A bill has been introduced in the senate granting a pension of 83,500 a year to the widow of Admiral Porter. J Although the elections bill is believed to be dead, it is said that some of the ardent advocates of that measure are trying to induce several of the free silver republicans to join in an effort to resurrect the bill because of the Cleveland letter on the silver question. The senate has confirmed James H. Reid as United States judge for the eastern district of Pennsylvania. In a bulletin issued by the census office it is stated that the center of population of this country on June 1, 1890, was in southern Indiana, near Oreensburg and twenty miles east of Columbus. Ten years ago it was eight miles west by south of Cincinnati.

When a communication was received in the Connecticut Senate from Governor Bulkely making several appointments, a motion was made to reject the comm unication and send it back to the person who sent it.

Sibley was born at Detroit, Mich., in 1811, and went to Minnesota in 1884. As to Kyle’s election to the United States Senate, the claim is made that the South Dakota Constitution requires a majority of all the members of 'the Legislature to elect, which would necessitate Kyle’s receiving eighty-five rotes, whereas he received only sev-enty-five.

LAID IN THE TOMB. The Remains of Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman Laid to Rest. An Imposing Military Pageant, Composed rof Regulars, Veterans of the War , for the Union and Militia, Form the Escort, The Famous Seventh Cavalry who Fought at Wounded^nee and a Fragment at the Old Thirteenth, Sherman’s First Begiment, Among Them. • ' ■' ■ ___ —, . St. Louis, Feb. 21.—All that tvas mortal of William Tecumseh Sherman, the last of the great triumvirate of general officers developed in the war for the Union, has been laid to rest, his remains being escorted to the silent tor tb with all the military pomp and circui istance befitting his rank aceompani :d by the loving devotion of the scarrsd veterans who fought with him, and the honor and respect of those who were his fellow citizens in St. Louis f lr so many years. The gloomy and stormy weather of the past few days, after a brief stra ggle this morning, ga ve way to brig it sunshine, and by the time the gatherii ig hosts began to assemble on Lucas me rket the statue of Gen. U. S. Gra it looked down upon a brilliant array >f what ii\ life was his pride, while t le approaches from every direction we re filled with hurrying throngs seeking points of vantage from which to vie iv the funeral pageant.

William Tetumseh Sherman. Shortly after 10 o’clock a buzz of excitement ran along Twelfth street when a column of' mounted men, whose yel-low-lined overcoat capes, thrown back and catching the sunshine proclaimed them to be United States cavalry, swung in from Washington avenue. “Here comes the Seventh!” was the word passed along, and sure enough there came the heroes of Wounded Knee creek, led by the gallant white-haired veteran Colonel Forsythe and staff. As Custer’s famous old regiment wheeled into position along the west side of the street it became at once the target for all eyes, more particularly Troops B and K, who bore the brunt of the Wounded Knee light. Following closely behind the cavalry came a flash of red and the rumble of wheels, and everyone knew that the artillery was coming, and Battery B, Second United States artillery, consisting of flve 3-inch Rodman guns with their attending caissons, and Battery F, Fourth artillery, consisting of six rapid-firing Hotchkiss g-uns and caissons, filed into position on the east side of Twelfth street. Meanwhile Pine street, from Twelfth to Nineteenth, was a mass of blue and bayonets, the militia of Missouri and Ohio occupying opposite sides of the street, awaiting the command to take their position in the procession. The Missouri troops, particularly those of St. Louis, looked neat and natty, while the Buckeye boys, who had had a long journey, looked more like veterans who had seen service. As the faint light of early morning crept over the Illinois prairies, bringing into relief the outlines of the crapecovered funeral train, a solitary figure stood in front of a little cabin nshr the railroad track, musket in hand, and awaited for its coming. And the watcher by the casket of the dead General saw the bent figure straighten up as the train swept by, and the old army musket came to present arms. It was the last tribute of the veteran to <his old commander—the first tribute of respect that ushered in the morning of General Sherman’s funeral day. The train which bore the casket, the mourners and the military escort ran at a slow rate of speed all night. At Terre Haute a stop was made ;^t 1:17. Cannon were booming, and there was an assemblage of several hundred people. The train remained in the station until these had an opportunity to view the casket. Then it ran ont into the railroad yards where it remained for an hour and a half. The rest of the run during the night was uneventful, and it was 6:30

