Fnr.MoNT. O. . .Ian. 'JO. Taps have been
rounded , the bugles have l > ecn blown , the
beautiful good night reveille has been
sounded and all that is mortal of Ruther
ford U. Hayes , sleeps beneath a mantle of
Know by the side of the devoted companion
of his life.
Thn ceremonies of the day were such as
bellied the typical American citizen , soldier
and statesman.
The simplicity shown forth in his life was
marked in his obsequies. No eulogy was
said above him. that was left forptho future
to pronounce , and all who know the man ,
the father and the statesman , unite In say
ing that It has been wisely so. The pure ,
upright life and generous good deeds which
drew so suddenly to a close Tuesday night.
have nothing to fear from the verdict of on
coming time.
In some respects the occasion was ono of
the most memorable in American history.
The only remaining ex-president , soon to
again aHSUine the mantle of responsibility ,
stood beside the bier of his dead friend and
wept In sorrow for him. The two men had
some notable qualities In common , and of all
public men few were more sincere mourners
than Grover Cleveland , who came and went
without ostentation. A great crowd had
gathered at the depot awaiting his arrival ,
but the word wisely passed around by the
citizens ] committee prevented any cheering
or dlspliiA there , aim he left as quietly as lie
camo.
In u City of Mourning.
This is a cityof mourning. Biisl-
ncss Is suspended and the schools
nro closed. The morning dawned
bright as the unostentatious life of the illus
trious dead. The temperature during the
night fell to 5 = below , and every
thing was white with frost in the
morning light. The oaks about the family
mansion at Spiegel drove shone in the sun
shine , every twig with its tracery of frost
looking like delicate wax. The frost on the
broad veranda was picturesque and beauti
ful beyond description. It seemed as if even
harsh winter had donned a charming robe in
honor of the distinguished man whose re
mains wore soon to be berne to the tomb.
All tin' forenoon thousands passed in pro-
resslon through the chamber of death to view
lor the last time the well known features of
the ux-prcsidcnt. At 0 o'clock the
school children of the city marched in pro
cession , with the national flag at the head ,
past the bier , followed by the civic societies
of Fremont.
Everything in the wide , sunny dining
room , in which the remains lay , was In keep
ing with the simple life of the departed
statesman. The plain cedar casket , cov
ered with black cloth , rested In the center
of the room , with no decoration except three
palm branches tied -with purple ribbon. The
silver plate Ijorc simply the insi-ription :

On Ihe breast rented the decoration of the
commnndcr-m-chiuCof the Loyul Legion' , and
on the left lapel of the dress coat the decora
tion of the Army of West Virginia. Across
the window scut in the south end of the
room stretched a large American flag , held
in place by bunches of while and yellow
robes and wreaths ol heliotrope.

Among tint lioral pieces none were more
admired than the of the

General Hayes was a member. It was a

"Finis " The roll below
was composed of

President-elect Cleveland arrived at 11 : ! ! 0 ,
two hours late. A largo number of people
gathered at the depot to ueo him. Ho was
driven at once to the Hayes residence. Ho
expressed himself feelingly on the death of
General Hayes , between whom and the
president-elect there was a w.irm friendship.
The presence of .Mr. Cleveland was a tribute
ton personal friend. It was Mr. Hayes' in
tention. had ho lived , lo be present at Mr.
Cleveland's inauguralion next March.
Mr. Cleveland's dignified and manly hear
ing was Iho subject of general praise , and
his tribute to General Haves. In making the
long Journey to honor his character anil life ,
won for him many friends. Although It was
not wished , many citizens , repulieuns as
well as democrats , called upon him t the
home of Congressman llnyno * . with whom
he took tea , to thank him for his coming , and
scores crowded about his private car before
It left for the cast at 11:110 : a. in.
Only the serious threat of personal Illness
kept President Harrison away , and his
regrets were as keen at his enforced absence
as were those expressed on every hand by
the family , friends and public .
src'iu-H In tliu City.
It was a beautiful day. The bitter cold
and frost of the morning was followed by a
milder temperature in the afternoon and the
troops and crowd accordingly suffered less
llninlmd been expected. Thousands thronged
to catch a last glimpse of Ihe dead ex-presi
dent. All morning people poured in from
the surrounding country in sleighs and thou
sands came on trains from Columbus , Clove-
land. Toledo and surrounding cities.
Battery D of Toledo , which , with redlined -
lined caps thrown back over their shoulders
of blue , formed one of the most picturesque
features of the parade , fired the morning
salute.
Thi ! Sixteenth regiment , Ohio National
irnnrds , came in by companies during the
forenoon ami Iho cavalry troop of Cleveland ,
splendidly mounted , arrived at noon.
From early morning the throngs passed
through the largo dining room , where the
perfume of the rose and heliotrope lloated
like an incense above Iho bier of Iho illus
trious dead. At U o'clock came the trooping
children of Fremont , the national banner at
their head , to take a parting look at the
venerable face they had long revered and 1 ,
loved , and then a continual proces
sion of friends and acquaintances
from all p.irts of .northwestern Ohio.
Old soldiers looked for the last
time at the loved commander gone before
them to the silent lenthig grounds of fame.
Scores who had felt his kindly help in
times of need or who had known the en
couragcmont that could come in kindly
words from him , were among the passing
thousands and many a tear was shed and
husky words of sorrow and regret were
spokeu by those who had known him long as
neighbor and friend and loved him well. One
needed only to stand and watch the many
manifestations of sincere sorrow over the
bier to gain an appreciation of the character
of Ihe man such as words cannot convey.

