was lost In the forced sale of
wheat, and nearly 100000 was lost in
bucket-shop sales at the same time. Irwin
usually played the short SIDE of the wheat
pit until recently. when he bought extern
slvely. He was a great plunger and often
sold from 100000 to 100000 bushels at a
time. As mem ber of the Chicago Board of
Trade he won and lost several fortunes. He
came to Pittsburg broken down in health
and financially and opened a brokerage
business. He drifted into cooperative
speculation and for two years held the
field alone. But last May mushroom
shops began to spring up until there were
eighteen in operation here. The operators
OF the other pools are greatly depressed
bv Irwin's failure and the fact that the
Chamber of Commerce has taken steps
toward prosecuting all the poolroom
operators. The police are working with
tile Chamber Of Commerce and are ready
TO act as soon as informatons are made.
The collapse of Irwin will cause much
suffering in every section of the city.
Hundreds of skilled workmen have in
vested their savings in these pools and
the smash leaves them in very bad shape

PORT ARTHUR FALLEN
Japanese Thought to Be in

WASHINGTON. Nov. 3-The japanese

from the japanese Government:
''The first army under Marshal Yama-

AS the press dispatches frequently pre-
cede official advices, it is regarded as pos
sible that Port Arthur has in reality
falleh. and the above dispa ch was written
before the event occurred. King Chow
and Tia Len Wal are the outworks at Port

NO HOPE FOR HILL.
Cleveland Regards Him Simply as a
Political RENEGADE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3-Democratic pol
iticians in this city generally regard the
statement given out by Senator Faulkner
as to the Presidents views upon the DOlitl-
cal situatio as studiously and carefully
prepared to avoid direct or indirect refer
ence to New Y ork. Inbedded midway in
the statement is negative pOinT, so easily
di scernible and so translucent that it over
shadows everything else.
I'VE all recognize the fact that he (Mr.
Cleveland) had hoped for the passage Of a
revenue measure more in accordance with
his views of the pledges of the party in its
declaration at Chicago" says Mr.. Faulk-
ner
In view of the well-known fact that the
President holds Senator Hill more re-
sponsible than any other individual for
the miscarriage of tariff legislation, this
sentence can scarcely be interpreted 9TH
erwise than as denunciation rather than
an Endorsement of Hill. The statement
does not contain the slightest reference to
New York. or to any elections save those
in Congressional districts. The Demo
Gratis here are generally disappointed, and
the friends of Senator Hill are disgusted.
The last hope has been abandoned that
any assistance will be rendered the party
in New York, or even that an appeal will
be made for harmony.
Some go so far as to claim that the state
ment is practically confirmation Of the
assertion heretofore made Oh the authority
of Cabinet officer that the President
simply regards Mr.. Hill as political rene
gade, not entitled to recognition as Demo-
crat and unworthy the moral support of
those who believe in party consistency and
fealty.
