Proposed Electric Line.

The proposed decuric linA from
Little Rock t. England is again being
considered by the promoters. and we
believe that it will not be long until
work will begin on it, says the Eng
land Courier. The chief trouble here
tOfore has been the difficulty in cross
ing the river, but the company's offer
to expend $4,000 in Strengthening the
free bridge, and an additional $4,000
yearly, FER its use, will probably be
accepted by the people of Pulaski
county; then if that is done the line
will be extended to England.

IN CHARITY'S NAME.
Thousands of Poor People In New
York and ST. Louis Are Given
Christmas Dinners.

st. Louis, Dec. 26.-Christmas din
ners were dispensed to thousands of
poor at the Coliseum, where tables
covering the entire floor of the vast
area were set with turkey and its &C
compartments. In addition baskets
containing materials for Christmas
dinners were sent to the homes Of as
many more destitute families. The
day was observed generally in all
municipal, corrective and charitable
institutions, as we'll as those of a pri-
vate nature by special dinners.
New York, Dec. 26.-The Salvation
Army, in keeping with it's annual GUS
tom, distributed Christmas dinners to
2 5000 of New York's poor at the
Grand Central palace Friday. Begin
ming at ten o'clock, 5000 baskets, each
containing a satisfying dinner for a
family of five persons, were distri-
buted. Friday evening 5000 of the
city's homeless poor sat down to tables
laden with turkeys, cranberry sauce
and other good things of the season.

AN AWFUL DEED.
Roscoe Derby Kills His Wife, Three
Children and Himself at Their
Home in Cleveland.

Cleveland O., Dec. 21.-Roscoe w.
Derby, a m%achinist, and about As years
old, exterminated his family early yes
terday by shooting his wife, his three
children and himself. The crime is be-
lieyed to have been due to dependency
ove the impoverished condition Of the
family purse and the near approach Of
Christmas. The crimes were extraordi-
nary in their thoroughness and there
was, evidently, no mishap in their enact
ment. The wife was killed first while
sleeping at her husbands side in bed;
two of the children were killed as they
ran hither and thither through the room
in the darkness of early morning en-
deavoring to escape their merciless par
ent. The third child was killed in it's
bed after it's elder brother and sister had
been killed.

PRAISES GEN. WOOD.
Secretary Root Reviews His Military
Record and Gives Reasons for Nom
nation to BE Major General.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The letter Of
Secretary Root to Senator Proctor, act
ing chairman of the committee on mill
tary affairs, dated November Is last,
giving a resume of the military record
of Gen. Leonard Wood and stating the
chief considerations which led to his
nomination as a major general has
been made public. After quoting from
remarks commendatory to Gen. Wood
made by Gems. Miles, Lawton, Graham
and Forsythe, the letter recites that
upon these and similar evidences OF
fitness President Mckinley appointed
Capt. Wood colonel Of the First Vol
unteer cavalry in May, 1898. The sec
rotary also quotes from the common
dations of Gems. Young, Wheeler, Sum
ner and Shafter on Gen. Woods con-
duct In the Santiago campaign.
The secretary adds: Upon a review
of Gen. Woods entire military record,
I think it fair to say that no officer of
the American army below the grade
of major general has held more i'm
portant commands, rendered more dis
tinguished service, or demonstrated to
a higher degree the possession of the
qualities which fit a man to render val
liable services to the country as a ma
jor general"

ACTIVE HOLIDAY TRADE.
1t Is the Main Feature OF the
Business Condition-FaVof-
able Outlook.

New York, Dec. 26.-Bradstreets
SAYS: "Activity in holiday trade, with
sales equal to or in excess of last year
at most markets.; quiet in wholesale
lines, as usual at this period, with faiT
recorders from jobbers and exception
ally strong and active markets for
speculatively dealt in staples, notably
cotton. wheat, coffee and provisions,
are the salient features of the week.
Other points brought out are the sus-
tanned better feeling in iron and steel
and exceptional ease In money at a
time when disbursement preparations
might be expected to lead to high
rates. In industrial lines the features
are the ending Of the Colorado coal
strikes and the gradual downward re-
adjustment Of wages in coal, coke and
iron and steel, to meet changed condi-
tions of supply and demand. The
year is, however, closing in many lines
with rather more cheerful tone than
seemed possible some time ago.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says: Holiday conditions per-
wade the markets, and most of the ex-
changes are closed until Monday. Man.
ufacturing plants are stopping for in
ventories and repairs, in many cases
the extent of idleness being consid-
erably greater than for the CORE
spending season in recent preceding
years. There has been a liberal vol
ume of business in holiday goods, but
reports are somewhat conflicting in
comparison with 1902. An encourag'
ing sign is the improvement in col.
lections. Railway traffic was not Sc

MAY Reconsider
REPLY TO JAPAN
Russia Has No Intention to Be Stub

ing the Difficulty,
1t Is Thought Cznr's Proposals May BE
Modified So as to BE Satisfactory
to Japnn-Latter Said to Have In
sisted Upon a Reply by January IT,
War VIII Probably Be Averted.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 26.-The Rus
sian government Is still considering
the reply of the Japanese government
to it's note which was sent in answer
to Japan's demands relating to the
situation in the far east. A reconsid.
Grafton of the proposals made in the
Russian note is considered as a matter
of course here. Russia has never been
disposed to take any step which would
lead to an abrupt termination of the
negotiations with Japan. In answer
to many inquiries the Russian foreign
Office has always insisted that the Rus
sian proposals were so liberal that it
would be scarcely probable to conceive
any further concessions. While the
foreign Office is unwilling to admit
that Russia is prepared to offer more
than the concessions outlined in the
last note, it is considered possible that
the government may suggest changes
by which the Russian requirements
may be met and satisfaction given to
Japan. A umo has been circulated
here that the United States govern
ment is still inclined to suggest the
reference of the difficulties between
Russia and Japan to The Hague arbi-
tration tribunal, but this rumor is be-
lieved to be merely the echo of a for
mer suggestion made in the press Of
the United States.

that only two weeks would be allowed

old soldiers have been cared for. The

increase of 20 per cent. during the
