ous accident that the misstatements cf fact are all on the same !de all tending to throw discredit upon the corporations and to Increase the bitterness of the laboring clashes against capital Is an accident from which one wouH prefer to draw no Inferences. One conclusion only may be drawn, which Is that no matter on what side the errors are, the mere existence of such errors, so many and some of such enormity, alone suffices to make the report entirely worthless and discreditable as a public document: discreditable alike to the commissioners themselves and to the country." - CnRrnf V. D! IIenel. TERRE HAUTE. Ind.. Nov. 13. Eugene V. Debs, American Railway Union president. Is much pleastd with the statement of the national railroad commission. Issued yesterday. "It is a complete vindication of the policy of the union during: the Chicago strike," he said. "Nothing: else could come from fair-minded men after a thorough Investigation of affairs." The American Railway Union leader roundly scored Attorneygeneral Olney for the decision . recently rendered in the case of the Reading railroad employes. Debs Fays Olney's Reading case ruling was prepared before the election, and would not have been rendered had the Democrats been successful J' that he Is more responsible for the Irretrievable rout of the party than President Cleveland. After arraigning Olney aa a corporation and trust attorney generally, he concludes by saying: "To have been consistent, when the constitutional rights of the Reading employes were struck down by Judge Dallas. Olney should have sanctioned the outrage and backed It up." Congremnn Klefer View. - ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 13. Congressman Klefer was asked to-day for an expression of his views concerning fhe report of the strike commission in relation 'td arbitration. The commission recommended.,the adoption of the main provisions of the' Kieferj bill, which recognizes labor organizations as Incorporated bodies. Colonel Klefer said: "I have read the full report this morning, and believe that, in the main, the recommendations are of the right kind. Section 2 of the bill I urged before the House committee on labor provides that whenever one of the parties to a controversy are the representatives of a duly constituted labor or- - ganization to the number of fifty, and having a membership in the United States of more than one thousand, their side of the question shall be 'submitted to arbitration under the terms as provided in the other sections. I am satisfied that before the Fifty-fourth Congress adjourns there "Will be a national board of arbitration organized on the lines suggested in the report." TO AVERT STRIKES.

NEW YORK, 'Nov. 13. The New York bankers gave a banquet to-night. Governor Flower was the principal speaker. After a. humorous reference to the fact that he had not b?en re-electeJ. Governor Flower sal J: "I see by the representatives of the bankers In convention at Saratoga that you are making a step further to obtain a more elastic currency, which I consider essentially necessary. It will, however, like all other Important legislative measures, take several years before It becomes law. I thought at one time that bankers would not complain of greenbacks, but an Issue of greenbacks woull be the worst thing which could happen to our poor people, for it would make the rich poor and the poor poorer. There is no use in telling a banker that a greenback is kooI enough to swear off his taxes cn, as it would not afford any real security. I am glad that you have got over the panic of last year, to which 1 may say that you partly contributed, for when times got hard you refused to lend your money to traders, merchants or even to brokers. (Laughter.) I think you are soon to have happier times. 1 am sure that you Republicans see it. I think that the wave of depression has receded and that a wave of prosperity is now pa.esinc over this State and over this country which will last for at least ten years, and I trust forever."

