REMAINS LEAVE COWES
Imposing Naval Pageant Between
COwes and Spithead.


Cowes, Isle of Wight, Feb. with
grand, yet mournful, display of naval
pomp and power, the body of Queen
Victoria was borne from it's quiet
resting place in Osborne house to
Portsmouth, the heart of England's
navy. Not since Admiral Cervera's
ships lit up the Cuban coast with
their self-consuming fires has any,
thing been seen which in tragic
splendor approached the naval spec
tacle of yesterday. The Id hun
dred red fighting ships that fred
their broadsides and minute guns
were inferior in strength to the force
gathered in the same waters for the
jubilee celebration, but the lack of
formidableness was fully atoned for
by the solemnity of this fleet in
mourning. Over the still waters, be-
tween the roll of the 6-pounders,
came strains of Chopin's and Bee
thoven's funeral marches.
The crews, accustomed to cheer
with the heartiness which belongs
only to ''jackies," stood silently
along the decks, and the flags which
usually float defiantly in the breeze,
dropped half way down the halyards.

and silent, save for the mournful
strains of the bands and the woeful
sound of guns that betokened neither
peace nor war, but death. Past these

slowly steamed. Ahead were eight
destroyers, and seldom have these
speedy craft drawn their long. black
bulls so sluggishly through the
water.
Steaming leisurely after them was
the royal yacht Alberta. halt
screened by the awning on the poop,
the royal coffin placed on crimson
dais, the curtains of which wera
drawn back and tied to four poles,
leaving free to view the magnificent
casket. Sometimes abeam, some
times ahead, was the Trinity house
yacht Irene, watching the course,
while in the wake of the coffin came
the royal yachts Victoria and Albert,
with King Edward and Queen Alex
andra and the English royal family;
the royal yacht Osborne. with other
royal personages; the imperial yacht
Hobcnzollern, with Emperor William,
the Duke and Duchess of Connaugkt
and others; the admiralty yacht En-
chantress and Trinity house yacht,
with officials on board.
The main squadron of battleships
and cruisers were moored two ana n
half cables apart, in one line, extend

The channel feet, under the com
mand of Vice Admiral Sir Harry

After the procession had passed

CONTINENT AND AN OCEAN
Crossed by tho Hartman Transportation
Lines,


New York, Feb. 2.-Another rail.
road transaction, reaching, it is be-
lieved, much further in it's ultimate
results than any of the deals which
have thus far marked the closing
of the old and the beginning of the
new century, became known just a
few minutes before the closing of
the market yesterday afternoon,
when the transfer of the control OF
the Southern Pacific railroad into
The hands of syndicate in which
Union Pacific interests predominant
was announced. The transaction
completes the last link necessary for
the establishment of a transconti-
mental railroad under single con-
troll. This control is at present vest
ed in +. III. Hartman. The new
route includes the following lines, in
all of which except the Southern Pa
cific Mr.. Hartman is officially con-
nected. Starting at San Francisco,
running over the Central Pacific over
the Southern Pacific direct to Ogden,
thence first over the Union Pacific
to Kansas City and thence over the
Chicago &c Alton to Chicago, or sec
ond, over the Union Pacific to Omaha
and thence over the Dubuque & Sioux
City branch of the Illinois Central
direct to Chicago, where the Balti-
more & Ohio connects direct to the
Atlantic seaboard.
The control of the Southern Pa.
cific, just transferred, includes the
large holdings controlled by Speyer
& Co., and also the Huntington hold
ings.
The Importance of the new deal
grows when viewed in connection
with the acquisition in November last
by the Southern Pacific of the Pa
cific Mail Steamship company with
it's immense distributing power ON
the Pacific coast. The acquisition
of the Southern Pacific is merely
another move in the community of in
ternational policy which has already
secured such a vast hold on the rail-
roads of the country. 1t means the
establishment of an all-rail transcon-
tinental road governed directly by
this policy.

BOER OUTLOOK Is GOOD.
Expect to Compel Great Britain to Max
Terms.

New York, Feb. 4.-Charles d.
Pierce, consul general of the Orange
Free State and trustee and treasurer
for the Boer relief fund, has given
out statement of the condition of
affairs in South Africa. He declares
that there can be no doubt of the
final success of the Beers, who will
accept no other from Great Britain
than peace with honor, meaning the
full recognition of both republics,
with treaty-making powers, and with
out the language of 'suzerainty.' He
says the Beers have $4,000 men in the
field well equipped and when they
need supplies or ammunition they
capture a British train and get what
they need. They are well mounted
and can evade the British force at
any point or strike blow without
fear of results. He says the total
Boer losses have not exceeded $500.
He declares the war is costing Great
Britain $1.000.0 900 day, besides great
losses in the mining industry which
are causing many bankruptcies in
British financial circles.

Merits of chocolate as food for
troops in the fields appear to be be-
coming rapidly and widely appreci-
ated. In the recent autumn maneuvers
of the Austrian army in Galicia a
chocolate ration was found to be equal
to about five times its weight of the
primest beef. From Russia also came
equally favorable reports respecting
the use Of chocolate and now in Amer
lea it forms a chief constituent OF a
new emergency ration with which
trials have been lately carried out.

NEW IOWA RAILROAD.
Milwaukee to Build From Davenport ia
Hedrick. Through Washington.


Washington, Feb. Information
comes here from headquarters that
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
will soon build their proposed short
line between Muscatine and HedriclS
or Ottumwa. AS surveyed, the line
will run from Muscatine north of the
Rock Island road till near Ainsworth,
where it will cross and go in south
easterly direction, passing Washing
ton about three miles to the south.
II will go north of Brighton and from
there to Hedrick or Ottumwa. 1t is
more likely that Hedrick will be the
terminus, as the Milwaukee can there
make connections to ship freight to
Kansas City by short route. From
Rock Island to Muscatine short line
may be built to connect at that point.
The reason for the new line is the
heavy traffic on the Milwaukee over
its line, which passes too far north
to make good time to Kansas City.
