THE SENATE IN SESSION. Mr. Sherman Opposes the Trans- fer of the Revenue Sarvice. SEVERAL BILLS The House Adjourns in Respect to the Memory of Mr. Randall. PASSED. SENATE, Messrs, Sanders and Power, the new Montana Senators, were in their seats this morning, their desks having been placed on the republi- can side since adjournment yesterday. The desks were first located on the demo- cratic side, after the four new states were admitted, and there they remained until the action of the Senate yesterday seat- ing the republican contestants. Under the terms of a resolution presented in executive session yesterday by Mr. Hoar Mesars, Sanders and Power will be assigned by lot to the classes of Scnators whose terms expire in 1893 and 1895 respectively. AMONG THE PETITIONS AND MEMORIALS Presented was one by Mr. Butler from the Charleston Board of Trade protesting against the passage of the Butterworth anti-option and future bill; one by Mr. Reagan containing the resolutions of the city council of Gainesville, Tex., in favor of the bill to expend $6,000,000 for the improvement of Galveston harbor; one by Mr. Harris containing resolutions by the Cotton and Merchants’ Exchanges of Memphis, asking that liberal appropriations be made for the work of the Mississippi river commission; by Mr. Frye, the resclations passed by the American Shipping League at its recent ses- sion in Washington. BILLS INTRODUCED. Among the bills and joint resolutions intro- duced were the following: By Mr. Sherman—Tendering the thanks of Congress to Rear Admiral Henry Walker and the officers and men under his command on the U.S.S.

By Mr. Mitchell (by request)—to regulate promotion tothe heads of the staff of the army. TERMS OF THE MONTANA SENATORS, In accordance with the terms of the resolu- tion proposed by Mr. Hoar the clerk placed in a box two papers of equal size, bearing the numbers 1 and 2. Senator Sanders drew No, 1 and Senator Power drew No. 2. Vice President Morton thereupon announced that Senator Sanders would be placed in the class of Senators whose terms expire March 3, 1893, and Senator Power in the class whose terms expire March 3, 1895. BILL PARSED. Bills making appropriations for public build- ings were taken from the calendar and passed as follows: Lynn, Mass., $125,000 (House bill); Manstield, Ohio, #100,000 (Senate bill); Tusca- loosa, Ala., 240,000 (House bill).

Also House bill for the appointment and re- tirement of John C. Fremont as a major gene- ral in the U.S. army. PROPOSED TRANSFER OF THE REVENUE SERVICE. On motion of Mr. Gray the House bill to transfer the revenue cutter service from the ‘Treasury Department to the Navy Department was taken up for consideration, Mr, Sherman opposed the bill, It was hardly worth while, he said (within the half hour lett before 2 o'clock), to enter into the considera- tion of the bill He had no de- sire to prevent its consideration and discussion. If, atter discussion the Senate chose to pass it of course itcould do so. The bill involved a revolution of the management of the revenue marine since the foundation of the government. The establishment of the revenue marine had taken place under an act drafted, he believed, by Alexander Hamilton, and had continued from that day to this, There had been many attempts made to de- stroy the revenue marine and to transfer it to the navy, but they had been (after discussion inthe Senate and House) defeated. There never had beena Secretary of the Treasury who had not remonstrated against the attempt as destructive to the service, THE HOUSE, After the reading of the journal Mr. Butter- worth (Ohio) arose and said that it was seemly and proper and a just tribnte of respect to the memory of the distinguished man whose funeral took place today that the House ad- journ. A motion to this effect was immedi- ately adopted, EE OR Interior Department Changes.