NEW ELECTRIC HOAD

CHICAGO 3IOXEY HACKING A TltOI LEY LI.E TO REACH FRAIVKLIX. Indiana nturnl Gnu Company's Superintendent Shoot III 3Iun at Thorntovrn Other State Xerr. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FRANKLIN. Ind.. Nov. 13. Grafton Johnson and John A. Polk, of Greenwood, appeared before the County Commissioners In session here to-day with a request for a right of way from the Marion county line to Franklin to put down an electric railway, which is being contemplated from this city to Indianapolis. A request was also made to allow Pleasant township to vote on a proposition looking to the donation of $31,000 to the enterprise in order that the line may be completed to Greenwood. The latter request was granted. It is probable that the proposition will be acted on favorably by the citizens of that township, as Greenwood desires the completion of the line, which would greatly increase her transportation facilities. The first proposition made to the commissioners was deferred until the regular December meet ing of the board. The business men of Franklin largely discourage the plan of extending the line to Franklin, feeling that it will greatly disparage the mercantile interests of the city. Many who are not In business favor the move as a lessening of railway fare to Indianapolis. It is understood that Chicago capital is back of the enterprise, hlle Greenwood moneyed men are also interested. Should the line be completed to Franklin it is highly prob able that it may even extend to Columbus. TRAGEDY AT TIIORXTOWX. Indiana Natural Gam Company's O Di cer Shoot a. Sinn. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LEBANON, Ind., Nov. 12. About 6 o'clock last night Thomas Taylor was shot and mortally wounded by Jacob Schaffer, the district superintendent of the Indiana Natural Gas Company at Thorntown, ten miles from this city. Taylor wa3 seen at his home a short time after the occurrence and related the following: "I was in LaRue's grocery when Schaffer and his brother-in-law, Joe Arthur, came to the door and asked for me. I did not expect any trouble, so I went out where they were. Schaffer asked me why I had been telling around town that he owed me. I told him that he did owe me and he knew it. He called me a liar and I called him one back. He had his hand in his hip pocket and I saw a revolver. They started after me and I knocked Schaffer down with my fist and started to run. but Arthur held me. charrer recovered from the blow 1 had struck him and pulling a gun shot me twice." Taylor's story is confirmed by those present at the time or the shooting. Ira Sharp, an attorney who has been re tained in KchanTer s defense, says the trouble occurred over the inspection of some Dlumbinsr done by Taylor at the Bapt ist Church. Superintendent McLavy, of the gas company, says Schaffer had been drink. lng a great deal lately and the company intended to move him to Sheridan this week. Schaffer was arrested and placed in Jail. THE IIARTEH CASE. Investigation by the Chnrltlc Board Denlnl of Warden French. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Nov. 13. The prison committee of the Board of State Charities, accompanied by Secretary Blcknell, arrived here to-day, and at once began an inquiry into the charges brought by the relatives of John Harter and Dr. Rutledge. Secretary BIcknell says the investigation will be fair and complete, but nothing will be given out for publication until all the evidence has been secured. In a letter to the Journal Warden French says: "Vermin are unknown to the hospital and to any of the convicts, except as I find thpm in the citizen's clothing of convicts, occasionally, when they come here. The hospital and its bedding are new and clean. Harter was dres3ed carefully in the presence of four or five other persons and his socks and underclothing were changed at that time. He had bed sores. These were padded with cotton, and he had a sheet plDned on him to keep him from soiling himself. I -wrapped hira in a blanket over his overcoat, gave Irs brother a large rocking chair to take him home in and sent a guard and two convicts to put him on the train. His pardon was granted at my request because of his condition. He was serving his third term and the brother who told so many untruths about his condition has served two terms here, while a third brother has been here one term. If there is one particle of truth in this Harter charge and that determined on the fullest investigation by the Journal or any party or parties it may name, I will agree to resign my wardenship instanter."

