The Signs Of the Times.

The following telegram was re-
cent Y sent out from Washington:
"Aeerctary Carlisle received quite
a nu mbcr OF offers today for his new

licycs from tic offers already recelv-
ed chat the total offerings will aggre-
gate nearly 100000, 0G0, and that
the price will reach $1.20, making
the bonds practically bear y per
cent interest.
This is a startling statement, and
in it we see tic financial situation
face to face
1t is manifest from this that there
are millions Of capital boarded UP in
this country eagerly waiting for safe
investment at 4 very low rate Of in

much a question Ct profits with them
as it is question OF security. Gov
eminent bonds arc absolutely safe
and, therefore, they are willing to
take snch bonds at . per cent. inter

measure doubtful, because Of The gen
cral doubt Of tlc times.
There is TO lack Of money. The
stringency is due simply to the fact
that it will not circulate.-Richmoad

visional Government is the regular

Will surely DO in the next president

The Provisional Government found
itself Just where Sou;hside Virginia

CHINESE TAILORS.
They VIII Make Suit of Clothes ID Order
for Ten Dollars.

II is wonderful how cheap clothing
is in Japan said traveller recently. L
have recently been in Toxic, Yokohama
and other japanese cities, and found
could buy English made clothing at
a about the same retail prices it brings
in London. The reason of this is that
by treaty with England only five per
cent. duty is charged and the freight
on a large consignment does not ma
terially add to the cost. Clothes made
to order are equally cheap. The
tailoring is done by Chinese by
piece work at prices an Ameri-
can could not make a living at, and II
you are not satisfied with the fit you do
not take it. You can get good BUSH
ness suit of imported cloth made TO or
der for ten dollars A fur-lined over
coat, with beaver collar, can be aad for
thirty dollars. which amount would
not pay for the material in this coun-
try. Ladies cloths. silk and other
dress goods are equally cheap, and en-
broidered silk crepe gowns can &c Oh
tanned cheaper than the eonmonest of
dresses here. Clothing is so cheap that
anybody can save the cost OF the trip

CARRIED IN a GOLDEN HEsRse.
The Body of . japanese Buddhist FELL
lowed by 10000 Mourners-

loved By 10000 Mourners
Orano KoSho, head of the Otani sect
of Japanese Buddhists, died recently,
and his funeral was the occasion Tor a
wonderful outpouring of mourners.
The late leader was in his seventy
sixth year and had since the age Of
eleven been a prominent member IN
his sect. In the course OF his life he
had rendered valuable services 10 the
imperial court, and these were recoT-
nized in 1879 by the emperor, who coz
ferred upon the prelate patent OF no.
bility and a pension. The funeral Of
Orano Kosho was one of the memorable
events of Kyoto. Elaborate prepare
tons had been made for the
ceremony, no expense being spared,
and ten thousand people COM
posed the funeral cortege, which
was reviewed by one hundred and fifty
thousand more. The members of the
Imperial family were present, with
a vast number of high officials The
funeral services began at $3.50 in the
great temple of Kyoto, and the pro-
csssion to the crematory was formed
an hour and a half later, the entire
route being lined by swarms Of people
DESTROYS of paying the last tribute OF
respect to one who was universally
loved. The hearse was made Of wicker
work covered with gold and the jour
ney of two miles occupied over two
hours. The high priest came immedi-
ately behind the hearse, shaded from
the suns rays by an enormous crimson
umbrella borne by attendants. He was
followed by two thousand one hun
dred priests and three hundred AGO
lytes, the lay mourners Of the cortege
coming rex. TO the number OF over
nine thousand. Several stands erected
along the route gave way and hundreds
OF people we're injured. The remains
OF the dead prelate were placed in the
furnace about six o'clock in the even
ing and next afternoon the ashes wers
taken from the receiver and placed in
an urn.