Al 2 o'clock Iho remains were berne Intc
the wide front hall and amid the funeral
hush of the crowded rooms , Rev. J. I.
Albrllton of the First Methodist church be
gan the simple ( services with the reading ol
the beautiful third psalm. The hymn ,
"When Peace Like a River , " was then
' .sung by Mrs. Fred H. Dore of Fre
mont , assisted by Prof. Alfred Arthur
of the Cleveland Conservatory of Music anil
a double quartet from Cleveland , consisting
of Misses Garler and Brenner , Mr * . Pau !
North , Mr. and Mrs. ICllinwood and Messrs
Jenkins , Howell and Preston. It was the
fourth time Mrs. Doro , who is a warm
friend of Iho Hayes family , had sung Ihoro
on like occasions. The familiar words were
rendered with exquisite expression um !
beauty.
President J , W. Baehford , D.D. , of the
Ohio Weslcyan university at. Delaware , foi
lowed with a fervent prayer.
The singing of the hymn of dedication
"God Bo with You Till We Meet Again , '
was tender and beautiful in Us phrasing
and touched all deeply.
The services closed with the Lord's prayer
repeated in unison. One might live a life
time and never witness such a scene as tha
which was beheld when all , with one accord
bowed their heads and Joined in the simple
prayer of child and old ago in strong am
reverent tones. President-elect Clovelam
and Goveror McICinley , sitting side by side
humbly and devoutly lifted their voices with
the rest. It was more solemn and impressive
than any sermon , and more than ono pair of
eyes w.is dim when the amen was said.
The banners of Iho commnndorics of the
Loyal Legion of Massachusetts and Ohio
hung above the casket side by side with
Iho American flag. There was no oilier
decoration In the hall or parlors.
A great crowd had gathered about the
house and gazed Into Urn windows during
the services nnl ( as the doors were thrown
open and the casket borne out , the infantry
required a little time lo clear the way ,
March to tint ( iravu.
Colonel Henry C. CorblnU. S. A. , who was
a warm friend of General Hayes , had full
charge of the arrangements from the time of
his arrival very early this morning. Ills
Judgment and forethought were excellent
and everything moved off without a Jar.
The Cleveland city troon had the place of
honor at the head of the procession , and Us
line bearing was universally admired and
praised. The battery followed , with the idn
fantry regiments , and members of the gur-
risjns of veterans just preceding the r-J
and hearse.
The exercises at the pretty little cemetery
wore very brief and simple , hut the grouping
of figures rendered It indescribably solemn
and Impressive. The Hayes lot , marked in.v >
a simple granite monument , not over eight
feet in height , Is about sixty rods from llio
enlruniv. A few evergreens Maud near It
and trees are numerous throughout the en
closure , which contains about twenty-four
acres.
Around the grave were the cavalry troops ,
with the red capped artillery men In yellow
and hluo in the background , and on the op
posite side the regiment of infantry , lo
all about and everywhere were lo
anxious to witness the last sad duty lo te
dead. Thousands walked the mile at
separates the Hayes homestead from
the cemetery and hundreds of well
dressed women , ns well as men ,
waded in snow slxtren Inches deep and stood
In it some minutes so as to get as near as
possible to the grave. The picturesque uni
forms of the soldiers , the more somber dross
of the civilians , the brighter costumes of the
ladles wilh the bare Irccs nliove and Iho
whlto robe of snow below , combined lo frame
a picture In the paling light of the after
noon that will last as long as life in the :
mliulsof nil who saw it.