THE J0UKNEY ENDED

ARRIVAL OF CZAR ALEXANDER'S REMAINS AT ST. PETERSBURG. Iiupoiilng Funeral Parade to the St. Teler and Paul Cathedral Scene in the Streets and Church. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 13. The funeral train with the body of the late Czar on j board arrived at the Nicholas station last night and was shunted upon a siding until this morning in order to enable the imperial family and relatives to finish their night's rest. As soon as all Ihe preparations for the funeral were completed, shortly after 10 a. m.t the Imperial train reentered the railroad station, the body was transferred to the hearse in waiting and was conveyed to the cathedral through the densely-crowded, streets, guarded by thousands of troops. Every foot of ground along the route was occupied with spectators. The greatest masses of people were gathered in front of the Kazan, St. Isaac and other churches, in front of which, previous to the starting of the procession, the clergy stood in their state robes. Three salvos of artillery announced the start of the procession at exactly 11 o'clock. The route followed by the cortege was through the Newskl Prospect, past the Isaac Cathedral, through Senate rquare, along the English quay, acros3 the Neva, by the Nicholas bridge, thence to University quay and through the Bourse square, recrossing the river at the Metnlnskl bridge through the Zoological Garden street, along the Alexander Prospect, over the Novokronversky bridge and then under the gate of St. Peter the Great, to the St. Peter and St. Paul Cathedral, altogether a distance of nearly six miles. The roadway followed by the procession had been carefully swept and strewn with sand. The latter, however, was damaged by the rain which fell during the morning and was soon churned into a thick mud by the feet of those who followed in the funeral parade. The Czar's Cossack bodyguard headed the procession and was followed by other detachments of cavalry. Then came fifty-one standards each escorted by officers. The first two flags and the last flag bore the Imperial arms. Next came the horse of the dead Czar and a man-at-arms in gilt armor, holding the sword of state and mounted upon a splendidly caparisoned charger, led by two grooms in the state livery- Following this horseman came a second man-at-arms in black armor, carrying a naked sword. He preceded a number of high officials, who bore a mourning standard of black silk. Behind the standard was a retinue of officials bearing the standards of the various Russian provinces. The remainder of the procession until the end of the twelfth section was composed of high imperial and provincial functionaries with their staffs of office and numbers of other officials bearing different banners. The rear of the twelfth section was brought up by another detachment of officials, who bore on velvet cushions the late Czar's medals, orders and the imperial Insignia. The latter were carried by high ofiicials of state who were surrounded by attendants. CHOIRS IN THE PARADE. The thirteenth and most Important section of the procession and the one for which everybody was waiting with eager expectance was headed by the choirs of the Cathedral of St. Isaac and of the con vent of St. Alexander-Newski. Following the choirs were the clergy bearing lighted candles, and behind them came the Czar's confessor, Father Yanichieff, holding the image of St. Alexander-New ski, the patron saint of the dead monarch. Behind the image of the saint came the hearse, drawn by tight horses. The tassels of the hearse were held by sixteen generals In full mourning uniform. Slxly pages carrying lighted torches walkea on either sice or tne hearse. The hearse, or funeral car, consisted of a platform on wheels. The platform was covered with black cloth with silver bands. The spokes of the wheels were also silvered. Columns stood at the corners, and from them was suspended a magnificent baldachin. At the foot of each column on the platform there stood a general. Both the columns and the balachin were gilded. The top of the baldachin was surrounded by gilded helmets surmounted by white plumes. The coffin rested on a bier covered dth black velvet. Over the coffin there was a great silver pall bordered with gold. Behind ihe hearse came the Czar and the Imperial household. They were followed by the King of Greece and by the Prince of Wales. Then came a long line of grand dukes and princes, followed by their various military suites. After the latter marched a detachment of grenadiers, and following the grenadiers came the imperial carriages with the ladies of the imperial and royal families. In the first coach were the Czarina, Princess Allx of Hesse-Darmstadt and the Grand Duchess and'Xenia and Olga, daughters of the late Czar. The second coach contained the Queen of Greece, the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and the Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The- other mourning coaches contained all the othfr royal and titled ladles who have journeyed from Llvadia with the body of Alexander III. After the carriages came thousands of troops of all arms, who brought up the rear of the funeral procession. As the car appeared the multitudes along the route bowed reverently, crossing themselves. Many of the spectators wept as the coflin of the Czar passed them. The craped gaslamps along the route shed a sickly light, which, combined with the mist In which the city was enveloped, enhanced the depressing character of the spectacle. Prior to the arrival of the body at the cathedral a short service was held in the presence of the Czar, the diplomates and many of the Russian nobility. The hearse arrived at the cathedral a. 