TRE BOPY LYIXG IN STATE AT TRE CAURCR~ HUNDREDS LOOK THEIR LAST UPON 1T—THE SERVICES—-REV. DR. CHESTER'S FEELING AD- DRESS-—THE REMAINS TAKEN TO PHILADELPHIA, The funeral services over the remains of Representative Randall were held this morn- ing at the Metropolitan Presbyterian Chureh, and at 11:40 a.m. the funeral train left the Pennsylvania depot for Philadelphia, With hymns and prayer and simple words of enlogy by his pastor, Rev. Dr. Ches- ter, and Dr, Milburn, the blind chaplain of the House, the service of the dead was conducted in the presence of the deceased statesman’s col- leagues in Congress and hundreds of his friends. Cabinet ministers and Congressmen, with the humblest citizen, who hold the memcry of Randall dear, assembled in the church to tes- tify their sorrow and to do reverence to the dead. Every effort to preserve the simplicity of the service tended to increase its solemnity. The services were in keeping with the character of the man. Such a testimonial is seldom paid to auy man and participated in by such an as- semblage of distinguished people, al! of whom had the bearing of mourners. About 7 o'clock in the morning. before the remains were taken to the church, a private service of prayer was held at the house. THE REMAINS LYING IN STATE. The remains were then taken to the church, where they lay in state until about 9:30 o'clock. Hundreds of people, including many Senators and Representatives, looked for the last time on the dead statesman’s face. 'Yhe remains were placed in the sanctuary before the high altar. A large wreath and a spray of palm rested on the casket, which was of black cloth. The altar and the choir balcony and organ were draped heavily in black. On either side of the pulpit stood a palm on draped pedestal, and in front were many flow- ers. On one side was a large shaft fashioned after the Washington monument, which was presented by the Plate Printers’ Association. On the other side was an arch and cross and an emblem of the sacred heart presented by the Samuel Jackson Randall Association of Philadelphia. The wreath that rested on the casket was presented by the members of the House appropriations committee. ‘As the people assembled Prot. Bischoff played a hymn, so soft that it could just be heard, genily filling the church with low, sad music. DISTINGUISHED ASSEMBLAGE IN THE CHURCH. About 9:30 the carriages with the family and immediate friends reached the church and as Mrs, Randall, leaning on the arm of her hus- band’s brother, the two daughters (Mrs, Lan- caster and Miss Susan), the only son and namesake of the dead statesman, and other relatives (many of them from Phila~ delphia) moved up the aisle to the seats re- served for them in the right center, they were preceded by Dr. Chester, wearing a long white scarf, ‘and reciting’ the opening to the burial service. am the Resnr- rection and the Life.” Soon after- ward the members of the joint committee of the two houses, also wearing white scarfs, entered the church and took their seats in the left center, the front row being oceu- pied by four of Mr. Randall's old- est friends and colleagues—Mesers. O'Neill, Carlisle, McKinley and Holman. A hittle back of the joint committee sat Mr. and Mrs. Blaine, aud near to them Vice President and Mrs. Mor- ton, Mrs, Harrison, escorted by Mr. Halford, the President's private secretary, and Chief Justice Fuller and daughter. Mr, Wanamaker was in another part of the church. A large number of Senators and members of the House, including the Speaker and many ex-members, were also present. A deputation of*about thirty uniformed members of the Grand Army of the Republic from Philadelphia was in the church and afterward acted as an escort to the funeral procession. The great bulk of the congregation was composed of Mr. Randall's friends and neighbors, who loved him and sincerely mourned his death, THE SERVICES, The hymn “Lead, Kindly Light” having been sung by the Schubert quartette, the lection from tae 15th chapter of Ist Corin- theans, beginning with the verse, “But now is Christ risen from the dead,” was de- elaimed by Mr. Milburn, who followed with a prayer, in which he spoke of the coftin that contained all that was mortal of “A loyal and beloved husband. a revered and tender father, a steadfast friend, a stainless patriot, an upright statesman, an impassioned lover of his country and an unweary servant of the people.” He gave thanks and praise “for the wealth of a reser name, the ngbility of a simple character, a career adorned by uprightness and fidelity and fearlessnes he hymn, ‘Just as Lam, Without One Piea,” which was said to be Mr. Randall's favorite hymn, was sung, and then the funeral sermon was preached by Dr. Chester as follows: _- DR. CHESTER'S ADDRESS, Dr. Chester, in beginning his address, said it was a wish oxpressed by Mr. Randall that his funeral services should be devoid of ali earthly pomp: that they should be held in the sanctuary, wuere the heart instinctively bends in reverential adoration before its God; that the chief recognition of himselt should be his testimony to the grace of Jesus Christ as the blessed Saviour. The expression of such a de- sire, said the speaker, atfords one of the best eulogies on his character. It reveals the hon- est simplicity of his nature. It fitly crowns a life of service to man by a death of testimony to the grace of God. “Those who knew him intimately,” said Dr. Chester, “recognized the fact that long before his last sickness his mind had turned to serious reflection. Reared in youth under tie influ- ences of the gospel, coming from a pious an- cestry, he grew up with a respect for religion, which revealed itself in his attendance on the church, in his conscientious observance of the Sabbath, in his fidelty w his domestic ties, in his interest in all Christian charities. However men might differ from him in opinion all recognized the rugged honesty of his ch&r- acter; all knew that his hands could never be sullied by bribes or his opinions served by. favor, Like all other men he had his tempt: ns, but long before his death he had cor pletely conquered every unlawful appeti (et, with all this morality of life, Mr. Randall reahved that he needed that preparation of heart which could only come through the blood which cleanseth from al! sin and by that Holy Spirit which can sanctify the soul. Therefore was it that after calm reflection he made the request to be baptized and be received into the church of Christ. This step was taken at a time when, however anxious his triends were ®bout his recovery, he himself fully expected returning to active life. He once remarked to his family: ‘I know that God has given me in- fluence among my fellow men, and as I have now a prospect of recovery I want henceforth to nse the influence of my example on the side of Christianity.’ It wasatouching scene when more than three months since he @ profession of his faith im Christ, was baptized and partook of the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. Though prostrated on his couch with that strong will which ever charac- terized his actions, he made the last effort of his life to rise from his couch to receive the baptismal rite. He devoutly partook of the em- biems of the body and blood of the Saviour. The little bei of his family and friends there assembled, heard that voice which had often rung through legislative halls speak- ing in accents of ateful love of that Blessed One who id brought salvation to his soul. That strong resolute man bowed as meekly as a little child to take the & of Christ, aud he whom men delighted to jonor confessed himself to be a sinner saved by grace. Truly in his case the promise wes faltilied, ‘Take my yoke and learn of me and ce find rest for your soul.’ From that ur a great load seemed lifted off his mind. He passed, — — poet ge severest bodily _pain; fought nobly, courage- ously, hopefully, the battle with dieease, yet he bore his suffering with a beautiful Christian patience. The promises of God's word, frequent meditation on she grace of Christ, the prayers offered at his bedside, were his greatest comfort.” CHAPLAIN MILBUEN'S ADDRESS. The closing address was by Mr. Milburn, who recalled the time when a young man (alluding to Mr. Wanamaver) was accustomed to hold a Sunday evening service in » neighboring city TWO CENTS. to hear where the people were drawn im, although was not a min- ister by lession = aud was not; receiving hire for his services.

