SERVICES IT THE WHITE HOUSE. Bishop Hirst, of the Methodist Epis copal Church, Conducts the Impres sive Ceremonies—'The President, Mrs. Cleveland, the Diplomatic Corps in the Bast Room—The Funeral Train to he Usi Straight Through to Chi 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. Shot a South Carolina Negro. Special to the News and Observer. Fayetteville, N.

Baltimor*, Mil, May 29. —The specia cotton mill edition of the Manufacturer’! Record of this week shows that amoum of capital invested in Southern oottoi 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.” DIME SAVINGS BANK.

FIRE-EATING FORA HER TRI UMPHANT. 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. BASEBALL YESTERDAY.

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.
