l'rayers were said as the proces

by the distant crack of snipers rifles
in various parts of the grief stricken
city.
The cortege was bank'd by a line
of Dublin guards marching in slow
t ine with the muziles of their re
volvers protruding from the hol
sters, A detachment of civic guards
in blue uniforms followed.
Immediately behind came an ar

U. P. Places Order
for 80 Engines
of Latest Types
55 Locomotives, Designed in
Omaha, Are Powerful
Machines To Be Used
on Crack Trains.
In the face of the present busi
ness uncertainty, the Union Pacific
railroad last night announced the
placing of an order for 80 locomo
tives to cost $5,500,000. - Fifty-rWe
pf these engines are of a new de
sign and will be the most powerful
high-speed locomotives ever built
The design was made by the Union
Pacific mechanical engineering staff
in Omaha, The remaining 25 will
be of the heaviest type of locomo
tives now in use, but will not be as
powerful at high speed as the
Omaha designed machines.
Some of the new high-speed lo
comotives will be placed in service
between Omaha and Denver and
will make the run between these two
points without change. The present
runnine distance of an ordinary lo
comotive is 150 miles, as compared
with a running capacity of 500 miles
or more of the newly ordered en
gines. Other new locomotives will
be' placed in-service between Salt
Lake City and Los Angeles, Chey
enne and Ogden and on the Oregon-
Washington lines in Oregon.
Work on the new locomotives will
begin immediately, and delivery will
be made in October and November.
As soon as the locomotives are
completed thev will be placed on
the Overland Limited, Los Angeles
Limited, Qmaha-Colorado Special,
Oreeon-Washington Limited and
other crack trains of the system.
The new locomotives are intended
to haul heavy transcontinental
trains at a speed of from 50 to 60
i;vles an hour up grades over which
locomotives now in use make but 25
to 3d miles per hour.

From midnight last night crowds
had been gathering at the north quay
to witness the arrival of the Classic.
Scenes typical of the nation's sorrow
marked the progress of the coll in

Regular officers draped the plain
oak casket in the tree stale colors

The dead general's charger was led,
riderless, alongside.

Former President
of China Looks to
America for Aid
Sun Yat-Sen Would Have
United States Take Over
Debts to Europ on
Refunding Baoif.
Shanghai, Aug. 25. (By A. F,)
Sun Yat-Sen, former president of
China and later of south China, who
ha been leading conferences here
On plans to reunify the country, out
lined a plan to rehabilitate China's
finances by having America take'over
China's debts to European countries
on a refunding basis, as part pay
ment of European debts to the
United Slates.
In making known his suggestion,
Sun flatly declared that he could not
see his way clear to go to Pckin and
assist in reorganizing the govern
ment unless some satisfactory
financial program was mapped cjut.
He frankly admitted tbat he looked
to the United States as a strong fac
tor, in aiding China in its struggle
back to solvency as a nation.
Political reunification of the coun
try is impossible until China's chaotic
finances are reduced to a semblance
of order, the southern leader said.
"Reunification is illusory unless
there is an efficient government at
Pckin, capable of bringing a flow
of provincial revenues into the fed
eral coffers," Sun asserted.
. "Establishment of such a govern
ment is not practicable without res
toration of the country's solvency.
Before Tckin began defaulting on
foreign loans it would have been dif
ficult but not impossible to effect
reunification first and reorganization
of the finances aterwards. Now.
however, this is out of the question."

Sea Monster.
Hay SnriiiKs, Neh Aug. 24. An
effort is to be made to capture the
so-called sea monster reported to
inhabit Alkali lake, six miles south
cast of here. That such a monster
exists is not doubted in this vicinity,
and recent reports added to those of
last year when the monster first made
its appearance, have stirred the peo
ple to action.
A large wire drag is being pre
pared for the purpose of dragging the
lake m an effort to capture the mys
terious aquatic inhabitant of the lake.
Large fossil beds m tnis vicinity
which show that western Nebraska at
one time was the home of prehistoric
animals of almost every ecological
age, lead some to believe that possi
bly the sea monster that niiiauits tne
lake south of liere 19 some age oia
animal that was left .behind in lje
oroccss of evolution. People over
the surroundinK territory will be no
titicd of the exact date and time that
the attempt is to be made and it is
expected that the shores of the lake
will be lined with thousands ot inter
cstcd spectators.

Conferees Begin Work
Upoh Tariff Measure
.
Washington, Aug. 24. Shelving!
the American valuation question for
the time being, at least, the six re
publican conferees of the senate and
house began their task of composing
the 2,436 differences between those
two bodies on the administration
tariff bill. The valuation question was
discussed only briefly and there was
no indication when it would come up
for a decision.
Members of the conference dis
closed, however, that the American
valuation as originally written into
the house bill, was receiving little if
any consideration. The plan under
discussion was the basing of ad
valorem tariffs on the wholesale sell
ing price of the imported article in
the American market. Adoption of
this plan was urged on the conferees
by Senator Oddie, republican, Ne
vada. He said it would remove the
administration difficulties presented
by the original proposal and at the
same time prevent "abuses" growing
out of the under valuation of im
ports. Resolution to Oust

action authorizing the president to
assume control of roads and hard
coal mines, pending a settlement of
the labor controversies.
The president, as far as known, baa
not changed his policy outlined in hi
message to congress, which demand
ed that the law be enforced tn the
strikes, but recommended no legis
lation relating to them.
May Change Policy.
Today' enate debate, it i be
lieved in ome quarters, might re
sult in a change of administration
policy, should the strike continue.
At the conclusion of the debate tne
government owoerJhip issue was put
squarely tip to congress when !sena
tor Walsh, Massachusetts, demo
crat, formally introduced a resolu
tion directing the president to take
over the coal mines.
The senate debate began when
Senators Calder, New York, ind
Walsh. Massachusetts, called atten
tion to the prospect e heir constit-
ucnts freezing tm winter. X hey
advocated the taking over of the an
thracite mines. Senator Lcnroot,
Wisconsin, having in mind the dearth
of fuel supplies in the northwest, sug
gested that the time had arrived for
taking over both the railroads and
the anthracite mines, pending a set
tlement of the strikes.

declared congress ought to look the
existing emergency squarely in the
eye and should make it a crime to
strike and tie up transportation or

Senator corah, Idaho, chairman
of the labor committee, said that even
If congress acted to the full limit of
it powers under the constitution, it
could not deal adequately with the
situation and declared that it was up
to the governors of the various states'

Miller ot New lork, convene their
legislatures and have measures
passed to meet the emergency with

Say People Will Freeie.
Senator Calder, who led off the
debate, warned the senate that un
less coal was obtained within the
next 60 days "people will freeze to
death this winter."
'Unless this situation fs relieved
within a short time, there will be
bloodshed in the larger cities," he
said. "A desperate situation con-
ironts us. is tnis government lielp-
,rs ' " emergency of this kind?
Do we lack the power or capacity to
adjust the situation; shall we stand
idly by while disease and death
threaten us?
"The time to act has arrived.
These men must settle their differ
ences; they should be told they must
agree upon an adjustment forthwith.
Forty-eight hours is sufficient notice
to them and if they fail to open up
the mines it will be the duty of this
congress to give the president full
and complete authority to take over
Ihe mines and operate them to their
full capacity for the benefit of the
American people."
