IMPRESSIVE AND SAD.

WASHINGTON DOES HONOR TO THE DEAD SECRETARY. Funeral Service* Held at the White Howe in the Presence of a Distinguished Assemblage—Remains Now . on Their Way to Chicago. Washington, May 29.—Before 8 o’clock this morning the floral tributes to the distinguished dead began to arrive at the old Pomeroydiouse, overlooking Lafayette square, now an annex to the Arlington, in which the remains of the secretary’ of state lay. Only a few ~ pieces, however, were received there. Most of them W’ere sent to the White House, where the services were to be. held. The casket lay in the drawing-room looking out upon the public square. Secretary and Mrs. Lamont, First Assistant Postmaster-General Jones, exSecretary of the Treasury Bristow and Mrs. Bristow and a few other intimate friends were with the sorrowing and stricken family. Mrs. Gresham, broken in spirit, exhausted by her long vigils and overcome with grief, was in such a nervous state that her daughter and son prevailed upon her not to undertake the trying ordeal of attending the services at the White House. At 8:30 o’clock, therefore, the doors were all closed and the stricken family was left alone with theft- dead. For almost thirty minutes they remained, taking their last leave. Then the bugle commands floated across the square as the horses of the yellow-tasseled cavalry, the lumbering caissons of the red artillery and the blue-coated foot soldiers, the military escort, were drawn up into lines along Pennsylvania avenue. At 9 o’clock the doors to the room where the remains lay were opened, and the family retired to. the rear apartrilents. Mrs. Gresham, in an agony of grief, was almost carried from the room by her stalwart son, Otto, and was followed by her daughter, Mrs. Andrews, leaning on the arpi of Mr. Andrews, and Mrs. McGrain and Capt. duller. Mrs. Carlisle and other ladies of the cabinet arrived and offered such words of condolence as they could. Soon after the carriages, containing the members of the cabinet, began arriving. Secretary Carlisle, Acting Secretary Uhl, Attorney-General Olney and Secretary Herbert drove up in the order named. At 9:15 President Cleveland arrived in the White House carriage, accompanied by Col. Wilson. The President looked far from well and ascended the brown-stone steps with some difficulty. A moment later Secretary Morton and Postmaster General Wilson arrived in their carriages, followed by Secretary Smith on foot. The casket ha,d been closed and the President and members of his cabinet were given no opportunity to view the remains.

At exactly 9:30 o’clock five red-coated trumpeters marched up Lafayette place and stationed themselves outside the line of mounted police to give the signal when the cortege departed. Thirty seconds later the hearse, drawn by two coal black horses, drew up at the door. The president, followed, by members of the cabinet in the order of their rank, acting as honorary pallbearers, descended the steps and stood with uncovered heads while the eight artillerymen carried the casket with slow and solemn tread between them. The casket was shrouded completely in the folds of the American flag. The stars and stripes could hardly be discerned for the flowers banked upon the casket. The artillerymen walked beside the hearse as it drew away, halting at the corner until the president and members of his official family in their carriages had taken their positions ahead. Acting Secretary Uhl was with Mr. Cleveland, Secretary Carlisle was alone arid Secretaries Herbert and Lamont, AttorneyGeneral Olney and Postmaster-General Gilson, Secretaries Smith and Morton, and first Assistant Postmaster-General Jones and ex-Secretary Bristow followed in the order named. Bishop Hurst,. tyho arrived at this moment In his carriage, followed the hearse; Mr. and Mrs; Andrews, Otto Gresham and Captain Fuller followed. Mrs. Carlisle, Mrs. Lamont, Mrs. Bristow, the wife of the ex-secretary; Mrs. McGrain, Mrs. Gresham’s sister, and several other close friends remained behind with Mrs. Gresham. The funeral procession, preceded by a squad of mounted police, moved slowly to the entrance of the white house grounds. : The casket, preceded by the president ahd cabinet, was borne by the artillerymen to the east room, where the service took place. Seats were reserved for the immediate kinsfolk and relatives of the dead man, for the president and Mrs. Cleveland and for the members of the cabinet and their wives. Within this solemn, black-robed circle, stood the standards for the catafalque, resting on a large black seal rug. By 10:45 the vast east room was nearly filled. The seating arrangements were perfect. The remainder of the diplorinatic corps came along very rapidly, glri Julian .PauncefGte, .the British ambassador, with his wife and daughter, preceded Ambassador Patenotre, who was accompanied by-KH wife," Then followed |be Italian ambassador and Baron vori Kettler,who is acting as the Germpn ambassador, with full suites. All of the members of the diplomatie body were apparently in attendance, With the exception of Minister Weckerlin of the Netherlands, who is absent from Washington. The members of the supreme court came in singly and were seated on the left of the catafalque. Mr. Thurber, the president’s private secretary, jfkVte the aksisUftce of his arm to Justice Field, who was very feeble. Just in the rear of the diplomatic body In the center of the chamber were seated general officers of the army and navy with their ladies. , The funeral ceremonies were brief and formal, consisting merely of reading the service of the Methodist Episcopal church by Bishop Hurst, the singing of a hymn an£ _ uttering of a prayer. Not lable was said beyond that Pennsylvania avenue, from the war navy and state department west of theWhite House, clear down to the Peace monument, under the shadow of the dome of the Capitol, was densely crowded with people on foot and in carriages and through this multitude the cortege slowly moved from the White House to the railroad station. Ten thousand people assembled at the Baltimore & Ohio station, and as the train bearing the