The words that had been spoken with fear and trembling by that young man many years before had been a living germ in the breast of him who heard them and had sprung up into a harvest of everlasting life, The form of him who heard them, Mr. Milburn exclaimed, pointing to the coftin, is here, The soul (pointing upward) is there. The man who spoke 1s now in this house. REMOVAL OF THE REMAINS. | The anthem, “Still, Still with Thee,” was sung, the benediction was pronounced, the | body was reverently borne from the church, the funeral procession was formed and siowly moyed down to the Capitol | grounds and by w: vania avenue to | the station of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com- pany. ‘MR.

Mr. Hawley says that, should the strike be ordered in this city—and he confidently ex- within twelve hours it will coutagions and spread all over the United States. He claims that they have ance of support and are backed by the ration in every city. Interviews with switchmen at work in the several railroad yards disclose the fact that they are fully prepared for the movement, and are almost a unit inthe statement that they will cease work the moment they receive the ofticial order, The impression is gaining ground that the Officials of the federation will make another effort to secure recognition of their organiza- tion and aconference with the railroad officials before ordering a strike. The railroad officials have refused positively to recognize the federation and unless one side or the other recedes from their present stand « j strike seems inevitabi A late report from federation headquarters is that the strike may be ordered at any mo- ment.

AT cHIcAG Cuteaco, April 17.The only difference in the situation yesterday in relation to the car- penters’ strike was an aggravation of the con- ditions and embarrassments arismg therefrom.

Coakley, as an engineer of the Cincinnati, Hamil- ton and Dayton railroad. Coakley was one of th trustec men of the company, always being put to the front when any fast special runs were to be made. He was also chief of the local branch of the brotherhood. Coakley was on the strong engine when it ran into the accommo- dation «ut Winter Place and in jumping from the locomotive was severely in- jured, A few weeks lIater he re- covered sufficiently to return to his post of duty when all his friends were surprised and astonished to learn that he had been discharged, no reason being given. It is said that Coakley suggested and interested himself in the bill in- troduced by Representative McMakin, and which became a law, for the 1 ‘rail- road —. It is repo that by reason of this Coakley gained the displeasure of the com- y and was dismissed from its service, The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers bas a committee at work gathering the facts in the case and it is probable that the Cinci Hamilton and Dayton will hear from it.
