POLITICAL.

Gov. Martin, of Kansas, has called a special session of the Legislature to meet Jan. 19. A caucus of the Kepublican Senators met at Washington on Friday, Dec. 4, for the purpose of considering the question of the election of a President pro tem. Senator Edmunds said that when in tho summer of 1884 the Republicans of tho nation in their convention nominated Gen. Logan for Vice President he (Mr. Edmunds) had thought it right to warn Gen. Logan, and to warn the party, that he should retire from the Presidency of the Senate, and that Gea Logan should bo chosen in his place, and, as they all remembered, ho communicated that opinion anil desire to tho Republican Senators in a formal way. It was thought best at that time that tho change be not made, especially as Gen. Logan did not wish it to bo made. At tho last Presidential election Gen. Logan had received, he believed, the votes of all tho Republicans who had the opportunity to vote, and came very near being the choice of the people for the office of Vice President, which would have made him ex-officio the President of the Senate and under the law charged with the duty of carrying on the Government in case of any disability of tbe President of the United States until an election could be had In this state of things, lio thought it right that tho Repubcan Senators should renew that expression of confidence in Gen. Logan by nominating him for President of the Senate, and he accordingly moved that Gen. Logan he so nominated by accclamation. Several Senators spoke briefly in favor of the nomination, and tho question was put and agreed to unanimously. Senator Logan returned his thanks for the honor, but declined it, saying ho thought he could bo more useful on the floor of the Senate. Samuel J. Tilden has forwarded to Speaker Carlisle a letter suggesting tho necessity of providing for tho defenso of twelve seaport cities before any reduction in the revenues takes place.

MISCELLANEOUS. Essays from many countries have been received by tho director of tho Warner Observatory, to compete for the prize of S9OO in gold offered for the best composition on the red sunsets of 1883 and 1884. The essays aro said to be of an extremely high character. The Barnum wire-works at Detroit, valued at $277,000, and employing two hundred men, were wiioily destroyed by fire. A similar fate befell the E. N. Welch clock factory at Forestville, Ct., tho loss being about $90,000; tho Agawam nail-works at Warcliam, Mass.; and the Logan woolen-mills at Adairsville, Ky. The Farmers’ National Congress, in session at Indianapolis, passed a resolution requesting the restoration of tho tariff duty on wool, and asking Congress to create tho Cabinet office of Secretary of Agriculture. Robert Beverly was re-elected President. The next meeting of tho congress will bo held in St. Paul, Minn. Business failures for the week were 213 in the United States and 26 in Canada, a total of 239, as against 214 for the week preceding. Special telegrams to Bradutreet's report a fairly satisfactory condition of general trade. The movement of merchandise is of moderate volume, notwithstanding tho fact that retailors generally aro not buying freely just previous to the period at which it is customary to take account of stocks. At various leading trade centers business is unevon, yet dealers appear to be confident of the future. A boom in iron, always the precursor of a marked improvement in general business, is reported from Youngstown, Ohio, where several idle furnaces are at onco to be put in blast Fig metal is held for an adyauce of $1.50 per ton. Steel rails to tho amount of 10,000 tons have been ordered at $37, against $27 last summer, and old rails h*ave risen from $lB to $23.

FOREIGN.

The Turkish Ministry has decided to grant autonomy to Eastern Roumelia, and to set aside the commission appointed to restore Turkish administration in that country. The Roumolians denounce tho new decree as a scheme to facilitate the re-entry of the forces of tlie Porte. The Sultan has notified Princo Alexander that ho has sent a commission to Pirot to assist in arranging an honorable peace witli King Milan. The Prime Minister of Greece has ordered tho expulsion of all Ottoman Consuls. Some of the Routnelian heroes in tho recent battles have notified Prince Alexander that .they will not consent to the separation of their country from Bulgaria, At a meeting of citizens .of Eliilippopolis it was resolved not to, recognize .the Sultan’s special commission, whereupon the Russian agent gave warning to those present that liis Government would refuse assistance to the Roumelians. The Spanish revolutionists are reported to be actively at work, and Senor JZorilla is said to have sent large sums of money to hta adherents. It is thought possible that two risings may occur simultaneously—ono by the Republicans, the other by the Carlists.