funeral party pulled out of the depot many a tear was shed. President Cleveland made the imperative stipulation that no newspaper men should go on the special funeral train. Outside of the President, cabinet officers and" immediate relatives there was nobody In the party excepting John W. Doane of Chicago, and I-list Assistant Postmaster General Jones. '

PENSIONS FOR TEACHERS.

Illinois House Passes the BUI by a Vote of 116 to 3. Springfield, 111.. May 29.—The senate bill introduced by Senator Crawford providing for pensioning school teachers came up in the house just before adjournment this morning, and was passed by a vote of 116 to 3. The bill has already passed the senate and will now become a law if the governor’s signature is secured. The senate went into executive session and confirmed the governor’s nominations of trustees of the Northern Illinois Normal school. The bill to prevent the coloring of oleomargarine to resemble butter was advanced to the third reading. Senator Craig moved to reconsider the vote by which the senate refused to concur in a favorable report of ths, committee on municipalities on Lowenthal frontage bill. A motion to table the motion failed to be adopted by a vote of 18 yeas to 25 nays. Senator Mahoney made a speech against the reconsideration, asserting that the vicious features of the Miller bill were not eliminated. The motion to reconsider prevailed by a vote of 28 yeas to 17 nays. Senator Crawford mdved to advance the bill to second reading, which was lost by a vote of 26 yeas to 19 nays, a two-thirds vote being necessary for the suspension of the rules for advancement. The house passed Green’s bill requiring railroad companies to erect and maintain depots in villages and towns containing 200 or more inhabitants; the Farrel bill to prohibit the use of clock, tape, slot or other machines or devices for gambling purposes; and the senate bill appropriating $225,000 for improvements on the State Fair grounds. Sharrock’s bill authorizing the Supreme court to pass on questions of fact as well as law failed to pass.

Y., May 29.—Mrs. ‘Annie Lounigan, 34 years old, is lying at St. Peter's hospital suffering from burns and bruises, while her husband occupies a cell in the Butler street police station charged with inflicting the injuries, which will, in all probability, result in her death. From the statement which the woman made at the hospital it appears-that her husband, after severely beating her, set fire to her clothing. Her face and body are in a terrible condition from the burns. Notwithstanding this, however, she would not at first disclose the name of her assailant. she was told that death was imminent she gave the evidence against her husband, who was at once arrested. His only statement was that he had been too drunk to recollect anything that had occurred.

German Statesmen Favor Gold.

London, May 29.—A dispatch to the Standard from Berlin says that on the occasion of his adverse criticism of Von Kanitz’ grain monopoly scheme Emperor William is said to have equally strongly deprecated any change in the gold standard. Chancellor von Hohenlohe agrees with these views and any report that he has been impressed by the Prussian diet's silver resolution is quite unfounded.

Will Leave Ont Guatemala.

Salvador, May 29.—There is no doubt that there is a plan, of forming a Central American union without Guatemala. Should Guatemala attempt to interfere with the plans war will be declared.

