INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 18 —
In the center of a hollow square com
posed of fullv 15,000 of his fellow cit
izens. the remains of Benjamin Harri
son were yesterday afternoon interred
in the family lot in Crown Hill ceme
tery. Close iiy the grave were the
members of Ins family, President Me
j Kinley and other visitors of distinc
tion and the more intimate friends
of General Harrison. Back a dis
tance of fifty yards behind ropes,
guarded zealously by a large force of
police, stood with uncove:ed heads a
great multitude.
Of passionate' grief there was little
beyond the members of his family,
i but the tribute of respect was univer
sal. It came from all alike; from
,. those of his political faith and from
, those who differed with him concern*
I ing what is best for the nation's good;
from men who have been his lifelong
friends and from those who knew
him merely by sight and to whom he
never spoke. it came from women
and children, from white and black,
from all conditions and kinds of peo
ple.
The weather, like that of yesterday,
was unsurpassable, with the warm
breath of spring in every breeze, and
yet in the air a touch of winter.
The services at the church and
grave were simple in extreme, all in
most excellent taste, and like the pro
t oeedings yesterday there was an utter
absence of friction in everything that
was done. All was well ordered and
well performed.
At the Harrison home before the re
mains weretanken to the First. Presby
terian church, where the full funeral
I service was held, there were brief ex
ercises for the members of the family
■ and more intimate friends of General
Harrison. Possibly 150 persons were
| present. Mrs. Harrison did not np
| pear, but remained Ln her toom until
i it was time to leave for the church.
President McKinley, accompanied
by Governor Durbin, called at the
house about 1 o’clock. At about the
same time came the membe's of Pres
ident Harrison’s cabinet, and others
continually arrived until the short ser
vices were over. The people sat in the
I parlors, filled the halls and a number
sat on the stairs while Dr. Haynes
read a short passage from the scrip
tures and made a few remarks touch
ing the life of General Harrison, as did
Dr. Niecol of St. Louis, and after a
brief prayer by Dr. Haynes the serv
ices were over.
The florist's wagon backed up to the
front of the house and a few of the
larger pieces were loaded into the ve
hicle preparatory to being taken to the
‘ church. Word was then sent to
Mrs. Harrison that tho time had come
for the body to be removed to the
fechurch and she at once cr.me down
from her room into the parlor. There
pas a few minutes of bustle, whis
kered directions by the undertaker
■end his assistants and a marshaling
| of the honorary pallbearers into a
I column of twc«.
Services took place at the church.
Mr. Haines advanced to the front of
tiie pulpit platform and, resting his
left hand upon the large church bi
ble, opened the service by saying:
“I am the resurrection and the life.
He that believeth on Me. though he
; were dead, yet shall he live, and he
1 that liveth and believeth on Me shall
never die."
After the prayer the choir rendered
the hymn “Rock of Ages.” This was
General Harrison's favorite hymn and
it is said it is the only one he ever
attempted to sing.
After the services at the grave were
over and the people had left, carts of
| earth were unloaded at the graveside
and the tomb filled and flowers placed
over all. As the people slowly left
the cemetery the distant boom of can
non, firing the national salute, came
to their ears, and by the time the last
gun was fired, the night was down and
the grave alone.
Six masked men held up a College
k Hill car In Wichita, Kansas, and shot
* the conductor who resisted them. The
bullet passed through the conductor's
body and he is in a preeai ious con
dition.
WILL COACH THE HAWAIIANS.
Agricultural Department l'lanalng to
Establish blund Experiment Station.
WASHINGTON, March IS.— Jared
Smith, who has been in charge of the
offices of seed and plant introduction
in the department of agriculture, has
been directed to start in a few days
for Honolulu to establish an argicul
tural experiment station there.
As director, his first work will be to
teach the Hawaiian people hr ,v to
grow garden truck. Most of the veg
etables now consumed in the island
are imported from San Francisco.
They will he taught also the value of
dairy cows among poor families, but
ter and cheese making, the forage
plants most economically produced for
Hawaiian consumption and the value
of poor families raising chickens and
pigs.
This agricultural missionary work
in the interest of the common people
of the islands will be essayed before
other agricultural problems will be
considered. There are 200 acres, run
ning from the coast to the top of a
mountain, set apart by the Hawaiian
legislature for this purpose. These
matters will be given attention near
the coast, coffee raising will be stud
ied on the higher elevations and for
estry work will be done on the moun
tain tops.
Regarding agricultural experiment
work in the Philippines, Secretary
Wilson said today:
■“Congress will not appropriate
money for experimenting in the Phil
ippines until the people there have
quieted down. Then the departmnt
of agriculture will lie ready to conduct
researches: in fact, the green houses
of the department here now have
plants growing for shipmnt there as
soon as conditions are ripe. Among
these is rubber, seeds of which an
being brought from all parts of the
world for sending to the new islands
under the American flag.”