LAID TO REST.

The Remains of Vice-President Hendricks Consigned to the Grave Indianapolis Crowded with Distinguished People to Pay Respect to His Memory. impressive Services in the Church Where He Had Worshiped During His Lifetime. Lying in State. The remains of the late Vice President Hendricks lay in state at the City HaU in Indianapolis from Sunday forenoon to Monday afternoon, the 30th ult. and were viewed bv over 50,000 people. So great were the crowds at times that the military and police were called into requisition to keep the mass moving and to prevent a blockade. When the doors of the building were closed a waiting crowd, numbering thousands, stood in line trying to take a last glance at the face of the dead statesman. At 4 o’clock p. in. Monday the doors were closed, and the casket was borne through the south entrance to the street, where it was placed in the heffl-Be, and, escorted by the four Indianapolis military companies, was returned to the parlor of the homestead. All along the line of march the people flocked to see the sad spectacle. Public Sorrow. On Tuesday, the Ist of December, the mortal remains of Thomas Andrew Hendricks, the fifth Vice President to dio during his term of office, were conveyed to the tomb prepared for their reception. The clergy of Indianapolis, without respect to sect, joined in the obsequies, the bells of all the churches tolled a requiem, and the presence of the populace in the column which followed his funeral car, or stood as silent spectators of the solemn spectacle, attested their fealty to his memory. The early morning • trains pn all the railways brought delegations from the' national capital and all the leading cities of the Union, to gether with an influx of people from all tho interior cities and hamlets of Central Indiana and Illinois. The train arrivals swelled the multitudes on ,the streets to an extent to impede the ordinary progress on all the chief thoroughfares. The emblems of mourning which began to appear on public and private buildings tho day of the \ice President's death had grown in quality and design until the whole city was in funeral garb. Washington street presented an almost unbroken line of drafted houses, while on every business street, and even along the residence streets, the people were lavish in their display of the signs of public sorrow. Portraits of the deceased, all shrouded in black, were profusely hung in windows. The general effect told in mute eloquence of the high respect with which the people of Indianapolis regarded their fellow-townsman.

