Members of Iho Koyal Families of Jinny Kuropcan Monarchies Pres ent KltiB Frederick to Attend. Uitrlnl of Germany's ICIttR. HBIIMN , March 10. The funeral of Em peror William took place to-tiny. The weather WBB again extremely cold and the trooi > s , who were ranged four deep along the route tnkcn by the funeral cortege , wore heavy clonks. The low tcmperuturo had no appar ent effect upon tlio people , nnd hundreds of thousands of spectators occupied the spnco behind the soldiers , whllo wcry window along Unter den Linden was crowded. All the houses on the thoroughfare wore covered with mourning nnd exhibited lings wlthblnck drnpery. At the street crossings mnsslvo pillars drupccl with black nnd surmounted by Prussian eagles had been erected. The Inmp- ! Kst8 wore covered with crape , nnd nt every fifty. paces there wore largo eundlebrns , bcur- ing flaming crescents. The route of the funeral procession pre sented n most Imposing aspect , entirely in keeping with the dee ) ) sorrow nnd reverence of the people. The funeral service took place In the cathedral In nccoidanco with the programme. Emperor Frederick was not present , the weather being too severe to per mit of his exposing himself. At 12:45 Dr. Koegel pronounced the bene diction , whllo nt the same time volleys wcra flrcd by the Infuntry on the outside. The cathedral ceremony closed with the Hinging of "Holy , Holy Is the Lord. " The proccs slon to escort the kaiser's remains to the mausoleum then began to form. Prince Bis mnrck and Von Moltko were not present at the service in the cathedral , nor did they take part in the procession to the mau soleum. The cathedral presented n most solemn nnd Impressive appearance. When the soft organ prelude began the court cham berlain and ministers took positions behind tabourets bearing the empire's insignia. Gen eral Von Papo , holding the imperial stand ard , stationed himself at the head of the cof- lln , Count Uehndorf nnd Prlnco Kadziwlll , the late emperor's aide-de-camp , with drawn swords , standing on cither side of him , nnd the adjutant general and other aides-de camp standing together at the foot of the coflln. Whllo the organ still played the roy alties entered , Prince William arriving at noon. Ho stood in the middle of the nave , behind the imperial standard. Alongside ot him wore the king of Saxony , king of Bel- glum nnd king of Roumanla. Close by stood the grand duke of Baden , Princes Albrecht nnd Henry nnd other princes of the royal house of Prussia , the prince Imperial of Austria , the prince imperial of Russia nnd Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas , of Russia , the Princoof Wales , the crown prince of Italy , the crown prince of Denmark and the crown prince of Greece , nil in the uniforms of their respective coun tries. The prince of Bavaria , Grand Duke of Hcsso nnd other notables and foreign repre sentatives , including General Billet , of France , nad his suite , formed tbo next rows in the nave. The diplomatic pew was crowded. The scene wns truly memorable when , amid the strains of the flnal chorus and the sharp rattle of the volleys outside , twelve regi mental commanders slowly and reverently raised the colllm from its resting place , mov ing forward with it on their shoulders to the principal door. Before them walked n high court ofllcl.il. On either side of the coflln wcro the min isters of state , bearing on cushions the imperial crown and sceptro and other In signia. Above the coflln waved the Imperial standard , berne by General Von Pope , nnd On cacti side of him walked an ofllcer with drawn sword. As the coflln reached the door the drummers of the military bands outsldo beat a deafening tattoo. Whllo the procession was forming the bands played Chopin's "Marcho Funobro , " the sounds of the tolling of the church bells mingling with the strains. The formation of the cortege occupied some time. but was effected in an orderly manner in rigid accordance with the official programme. The conspicuous absence of the emperor and Count Von Moltko and Prince Bismarck wns deeply regretted. Thin wns the only prominent change in the nr : rangoments. The procession wns In every way worthy of the occasion. The military display was magnillccnt , though boinbro. Tins morning the French general , Billet , placed on the coffin a pupci'b garland oi roses , violets and cnmollas. Wreathes wore also contributed by delegates from Moscow , Kioff , Amsterdam , Rotterdam and other for eign cities. Wending Its way over the cnstlo bridge nnd through Unter den Linden tno proces sion reached Brandenburg gaton few minutes after 2 o'clock. After Unter den Linden pre sented an extraordinary spectacle , like the gloom of night nt mid-day , everything was black houses , pillars and ( lags. In the midst of this intense sombrencssof color glimmered the palo light of lamps veiled With crape. The strangest effect came from the flaring light of pitch torches , throwing over the scone a glare that was temporal by the smolto of the torches , blown by the wind. In the Sieges Alloo the procession halted. The ordoc of the procession was now changed , the guardo do corps assuming thi ) place of the escort and oOIcers of lower rank relieving the pall bearers. The coitego then moved on wind Until It reached Char- lottcnburg. At 11:15 : o'clock the remains wcro received nt the maubolcmn by the pastor of Chiirlottcnburg. Chaplain JCoogel then read n , prayer iind closed the Bolomn service with u benediction. The mem bcrs of. the Imperial family nun other mourn' crn then withdrew , the generals taking farewell - well of their dead master by placing their hands , as if In ealuto , upon hU cnflln. Salvs of artillery announced that the ceremonj was over. From the window of a salon overlooking the park the emperor watched the procession Ho remained III the same spot until the close of the ceremony was announced by guns Tie | Empress Victoria and princesses at tended the service at the mausoleum. The emperor was greatly grloved because he was not allowed to attend the funor.il The physicians had to entreat with him ear nestly for a long time. Whllo the cannot were llrlng ho utood silently listening ant watching at a back window. As the coffin passed the window ho covered his eyes will his hands and burst lulu tears.

