NEW YORK, March 7.-On Tues

nounced that there is little likelihood
OF the ordinance proposition being in

that blue rrint is now being made

provided in the latest draft of the
ordinance. When this is ready and a
closer study can be made, Mr. Ustick
says an acceptance will be wired to
the city council. Mayor Elder states
that the ordinance insofar as he
knows, is perfectly satisfactory to the

The second letter was from Henry
Miller Of the Wabash. The exact con-
tents of it was not learned, although
Mayor Elder stated that it dealt with
one or two minor details. Acceptance
OF the ordinance by the Wabash is not
necessary, for the reason that while
they may have interests in the
changes as a railroad doing business
here and member of the Union De
pot company, they are not party to
the ordinance. 1t is necessary only for
the Union Depot Co., the Burling-
ton and the Rock Island to accept it..
Saturday is the time limit for the
railroad to accept, but there is moth
ing to prevent the city council from
extending this time, which will be
done II desired. If this is brought
about there is little chance for the
ordinance being submitted to voters
at the general election. After accept
ance of the ordinance it is necessary
to have it officially published. The
council will do this through the news
papers. requiring six issues Of the
Keokuk papers to make it official.

Confederate Statistics In q Nutshell.
Col. G. n Saussy in Macon (Ga) Telegraph
Total Federal enlistment during the four
eventful years, 1853, 1874 in the armies and
1913, 644 in the navies.
There occurred, in the little more than
four years, from the firing upon Fort Sum-
ter until the last armed resistance to Fed
eral supremacy, over twenty two hundred
armed engagements; from the individual
duel between outpost scouts and videttes
to the more pretentous battles, such as
Leesburg, Williamsburg, Sharpsburg,
Fredericksburg, Chambersburg, Gettys-
burg, Vicksburg and Petersburg. (Strange,
is it not, how the ''burgs'' intrude in this
bloody businessD
A Federal navy armed, also transports,
of over two thousand vessels, including
eighty mine ironclads, armed with cannon
up to twenty inches in bore, and resources
practically inexhaustible, showed the Fed
eral power afloat.
Against this tremendous aggregation
the South opposed less than seven hundred
thousand men. Cut off by active block
ade from the outside world, the South had
to create or capture whatever she needed.
In the four years hundreds of cannon
and thousands of small arms were captured
from the enemy. Of the naval force OF
the South it was so feeble it cannot be
considered factor in the great tragedy.