At the Modest Home. One of tho central points of attraction for the visiting multitude waa the modest home of the late Vice President, a plain, two-story brick structure. On the front door of th&house was a blaek rosette, from which was pendent a strip of black crape, which constituted tho only outward emblem of mourning. The scene presented in the interior of the house, however, carried with it all the evidence of death. Emblems of mourning and memorial floral designs were at hand everywhere. The oil portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks were almost hidden in banks of flowers and trailing smilax. The most notable representation of the designs in flowers was that of the log oabin in which Mr. Hendricks was bom in Ohio. It stood at the head of his coffined remains, and was the work of ladies of Shelbyville, where Mr. Hendricks had formerly lived. It was six feet in length, and four in'height, its sides being composed of calla lilies, hyacinths, carnations, and roses. The roof was of English ivy and smilax, and the chimney of red and white carnations. On one side of the miniature structure, in purple immortelles, was the inscription - “The Home of My Boyhood;” and beneath, “Shelbyville.” On the end of the cabin was suspended a black satin banner bearing, in letters of gold: “God’s fingers touched him and he slept;” and the second inscription underneath: “Shelbyville mourns her distinguished and gifted son.” At 9 o’clockJJrs. Hendricks entered tho room for her last leave-taking, accompanied only by her brother and Mrs. Morgan. The ordeal was most trying and the desolate woman seemed to be utterly prostrated, clinging to the last to the clay so soon to bo hidden forever from her view, and impressed with the placid and life-like appearance of tb" dead, she desired to preserve this last scene, and so, late as it was, she sent .for a photographer to take a picture of tho casket. Shortly,, after this the pall-bearers arrived. The draped hearso and the carriages for the family and friends were marshaled before the door, and preparations were made for the final removal of the body. ,This was done without further leave-taking. At tlie Church. The police and military kept the curious but always respectful mass of people out of the way, and the little cavalcade moved quietly with its military escort through the densely lined streets to the Cathedral of St. Paul. The casket was borne into the church at 11:40 o’clock, the vast congregation having already been seated, with the exception of the immediate relatives and tho church vestry. The officiating clergy, four in number — Bißhop Knickerbocker, of the Indianapolis Diocese; the Rev. Dr. Stringfellow, of Montgomery, Ala., the first .rector of St. Paul’s, and under whoso ministrations Mr. Hendricks joined the church; the Rev. Dr. Fulton, of St. Louis, a former rector of St. Paul’s; and the Rev. Dr. Jenckes, the present rector—in their robes of office, mot the remains at the main entrance of the cathedral on Illinois street. The body was borne up the central aisle, the clergymen and members of tho vestry going in advance. Bishop Knickerbocker voiced the opening sentence of the burial service, “I am the resurrection and the life,” followed by tho Rev. Drs. Stringfellow and pulton in their recitation of the other verses used for tho dead, until the casket had been carried and placed outside the chancel. The great audience stood while the impressive scene was enacted. After tho bier came the widow, leaning on the arm of her brother, Mr. S. W. Morgan, followed by the other relatives, all in deep mourning. When the casket had been placed in front of the chancel rail the choir sang the anthem “Lord, Lot Me Know My End.” The lesson for the dead was then read by the Rev. Dr. Jenckes. This was followed by the singing of the hymn “Lead, Heavenly Light,” by the choir, the au.dience joining. The Rev. Dr. Jenckes, speaking from the lectum, delivered an eloquent and touching funeral oration. "Mr. Hendricks’youth,” said he, “has a prolificHesson for the youths of our land. In an adjoining county some fifty yearß ago his tutelage began. The days so often spent by thoughtless boys in pointless diversions from hard study he, with energy and application, devoted to the acquisition of useful, permanent knowledge, laying, with painstaking earnestness, and perseverance, and zeal, the foundations of that sturdy, indomitable character which in later life carried him to the proud pinnacle of exalted success. The years of his early manhood were years of trial and comparative privation. With the sturdy men who were his co-laborers in the aggressive work, he carved out in tho wilderness a great, and prosperous, and happy commonwealth. He was an honest, brave, exemplary young man, who Bcomed to do a mean or unworthy action; whb recognized the restraining influenced (if moral obligations, and by both precept and examplo- inculcated probity and purity of life. ' “Then in maturer years we havo this sturdy, hearty man, with a strong mind and a ''warm heart in a sound body, essaying an active, earnest, prominent part in t the affairs of his State ana country. As the second officer in tho administration of this great nation he was everywhere and always the same able, conservative, consistent, and conscientious character. “No one who appealed to him for sympathy, counsel, or assistance ever turned away empty. Though his right and his left hands wore not in

each other’s confidence, | still there is a record somewhere of his open-handed Hberahty in numberless cases of destitution and suffering. He experienced in his daily life the joy of faith and the patience of hope and the comfort of love. These were with him ever: faith, hope, and charity—these three, but the greatest of these was charity. And the admirably organized charities of our city have long felt the guiding impulses of his skillful hand and been-eheered by the sympathetic throbbings of his generous heart. “Dare we tread upon the verge of hallowed ground and touch upon the conjugal relations of Gov. Hendricks and describe how for forty years and two months he passed along with dignified, steady, aud faithful pace beside the noble and devoted woman whom he had chosen for better or for worse; and how, through storm and sunshine, like Isaac and Rebecca, they lived faithfully together in perfect love and peace ? “Eminent citizen, faithful friend, Christian, gentleman, honest man—farewell 1” When the speaker had concluded, Mrs. Doner, of Chicago, sang “Rock of Ages,” the Bishop closing with prayers and benediction. The casket was then lifted and borne from the church, the audience remaining seated. To tho Cemetery. The bells of all the city churches began their tolling when the remains were taken from the house, and continued their pealing during thecontinuation of the church rites and while the procession was on its long march to Crown HiH Cemetery.

The movement was slow, the progress attimes being almost imperceptible, until the column emerged upon Meredian street, a broad and very handsome avenue leading to the entrance to the beautiful Crown Hill Cemetery. The cortage moved on by the handsome homes of the wealthy, whose windows and sidewalks were filled with great throngs. The broad thoroughfare stretched out into the country beyond the limits of the city, and when the head of tho column came within sight of the cemetery, a milo distant, the Indianapolis Light Artillery began to fire minute guns, whioh was continued, until the hearse approached the grave. At the Tomb. Winding through a thick growth of Beach and maple trees, the military division came upon a large open view, and, approaching the ope*, grave on the Hendricks family lot, which occupies the most commanding view in the grounds, turned to tbe left and then again to the right, finally completely encircling the tract of which the Hendricks plat forms a part. The most careful attention had been given tothe matter of decoration at the cemetery. The monument of the deceased statesman—a massive aud beautiful shaft of about thirty feet in height, and built entirely of polished gray granite—stands on probably the most attractive as well as commanding ground in the inclosure. Immediately opposite is the exquisite chapel of the Cemetery Association, while a little to the northwest is the bury-ing-groundof the Indiana soldiery. In the midst of this a tall flag-staff bore a suporb garrison flag at half-mast, and another of the same character was trained about the monument. The latter was covered to a suitable extent with srnilax and choice flowers, and about the two sides of the base, on the interior, were ferns and potted plants in groat profusion. The grave was closely walled up with mosseß, smilax and cut flowers, and the casket was seemingly deposited in a chamber of floral beauty. A heavy marble vault, of size proportioned to that of the casket, was first placed in position, and, on the deposit of the latter, received its cap slab of liko material, and this in turn was laden with flowers. The last. glimpse of the sorrowing widow and mourners thus suggested nothing of the unpleasant features of the ordinary interment. About the grave wide mats had been placed to protect the immediate participants from the dampness of the turf, and they also extended down the inclining sword to the carriage-way. The grave of little Morgan, the idolized son and only child of the Vice President and his widow, lies immediately to the left of the resting place of his illustrious father, and on thewest side of the monument. The singular affeotion entertained for the little one by his honored parents is known as a household word in the community where they lived. The utmost carehad been taken by those in charge of the matter to decorate the little one's grave and its surroundings. When the hearse had halted near the lot, the casket was borne to the grave. The venerable Bishop Knickerbocker preceded it and read a few verses for the dead, and after tho lowering of tho casket the Rev. Dr. Jenckes read the committal services, the Bishop closing with prayer and benediction. Only the widow and her supporters approached the grave, the remaining multitude standing off, silent sp. ctato.s. Honors for tho Head. At Washington the Supreme Court met on. Monday, the 30th ult. On the opening of the court Attorney General Garland made formal announcement of the death of the Vice President, and, after paying a tender tribute to his memory, moved that the court adjourn out of respect &>• the deceased. Chief Justice Waite responded, expressing regret at the sad event, and adjourned the court until Thursday, the 3d hub. The Indiana Bar Association met at Indianapolis, Judge Gresham presiding. A lengthy memorial was adopted and brief eulogistic addresses delivered by distinguished members of tho association. At South Bend, Ind., memorial services were held in a large rink, which was completely packed. Business waa generally suspended, and the services were participated in by all classes, Republicans and Democrats alike. The New York Stock Exchange and Boards of Trade in nearly all the cities, thq departments at Washington, the departments in. the various Stato capitals, and all the pOsioffices were closed out of respect to the memory of the deceased. Incidents of the Hay. Bells wore tolled during the afternoon in many of the cities of Virginia. . ~ President Cleveland sent an autograph letter ' of condolence to Mrs. Hondricks.
