Use of Coolies for Transport Lessens
Soldiers’ Work.
The jinrikisha. coolie, with his little
lacquered carriage, does not view the
clanging electric railway cars with equa-
nimity, writes Eliza R. S. Scidmore in
the Chicago Tribune. Flesh and blood
and muscle can not compete with the
Subtle current and the 3 sen (iy2 cents)
fares, and it is evident that thousands of
iJinrikishas must go from Tokio streets,
and hardships fall to the coolies this
Winter. One such human pony told me:
"jinrikisha soon be finish,” and when
tisked what he would do, answered:
"Oh, Russia make bobbery, make bob-
bery; then come war, and plenty jinriki-
sha go Manchuria. I go Manchuria.”
"And kill all the Russians?”
“Sayo de gozarimasu” (that is so, cer-
tainly), and he bowed seriously.
With this relief in view the jinrikisha
coolies are contentedly waiting. Any day
they may step from the shafts at an
flour’s notice and with their blankets and
lanterns go to the railway station to be
hurried down to waiting transports at
illjina. A coolie corps goes with each
regiment to do the packing, the hauling
and heavy work that lessens the fighting
soldier’s power to march and shoot.
On the march to Pekin the American
soldier, loaded like a pack horse, broke
down or threw away his load, as at San-
tiago, while the nimble Japanese scam-
pered here and there a-soldlering, and
came up at the end of each march as
fresh and smiling its their tireless leader,
Gen. Fukushima. The Japanese coolie
did the coolie work, and the jinrikisha
transport corps was a mobile, flying froce
compared to the American four-mule
army wagon trains or the Biitish India
tonga cart service. The human pony
could look after himself, and when there
.was a stream to ford or a mud slough to
argue with two coolies could take the
jinrikisha on their shoulders and With cat-
like tread pass over and leave the irate
teamsters hours behind.
The jinrikisha coolie is certainly "the
man in the street,” and one hears the
.words: “Roo-sha,” “Khoreu” (Korea)
and "Manchuria” often as he passes a
stand of waiting vehicles. They read all
(the sensational extras, and firmly believe
the present depression in their labor mar-
ket to be the forerunner of a boom,
When wartime prices will rule, and they
Will be assisting in the great revenge.
’ THE THRONE ROOM AT PEKIN.
'its Glories Surpass Those of the Palace of
the World.
Pekin Letter to the Chicago Tribune.
No throne rooms in Europe that I can
recall equal in impressive splendor the
great audience halls in the old palace, the
forbidden city of Pekin, which remain to-
day practically as they were when Yunglo,
the magnificent, the luxury-loving genius
of a Ming emperor, bequeathed them to
his successors. These lofty halls, with
their richly paneled ceilings, their painted
beams and intricate bracketings are light-
ed entirely from the south, the whole front
being composed of latticed and traceried
doors that hinge open on occasion and ad-
mit the light to the last cosuel panel of
the dragon ceilings. The floors and the
high dais are covered with thick carpets,
large squares of imperial yellow ground,
on which writhe five-clawed dragons in
blue, with a wave and rock border. Steep
stairways lead to the dais, where incense
burners breathe clouds of perfume during
a state ceremony, and the great armchairs
of state of ebony or gold lacquer are neats

