The Wonderful Tribute Paid to Gam. Js^ betta.

JG^.
Jan. 6.—A Paris special
igivea the following account of Gambetta's funeral Since the funeral of Thiers no such tribute has been paid to the remains of a public man as that which brought the population of Paris into the streets this morning.. It was evident from the eagerness and anxiety manifested that they were Droved by a deeper Reeling than ^it of a desire to witness #n inxr"^sjng
ancj UUUsual
spectacle.
ordinary impulse of curiosity
sways the masses on such occa
sions had given place to ^profound and measured grief which the loss of a tried public servant and benefactor, sprung from their own ranks always evokes in the popular heart. In the front of the the catafalque on the platform borne «n the shoulders of twelve men, was a colossal bust of Gambetta, surrounded by flowers artistically arranged to represent the national colors. This was preceded by three chariots, richly decorated, and bearing crowns and garlands sent \jy different cities and towns of Frar
ce
xiie pall-bearers were M.
r'alliere, minister of the interior iMllot, minister of war Bressen, president of the chamber Peyrat, vice president of the senate Mativier, representing the electors of Belleville 'Falateur, representing the bar •of Paris Sierecc, mayor of Ohors Dr. Fieuzel, andEtienne, deputy, representing the family and Martin Fullet, president of the
Union Republicane. It is not often that such a large military array is witnessed in the streets of Paris as turned out at the funeral. All the troops of the garrison turned out to do honor to the man who jvas a member of the government defense that saved the honor of the country. The force consisted of the following troops: Nine regiments of the line, two battalions of Chasseurs, four regiments of artillery, two squadrons Du Train, two regiments of Chesseurs a Cheval, two 'regiments of dragoons, two regiments of Curiassiers, the gen d'annerie Mabele, the gen d'armerieof the Seine, the'garde de Paris, sapeurs and pumpers. The troops lined the streets through which the cortege passed, adding much to the imposing character of the procession.
KOCTE OF PROCESSION.
And now a word as to the route to thfe cemetery. Great disappointment was caused by the abandonment of the great boulevards, the more direct and usual road to Pere La Chaise, but there was good reason for it. Encumbered as they arc with carriages of the New Year, it-was to be feared that the passage of such an enormous multitude through them could not be effected without many accidents and probably loss of life. Besides, it would have put a stop for the day to the trade of the large class of poor hawkers, who •count upon this resource to make up for the short-comings of the past year. So, the council of ministers wisely decided that the cortege should take another route. The following was adopted: Pont De La Concorde, Place De La ConcorJc, Rue De Rivoli, Boulevard Sebastopol, line De Turbigo, Place Do La Repnblique, Boulevard Voltaire, Rue De Gharonne, Avenue Fhillippi Auguste, Boulevard Menilniontant Cemetiere.
TIIE OKATOHS.
The following orators delivered speeches over the body at the entrance to Pere La Chaise: SI. Henri Brisson, in name of the chamber of deputies M. Peyrat, in that of'the senate M. Devis, in name of the government M. Metivier, in that of the electorial committee of Belleville M. Challcmel Lacour, in the name of the government national defence M. Chauflor, in that of the association of Alsace Lorraine M. Kablc, in the name of Alsatians and M. Falateuff, in behalf of the order of advocates in the name of the bar of Paris.
KL'IKKD SPECULATOR.
The chance of route caused heavy loss and disappointment to the restaurants and other establishments which had let windows at enormous prices on the boulevard and caused correspondingly rejoicing among the owners of similar houses on the line of the procession. The sums expended for garlands and other floral tributes for the funeral are unprecedented. Among the most expensive and admired are two from American Minister Mr. Morton and General read.
QUARREL AT THE CATAFALQUE.
On the defile before the Catafalque yesterday some angry words took "•place between M. Paul de Holde, of the Post and M. Mayer, editor of the
Lanterne, which led to a hostile messago on the part of the later in the evening.

