see the august personages who would at
tend the requiem services over the re
mains of the Dowager Empress Fred
erick. Throughout the night and again

U A. M. there was an unbroken stream of
carriages arriving from Homburg, Frank
fort and other points, bringing these In
vited to the solemn ceremony. Consider
able bodies of troops, both infantry and
cavalry, also arrived.
At 2:30 P. M. the Eightieth Regiment
formed up along the streets and the band
of the Bockenhelm Hussars- took its stand
opposite the church. Every window, bal
cony and housetop was filled with peo
ple waiting the arrival of the Imperial
personages.
Baron von Relschack, Court Marshal of
the Dowager Empress, superintended the
arrangements. Sir Frank Lascellcs, the
British Ambassador, was among the first
to arrive. He took a seat facing the cof
fin, which was covered with wreaths. On
either side of the coffin were four officers,
holding standards of the Empire of Prus
sia and of the deceased. Between them
and the coffin, were other officials, bear
ing drawn swords. Gradually the church
filled with officers in splendid uniforms
and ladles wearing deep mourning. Tho

dorff, who was the grand chamberlain of
the deceased, at the left of the coffin.
As the organ played the funeral march,
Dr. Dryander advanced to the head of
the coffin. The choir from the Berlin Ca
thedral sang "I Know That My Redeemer
iLlveth," and Dr. Dryander read a spe
cially written prayer, after which Em
peror William's eldest four sons stepped
forward with drawn swords and stood
aoso to the coffin. Dr. Dryander then de
livered an oration extolling the virtues of
the Dowager Empress and dwelling upon
Iber trials and sorrows. This was fol
lowed by the words of the burial serv
ice: "Dust to dust, ashes to ashes." The
choir thensang- the anthem "The Spirit
"Balth They May Rest From Their La

hymn. "Wenn Ich Elnmal Boll Schel

""fclveness to the historic associations re
called by the medieval edifice in which
It was held. At its conclusion Empress
(Augusta Victoria and Queen Alexandra
drove to Homburg, the Emperor and King
Edward following in a Becond carriage.
The streets were congested with sight
seers long after the imperial and royal
personages departed.
The extraordinary display of armed
force has been the subject of curious
comment and the measures of military
caution taken today were less drastic
than those taken last night, when It is
estimated that 2000 troops were employed
In vigilance service. Everywhere, how
ever, the precautions were apparently ex
cessive, for not a single suspicious arrest
has yet been recorded.
The Empire Paid. Tribmte.
BERIiTiT, Aug. 1L Throughout the Em
pire bells wero tolled today for the Dow
ager Empress Frederick and memorial
services held. At the British Church In
Homburg, Canon Telgnmouth Shore de
livered an eloquent discourse upon the
virtues and sufferings of the deceased.
At the conclusion of the sermon he nar
rated a curious incident. It seems that
while the Dowager Empress was breath
ing her last, a white butterfly fluttered
through the window into the room, set
tled Rightly on tbe bed and then flew
out heavenward as though ii might have
been the soul of the Dowager Empress.
-X. DCWITTEtS HEALTH.
Various Saaon "About the Russian
Finance .Minister.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 29, Rumor,
almost always busy with Minister of
finance M, De Witte, has set afloat
various stories of ill-health to account
for his deferring his proposed, journey to
Manchuria in order to take a course, at
Wiesbaden, .Most Ministers naturally
prefer Wiesbaden tp Manchuria and a
cure to unremitting labor during the hot
Summer months.' Not so with M. Dc
Wltte, who Is a sort of Atlas in the
Russian world and Is one of those na
tures which are alike greedy of work and
unwilling to drop even for a spell the
reins of power. The most persistent re
port is that the Minister is threatened
with meningitis. The truth seems to be
that he has undergone unusual strain
during the last 11 months and is In need
of a thorough rest. If certain people
who often know what Is being talked of
In court circles are not In error, he will
have the satisfaction next Winter of
seeing Mme. De Wltte received at court.
It Is said that the young Empress has
taken a fancy to Mme. De Wltte.
The Chinese Tariff Dispute.
LONDON. Aug. H. "Instead of en
trusting the conversion of ad valorem
Into specific duties to a cumbrous Interna
tional commission," says a dispatch to
the Times from Pekln, "Great Britain
favors each power making separate ne
gotiations as to tariff and securing ad
vantages of the most-favored nations.
The French Minister desires to increase
the membership of the conservancy
board, admitting representatives of pow
ers whose gross tonnage exceeds 200.000
tons annually, instead of 500,000 tons, as
before agreed. If his proposal Is ac
cepted, this will give votes to the United
States and France."
Parliament Completing: Its "Work.
LONDON, Aug. 1L It is still doubtful
If Parliament will be able to prorouge
August 17, but the Legislators are work
ing hard with this object in view.
Theoretically the House of Commons
ends the day's business at 12 o'clock,
but the 12 o'clock hour has been sus
pended and last week the House worked
until 5 or G in the morning In order to
get through the Ministerial programme.
In consequence It has been a most Ill
tempered assembly. Each hour was
marked by asperities, which is quite un
usual. Lightning: strode Absinthe Factory.
PARIS, Aug. 11. Pernold's absinthe fac
tory at Pontarlilier, one of the largest in
France, was struck by lightning this af
ternoon, and within a few moments all