Motion for mandamus dismissed: Hous-
ton and Texas Central Railroad company,
vs. Keet McDade, sr., from Waller. (This
was the mandamus prayed for to compel
evil north wind and any draft, besides
displaying moral apothegms and noble
mottoes in classic seal characters. ‘ There
are three such splendid audience halls in
succession after the three entrance courts,
with their marble terraces, their bridged
canals, Assyrian-like columns, guardian
lions and massive incense burners. Ad-
joining the third great audience hall there
is a hall of books, rows of them mounting
shelf over shelf, each row of books pro-
tected by a yellow drop curtain weighted
at the bottom by a strip of wood that
keeps it taut. Each set of volumes is fold-
ed in a yellow cloth case fastened with
red ivory pins. Precious volumes, editions
de luxe, are rolled in squares of yellow
brocade that fold over and fasten with a
heavy silk cord and ivory pin.
A tall inlaid screen in this ball of books
conceals the immense jade fish bowl, a.
huge block of dark green nephrite whose
carved surface we could only see bit by
bit, as we scratched matches and lighted
a few inches of it at a time. It is even
larger than the great jade bowl of Kang-
shi, which stands like a sacred image on
a marble pedestal under a pavilion of its
own at the sea palace. At the other side
of the audience hall there is a little study
that is only as large as the shelf of the
Kang or Tartar stove, a nest of yellow
cushions, a low table for books—all that
it contains. This was the favorite study
room of the boy emperor for many years,
and the single panel of the screen closing
its entrance had a modern French land-
scape, with its gold frame and glass shad-
ow box complete mounted on its outer
face. Behind the screen of the dais there
was a collection of imperial maps, an
atlas of the empire in sections, and many
volumes, folding puzzles that, fitted to-
gether province by province, would have
nearly covered the floor of the audience
hall.
NECROLOGICAL
MICHAEL DUFFY.
Michael Duffy died in St. Joseph’s in-
firmary, Houston, Sunday morning and
was buried in Evergreen cemetery in that
city yesterday afternoon. For nearly a
third of a century Mr. Duffy had been a
resident of this part of Texas, much of the
time making Galveston his home. He was
for many years the superintendent of the
Mallory line wharves here, and had a wide
circle of acquaintances and friends, many
of whom will be surprised to learn of his
death. He had been away from Galveston
for some months, having gone to Mobile,
Ala., last fall to take charge of the Mal-
lory wharf there. He later went to New
Orleans, where he was taken ill, and was
on his way back to Galveston, stopping
over a few days in Houston, when he was
compelled to enter the infirmary, in which
he died in less than a week.
Those who knew "Duffy” best liked him
best. He was a man possessed of good
judgment, and ability beyond the aver-
age of those with whom he came most in
contact, and his ideas and conclusions
were frequently sought and generally
heeded to the advantage of those whom he
favored with his friendship. No man here
ever knew or understood the colored man
better than did “Mr. Mike,” as the hun-
dreds and hundreds of colored wharf hands
he has worked called him. He was their
successful master, but at the same time
their best friend, and will be missed by
them and by many white people of this
community who knew him well and ap-
preciated his virtues and many excellent
traits of character.
' THEODORE TREACCAR.
Theodore Treaccar, who died last night
at his home, corner 32d and avenue K, was
one of Galveston’s oldest citizens. Born
in Germany, he came to this country at
the age of 7 and has resided here ever
since. He was a contractor, and by his
thrift and energy had managed to accu-
mulate quite an estate. He leaves a wid-
ow, three boys and one girl, all grown.
His sickness was of long duration and of
a very painful nature, and death came as
a blessed relief from his sufferings. He
was 63 years of age.
The funeral occurred this afternoon at
4 o’clock from the family residence, 32d
and avenue K.

SENATE CEREMONIES
DIGNIFIED AND SIMPLE
Eminent Assemblage Gathered1
About Bier Among Whom Was
the President.
By Associated Press,
Washington, D. C., Feb. 17.—Without
pomp or ceremony the remains of Senator
Hanna, at 11.15 o’clock today, were con-
veyed from the Arlington hotel to the
senate chamber, where the official exer-
cises were to be conducted.
The pall bearers wer composed of de-
tachments of capitol police and the cor-
tege was preceded by a platoon of
mounted military.
Throughout the morning a number of
friends called at the hotel, where they
were permitted to view the remains. The
room in which lay the dead statesman
was so banked with flowers that the
tributes were almost as high as the
casket.
Upon the lapel of the senator’s coat
was the insignia of the royal legation
and the casket was enveloped with an
American flag belonging to that organiza-
tion. Shortly after 10 o’clock members
of the family, with the exception of Mrs.
Hanna, took a last look at the remains
and the casket was then sealed. Not
since the senator passed away has Airs.
Hanna seen the remains, she preferring
to remember him as in life.
The funeral procession was made up of
a hearse and eight carriages, the first six
of which were occupied by members of
the family and the other two by a com-
mittee representing the Gridiron club.
An Immense crowd gathered in the vi-
cinity of the hotel and men reverentially
removed their hats as the casket was
borne to the hearse.
The services in the senate were digni-
fied and simple. Seldom has a more dis-
tinguished body of people been collected
to do honor, either to living or dead.
Rarely has there been witnessed here a
more Impressive proceeding. In the front

rinaga This Afternoon.
At 1 o’clock this afternoon .fire was dis-
covered in the coal bunkers and hatch
number two of the steamship Anselma de
Larrinaga, then at pier 32 taking on a
cargo of cotton. An alarm was turned in
from box 45 at the Moody compress, that
has recently replaced' box 81. Some of
the fire companies had .'-pre^ously been
notified by phone, and aSiaum&r of pieces
of apparatus were promptly on the ground
and commenced operations on the fire.
After a stiff fight for jiver two hours the
firemen, as the Tribune closes its forms
for the press, are in full control of the
situation and they, together with a large
force of cotton screw.men, are breaking-
out.. the cotton in hold ntejfcer two and
wetting down the hoi place! that they

