General expectation favors the passage
ef thu democratic silver compromise. It tbo
democrats will unltu on the amendment they
can pass It. Whether It will receive any
support from the repeal republicans is ex
ceedingly doubtful. Several republicans
have always believed compromise inevitable ,
but they have all Insisted that any com
promise Continuing , silver purchases should
bo accompanied with authority to accumu
late gold by the sale of bonds.
Senator Manderson has steadily main
tained the position that the issue of bonds
onipecillc authority so to do In case of
emergency , Is essential to the restoration of
public confidence and the maintenance of
parity.
The senators from the mining states will ,
of course , oppose the amendment , and they
will have the support of Allen , Kyle and
I'cffer. Senator Teller says ho will not ,
while opposing the measure , filibuster'
ngalnst Its passage.
ICIIort * of .Senator Sliorninn.
The republicans , led by Mr. Sherman , will
doubtless make an effort to amend the bill
by adding an additional section authorizing
the sale of a specified amount of bonds at
the discretion of the secretary of the treas
ury. If such an amendment bo not made
the proposed compromise will bo almost as
great a makeshift as the Sherman act.
Under that act the silver bullion Is paid for
by treasury notes redeemable in coin , the
notes being Issued against the commercial
value of the bullion. By the coinage of the
Ecignlorag6 or the Issue of treasury notes
ngainst It the measure of the security for
these notes is reduced by about 40 percent
and Its place is supplied by the act of the
government , which consists of RO much wind.
The seigniorage Is the difference between
the prlco paid for tbo bullion and the coin
age value.
Dntnlls of the Proposed aionmiro.
The bullion now held is worth its commer
cial value , but if the seigniorage be utilized
in the manner proposed by the compromise ,
its declared value In the form of sliver dollars
lars would be increased by the difference be
tween the mint value of the coin and the
market value of the bullion. It is estimated
that the mint value of the bullion now hold
U over 50,000,1)00 ) in excess of the commercial
valuo. The amendment proposes to Inflate
the bullion now held and the purchases that
will bo made until October 1 , 18U4 , with con
gressional wind. Tlio treasury notes being
redeemable with gold , sound business prin
ciples and a proper regard for the public
credit- require that the secretary of the
treasury should have authority to provide
for their redemption In gold , and this can
only bo done by giving official discretion and
authority to sell bonds.

