When the morning hour expired, at 2 o'clock p. m., Mr. Bayard moved to lay asie the regular or- derand take up the House bill creating a tariff commission. Mr. Edmunds wanted to have the bill printed before taking it up, and therefore objected to its consideration. Mr. Bayard said he would call it up to-morrow.

The House to-day took up the bill to create a Department, of Agriculture. The dill proposes to enlarge the present establishment by the creation of a head who shall be a cabinet officer, and to dt- vide the prperieens into bureaus with heads to be appointed by the President. The bill will un- doubtedly pass the House in a day or two in some ‘shape as most of the representatives in Congress do not care to come in conflict with the farmers, It will hardly pass the Senate this seston. THE TARIFF COMMISSION BILL was passed by the House on Saturday by yeas 151, nays 85. The bill directs the appointment of nine commissioners to revise the tariff, and to report to Congress not later than the first Monday in em Der, 1882. ‘THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON VENTILATION this morning appointed a sub-committee to re- juest the public printer to make arrangements for the folding of House public documents at the ernment printing office building.

THE SERVICES AT THE CHURCH—AN IMPOSING COR- ‘TEGE—RESOLUTIONS OF RESFRCT+ACTION OF HOUSE DISTRICT COMMITTEE AND OF THE COURTS, ETC, ‘The funeral pageants which accompanied the re. mains of two of our most prominent and respected citizens to their last resting place to-day transform. ed the bustling life of the city into the quietuce which befitted the solemnity ofthe events. The dis- Unguished positions which the late Major Twining and Admiral Rodgers occupied{n the community elicited a very general expression of sympathy, and the crowded thoroughfares along which the funeral processions passed to-day testified to the popular appreciation of the life and character of ‘the deceased. AS A MARK OF RESPECT to the late Engineer Commissioner of the District government, all the District offices were closed to- day and the exercises in the public schools were suspended. ay Pee the hour announced for the procession, the line of march was crowded with people, ‘who stood walting in etful silence to pay the last tribute of man whose personal and offictul career has won the respect and esteem of all with whom he came in contact. The crowd around St. John’s church, where the services were to be held, was very reat, but a few policemen stationed here and ere at the entrances were found sufficient to prevent any confusion, THE REMAINS LYING IN STATE, ‘The remains were brought. from the residence of the deceased to the church shortly arter 8 o’clock, where they laid in state until 10 o'clock: A guard of honor from the artillery corps, in full uniform, with side arms, were stationed near the coffin. ‘The casket was of rosewood, covered with Dlack cloth, and rested upon a catafalque, draped in the Al an flag, just outside of the altar. Massive stiver handles along the sides relieved the sombre color of the draping. Upon the casket was a simple silver plate, bearing the name and age of the deceased. The swords of the deceased and his military “hat lay upon the cover, emblematic of the military career drought té an end, while a branch of palm indi- cated the victory which had attended a sutcessful Mfe. On afl sides of the casket and inside and outside of the altar were massed the beautiful floral tributes which reece had offered a8 a last gift. ‘The lights burning dimly overhead fell Jn uncertain shadows upon the sombre coffin, that Seemed to rest amid the flowers and. buds so fra- ant in their beauty. The flowers that were so lavishly bestowed were from the numerous friends of the deceased and the associations and people with whom he had been associated. The Prest- dent sent a beautiful floral piece. ‘The employes Of the District, the members of the Metropolitan club, the army corps, and a large number Of ind!