Speaker Reed and his cohortsI are alarmed at the silver situation, and 1t Is given out that Reed has passed the word to the chairman of the committee on ter ritories that the bill admitting Arizona. New Mexico and Oklahoma into the pn- ion as states must not be favorably re ported to the house this session. He is opposed to the admission of these terri tories on the ground that their admission would give the silver men six more votes in the senate, and. perhaps that many more votes in the house. For this reason it is extremely doubtful If any of the ter ritorial bills are reported to the house this session

BERLIN, Jan. ga funeral service
was held over the remains of Mr.. Theo-

United States to Germany, at his late
residence, yesterday afternoon. Only
the family and the officials of the en-
bassy were present. The official funer-

ambassador, M. j. Herbette, will act
as doyen of the diplomatic corps, and
the foreign Office will be largely repre-
sented.
The .Reichsanzieger pays a warm
tribute to the memory of Mr.. Runyon,
in the course of which it says: 1.-THE
imperial government sincerely regrets
the decease of this prominent states
man, whose efforts were directed sue
cessfully to promoting and cultivating
good relations between Germany and
the United States, and who understood
how to win the veneration and respect
of all who came in contact with him,

the guns now mounted at Savannah,

are smooth bores of obsolete patterns
and useless and are mounted on rotten
carriages. The only places where pro-
vision has been made for any consid-
cradle defense are New York, San
Francisco and Boston, and defenses at
these places are entirely inadequate
and insufficient. He said that
our cities are open to attack by any
country having a large navy and that
it would take years to create the neces-
sary arrangement He estimated that
the entire cost of coast defenses for
adequate protection of the country at
about $50, 600. 900 for Notifications and
guns. This would not include the cost
of ammunition and projectiles.

Plain Hands.

If plea for plain hands could be
written in letters of gold it could not at
tract too much attention. Why will sem
sible women, who show refined good
taste in many other ways, make jewelry
shops of their hands? When the wear
er's husband is in the business it is even
worse, for then the custom has a dash
of ''shop" about it. Some women hide
the pretty curves of their hands with
six or eight large rings crowded on two
fingers. Where one is SO fortunate as
to own a handsome collection, the wear
ing of one or two at time has touch
of novelty and modesty. But it is truly
refreshing to see a young lady with
shapely hands, or even ordinary ones,
given good care, which are conspicuous
for the absence of snowy adornments.-