[ Special Telegram to the BEE. ] The socialists produced last night in Uoumnnia hall n play which they have been preparing some time. It was costumed with elaborate care In mimicry of those in- ton cd to bo represented. Part of the char acters were Judge Larrett , Barrett ; District Attorney Bellows , Fellows ; Captain Hil- liams , Williams ; Jake Harp , Sharp ; etc. The lirst scene represented Harp on trial in Lar- rett's court for bribery , When convicted and sentenced ho demanded a stayof a fowweeks that ho might arrange his private affairs. The Jndgo obsequiously tells him ho can have as many weeks as ho wishes. The next case is that of Mary Pinch , n poor girl , starving , charged with stealing bread. Her case Is , of course , railroaded through and she Is given eighteen months in the pen. During the progress of her cast District Attorney Bui- lows complains to Captain Hilllams that his testimony Is not as decided as it should bo , whereupon Hilllams replies "all right ; I'll swear to anything you want mo to. " The next case Is that of a man charged within- citing a riot In Union square. Ho gets no show at all In the court and is convicted ami sentenced to twenty years at hard labor. Just at this Juncture the prisoner begins to loudly sing the Marseillaise , and ominous sounds are heard outside. Bellows nnd Hilllams look affrighted and hurriedly leave the court room. Then the door is burst In nnd an armed mob , headed by valorous ofllcers in red coats and carrying red banners , drive Larrett from the bench. This ended the play. The audience , which was largely composed of typical anarchists , cheered to the echo. Then ox-Editor Sorgius Schovitch stepped before the curtain and after n few words about the play , added in a vague manner , that while ho did not wish to peer Into the future too far al present , the signs of the times portended thattho people would see in reality and in much leas peaceful manner the scenes which had been portrayed on the stage.

THE TWO BULLION BILLS , Internal Revenue and Tariff Both Expected Next Wo ok. SOME OBJECTIONABLESECTIONS. A Strong Sentiment In tlio District of Columbia in Favor of Klcct- Ing Antl-Clovclnntl Delegates. , Internal Kcvcnuo nnd Tariff. WASHINGTON BUKEAU TiiuO.MAnA BKE , ] 518 FouiiTnRNTitSTunnT , > WASHINGTON. D , C. . March 10. | Both the Internal revenue and tariff bills will likely bo repoited to the house from the committee on ways and means next neck nnd the final debate begun by the llrst of April , if not earlier , so as to dispose of them by the middle of May. Tlio committee to day passed upon all of the internal rev enue bill except two sections relat ing to the administrative features. Browne , of Indiana , and Burrows , of Michi gan ( republicans ) , voted with the democrats against Kelly's motion to nbollsh the tax on cigars. The republicans object to the feat ures In the bill which glvo the Judges so much authority over-pilsoncrs under arrest for violations of the law and the provision pro hibiting the destruction of Illicit distilleries , which provisions they declare to bo directly In the interest of the moonshiners. It is bo- llovcd the internal revenue bill would bo passed by the house with slight amendments if it was kept separate from the tariff. Dur ing the course of the meeting to-day Gcnor.il Browne offered an amendment to the bill and nil the republicans voted for it. Mr. Rocil rcmaikcd with some pride that the republi cans wcro voting together again. "Under the leadership of Mr. Browne , " put in Mr. Breckonridge , of Kentucky. ' Oh , " said Mr. Reed , "I voted with Mr. Browne to show that wo are together again. I do not know what his proposition was. " "I can always depend upon you to vote right , " said Mr. Browne , addressing him self to his colleague from Maine , "when you don't know what you are voting for. " WASHINGTON OPPOSED TO CUJVKLAND. It is openly announced by the leading democrats in the District of Columbia that delegates hero to the St. Louis convention must bo selected from men who will oppose President Cleveland's reuomination. Moro interest is taken in the approaching mass meeting to select delegates than was over shown before , owing to the intense feeling against the administration. The date for holding the primaries has been changed to an earlier day than was originally agreed upon , so ns to defeat the efforts of the federal ofllceholdcrs who are trying to sot up the election. This evening's Critic says : "Tho names of William Dlckson , James L. Norris , Lawrence Gardner nsd others are prominently men tioned and all have hosts of friends. A gen eral sentiment prevails to select delegates who are against thq administration , and for that reason it Is said that men whom the president has seen lit to "sit down" upon will bo selected for the purpose of showing him that they nro the leaders of the district democracy and that his appointments hero have nnd Uo not accord with the sentiment of the active democrats of Washington. It is not at nil improbable that n resolution de