dence. PRINCETON. N. J- ' June 28. Grover
Cleveland's body l'es I ur ed tonight In the
Cleveland plol In Ptlnceton cemetery.
At 6 o'clock Just as the sun was sinking
In the weft a dlstinaulihed company si
lently watched as the body was lowered
Into Hi- iruvt. Then the simple burial
service or the rrosl ytetlan church was nil
and when the last ot the carriages In the
cortege bad driven up to the path leading
to the grave the, benediction had been pro
nounced and the members, of tho family.
President nooeve;t and others who liavii
gathered about the giave were leaving the
'cemetery. Many of the personal friends of
the dead statesman lingered about the spjt
'which was to mark his last resting rlace
and each in turn was permitted to cast a
shovelful of earth Into the grave.
Agreeable to the wishes of Mrs. Cleve
land the services both at the house end at
the cemetery were of the simplest char
acter. An Invocation, schlptural reading,
a brief prayer and the read'ng of a Wil
liam Wordsworth poem. "Character of the
Happy Warrior." constituted the services
at the house, while the reading of the
burial service at the grave was brief and
Impressive.
Although the funeral was of a strictly
private nature.' those In attendance num
bered many distinguished citizens. Includ
ing President RocSevelt. Governors Fort of
New Jersev, Hughes of New York, Hoke
Smith of Georgia, former members of
President CLve'and'a cabinet, officials of
the Equitable Life Assurance oc:e:y, mem
ber tit tl.e Princeton university faculty
end friends and 'neighbors.
Mr. Cleveland wu burled with all tha
simplicity . and . rriyey that he himself
might b,ave wished as a private cltlsen
rather' than an the former chief executive
of the nation. There was . nothing thai
savored of the official and the military
element was Injected solely as a measure
of precaution In protecting President
Roofevelt. i
The president arrived at 4: p. . and
was met at the station by Governor Fort.
President Rodsevelt." fMvernor Fort and
Seen taiy Loeb were driven at once to
WKtlaud. Upon' his arrival at the house
the president went to Mrs. Cleveland,
(' offering hU sympathy and expressing
keen regret at Mr. Cleveland's death.
. The president then returned to Ihe re
ception room where the body , had been
removed in the afternoon from the room
on. the second floor, In which Mr. Cleve
land died. (
Service Begins.
A few minutes Utr tha four clergy
men who officiated came down the stairs
to the hall leading to the reception room,
followed by Mrs. Cleveland and the chil
dren. As they stepped on the landing, ac
companied by Dr. Joseph D. Bryant, the
whole company rose and remained stand
ing throughout the service. Mrs. Cleve
land waa gowned In black and wore a be
coming hat with a short, drooping veil.
Esther was also In black, while. Richard
wore a white suit and black tie.'
The services began with an Invocation
by Rev. Sylvester W. Beach of the First
Presbyterian church of Princeton, which
was followed by scriptural reading by Rev.
Maltlajid V. Barlett of the West Farms
(Presbyterian church of New York, a
former pastor of Mr. Cleveland, who read
from ' the fourteenth chapter of the book
of John and a number of passages from
the-fourth and twenty-second chapters of
the Thesaalonlans: "And they shall see
his face." , read Dr. Bartlett. .In closing
"and his name shall be In their horeheads;
they shall hunger no more, neither thirst
any more; neither shall the aun light
upon them nor any heat for tha land whlcn
la the midst of the throne shall feed them
and shall lead them until living fountains
of water, and God shall wipe all tears
from their eyes."
Pr. Henry Van Dyke then said: that
"according to the reauest of one whose
lightest "fish at this moment we all
respect, there will be no address or sermon,
but there was a poem written more than
a hundred years ago, by William Words
worth, which Is expressive of his char
acter." -
He then read the poem "Character of
Happy Warrior."
Those at the Faoeral.
Twenty-six carriages conveyed the fun
rsl party to the cemetery. The pall-bearers
walked with the hearse, six on either
ids. The officiating clergymen occupied
the first carriage, and the second contained
Mrs. Cleveland, her son Richard, and Dr.

