AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE. The Brief Ceremonies in the Senate Chamber. GATHERING OF DISTINGUISHED MEN. The Procession to the Depot. Under a dripping sky the mortal remains of James Burnie Beck, late a United States Sena- tor from Kentucky, were borne at 10 o'clock this morning from the residence of Represent- ative Breckinridge of Kentucky, on East Capi- tol street, to the Capitol. They were accom- Panied by the Senate committee of arrange- ments andthe honorary pall bearers named by the Kentucky delegation yesterday. The carriages drew up at the footof the marble stairway at the cast front of the Senate wing of the Capitol. The members of the com- mittee arranged themselves on either side of the steps. The casket was then taken from the hearse and carried by eight of the Capitol police to the marble room, preceded by the committee, headed by Senators Blackburn and Evarts, Thecasket was placed in the center of the marble room and the committee retired, leaving the active pall bearers to act as the guard of honor. The casket was then opened and the doors of the marble room were thrown open to the public for an hour anda half. Through an erroneous announcement made yesterday to the effect that tickets of admission would be needed, the attend- ance at the ceremony was limited as the attendance at no other public function of the United States Senate has been limited before. Instead of the struggling crowd eager for ad- mittance at the hour of opening the Capitol doors there was a quiet, orderly assemblage which at 11:30 o'clock did not fill even the pub- lic galleries, IN THE MARBLE RooM. In the marble room, where the remains were laid in state, a line of people passed slowly by the coffin. Liliesof the valley fringed the sheet of crystal, through which could be seen the dead Senator's face, and the top of the cloth-draped “narrow home” was covered with floral tributes, Very marked were the changes in the tuckian’s features. The ale hue of dissolution had been succeeded y a yellow-grayish tint, and there were wrinkles which had not previously been noticed. Shrunken were the hands that for more than three score years had been busy doing good wherever and wheuever possible. A great many people moved slowly and silently through the room and took a last look at him whom the majority of callers knew. The casket was covered with black cloth and bore a silver plate with the words: “James Burnie Beck; born February 13, 13: died May 3, 1890.” FLORAL TRIBUTES. At the foot of the casket was tastefully ar- rangeda spray of flowers bearing the curd of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Breckinridge, In the Sen- ate chamber some handsome floral pieces had been arranged on the clerk’sdesk. A beauti- tul wreath of Easter lilies, white carnations and white and yellow roses bore the card of Mrs. Harrison, There was a wreath of ivy from Mr. and Mrs. Logan Tucker and other pieces from Mrs. Vance, Miss Laura B. Cox and Miss Laura Hilliard Patterson. The remains while in the marble room were guarded by Officers G. W. Thomas, Joseph Gil- bert, 8. P. Mast and D. J. Williams. PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE. The galleries were not filled when, at 12 o'clock, the Senate was called to order by Pres- ident Pro Tem, Ingalls, The tloor of the cham- ber had been supplied with chairs for the mem- of the House of Representatives and other officials invited to attend the services, the pall- bearers and members of the family with in- vited guests, The Senators seated themselves at the left of the presiding officer's desk. After the reading of yesterday's journal Mr. Blackburn presented the order of ceremot aud it was read and entered on the journal, and theu, on motion of Mr. Morrill, a recess was taken till 12:30. THE RECESS OVER. As soon as the recess was ended a message was received from the House notifying the Senate that the House had accepted the in- vitation to atteud Mr. Beck’s funeral and had appointed a committee of nine members to ac- company the remains to Lexington, Ky. At 12:30 President Pro Tem. Ingalls called the Senate to order. Ex-Senators Ferry of Michigan, Clingman of North Carolina and Sabin of Minnesota entered the chamber and took seats, At 12:45 the honorary pail-bearers on the art of the Senate were announced by the resident Pro Tem, as follows Messrs. Morrill, Sherman, Hale, Allison, Me- Pherson, Vest, Pugh and Gibson. ARRIVAL OF THE REPRESENTATIVES. Five minutes later the members of the House of Representatives, headed by Sergeant-at- Arms Holmes and Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms Charles B. Reade of the Senate, were an- nounced by the latter, and took seats at the right and left of the chamber, in the rear of the Senators, who stood to receive them. Speaker Reod was escorted to a place at the right of President Pro Tem. Ingalls, SUPREME COURT AND DIPLOMATIC CORPS. * The Members of the House of Representa- tives were followed by the Chief Justice and associate justices of the Supreme Court, pre- ceded by Marshal Wright and Clerk McKenny, who were seated at the right, in front of the Representatives, the diplomatic corps was represented by Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British minister, and members of the Chinese, Japanese, Venezuclan and Brazilian legations, who were seated imme- diately behind the Supreme Court, PRESIDENT AND CABINET. Five minutes later President Harrison and the members of his cabinet were received, the assemblage rising. Secretary Noble, who is not in the city, and Attorney General Miller, who is unweil, were the absentees, THE FUNERAL PROCESSION, At 1:08 the casket was borne into the cham- ber through the main door on the opposite side from the marble room. where it had been lying. It was preceded by Chaplain Butler and ex-Chaplain Bullock, the Senate and House — committees ‘wearing white sashes with black rosettes, the honorary pall bearers, both Senators and citi- zeus of Washington, wearing black sashes | fastened with white rosettes. Following the casket came Mrs, Goodloe, Senator Beck's daughter, and Maj. Goodloe, her husband, and friends of the family, who were seated at the left of the casket, which was placed in front of the secretary's desk. Asthe procession moved down the aisle Chaplain Butler read from the burial service, oe “I am the Resurrection and th ite.” ‘THE BRIEF CEREMONIES, After all had been seated, the clergy having taken their places at the clerk's desk, ex-Chap- lain Bullock read the 90th Psalm and offered a er, Petter reading from the 15th chapter of the First Epistle to the Corinthians (“Now is Neg 0 from the dead”), rps Dr. But- fered .