WAIHINOTON , D. C. , Jun. 20. Dr. Ains-
vortb , who by a special act of congress has
> een placed In charge of the record and pen
sion division of llio War department with
the rank of colonel , and who Is entrusted
vlth Iho entire administration of pension
nailers so fur us ihey relate to army
ccords , wns examined yesterday before the
subcommittee of the house on the question
of transferring the whole pension system to
the War department. His evidence was
racy. Speaking of the suggested transfer ,
ho said : "So far as 1 am personally con
cerned I nm opposed lo It. It quadruples
the labor nnd responsibility. But whether
you make the change or not , one of the first
things you ought to do is lo straighten out
the affairs of Ihe pension ofllee. There is
the office which , of all others , ought to bo
conducted ns nearly like a private business
concern as possible. It bus hud the most
unbusinesslike methods , and there is one
very good reason for it. No commissioner ,
whether the , present ono or the new ap
pointee of President Cleveland's , can bring
order out of chaos there , because ho has no
authority to Keep order , and to discipline re
fractory or worthless employes.
"You can set this down as a rule , with u
few exceptions , that the more worthless a.
public employe is the greater the amount of
influence lie possesses. A good man is usu
ally a man without Influence , but a drunkard ,
a loafer or insubordinate triller Is the man
who has so much influence that the chief of
his bureau cannot get him out. All he can
do is to recommend the reduction or dis
charge of the employe. By the time that
recommendation reaches the secretary of the
interior it has lost all the force and effect it
ever had. "

WASHINGTON , D. C. , Jan.0. . It can bo
said that there will bo no vote on the anti-
option bill before next week , and possibly not
before next Tuesday. The senate's sudden
adjournment forced another postponement
and Mr. Washburn , In charge of the bill ,
said that ho would not ask for a vote to-
morrow but would give another
day and possibly two for debute.
When Tuesday comes ho will nsk
that the senate remain in session
until the vole is taken. The opponents of
the ' bill will not indulge in dilatory tactics.
Ono of the leaders of the opposition said that
they would not leave the field of legitimate
opposition. It is apparent they do not hope
very strongly for success. A conservative
view of the situation would lead to the eon-
elusion that the George amendments will bo
voted down ,
The .Snentliiff SjMti'm
The house committee on manufactures to
day adopted the report of the committee
which inquired into the s wealing system. The
report is a voluminous document , embracing
all of the testimony taken by tho'committee ,
and u careful analysis of the suggestions
that have been muuo looking to a correction
or amelioration of the great evils resulting
from the workings of Ihe system. The com
mittee inclines to favor the use of tags on all
articles of clothing , by which they can bo
traced to the place of manufacture , the pro
hibition of intcrstalecommercein such goods
as are made under unhealthy conditions and

A dispatch from Duluth that n Unltei.
States judge had held the Chinese exclusion
act unconstitutional has caused some discus
sion , but no alarm , among the friends o
that measure. Senator Powers said if there
was anything wrong with that measure thej
would see that the defect was remedied.
Mr. Geary thought the decision was wrong
and would not stand. Senator Fclton was
of the opinion that if the Chinamen were
not excluded from the west a question wouli
arise that would put the labor troubles In the
east In the shade. It was a serious muttei
with far western people , and if this law was
insufficient something stronger would have
to bo forthcoming.

_ , It is now quite generally believed that
Charlev McCoy and Barney Sullivan , the two
anli-Poltigrew lenders In South Dakota , are
backing several railroufl bills which are ob
noxious to the railroad companies. The story
lias been told how these politicians manipu
lated the selccllon of u speaker and secured
Ihe appointment of a railroad committee com
posed mostly of farmers and men who were
known to favor some sort of railroad legisla
tion. Soon nfler Iho commillce was ap-
poinlcd a number of. railroad bills were intro
duced. After. ' their Introduction these
leaders | thousJit tlip committee was favor
able to tholr being'vcpoctda and look their
departure for home.4 IHrrlng their absence
the ' railroad lobby has be n doing some good
work nnd the tulle dt railroad bills being'
passed died out later. Messrs. McCoy ana
riulllvun no. .doubt' learned of this , and
Tuesday they ' both arrived in the capital
again and hft'va been seen buttonholing
numerous incmbcrsi since. The only theory
advanced why these politicians should bo
bucking the railroads is that they propose to
IKJSO as the farmer's friend hereafter , nnd
hope by this manner lo gain political pres
tige. It is also a well known fact that the
men who are lobbying in the interests of the
railroads are Petligrew workers , and Ibis
may add zest lo their scheme to work
through some legislation unfavorable to the
railroads.

legislative muddle is anticipated until the
day ( Tuesday next ) sot by law for the elec
tion of n United Stales senator. The popu-
lisls will lake no action before that time
upon which Ihe republjcans can base legal
proceedings and Iho republicans will , in the
meantime , do nothing ! On next Tuesday
the populist tenators will meet in Joint ses
sion with the populist house and the repub
lican senators will meet In Joint session with
the republican house. 1'wo senators will bo
elected nnd both will probably bo democrats.
The populists will.elect u democrat ,
probably Judge John Martin .of Topeka ,
who was responsible for the denio-
pnpuliat fusion at the lute campaign ,
because Ihey believe his' chances for recog
nition by the federal senate will bo good.
The republicans will elect a democrat , probably -
ably either A. A. Harris of Fort Scott , or
Bailey VViiggenerof Atchlson , because they
cannot get a majority on joint session with
out the aid of live democrats and Ihoso live
will support none but.a'democrat.
The populist house to'day dec ;
contests against memlicrj sitting on the re
publican side and gave the populist contest
ants their seats. This STBS done so that the
election of a United States senator by the
populists shall not depend upon the votes of
contesting members. The other four con-
Icsls will be similarly disposed of tomorrow.

ho preferred not lo mention names , as neither

dark was being waged principally in the
French press.

"To those who know the fuels , " continued
Xborowski , "it is all so ludicrous from ono
point of view. Lawyers say our case in
volves . a nice point of Inlcrnulional law , and
has possibly no precedent. That is their
business , but to my wife and myself every
thing is as clear us daylight. Look at the
divorce obtained by my wife and contrast it
with the methods employed on the other
side. In Soulh Dakola the defendant fought
tooth and null , mid api > calcd after Judgment
had been given against him. Then he with
drew the appeal nnd went to Ihe Dulch
court. My wife , of course , took no slops to
defend Iho action.
The llrst decree was
quite sufficient. Did you read the evidence
before Iho court ? It did not leave the de
fendant a leg to stand on.
"What line of defense will bo taken in the
present case I have no Idea. Ever since my
wife fell ill 1 have been ns closely confined to
thohouboas her ; my chief occupation has
been reading aloud so that she will not
fatigue herself by speaking. Accordingly
I have had no chance of hearing anything.
The defense may ho based on the Dutch de-
.crce or on any diplomatic prerogative of the
defendant. Whatever it may bo it is all the
sumo to my wife and myself. Wo are en

Corrlentes is growlmr steadily worse and It
may yet lead to serious complications for the
federal government. The government troops
are acting In a most lawless manner , ranches
are burned by them , people robbed anil
women maltreated. Near Mercedes they
destroyed the cstancea of a Spaniard and
killed the residents. The rovolutlonlsls are
organizing into small bands of guerrillas and
are Httlo behind the Goblernistas in making
reprisals.
Anarchy reigns throughout the state.
The revolutionary chiefs declare that the
interventors favor the government party. In
Buenos Ayres the newspapers denounce the
outrages as a disgrace to the republic , and
demand that the government put a stop
to them. Dr. Alem declares that a
presidential crisis is imminent , and
that the people will not much longer
stand the barbarous cruelties , and ihat
the radicals will Join the .people of Corrl
entes. The Spanish minister demands Im
mediate attention to Iho claim of his gov
ernment for reparation for the outrage of a
Spanish citizen nt Mercedes , and threatens
to buck up the demand with force If neces
sary. Owing to the failure of the Chilian
j congress to puss the appropriation bill the

