Canada' * CJrcat State rhan at Rest.
KINGSTON , Ont. , June 13. The re
mains of the late Sir John Macdonald
were committed to their last resting
place yesterday in Cathedral cemetery.
The entire-morning was spent in vie w-
jing the remains in the city hall.
Twenty thousand persons passed the
bier. The procession was the grand
est ever seen , in Kingston. It was
over two miles long and occupi " over
Jorty minutes in passing a given point.
The parade moved at 2:45 o'clock.
At that time three miles of Princess
-street were lined with spectators. [ Not
less than forty thousand persons viewed
"the soieinn advance. The parade was
under civic control. The stores were
closed and draped in mourning. The
-order of the parade was direct from
the city hall along Ontario and Princess
streets to Cataraqui. The pallbearers -
ers were the members of the cabinet
$ nd Hon. J. C. Aikers , ex-lieutenant
governor of Manitoba. The mourners
were represented by Hugh J. Macdonald -
-ald , Colonel McPherson and Joseph
Pope , private secretary. The hearse
was flanked by eight artillerymen ,
who on arriving at the last resting
place took the casket containing the
remains of Canada's greatest states
man and carried it to the grave.
As Archdeacon Jones stepped for
ward in cyclical robes there was hard
ly a dry eye in the largo multitude as
the casket was lowered in its last rest
ing place. The burial service of the
Church of England was read by Arch
deacon Jones , which was followed by
a benediction , and Canada's greatest
.statesman was laid in his last resting
place. The grave was then securely
sealed. The crowd slowly dispersed.
The guard of A battery will remain in
charge for a month.
ISad for t5 e Britons.
CAKI.RAD. June 13. Mr. P. D.
Armour of Chicago , who is here with
his invalid wife , said that he had just
received a long dispatch from Chicago
statihg'that ground had been broken at
'Tolleston , . .Ind. , for the new stock
K
it.
V
yards. Ho said that they proposed to
establish packing houses there. They
will not be so cramped for room as at
the old yards. wliiiMi , he says , are alto
gether out of place in so close prox
imity to the best part of the city of
Chicago. They propose to issue 10.-
000,000 of stock , which they will
divide among the packers and dealers
who follow them. The Associated
press correspondent asked if the other
packers will follow and desert the old
yards. "They cannot help them
selves , "said Mr. Armour.Ve three
( Armour , Morris and Swift ) practical
ly control the business ; the others must
follow. Besides , it is to their own ad
vantage. The old yards in Chicago
are now so high it scarcely pays to do
business there. We shall give accom
modations at more reduced rates. You
see , the old yards , which originally
cost about $1,000,000. were sold sev
eral months ago to an English syndi
cate for $25.000,000 , who want to get
interest on this immense sum , consequently
quently the high charges are neces
sary. "
"But. what will become of these mil
lions when you and all the other great
houses move away ? " said the corre
spondent.
"I am not worrying about English
investors , " said Mr. Armour. "I feel
sorry for them , but I must look out
for my own interests and the interests
of the community first. " Mr. Armour
said there are also sanitary reasons
why changes should be made. In the
new quarters they shall have most
perfect arrangements for proper ex
amination and packing of pork , and
he thinks as soon as Germany is con
vinced of the proper examination , etc. ,
it will allow the importation of Amer
ican norlc.
An \Vorkliiu the Indians.
WASHINGTON' , June 12. Commis
sioner Morgan of the Indian bureau has
received a second letter from Superin
tendent Backus of the Genoa , Neb. , in
dustrial school for Indian children , ex
plaining more fully the situation in
that section as to the employment ol
Indian children in the beet fields.
Backus , owing to the opposition of the
working people about Norfolk , advises
against putting the boys out to work ,
and says :
"Wo have three political parties in
the state at the present time , with
about 70,000 in each party. One par
ty is composed of the farmers' alliance
and the Knights of Labor combined ,
the other two are the republicans and
democrats. I feel sure if we allow
our boys to work in the beet fields , the
farmers'alliance and Knights of Labor
organizations will unite as a party in
condemning our action. "
Commissioner Morgan , in reply ,
briefly reviews the history of the In
dians as a race in this country , calling
attention to the fact that they are
struggling Avith many discouraging
obstacles in efforts to secure for them
selves a livelihood , and briefly explains
the policy of the government. The
commissioner explains that the
" " has been of
"ousting system" great
benefit to the Indian boys and
girls and he greatly depreciates
the action of some of the labor
ing people of Nebraska , in oppos
ing the scheme. He suggests if the
superintendent finds his efforts to se
cure proper employment for the pupils
of his school at reasonable wages are
to be resisted by political parties or
other organized bodies of citizens of
Nebraska , that he report the case fully
in order that the matter may be laid
before congress at its next session.
The commissioner further asks that if
in the judgment of the superintendent
the people are so hostile to the school
in its endeavor to make intelligent ,
independent citizens of its Indian pu
pils , whether it would not be best to
stop all projected improvements , with
a view of closing the school and aban
doning the enterprise. Money , he
says , can be expended to advantage in
states where citizens are only too glad
to have these institutions of learning.
