tor Johnston reviewed the career of Colonel Wiley and continued as fol- lows:
 This is the brief record of his pub lie service. but what historian can re late or what friend narrate the many services he rendered. the kindly deeds he performed, or the joy he brought
 ed, to is family and loved ones or to
 those in distress or sorrow?
 T knew him well as legislator. law yer, citizen, soldier and friend. He served on my stan when I had the honor to be Governor of Alabama. Kindly. sympathetic, cheerful. full of generous sympathies. courageous, in his convictions. faithful to friends, to his country and State, ito be with ness his many unselhsh and generous acts. was to appreciate him more and more at his true value. He was bold and aggressive when he stood for client or cause. a formidable adversary in any form and a generous foeman who never struck below the belt, or cause lessly wounded the feelings of any man. The combat over. the victory won, he bound up the wounds of his adversary. soothed his feelings. and never boasted of his deeds. or har- bored animosity.
 whilst he commanded the attention and respect of any forum to which he was called, by the graces of his ora tory, and the logic of his argument. 1t was in the social circle where the kind liness of his heart and scintillations of his intellect shone most oonspicu- ously.
 No man of generous impulses, who knew him we'll, could fail to love him. No appeal was ever made to his sympathy that did not meet prompt response. No demand for his services by the people he loved so well was ever denied, however great the personal sacrifice.
 T saw him here In Washington. in his last illness, suffering great pain. but thoughtful still of the comfort of those around him. Little then did tn ink that should never again see his attractive smile. feel his generous greet ing. or hear his kindly voice.
 q saw him laid to his eternal rest in his loved city, and I saw the great concourse of his friends and acquaint- ances. white and black. that gathered around the grave to bid a long fare. well to a generous. faithful and affec. donate friend; and it seemed then to me. that this tribute to the man. to the citizen and to the friend, was the most convincing testimony that any man could have that he had not lived In vain or wrought for. self alone.
 Many years will doubtless pass be- fore time shall have taken edge from the sorrow of wife and son. The sympathy of friends. the remembrance ,f happier days. may bring some solace 70 their hearts, and 1t must soften their grief to know and feel that the loss s not all theirs, and that the people ,f his city and State. and a host of friends will long remember and regret | lis loss."

PRAISE OIL FOR FUEL.
Monitor Returns From Long Cruis
for Testing Efficiency.

SAN PEDRO, Cal, April 16-The coast
defense monitor Cheyenne has returned
to this port from a long cruise made to
test the efficiency OF oil as fuel. AL
though no official statement will be made
until the report sent to Washington is
given out, officers who have watched the
tests are strong in their praise Of Oil as
fuel for warships of all kinds.
They state that 1t has been proven a
saving in fuel as well as In labor and
that the working Of the oil burning plant
installed on the monitor at Mare Island
has been perfect. theoretically and prac-
tically. Steam pressure can be maintain
ed much more evenly than with coal. a
higher speed can be secured. and smoke,
cinders and dirt are eliminated. In times
OF war the absence Of smoke. the officers
point out. Is a valuable consideration, as
II makes II much more difiicult for an
enemy to discover the presence of the
ship or TO locate her exact whereabouts.
With Oil the Cheyenne on q high power
trial trip has been able TO make high
er rate OF speed than with coal and her
steaming radius of I $50 miles with coal
has been increased to 1900 with oil.
The air supplied to the burners Is su-
perheated TO about 400 degrees Fahren-
heit before entering the burners. and the
oil to about 300 degrees. The oil Is used
in gaseous instead of a liquid state.