Time of the Snmtn for tlio Week to llu
Tlitia Rmployud. ,
WASHINGTON' , Oct. 22. The silver question
will probably again this week occupy the
attention of tlio scniito to the exclusion of
every other subject , unless it bo some minor
matter like the continuation of presidential
appointments. Even though the compro
mise bill be brought in tomorrow there-
little prospect of concluding the considera
tion of the question before the latter part
of the week.
E Senator Jones of Nevada , who has spoken
already ou throe different days , announced
last night that he would require parts or
two or threu days moro for the conclusion of
his remarks. Senator Teller also has on
hand a speech which ho began two or three.
weeks ago , which ho would llko to
| y have nn opportunity to conclude. Tnero are
probably others of the silver advocates who
are similarly situated , They will bo given
an opportunity to present the. matter prepared -
pared , oven thouu'h the argument of the
question shall bo definitely suttlc I.
There will In all probability bo many
ipcothcs In explanation of votes upon the
compromise , but thcso will bo comparatively
brief. Theru is a possibility that the com
promise may wait , though all the proba
bilities arc in favor of its success. If it
should fall the throttle will bo thrown wide
open again and no ono can foretell what the
week will bring forth. Such a state of
affairs would bo almost certain to force the
senate Into a fierce fight over the rules , It
is probable that Senator Voorhoes will make
a summing up speech during the week if the
compromise amendment Is Introduced.
ConttroinUcr * Working llnril.
There has been nothing done today In the
vray of getting additional supporters to the
compromise , but it is the intention of the
leaders of the movement to push the matter
at once and secure Hufllcient signers to se
cure favorable action , U is their hope to
obtain the coiibcnt by telegram to have the
names of some of the absentees attached to
the bill.
Practically the banking and currency coin-
inlttrn consists of seven democrats and six
republicans. On the question of the repeal of
the state bank tax the republicans , Messrs.
Walker , Broslus , Kussell and Johnson , hide-
pendent , are all counted against the proposi-
tion. Counted with them are Springer and
Spcrry. The democrats who are counted In
favor of repeal Are Messrs , Cox , Cobb of
Missouri , Culborson , Cobb of Alabama , \Vnr-
nor , Black of Georgia , and Hull of Missouri.
This leaves the committee eight and eight ,
with Johnson of Ohio doubtful. The men
against repeal say that ho la surely with
them and tlio repealers claim him ulso In
i-ase they repeal certain clauses' which ho
desires repealedx
House rbreratt ,
The horoscope of events 111 the house this
weak will hinge upon the result of the effort
to nut through thu compromise at the other
end of the capital. If the compromise
should reach the house before the consldora-
lion of the bankruptcy will , which is made n
continuing order beginning tomorrow , is dis.
posed of , that order will bo vacated to the
end that prompt action may bo had on the
linanclal measure , It is not expected , however -
ever , that thu compromise bill will reach
the house under the most favorable circiun-
utanres until the latter end of the week.
Unless it becomes apparent that there might
bo unreasonable delay in committee , the
bill will bo referred under the rules to tbo
coinage , weights and measures committee.
If there is a disposition to hold it there , a ,
motion will bo made to concur In the senate
amendments when the bill is taken from the
* peuker'n table.
ThouUiludo of the republicans toward
tbo 1)111 will bo governed by the cotirso of the
republican senators , The silver democrats ,
too , except perhaps a few extremists , will
follow the lead of their political brethren of
the senate. In fact , no sort of doubt scorns
to exist about tbo houso. It will pass , and
pass with expedition , on any compromise that
goes through the senate.
A * to Other Measures.
The bankruptcy bill , unless the financial
measure dislodges It , will probably occupy
the entire wcolr. Much opposition to this
measure In Its present form has been devel
oped. Messrs. Culborson and Bailey , demo
crats , and William A. Stone , republican , nf
the committed which reported the bill , are
among Its opponents. Mr. Stone will open
the light against the bill tomorrow. .Mr.
Culbcrson says It must be amended in many
particulars , , while others sar it can never
pass unless radical changes are made.
Ono of thcso changes is the involuntary
clause bv which a man may be put through
the bankruptcy court , oven when .It is not to
his advantage or a majority of his creditors
to tnko such action. Mr. Stone points
out' many defects In the bill which
ho says to the casual observer
has not occurred. Ho Is opposed to tnu mil
on general principles. There have been tnrco
bankruptcy laws passed and all have been
repealed. The longest maintained on the
statute book was eleven years , the rest less
than two years.

tion of the eastbouud passenger train No. 4.
It was about 0 o'clock and the fog hung so
heavily that It wad Impossible to see farther
than a few feet ahead of the engine. The
westbound train was standing close to the
switch and was In charge of Conductor

The train was late and was running at a
good speed , but , ou-ine to the fog and the en
gineer's Inability to see where ho was , En
gineer Cownn had commenced to slow up , as
ho thought it was about tlmo for htm to
reach the switch.
Suddenly there loomed up In front of him
an engii < e , and before ho could jump they
crashed Into each other and wore piled up in
a wreck. Engineer Cowcn was frightfully
scalded and was taken from his engine by
passengers who had escaped injury. Fire

