Cleveland, the Diplomatic Corps in

cago Without Stops.
s|Washis#ton, D. C., May 29.—N0
brighter sun could have shone than that
which shed its rays,over the military pa
geant, which accompanied the funeral
procession of Secretary Gresham this
morning. No more imposing spectacle
has been witnessed since the last Presi
dential inauguration, though the sadness
of the occasion naturally dimmed its
lustre, and the crowds were mute and
reverent.
At 9:¥o am., the body, which had
laid in state last evening in the parlor of
the apartment in the Arlington annex
whioh the Secretary had occupied during
life, wasjremoved from the resting place to
the great last Room of the White House.
It was preceded by *ueb a tribute of
Sower* as even Washington, the city of
lowers, has seldom witnessed. The ar
rangements awaited the arrival of the
President and his Cabinet, who came
with military promptitude. The
military forces consisted of four troops
of the sixth cavalry from Forty Myer,
▼a., fire aompanies of artillers from the
Washington Barracks, and the Marine
oorps under Heywood.
The Late Secretary.
The remains reached the Executive
Mansion at 9:40 o’clock. Mrs. Gresham
was too ill to accompany them. As the
casket left the hotel the President and
his cabinet formed in double column as !
a guaid of honor on each side. The
body bearers were eight sergeants of the
4th Artillery. They were commanded by j
Captain Charles B Hall of the 19th In
fantry.
The members of the family who ac
companied the cortege to the White
House were the dead Secretary’s only
son, Otto Gresham, his s’ster, Mrs. An
drews and her husband, and Captain
and Mrs. Fuller, the latter being Mrs.
Gresham's niece.
When the President and cabinet step
ped within the portico of the White
House, they'again formed in double line
between which the casket, followed by
the members of the family, passed.
Those who were to take part in the
brief and simple funeral services assem
bled in the East Room. The Japanese
Minister, Mr. Knrino, ana his
suite were the first to arrive, and
they were seated in the space
devoted to the Diplomatic corps at the
foot of the casket. About half past nine
o'clock the driveway in front of the east
entrance to the Mansion was thronged
with the carriages of the arrivals, and |
by the time the casket reached the White
House every seat except those reserved
for the President aad Cabinet, was filled.
It was ten minutes of ten o’clock when
the funeral party reached the White
House, and the short wait until
the services began was most im
pressive. At one end of the room,
made into a living garden by its
palms and oleanders and other growing
plants, was the casket, surrounded by
the many tributes of friends and asso
ciates of the late Secretary. Around it
was gathered representatives of the for
eign nations with which the United States
maintains diplomatic relations, nearly all
in uniforms of brilliant hue, marked and
slashed with thick bands of gold lace.
Prominent among these were three of the
four Ambassadors accredited to the
United States and with them were their
wives.
The Justices of tt e Supreme Court sat
at the side of the coffin opposite and sac
irg the Ambassadors. The Supreme
Cour circle was composed of Chief Jus
tice and Mrs. Fuller, Justice Shiras, Jus
tice Field, Justice and Mrs. Gray. Others
present were Senators. Gray, Morgan and
Stewart, Assistan' Secretaries Hamlin
and Wiie, of the Treasury; McAdoo, of
the Navy; Doe, of the War Department;
A dee and Roekhill, and every official
and employe of the State Department;
Comptroller Eckels, and the Bureau
Chiefs of the War and Navy Depart
ments, all in their uniforms as Army
and Navy officers.
Exactly at 10 o’clock the services be
gan. A minute or two before that hour
Col. John M. Wilson, Master of Cere
monies, notified the President that all
was ready, and then led the way from
the Blue Room to the East Room. Im
mediately behind him came the Presi
dent with Mrs. Cleveland leaning on his
arm, becomingly attired in a mourning
gown of crepon. The members of the
Cabinet and their ladies followed in the
order of their official pre
cedence, Secretary and Mrs. Car
lisle, Secretary and Mrs. Lamont,
Attorney General and Mrs. Olney, Post
master General and Mrs. Wilson, Secre
tary and Mrs. Morton, with Secretary
Herbert, Secretary Smith and Acting
Secretary Uhl bringing up the rear. The
