The police attending the transfer were not missed until o’clock In the evening. There was not a priest to be seen along the entire route of tbe procession. A pa- piermacne statuette of Viotor Hugo watching the orocession was p aced in front ot the Pantheon. The enormous crowd wis mostly composed of the work ing and middle classes, who treat* d the event ns a holiday. There wan not much emotion made manifest There was an absence of tbe feeling or smiiment which might be fairly expected at a great funeral, Tne general appearance ot the people yes terd*y did not differ in a great degree from that which may be witnessed at a review of troops or other popular festivals.

They quietly asked the holders to htue them, and if the request was refused then they snatched away the flags and allowed th* holders to go their way with out molestation.

Ravages In Kansa Maryland. Topeka, June 3.—There is now no doubt but that the Hessian fly is doing as much damage if not more than did the cold weather of last winter, aud the surplus wheat of Kansas will dwindle down to small proportions.

Cbicaot, June 3.—As far aa has been learned, the number of persona killed by .•►!)'n.: k' in uit n.*1.1 i -torm is four. The name of one man killed on Blue Island avenue has not b’fn ascertained. The others are John Montague, Mrs. Annie Anderson, Chsrles Wahlforth and John lUthke. The two lait named were labor ers employed in the lumber yard. The tirot named was a watchman, and Mrs. Amtenon wa* the wife of a mechanic. While leaning over the BtOYB preparing •upper, a boa came down the chimney, knocking her senseless and tearing up the floor. During the storm the wind blew a .ai** and a loaded street car was forced to stop on a bridge or be blown from the track. A eudden mist wrenched tr.e bridge from Its fastenings, whirling it lengthwise to the stream.’ Fortunately, no one was hurt. Total eost 352^62 72 There had been previously expended, for DUichase of additional land, salaries, print ing, etc , to last October, $35 051; expended since, in sa-aries, etc., $0 000—r aking a grand total of cost of the new capitol, all told, $03,013. As the July session of the Legislature I* near at hand, it impertinent to note that two questions aflecting the new capitol will again come up for consideration. Ihe first, aud obviously of least Import ance, i* the question of substituting Geor- gi» marble for oolitic limestone. It h un derstood that this matter will bs pressed before the Legislature, and certain propo sition* will be made by Georgia marble comPHniesSmore advantage on* than any heretofore made, looking to the eubstitu- tutiou of marble. The contractor* anticipate further con sideration of the matter, and have an un derstanding with the oolitic limestone peo ple. by which If marble is substituted, even aa late as Jnly, they may abandon the limest3ne without material loss. While there is lo question ibat the peo ple of Georgia, now as heretofore, would ne proud to seethe new capitol built of Georgia marble, there is great doubt if the Legislature will seriously consider the question of substitution further. Certainly not unlfsd the difference in cost of the two material* be made practically nominal, and that is an unreasonable expectation. The necond question which ths legisla ture will be called upon to consider is one ‘ muon greater gravity. It li the question money for the new capitol. It is getting be a very serious ques tion to determine where the building fund of tbe future is to come from. The framers ot the bill, po*siDly anticipa ting some opposition arising out ot the financial feature, f provided that there should bo no special tax levied for thl* work, but that the new capitol should be built out of the surplus in the treasury. It is wsll known that up to the present the capitol lisa been built not out of tbe sur plus, but out of the deficit in the t-easury. and it will continue until some other pro- vivon i* made. The linano committee of the last House ws* afraid to fare tins question, anu by a shrewd and cunning legei dim tin ot finance, jugalmt a little wi;h tho figures, dallied a little with the fundi! •; bill d, presto, there was an Ip rent' aurp.us in the treasury, could bo applied to thl work on the new capitol.

It will require, indeed very extraordinary leger demain on the part of tbe finance commit tee to meet in the July sesiion, but judging by the past, they will be equal to th* emergency. This factis, and it must be rec ognized sooner or later, uu er the present bill there is no legitimate fund available for the great work, and it cannot long be continued out of the deficiency in the treas ury. It will be necessary to levy a small special tax, which, recognizing the neces sity, the people will cheerfully pay. the sooner the Legislature faces the matter fairly and bravely, the better It will be. The finance committee Is iw ible a body to shuttle around such an obviously fixed fact. How long do they exrect the treasurer to continue paying money out of a surplus that does not exist?