Amos "Juryflxcr. " Van Alstlne nnd hl
select coterie of political pals were filled
with grief yesterday morning , when they
awoke to n realization that tliw secret con
vention of "cHlz 'is" ' had attracted outside
attention through the columns of TUB BEE
and that their doings of the preceding even
ing were known to the world.
Whllo the juryfixlug Amos had been pr-
ambulatlng about town during the business
hours of Saturday , peddling the personal in
vitations that were rolled uuon to cot the
disgruntled ones together , ho hnd been very
careful to Impress upon the Invitees the ne
cessity of keeping the program "dark , " and
when he finally had the satisfaction of gaz
ing upon his chosen associates collectively ,
ho was more than satisfied that the "com
mendatory "well done , " of his commanding
general , Boss Twcnty-olglrtcr Broatch ,
would soon come ills.way.
I'ornonnel of thn I'lottern.
And It cannot bo denied that It was an ag
gregation to awaken emotions of some kind
In almost nnv human breast. Occtiping a ,
very prominent position was Jim Kynoy
fully togged out In his campaien costume ,
for bo it understood that Jim during tbo
campaign , nnd ,11m "after the ball is over , "
are two very different appearing Individuals.
On ordinary occasions Kynor woaw a
wooden leg , and manages to navigate with a
scarcely ulsccrnablo limp , but when there
are votes to bo procured , and when the
franchlsed corporations of the city will bo
satisfied with nothing else , Jim deftly un
hitches his artiliclal underpinning and
slides It under the bed , at the same tlmo
pulling out a well-worn crutch , and thus
equipped he starts forth to hold n series of
post-mortems on the battle of Shlloh. That
was how it was Saturday night , and Jim
caused his fcllow-cousplr.itors to suffer
from tlvo separate and distinct attacks of
fever and ague , as he forcibly dragged
them to the historic spot and compelled
them to gaze on the fearful curnairo. Then
ho hauled them over to the hospital and
forced them to stand helplessly by while the
surgeons were wielding their moat axes
with superhuman strength in an endeavor
to complete the work left undone by a
cannon ball that had struck ono of his legs
just after ho hud pulled the other out of the
way. Five times did ICyner force his
auditors to undergo this fearful experience
before ho was satisfied that they could bo
trusted to do their duty as mapped out by
him.
'Anytiimc to llent Itomls. "
Then there was thn father of Wallace J.
Broatch , jr. Everyoody knows where ho
stands , and how he got therp. Ho is a re
publican , for ho said so himself ; and he Is
going to defeat Mayor Bcmls if he has to bo
a candidate himself in order to do it , and ho
said that , too. He has just returned from
the big fair , where ho had perfected several
plans for secretly jabbing the harpoon into
the republican nominee , and as he claspcO
Dr. Mercer'sjvoluptuous fist in his two little
ones , ho laughed gleefully with that three-
aud-a-half-ounce-to-the-pound laugh of Ins
In anticipation of the sweet , revenge that ho
was going to have by standing up
the corpulent doctor In the middle o :
the road , and forcing some of the
republican voters to go around the
block , trusting that they wouldn't get bael
to the polling place In tlmo to yote. Ho re
llectively remarked that ho taught some
folks a lesaon something llko a auartet of
years ago , and he wanted it aistlnclly uuder
stood that ho could stick his butcher knife
into a man's back dud turn it round with
just as much grace and as little compunctlot
now as be over could.
The portly doctor had turned to speak to
some ouo else , but when ho heard this ho
hurriedly faced again toward the speakei
and did not again take his eves oft him uutl
he had backed entirely acrois the room.
"Oh , I don't mean you , doctor. I don't
mean you , " soothingly remarked the slro > of
the sad young man who couldn't help it.
"N-no , ir-n-no , I know you don't , Wally , I
know yon don't. Te-ho. Of course you
don't. That's all ricrht. " But the doctor
hastily continued his retiogrado movement
until he collided with a pillar with a force
that auzurcd lllv for the long life of the
building.
Wlntrr ol Discontent.
There was Phil E. Winter , an Individual
who was lawfully born Into this world and
therefore has u right to bo on earth. Ho
has afrend ! , who has been heard to assort
that Winter has also another valid excuse
for living , but no proof was advanced in
support of that nbscrtion. Philip was chair
man of the county convention , at which
time ho presidca with such manifest un
fairness and utter disregard of decency tbat
ho was severely criticised by members of his
own faction. But what brought him Into
this meeting was the fact that ho had made
a sorry spectacle of himself as a delegate to
the city convention , when after the chair
had declared Mayor Bcmls nominated
unnniinousl.i ho arose and protested against
it , claiming that ho had not votdd for UcmU ,
and he was unwilling to give the nomlnoo
such advantage as might arise from a unani
mous nomination. The convention sat down
on him with considerable vehemence , and he
has been suffering In mind over since , which
made it a very easy matter for Broatch to
induce him to enlist In the "Second Edition. "
Kutltlcil to CroilnntliiU.
Another delegate was Jim Birnaclowhoso
right to a scat yns never questioned after
ho had announced his name. Still another
was Sandy Knight , who achieved a full
measure of fame during a recent caucus by
stealing Charley Coon's nose and carrying it
around and pinning it on the back of the
owner's head , simply because Coon had
punched Joe Redman In the cyo. This defense -
fonso of Redman , together with a record as
a Twenty-elghtcr that couldn't bo printed
on n perfecting press , made him eligi
ble to prominent place on the floor , and
ho noisily nyalled. himself of all his priv
ileges.
Joe Redman was there , nnd ho made no
bones of defondlng the right of a populist
nominee for the city council to participate In
the nomination of a "citizens' " candidate for
mayor.

Ernest Stuht was there , and the two sec

prompts him to be honest , and the capacious
portion that has prevented him from turning
over to the city central committee the money
that was placed in his custody as treasurer
were tied together with n carefully
braided hair rope , as usual.
Other consistently patriotic partisans who
wore there were Van Ludy , who wanted the
nomiuation for city clerk and couldn't ' get it ;

walked out of the meeting , after learning
that it was called for another purpose thai
the ouo that ho had been led to believe
Sundy Knight spied Bob Llvesoy and at
once moved that ho be fired out. The motion
was put , but before It could be announced
the Intruder had flea.
Mr. Bishop was then noticed in the room
and wa atked to declare whether bo was
or Hernia or ngalnst hinu. Ho said ho was
or the present maj-oirnWfl. was accordingly
counted out of the pawfwow.
The gentlemen tt cra nwombled seemed to
onloy sport of this- , kind ; nnd were looking
iroiind for some one olsolo heave over the
leer , when the aspirlnir doctor thought they
were looking nt hint n Uttto too Inqulrlncly
nnd ho promptly rotircd'on his own motion.
Ho needn't have taken it so seriously , for
.ho patriots were simply wondering "how
nuch ho had with him. "
Jim Ky > 'or fulled Iiown.
Then It was that .tvyner botran unfolding
its military program , and there was no
: hango tn the program for some time. When
i did come it was to tell how ho was beaten
in the city convention byRosewator's
machinations and vlllMnous abuse. " Ho had
started his stcreoptyptd roast of Rosowatcr ,
when some ono asked if Rosewater was run
ning for mayor , or Ittho meeting was called
to consider the question of nn independent
candidate. Then It was suggested that
Mercer was the man.
Clialloo declared that It would be throwIng -
Ing away votes to put Mercer In the field , as
ho would pull from Hascall and Bedford nnd
elect Bcmls , which was the very thing they
did not want to do.
And' then Langron denounced Chaffee ,
whom ho charged with attempting to "pull n
huutcrd dollar out of Mercer's coat tails , and
he tried it more as sir times. " Ho Insisted
that Mercer was the man , for ho hnd known
him "sic car. "
Chiming Itntnbuw * .
Then Abraham Ruhttln Sauer made his
"God and morality" plea , getting Ike Has
call and Sodom and. Gomorrah fearfully tan-
pled up with each other. Sam Macleod ,
who , by the way , Is an Individual who dares
to make promises the very thought of which
would throw the original "Maoleod of Dare1'
Into a trance , then took thn floor , and said
that ho had carefully/canvassed the situa-
tlop , and ho could promise l,700church mem
bers' votes for Mercer. Ed Taylor said thn
Union Pacific shops Would bo a solid "danks"
for Mercer.
Sandy Knight seemed to think that ho
was losing prestige , Jo he promised the solid
support of the Fif th.ird for Mercer , which
constrained Colonel iCyner to remark that ho
would take care of the Fifth ward and the
cast bottoms without any Interference or as
sistance.
Jack Haskcll promised the united support
of the whole street sprinkling gang. This
crowd numbers eight voles. Henry
Ehrenpfort , whom the people of Omaha
know to their grief as the nonasscssor of
the First want , divided his time with him
self. He made eight speeches , all of which
vcrnnllko. Ho uromtscd the solid support
ot the First ward to Mercer. Any man who
could not promise the solid support of at
least ono ward had no business on that floor.

And then Dr. Mercer stood up and for
mally accepted the .nomination for mayor.
Mind you , it had not been tendered him , but
10 was afraid that it had como about as
lear as it was coming , and , ho hastened to
cap across the intervening space with an
agility that for a man of his years and
avoirdupois was something wonderful. The
nomination saw him'coming and started to
run , but the doctor-was a little too swift for
it. Ho cauzht it by , tho.hind leg and throw
it fiat on Its back , and before it really know
what was the matter he was sitting astride
It with a pressure of several pounds to the
squaw inch.
d tlio Purity qf tlio llallot.
He spoke of the purity of the ballot and
the resources of Omaha , and discussed the
advisability of placing n citizens' candidate
for mayor in the field. Ho did
object to it in the least , now that
it had been settled that.ho was to bo that
candidate. He said he had $ ' 200,000 , of his
own money which ho would put into public
buildings , and ho knew that with him in the
mayor's chair the city would experience no
difficulty whatever in obtaining all the
money it needed ( o phsh public work in nil
its branches. And the'n came tears , They
wore the genuine article , real , wet , briny
tears , and the doctor" sobbed and cried as if
his heart would bronk in case lie wasn't
elected , Kyncr rnshbd up and shook his
hand , nnd told him that he was doing it in
tiptop shape. TlniB' ncountfred , the doctor
said that while ho had'Statcd in tbo repub
lican city convention that ho wTTuldbon
republican after thoj { convention as well as
before It , no matter what the result might
bo , ho didn't want ahyboJy to understand
that ho hud promise * to support Bcmls , or
that ho would nqw sup xnt Bcmls.
ProgpcoU of tll.Ollff I.CJf ,
This tickled Broatoh.inimcnsely , and when
the doctor sat downho. went over and con
gratulated the candidate , as did a number of
others who had set tltolr hearts on a candi
date with an elastic nt&her limb.
Jacobson wanted tq know what Mercer
had to promise tho. Hnredes , when Sandy
Knight Interrupted Vvijh , "Horo , you shut

up trying to rnako him tlio "citizens' " nom

Cable Special to Tur. Iir.l Paris has
scon today ono of the most splendid and Im
posing ceremonies she has over witnessed m
the whole of her long history. The obse
quies of tholato Marshal MacMahon have
surpassed nil that was expected , Ono hun
dred ami twenty thousand persons marched
from the Madeline ) to ttio Invalules , through
the Champs Elysco , forming the last escort
to the great French soldier.
The funeral eortcgo was marvelous. All
the great bodies of the state were repre
sented and the whole army of Paris was
present. Every point of vantage , even the
branches of the trees , along the route was
occupied. Behind the eoflln walked ropro
sctitattvcs of nil the powers of Europe In
full uniform. The most striking ot thcso
wore flvo German officers of hign rank ,
whose martial bearing and superb uniforms
astounded the crowd of spectators.
„ No Hostility Shown.
Not a hostile shout was heard as they
passed through the Immense crowd. Three
Italian officers were received In the same
Way and the English officers passed without
attracting any notice. All the Russian
officers walked In a compact body headed by
Admiral Avelan , anS they were saluted by
the crowd , who , whllo remaining silent , un
covered as they crossed.
The lir.nicnbo wreath of palms sent by the
kaiser , the great wreath of flowers tied by
ribbons of the Italian colors sent by King
Humbert and the wreaths sent by Queen
Victoria and .tho prince of Wales attracted
much attention. / <
There was much fear that the gift of the *
German emperor and the presence of Italian
officers might draw cxpresslo'us of antipathy
from the Parisian populace , but they re
mained perfectly calm and showed political
tact which deserves all praise.
Kiiiillllirium Kc-i : < itul > llslic < I.
The-manifestation of today will certainly
have a pacific influence. The homage paid
by all the military nations of Europe to the
French army has filled the French
nation with a feeling of gratification
and it also proves the po
litical Importance of tho- Russian visit. '
If they had nqt come to Paris , Germany
and Italy would not have sent representa
tives of their army to the funeral of Mac
Mahon. France and Russia , united , inspire
the world with' respect' , re-establish the bal
ance ofjiSurppe and assure peace. Such are-
the Impressions of the hour. Letus , hope
that the future will confirm thorn. *

