The Simple but Impressive Services at St. Matthew’s Church. 4 LARGE AND DISTINGUISHED ASSEMBLAGE TO HONOR THE MEMORY OF THE DECEASED LADY—A REQUIEM LOW MASS CELEBRATED BY FATHER SHERMAN—CABDINAL GIBBONS’ BLESSING, The vicinity of the Blaine mansion was thronged with carriages this morning for the second time within a month and a great black hearse stood outside. Inside the house in one of the large upper rooms lay the remains of the Secretary's eldest daughter, Mrs. Col. J. J. Coppinger, whose death occurred Sunday and whose funeral services took place this morning. A short service of prayer was held at the mansion at 10 o’clock in the pres- ence of the family, the President and Mrs, Harrison and the members of the cabinet and their wives. Rev. Father Sherman, the son of Gen. Wm. T. Sherman, officiated. In the meantime an enormous crowd of people had been collecting on the steps and in front of St. Matthew's church, at the corner of 15th and H streets awaiting the coming of the cortege, which slowly made its way around the corner. AT THE CHURCH the following corps of ushers were on duty to keep the inflowing throng from the reserved wa: Capt. Jno. G. Bourke, Lieut. Lemly, Dr.M. sae th, Dr. F. B, Loring, Mr. Remsen te~ house, Hon, John B. Moore, Col. 8. C. Kellogg, Capt. Charles Schofield. pes had been stretched from the edge of the portico to the doors of the church, in order to preserve a passage-way. The casket, black and simple, and almost wholly covered with beautiful floral offerings, was borne into the church by six strong men, following whom came the honorary pall bearers, who were as follows: Hon. J. Manly, Capt. Robt. Em- mett, Maj. Schwan, Gen. Nicholas Anderson, Mr. Stanwood, Mr. Horton Pope, Mr. Chase Weller and Mr. Thos. Ewing, jr. THE SORROWING FAMILY AND FRIENDS, Immediately after the remains walked Mrs, Blaine, on the arm of Col, Coppinger, then the Secretary with Miss Dodge (“Gail Hamilton”), Mr. Emmons Blaine and his wife, James G.

Mr.{Ingalls, from the judiciary committee, re- ported a resolution (which was agreed to) recting the Attorney General to communicate a statement of all expenditures in connection with the United States circuit court for the northern district of Florida in November and December, 1889, with copies of all communi- cations between the Department of Justice and the officers of that court relating to criminal prosecutions during the same months, NEW BUSINESS, Among the bills introduced and referred was one by Mr. Walcott for the admission of the state of New Mexico and one by Mr. Plumb for the protection of the American bison. Mr. Ingalls grees 8 petition asking an appropriation of @1 r capita for emigrants Gita Beer - Mr. Plumb offered a resolution (which was agreed to) calling on the Secretary of War to furnished copies of the various reports of mili be f officers in relation to affairs at Gutbri and Oklahoma City, Indian Territory, since the opening and settlement of the territory. THE CONDITION OF THE DISTRICT FIRE DEPART- MENT. Mr. Hawley offered a resolution (which was agreed to) instructing the committee for the District of Columbia to inquire into the condi- tion of the fire department of Washington, and remarked that the recent occurrence (the fatal fire at Secretary Tracy's house) had suggested the inquiry, although be did not mean his reso- lution to imply any censure whatever. Mr. Dawes moved that the Senate proceed to executive business, MR. PLATT AND THE OKLAHOMA BILL. Mr. Platt said that he had intended to ask the Senate to take up the bill for the organiza- tion of the territory of Oklahoma, inasmuch as the condition of affairs there seemed to render early action necessary. The relations of par- ties there were very much strained, and it was believed that riot and bloodshed might occur atany moment. Bat if the Senator from Mas- sachusetts thought that there should be an exe- cutive session now so as to devote the day to executive business he would give notice that he would call up the Oklahoma _bill tomorrow. Mr. Dawes preferred to have his own motion prevail; but if the Senator from Connecticut insisted that the public needs required the postponement of executive business till tomor- row he(Mr. Dawes) would yield to the Senator, though with regret. Mr. Platt—Then I give notice that tomor- row morning. immediately after the routine business, { will ask the Senate to consider the bill for the organization of a government in Oklahoma. ME, RLATR AND HIS BILL, Mr. Blair—The unfinished business is the educational bill, Aftea deferring it several times I had expected by the usual courtesy of the Senate to have made some remarkson the subject today. As Iam interrupted by reason of an executive session I gave notice that at 2 o'clock tomorrow I will call up the education bill (or it will come up itself as unfinished business) and at that time I will address the Senate.” EXECUTIVE SESSION. The Senate then proceeded to the considera- tion of executive business, Nominations Confirmed. The Senate this afternoon confirmed the nomination of Wm. H. Taft of Ohio to be solici- tor general vice O. W. Chapman, de- ceased, Confirmation was also announced of the nomination of John M. Clark to be collector of the port at Chicago and of Au- gustus Heard of Massachusetts go be consul general and minister resident to THE HOUSE. In his prayer this morning the chaplain said: “OQ, Lord God, our Heavely Father: Again wo bring to Thee in our supplications Thy serv- ants—one following the body of his daughter to the grave; the other prostrate in weakness and anguish, his home in ashes, his wife and daugh- ter lying dead. In such extremity of loss and bereavement help them to find in Thee the only refuge of the heart in itr agony. Thou alone, O, Father, art the regen Lond the soul. Likewise we commend to Thy fatherly pity and care Thy servant, the member of this House bereaved by the death of his wife.

FAIR BILL UP AGAIN AT ALBANY, a eee. 7 Business Beginning Again in the Broken New York Banks EX-DEPUTY SERGEANT-AT-ARMS SHOT, —__ A CENTURY OF JUSTICE. Celebrating in New York the Centenary of the Founding of the Supreme Court. New Yorx, Feb. 4—Dimmed considerably by the sad events of the past few days, the cel- ebration of the centennial of the federal judi- ciary was this morning inaugurated. The weather seemed designed tocast a further gloom upon the affair, for a disagreeable rain set in shortly after 90’clock, which grew heavier asthe hour for the exercises approached. All pre- parations had been perfected for the event, however. At all the principal hotels early calls were made upon the distinguished guests from all over the Union and every attention was shown them by the committee in charge, Car- Tiages rolled up to the doors and the guests were escorted to the Metropolitan opera house, where they gathered in the waiting rooms apd lobbies, awaiting the formation of the proces- sion. At 10:30 the procession, headed by the judges of the Supreme Court of the United States in their official robes, followed by the various judges of the federal district courts, the New ‘ork state court of appeals, the supreme, su- perior,common pleas and other courts, marched down the various alsles of the opera house and assumed the various seats and boxes allotted them. The members of the Supreme Court of the United States occupied seats on the stage slong with ex-President Grover Cleveland and many other legal dignitaries. The immense auditorium was crowded with national and state law makers, lawyers, citizens and representa- tives of the profession. Many ladies were pres- ent, MB, CLEVELANDS's INTRODUCTION. At 10:30, when Mr. Cleveland took his place as president of the assemblage, there was loud and prolonged cheering, and it was several minutes before the honorable ex-President could be heard, Mr. Cleveland then in « clear voice delivered his introductory address, clos- ing with the following brilliant peroration: “Our fathers sacrificed much to be free.