ervoirs of spirits, were In flames. A
stream of burning alcohol was soon pour
ing into the river, causing the utmost
alarm. The factory was completely de
stroyed. The loss Is estimated at 8,000,003
francs.
Bomb Outrage at Troys.
PARIS, Aug. 11. A bomb was exploded

were In the sacred edifice at the time.
A Spaniard has been arrested on suspi
cion of btflng the author of the outrage.
Sailed for the Antarctic.
KIEL, Aug. 1L The German steamer
Gauss, bearing the German Antarctic ex
pedition, under the leadership of Profes

NEGROES IN THE MOB.
Men of His Color Helped Burned Joe
Washington.
SAVANNAH. Ga7Aug. 1L-Elghtecn
miles south of Savannah, the charred
trunk of the body of Joe Washington,
the negro ravlsher of Mrs. J. J. Clark, is
all that remains to tell the story of the
tragedy of last night.
Washington had been positively Identi
fied by Mrs. Clark. The proof of guilt
was conclusive, and Includes circum
stances that scarcely can be hinted at in
print. A mob of 400 men clamored for
his life, but the leaders of the mob, num
bering less than a dozen, carried Into ex
ecution the plans of vengeance they had
formed. The rest of the mob was ktpt
at a distance, and was not permitted to
come within 100 yards of the stake. This
was at a spot 500 yards from the Claik
house. The negro walked to his death
without a tremor. He admitted his guilt
of other crimes, but stubbornly refused
to acknowledge that he had assaulted
Mrs. Clark. A crowbar was driven Into
the earth. To this Washington was bouna
in a sitting position, his legs extending
straight In front of him on either side
of the bar. A chain held him fast around
the waist, while- a heavy rope encircled
the bar and hia neck.
The leaders of the mob asked Mrs.
Clark to apply the torch to the pile, but
she refused. Her husband was selected
in her stead. "Washington looked straight
into the eyes of Clark as the latter
stooped down to apply the match. The
wood was rich, fat pine, and saturated
with kerosene oil. The flames leaped to
ward Washington's body. The man
showed no signs In his face of the agony
he must have suffered, and met It without
a groan. The leaders of the mob watched
the work of the flames until Washing
ton's head fell back upon his shoulders
and he died. For some few minutes long
er they waited around the spot and then
dispersed quietly.
The negroes of the country arealmost
a unit In approving the punishment, and
many were members of the mob.

room later. After the meeting, 'Senator
Clark left for his home, seemingly In a
highly contented frame of mind.
SALT LAKE, Aug. 11. The Chicago
story about Senator Clark's compromise
with the Union Pacific on the California
right of way case is not credited here.
In the first place, the Oregon Short Line
sent down more surveyors today to work
on the line. General Manager Dickinson,
of the Union Pacific, who arrived In this
city from the East tonight, said he knew
nothing of It, and General Attorney Wil
liams, of the Oregon Short Line, when
shown the dispatch, said he did not be
lieve it, as the wording was too vague anfl
It did not show that the Short Line was
represented In an executive way at such
an Important conference. The local di
rectors and officials of the San Pedro road
have not received a word on the subject.
Union Paclac Earnings.
OMAHA, Aug. 11. A comparative state
ment of the earnings of the Union Pacific
Railway for the fiscal year recently close'd
shows that the net earnings for that pe
riod were $1,136,127 In excess of the net
earnings for the preceding 12 months. The
gross earnings of the 12 months ending
June 20 showed an Increase of $4,328,006,
and the increase in expenses amounted to
$3,191,879.

