Leading British military authorities say that England’s war resources are not sufficient to withstand attack from for¬ eign foes . The Dakota farmers who have survived the blizzard are happy in the thought that the moisture from the heavy snow fall will give the early wheat a good start. Mr. Froude, the English historian, in a recent work asserts that the retrogres¬ sion of Jamaica and other British pos¬ sessions in the West Indies has been so rapid that the Government is seriously asked to govern these places by commis¬ sion. A scientist claims that the bituminous coal field known as the Pittsburg is practically inexhaustible, according to the exploration. There are 10,009,000 bushels of coal in tho barges at Pittsburg awaiting transportation as soon as the rivers are navigable to the south and westward. Game Warden Collins, of Connecticut, comes to the defence of owls and hawks by saying that the examination of over 200 specimens of these birds by miscro scepists proves that they live on small birds, frogs, snakes, mice and grasshop¬ pers. The “small birds” are mostly sparrows, and very few game birds are eaten. Francis La Flesehe, of the Omaha tribe, who is employed in the Bureau of Indian Affairs at Washington, is the brother of Inshta Theamba, and is three fourths, not full-blood or even half breed, Indian. La Flesehe was edu¬ cated at the mission school of an Indiau agency in Nebraska, and was appointed by Secretary Kirkwood to a p’.aco in the Indian Bureau. He has made an efficient clerk. On several occasions he has acted as interpreter between his people and government officers, and has also been sent on several missions tb his tribe. An example of deterioration jn values is shown in the sale of the Great East¬ ern for less than $100, COO. The origin nal cost of the vessel was three and a half million dollars, but she was a gigan¬ tic failure from the start. The building of this ship, however, was of value in demonstrating that there was a limit in steamships in the direction of size. She has been of use also in the laying of the Atlantic cables. While those who in¬ vested their money in building this ship lost heavily in the venture, they can console themselves with the fact that their loss was not altogether in vain. Authentic estimates of the peace effect tives stationed in the frontier provinces of Austria, Russia and Germany show that Russia has 315,500 men, with 689 field-guns; Austria, 38,000 men, with ICO field-guns; and Germany 98,200 men and 338 field-guns. A comparison of the military situation on the Russian side of the frontier with that on the German side, taking the forces within territories of about equal area, shows that the Russians within 119,311 square kilometers have 128,275 men, 24,19S horses and 2,711 guns of all kinds, while the Germans, within 119,456 square kilometers, have only 81,714 men, 11,520 horses and 238 guns. The city of Mexico is madly devoting itself to gorgeous spectacles, in which the central attraction is bull-fighting. Sunday is the chief festival day for this sort of thing, and half a dozen “rings” attract multitudes. Saleri, a Spanish bull-fighter, noted in his own country for daring deeds, was imported by Mex¬ ican enterprise to add zest to the Sab¬ bath circuses. He was “famous” chiefly for that particularly reckless accomplish¬ ment which consists in infuriating the wild beast and then evading its onslaught by nimbly leaping over its head. His first experiment at an introduction cf this into the Mexican Sabbath programme resulted in his beiug gored to death. Another important staple has been placed at the mercy of one of the pow¬ erful associations of capitalists known as “trusts.” The Great Sugar Trust, re¬ cently organized on the principle of the Rubber Trust, includes twelve of the nineteen large refineries in the United States—seven in New York, four in Bos¬ ton, and one in St. Louis. Each refin¬ ery has put its entire capital stock into the Trust, taking certificates in payment, and the organization controls millions °f capital. The purpose is the “regula t:on” of the production and price of ? ngar. Whenever production is too great for the demand, or whenever there is a scarcity of raw sugar, certain of the re¬ fineries must shut down, and not start again until the market improves. CONYERS. GEORGIA, FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1888. GERMANY’S RULER. IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH, Frederick proclaimed. The New Emperor on German Soil Again Itellcions Services Over the Remain, of the late Emperor William. m I I V 11 i! ib. - r-rZ(\ Wh & 1 1 v mm VN.'- m Frederick William Nicholas Charles, now Frederick III, is the eldest son o! the late Emperor, and is in Us 57th year, having been born at Potsdam on Ootoboi 18, 1830. He married Victoria Adelaide, princess royal of Great Britain, on Jan¬ uary 95, IMS, and they have seven chil¬ dren, of whom Prince William, who has ligured so conspicuously during his fath¬ er’s illness, is the eldest, there being two younger sons and four daughters. The new emperor has had a brilliant oareer, and is one of the strongest and most pop¬ ular men in Germany. It seems like the veriest irony of fate that the imperial when crown should descend to him only Death stands ready with outstretched hand to pluok it from his brow. Emperor Frederick III drove to the station at Victoria San Remo, accompanied special train by Empress to take a in waiting to oonvey him to Berlin. The largest crowd ever seen in Sm Remo gathered to witness his departure. The new emperor was enthusiastically cheered by the crowd, and he repeatedly bowed his acknowledgments of their greetings. ail Emperor Frederick entered the i way cars without assistance, and then turned and assisted Empress Victoria to enter. The municipal authorities and a number of civillians were on the platform. King Humbert traveled from Rome to San Pier d’Arena to meet Emperor Frederick. When the train reached the station, King Humbert entered the coach occupied The by the emperor and embraced him. scene at their meeting was a touching one. The emperor was voiceless owing to his disease, but he wrote many notes, in one of which he thanked the Italian parliament for the honor and respect it had paid his father and himself. The Empress Victoria translated to King Humbert the signs made by the emperor and conversed with the king in French. The emperor was suffering from fatigue, but otherwise was in his normal condi¬ tion. His throat was closely muffled, and he wore a hooded cap and heavy surtout. rulers The silent parting between the two was affecting. Accounts concerning the meeting between Emperor Frederick and King Humbert at San Pier d’Arena rep¬ resent King Humbert as being stricken by the ghastly aspect of the emperor. After the departure of the imperial train, King Humbert covered his face with his handkerchief, and said several times: “He is ill, ah, very ill.” All the membeis of the ministry left Berlin by a special train to meet Em¬ peror Frederick as he returned from San Remo. Ihe special train conveying the emperor and empress arrived at Munich. Their mujesties met with a sympathetic reception at the station. The train ar r.ved at the West End station, nearChar lottenburg, at midnight. Close to the rails a tent-shaped pavilion, hung with black cloth, had been erected, through which his majesty, on alighting from the train, passed direct to his carriage, which eonveyed him to the Chariottenburg ichloss. The carriages on their way to ihe castle were preceded by a detachment ;>f the guard corps. A company of the Second regiment of the guards marched Into Charlottenburg, to mount guard at various points. services held the The funeral were over remains of Emperor William in the mor¬ tuary chamber in the palace. The cham¬ ber was profusely decorated with flowers. The Dowager Empress Augusta, the grand duke and grand duchess of Baden, the crown prince and the crown princess of Sweden, and other royal body personages the attended the services. The of emperor lay in the same position which the monarch occupied when he expired. A crucifix lay on his breast and an ivory cross was in his right hand. Chaplain the Voegel, in his sermon, alluded to moment when the Empress Augusta held the hand of her dying consort. After the service, the late emperor’s aide-de-camps, Lieutenant-General Von Lehndorff and Lieutenant-General Von Waldersee,acted as guards of honor at the dead monarch’s couch. The dead emperor’s body was removed to the cathedral at a late hour, after Emperor Frederick had viewed it. The dead emperor’s will directs that he be buried in full uniform with all his decorations upon him. At the autopsy the physicians discovered distinct traces of calculus. The Cologne GtuetU states that the czar of Russia will attend the funeral of the smperorin person. The whole Russian army, by special order of the czar, will wear mourning for four weeks. On the day of the funeral the whole army will wear full mourning, and the use of bugles will be prohibited. The St. Petersburg newspapers agreed in expressing a wish that Emperor Frederick continue the friendly policy of the deceased emperor toward Russia. Emperor Frederick, in his reply to President Carnot, alludes especially to die marks of sympathy shown him by the numerous French visitors at San Remo, and expresses the hope that the relations between France and Germany may soon be friendly. This response was sent direct from the emperor without consult¬ ing with Bismarck. The regent of Ba¬ varia has received this message from Em¬ peror Frederick: ‘ ‘In this moment of my deepest sorrow, I trust to your friend¬ ship to assist me and relieve the heavy cares now devolving upon me. ” T c this Prince Luitliold responded: 1 am deeply moved by your touching telegram. [ hasten to express my heartfelt sympathy with an assurance of continuance of our faithful friendship. ” RUSTING WHEELS. The striki ot Eocomo&ivo Engineers Ex¬ tending Over the West. The Burlington and Northern Railroad strike is on, having started at Minneapo¬ lis, Minn. The rotid’s freight business was very large before the Chicago , Bur lingtou and Quincy strike, but it is now nothing more than local. Chief Arthur stated unreservedly (to use Arthur’s ex¬ actness,) there was “serious danger that the strike of the engineers and firemen would now spread widely. It is impos¬ sible to appease our railroad men,”hesaid, “when they know that companies all over the country are giving aid to the Burlington. We are continually in re¬ ceipt of telegrams showing- that the com¬ panies arc rendering this assistance, and it is not in my power, or the powey of any other man, to restrain them, unless such things are stopped.” other The roads Burling¬ ton strike is involving at the stockyards. Five Lake Shore engineers refused to take a train of Burlington cars from Englewood declaring to Sixteenth they would struct, quit in Minneapolis, would haul anything bearing before they the “Q” label. A Wabash switchman refused to receive Burlington cars, which were brought to the yards at Root street. The switchmen employed by the Union Stockyards and Transit Company, which has charge of all switching at the yards, also decided that they would handle no Burlington cars. The full support of the entire Brothorhood of Locomotive En¬ gineers and Firemen has been pledged roads to their members on any and all throughout the United States, who deem it necessary to strike, and formally de¬ cide to do'so, the in order Chicago, to Burlington uphold then- & brethren on Quincy Railroad. So far as heard from not a single road upon which the Chica¬ go, Burlington & Quincy has made the demand to handle their freight had re¬ sponded favorable The Wabash refused point blank. The St. Paul declined, and heavy train, switched on to its tracks from the Burlington’s tracks, at Western avenue, for transportation over the Chi¬ cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, was hauled back. Other western roads to whom the formal request was sent, have either refused or are pre pared to reject freight when offered. J* . “We would rather have a lawsuit than a strike,” said General Agent W. S. Nine lin of the Minnesota & Northwest road, and Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City. The strike threatens to extend to the engineers aod firemen in the Denver & Rio “Grande Railroad’s freight several yards. It was learned that loads of freight consigned Grande for by the Burlington to Rio transfer to the West, arrived in the yards. Orders were issued to have the cars switched, but the engineer on the switch engine refused to touch them. Another engine was sent after them with the same result. The cars were aban¬ doned, and the men say they will quit before they move them, Indications are that a strike on the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Gulf system is inevitable. The Gulf road has announced its willingness to handle freight, and unless it reeonsid ers this determination the men will suve ly go out. BOLD SWINDLE. J. H. Bond, Mrs. Julia Bond, J. O. Bond, Dr. L. M. Shafer and his son, R. E. L. Shafer, with other.-, were arrested in Charleston, S.

Mr. Till¬ man declared that there was no such question, and the entire Missouri delega¬ tion give the assurance that the swords were in the undisputed possession of the Shields family. Mr. Raynor, from the committee on commerce, reported the bill tb establish a postal telegraph. hill Mr. Blount said the subject of ihe was one over which the committee on post offices and post roads had jurisdiction, and he reserved the right at the proper time to raise the question whether the committee on commerce had jurisdic¬ tion over the subject of posial telegra¬ phy. oossir.

The President sent to the Senate, a mes¬ sage in reply to the resolution requesting him to negotiate with the Emperor of China a treaty containing aprovision that no Chinese labor shall enter the United States. The President says, such nego¬ tiation was commenced some months ago, abd its progress has been communicated to such members of the Senate as sought in ormatkm upon the subject, and he now deems himself justified in expressing the hope and expectation that the treaty will soon be concluded concerning the immi¬ gration of Chinese laborers which will meet the wants of the people.