ENID, o. T., July 13.-The adverse decis-
ion Of the Oklahoma supreme court on the
application of the towns of South Enid and
Pond Creek to compel the Rock Island
railroad To build depots and stop trains
has been quickly followed up by an out
rage
At 400 this morning, a mile south of
Enid. the Rock Island bridge was blown
up with dynamite and freight train de-
molished. The engine and couple of
cars had passed safely over when the dyna-
mite exploded, hurting the train from the
track
Thirteen cars were piled in the
ditch and Brakeman Cordy and
Larry Iyoo, tramp, were both
badly injured. The dynamite was
evidently intended for the regular north
bound passenger train from Texas which
reached the scene thirty minutes later and
which, but for the accident Of the freight
blockade caused by the strike, necessitat-
ing the running of extra freight now,
would have been the first train on the
bridge.
The outrage is supposed to be the work
of men concerned iu the bitter i2ht be-
tween the government townsite and the
Rock Island road, which has been waging
=
10 the refusal Of the railroad to stop its
trains at the government town.
AT II O'clock, FasSett, the chief of the
Rock Island comptny's detectives, wired
to Vice President Lowe that he was COM
pslled 20 stand by, powerless, and see 200
citizens Of Pond Greek tearing up the
cOmpany's tracks through the city. In the
crowd were both men and women. The
company had until lasti week kept large
force of guards along the track at POud
Creek and EnId ever since June 6, when
the track WIS before torn up and freight
train wrecked. Only few guards are
now stationed in the places and they are
unable TO do anything.
Nics-PTeslden5 Lowe has notified the
United States authorities of the destruc-
ton of track and has declared that he will
send no more guards TO the infamed
points, but Will expect the government
to hereafter protect the company's prop
erty and deal with the citizens. BY order
of the e vernon an armed troop from
FL Reno in charge OF Deputy United States
Marshal Mudsen, LETT Tor the scene late
this afternoon.
The city is heavily patrolled tonight by
extra police, deputy sherIHS and deputy
United States marshalS. There are no
demonstrations of any kind and it is eX-
pected no further trouble VIII occur to-
night. The wrecking train arrived from
the south with 100 men and timbers to re-
build the bridge. 1t is possible hat trains
viii be running over it by morning.

. ALUMINIUM ALLOY.
Lightness and Strength Make 1t Very Inn
portant Composition.

At a recent meeting of engineers in
New York city some specimens of a
new alloy of aluminium and nickel
were exhibited which were remarka-
bic. Both were in the form of rolled
sheets one-quarter of an inch thick.
In one of these a hole about FIVE
eighths of an inch in diameter had
been drifted out to about two inches
in diameter cold, and the other, which
was strip about three inches wide,
twenty-four inches long, had been bent
at the middle, the detection amount
ing to about two inches. 1t was
stated that the force required
to do this bending had been
about the same as is required to
similarly bend a similar piece of ninety
thousand-pound steel, and when the
specimen was placed upon the floor and
stood upon until Strengthened, it i'm
mediately resumed its former shape up
on being released; in other words, it
seemed to be perfectly elastic within
the limits named. The alloy is of
beautiful white color and of remark
ably light weight. No information
was given as to the proportions of
aluminium and nickel in the alloy, but
it probably contains only small per-
centage of the latter, and so far as
could be judg ed it bids fair to be an i'm
portant alloy in cases where lightRess
and strength are especially desired

Special Dispatch TO the Daily Eagle.
ROUND PoND, o. T., July 10. The ex-
element following the blowing up of a
Rock Island railroad bridge and the
wrecking Of freight train south OF Enid
about daylight this morning, seems to
have inspired some of the more hot-headed
adversaries of the railroad here with a de-
sire to commit a similar act of depreda-
ton. for about II o'clock the railroad
bridge Just north of the corporate limits
was sent skyward by well-planted charges
of dynamite.
The explosion seems to have been expect
ed, for though no one was seen about the
bridge Tor some time prior to the work OF
destruction, and therefore it is not pub
lic!Y known who committed the act, the
first roar Of the explosion was no sooner
heard than loud shouts of applause from
hundreds of throars echoed he sentiments
of the community, and when the second
charge exploded aud IL was uHderSt God
that the other end Of the bridge had been
demolished, congratulations were loud
aud prolonged.
The people of the city are excited and
determined. They have had the utmost
faith IN the supreme court OF the territory
and believed that this power would force
the Rock Island to give Round Pond rail-
road facilities, but when the decree of the
court refusing relief was promulgated last
night, people became desperate and de-
termined TO have depot or TO have no
railroad and these acts of demolition today
are but the commencement of a course it
is proposed TO keep up until the railroad
comes o terms.
The Rock Island officials have asked the
governor for troops to protect Il heir proper

requested the commsndant at Fort Reno