merely on a trip of Inspection.
ITS EFFECT WAS GOOD.
Kitchener's Proclamation Helped
Prices on the Stock Exchange.
LONDON, Aug. "nT Lord Kitchener's
proclamation at Pretoria had a comfort
ing effect last week on the Stock Ex
change. Whether the most hopeful spirit
with which It was received was due to
sentiment or to well-grounded reasons the
future must determine, but the Immedi
ate effect was to Improve prices some
what. Another hopeful factor was de
cidedly easy money. Not only In Lon
don, but In New York and on the Con
tinent, the principal Bourse rates were
all under 24 per cent.
Enough gold is afloat and coming in
to the provinces to raise the reserve of
the Bank of England well over 25.000.000.
New York exchange was high, and Is
likely to remain so. Naturally there Is
some caution In discount circles, In view
of New York's probable demand for gold
for the Autumn crop movements, but it
is not believed that this will be suffi
cient to raise London rateB materially.
The week witnessed the unusual spec
tacle of an Improvement In home rails
and a decline In Americans. This arose
on one hand from renewed apprehension
regarding the steel strike, while on the
other the fact that British railroad shares
descended to about the lowest possible fig
ures' was due to reaction. The outlook for
home traffic Is exceedingly gloomy. The
half-yearly statements of the railway
companies are all In. and they show a
serious falling oft In the gross receipts
in almost every case, while the tremen
dously Increased working cost material
ly reduces dividends. The managers con
fess that they see no prospect of im
provement for years ahead, and there is
a general cry for retrenchment. There
Is a wide field for Improvement in the
equipment of both freight and passen
ger departments, and this fact, combined
with the present low prlco of stocks,
seems to offer a favorable opening for
American enterprise to do for the steam
roads what It is already doing for the
tramway lines.
So far as the steel strike is-concerned,
there Is wide divergence of opinion with
reference to the relative strength of the
men and the employers. There Is also
a plentiful supply of misinformation as
to the American labor situation In gen
eral. The only unanimity of belief Is In
the conviction that the strike Is certain
to have a disastrous effect upon Indus
trial Interests. Consequently the outlook
for business In the American section of
the Stock Exchange Is not promising.
Berlin Boarse Was Qaiet.
BERLIN, Aug. lL Last week's Bourse
was without striking features, and more
quiet than usual, but the general tone
was somewhat Improved. The Frankfurt
er Zeltung says that scarcely one trans
action in" shares was made, as far as In-
vestments Is concerned. The attention of
the market was much occupied with the
affairs of the banks. The semi-annual re
ports have had a somewhat reassuring
effect upon the market. Interest In
American railways was slight. Canadians
were very active. Prussia's coal produc
tion for the first six months of the year
was 49,982,383 tons, or an Increase of 299,
2C3 tons.

ERRORS IN THE BOOKS.
Philips Company Is Better Off Than
It Thonght.
CHICAGO, Aug. 11. The Record-Herald
tomorrow will say:
"The George H. Philips Company has
found Itself better oft by $134,000 than it
thought by the discovery of two errors
In the books found since the firm sus
pended business. One was an error of an
even $100,000. The firm deposited In the
bank $133,000 In cash for which It received
credit by the bank, but which appeared
on the books of the firm as a deposit of
$33,000. Another mistake of tho book
keeper was the failure to credit the firm
for $34,000 of warehouse receipts deposited
in the bank early in April. It is prob
able that the firm reorganized will re
sume business Tuesday."
Boycott on Brnailinn Coffee.
SAN JUAN, P. R., Aug. 11. The mer
chants of San Juan are alarmed concern
ing the Importation of Brazilian coffee,
which has been made possible by the re
moval of the tariff. This coffee can be
sold here at about one-half the price of
the Porto Rlcan product. The merchants
of Manatl met today and resolved not
to trade with the Importers of coffee from
Brazil, and meetings were held In. other
towns. Governor Hunt has consented to
ask Washington for relief. The Importers
of coffee arriving today, fearing public
feeling, announced that the coffee re
ceived would be shipped back again by
the next vessel, the newspapers having
demanded that a boycott be Instituted
against the dealers until Congress can
act.

ALL DID NOT STRIKE
(Continued from First Page.)
consequenccthe plant of the Illinois Steel
Company In this city will be running as
usual tomorrow. Several speakers polntea
out that a strike at this time would be
of no advantage to the Amalgamated As
sociation, and would do no harm to the
United States Steel Corporation, Inasmuch
as the trust is prepared at short notice to
transfer all the work of the South Chi
cago. Bayvlew and Jollet mills to Its plant
at Duquesne, which can be converted Into
a plant for the making of bar steel. The
members of the Bayvlew lodge will con
tribute liberally to the strikers In the

of the Amalgamated Association, which
includes the skilled mechanics and work
men of the Illinois Steel Company plant
In Jollet, today discussed the strike at
length and finally took a secret ballot on
the question of striking. The ballot re
sulted In a decision to disregard Presi

ACTION AGAINST THE COMBINE.
Snit May Be Brought Under the Ohio
Anti-Trust Larva.
COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 11. It developed
that, Independent of the legal action
which Is to be brought against the United
States Steel Corporation by the Anti

by the Secretary of State. It Is believed
by that official that the United States
Steel Corporation Is doing business In Ohio

tion to do business In Ohio, although the
property controlled by It In this state is
represented by several million dollars'
worth of stock., upon which, If the Ohio
companies have really been absorbed, the
state Is entitled to collect a tax of one
tenth of 1 per cent, under what la known
as the Hard law, the Constitutionality ot
which was recently sustained by the Su
preme Court. It Is stated by Clerk Al
read, of the Secretary of State's office,
that notices will probably bo sent to the
steel corporation the coming week, calling
attention to Its obligations under the law.
Should the plea be made that the Ohio
companies have not been absorbed and arc