'few minutes past 2 o'clock. Four of the chief pallbearers removed the pall. The Czar and other Russian imperial personages and foreign princes then carried the coffin into the church with the same ceremony as had been observed in Moscow and deposited it In the catafalque. Metropolitan Palladius, of St. Petersburg, then conducted an impressive service. There is evidence to prove that the accession of Nicholas has net removed the anx.iety caused by the Nihilists, an anxiety which undoubtedly shortened the life of Alexander. Undrr a police order to-day nobody was allowed on either of the balconies or roofs of the houses. Though here and there- a few daring or privileged persons were seen in such positions they ran the risk of being arrested and lined 13 roubles, the penalty provided for infractions of the order. Further, all windows and doors were ordered closed by the police, and householders were held responsible for the good behavior of visitors during the passage of the procession. The event has shown that thse precautions ' might have safely been dispensed with. An imposing line of troops wno'kept the route were not needed for anything but a decorative purpose, or as a symbol of Russia's Imperial pomp and power. SCENES AND INCIDENTS. All the windows of the houses along the route followed by the funeral procession were closed, but all of them had been let at enormous prices to numerous persons anxious to see the spectacle. The forty windows of a restaurant on the Newskl prospect each realized the sum of one hundred roubles. The crowd everywhere was orderly, and awaited with the greatest patience the passage of the procession. Evervbody was dressed In black except the Mouj.liks. who were attired in the traditional sheepskins. The bier and the decorations in the Cathedral are most impressive, with the mar ble pillars flanking the nave draped with rabble and studded with trophies of faded. worn regimentals. Beneath the dome is a square dais, surmounted by an oblong platform, upon which the remains lie in state This dais is overshadowed by a lofty catafalque draped by a four-skirted canopy of cloth of silver lined with imperial ermine, representing tne gorgeous mantle worn by the Czars at their coronation. This canopy is topped by a gigantic mound and Jeweled ornaments representing the docual coronet of Vladimir Meenomagh, this huge crown, at a height of forty-two feet above the dais, being the fountain head of a dazzling canopy, fifteen feet in diameter, and emblazoned with the Imperial escutcheons. These are separated from each other by tall tufts of ostrich piumea. framed in mimic golden collars of the illu'tricu Order of St. Andrew. The entire dais ls surrounded by a circular fence of gilt candelabra, set upon ten feet, with plasters of whit? and joll at their base. Facing westward are f jur square pedestals, draped with black and silver, upon which througnout the lying in state of the body will be deposited the imperial crown, orb and scepter, each guarded by two colonels of the Imperial Guard. Tne special feature which attracted tho most attention were Alexander's favorite

Their every hope had vanished. The horizon was deserted until Saturday and but one vessel was seen. She was a large steamship, apparently one of the National line. She came almost within hailing distance, but paid no attention to the distress signals and held her course. With her disappearance faded out the last ra of hope of tne unfortunates, but throughs the courage of Captain James and Mrs. Crossman they were persuaded not to abandon their efforts. Captain James, when he arrived in this city, was a pitiable slglit. 'He is badly crippled and his face and hands are severely frost-bitten.

Will Cumback. in Cincinnati CommercialGazette. The time has come when the South should have a chance to know what the purpose of th Republican party are. from its friends They have for the most part only heard from the enemies of Republicans. They have not had a fair chance to know u Let us give them hat chance in lSi5. The wicked attempt to keep alive the prejudices of the Southern people against the Republican party is manifestly los-ing its force. This ls the epoch of integration, and not of disintegration. We are daily becoming more homogeneous. When a Southern man comes North, as they often do. we give them an attentive and respectful hearing. The South will not allow us to outdo them in chivalrous conduct. There are but tew places in the South whre a Northern Republican statesman would not be welcomed. He could preach the gospel of the Republican party.