LONDON,
Jan. 6.—A Paris dispatch
says the spectacle there is unexampled From 8 o'clock this morning traffic has been stopped on the south side of the river. Deputations of special police gave directions to the ever increasing mass of deputations which came up, each anxious to secure a good position from the Place des Invalides. The scene presented was of the strangest imaginable aspect. Above the swavin mass of crowds, which covered it. are banners, wreaths and enormous masses of flowers borne on men's shoulders.
In the Rue de Luniversite from the square up to the esplanade were deputations who were unable to lind standing placg in the court of the Palais Bourbon. The whole front of the building was draped in black with a large silver candelabra between the pillars, giving a greenish flame. A whole corps armoe was drawn toward this point. A kind of shudder seemed to pass through the crowd.
A formidable demonstration seemed about to break out. From time to time cries of Viva a la Republique!'" "Viva la France!" and even "Viva Gambetta!" were raised by the compact crowds assembled on the pavej^^vliich vvere echoed by the peo•oie"^^tftnce. Upon the railing of ile at a a is .^e luilleries were men, the Garden jeep. standing on the two or attitude of torture, stone had occupied for several which tbe

the railings the narrow ledge swarmed with others clinging to the tailing with one hand, the other being free, waving their hats.
The windows of the Hotel Oontinfehtal had been hired at fabnlbve prices, even thirty guineas beihg men tioned. The crowd along the Rue Rivoli and the spectators in the windows of fasaicnable neighborhoods appeared coli and much more influenced by motives of curiosity than the bulk of the populace.
All along the Rue de Rivoli flags bound with crape were placed, but they were not very numerous. From the Hotel do Ville they became thicker and appeared on every story. The churches were not called on to share in the celebration and shut their doors. The new Hotel de Ville was bare of flags or crape, though it would certainly have gone into mourning had it been Henri Rochefort instead of Gambetta.
By the time the end of the processiou had passed through the Rue de Rivoli the head was nearing the cemetery of the Pere la Chaise, Which was reached at 1:30) when Devis spoke on behalf of the government, and Chaunffour on behalf of Alsace Lorraine societies in Paris.
After the speeches were over the body was carried Into the cemetery, which .was closed to the public, and the body was laid In a temporary resting placs, and the procession dispersed. Tlie passing of the procession and of the crowd around the coffin at the entrance of the cemetery ended at 3:30.
It is estimated that 300,000 persons were present.
THE ORATIONS.
The Minister ol justice.
D&RIS,
Jan. 6.—Devis, the minister of
justice, in speaking in behalf of the government, said he saluted the remains of -a groat citizen. The loss of such a man caused national grief. The fatheTland mourned one who loved and defended it passionately. The deceased had loved France and had faith in her destinies even when hope seemed to be in defiance of fortune. His resolution to let her abdicate her place among nations would be ever remembered apart from his heroic defence his political principles and profound veneration for the will of "the nation commanded admiration. Though he descended prematurely to the grave, he left his country free, the master of its destinies, under a respected, popular government. The republic at home is pacific, and the dignity of France abroad, henceforth, is beyond attack. The memory of Gambetta remains in the hearts of all patriots.
ChafFour's Oration.
Cliaffour, on behalf of Alsace Lorraine societies in Paris, said Gambetta was the life and soul of the defense at Bordeaux. He represented our distress after our mutilation, and he remained the representative of our invincible hope. He had truly declared the inhabitants of the lost provinces were doubly frenchmen. Generous workman, he died trusting in the future. His work remains, both that which he accomplished, and that which was the magnanimous ambition of his life. Our tears for him are not the sterile ones of despair. Our pain should be only that of men who return to work with fresh ardor. The great friend of Alsace Lorraine is dead but France lives and will respond to the appeals of her glorious destiny, vive la France.
Iirisson.
Brisson in his oration dwelt on Gambetta's effort to promote republicanism in France. He concluded: "Let not our grief be sterile, over Gambetta's bier, around which are grouped his friends, men of all parties, representatives of the army and the children of the provinces so dear to us. We swear we will labor to accomplish that union which was Gambetta's pra}'er."
The government decided this morning to accept the responsibility for the speeches ot M. M. Brisson, Peyrat and Devis and General Bellot. All other speeches were of an absolutely private character.
The newspaper Chat Noiv, having utilized the occasioTT to attack Germany was seized this morning.
Almost every member of the chamber of deputies and senate viewed Gambetta's coffin yesterday. "When the gates were formally closed against
the public some persons endeavored to..Pawn °®ce

How Gambetta Was Wounded. PARIS,
Jan. 6.—Reinach, an intimate
personal friend of Gambetta, publishes detailed account of the wound, intended to dispel various falsities. Jambetta, he states, was trying a new revolver, when the breech stuck fast nving to one of the cartridges not fitring properly. While holding the pistol by the muzzle, he endeavored to olose the breech forcibly, when the •artridge exploded. The lady who has recently been prominently mentioned, far from being the cause of the accilent, nursed him devotedly thirtyfour da vs.
FURIOUS MRS. FOSDICK.
rbe Office Thrown Into a Whirl of Kxcitemcnt "by a Neglected Wife. WASHINGTON,
Jan. G.—Commissioner
McFarland, of the land office, is an extremely decorous person and prides himself on the preservation of dignity throughout all of his precincts of the interior department. He was shocked beyond all bearanee yesterday, and the result was that a young man named Dering Fosdick, a gentleman of remarkably fine physical proportions, was dismissed and the office is scandalized. Some months ago, perhaps not over six, Fosdick married a very estimable and amiable young lady, a daughter of Commodore Whiting, of the navy. For awhile it seems that Fosdick lias been in the habit of showing attentions to a pretty young lady clerk of the department, and his wife, hearing of it, became very much incensed. The story goes that she railed upon Commissioner McFarland and laid her grievance before the patriarch of the land office, who called up the recreant husband and administered some sound advice. Fosdick, however, made light of the fatherly counsel of his superior, and insisted upon walking to and from the oflice with the young lady. Yesterday afternoon the land office was thrown" into a
WHIRL OK EXCITEMENT
by the appearance of Sirs. Fosdick, armed with a rawhide, in search of the young lady. She went .to the room where the oflender was employed and assault her, but
made an attempt to the prettv clerkess escaped unhurt. Mrs. Foad'ick started to ran down the hall, whip in himd, 'alter her. Back mid lourth, up ani dowu, across the

whole length of the building they flew, the fleeirrf one but a step or two inad^tftfceTana the terrible rawhide cutting .thie air ilniofet in reach of her. ThefcKass was brought to a close by the watchman and tne dignified Commissioner gravely informed of the cause of the commotion. Having slept upon it last night he sent for Mr. Fosdick to-day and announced his peremptory discharge.
The high connections of Mrs. Fosdick raised the matter into the domain "&f choice scandal, and it is alleged that a divorce suit will be the next chapter of the 6tory.

NEW YORK,
Jan.
G.—Thestory
of the
defalcation of the state treasurer of Tennessee, and that his losses had been created by speculations in Wall street, caused some excitement in financial circles in this city. As a large portion of the bonds are held abroad as well as in this country, the principal bankers of this city have received numerous cable messages and telegrams respecting the cdbrse to be pursued with regard to the Tennessee bonds, and this lias added to the excitement created by the anxious inquiries of those holding bonds in this city. A reporter called on a number of New York firms reported to be deeply interested in southern transactions, but from the heads of those houses nothing could be learned as to Treasurer Polk having operated in any way on the general market but it is said that, having great faith in the honesty- of the people of Tennessee, he not only bought heavily himself of Tennessee bonds, but advised his friends to purchase them, feeling sure that the injunction would never be allowed and that the debt would be honestly paid. Polk bought bonds as high as 7G per cent., if not higher, and is said to have been compelled to sell at 50 per cent., or even less. They are even much lower to-day than at the time Polk sold, and he is supposed to hold a large block of these bonds at the present time.
Here He Goes.
NASHVILLE,
Tenn., January l.—An
American special from Milan, Tenu., says: State Treasurer Polk, accompanied by Mr. Van Polk and a servant, reached Milan, Wednesday night, and left Thursday morning, it is supposed, in the direction of Southern Mexico, where the 1,'olks have an interest in a silver mine. Van Polk's baggage was becked for New Orleans. Colonel Marsh Polk's family stayed at Milan, Friday night, and went to Bolivar, their old home, this morning.
The house of representatives to-day adopted a resolution for a joint committee to investigate the amount short in the accounts of the treasurer whether the money was lost by speculation or loaned to personal friends whether the defalcation is of recent occurrence or of long standing whether it was concealed by the treasurer alone or with the connivance of others and report the result as early as practical. It has thus far been positively discovered by proof that the defalcation began five years ago. Also that' one check drawn by tiie treasurer for $57,000 went to pay for his interest in a silver mine in Mexico and it is believed/that he also supplied the money to pay for another interest of one of his partners in the mine. It is known that $125,000 of public funds belonging to treasurer's account are on deposit in two of the Nashville banks, and it is hoped there may be sums in other banks. Polk had been interested in various speculative schemes in Tennessee in large amounts.

iurce their way in. The widespread $75 a breastpin containing thirty-five
nature of the ieeling excited by the ieatli of Gambetta may be judged t'rom the fact that the Royalist Popular league postponed for a week a grand banquet which had been announced before his death for to-night. All the .narkets excepting the Bourse closed. All the ambassadors, including Prince Von Hobenloke, the German representative, were present at the start of die funeral procession, and sent their carriages to join the cortege. The deputation from Alsace Lorraine met with sympathetic demonstrations ilong the" entire route. The spectacle of a formidable army of sympathizers, members of associations which followed. and his adversaries holding iloof and maintaining silence, cause a vague feeling of uneasiness.
Jan. 6.—George Sey
mour alias Stiles, colored, entered a

diamonds and valued at $3,000. Being promptly arrested, he w-as searched and a memorandum found on him showing that he had pawned a very valuable diamond at another place. While in the prisoner's dock he was recognized as the former waiter at the West End hotel, Long Branch, where last summer Mrs. Case, of Pittsburg, was robbed of about $30,000 worth of diamonds.

Later on he and the Lily enjoyed a sleigh-ride on the Grand boulevard. He had a lively team and a new sleigh from a livery stable, and handled the reins rather carelessly. This evening Freddie appeared at Haverly's theatre, which was crowded with large audience, the Lily appearing in the play Unequaled Match. When it became generally known he was in the house, he attracted more attention than Langtry. He seemed ill at ease, and left the house twice during the evening. His servant stated that Mrt Gebha rt goes to St. Louis next week whe.-e Langtry plays an engagement of one week. Mr. Drake, proprietor of the hotel, says Freddie can remain at the Grand Pacific so long as he acts like a gentleman and pays his bill. -V51

WASHINGTON,Jan.L—Petitionswere

The presidential sucQlfHon bill was taken np. Senator Maxey saitU We ought not to go to the legislative department or to the judicial department lor successors to the presidential office in the cases contemplated by thS bill, and the plan proposed of takingihem from the executive departments ofsthe government was clearly the best that could be adopted.
Senator Lapham said Oils bill opened up the whole question succession in the discharge of the peresidential office and nate the subject could ni ed free from excitemenj rasments which surrou time of the shooting of field. In his (Lapham's) inability" of President when the assassin's shothatl been fired and the vice president would have had the right to assume tfie performance of the duties and pow^s of office at the time, and the fact that he had forborne to do so was sufficient answer to the intimations made ia some quarters that he had been disposed to grasp at the powers and the emoluments of the presidency.
of the
was fortube discussid embaritat the sident Garlent the ield began
Senator Jones aBked Senator Lapham whether the vice-prcisident was to judge of the existence of ^such an "inability" on the part of1 the president as would justify him ^.assuming the duties of the office.
Senator Lapham replied that by the express terms of the constitution, and as a matter of necessity, the vice-pres-ident was to be the judge in such a case, and if after the inability of President Garfield began a necessity had arisen for issuing a proclamation like that issued in April,
1861,
and the vice-
president had refused to issue it he could have been impeached for such refusal.
Senator Jones could not see how that could be, if Senator Lapham was correct in holding that the vice president was to be the judge o! when he was required.to assume duties of president.
Senator Lapham still insisted the vice president was sole judge in such a case. The vice president,- he said, did not become the president upon assuming the duties of that office, but was still vice president exercising the powers and duties of the president. He was not bound to take any other oath than that administered to him as vice president and if he (Lapham) had been in Vice President Arthur's place he would have declined to take any other oath.
Senator" Jones—The constitution does not provide for that. Senator Lapham—The constitution does not provide against it either.