fining the sentiment of the District demo crats in regard to the appointments of out siders to district ofllccs will bo adopted. " Till : lILOCKADi : 11AISCD. Several car loads of mail arrived this morn ing from New York , the accumulation of live days. It Jillcd two or three largo rooms and was so cumbersome that the clerks at the postofllco did not know how to begin to handle it. For the llrst time during the week the Now. York papers arrived at 11 o'clock nnd those of this morning , too. Trains are now running regularly between here and Now York. Dhcct telegraphic communication has been opened to Now York also. The train which arrived from the metropolis this morning was four days on the road. The passengers say they passed trains stuck in snow drifts in Delaware and New Jersey , and that all the passengers were playing cards and taking it easy. Some had loft the trains , however , and gone over the country in sleighs. CLEVELAND CLINGS TO nUFFALO. Something more than a year ago it was an nounced that President Cleveland's legal ad viser in Buffalo had sworn off his personal property tax and had stated under oath to the assessor of that city that the president no longer considered himself a resident of Eno county. It is not known whether or not this was authorized by the chief magis trate , but it was at oncu seen that the action was extremely unwise , for no sooner was the announcement made than Buffalo people renewed their hostil ities towards the president. Wow it seems that Mr. Cleveland has "tacked , " and is en deavoring , through his friends , to convince the country that he is still n citizen of Buf falo. During the past week a number of leading Buffaloans have visited Washington , nnd naturally they are nearly all democrats who have shown such n disposition as to an tagonize the president. Two or three have been provided for , and moro places nro ex pected to bo assigned to Buffaloans within a very few days. The latest move 1ms been the announcement of these Interested friends of the president that ho not only is u citizen of Buffalo , but that ho i a holder of ex tremely valuable real entnto. which has en hanced greatly in desirability within the past year. Ono of thet > o gentlemen says that Mr. Cleveland's solo reason for hanging oil to this property has been his dcslro to remain identified with the iutcri'sts of the QUeen city , and ho adds that ho is confident , from conversation with the president , that Mr. Cleveland intends to travel to Buffalo next November and cast his vote for the cnllro democr.itio ticket. Till ! VIOB WKSIDHNT WJIAVm.K. Private Secretary Lament said this after noon that the reports that the president has expressed a preference for any man for vice president or objections to any of the several gentlemen whoso names wore , before the pub lic wcro untrua and did him great injustice. Many attempts have been made to secure his views , but they were unsueccbsful , and any statements that ho hud suid u word favorable or unfavorable was fur from thq truth. Ho considered It not only indelicate but improper for him to refer in any way by expressions of preference or prejudice on the subject. On belni ; informed that Colonel Morrison had Announced that the president desires the nomination of Governor Gray , of Indiana , Colonel LniDOiit said that ho doubted it very much , but if it was true Colonel Morrison wns bpcaklng without the bilk-litest authority , nlul was doing president the gicatcst in/- Juhtlco. Lumont was then asked if the presi dent had permitted Second Auditor Pay to go to Illinois and there cngago in pernicious ac tivity in the interest of Governor Gruv. Ho replied that the president was not aware that Auditor Day hud left Washington , and if ho him gone west with any such purpose it was without the authority or knowledge of tlio president and was decidedly uguiust his wishes. Hu suid that hu had acei ) some dispatches about it in the nowfcpapeiu , but the president had received no information of the fact. The president's .views on tlio sub ject of. public ofllcials taking part in political Intrigues wcro well known apd ho could not believe Day would violate- them , Mrs , Manderson nnd her guest , Mrs , Gan nett , of Omvha , arrived to-day.

During the day they hold consultations with Senators Mnnderson nnd Paddock nnd the Nebraska congressmen nnd hope before they leave next week to tnlto such n presentation of their case ns will secure the requisite funds. Gen eral Sheridan , however , docs not seem to bo inclined to do anythhip moro for the post. Ho says that with the largo p'osts nt Omaha , ono nt Ft. Russell and another at Denver , there is absolutely no need for the mnintcn- nnca of the garrison nt Sidney , nnd , In fact. IIQ would have no troops to till It with. But General Sheridan has been induced to change his mind before this , nnd there nro hopes that ho may in the present Instance. At any rate the delegation from Sidney wilt make n hot fight and will receive the cordial support of the Nebraska delegation hero. Hon. J.