city determined to hold a procession toim- .
i > ress upon the authorities and citizens the
dire poverty which is ulllieting the working
lasses.
At an early hour men began to gather
from all parts of the city. After great con
fusion , the line was started. No estimates
Imvo been made ns to the number partici
pating , but In view of the crowdJt. was
fortunate that they had no lire arms. As a
matter of course , the socialists had much , if
not all , to do with Ihe procession , and when
it started many men began to sing socialist
songs.
The procession passed through u number
of the principal streets , growing noisier and
more demonstrative as It was found the po
lice did not interfere. Finally Iho mob
stopped In front of u large- bakery and at
tempted to take Ihe place. The police were
alert for something of thls.sort uml u number
of them were quickly on the scene and pre
vented Ihe loollng of Ihe shop. The police
allowed iwo men to enter the bakery to ask
for bread. They demanded food and met
with a prompt nnd decided refusal. They
then retured to the street and the mob
inarched on , yelling , shouting and threaten

Finally the mob became so disorderly that
a body of 200 police attempted to disperse it.

with drawn swords , charged the crowd nnd
indicted many sword cuts on the rioters.
The procession was finally broken up , but
even then isolated batches of the rioters
continued lighting for hours. The leaders of
the mob were captured by the police.
The affair has caused much excitement In
the city , and it is feared further trouble will
occur. It is generally believed that the
socialists are making cuts' paws of Ihe idle
workingmcn , whoso condition is bad enough
without getting into tights with Ihe gen-
garmcs. By their riotous conduct of today
they have forfeited much of the sympathy
that was felt for them.

'rain to Tin : Bni : . | The result of tifllay'a
ballot In Joint session has brought forth a
wall from some of the men who are supposed
to bo near Paddock , and they nro claiming
that he has been made the victim of treach
ery and base ingratiiudo.
They charge that several of the prominent
candidates have oomn into the light after
having led Paddock to believe Ihat ho was
their first and possibly only choice , nnd Unit
they would not enter the race as Uutg as ho
was in it. These statements are not maao
b.\ Paddock himself , hut they come from
some of his ardent
supporters , and are re
garded as representing to some extent the
feeling of the leadlin. ' republican candidate.
What the developments of the next ballot
will be can only bo surmised , but it Is pre
dicted by some that
Paddock will try a
spurt. If he could hold his present force ho
could probably show forty votes , but it Is
claimed by some of the rival leaders that
whenever ho attempts this some of those
now in line will sli.le from under. They
lalin they have il In their pjwcr to break
up the Pnddo-k following and that this will
bo done whenever ho attempts to uncover
-such . , strength as he may have been holding in
reserve up to Ihis lime. U is stated that ho
has been voting the greater portion of his
men all along , and Ihat ho has none to spare
for strategic maneuvering.
Oilier l.llllo llnoiiK.
The plan of 'campaign ' seems to have been
emanating from the Thurston headquarters ,
and was mapped out liy some of that gentle
man's ablest generals. The plan con
templates the dropping out of the men now
voting for Paddock , so as to a little more off
set such gains as he might otherwise bo able
to show. As treachery is rampant this will
not bo regarded with surprise by Ihoso who
are watching the situation. The Thurston
boomers say Ihat if their leader can com
plete his flank movement before Crounso
gets his men into buttle Thurslon will bo
nomioated , but there is a strong Crounso
undercurrent that bids fair to develop about
Thursday , and repeat on Thnrston the re
duction iproccss that Is now being used to
force Paddock off the field.
The Majors boom means nothing so far as
n senatorial possibility Is concerned , as his
following is estimated at fifteen votes at the
outside. The height of his ambition is to bo
governor , and ho is only in the field in order
to avail himself of any opportunity that
may offer to assist in getting Crounso out of
the gubernatorial chair. *

The sudden change hi the independent
situalion was duo lo Iho effdrts of Vander-

sire of each of the republican candidates lo
be pitted against McICeighan , and , In order
to get him 'arrayed against them the see
saw process was employed to got Powers out
of the way , just as Thurston is quietly un
dermining Paddock.
It will probably take about a week to
polish off each candidate , and , burring acci
dents , the light will last until the lust of
February if not later. It is conceded on all
hands that no attempt will bo made at legis
lation until the light is out. This is ono of