NIPPED IN THE BUD.
The Scheme of Bufua Hatch to Gain Control ot the National Yellowstone Park Frustrated.
WASHINGTON,
Jan. 6.—On the first of
September last, acting secretary of the interior, Joslyn, agreed to lease to Carroll T. Hobart and Henry F. Douglas, of Dakota territory,' 4,440 acres within the Yellowstone National Park for hotel purposes. Hobart and Douglas associated with them Eufus Hatch, and the lease was drawn, ready for signature. On December 27th, the senate, at the instance ot Senator Vest, instructed the secretary of the interior to furnish the senate with copies of the agreement and proposed lease. The matter was referred to the committee on territories to investigate, and the committee inclines to the conclusion that the interior department has transcended its autority in making the agreement, and agreed to report a bill clearly defining the duty of the department, and also extending the area of the park to the east to a line north and south through Cedar Mountain, and southward to the fortyfourth parallel of the north latitude, an addition of about- 3,334 square miles to the park, the whole area of which would be 6,644 square miles* The bill provides all territory within the limits of the park shall be withdrawn from settlement,-oc-cupancy, or sale, and set apart as a public park or pleasure ground for the people of the United States. The present trespassers are to be removed, and further trespass prevented, troops to be used if necessary. Fish are only to be taken by hook and line, and thg killing of game prohibited. The secretary of the interior may grant leases for terms not exceeding ten years of small parcels of the ground, but no more ground shall be leased than is necessary for hotels or storehouses for the accommodation of visitors, but no exclusive privilege or monopoly of any kind to be granted which shall in any manner interfere with the free and unrestricted access of the public to all portions of the park.
Extension of the limits of the park was recommended by the committe, cn the suggestion of Gen. Sheridan, who, as commander of the military department embracing the park, made a careful study of the territory and was convinced the park should include the proposed extension on account of geographical and other physical conditions.

KALAKAU'S CORONATION.
Rumors of a Revolution at the Time. SAK FRANCISCO, Jan. 6. The United States ship Alaska is ordered to Honolulu, to be there at the time of Kalakau's coronation. The Lackawanna, now at Honolulu, will remain there, and it is expected the Wachusetts will be ordered there. The principal naval powers will send war ships to Honolulu. The avowed object is to pay proper courtesies, but it is understood the real object is to protect foreign interests in the case of trouble which may arise from the opposition to the extravagant arrangement for the coronation. The rumor is circulated of possible revolution. H. W. Severance, the Hawaiian consul, in this city, places no faith in such rumors, which he says are the talk of a lot of disappointed officeseekers. J. D. Speckles, who has extensive interests in the island says he fears no trouble.

Our Daniel,
Cincinnati News (Dem.)
Our Washington correspondent sketches brilliantly the disgust of Mr. Voorhees at the action of the Democratic members of the-bouse from Indiana on the reform bill. We are sorry that Mr. Voorhees has been wandering of late from Democratic ideas. We do not wonder that he thinks everybody else wandering. That is human nature. Not long ago he switched away off, heaven knows exactly where, on the tariff, and he will be as much astonished c:'. II. obstinacy of Indiana Democrats that they are not with him on that question. Many a good dog wan-4d«m«-when the tfack »uttM~6t)8cure, and to this there is no objection. When the Democratic pack opens at full cry
Mr. Voorhees will be along with the foremost. Indeed, we doubt if he is now far from the position of the News on the tariff. It has been along time since he said anything on the subject, and there have been many opportunities to learn since that time. Mr. Voorhees has simply exercised the right of every Democrat to propose, and it would be a sad day for the country and the party when that right should be denied or when its leaders should so lose independence as to conceal their views or deny their convictions. It is best that all objections should be presented, even frivolous objections, and Mr. Voorhees has done this well as to the civil service bill. Democracy has adjudged the case against his views.

Taking Time by the Forelock. Indianapolis Herald.
Last week the Cincinnati Commercial and the Herald mentioned the fact that Hon. Wm. Mack, of Terre Haute, was looming as a prominent Democratic candidate for governor in 1884. A young Democrat, hearing of the "boom," called upon Mr. Mack, submitting a specimen of his penmanship as an evidence of official fitness, ana said: "I see that yon will probably be the next governor of the state. If you are, I would like to have a place. I don't ask for the best position, but I want to be recognized." Mr. Mack did not crush the hopes of the young man at one stroke, but with a frankness and a blandness peculiar to his rugged naUire, he replied: "Certainly, I shall remember you, but in the mean time if anything good comes to you, I would advise yor not to let it slip through your hands.'
