NO LONGER NEEDED.
Sheriff ut St. Louis Thinks Situation
Has Improved So as to Relieve
Deputies.

ST. Louis. June 19.-There being no
immediate prospect of an honorable
settlement of the street railway strike,
the situation has become more strained
than ever. The Transit officials say
that as far as they are concerned the
strike is over, while the men, backed
by the Federation of Labor. declare
they will fight to the bitter end. The
latter have practically given up their
efforts to secure complete restitution
of the strikers to their old places. De-
spite the large number Of attempts
made Sunday to blow up street cars,
Sheriff Pohlman is of the opinion that
the force of special deputies is no long
er needed and that the police are sutfi-
cient for protection purposes. He has
sent communication to President
Halves, of the police board, on the sub
ject.
The examination of witnesses by
Coroner Lloyd. to establish the respon-
sibility for the shooting Of three strik-
ers on Sunday. June 10. was resumed
Monday.
Chief of Police Campbell has this to
say in regard to the sheriff's letter:
1T is folly at the present time to talk
of withdrawing the sheriff's posse Sum
days acts show conclusively that the
deputies are needed now as much as If not
more than at any time since the strike
began. Even in the daytime we have not
sufficient force to prevent all acts OF
1awlessness. At night the situation is
always worse. AS soon as darkness sets
in fusillade is fired. AS to how long it
will be necessary to keep the sheriff s
posse have no idea. No man can tell"

JAPANESE FUNERALS.
Always Much POmp and Ceremony in
Paying the Last HOnors
to the Dead.

To be buried with pomp and cere-
mony is the lifelong ambition OF. a
Japanese. The higher the rank the
greater the display. When the en-
press dowager died in 1897 no less
than 100000 was appropriated from
the national treasury. The cere-
monies occupied several weeks, as
they were conducted according to an
Gent usage.
A few days ago, says the Indianap-
oils Press, the funeral of a lady of
the higher class in Toxic was attend
ed by vast concourse of people and
with a large expenditure of money.
Large edifces were erected near the
family vault for the mourners. The
service was chanted by so Buddhist
priests, the principal of whom pro-
nounced a warm and sympathetic ora
ton in memory of the deceased lady
whose noble character had won uni
versal esteem. Recently a CORE
spondent, while out in jinrilisha,
saw a great concourse of people
assembled in front of a silk store,
and learned that one of the firm
had died, and this was his funer-
al. He hurried on and took
position near bridge that led to the
temple. First in the procession came
body of men in gray tunics. These
were followed by a great number of
Japanese in their silken robes, that
set Off their fine, intelligent faces.
Then came the priests with their
shaven heads, over which men carried
large red Japanese parasols. After
these company of men with queer
head-covering of straw, like an invert
ed bread basket, carrying in their
hands sprigs of paper lotus. About
midway in the procession was the
bier, made of implanted wood and COW
cred with royal purple drapery and
borne on the shoulders of eight men,
the mourners, on foot, looking like
so many girls going to their first
communion, as they were dressed in
white, with white wells and carrying

opinion on the distribution of the pro-

proceeds, he says, are to be distrib-
uted pro rata to the several funds for
which taxes are levied, and the state
receives it's proportionate share of the
proceeds, and no more. In some
quarters the opinion. appeared to pre-
vail that the states claim is settled in
full before the county comes in for a
share. Both the attorney general
and the state auditor, however, agree
that the law is very clear. PA