- viduals, all sent some token of their remembrance. One piece that was especially. beautiful was a large floral pillow with a pure white dove sus- pended above. Then there was a massive broken Pillow and quantities of garlands and wreaths. ‘he squad of artillery was ranged in file four on each side of the coffin. From §:30 to 10 o’clock the church was thrown open and the face of the re- mains exposed to view. THE SCENE AT THE CHURCH. ‘There was a constant stream of people passing in the church to take a last look at the remains. At 100’clock the church was closed and no one was admitted except the only relatives of the deceased, Charles O. Twining, of St. Lou!s, the brother an Rev. Kinsley Twining, ot New York, the cousin, ‘Tbe crowd had increased about the church, and the arrival of the military eompanies made ‘pro- ress in the vicinity of the-church almost imposst- le. At 10:30 the doors were opened and the ample galleries were soon crowded with the gen: eral public; a larger portion of the pews on the main floor had been reserved for the friends and the members of the vartous organizations to which the deceased belonged. The employes ot the District buildings oc steats together onthe right of the altar. = Ex-Commissioners Ketcham and Phelps, and Contmissfoners Morgan and Dent occupted seats together. ‘The members Of the school board, headed by the president, Mr. Matthews, were given seatson the left. Both the District committees of the Senate and the House were largely represented, Senator Ingalls and Representative Neal both being present. The officers of the engineer corps, with Gen. Wright, were present in full uniform,as well as most of the prominent officials of the War department. The army officers in their bright uniforms gave a touch of color to the sombre groupings. The Russian minister and is ‘secretary were present, and also the Secretary of War, Mr. Lincoln, and the Secre- tary of the Navy, Mr. Chandler, who represented the Cabinet. THE PRESIDENT entered the side door unattended shortly before the hour and was shown to his usual seat. Judge Wylte and Judge Hagner were present as repre- sentatives of the District judiciary, besides the large individual delegations which attested to the personal popularity of the man as well as the ap- preciation of his services as a public official. ‘The commodious church edifice was crowded; every Seat was occupied, when the hour for the services began. The bell in the tower tolled solemnly, and a hush fell upon the thronged auditorium. THE FUNERAL SERVICES, ‘The officiating clergyman, tn his robes of effice, advanced slowly In the altar and then sank upon his knees in prayer. ‘The vast audience followed iiisexample. ‘Then in the hushed quiet of that moment over the bowed heads of the congregation me swelling In solemn cadences from the choir of male voices the words o; that grand old anthem, “Remember now Thy Creator.” When the music had died away the rector began reciting the beau- tiful collects for the dead. After another selection from the Apolo club and the office of the dead had been recited the simple, though tmpressive,services came to an end. The ‘coffin was taken upon the shoulders of the military, and preceded by the rector and followed by the pall-bearers, THE PROCESSION left the church. The pall-bearers were as follows: Col Thos. P. Casey, Major John J. Park, John A. Baker, Robert P. Dodge. John F, Copk, Dr. Smith Townshend, Walter Davidge. As the remains were brought from the church the military, drawn up in line on the Qpposite side of the street, presented arms and the Marine band began playing “Nearer My God To Thee.” The procession was formed and proceeded to the Baltimore and Potomac de- pot by Way of the avenue. THE ORDER OF THE PROCESSION was as follows: Mounted police; Col. Pennington and staff In command of Light Battery A; Second Artillery, the band of the regiment preceding; then the District military eee coer i the Dist trict militia, consisting of the Washington Li Infantry, Union Veteran Corps, National Rifles, Capital City Guards, Butler Guards and the Washington Cadets; then came the marine band and the ited States marine talion of the second ares?) chief marshal civic pi Parker, C.

