The Full Number TV New Ye If the President means by earing for the Confedera te dead that national eemeteries shall b ?! provided for them aa in fthe-case of t *e Union dead of the war, then the question, Where are the Confederate dead? becomes one of vital importance. So does another: How laany Conf?d?r?es died aud were killed daring the civil war? . The official returns of death losses in the Confederate armies on file in the war department in Washington are incomplete and unsatisfactory. Nearly all the rolls of Alabama troops are missing, and those of none of the States are complete. The actual ox- : tent ol' their losses by disease and easushies in battle must ever remain a matter of conjecture. The losses in the Union armies from the complete pay rolls, according to the original tabulation supposed to bave been ac curately kept, were subsequently forge)?? increased in the item of "kill- 1 ?d or ? ed of wounds," based upon the pap?is officially known as the "final statements,'' and through the investi gation of pension claims. This tabu lation, as finally revised and correct ed, shows that those who died of disease in the Union armies were in the ratio cf two to one of those killed in battle or died of wounds. That is to say, 109,639 men were killed or died cf wounds, while 224,586 Union sol diers died of disease. Almost immediately after the war was over the national government set on foot measures to identify its vast anny of dead ?a so far as it was possi- j hie, to collect the remains in national cemeteries and mark their graves. Seventy-sis cemeteries were establish ed throughout the Union, which in cludes one in the city of Mexico, Where the dead of the Mexican war are collected, Northern and Southern lying side by side in that far off ceme tery. The majority of these beauti ful cemeteries, carefully cared for and upon which large sums of money are annually expended, are in the South-, ern States. But thousands of the . Union dead lie buried in the North, | where they died in hospital and while j at home on sick leave. In nearly all , eases the government owns the ground? and all the improvements are of a lasting character. There has been an \ endeavor to erect grave markings which would last for ages. In these cemeteries the soldier's grave is mark ed hy a small marble block projecting about a foot above ground, sometimes with his name carved upon it, bat generally it merely carries a 'number, and in a book in the superintendent's charge there is a corresponding num ber, with the dead man's name oppo she, or the sad word "unknown." Now, this great work of collecting, identifying and marking thc burial .places of the Union dead was begun immediately after the war, when it j was easy to come at every source of information concerning these deceased soldiers, yet it is a shocking fact that out of a total of 360,207 Union dead "the graves of 139,495 are marked un known, notwithstanding the great-fa- j eilities then existingforidentification. 1 Of 33,520 Union negro soldiers I 'buried in the?e cemeteries 20,505 are j unknown. Under such favorable circumstances if more than one-third of thc Union I dead had to be marked unknown, j what will be the result of any system- j atic attempt to collect and mark the I graves of thc Confedetatc dead, thirty- ! five years after thc war? Probably hardly one-tenth of the occupants of thc graves found could with any de gree of certainty be identified, besides which the burial place of thousands of the Confederate dead in the nature of things; cannot be found at all. More than 50,000 Union men, killed or died of disease, were lost entirely, and are not carried on these cemetery rolls as j either known or unknown. These figurer are appalling, yet it is easy to .comprehend their magnitude in view of all the circumstances-the war's length, wide theatre and numerous battles and skirmishes in dense woods and broken ground, it is likely that thc proportion of Confederate dead , considering their inadequate facilities j of all kinds for caring for the sick in j hospita) and wounded OD thc battle; j field, completely lost to all ken, would i be fully as great as the Union figures, .although their losses were considera - h ly less in the aggregate while greater I in percentage owing to tho fact that ! such a great proportion of Union j regiments were never in hattie, nt ?il. [ Therefore, in case 6? afsystematic j effort to care for *,he Southern dead as j the'Union dead were eared for, should . the President's suggestion conten? plat? such a scone, the question, ! Where are thc Confederate dean? ?s Hum?s a deep significance lo any national participation in the bare of the Confederate dead lt in more than likely that thc character of the undertaking wili he similar r.o that tn connection with the Union dead- but (?wing to the lapse of time the results will be far'lese ftn'tifcfhotor? for the Cafton jnv?n. ERATE DEAD. ill Never be Known. \rk Sun. Col. Fox, in his valuable and pains taking book on ''Regimen.al Losses in the Civil War," says that a sum ming up of the casualties of battle and all uinor engagements-using official reports only, and in their ab sence accepting Confed?rate estimates -indicates that 94,0d0 men in rouud numbers were killed or mortally wounded on the Confederate side dur ing the war. That the aggregate mur-t have been fully this number is made plain by the following official figures from incomplete official Confederate j rolls on file iu the War Department ut Washington. I Died of Died of State. Killed. Wounds. Dtt-ease I Virginia. 5,328 2 519 6,947 ? N.

