George w. c. Ferris. known throughout
the world for his daring invention and
construction of the great Ferris wheel
at the Chicago Worlds fair, are still
held at the crematory of Undertaken
Samson in this city for the unpaid fu-
neral expenses contracted over year
ago. Mr.. Ferris was practically penni-
less at his death. but carried insurance
to the amount of $4,000. This. 1t is
said, is more than eaten up by the nu-
rnerous claims left.

VICTIMS OF THE EXPLOSION.
Plot of Ground Secured at Key West
Where Some Will He Inferred.


Washington, March 1.-Commander
Forsyth. at Key West, telegraphs that
he had in execution of the departments
order, secured plot of ground in the
cemetery at Key West In which will
be inferred the remains of such OF the
victims bodies as are brought from Ha-
vana. Admiral Sicard personally will
look after the funeral arrangements. 1t
is learned that the Spanish officials at
Havana have consented to the removal
of any bodies hereafter recovered, a
formality made necessary by the fact
that the Cuban law does not permit
such removals from fear OF extending
contagion. 1t is undertood that the re-
mains are not to be permanently in
TERED at Key West. and this under
standing gives great deal OF satisfac-
ton to the naval officials here who
have had trouble in times past In main
tanning the graves of sailors In proper
condition, owing to the infiltration or
large quantities of water into the
graves through the porus and low-ly-
ing coral strands. AS the remains are
inclosed in Theoretically sealed zinc
cases. IL is not believed that they will
suffer during their brief interment at
Key West.
Letters are reaching the navy de-
partment from all parts of the country
from alleged relatives OF the victims,
and II appears that in numerous cases
there are many claimants for the small
sums Of money or property that belong
| to the dead men. II will be the duty OF
! the department to try to adjust these
claims and reconcile conflicts and every
effort is being made by the officials to
do this as speedily as possibly consist
ent with the requirements of the stat
utes. 1t can be stated authoritatively
| that the navy department has received
nothing to Indicate the cause of the ex-
plosion and that reports that II has been
| advised of II by external agencies are
without foundation. Captain Sigsbee
| has telegraphed that two more dead
| bodies were recovered. One was un-
recognizable, but the other was identi-
| fed as that of ]. w. johnson. The
captain also announced the death In the
hospital at Havana of poor Holzer, VINO
made such a gallant struggle for life.

commendable in every way, tho dioce-
san order Of Bishop Elisha Capers OF
South Carolina requesting the clergy
and ministers in general of the state to
preach against the crime OF murder on
Sunday, Dec. 10. The bishop declares
that the sign Of murder is upon the
state, and he asks the preachers to use
their power to wipe it out and cause the
bloody crime of homicide to cease in
South Carolina, where there have been
400 slayings during the year. The bish-
Op further earnestly enjoins it on min
listers to arouse public sentiment to q
higher and nobler estimate of human
life. This Is something which fits not
only South Carolina, but every state in
the Union. The increase of homicide in
all the states is alarming. II Ia emf
nently fitting that Christian ministers
Of all denominations should unite In
arousing public sentiment to a sense Of
the sacredness of human life. The Chris
tian church can engage in no nobler
work than this. and the need of it is
crying. The frequency of murders is
appalling. .

A Severe Check to Observation-Disclosures
Nations

Washington, January 4.-The cause OF
arbitration in the settlement of claims be-
tween nations has received a severe
check in the award by the arbitrator in
the case of O'Berlander and Messenger,
who claimed $4,000 and s25, 900, respec-
lively, for ill-treatment by the Mexican
authorities. The arbitrator was the Ar
gentine minister at Madrid, Senior Cues
ada, and his decision was in favor of the
Mexican government and against the
American claimants. The discouraging
feature of the decision is that in making
the decision the arbitrator apparently
overlooked every point Of law, according
to the English standards, and decided
the case with reference to his sympa-
thies. 1t is said that a. more eXtraordi-
nary opinion than this from a legal point
of view was never seen at the state de-
partment. O'Berlander was a deputy
sheriff of California and he was kid
mapped and taken across the border by
Mexican officers. Mrs. Messenger, in
whose house he had taken refuge, was
ill-treated. When it came to rendering
his decision, the arbitrator, it is said,
ignored the facts and reasoned that be-
cause the United States government had
not recognized the rights of the Chinese
Of Chinese at Rock Springs, Wyoming,
while insisting upon indemnity for losses
sustained by American missionaries in
China, We could not expect to have an
indemnity awarded our citizens in such
cases as this. This peculiar lack of legal
perception is said at the department to
be almost without a parallel in the his
tory of arbitratiOnS and has undoubtedly
done much to prevent the submission OF
other claims to arbitration unless it can
first be known that the arbitrator is ia
mlllar with the principles of common law
according to the English standards.