CARLtLE AND WIFE.
A Short Sketch of the Mnrrlcd Life of
the Cnrlyles. '
To speak of Carlyle is to recall Mrs.
Carlyle, one of the most brilliant and wit
tiest of women, who willingly, and know
ing what the sacrifice meant, submerged
herself In her husband. She was ambitious
and married Carlyle because she believed
he would win honor and renown. She
oerved him faithfully and devotedly and
made It possible for him to do the work
he did.
Thirty years after her marriage Mrs.
Carlyle wrote: "I married for ambition.
Carlyle has exceeded all that my wildest
hopes ever Imagined of him, and I am
miserable." And to a young frlendt "My
dear, whatever you do, never marry a man
of genius."
As will be remembered by most read
ers, Mrs. Carlyle died suddenly In her
carriage when driving around Hyde Park.
Carlyle was at the time away from home
at Edinburgh, where he had just de
livered the address as lord rector of the
university. -
He was deeply affected, and -all his later
life was tinged with sadness. ,
The following Is the epitaph he wrote
for her tomb:
In her bright existence she had more sorrows
than are common, hut also a toft Invincibility.
& capacity for discernment and a noble loyal
ty of heart which are rare. -For 40 years she
was the true and loving helpmate for hr hus
band, and by act and word unwearledly for
warded him as none else could In all or -"orthy

that he did or attempted. She died at London,
April 21, 1860. suddenly snatched from him,
and the light of his life, as If gone out.
Froude says, concerning the married
life of the Carlyle6:
Perhaps there has been too much stress laid
on the domestic Infelicities of tne Carlyles. It
must be remembered that their wedded life
extended over a period of 40 years.' The col
lected Instances of their happiness to be gath
ered from all the books Is beaten out thin
enough over such a space of time. Neverthe
less, a genius even greater than Carlyle's can
not excuse the hardships he thoughtlessly and
often knowingly put upon his wife.
Jane "Welsh was born July 14, 1S01. Her
father was a surgeon of reputation, who
made a considerable fortune In his pro
fession. Jeannle was his only child, and
at an early age exhibited qualities of
mind as well as beauty of person that
attracted general admiration. She was
ambitious and intelligent as a schoolgirl,
and mastered Latin like a boy. She was
probably, from all accounts, what we call
In this country a "tomboy," for there Is
an authentic story that one day at school,
when a lad was Impertinent to hr, she
doubled up her fist and hit him hard
enough on tho nose to make It bleed.
When the master, noticing the scuffle,
called the school to order, Jeannle ac
knowledged that it was she that made
the trouble; whereupon the master said:
"You're a little deevll," and sent her
down to the girls' room
She grew up to be a beautiful girl, and
naturally enough had a host of lovers.
Among these was Edward Irving, after
ward celebrated as a distinguished preach
er In London, and who finally lost his
mind. Irving was her teacher for a time
in literature, and the mutual attachment
that sprung up affected tho lives of both
of them to the end. Unhappily, Irving
had become Involved In a love affair that
It seemed Impossible to break off, and
the result was that the real lovers were
obliged to part. Other love affairs she
had as well, but It was not until 1822.
when she was 21. that she met Thoma-.
Carlyle, then nged 27.
Their courtship extended over the next
four years, and Its course did not run
smoothly. Never were two young people
more Incompatible In temper, habits and
training- Carlyle belonged to the peasant
class, while Miss Welsh was of the higher
and better born people. He was undoubt
edly In love with her, and she admired
his genius. They becamo engaged, and
then offered to release each other. Here
are a few specimens of their correspond
ence. She writes:
My friend. I love jou. I repeat it, though 1
find the expression a rash one. All the ben
feelings of my nature are concerned In loving
you. But were jou my brother I Miould loe
you the same. No! Your friend 1 will be,
our truest, most devoted friend. ihlIo I
breathe the breath of life. But your wife,
necr! Never! Not though jou were as rich
as Croesus, as honored and renowned as jou
yet shall be.
ThJs Is Carlyle's reply:
My heart Is top old by almost half a score
of j ears, and Is made of sterner stuff than to
brtak In Junctures of this kind. I hae no
tdsa of djlng In the Arcadian shepherd's style
fnr the dMappoIhtmont of hopes which I never
seriously entertained, or had no right to en
tertain seriously.
Finally all quarrels are made up and
the wedding day Is set, and then we have
a letter from Carlyle laying down the law
of his houi?ehold that Is to be.
Thf man shall bear rule In the house, and
not the woman Thli Is an eternal axiom. th