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, March
18.—(Via Haytien Cable.)—News has
reached here that the United consular
agent at Barcelona, Venezuela. Mr.
Ignace Balz, has been arrested by Ven
ezuelan officials and imprisoned with
out adequate cause. This is the sec
ond time he has been treated in this
fashion within the last five months,
and he will resign unless protected by
the Washington government. It ap
pears that several sums of money
have been forced from him by Vene
zuelan officials under threat of im
prisonment.
The protest of Mr. Baiz to Wash
ington seems to have resulted in no
response thus far. Three months ago
Mr. Loomis, the United States minis
ter at Caracas, made a demand on the
Venezuelan government for an apol
ogy for the first outrage, but his com
munication was quite ignored.
CORNED BEEf REALLY NEEDED.

WASHINGTON, March 18.—'The j
German meat inspection law, absolute
ly prohibiting the importation of
American corned beef, sausages, etc.,
which went into effect some time ago.
has made no friends, according to a
report received at the state depart
ment from United States Consul Died
erlch at Bremen. The ffuv has been
the object of very severe criticism ni
Germany, according to the consul, and
one of the most pointed arguments
against its avowed purpose of pro
moting public health, because the re
sultant high prices on meat lessen its
consumption, while the health of the
German nation demands an increase.

American Troops Instructed to Withdraw
From China Next Mouth.
ONLY LEGATION GUARD REMAINS
CliufTee and Kntire Command to Go«
Leaving lint 150 Men—This Will Prac
tically End Occupancy by American
Troops.
WASHINGTON, March 16.—An or
der was sent to General Chaffee today
for the evacuation of China by Amer
ican troops, leaving only a legation
guard of 150 men. The troops will be
removed from China the last of April.
The dispatch to General Chaffee in
Pekin is as follows:
"Adjutant General's Office, March 10.
—Chaffee, Pekin: In reply to your
telegram secretary of war directs you
complete arrangements to sail for Ma
nila with your command and staff offi
cers by the end of April, leaving as le
gation guard infantry company com
posed of 150 men having at least one
year to serve, or those intending to
re-enlist, with full complement of offi
cers, medical officers, sufficient hospi
tal corps men and, if you think best,
field officer especially qualified to com
mand guard. Retain and instruct
officer quartermaster's department to
proceed to erect necessary buildings
for guard according to plan and esti
mates you approve. Colonel Charl°s
F. Humphrey on arrival will make an
inspection of quartermaster's depart
ment, Philippine islands, until July 1,
when he will be assigned to duty as
chief quartermaster at Manila and
Miller ordered to the I’nited States.
All stores and supplies not required
for legation guard to be disposed of
in your best judgment, of course.
Serviceable supplies needed in Philip
pine islands will be sent to Manila. Di
vision of the Philippines will furnish
supplies for legation guard. MacAr
thur notified. CORHIN."
It was said at the war department
that this clears up the Chinese situa
tion so far as the war department is
concerned, as the protection of the le
gation can in no sense be taken as an
occupation of Chinese territory, and
the guard cannot be used for any other
purpose.
The transports Sumner and Indiana
will Ik* sent to Taku to take the troops
In China to Manila. These troops con
sist of the Ninth infantry, four troops
of the Sixth cavalry and the light bat
tery formerly commanded by Captain
Reilley. Two transports will bring
away the 1,100 animals which have
been used by the army in China.
General Chaffee has advised the de
partment that the best place of em
barkation is Taku, which no doubt
will be clear of ice on the date fixed
for departure.

the limits of railway property in the
Russian concession, and the guards of
the two nations are in ( lose proximity
to each other. The British have been
strongly reinforced and trouble is im
minent unless the Russians retire.

THE LATE DAVID BROWS I

OffP APPRfCIATION OP 1HP LOSS
A Krave, True. Hood and <ien#*rou» Man
— A M an of Many \ irtue* and Exalted
Character—MUcH lancotis Matter* Here
and There In Neb rank a.
LINCOLN, Neb., March 18.—Resolu
tions on tlx* death of Representative
Brown of Otoe county formed a special
order of business in the house of rep
resentatives a part of one day. Spec li
es in eulogy of the late representative
were made by Messrs. Evans, Cain,
Hanks, Sprecher and Loomis. The
principal address was by Cain, who
said in part:
1 hail never met the late David
Brown until the opening of this ses
sion of the legislature, when he ap
peared here to represent the people
who had reposed their confidence in
him some yasr eago. and who last fall,
after an Interval of thirty years, again
called him from private life to repre
sent them in this branch of the legis
lature.
His was a fearless heart and his a
brave soul, lie never forgot a friend
nor did he ever hold malice toward an
enemy. In the short time I have been
intimately acquainted with him 1 have
never known a purer heart, a more
generous nature or a firmer friend.
But now out friend, our neighbor,
our fellow legislator is seen no more
among men. His work is done. His
labors are ended; his task is finished;
his chair is vacant. He lias no more
part, or lot in the deliberations of this
body and his ears are deaf to the
sound of the speaker's gavel.
No more for him the honors of th
state; no more for him the endear
ments of family: no more for him the
load of care or the sigh of sorrow; no
more for him the beauty of spring, the
splendor of summer, the glory of au
tumn or the majesty of winter. Flow
ers will bloom upon his grave, storms
will beat upon it. morning will greet
it with her earliest light, night will
cover it with her stars, hut all by him
w'ill be heeded not while he sleps that
last long sleep that knows no awaken
ing, and time will commingle his dust
with Mother Earth from which he
sprung; but his soul—the immortal
part—has taken its (light to the Celes
tial Home above, "to that house nor.
made with hands, eternal in the heav
ens.”
As it has ever been our pleasure
while he lived to bear testimony to his
many virtues, his exalted character,
his unswerving fidelity to friends and
principles and the faithful perform
ance of the many trusts confided to
his care, so now that lie has been
called to everlastingness in that high
er and better life, it is still our pleas
ure to speak in praise of his virtues
and in honor of his memory. So well
did he discharge the various duties as
signed him, so exemplary was his ion
duct. that those who knew him liest
always delighted to honor him, and
now that he is gone and we will meet
him on earth no more, we. his col
leagues In the house of representatives
of the Twenty-seventh session of the
Nebraska legislature, enshrine his
memory in our hearts and render this
tribute as a memorial of our affection
and esteem.
What David Brown was here in the
legislature he was elsewhere—a brave,
true, good, guileless, kindly, generous
mail—who brought cheerfulness to his
daily work: whose greeting was al
ways a smile and who was ever ac
tive. quick and alert, and who hail
everlasting convictions that "God looks
to pure hands, not full ones.”

ground. Ten head of horses confined
in the basement of the barn, a larg >
amount of grain and numerous wagons
and buggies were consumed, involving
a loss of $10,000, partly covered by In

The fire started from the explosion
of a lantern In the hands of Arthur
Dunham, an employe of the firm. Ho

ascribe no reason for the explosion of
the lantern, for it came without any
warning. Dunham escaped without in

Antone Ohoutka, a young man em
ployed In the Burlington blacksmith
shop, dropped dead while on his way
to work. He left home apparently as
well as usual, and his lifeless body
was found soon after by some of tile
friends at the corner of Eleventh and
Main streets. Heart disease Is sup
posed to have been the cause of the
young man’s sudden death.