Berry, freight clerk; O. K. Richardson, storekeeper; William A. Smith, chief engineer; E. D. Reardon, first assistant engineer; H. Finley, second assistant engineer; A. Tommerg, third assistant engineer. The first Information of the loss of the steamer reached this city in a dispatch received by H. E. Alfred Railton, a bookkeeper in the office of the Pacific Mail Steamship company, from O. K. Richardson. Richardson was the storekeeper on the Colima and is one of the few at this time known to have escaped from the sinking vessel alive. A few moments later a telegram was received from the company’s agent at Manzanilla to the effect that the ship had gone down and that fourteen passengers and five of the crew had reached shore in a small boat. Just how many of the passengers were aboard the vessel when the accident occurred which sent her to the bottom cannot be ascertained. The vessel stops at slazatlan and San Blas before reaching Manzanilla and passengers were lande'd arid taken bn ’ at' both places. The Colima was. due at nilla Sunday, May 26. The dispatches show that the vessel foundered Monday off Manzanilla, which would indicate that some accident to the machinery occurred and prevented her from reaching the port of Manzanilla. The officers of the Pacific Mail Steamship company do not believe the vessel struck a hidden ledge. They are more inclined to think that the cause of the disaster was an accident to the machinery. They believe that the loss of life will prove U> be much less than at present feared. The vessel had six lifeboats ready to be ‘aunched at a moment’s notice.

HIGHEST OF THE YEAR

JULY WHEAT AT CHICAGO STRIKES 82 3-BC. Taking of Profits Depresses Prices X Cents—Corn Almost as Excited as Wheat —Provisions Firmer —Day in Wall Street. Chicago, May 29.—There was great action in wheat for the morning hours. Il sold l%c over the closing price Monday and broke the high record for the year. It broke back the first hour l%c to the Monday price. Then it had a sharp upturn of 14c, followed by a break of ’4c to Monday’s price again. This was followed by the third bulge, and this by renewed selling, and over .1c break before midday. From this the fourth rally started at 12 o’clock. July sold 82%c to 82c at opening, to 81%c to 82%c, highest figure y.et made on the crop, to 80%c to 81 %c to 80%c to 81%c to an hour before the close. The wires and the mails were filled with accounts of hot winds and fresh injury to all crops from drouth, which was generally unbroken. Liverpool cables came excited and higher, wheat was marked up 2d on speculation. The Washington weekly bulletins were especially alarming about Southern Illinois and Missouri wheat fields. The prospect of injury to corn and oats added to the early buying force in wheat. Then traders commenced taking profits. The country buying was not as great as last week after the first hour. The trade had predictions of rains at 11 o’clock. This caused the dip to the lowest point, which, by the way, was only %c under last night. Disappointment that the July price did not get back even to 80c on rain predictions, fqr-most of the wheat states gave the trade a hint of what might happen in case the rains came not. This started the buying on the late rally to 81%c. With professionals sold out, and the country holding extensive, there is no telling what wheat will do after the Thursday holiday.

Wheat broke down at the last to 80%c and closed 80%c, only %c under last night. It was simply evening up of local longs before the holiday. The reaction at the close was just 2 cents from the top, yet the market rules decidedly higher from the close last week. Cash sales here were 150,000 bu No. 2 red and some spring. Cash houses report sales to Fort Worth, Tex., Kansas City and Illinois points. Corn was very strong early with wheat, broke down with wheat, rallied with wheat. The drouth has become somewhat alarming over the corn states. While receipts are heavy the shipments are enormous also. Local movement 731,000 bu in and 670,000 out. Western markets, 899,000 receipts; 795,000 shipped. Export clearances were 181,000 bu for the day. Withdrawals here were 497,000 bu. Long before the close cargoes of cash corn amounting to 170,000 bu were reported sold. On the wjld opening July corn sold l%c higher at 551,4 c and worked back to 53%c after midday. September sold 56%c and back to 54%c. Corn closed 53%c July, 54%c September. Charters were reported fyor 290,000 but at l%c Buffalo. There was good action in provisions. Pork got up to 113 July, $13.35 September, and closed $12.90 and 813.17%. Lard closed 86.85 July, 87 September. Ribs closed 10c up at 86,45 and 86.65. Quotations were:
