DEAD BODY DISCOVERED
REMAINS OF STEVE O'FLARETY
 FOUND IN ALLEYWAY.
Coroner of Jefferson County Engaged h an Effort to Discover Cause of Death--Peeullar Suit for
 Damages.

Birmingham, Nov. 24.--(Special. )--- The dead body of Steve O'Flarety. em- ployed about the coal washer at the Bexsemer mines in the western part of the County. was found in court way in the rear of the Salvation Army headquarters early this morning.
 Indications point to the man being dead some hours when found. His body, cold in death. was picked up by Captain s. N. Jones of the Salvation Army There were no positive signs about his person as to how he came to his death. It is possible that he was dragged into the courtway from the alley. II is also possible that he was sick and wended his way from the al- ley after fall into the courtway and then died during the night. A wln- dow in the second story of the build ing next to the court way was found open. and there was some indication that the man had fallen out to the ground below. His shoulder and head were bruised. The mans face was in the mud and his arms were out stretched.
 Coroner Paris is making a thorough investigation to ascertain, if possible, the cause of death. The deceased has no relatives in this section, as far as can be ascertained. He is supposed to be from Ohio. and was about 65 years of age.

HOPES AT ST. PETERSBURG
Some of Them Run Toward Peace With
out n Sea Fight.

out n Sea Fight.
st. Petersburg. April 1O.-There is
reason to believe that Wee Admiral
Rojestvensky's entrance into the China
sea has been followed by orders for
the cruisers Gromoboi, Rossia and
Bogatyr, which have been ready for
some time at Vladivostok, to put to
sea. Their appearance outside the road
stead of vladivostok would constitute
II threat against Admiral TOgo's rear,
and compel the retention in or dis
patch of a number of heavy fighting
ships to Japanese waters. Thus Adj
miral Togo seems to bevirtually placed
between two fires.
The peace influences in the govern
mcnt urge that this favorable strategic
position presents the psychological mo-
ment for Offering officially the olive
branch to Japan, reasoning that 10
matter how confident the japanese
government may he of Togo's victory
1t cannot overlook the possibility of de-
feat nor fail 10 appreciate the complete
NiStStcl winch NOulu lOllOW the lFduS-
fer Of the mastery of the sea to Russia.
With so much depending upon the is
sue, they argue, both countries have
mutual interests in avoiding an actual
test, and it is not impossible therefore
that n new move in the direction of
peace may come just as the world ex-
poets to hear the call to quarters for
greatest naval battle of modern times.
Some naval officers express the opin-
Ion that Rojestvensky, having now
safely navigated the straits, instead of
sailing north to meet the Japanese can
afford to calmly await Vice Admiral
Nebogatoif with his division of the
squadron, who could arrive there in
about three weeks. The Russian ad-
mlralty yesterday received long dis
patch from Singapore, but no intima-
ton as to its contents has been given
to the newspapers.