In New York, had to be abandoned on ac
count of the funeral this afternoon of th
lnte President Cleveland. '
"I have a considerable amount of cor
respondence which has been nesiected for
three or four days," said he, "and I am
going to get it out of the way today. Here
I can attend to It quietly nnd without In
terruption, whereas If I went to New York
this morning I probably would be unable
to do anything with It this afternoon. "
"This has been," snld the secretary, "one
of the most enjvable commencements 1
ever attended. Every moment har hnd Its
delights. It was too bad that we did not
make 14 more Interesting for Harvard In
the boat race: but we defeated them at
base ball, anyway."'

trips from there to other point being In
contemplation.

with Jacob O. Bchtnldlapp of Cincinnati,
and perhaps another friend or two, but he
says the dinner will not be In any way
significant. While In New Tork. the sec
retary probably will confer with a few
pVrsonal and political friends as to plans
for the approaching campaign and as to
the clostns-up of hie official business In
the War department." After hi confer
ence with the president at Oyster Bay,
he will proceed to Washington.

DEATH CAUSES QUEER MIXIT
Law Doe Not Seem to Provide a Way
to Fill Vacant Office.
PIERRE, g. T., June 26.-(Sieclal Tele
gram.) The death of Congressman W. H.
Parker, leaves the congressional situation
In a rather peculiar shape. The vacancy
cannot be filled by appointment, but must
be by special election. The election of a
candidate la the puzzling one. The state
nominates through primary election and
fixes specific dates for such nominations.
The convention Is empowered to fill vacan
cies in the ticket nominated but not audi
as a vacancy by death of an officer elected.
The probabilities at tho present are that
Governor Crawford will not call a special
election before the date of the . general
election In NJTember and nominations
will be by petition for the place to fill
vacancy. Just who will be the man Is a
matter for the future political history of
the state, to decide.

William H. Taft's successful control of the
Philippines as - one of the marks of his
great executive ability, and felt that with
a party behind him that can boast the
achievements belonging to the republican

dore Roosevelt no voter should hesitate
about making a choice between the candi
dates of the parties. ,
Congressman E. M. Pollard discussed .the
relation of the republican party to the
farmers. He had made a thorough re
search among statistics, and produced fig
ures to show that during the reign of re
publicanism since Harrison's first term, the
values of grain and live stock had shown a
gratifying Increase, aa against a big de
crease during the administration of Presi
dent Cleveland.
Congressman E. H. Hlnshaw congratu
lated the. republican, party upon Its wise
choice of Taft and Sherman, believing them
to be the right men for the places. He
cited the numerous accomplishments of the

trol of Cuba and the construction of the
Panama oanal. Under the present pros
perous conditions, he asked, would It appear
safe and sane to change the course of the

MARSHALL HAS NORTH DAKOTA
Prosrreislve Republican Practically
Certain of Election aa United
Stntes Senntor.
FARGO, N. D.. June 26. It 1 now certain
that the stalwart wing of the republican
party In North Dakota has lost the sena
torshlp. and the next United States senator
from North' Dakota will probably be from
the progressivefaction of that party, aa
North Dakota ls unlikely to elect a demo
crat Congressman Thomas Marshall, pro
gressive candidate, has been , making so
great an Inroad upon the stalwart strong
holds where C. B. Little was supposed to
be strong, that there I no chance of the
latter securing enough votes to give him a

next fall.
For a time it looked aa though Marshall
might secure th 40 per cent of the 'party
vole necessary to Insure him th republican
nomination, but more complete return
show that N. J. Johnson, th other pro
gressive candidate. Is running so strong
that It Is certain the contest between them
will have to be decided at the general elec
tion next fall. Little, the condldate of the
old machine, and Senator Hansbrough, are
entirely outclassed.