firemen were temporatjly-, overcome by
smoke during the fire and that one of

Major Beuhler’s saloon Watching a pool
game, when the deceased, Downing, carrie
running in fro'm the Tremont side door,
and he yelled for some one to stop that
man, ‘He has cut me.’ In a few minutes
after that a one-armed man had a knife
raised in his hand when he came in the
door and said: ‘Will you, you---
--?’ The pool game broke up and the
•bartender ran behind the bar. I ran and
grabbed a cue that was laid down in the
pool game. I said to the one-armed man:
‘If you move a step I will brain you.’ He
said: ‘I ain’t going to do nothing.’ I
said ‘Don’t move,’ and he dropped his
hand down, and the policemen came in.
The one-armed man said: T am the man.’

MARITIME MATTERS.
The North German Lloyd Steamer
Brandenbury is Here For
the First Time.
Chief Officer Winter of the North Ger-
man Lloyd steamship Brandenburg, Capt.
E. Woltersdorff, reported an account of
the voyage of that steamer from Bremen
to this port to a Tribune reporter this
morning. He said that the voyage from
Bremen to New York was exceedingly
bad, one of the worst trips that the vessel
has made in its short career. All the way
from the English channel to the American
coast the ship experienced high westwardly
winds which at times increased to almost
hurricane velocity. Hail squalls and snow
were experienced nearly all of the time.
From New York south, however, the voy-
age was considered very pleasant.
The Brandenburg brought into Galveston
43 third class passengers and 11 cabin pas-
sengers. The third class persons on this
trip were much above the average, most of
them being small merchants, many having
made previous trips to America, On ac-
count of the extreme inclement weather
the passengers were unable to get on deck
much of the time, and nothing of special
interest happened among them. There
were no weddings on board, as is many
times the case among the lower class pas-
sengers. There were also no deaths nor
sicknes on board during the whole voy-
age.
The Brandenburg is a comparatively new
vessel, having been built in Bremen about
two years ago. She is one of the' largest
vessels that has entered this port for some
time. She is built in ten water-tight com-
partments, so that any one or two or
more of them may become filled with wa-
ter and yet the safety of the vesel may
not be endangered. To test this when she
was at the dock in Bremen before her trial
trip two of the compartments were filled
with no injury whatever, not even the
starting of a bolt. Many vessels in like
trials have sustained the breaking of one
or more of their bulkheads. This is the
first visit of the Brandenburg to this port.

ELLERY’S BAND
May Play Engagement in Galveston Dur-
ing Month of June.
There is a probability that Ellery’s
band, which is pleasantly remembered as
having been heard here last summer for
the benefit of the World’s Fair fund, will
be in Galveston for an engagement some
some time during the month of June.
Mr. Ellery directed a communication to
Mr. Charles Fowler of this city, express-
ing a desire to come here, and that gen-
tleman referred the communication to Sec-
retary W. A. Gardner of the Galveston
Business league. Mr. Gardner placed him-
self in communication with Mr. Ellery to-
day, and it is quite likely that arrange-
ments will be made for the appearance
here of this organization.

WHERE IT WAS.
Democracy’s Location From ’92 to ’96 Is
Definitely Established.
Indianapolis News.
Mr. Bryan said a few days ago that the
so-called reorganizers of the Democratic
party were trying to put the party back
where it was between the years 1892 and
1896. It seems well, therefore, to inquire
as to the condition of the party dtalng
that period. It controlled the executive
branch of the government, Mr. Cleveland
having been elected in 1892 by a large ma-
jority in the electoral college as well as
by a plurality of the popular vote. In the
year 1893 it had, and had for several years
thereafter governors in the northern states
f of Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, New Jer-
sey, New York,. Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin and Wyoming. Between 1890
and 1894 even Iowa had a Democratic
governor, while another pemocrat, Janjes
E. Campbell, was governor of Ohio from
1890 to 1892. The fifty-third congress,
elected in 1892, was Democratic, the senate
containing 44 Democarts and 38 Repub-
licans, and the house 219 Democrats and
127 Republicans. The party had one sen-
ator from California, one from Delaware,
one from Illinois^ one from Kansas, one
from North Dakota, one from Ohio, one
from Wisconsin and two from Indiana, two
from New Jersey and two from New York.
Omitting the Populist states, the Demo-
crats controlled the congressional delega-
tions from California, Connecticut, In-
diana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio,
Rhode Island and Wisconsin. In Illinois
the delegation was evenly divided. In
Indiana the Democrats had 11 congress-
men and the Republicans two.
This brief outline of the conditions im-
mediately following the election of 1S92
will serve to show that the “reorganizers”
could hardly do better by their party than
to put it back to where it was from 1S92
to 1896.