Presidential party was seated at the head
of the casket and the services began,.
In the adjoining green room the mem
bers of the Gresham family were seated.
With great impressiveness Bishop
Hurst began the funeral service, which
was conducted according to the manner
of the Methodist Episcopal Church. “I
am the resurrection and the life,” he be
gan, and, all {through all the chapters
of the Scriptures assigned for such
solemn occasions. His clear tones oonld
be heard in every part of the large
room. When he had concluded a
quartette of male voices composed of
Messrs Mosher, Morsell, Kaiser and
Hoover, render**! “Lead Kindly
Light,” and then Bishop Hurst con
cluded the simple ceremonies by reading
the prayers for the dead. When he hact
spoken the last words he turned to his
audience and invited them to view the
remains of the dead Secretary, and as
the people arose to take advantage of
the invitation the President and Mrs.
Cleveland withdrew, followed by the
Cabinet party. Nearly all present passed
around the oasket, which was not closed
until the last person who so desired had
viewed the remains.
At 11 o’clock the services were con
cluded and the last look at the dead Sec
retary taken.
The hearse drove up and a bugle call
from the avenue signalled the troops to
fall into line.
The casket, carried by eight Sergeants
of Marines, was borne to the hearse. It
was strewn with flowers.
Bishop Hurst, the officiating clergy
man, followed the remains. Shortly
afterwards the President and Mrs.
Cleveland appeared; after them came all
who had witnessed the ceremony in the
East Room.
The carriages left by the western drive
way and took places in the procession,
which then moved down Pennsylvania
Avenue to the Baltimore and Ohio sta
tion.
The solemn march down the Avenue to
the railroad station was most impressive.
All the executive departments were
closed out of respect to the dead Secreta
ry, and the Avenue down which the pio
cession passed was lined with spectators.
The order of march was this;
Captain Austin and aequad of mount
ed police.
Sixth Cavalry band.
Troops B, E and G, of the 6th Cavalry,
Col. G. S. Gordon commanding.
Gen. Roger and his staff.
Three batteries of the 4th Artillery
and one of the third artillery. Col. Clos
son commanding.
Marine Band.
The Marine battalion, Col. Heywood
commanding.
The family of the dead Secretary did
not accompany the procession but drove
straight to the station from the hotel.
Tne first carriage after the military
contained the persons who had attended
Mr. Gresham at his illness. These pre
ceded the hearse, after which came
Bishop Hurst. The remaining carriages
in their order were filled by President
and Mrs. Cleveland, Assistant Secretary
and Mrs. Uhl, Secretary and Mrs. La
mont, Attorney General and Mrs. Olney,
Postmaster General and Mrs. Wilson,
Secretaries Herbert and Smith, whose
families are absent from the city. Secre
tary and Miss Morton, and other per
sonal friends in diplomatic and private
life of Mr and Mrs. Gresham.
When the head of the procession reach
ed the main entrance to the station, the
cavalry drew up in line a»d permitted
the carriages to pass between them. It
was almost noon when the President
and Cabinet reached the depot and em
barked. Mr. Cleveland plainly showed
the effect of his recent illness. His face
was flushed and heated and as he stood
with bared head, the perspiration
streamed down his face.
Although nothing had been said about
it, it was noticed that Dr. O'Reilly at
tended the President and went to Chica
go with the party. It we given out that
tbis was done on Mrs. Gresham’s ac
count, but it is believed that the condi
tion of the President himself had as much
to do with the presence of the Doctor as
anything else. In addition to Minister
Romero, of Mexico, Minister Mendonca.
of Brazil, also formed one of the funeral
escort. No representatives of the press
were permitted on board the train.
The train pulled out of the station at
exactly fourteen minutes after 12 o’clock
and will run as the second section of
train No. 5, which leaves Washington at
11:25 a. m. It was about forty-five
minutes behind the regular train.
The train will reach Pittsburg at
about 9:15 to night and is due to reach
Chicago to-morrow morning. No stops
will be made along the route except such
as are absolutely necessary for the proper
running of the train.