PAIIIS , Oct. 22. Amid all the pomp of
peace and war the remains of Marshal Mac-
Mahon , ex-president of Franco nnd duke of
Magenta , were convoyed to the Church
La Madeline , across the river Seine to the
Hotel dcs Invalldes , there to rest until the
great reveille is sounded by the trumpeters
The body of the last but ono of the
marshals of Franco reached this city from
Mont Crcsson last night , as already tele
graphed to the Associated press and was
convoyed to the Church La Madeline , which
historic building is situated half wav be
tween the Place do Opera and Champs
Elyseo. The modest hearse ocaring the ex-
president's remains was followed from the
railroad station by two old servants of the
aead soldier , who carried the marshal's
baton , decorations and other insignia of the
marshal of France , displayed on black velvet
cushions , and the little cortege was re
spectfully saluted by the crowds of merry
makers flocking the strceks in consequence
of the festivities prepared in honor -of the
Russian sailors.
ThoiiiamU I'lockcil to tlio Scene.
By 0 o'clock this morning the Place do la
Concorde , the Rue Royalo , the Qual d'Orsay '
boulevard , la Tour Mandbourg and all other
streets and boulevards leading to La Madeline -
line and the Hotel dcs Invalidcs , the resting
place In life and In death of the veterans of
Franco , were crowded with people anxious
to see the funeral of Marshal MacMahon.
The Church La Madeline , or the Church
of St. Mary Magdalene , commenced In 17T7
and finished In 18. > 3 , was draped in mourning
bands , presenting u peculiarly sad appear
ance amidst so much fcto decoration In its
Immediate neighborhood. It is true that
along the route followed by the funeral pro
cession them were many emblems of mourn
ing displayed , especially In the draping of
trl-color flags , which were displayed from
windows on the streets loading from La
Madeline to the Hotel dcs Invalidcs.
The Church La Madeline , it may bo
added , Is built entirely of stone , is sur
rounded by a largo number of Corinthian
columns and has no windows , It Is leu up to
by some of the best streets In Paris , includ
ing the famous Boulevard dcs la Madeline.
Preparation * for tlio Ceremony ,
The coffin , covered with its black pall ,
decorated with silver stars and having on it
the marshal's chancuu and sword , us well us
the two black velvet cushions studded with
the various decorations the dead soldier had
received during llfo , including the Russian
Order of St. Andrews , the Golden Fleece of
Spain , the Legion of Honor , etc. , was borne
at 'JH : ! ) a. m. from the front of the main altar
where it had rested all night and was
placed upon u catafalque beneath thu prand
portico of the La Madeline.
The front of the church where the remains
of the oxpresldcnt'were placed in state ,
faces the Rue Royale , which leads from the
church to the Place do la Concorde and by
the Ponce do Concorde across the Seine to
the Hotel dcs Invalldes.
In front of La Madeline tlio coffin of the
famous soldier and ox-prcsldent was viewed
oy vast crowds. Tapers were nlacod around
the blcr and the whole was surrounded by a
military guard of honor , which drew up before -
fore La Madeline shortly before the coffin
was removed from the front of the altar to
the portico.
I'lncetl Amid IMIIowi of I'loworn ,
When the guard of honor had cleared the
necessary space in front of the blor , count
less wreaths and pillars of flowers were
placed upon and around the casket contain
ing the body. Among the floral offerings
was ono beautiful disulay of lilacs and roses
sent by Queen Victoria and Inscribed with
the words "Regrets and Profound Sym
pathy. "
The prince of Wales sent a handsome pil
low of tea roses and chrysanthemums in
scribed "A Tribute of Admiration for un II-
luslrlous Soldier , "
The Moral offering which attracted the
most attention was sent by Emperor Wil
liam of Germany and was competed of violets
anil lilacs with a largo palm leaf , la tut
center of which was worked the letter "W"
and the Imperial crown.
Thn floral tribute of the Russians was sur
mounted by a laurel crown , to Which was at
tached a broad whlto silk ribbon , upon