"Hu'rah for Omaha. Hurrah! Hurrah
Hurrah!'' with rousing cheer on their
ilps, the delegates to the Twentieth scs
rlon of the National Livestock Exchnnss
filed from the convention hall tit 4:45 p.
m. Friday afternoon at the cloee ot the
twentieth annua laesslon.
Omaha get a new honor !n the secretary,
an office If possible, more Important ths'n
the presidency. Omaha did well and
deserved It. The vote for Mr. 8trykr was
partly a recognition of this.
Two days have been crainmod with dis
cussions and action of Interest to all com
mission men and livestock producers.
Federal control, a square deal to the pub
lic with publicity, firm enforcement of
the economic rules of the exchange, oppo
sition to so called leeches and misguided
Interferenoe, and conservative adherents
to the methods of sane competition, have
been advocated In many brilliant pcochen.
Superb entertainment from every point of
view has made thl convention historic.
In tho election of officers and the choice
of a place of meeting precedent was sev
eral times overturned. Denver, by a vote
of 4 Oto 33 Was chosen as the place of
the next convention. The other city In
competition was Milwaukee, championed
by G. B. Van .Norman. He made an elo
quent plea, and fought hard for the honor,
but J. A. Johnson's Invitation, and tho
charms of the' western city proved too
alluring to the convention.
Precedent la Broken.
Following this selection, the precedent
of allowing the president to go to the
exchange which became the entertainer
for the ensuing year was broken. No Den
ver man wa placed In nomination. T. S.
Grave of Indianapolis was nominated by
George V. Wells of Chicago. Mr. Vn
Norman, under the defeat for the plac ,
of entertainment, refused to be salved
ove; and made a speedy withdrawal.
Thereupon, Graves being the only nominee,
was unanimously elected by acclamation.
The chairman of each delegation named
Ita vice president as follows:
Omaha Jay Laverty.
Chicago K. H. Ingwersen.
Sioux City Frank Anderson.
St. Joseph A. F. Daily.
St. Ixnils E. E. pversireet.
Pt. Paul C. L Hans.
Pittshurg-C. V. I.auer.
Buffalo H D. WhaU-y
Milwaukee T. L. Wood.
Kansas City L. A. I.ennen.
Denver A. J. Campion.
These were simply ratified by the con
vention and have the powers of the execu
tive committee. Indianapolis, having th
president, had no vice president.
Stryker for Secretary.
In the election of secretaty A. F. Stryket
came out with brilliant colors over all oppo
sition and Omaha got another feather lr
Its cap. In this election the exchange ap
parently committed Itself to the policy ol
rotating the orflce of secretary. Hereto
fore there has been but one secretary, C
W. Baker of Chicago, who has held th
office for nineteen year. In nominating Mr.
Stryker Jay Laverty said that It had been
the sense of the meeting at Knnsas City
last year that the office should be given tc
the other exchanges after reasonable terma
It is not Intended to'change yearly In thli
respect, but to alio a new rule to be '
established by custom. "The service ot
Mr. Baker has been faultless In every re
spect," said Mr. i-averiy. nc nw u.o
more than, any other man to put the ex
change on Its feet during the time of Its
struggle for control In the varlou yards."
Following the nomination of A. V.
Stryker, G. B. Van Norman nominated C.
W. Baker of Chicago, Mr. Moody of St.
Loul nominated H. F. Parry, the local
secretary, and William Megeveny of St.
Paul 'named Secretary Frar.k E. Scott of
Bloux City. Mr. Baker declined the honor
of another election and withdrew from the
contest. The first vote on the three remain
ing candidates gave Stryker 80, Parry 2u
and Scott 17. In this ballot Chicago voted
eleven men, but gave Parry four of Ita
votes. On the second ballot the entire
eleven voted for A. F. Stryker ar.d the vote
stood: Stryker 34. Parry 16 and S-ott 17.
This being a majority. Mr. Parry moved
that the election be made unanimous. H
was seconded by Mr. Scott and It was done
amid good feeling.
A. F. Stryker Is the secretary of th local
exchange and is kr.own as one of the
brightest and hardest working raen around
the yards. To his efforts largely ls de
clared to be due the splendid success of th
entire entertainment. He has the reputa
tion of being fearless, frank and cnr.vlncinj,
and tireless In attention to detail.
Moore t htiHra Treasurer.
J. W. Mooie of Chicago, when ni one
had a favorite for the of:lce. of treastrrei',
was pounced upon by the convention and
made the victim of tin; r-r esirings agiliut
his protest and judgment. It was t.ie oai
chance the convention had to gel even wlih
Moore for talking on every subject of
dlscusfclon during tVee ntlre session. H
wss so overcome by the attack that be.foie
he 'could decline or escape teh convention
I had adjourned.