The only States where the figures approxi mate to fullness are North and South Carolina. Those familiar with South ern war statistics are confident that the Virginia killed and died of wounds exceed that of any other State except perhaps North Carolina, yet her losses in this compilation from the incom plete official returns are but little more than half those of the small State of South Carolina. The official records of the war show conclusively in the running reports that Alabama lost in killed and died cf wounds fully 15,000 men. The records of battles do not show that South Carolina lost in killed and died of wounds such a disproportion exceeding the other States, excepting North Carolina. Her troops fought very well, and sometimes lost heavily, but the losses of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana Regiments were certainly as great if not greater, besides which most of the States named, together with Virginia, had a greater number of Regiments engaged in most of the great battles. But enough is shown in this table to confirm the official records quoted by Colonel Fox, showing that the Confederate killed and died of wounds numbered fully 94,000. Of course the statement of the ag gregate that died of disease is far below the total. If North Carolina lost 20;602 of her soldiers by disease it is hardly credible that Georgia, furnishing approximately the same number of troops, lost only ."1,702 from the same cause. It is probable, as has been stated by high Southern authority in recent years, that thc Confederate losses from disease ap proximated closely to 125,000. The Confederate dead, like the Union, lie buried on battlefield from Gettysburg to thc mouth of thc Rio Grande and at all the prison depots throughout the North. A few of their dead have been exhumed here and there and removed by their friends, but there has been no general care of the Confederate dead like that which characterized thc Union policy. In some of the principal battles o?" the war. selected from all thc various theatres, the gallant Confederates made the following losses in killed outright, the figures not including those who afterward died of wounds : Battle Killed. Bull Run (first Manassas.. 387 Fort Donelson . .

The Horse as Motive Power Must now Give Way te Air. The days of the horse in large cities are cumbeied. The horse must go. A big corporation, headed by Joseph Leiter and Richard Croker, has been formed to establish a compressed air motive power t-ysteni, aud trucks, carriages aud every form of wheel vebic e now drawu by horse will be operated by the new motive pc er system. Mr. Croker explains the plans and purposes of this company in the New York Jourual. The Jour nal says : Richard Croker smiled blandly and rubbed his bauds together in a genial way when asked yesterday if it was true that he was at the head of a many million dollar scheme to exploit com pressed air as a motive power iii New York city. "Yes,'" he replied, "Joseph Leiter's iuformatiou to the Jourual ou that poi ut is a solutely correct. 1 am one of the iucorpora tors of the New York Auto Truck com| any, and we intend to do a gen eral trucking business iu New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City and the suburbs adjacent to those cities. 1- thiuk 1 can safely predict the doing awa;- with the present methods of trucking by the use of hor.-es. "We shall give the present truck men an opportunity to join our enter prise, and will make this company a corporation owned by the people of our city. "In my opinion the horse as a pet, for pleasure driving, speeding pur poses, and as a play toy in general, will for all time hold a place in the affections of mankind, but for busi ness purposes-the carriage of freight, passengers and dray age along the wharves and piers and in the streets of our cities and larger towns-he must recede before the advance of civilization and the requirements of the present inventive age. ''As population becomes more dense, while thc business portions of our communities cannot, for obvious rea sons, readily be expanded, the public welfare requires a relief from the con gestion of the streets, and that every possible measure be taken to aid in the sanitation of cities. In the sub stitution of auto-trucks and vehicles for the work horse 1 believe we have found a great aid in the solution of these vital problems. 'Self-propelling vehicles will allow the city of New York to bc one of the most beautiful cities in thc world, as the pavement can then all be asphalt ed. The removal of the horses will also obviate the wear on the pave ment. "Thc new plan will greatly facilitate the handling of freight and will relieve the congestion of the streets; it will also create a field for organized labor. "It will remove the dilapidated buildings now occupied by stables and hamshackle storage buildings, which will bc supplanted by fine, elegant, fire-proof structures. "Thc carting of coal in Greater New York, while representing an annual expenditure of $7,500,000, is only a small part of the enormous amount expended in New York for thc hand? ling of freight and goods. "Our New York Auto-Truck com pany is composed of solid business and mechanical men. Thc incorpora tors are Senator Arthur P. Gorman, ol' Baltimore; Nathan Straus, propri etor of the R. H. Macy & Co. store, New York: Lewis Nixon, designer ol' our navy, president of thc East River Bridge commission, and also propri etor of the Crescent ship yards, at Elizabeth. N. .).: Joseph ll. Headley, owner ol' thc Hoadley-Knight com pressed air system, now being installed by the Metropolitan Street Railway company on their cross-town lines, and myself. "Mr. Headley is the president of the company. Wc incorporated yes terday in Now Jersey at $10,000,000. j Thc sum is only intended to repre sent :i capitalization sufficient to prop erly organize the business, after which thc necessity will require a large in crease of capital. "The New York Auto-Truck com pany will use compressed air as its motive power. Thc Internationa] Air Power company, owned by the Leiter Rothschild syndicate, will do the manufacturing for the company at their Providence and Worcester shops. ; W. H. Knight, formerly chief engi neer of th?: General Electric company, has been appointed chief engineer