A Kuiiavray Train.
AI.TOONA , Pa. , June 14. A serious
accident occurred on the Pennsylvania
& Northwestern railroad at a point
near Beliwood , which resulted in the
death of three men. A freight train
of thirty heavily laden coal cars left
Lloydsville followed by a pusher. Af
ter reaching the summit the train com
menced to descend the mountain side
at a high rate of speed. The engineer
and crew applied the brakes , but they
failed to work on account of the slip-
ery c onuition of the rails caused by
rain. The runaway train kept on in
its mad flight until a speed of seventy-
live miles per hour was reached. The
trainmen struggled with the brakes ,
trying to save themselves and the
train. At Roat's trestle , which is a
curve , the engine left the track fol
lowed by twenty-nine cars , which were
piled up and broken into all shapes.
A hunt for the missing employes was
instituted. Then engineer , John Si-
monton , was found dead between the
sand box and bell. It is supposed that
he climbed out on the engine to work
the sand box. Fireman Millard Frazier -
zier and Conductor Van Scoyne wore
taken out from under the tender horribly
ribly disfigured. Brakemen Dunn and
Hetrick jumped from the train when
at its highest speed , the former going
over a high embankment was forced
through a stout fence. His escape
from instant death was miraculous.
He only received a slight wound in the
head. Hetrick was not so fortunate
and received a number of injuries , but
none of them of a serious nature.
The standing committee of Maine
met at Portland and voted unanimous
ly against the confirmation of Rev.
Phillips Brooks as bishop of Massa
chusetts. The principal reason as
signed was that he was not sound in
his theology.

WASHINGTON , June 10. Indian Cora-
Eaissioner Morgan has disposed of a
very remarkable question which was
presented by Superintendent Backus
of the Indian school at Genoa , Neb.
Superintendent Backus some time ago
advised the co'himissioner of Indian af
fairs upon the strength of resolutions
passed by the workingmen of Norfolk ,
Neb. , to prohibit for political reasons
the \vorking of Indians in the sugar
beet fields of .the state. Superintend
ent Backus' protestors looked upon the
work of an Indian in the same light as
they would regard that of a convict or
alien. 'Commissioner Morgan says in
his letter to the superintendent that
the Indian is the original American
citizen and has a better right to work
when , where and how he pleases thaa
any other citizen of this country ; that
the Indian originally owned this coun
try and that white people are in point
of fact trespassers upon it. The com
missioner regards' the advice of the
Nebraska superintendent and the
organized labor friends as the most
advanced step ever heard of against
the education of the 'Indian and
the efforts of the government to
make him self-supporting , and believes
that it would better become the Indian
to protest against the methods of those
who object to his labor. Commissioner
Morgan reminds the objectors that the
people around the Carlisle , Pa. , school
are sufficiently civilized to not protest
against the education of the Indian and
says that if the people of Nebraska
desire it he will be glad to transfer the
Indiana from the Nebraska school to
the one at Carlisle , and close up the
former and let the people of Nebraska
themselves take charge of the educa
tion of their Indians. At the Indian
office the suggeestion from Nebraska is
regarded as the most unique of the age
and if it could be framed would doubt
less attract widespread attention at the
world s fair.
The Country' * Wheat Crop.
TOPEKA , Kan. . June 10. The exe
cutive committee of the state Farmers'
alliance , recently in session here ,
closed a contract with Wood Davis of
Sedgwick county to write a number of
articles on economic questions to be
publiseed in pamphlet form for circu
lation among the alliances. He will
write on option dealing , the govern
ment ownership of railroads , the val
ues of farm products and kindred sub
jects. The pamphlets are'to be sold
to suballiances and Mr. Davis is to
receive a small royalty on each copy.
The committee guarantees the sale of
(500,000 ( copies on four pamphlets.
Mr. Davis lives on a large farm near
Wichita. He has made quite a repu-
tion as a writer for leading magazines
both in the Unitea States and England ,
especially upon subjects of arid wastes.
He is a republican. As a statistician
he ranks high.
Regarding the wheat crop this morn-
fng he said to the Times correspond
ent : "In my view the crop of wheat
in America will be above the average ,
the acreage being 1,500,000 larger of
late years. The wheat area in the world
in the eighth decade increased 24-
000,000 acres , which was out of pro
portion to the increase of population ,
the increase in the wheat area being
1G per cent. The increase in poula-
tion was 11 per cent , the result being
low prices the world over , depression
of all agricultural interests , stagnation
in commercial circles , and great de
pression in the value of land as well as
an enormous accumulation of bread-
stuffs. During the nineteenth decade
the wheat area increased by 3,200,000
acres , being li per cent , while the
bread eating population increased 13i
per cent , resulting in the rapid ad
vances in the price of breadstuffs and
an upward tendency in the value of
land. This disproportionate increase
in population and area devoted to the
production of breadstuffs resulted in a
wheat area of fully S , 000,000 acres be
low the enormous requirements of the
breatfeating population being equal tea
a shortage of 100,000,000 bushels of
wheat per annum. In addition to this
enormous shortage of 100.000,000
bushels the growing crop of Europe is
now estimated by European statisti
cians at from 160.000,000 to 250.000.-
000 bushels below the average , making
the probable entire shortage anywhere
from 250,000,000 to 300,000,000 for
the coining cereal year.
