HALE FRANCIS JOSEPH
STURDY OLD EMPEROR DRIVES
OUT IN PUBLIC.

VIENNA, December 21.-Emperor Fran
els Joseph. whose life two months ago
was despaired Of drove from the castle
at Schoenbrun to the Hcfburg in Vienna
this morning. and in the throne room Of
the Hofburg received the members of the.
hungarian and Austrian delegations and
read to them the speech from the throne.
This is the first time since his serious
illness that the emperor has left Schoen-
brun. and the public seized the oppor-
tunity to show it's delight at the recov-
cry of the monarch. The entire route be-
tween the two palaces was decorated Law
ishly. The houses along the way were
decked with flags and flowers, and dense
masses of people thronged the streets.
The windows were crowded with ladies,
who waved their handkerchiefs as the
sovereign drove by. and throughout the
half hours drive the emperor was the
recipient of a remarkable ovation. He
was IN an open carriage, and he showed
practically no trace of his recent serious
illness.
At the Hofburg the emperor alighted
briskly from his carriage. Burgomaster
Lueger and the members Of the privy
council awaited the emperor at the en-
trance OF the Hofburg. Herr Lueger well
coined. him and congratulated him upon
his recovery on behalf of the city of

peror route from Schoenburg lined with
school children, but at the last moment
the emperor prohibited this on account

Retail Grocers File Protest.

The Retail Grocers' Protective Associa-
ton has suggested to the Commissioners
that section of article 3 of the police
regulations be amended so as to either
permit dealers in gasoline. kerosene OF
other inf1ammable fluids to sell the same
In stores or places where lights are burn
ing at night, or else to entirely prohibit
such sales after sunset.
Through its attorney the association ex-
plains that at present storekeepers are
prohibited from making such sales, while
proprietors of tank wagons may sell at
night. This. the grocers say, results in a
benefit on one class to the disadvantage
of another. In the letter to the Commits
sioners suggesting the amendment it is
stated that the evil intended to be pre-
vented by the police regulation now In
force is made possible by the fact that a
person purchasing the fluids from tank
wagon must necessarily carry them
through lighted rooms and so explosions
are likely to occur the same as If the oils
were in the first place sold in a room con-
tanning lights.

MR.. CARNEGIE's WAR RECORD.
Inaugurated. the Governments Mill
!, tary Telegraph System.

: The fact that Mr.. Andrew Carnegie
served In the military telegraph service
Of the War Department during the civil
war has beer duly certified in official
form by Gen. Oliver. acting secretary Of
war, in accordance with the special act
Of Congress authorizing the issue of such
certificates. Thesrecords of the depart
ment show that shortly after the outbreak
Of the civil war Mr.. Thomas Scott. super
intendentr Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, who was then assistant secre-
tary Of war, summoned his assistant, Mr.
Carnegie. to Washington for the purpose
OF establishing a military telegraph sys-
tenn.
The first thing Mr. Carnegie did in that
direction was to send to Pittsburg for
four of the most expert telegraphers en-
ployed by the Pennsylvania railroad at
that place. One of these men was Sam
uel Brown and another was w. Homer
Bates, both of whom subsequently be-
came prominently identified with the gen.
eral telegraph service of the United
States. With these four men Mr.. Carne-
gle practically inaugurated the military
telegraph system which proved such a
valuable factor in the prosecution Of the
civil war. Mr.. Carnegie remained in
Washington engaged in this work for
about three months and then resumed
his duties with the Pennsylvania railroad.

Ice in the Potomac River.

The water in the river. which had
warmed up considerably after the freez-
ing weather of the latter part of No
venber. is again thoroughly chilled. and 1t
requires a temperature of but a little
below freezing to cover it with a coating
of ice. The harbor yesterday was covered
with sheet of Ice an eighth of an inch
thick. and on the Eastern branch 1t was
heavier. This morning, in consequence of
the cloudy weather last night, there was
not as much ice on the river, but still it
was visible.
The ice is thick and hard enough to cut
the wooden hu!ls of vessels. and until It
is broken up and blown ashore wooden
hull tugs lie still in the morning and al

While the rivermen say they are not
looking for freeze until after the middle

forty-eight hours of snappy cold weather
to put thick sheet of ice on the surface
of the Potomac.