Litrie Rock, Ank., May 6.—-About two bun- dred witnesses testified yesterday before the Clayton-Breckinridge investigating committee. The majority of them were negroes and swore they voted for John M. Clayton for Congress. One bundred and fitteen of them lived in Riv- erside township, Woodruff county, and the re- mainder in Cotton Plant and Augusta, Wood- ruff county, and in Howard township, Conway county. The greatest sensation that ever took place in the federal court room in this city occurred about 8 o'clock last evening. Mrs. Thos. Hooper had finished giving evidence in which she testified that she was acquainted with Sater, when Hon, Carroll Armstrong erose and addressed the committee as follows: “Mr. Chairman, there have been some foul charges made against the people ot Norrillton and Cou- way counties by the mouthpiece of Powell Clay- ton. I desire to enter an appearance for the people of Conway count: “Note that Mr. Armstrong desires to enter an appearance for Conway,” said Maj. Lacey to the stenographe “I understand,” continued Mr. Armstrong, “this committee intends to adjourn within » short time after having received testimony here that would cast acload upon the people of Conway county and retire to the city of Washington for the purpose of making their report.” “L think that is quite possible,” said Mr, Lac: T insist that this committee shall subpoenas witnesses from the po of Conway—from among the good people of Conway county—to refute the charges that have been made by the infamous and vile slauderer.” No sooner had Mr. Armstrong uttered these words than Judge McClure sprang from his seat and struck tue attorney in the face. The court room was packed and everybody was ou his feet. Col. W. H. H. Clayton reached for his pistol, “Hold on, hold on,” exclaimed Powell Clay- ton. ‘we don't want any of that,” Friends caught hold of Mr. Armstrong, who Was struggling desperately to get at the judge to resent the blow. op that right here; stop it,” shouted Mr, Breckinridge. That wou't do; seize him and see if be is armed,” cried out Col, Clayton, “Why dou’t the committee arrest him,” exclaimed Powell Clayton; that would put aa end to this.” lua moment afterward Mr. Armstrong was led out of the room by Mr. Breckinridge, aud quiet being restored the investigation pro- ceeded without further interruption. There was a great deal of excitement created in the court room about 9 o'clock by Mra Hooper. She was seated by the side of ber daughter on the cast side of the room,when sud- deniy she got up and went over to the opposite side, where Sater was seated near Gov. Eagle and in the rear of the attorneys for contestees, There was @ vacant seat next to the one occu- picd by Sater and Mrs, Hooper threw herself into it and commenced & conversation with Sater about the murder of Clayton, “Why did ou Want toswear those lies against my dead bao Sater?” she asked. “On, I don't know of any lie, Mrs, Hooper, that Lewore against your husband,” Sater re- plied, Moiese, pond. Vou bee Mat my husband had no more to do with killing Johy M. Clay- tov than you did.” “Your husband told me every word I tes tatied here that he said to me. “Sater, you know better than that, You know he never said anything in his life against John M. Clayton; and I want to tell you right now that you had better not say anything against me.” “I have never spoken ili of you in my life.” “Well, I just dare you to do it, that’s all.” “Lcould not say anything against you If you will read my testimony, given last Satur- day, you will find that I spoke very highly of you, aud you ought to be proud of the compli+ ment I paid you.” Mra. Hooper about this time was beginning to elevate her voice, and Mr. Sater, to prevent & scene, got up and hurried to the wong ms o jooper the room.