ACTION OF. COURTS TO-DAY. Tn the Equity Court, this morning, Mr. Reginald Fendall called the attention of the court to the loss morning. Jn the Criminal Court, Judge Wylle, to-day, Dis- trict Attorney Corkhi!l made the announcement of the death of Major Twining, stating that he was an officer of the District, devoted to the faithful Performance of his duty, and in view of the high character of the deceased and in appreciation of his. services he moved that the court adjourn. Judge Wyle, in granting the motion, said titat he heard the anhouncement of Major Twining’s death with feelings of grief, for, without disparagement to other officers, he could say he wasthe most able that the District ever had. He knew nothing but the discharge of his duty, which he executed with singular fidelity and devotion. Judge Wylie also referred to the death of Admiral Rodgers, a distin- guished officer of the navy, whose funeral takes Place to-day. ; ‘In the Circuit Court, Mr. Ellfott called attention to the death of Major Twining in appropriate re- marks, and moved that the court adjourn. Mr. Mussey seconded the motion. Judge MacArthur said, in granting the motion, that Major Twining Was’ worthy of any mark of respect the commu- nity could pay him, ————— THE PERU INVESTIGATION. Senater Blair’s Retainer $100,000 in Steck. ‘The examination of Senator Blair was resumed this morning before the foreign affairs committee, Senator Blair stated that he was not aware when the question was asked that any special import- ance was attached to it; but, upon reading over the evidence, he had observed that the committee might deem’ it so in connection with other mat- ters, He would, therefore, answer the question, “How much scrip was offered him by Shipherd?” It was one thousand shares of a par value of $100 ashare. Mr. Shipherd had also asked the use of his name as one of the incorporators of the Peru- vian company, but he had declined it Mr. Blount then resumed the examination. Witness never understood the policy of this gov- ernment to be to make any demands on Chill and Peru, but simply to use its kind offices. Witness did not think hts position as a Senator had an fota of influence one way or the other, He thought the disposition shown to pocket the insult in- volved in the arrest of Calderon indicateda change of policy. Witness thought the feeling of the Pe- ruvian people was in sympathy with the Peruvian company as the only means of ald. Certainly the Peruvian consul in New York was warmly in sym- pathy with the company, and he supposed Calde- Ton also. He did not suppose that eru would ever consent to the payment of the entire claim, but supposed an adjustment would be made satis factory to all parties. REPRESENTATIVE DEUSTER'S QUESTION. Mr. Deuster then took up the examination and asked: “Do you mean to be understood that your sympathy with Peru induced you to take hold of this matter more than Your interest in these claims ?” ‘Witness replied that he did notdestre to set bim- seif up entirely as a humanitarian to the extent of not belng susceptible to the ordinary considera- tions which influence men generally; but at the start these claims had no welght whatever with him, He saw Peru the “under dog” and being badly torn, and his sympathies were warmly en- listed in her behalf. He saw in these claims an opportunity.as he thought, to extricate her, and he promised his kindly offices. r. Deuster then inquired: “Do you know the secret history of this war between Chill and ern” ‘This question led to a long discussion of the se- cret treaty between Peru and Bolivia, the disputed boundary question, and the various matters in- volved which finally culminated in the war. KNEW NOTHING OF CORRUPTION. Mr. Wilson asked: “Do you know of any fact or circumstance tending to show that any govern- ment official or minister plenipotentiary of the United States was in any way corruptly interested in the affairs of the Peruvian company?” ‘Witness replied that he knew nothing whatever of anything that sould suggest ‘ing of the in ‘MR. BLAINE’S CONDUCT. Q.—Did you see anything in the conduct of Mr. Bisine in his yoepagesncne of the State depart- ment that indicated that he was acting from any selfish motive of pecuniary gain, or political ad- vanMage or from any personal motive? A.—I saw nothing personal or selfish; I never knew anything more pure and upright and patri- otic than Mr. Blaine’s management of the State department. Witness stated that he did not un- derstand that It was ever contemplated as a pur- pose of the State department to establish an American protectorate over Peru. MR. BELMONT AND MR. BLAIR. Mr. Belmont asked what witness had meant by saying he had favored an extra session to discuss this matter. SenatorBlatr replied that at the time of thedead- lock in March, 1881, he had favored the assembIi of Cong in connection with the Isthmian can: and the troubles in South America; at that time he had not heard of these claims, and knew no- thing of them. Mr. Belmont.—I mention this matter, as there 4s an opinion of Gov. Boutwell in which he says the President may make peace through an agent a who has not béen confirmed by the Sendte. did he mean by this?” A.—“I do not know. I never knew of this opinion or Saw it until recentiy.” Q—“Was the upholding of Calderot ment necessary to the company?” A—“The affairs of the Peruvian company, of course, failed for the time being through the down- fall of the Calderon roment. For the time’ being the action of Chili in arresting Calderon fallure of the plans of the Peruvian company,” Qe. Blaine stated under oath that he be- leved this action of Chill was ‘a put up job on the part of England.’ Do you take the same view?” ‘Some amusement was caused by an excl Nleasantries in the fac toreach an und n’s_govern- success of the Peruvian hi England and her influ- ence and money was palpably and plainly evident in the Chilian management.
