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.

proves that the son cherishes the
sentiments of his father , sentiments which
glvo assurances that the relations between

not bo deceived , " ho adds. "It will perceive
that this blow has been leveled on account of
the result of the elections. " In the letter
Boulangcr denies thai ho had any hand In the
election. The minister of war has ordered
Boulangcr to return to Clermont-Ferrand. If
the general refuses to return ho will probably
bo arrested. Committees have been formed

AN ARCIIY ON THE STAGE.
Mimicking the Judicial Methods of
New York.
Nr.w YOUK , March 10. [ 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.

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

day they hold consultations with Senators
Mnnderson nnd Paddock nnd the Nebraska
congressmen nnd hope before they leave next

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 ,

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

that ho may in the present Instance. At any

ntntcd to-day that the cnso of the Union Pa
cific against the state board of transporta
tion would bo advanced to the supreme
court of tha United States as rapidly ns pos
sible , The board do not propose to accept us
final such n doctrine ns Judge Dundy finds
them , and they have full confidence that the
United States Supreme court will not adJudge -
Judge the Union Paclrto greater than the
state It traverses. The flnal hearing has
not yet been made , " suid the attorney gen
eral , "boforo Judge Dundy , although his
granting the Injunction clearly outlines what
it will bo. Under the practice the road will
have ninety days to make up its side of the
case for final hearing , nnd the board will bo
rcndy. " In fact , the nttornoy general stands
ready to stipulate with the company to take
the facts up to the Judge at once for a hear
ing , so that an appeal from his opinion can
the sooner bo made to the court of last re
sort. The fact that Judge Dundy's assump
tion places the road practically nbovo the law
makes public opinion believe the board a
unit in demanding a final hearing as speedily
as possible.