His portrayal of the dead Senator’s life
was grand and beautiful. He said that
Senator Vance, when asked to give the

of his native State, replied: “I have
never deceived them.”
Bishop Rondthaler, of the Moravian
church, aooepted the window for the
trustees in a splendid and appropriate
address.

number of other friends and admirers of
the beloved Senator, witnessed the inter

Hottest Day for Twenty-live Year*.

the weather bureau do not show a hotter
day than this one in May for the last
twenty-five years. The oldest residents

of a cold wave which will arrive from the
Northwest in the next 48 hours and may
drop the mercury 40 degrees.

mills increased from *21,900,000 in 188 C
and *61, 100,000 in 2890, to *1Q7,000,00(
at present, while about* 12,000,000 addi
tional will be spent in the construction ol
the mills now building and projected
In 1880 the South had 667,000 spindles,
in 1891, 1,700,000 spindles, and at the
present time 3,000,000 spindles, while
the mills under construction will add
500,000 more, or a total of 3,500,000
spindles, thus doubling the entire cotton
mill business of the South since 1890. A
number of leading New England experts
give thier views upon the cotton
manufacturing advantages of the South
ern States. Mr. D. M. Thompson, Presi
dent of the Oorlees Engine Company of
Providence, and for 12 years manager of
the largest mill corporation in New Eng:
land, running over 420,000 spindles,
*ay« of the South's ootton mill facilities:
“Years ago after a careful considera
tion I become fully convinoed that the
South possessed superior advantages for
the manufacture of cotton, years and
course goods. I have sinoe had no oc
casion t* change the opinion then form
ed. I have great faith in the opssibili
ties of the South. I believe it is and
will long continue a profitable field for
investment in the manufacture of cot
ton. I believe there is an almost
illimitable field for the extension of our
ootton manufacturing in this country
and with the extension into finer num
bers of yarn and higher grade of fabrics
in the North and with the opening of
new markets through the agency of the
Sooth’s superior advantages, a vastly
larger product of coarse goods can be
made. I believe that the extension of the
manufacture in the South should be en
couraged by all people. It will establish
a bona of interest between New England,
the Middle States and the South, which
will be of great good to the interests of
the nation and in the near future will be
recognized in the industrial and political
arena of our country as a factor- of
national importance.”
Mr. C. B. Makepeace, a leading New
England cotton mill engineer, says:
“The next ten years will show a great
increase in the number of spindles in
this country. I think a large percentage
of it, even including the finer numbers,
will be in the Southern States, and
it is an indisputable fact that the
average number of yarns spun in the
South has been raised from coarser to
finer counts more rapidly than has been
the tendency in this direction in New
England. The phenomenal success of
some mills erected iu the South during
the last four years, which are making a
finer grade of goods than has been the
custom in that section, will cause others
to change to finer goods. It is nothing
more than natural that the large percent
age of the increase in spindles in this
country during the years to come should
be at advantageous points for manufac
turing, situated near the point where
the cotton is grown, than that the iron
industry of this country should centre
somewhere near where all the raw ma
terials for the making of iron are found.”

j Ohio State Republican Machinery
Passes Fram the Hand* of Mc-
Kinley.
Zanesville, Ohio, May 29.—Victors
and vanquished came together again
this morning in Memorial Hall, with the
intention of finishing up the work of the
Republican State Convention with dis
* patch, to the end that the delegates and
» visitors might return to their respective
. localities in time for participation in the
exercises of decoration day.
1 Senator Sherman was prompt in open
ing proceedings at 9 o’clock, and the
I delegates were equally prompt in respond
-3 ing to his call for order. Ex-Secretary
t Foster was first introduced to submit
, the platform and resolutions, which
I were hurriedly read and as quickly
> adopted, mush applause being bestowed
. upon the naming of McKinley as a can
< didate for thepfesidency, and of Foraker
for the next Sanatorshipi.
The nominations for Lieutenant Gov
\ eruor were next on the docket. Only
, one name, that of A. W. Jones, of
[ Youngstown, was submitted and his se
i lection was made by acclamation.
W. J. Gilbert, of Oaldwell, was nomi
nated for Auditor of State, Judge Mins
; hall for Supreme Judge, Josiah B. Allen,
of Athens, for Clerk of the Supreme
Court.
The net result of the defeat of Nash is
to dispossess Governor McKinley and his
friends of the control of the State politi
cal machinery after January neit, and
to make ex-Governor Porakev the party
dictator of the State. It likewise settles
the fact that the Ohio delegation to the
next Republican Presidential convention
will contain at least two anti-McKinley
ites-at-large in the person of Gen. Asa
Bushnell, who will tnen wear the title of
Governor, and ex Governor Foraker,
who will probably be alluded to as “Sen
ator elect.”’
But little interest was taken in to-day’s
proceedings as it was evident that tha
Foraker slate would go through.
The convention began to suffer from
the heat and to get disorderly by tha
time the nominations for Attorney Gen
eral were reached and every attempt at
a speech was howled down.
Samuel J. Campbell, of Jefferson, was
nominated for State Treasurer on the
third ballot.
F. P. Libarger, of Coshoekton, was
re-nominated by acclamation for mem
ber of the board of public works, and at
2:05 o’clock the Convention abjoumed
sine die.

“SIR VISTO” WINS THE DERBY.
Lord Rosebery’s Stable Again Bears
Off the Blue Ribbon.
London, May 29. —Lord Rosebery’s
Sir Visto won the Derby, T. Cannon’s
Curzon second, and Sir J. Blundell
Maple’s Kirkconnel third.
The Salvation Army brigade arrived
at Epsom this morning and pitched a
large tent, from which they handed out
tracts and leaflets announcing that they
would pursue anti-sin campaign between
the races, remaining over at night to re
sume their labors on the occasion of the
Oaks on Friday.
Sir Visto finished three-quarters of a
length ahead of Curzon, and there was
half a length between the latter and Kirk
Connel. Solaro was a good fourth. Time,
2:43 2-5.
Chibiabos led until the horses were de
scending the hill, when The Brook pulled
up and had a slight lead for a few
strides. Entering the straight Beck
hampton took up the running, followed
by Curzon, but inside the straight dis
tance Sir Visto came with a rush and
landed a winner.
The crowd was the greatest that has
ever attended a Derby since 1889, when
the race was won by the Duke of Port
land’s Donovan.
The weather was perfect in respect of
sunshine, but it was intensely warm.
The toilets displayed by the prominent
society ladies present were superb.
