RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.
Shreveport Will Then Get Fast Trans
10 the North.

The long talked of consolidation
of the Iron Mountain, Cotton Belt
and TIP railroads is said by well
posted railroad men well up in the
councils TO be an assured fact and
will be consummated January ].
The principal advantage to be
gained by Shreveport will be the
running of the fast north and east
ern trains through this city instead
of Texarkana, as is now the case.
This, it is said, will be accomp
lished by the construction of TWEEN
ty miles of road from Hope, Ark, to
Lewisyllle, Ark, thus connecting
the Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt

Big Indian Heap.

Yesterday afternoon the improv-
ed order of Red Men of this city,
gave their first parade, There were
some sixteen or twenty men in line,
mounted on ponies and formed in
single Gle. Their garb was quite
'Indiany" consisting of colored
calico leggins, calico blOwses fasten,
ed with belt, and head piece OF
eagle feathers. Red paint had
been used on their faces until thei1
own mothers would not have known
them.
Deputy Grand Incohene Adlun
led the file and Big Chief Sam NJ
Hardin was in the centre.
Each warrior was armed with dr
Indian club, bow or knife and they
looked as if they were on the wa
path after some pale face.
They paraded the principa
streets of the city, and those peo
pie who saw them and did no
know that such an order existed
especially in this city, thought tha'
a predatory band of Choctaws haC
swooped down upon our city auc
was going to do the scalping act
and many of the timid locked thei
doors and peered through the win
dows, at the strange looking pro
session as they moved slowly along
the streets. We are glad t.

tirely unnecessary. This war SO fan

Claims Made by the Boston Pilot anu
American Hebrew

The fighting race is, naturally, fig
uring conspicuously in the war, and
while its members are not filling many
high positions, they are to be founc
at the humble but no less honorable
posts of danger, as events testify The
man who fired the first shot in the con-
fiict was an Irishman. Williani
IO'Keefe, a seaman on the Baltimore
was one of the eight men wounded at
Manila. John Denief, fireman, born
in Kilkenny was one of the five sail
ors killed, and Daniel w. McKeown
quartermaster, a native of Newry, was
one of the three wounded on the Wins
low in the fighting off Cardenas, Cuba
William O'Hearn of Brooklyn was one
of the few who escaped unhurt. Mich
ael Murphy, a seaman on the New
York, was one of the seven men In
| iured during the bombardment of Sar
Juan, Porto Rico. John Reagan, q
seaman on the Nashville, was one oil
two sailors who persisted while cutting
the cable at Cienfuegos, and John Do
ran of Fall River, Mass, was one OF
the six wounded 1t will be seen from
the above facts that men with Irish
names form a large proportion of the
killed and injured in the war. The lis,
is one of which their race should be
proud-Boston Pilot

SPANS PLIGHT.

Regardless of the embarrassments
at Washington of conducting naval
war against an enemy whose navy de-
votes all its time to hiding in odd holes
and corners, there is consolation in
the reflection that Spain is slowly, but
surely awakening to the utter hope
lessness of her cause and the certain
destruction of whatever fragments of
national prestige may still have been
hers prior to the opening of HOSTILE
ties.
SPANS political leaders are not all
fools. But most of them are fatalists
and the fatalist is second cousin to
the fool. In this rests the likelihood
of revolution within, which will COM
pIete the disaster thus begun by hope
less war without.
Spain today furnishes a peculiarly
tragic illustration of the awful posi-
bilities OF national illiteracy. Sixty
eight per cent Of her population come
within this category. This IS per
cent have been willfully misled,
! through their blind enthusiasm, as to
the country's resources, preparations
and European support
! The bitter truth is being forced at
last upon the illiterate majority by the
failure OF the nations arms, by the
presence of famine and by the silence
of Europe when appealed to for sue
cor. The people begin to see that the
party leaders invited this war and en-
tered upon it with full knowledge OF
the country's weakness and corrupt
oficialism, but with the fatalist's con-
viction that Europe somehow would
prevent the crushing of monarchy by
Irepublicanism.
| 1t is the realization that they have
been tricked, that their ignorance has
been played upon, which is at the bot
tom of the present domestic agitation
lin Spain, and which will, with .he
next serious defeat of spanish arms
fire the touch OF revolution whose worl
iof devastation will be not less hideou:
than has been the work of the tyran
lin stricken Cuba.