Gen. Wesley Merritt, Grand Marshal o’clock when the first demonstration occurred, The train stopped lor a lew minutes at Vandalia, where the Grand Army post was drawn up in double column on the platlorm. A musket salute was fired over the fuqeral car as the train lelt the station. Breaklast was served at 6:30 o’clock. The members ol the Sherman family were called at an early hour, and shortly alter 7 o’clock they sat down to breaklast in the dininfr car. At Greenville, Colby®Post G. A. R. was drawn up in line. As the train stopped the bugle sounded “taps.” Then the veterans wheeled into line and, with heads bared, marched past the funeral car. No stop was made between Vandalia and East St. Louis, but at several smaller stations lit* tie groups of people gathered to watch the passage ol the train. At one ol the cross roads a horseman, his steed flecked with loam, stood outliued against the gray of the horizon and waved an old slouched hat at the passing train. The picturesqueness ol the figure attracted the attention of the party and they gazed back at it as long as it was in sight. Just before the train arrived at East St. Louis, Mr. and Mrs. Thackers, Miss Rachael Sherman, and

Mr. P. T. Sherman went forward to the combination car and discussed with Major Randolph some of the arrangements for the procession. The arrangements of the pall on the horse to be led behind the catafalque had been under discussion yesterday, as the family were anxious that the General's saddle should not be concealed from view. It was determined finally that no pall would be placed on the horse. At 8:10 the train reached the outskirts of East St. Louis, where it stopped for a few minutes. All through the railroad yards were groups of yardmen, engineers and train hands who saluted the cortege as it passed. A long wait was made at the East St. Louis station, and here the family party was increased by the addition of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Haldeman, of Cincinnati, and Frank Wiberg. Mr. Rebcr, of St. Louis, also joined the party at East St. Louis. As the train reached the bridge some of the members of the family went forward to spend a last few minutes with the dead.' It was just 8:30 when the train reached the middle of the great St. Louis bridge, the dividing line between Illinois and Missouri. The four past senior commanders of Ransom Post, G. A. R., who joined the party at Indianapolis last night, took positions at tbe four corners of the catafalque. One of the six sergeant-bearers remained on guard. As it slowly came to a standstill at the end of its majestic journey from New York, the first volley of an artillery salute fired by a detail Of two detachments from the St. LouiffLight Artillery under Capt. Robt. E. Williams broke the solemn silenee with which its approach had been received and at intervals of ten seconds the deep roar of the guns smote the air until the seventeenth volley rang out and died away in the distance. Massed at the depot, on the streets and upon the bridge spanning the railroad tracks, were thousands upon thousands of citizens, and amidst them were scattered the uniforms of the regular army and the nrilitia. As the train passed in review before the great crowd every eye was turned reverently towards the first car, which contained the catafalque upon which rested the body of the dead warrior. No one left the train except Senator John Sherman and Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who sprang at once to the platform, and were met by Gov. Francis and a group from the -reception committee.

