HUGO'S FUNEKAI/ .
IlCniAL OP THE OHKAT WBITEn ,
PAKIB , Juno 1 , , 10 a , in , Although rain fell
during the night and there was on indication
in the early morning of moro rain to day ,
hundreds of thousands of coplo were nbroid
at daylight , crowding the streets and
boulvarda through which the great proces
sion will move that accompanies the remains
of Victor Hugo to their last resting place in
the Pantheon , The space around Arc do
Trintnpho , already filled with chief officers of
state , members of the diplomatic corpse , sen
ators and deputies. From all directions como
deputations with draped banners bearing flow
era and gigantic wreaths , all moving in
the direction Arc do Tiiompho , the mccca of
France to-day , Chestnut trees In the
Champs Elypoo are in full bloom , aud form a
strange contrast to the veiled lights , draped
banners and vast tea of spectator * , all in
habiliments of mouruincr , which line either
side of the immense field , and brilliant with
uniforms of the soldiers , Lirgo bodies of
cavalry occupy the streets leading to the
Champa Eljsoe , minute guns ore being fired
from the hotel Des Invalidca and from Fort
Valrien.
The crowds are very orderly and at th
hour there IB not a sign of trouble so much
looked for and written about. The soldiers
are Uklng tbo place ; asoigncd them in the
line of procession. I'rains ' laden with visitors
from the provinces nnd abroad are constantly
arriving.
1 P. W. The funeral procjasloa started
punctually at noon. The threatening clouds
of the early morning bed disappeared and the
sun shone brilliantly on the many chariots
heaped with offerings of the people of Franco
which followed the hearse lu the procession.
Enormous crowds are on tha streets that form
the route of the procession , The buildings
are. black with people as is every point from
which may bo had a view of the unparalleled
spectacle ,
1:45 p. m The head of the procession es
corting the body of Victor Hugo to the Pan-
cheon has just reached tbo lodgement of the
illustrious dead. An Immense crowd whlcli
fills Boulevard Michel includes an immonei
number of people who go to move up the dis
turbing noiao element of the city's population.
Now that the funeral is practically over these
roughs threaten to inaugurate a revolutionary
demonstration which has been expected sinc
the death of IIupo.
2 p. m. The funeral oration which M
Floquot delivered nt thoj Are do Tiiomphe
touched the hearts of his bearers nnd was
greatly applauded. The procession is moving
without hitch in its described programme.
The police arrested several bearers of red
flags which were unfurled at starting points
or at the headquarters of several revolution
nry eociotioa There has been , however , nc
eerious collision.
The singing of revolutionary and patriot !
songs by bands gathered beyond the reach o !
the voices'of the oratora interrupted Bomowha
the unity of the eulogies , but beyond thi
there was nothing to mar the beauty nor do
trict from the impressivenejs of the spectacle.
The funeral of Hugo , up to this hour , 3:1 :
p. m. , has been allowed to be conducted will :
every mark of respect. The enormout maesof
of people in the etreeta maintain exceptional
quiet.
At the completion of the funeral ceremonioi i
the march of tli9 procession ended withou t
anything happening that might bo called of >
disorderly character. Accidents incident 3
the presence of such an immense concourse o 3i
people were numeroui and in some instance ; 8

TDK IIION INDUSTRY.
NEARLY ALL IRON SIILL3 SHUT DOWN , THROW
ING THOUSANDS OUT Ot WORK. ;
CINCINNATI , Juno 1. The situation among
the iron manufacturers Is simply that of fol
lowing the load of the Pittsbnrg manufacturers
ors , to act in concert in deciding as they have
done , not only not to sign the scale as pro-
Honted by the Amalgamated association of
iron and steel workers , but also to demand a
reduction from the present scale of wages.
As neither sldo baa yielded and tha contract
year hao expired , nil mills in this vicinity
closed tc-day. There are no exceptional
cases , such aa at Plttsburg and Wheeling
where the demand of the workmen will bo
compiled with , and the shutting down Is
general ,
St. Louis , June 1 , Tin Balloville nail mill
and the Western nail works at Bellovlllo , III ,
shut down Saturday evening In accordance
with the arrangement af rood upon at the re
cent meeting of the Western Nail association.
The new Pittsburg scale hai not arrived in
the city yet , and therefore no action has bson
taken by the manufacturers ,
WHEELING , W. Va. , Juno L Saturday
nipht all Iron and nail mills in the city and
vicinity shut down for an indefinite time. The
owners of the Belleville Rolling mills signed
the scale of the nailers union , but it la un
derstood they will not run. Other mills re
fute to sign either the Amalpnmatod associa
tion scale or the United Nailers scale. Both
sides seem firm and a long suiponsion of
work seems inevitable. The nail tactoriesjn
and contiguous to Wheeling number seven.in
eluding tbo Mingo ( Ohio ) mills with office
hsre , one bar milltwo sheet mills and ono bar
and sheet combined. About 2500 men are
thrown out of employment by the stoppage.
CLEVELAND , Juno 1. With the exception
of the proprietor of the Russia mill at Niles ,
Ohio , none of the iron manufacturers of Ma-
honlng Valley have yet signed the Amalga
mated association scalo. The men employed
at five mills in Youngstown and ono in Gi-
rard quit at 12 o'clock Saturday night , Tha
manufacturers have not absolutely refused to
sign , simply giving evasive answers to tha
men , The men are jubilant over the success
of the association at Pittsburg and assert tha
the Mahoning Valley operators will sign
within a weok. The tiroa in the Russia mill
at Nile's , were lighted last night , and all the
men returned to work ,

in the furnaces of the Calumet Iron and Steo
Co , , at dimming ? , uaar South Chicago , were
allowed to go out and it is understood the ;
are not liiblo to bo rebuilt for some days , per
bans weeks. The abut down n partly owing
to dull times , but is the direct result of the
failure of the employes at their various meet
ings to agree to continue work at the wage
offered them , The company yesterday lai <
off six and seven hundred men , which is abiu
one-half of the mill's full force. Those men
are thrown out of work , but no trouble is an
ticipated aa they are all of first rate character

A STRANGE STORY Of A I1ATTLK WITH "HEAP
DIO INJDN. "
WINNIPEG , Juno 1. Strange's encounter
with Big Boar hag again aroused interest in
the progress of the Indian war. It la fully
expected that Middloton will have trouble
with Big Bear before the latter ia reduced.
Meantime there ia much solicitude for the
welfare of the captives in the Indian camps ,
aa it is hard to tell what the savages may do
with them. Middloton lo't Battleford for
Fort Pitt , Sunday morning with some six
hundred men , the companies being delected
from the Ninetieth Rides , quaon'a own , To
ronto grenadiers , Midland * 'A and "B" bat
teries , mounted police and Boulton'a men
Moro will rrobably follow. Trouble ia re
ported from Medicine Hat. Several parties
of horse stealing Indiana are reported within
twenty miles of that paint.
Two of Stewart's mounted rangers were
fired at on Saturday by a band of Indians
numbering one hundred and fifty. It ia not
known what triba the liostiles belonged to.
Stewart'd force baa gone in pursuit. Part of
the Halifax batallion is stationed as a garrison
at Medicine Hat.
News was received nt Battloford that a fight
between Gen. Strango's force and Big Bear's
band occurred Thursday near Fojt Pitt. Big
Bear's location was discovered on Wednesday.
An advance waa made the following morning ,
The whole of Strango's troops had not yet ar
rived. Ho could only muster three hundred
men. The redskins weie entrenched just
over the brow of a hill and In order to reach
thorn Strange was oblige-1 to cross
a marshy valley. While advan
cing the Indians commenced firing and
the troops were extended in skirmishing or
der , For three hours and a half a steady
fire was kept up from both sides , The troops
had good cover from the enemy. A field gun
did effective ecrvico in driving the Indians
from their quarter , out the number of killed
was not ascertained. Strange's loss is email ,
being six wounded , throe of wliom will dio.
The troops retired in good order to Pitt.
Before the engagement a scow with provisions
on board WAS left in the river , guarded by
thirteen men. After the fight the scow could
cot be found and the men on the scow have
not turned up since. Strange wants rein
forcements and ammunition.