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Onotatlons from South Dinah*
:iuil Kansas Cltv.
SOUTH OMAHA.
1 nlun Stock Yards—<'attie—There was
a light run of eatlb and as a result there
was considerable competition among buy
ers The few beef steers offered met with
ready salt* of good, strong prices ns com
pared with yesterday. The demand on
the nart of packers seemed to he quite
liberal and in order to get what they
nevded they paid considerable higher
prices In gome cases for tin* more desir
able kinds The commoner cattle also
moved more freely than usual, so the
pens were cleared at an early hour. The
cow market was in much the same con
dition as the trade on steers. Buyers
were all anxious for supplies and Jumped
In and bought up what was offered early
in the morning at good, strong prices.
The cattle seemed to change hands about
ms fast as they arrived and all kinds
brought very satisfactory prices as com
pared with yesterday's quotations. The
lightweight hulls also sold in good shape,
ai fully steady prices, but. the same as
has been the case for some little time,
the heavyweights were hard to move.
Prices on that kind were only about
steady. Veal calves were in good demand
and sold strong. The same could he said
of stags.
Hugs I here was a v ery light run of
hogs here today and as the demand on
the part of packers was in good shape
the market opened generally 10c higher.
The range of prices was from $<">.,V-l2 to
$5.00, with the long string at $5.55. The
choicer and heavier weights sold at
$5.57K and as high its $5.60 was paid for a
Ianc\ load. The market was fully active
ami the hulk was sold In good season.
Today s advance carries the market not
only to the highest point reached thli
year, but tu the high point since Sep
tember. 1894.
Sheep The supply of sheep today was
not excessive and the demand was equal
to the occasion There was not much
change notieeuhie In the prices paid for
ewes and wethers and the market could
best he described by calling it a good,
steady market. Lambs, however, were
in good demand anti the market gener
ally a dime higher than yesterday. As
high as $5.20 was paid today, which, con
sidering quality, was just about 10c high
er than yesterday's market. It was a
faith active market all around and the
hulk of the offerings were sold in good
season.

AGAINST PLATT AMENDMENT
Culm'* Commit t«>«' on Foreign Relation*
h to Oppose Acceptance.
HAVANA, March 16.—The commit
tee on foreign relations held another
private meeting this afternoon. Se
nor de Quesudn, one of the members
says the committee agreed unanimous
ly that the Platt amendment in its
present form could not be accepted
anil that a report to this effect would
be submitted to the constitutional con
vention. He also asserts that the com
mittee is assured of the support of
twenty-eight delegates.
Monday next the committee will

o.i the question will be filed, to be
incorporated later into the final re
port. The intention of the commit

the determination of its members not
to accept the Platt amendment as it

UNCLE SAM HAS GOLD A PLENTY.
Amount In Treasury Swells I'utll It
ItrenkN All Records.
WASHINGTON. March 16.—The
gross gold in the treasury yesterday
amounted to $482,913,023, compared
with $416-,218,209 at the same period
last, year. Yesterday’s figures break
all records. The increase in the gold
holdings of the department during the
year has been $66,694,814.
At the department, it Is said, the
prospect is that the gold holdings will
loutinue to increase at the rate of
probably $5,0(10,000 a mouth until the
new revenue law goes into effect. Tke
amendments to this law will reduce
the treasury receipts, it is thought,
about $40,000,000 a year, but Treasurer
Roberts thinks that this will only serve
to check the growth of the gold hold
ings, but does not think the decrease
in the receipts will diminish the gross
gold.