At 10:15 the funeral train, which was at the west end of the depot, was backed down until the car contr' >ng the coffin was opposite the baggage entrance. All reverently uncovered as the casket was lifted from the car by the six sergeants who had come with the funeral train from New York a^A guard. A guard of honor from ^Rmsom Post, G. A. R., was in waiting, and the regular infantry had marched from the arsenal grounds to, the depot to escort the remains to the point of starting. An artillery caisson, with four black horses, was at the exit, the ammunition chests draped with the national colors. The coffin, covered with the American flag, was placed upon the caisson, the sword and chapeau of the dead general were laid upon the top and the guard of honor from Ransom Post took position in double column of fours on both Sides of the bier. The family and friends took carriages, Col. E. D. Townsend of the Twelfth infantry gave the word, the band struck up the dead march and the procession moved toward the point of starting. A noticeable gathering was that of the survivors of the Thirteenth United States infantry, Sherman’s first regiment, under command of Sergeant P. J. Carmody. As the troops escorting the remains approached, with arms reversed, the spectators who crowded the sidewalk lifted their hats and all military organizations saluted. The cortege had been prepared with great care, and there was little delay in starts ing. At 10:30 General Wesley Merritt rode up Market street, and at onee began preparations for starting. A platoon of mounted police was sent up Pine street to the corner of Sixteenth street. Between this point and the corner of Fifteenth street twelve buglers, mounted on gray horses, were stationed Next came General Merritt with a large staff, and close in the rear were ranged two squadrons of the Seventh cavalry, which General Merritt had ordered to move from Twelfth street'to Pine street. Behind them were the artillery, and every thing was in readiness for a start as soon as the funeral procession arrived.

The procession marehedjijdmywest on Vine street fi-om Grat»| avenue, and tl!$fS : ee i .1 i'lj i’im-.-.mt avenue to tfl ivhi. 1 is to be the final r* all that was mortat^M Tccumseh Sherman. ■ was lined with peoS sides, and all heads n-HpH during, the passing of fSBeaisst^P bearing the dead hero’s remains. Every window on the street was filled with faces and everywhere a feeling of reverence and solemnity was manifest. Many of the houses were draped in black and flags were seen here -and there at half-mast or furled and wrapped with crape. A" similar scene was presented all along Grand avenue, and in fact, to the gates of the cemetery. Many affecting scenes were witnessed as the division with the caisson parsed by. At one point on Grand avenue an old colored man with % Grand Army badge on his breast went down on his knees as the caisson came abreast, and, tears streaming down his wrinkled cheeks, raised bw hands over his head in the attitude prayer. Hundreds of people showered bunches of roses and pf violets on the gun carriage as It passed them. At tbs comer of Washington avenue a groupof veterans reverently uncovered their heads and said “good-bye” in unison as the caisson passed out of sight. No set floral pieces were permitted on the coffin, and the only one which appeared in the entire procession was a large shield which was carried in the rear, of Ransom Post. The religious services at the grave were brief, and were conducted by Father Thomas Sherman, son of the deceased. The funeral was in every way a military funeral, it having been the old hero’s wish to be buried as a soldier alongside of his wife* Upon the closing of the grave the buglers of the Seventh cavalry sounded the customary taps, and then the volleys were fired by the United States infantry present, immediately followed by three salvos from the artillery outside the cemetery. Thus was buried Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, one of the greatest, and most popular military chieftains, in American history. .

Buffalo Bill at St. Iamb. St. Lou is. Feb. 21.—Colonel William ■Lfody (Buffalo Bill) arrived in the city evening to attend the funeral of hi* t3d friend, General Sherman. “My only experience with General Sherman,” said Colonel Cody, “was during the autumn of 1865 just after the war, when I was attached to his command as scout in a campaign against the Indians. The friendship which sprang up-between ns then remained unbroken to the end, and is now one of my pleasantest memories. General Sherman was a great soldier, a splendid comrade and a true friend, and his qualities of heart and brain entitled him to all the honors that can be paid him by his countrymen. My business in St. Louis is that of paying a last tribute to his ever verdant memory, and while the mission is a sad one, I am glad to be able to fulfill it, for I wouldn’t have cnmukrcd , away for the world. "I will probably return to the Northwest Monday, but this will depend upon circumstances. I may be cifiled to New York on business, in which case 1 may leave to-night,” —The funds raised and bequeathed tc foreign missions in the British Isles, according to the annual report of Canon Scott Robertson, for the financial yea* of 1389, foot up the handsome sum of 86,506,530; $3,350,600 of this amount, it has been estimated, came from mem-Ix-rs of the Church of England.
