Forty thousand people followed al

to the grave, both houses Of congress adj
journed upon hearing the news of his
death, and a guard of honor accompa

Bellefontaine cemetery, ST. Louis, and
is one of row of nine graves, all mark

Driftwood Petc's streak Of Luck,

While splitting wood near his boat house
al the foot of Loughborough avenue yes
teTday afternoon, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. "Drif0wood Pete" made lucky
stroke of the AK which put h m in posses
sion of nearly 500 in gold. He was pound
ing away at the holloY log, when the AK
cut through and struck some metallic sub
stance, which proved TO an iron pot tight
sealed. With eager haste he broke the
top. and to his delight gold coin came
rolling out Upon counting the coins the
amounted to $500. The pot had been in
cased in the log APPARENTLY for a great
number OF years, and Il is thought to have
been hidden in the tree during the war.
Where the tree came from viii probably
never be known. 1t had been felled some
whore up the river, and drifted along with
the current to yield its treasure to Drift
wood Pete" "Driftwcod Pete" has earned
a livelihood al his life by catching drift
wood and other floating articles on the
Mississippi river during the summer
months. II was several months ago that
he caught the log which contained the
pot Of geld, and it has lain near his cabin
ever since until yesterday when he started
to split ii UP for frewood.

miral Ting's body arrived in Tien Tsin the

joke has been played upon somebody. If,
as has been alleged, Ting didn't commit
suicide after all. and smuggled in a sub
stitute corpse, the joke is on the emperor.
If. however, the facts are as they were
first reported, then the laugh is on Ting.

Re.ter Times Ahead.

There are unmistalSable signs Of bust
ness Improvement in the east and the
south. The tendency toward better times
is positive. but gradual Many business
men. however. stfl talk despondently be
cause they expected that after the ad-
journment of congress there would be
a business boom They expected too
much. Il is true the export OF gold has
ceased. and, congress. with its financial
vargaries. is numbered with the things
OF the past. but because the way has
been opened for better times it doesn't
follow that better times will come st
once. They will come slowly and almost
imperceptibly.
There has been a noticeable rise in the
prices OF cotton and wheat and there
is a much stronger feeling of confidence
among business men that a period of
great prosperity is not very far off.
In this city there is a quite healthy
condition OF affairs. The i'll feeling grow
ing out of fractional fights and exciting
elections is rapidly disappearing. It Will
not be long before those who were ar
rayed against each other in the political
arena VIII be working together earnestly
for the prosperity Of the city and county
Indeed. they are already joining hands
and planning for the development of the
resources OF the city and county Schemes
for better roads and drainage for the
county and for securing manufacturing
plants are being given very careful CON
sideration by committees to which these
matters have been intrusted.
This willingness to work together for
the common good is having very bene-
fetal effect and is certain to aid greatly
in bringing about better times. When the
conditions are favorable nothing contrib
utes more to the prosperity of commun-
ity than the united action of its people in
behalf of those things upon which the
general welfare largely depends.
Among the signs of local improvement
are the number of new houses that are
being built and the increase in the de-
mand for estimates for houses. Recently
there has been a noticeable increase in
the inquiry for hrst-class property either
improved or unimproved. and an increased
demand for money for business purposes.
Taking everything into consideration
there are many reasons why the people
Of Savannah should regard business
prospects for the future with feelings
akin to satisfaction.

The use of electricity as motive power
on long distance railway lines for heavy
traffic will probably be brought about by
the old steam roads themselves before a
great many years; new parallel lines will
hardly be built in many instances. The
New York. New Haven and Hartford
road has equipped several of it's short
branches with electricity. and it is said
the management has in view the ultimate
use of electricity on its main line. The
Pennsylvania railroad. coo, is changing
the motive power of some of its branches
TO electricity A Pittsburg telegram says
electricity is to be tried on local trains
running from Louisville to New Albany,
and that If the test proves satisfactory
the new motor will be put into service at
moving accommodation trains on other
parts Of the system. When such great
systems as the two mentioned take up
electricity as a motor for heavy trains il
is pretty good evidence that the day Of
the new order OF things IN railroading is
pretty near al hand.

Nohodv,s Congress.
From the Baltimore Sun dem.

The present party division of the gov

The administration is democratic, the
House of Representatives is republican and
no party has a majority in the Senate.
For two years to come neither party will
be held responsible for any effective leg
islation. The Senate has a republican plu-
ralty. but the populists hold the balance
of power. which they can transfer to the
republican or democratic side as pleases
them

The New Orlenas newspapers are en-
deavoring to revive the military spirit
among young men of that city and to
create a sentiment throughout the state
favorable to the military. The absolute
necessity of an efficient military organi-
zation has been several times recently
illustrated there; Notwithstanding which
the military force in New Orleans has
dwindled to four battalions ana one sep
aratc company. numbering all told less
than 700 men. Only few years ago the
strength of the National Guard in New
Orleans was several thousand men. The
niggardliness of the legislative appro.
priations seems to be regarded as a lead
ing cause for the falling off in the militia.

zone of the best proofs that I did not

man, in reply to the Spanish version of
the Alliance affair. lis the fact that the
Spanish ship fired at me-" In which
statement the captain himself gave odd
glory a handful of dirt by intimating
that the spaniard had little or no respect
for it, while he held the British flag al
most in reverence. According to our dis
patches this morning, it seems that the
Spaniards are not so much afraid Of the
British lion as Capt. Crossman imag-
ines, for it appears that they have actu-
ally fired upon the British flag. How
ever, and along the line of Capt Cross
mans theory, the Spaniards may attempt
TO explain by saying they mistook the
British for the American flag.
