"The centennial exhibition of 1S76 celebrated the first 100 yeurs of the independence of the republic of the United States. The Columbian exhibit commemorates the discovery of a continent which has become tho home of people of evory race, the refuge of those persecuted ou account of their devotion to civil and religious liberty and the revolutionary factor in the affairs of this earth, a discovery which has accomplished more for humanity In its materia), its intellectual and its spiritual effects than all other events since the advent of Christ."

THE I.ART SCENE.'

WASHINGTON-, Dec. 22.—The" United States senate, the house of representatives, the executive and judicial departments of the government, the rcpre»entatives of foreign powers and his many friends among the Washington public have paid their last tribute of affection and rcspect to the memory of Senator Preston U. Plumb.

Senator relTor'ii Announcement. Funeral services over his remains were held in the senate chamber Mondny and were as simple as he himself would have wished. It fell to Senator Peffer lo make his first appearance before the senate in the announcement of his colleague's (loath, which proceded the formal services, lie did it with deep feeling and with excellent taste. The presence of President Harrison aud the members of his cabinet, of the diplomatic corps and of the house of representatives in a body lent additional iinpressiveness to the occasion.

Itcmnvlng the liiMiialtis.

At 10 o'clock the casket was borne from the house to the hours.- by eight of the capitol police, under direction of Assistant Ser e.-i: at Arms Merritt Immediately afterward the. small funeral cortege, which consisted of the hearse, drawn by two coal-black horses, caparisoned with heavy robes of black netting, and a carriage in which rode Mr. Merr'tt anl tho private secretary, followed bv a few admirers of the late S"I::tlor. started toward the capitol. 'i here 're no lloral decorations at the house, anil save a small wreath of white immortelles on top of the casket, sent by the chief clerk of the trca-.v.iy department, there was nothing to relieve the somber blackness of the casket which contained all thnt, remained of the late distinguished Kansas senator. The small procession moved slowly down Fourteenth street to Pennsylvania avenue, wending it,s way up through the capitol grounds to the northeast front of the capitol, where the casket was removed from the hearse and carried up the white tnarble steps of the senate wing. At the entrance to the building the remains were met by Sergeant at Arms Valentine, who escorted them through the lower corridors of the building and upstairs to the mar-ble-room in the rear of the senate chamber and only a few feet from the vice president's chair. Thore they were placed on a black catafalque in the center of the room and all persons were requested to retire.

In the Kmatr,

The public galleries were filled long before the regular time for the senate to meet, and when the hour for tho solemn service came there was -not a seat in any part of the chamber to spare. The regular session was very brief: An appropriate prayer by the chaplain: a short, wellphrased address by Senator Peffer announcing the death of his colleague the appointment by the vice president of .Senators Peffer, Palmer, Paddock, Dolpli and Itansom as a committee to accompany the remains. That was all. And then until 1 o'clock, when those invited to the senate entered, there was a subdued murmur of voices discussing tho sudden death and speculating on who would be chosen to succeed the dead in an.

Thft House Members.

The house was not iii session and. therefore, could not as a body take action on the death of .Senator Plumb in time for the funeral. The vice president Sunday evening officially informed Speaker Crisp of Senator Plumb's death, and on behalf of the senate extended a formal invitation to th« speaker nnd members of the house to attend the funeral. He also requested that the usual committoe be appointed. The speaker thereupon issued a notice requesting the attendance of members at the obsequies in the senate.

Impreselvo Ori-inmiUs*.

At the conclusion of the recess the speaker and house of representatives were announced, and when all had taken their seats (Jen. Scofield and Commodore Ramsey entered and a little later the members of the diplomatic corps, those from China, Japan and Corea being in the costumes of their countries. Then the members of the supreme court in their robes entered. Then came the president, followed by Secretary lllaine, Postmaster General Wnnamaker, Secretary Busk, Mr. Spaulding for the treasury, Grant for the war department. Solicitor General Taft for attorney general, Assistant Secretary Soley for the Navy and Assistant Secretary Chandler representing the interior department.

For tIu I.int. Time.

The closed casket, borne by policemen and preceded by the pall-bearers, was covered with flowers. Before them all walked Chaplain Hutler, beginning, as he entered the door, to read the Episcopal service, commencing with: "1 am the resurrection and the life." The service was impressive and lasted but a little while. At its conclusion the pall-bearers reuppoared nnd bore from the chamber the last of the (iettd senator, who would never more reenter there. There was a tear visible in many an eye and handkerchiefs were brought into frequent requisition. lioruc tho Tj*nhi.

At the conclusion of all, the casket wus removed to the Pennsylvania railroad depot, escorted by the senate and the committee from the, house.