which was embroidered "Russian Mediter
ranean Squadron , "
King Humbert of Italy , the city of Milan
nnd a number of Italian officers sent beauti
ful wreaths of flowers to bo placed upon the
casket containing the remains of the- famous
general.
But the largest of nil was the offering of
the French army. It w.is composed of roses ,
heliotropes , margerltcs and carnations ,
Along tlKfl.Inc of Mnrcli.
Shortly before half past 10 o'clock the
route lo.tdttiff from the Church La Madeline
to the Hotel dcs Invalldes had been lined
with troops , which kept the road clear for
the passage of the hearse. At 10tO : : General
Bolosdeffro , chief of the general staff of the
French army , and General Sausslor , the gen
eral In command ot the Paris garrison , nr-
rlveJ In front of La Madeline , followed by
the attaches of the Imperial emb.vssv. AH
were In brilliant uniforms , nnd the two gen
erals were escorted by hussars and drairooiii.
General Bolcsdoffre , followed by General
Sausslcrand the Herman attaches , quietly
ascended the steps and took the positions
which had been nislcncd to them around the
hearso. Soon after the French generals and
German ofllccrs hnd reached La Madeline
the Russian visiting officers , headed by Ad
miral Avcllan , also arrived at the church In
full dress uniform.
The arrival of the Russians caused a com
motion among the people assembled , and It
was easy to be seen that It needed but a
starting signal to have raised ono of these
outbursts of cheering which are now so
familiar to thu czar's sailors when they
make their appearance In the streets of
Paris. The Russl.tns Wore saluted by ttio
'
representatives of the French army a'ud by
the German attaches.
The nnxt party to arrive was that of the
marquis of Dufferm , thu British ambassa
dor , who was followed by all the other mem
bers of tlio diplomatic corps who joined the
brilliant group of officers around the dead
soldier's casket , forming a sccno which was
singularly Imposing ,
* Covered ttio Housetops.
The streets wore packed with people ,
while all the windows and balconies were
filled with people , and every available house
top was covered with spectators. Shortly
after 11:20 : the sharp notes of a military
bugle gave the signal that thu funeral cor
tege was ready to take the body of Marshal
MacMahon to Its last restintr place. The
troops , like a magnificent piece of clock
work , presented .inns. A group of priests
preceded by altar boys bearing candles be
hind a tall cross of gold , were seen to descend -
cond the steps ana march slowly toward the
Place do la Concorde. Behind the priests
came the coffin , borne upon the shoulders of
a number of noncommissioned officers.
Slowly and solemnly was the body carried
down the steps amj toward the Rue Royalo ,
followed by the representatives of President
Carnet , the senate. Chamber of Deputies and
the diplomatic corps. The latter was
headed by the Italian and German ambas
sadors. Then came the representatives of
the prince of Wales , King Humbert of Italy
and others.
Admiral Avolan walked with the diplo-
matfo corps and the other Russian ofllccrs
were nt the head of the delegation repre
senting the French army. The latter portion
tion of the procession included of
ficers from tivory branch of the
army. The largo numbers of members
of the Chamber of Deputies and civic
bodies.-including the Italian colony in Paris ,
with the male spectators , stood bareheaded
as the funeral procession passed down the
Rue Royale and.made its way toward the
Hotel des InVallde ,
Iho head of tlio f unCn'tl procession reached
the hotel itt 1-p. m < and the bqjy .wascart'
ricdtp the chapel , -which was richly deco-
rated-'wtth black and silver drapcdes , whore
it was received by Cardinal PIchara , arch
bishop of Paris , who officiated at the last re
ligious ceremonies over the dead , which
lasted fully one hour ;
Dcedi * of the Honored Dond.
At the conclusion of the religious services ,
the coffin was conveyed to tho. court of
honor which is enclosed with arcades ,
adorned with paintings and representing
scenes from the time of Charlemagne , St.
Louis , Louis XIV nnd Napoleon I. Willie