of both these companies. Mr. Knight is also chief engineer of thc American Air Tower company, of New York, owned by the Whitney syndicate. "George S.Graham, district attor ney of Philadelphia, and Henry W. Kine of Worcester, Mass., are thc counsel oj' our organization, and Judge Augustus Van Wycfc will be general counsel o? tlo- compauy." Asked if the new concern would coudnct i cab system, Mr. Croker said as he looked out of the Ocmocratic club window ?ind pointed at two scm rying automobiles "Those cabs will not bc in it with I those wc will run with compressed air, 'and our cabs will be noiseless, too." j .Mr Croker'.? company and the in ] ternational Air Power company w<*re incorporated at the same moment, at Trenton. They are so closely allied as to bc regarded practically as one company. The originator of the j double scheme is Joseph Leiter, of ; Chicago, the noted wheat manipula tor, who has also bought the foreign I rights to the patents of the American [ Air Power company, and has an am bitious scheme for revolutionizing passenger and freight traffic in the big European cities. With Mr. Leiter in the power company are Robert I. McKinstry, Joseph H. Hoadley, Wil liam Knight, Harry E Knight, all of New York, and Edwin F. Glenn, of Philadelphia. The province of the power company will be to manufacture motors under the Hoadley-Kuigbt patents, of which there are more than 200, whiie the Truck compauy will devote itself to operating various vehicles. It will not concern itself with street cars in New York, as the rights in that re spect are owned by the Metropolitan Street Railway company. An air power plant is just being completed and it is expected that air cars will be running ou the Thirty-fourth street Hue within a mooth. It is asserted that compressed air as a motive power has been shown to be absolutely successful. Iuventors have worn out their lives for nearly a quarter of a century in endeavoring to perfect an air motor of real value, and many have been put upon the market herc and abroad. Investiga tors foi street railroad companies have until now refused to believe that practical results had been attained. If all that is asserted in favor of the new power is borne out, it is pointed out that the greatest revolu tion in this respect in history is at hand, and that the change to follow will modify the whole aspect of the big cities, create new industries, broaden many now existing and bring about the expenditure by capitalists and others of many millions of dollars in every city of any consequence. An Old Squirrel Story ??ewly Dressed. It wasn't many Saturdays ago that a number of gentlemen standing upon the street at Greensboro discussed fox hunting, bird hunting and kiudred sports. Each one had tola a story, remarkable in a high degree, when thc climax was reached by one of the gen tlemen who told the follwing story: "Coons !,: said he with a sneer. "You don't know anything about coons in this country. Why, you ought to go to southwest Georgia. I lived there once, and my favorite pastime was coon hunting. Early one morning I started out with my dogs for a hunt. The morning was damp and heavy, and we hadn't gone far before the dogs struck a trail, and away they went. How beautiful it was. Through the underbrush they rushed, crashing, barking, the sounds coming to us like low music on thc open air. It wasn't many minutes before the long howl of the leading dog told us that he had treed. 11 We put out after them, going through the swamps, and down into the canebreak. There we come upon the dogs all clustered about a cypress log. They smelled it, and then all started back as if they didn't know what was to pay. We drew near and endeavored to urge them on. Dut they wouldn't urge. We went up to tho log, and it seemed to be moving. I didn't know what to make of it. The sides of it rose and fell as regular as the beat, of a eloek. Wc finally eut into it and there it. was packed with coons. We killed 110 and 1 don't know how many got away." :What made the log move ?" inno cently asked a bystander. "Oh, plain as day. The coons were packed so close that every time they breathed the log would expand.' There was a ghastly silence and thc crowd moved away. "lt wasn't a good day for coons, either' ' he yelled after them, and put ting :i frosh chow of tobacco in his mouth he walked rapidly iu the dircc tion ol' thc "Cotton Bourse' on Wall street, and in a moment more was buying the lieecy staple with a serene and unmoved countenance.- Grcem horo ( (Ja. ) Herald.

He says : '.We are always told that the coun tries of the foreign devils are grand and rich, but that cannot be true, else what do they all come here for? lt is here that they grow rich. But you cannot civilize them ; they are beyond redemption. They will live weeks and mouths without touching a mouthful of rice, but they eat the flesh of bul locksand sheepin enormous quanti ies. That is why they smell like sheep themselves. Every day they take a bath to nd themselves of their disa greeable odors, but they dc not suc ceed. Nor do they eat their meat cooked iu small pieces. It is carried into the room iu large chunks, often half raw, and then they cut and lash and tear it apart. They eat with kuives and prongs ; it makes a ci vi 1 i z ed being perfectly nervous One fan cies himself iu the presence of sword swalloffers.

A sensible, civilized person does nothing without due con sideration, but these barbarians hurry with everything. "They certainly do not know how to amuse themselves. You never see them enjoy themselves by sitting quiet ly on their ancestors' graves. They jump around and kick balls as if they were paid to do it. Again, you ..ill find them making long tramps into the country, but that is probably a reli gious duty, for when they tramp they wave sticks iin the air, nobody knows why. They have no sense of dignity, for they may be found walking with women. They even sit at thc same table with women, and the latter are served first. Yet the women are to be pitied, too. On festive occasions they arc compelled to appear almost naked before every man who likes to look at them, and then they are dragged around a room to the accompaniment of thc most fiendish music. - There will be five eclipses this year, two visible and three invisible.
