BURIAL OF MAINE VICTIMS.
Each Casket to be Covered with :.
American Flag.

Washington, d: c., Dec. 16.-The re-
mains of the Maine victims will be
brought by a special train directly from
Fort Monroe to Arlington. They will
be carried through Gen. Sheridan's gate
and placed in hospital tents pending the
burial services, each casket covered with
an American flag.
1t is expected that the President, mem
bers of the cabinet, most of the army
and naval officers in Washington and q
large number of persons will be present
at Arlington when the final interment
takes place, probably the last week in
December.
1t will be a great disappointment to
the relatives and friends of those victims
Of the Maine explosion whose remains
were to be inferred privately at their
late homes, to learn that the comptrol-
Ter of the treasury has decided that there
is no authority under the law for the gov
eminent to pay the expenses Of such in
terment where it takes place outside of
Arlington. All the government can do
is to transport the remains to the point
designated by the relatives, leaving them
to bear the expenses of a funeral.

BROOKLYN IN FIRST.
But the New Orleans Has Five
More Days and May Win
Race to Manila.

Washington, D. c., Dee. 16.-The
Brooklyn arrived at Manila today, win
ming easily the long race from this coun-
try out which she has been running with
the New Orleans. The New Orleans
sailed from Singapore today for Manila,
SO that she is about four days behind
the Brooklyn.
While the Brooklyn is now about four
OF five days ahead of the New Orleans,
it is pointed out at the navy department
that unless something befalls the New
Orleans before she reaches Manila from
Singapore, she will actually have made
the trip from the United States to Ma
Mia in the same or even less time than
the larger cruiser. The Brooklyn sailed
from Fortress Monroe on her long voy-
age October is, and it was FIVE days
later, October p, when the New Orleans
got away from New York, SO that the
elapsed time occupied in the voyage, al
lowing the New Orleans five days to
make the run from Singapore to Manila,
will be about the same in each case.

state of war exists in South Africa and
according belligerent rights to the Trans

Mr.. SulZer said of the resolution
my sympathy is with the heroic Beers.
They are making q brave and gallant

Opinions Differ Somewhat as to the
Stupefying Effects of Alcohol.

The world of theory and practice is
still in doubt on the question-What
makes man drunk? The answer Of
the frivolous would be whisky" or it's
allies. But what we want to know is
whether the action of alcohol ON the
walls of the stomach or it's fumes on the
upper interior regions Of the body is re-
ssponsible for the state of coma that fol-
lows too frequent drumming.
Navy officers in China acquired last
ing reputation as drinkers by taking sur
reptltiously tablespoonful of oil before
starting on drinking bout. The explana-
ton has been made that the OIL floating
on top Of the liquor, prevented the fumes
from rising and causing drunkenness.
Can this be true? An old FOUNDER in
this city, who has drunk half the club
men in town under the table, says, give
him bowl Of nuts and let him crack
and eat one or two after each dram and
he will resist all the liquor influence that
can be thrown at him.
Once a woman who had never touched
liquor got absolutely and helplessly
drunk while leaning over the stove STIR
ring watermelon rind preserves. This
led her husband to distill a brandy from
the rind that excels any three ctars in
the market.-New York Press.