the body was In the court M. Dupuy , minis
ter of public works , delivered a stirring
oration over thu remains of the deceased
soldier.
M. Dunuy , during the course of his re
marks , sketched the career of Marshal Mac
Mahon , and declared that ho exorcised the
powers entrusted to him with loyal trust ,
but ho laia them aside with exemplary
dignity. Continuing M. Dupuy said that the
dead marshal respected the national will
during his term as chjof ojllcer of the
French republic and hud shown himself to
bo not only n good but a great Frenchman.
"This is why , " mlded M. Dupuy. "his blot-
Is now surrounded by every mark of esteem
and sorrow from foreign sovereigns , which ,
whether they are under allied flags or op-
positing flags , learned to appreciate , es
pecially on battlefields , the worth and loy
alty of Marshal MacMahon.
"In laying tbo remains of Marshal Mac-
Mahoa among the bravo and good men whoso
bodies are already In repose there , they
provo to the friends nnd guests of the re
public that they knew how to preserve the
Images dear to the fatherland. "
General Loulsclllon , minister of war , fol
lowed In an oration In which ho dwelt upon
Marshal ManMahon's honorable character
and Illustrious career and bade his old com-
rado-ln-arms adieu' In the name of the
French army.
Impressive Bci-nen Wltnritcil.
A most impressive march past the troops
at the Hotel des Invalldes followed. Tno
members o { the diplomatic corps witnessed
the soldiers dnlllo front u position which
they took upon the right side of the entrance
to the esplanade and the Russian sailors
witnessed the same ceremony from tlio left
side of the entrance.
After this last ceremony and last tribute of
respect on the part .of the military author
ities , the casket containing the body of
Marshal MacMahon was slowly borne to
the vault reserved for marshals of Franco ,
which is situated beneath the chapel.
Marshal MacMahou's son and aueut fifty
of the most prominent officers present took
part In this lust ceremony.
When all the ceremonies were completed
Marshal Canrobort was presented with the
remnants of two flags by veterans whoso
regiments hnd carried them In the Crimean
campaign with Marshal Canrobort In every
place whore they had served during that
famous campaign. Marshal Canrobert
throughout the funeral ceremonies was the
object of respectful salutations from all
classes of Frenchmen and foreigners.
After leaving , thu Russian officers wore
not much noticed by the crowds , but ou re
turning to the Military club , they received
the usual ovation. Tlio German ambassador
and the other prominent representatives of
Emperor William present wore unable to
find carriages at the conclusion of the cere
monies at the Hotel dcs Invalidcs ,
Marshal Canrobert , addressing the curate
of Magenta , after the funeral of Marshal
MacMahon , said : "Wliou you return to
Italy tell the Italians that Canrobert , before
his eyes close forever , wishes to ECU Italy
nnd Franco march hand in hand , us they did
at Magenta and Solferino , "

risen street station this morning and ut once
started to visit the most notorious dives.
At the first pluco they were denied admis

already , but received an Invitation to come
again and they would bo shown through the

insisted on haVing a dance with ono of the

It is probable that ono of the chief
naval engagements of the ' Brazilian
revolution will bo fought oft the coast
of Uruguay. Admiral Melfo ordered the
cruiser , Ropubllca , to sail from Santos
for Montevideo and she arrived today. The
cruiser and all on board were quarantined
ana will bo kept there for two days. It Is
believed hero that her object is to attack
the Tiradentcs as soon as the latter leaves
the dock. When the news of the professions
of allegiance to Pclxoto of the ofllccrs and
crow of the Tlradontcs reached Mcllo , ho
ordered the Ropubllca to Montevideo to
prevent the Tiradentcs icaching Rio de

removed from the Tiradentcs so as to render
her useless In case tlio Insurgents captured
her while in dock hero , lias been re

prevent any violation of international law
through an attack by the rebel cruiser. It