The probabilities are that tae neces
sities of the farmers throughout the
world will require them to market a
large part of the growing crop , we may
say three-fourths thereof , during the
first part of the cereal year and this
will result in prices far below what the
statistical situation warrants , but when
the pinch comes , as it certainly will ,
during the fourth quarter of the year ,
prices will advance rapidly and are
likely to reach anywhere from $1.50
to $2 per bushel. In the wheat pro
ducing district of the United States
with such a crop as is promised we
*
should have 120,000,000 busnels for
export. But the shortage of the grow
ing crop in France being officially esti
mated at 90,000,000 bushels and the
tropical island , Central America and
Eastern Asia annually taking about
20,000,000 bushels of our wheat , we
should have but little if anymore than
enough to make good the deficiency in
\
the French crop , and as the remainder
of western Europe is certain to grow a
crop of 15 per cent below the average ,
it is , absolutely certain that the product
of the coming harvest will be 250,000-
000 bushels below the world's needs.
All Europe west of Hungary arc im
porters of bread stuff.
Communities In Nebraska.
SrmNGFiKi.u. O- , June 10. Hon.
John W. "Bookwalter , visiting here ,
said :
lam on iny way to Nebraska ou
an especial mission. I have always
believed that the United States farmer
leads a lonesome and dismal life. He
lacks the pleasure of intercourse with
others socially , and for the purpose of
consultation and comparisons. His
ideas are not whetted to the keenness
they might have. My theory is one
which I have seen operated with great
advantage in France , Germany and
Switzerland. The formation of farm
ing communities , a small village , for
.example , centrally located in the midst
of a series of farms. The tenants
work their lands by day and return to
their community at night then there
is a chance for evening recitation , for
the brushing up of ideas , for discus
sion as to the advantages or disadvan
tages of this or that theory. You can
readily see the benefits of this plan , as
one butcher , one baker and doctor can
do all the work in their respective
lines. I am going to build a large
number of houses for my tenants in
my town of Bookwalter , Neb. , and try
the experiment. I am convinced that
it will be a success. 1 shall volun
tarily build a large town house and
establish an agricultural library. I
think the plan is ideal. It combines
all the advantages of city and country
life , a little town not big enough to
have any of the vices , a peaceful rural
community. " Mr. Bookwalter owns
60,000 acres in Nebraska.

Creeds Crumbling.
ST. Louis , June 11. Under the
head of "Creeds Crumbling" an eve
ning paper quotes Rev. Frank G. Tyrell ,
pastor of the Central Christian church
of this city , as saying that all the signs
pointed to a dissolution of orthodox
creeds. Mr. Tyrell , in sermonizing ,
pointed out forcibly the dissension in
regard to matters of belief and faith
which iave shaken the Protestant
church , and from this drew conclusions
that the creeda are crumbling and will
ere long disappear He cannot , he
says , accept ; the belief of the trinity of
Jesus , and asked as to why he believed
that the Protestants' creeds are falling ,
he replied that one had but to notice
how the teachers of the gospel are de
manding the right to make their own
deductions provided that they acknowl
edge the divinity of Jesus.
The effect of Dr. Tyrell's statement
is as if a bomb shell had exploded in
the midst of the orthodox ministers ,
and everybody is discussing the stand
taken bv the reverend gentleman.
Expelled for Hero * } ' .
PiTTSBUur , Pa. , June 11. The sensational -
sational trials of the six young minis
ters of the Reformed Presbyterian
church ended yesterday and the synod ,
by a vote of 95 to 37 , expelled five of
them from the church. The charges
against them were scandal , libel and
following divisive courses in declaring
in favor of the right of franchise.
Their names are : Revs. E. M. Milli-
gan. J. R. J. Milligau , W. II. Reed ,
W. T. C. Samson , J. C. K. Milligan.
Rev. A. W. McClurkins' appeal was
sustained , and R. B. Burnett , the stu
dent also charged with heresy , has not
yet been tried. Immediately after the
announcement of the vote all the sus
pended ministers left the church. They
were met on the outside by several
ministers of the United Presbyterian
church , who extended to them in an
informal way the right hand of fellow
ship. The scene during the vo'ting
was very exciting. The verdict was
not unexpected and several ministers
notified .the synod of their intention to
follow the young men.
The thirty-seven who voted against
the suspension of the young" men , this ' .
afternoon presented a paper of dissent
from the action of the synod and asked
that it be spread upon the minutes.
Rev. E. M. Milligan was the first to
catch the eye of the moderator after
the announcement of the vote. He
said : "Jn view of the fact that this'
synod has found me guilty of scandal , j I
libel and divisive I
following courses , ! (
therefore appeal to the bar of an enlightened - '
lightened Christian conscience and
place myself on trial in the Mononga- I
hela presbytery of the United Presbyterian - ' '
terian church. " He was followed by
the other suspended ministers. ,
