President and His Cabinet, Diplomatic Corps and Other Officials Present —The Fleral Tributes. The funeral services held over the re- mains of S:nator Edward Cary Walthall of Mississippi, in the United States Senate chamber today, proved to be one of the most solemn and impressive functions that has ever taken place at the Capitol, S2n- ator Walihall's great popularity amoog men of all parties was manifested in many ways, and especially by the attendance of almost every senator and r:presentative in Con- gress. The fact that the big guns of our Pavy may have been brought into action at the time of these ceremonies added to the solzmnity of t occasion, The Senate chamber and the corridors leading to it had been decorated with im- mense palms, while within the chamber over the Vice President's chair were fes- toons of evergreens. Shortly before 12 o'clock the Vice Presi- Gent and Speaker Reed enter2d the Senate chamber. They stood side by sjde during the ceremonies at the presiding officer's desk. Th2 galleries were filled with specta- tors, there being among them a very large number of Missippians resident in this city, while the senators’ private gallery was filled with memb=2rs of the*families of sen- ators who were intimately acquainted with the late senator from Mississippt. The memb2rs of the two houses entered the Senate chamber a few minutes before 12 o'clock, the senators being seated on the left of the chamber, whil2 the representa- tives were ranged in the rear on both sides of the hall. The members of the commit- tees of the Senat> and House appointed to attend the funeral, to represent Congress, wore white sashes and were seated on the l2ft of the presiding officer, the row of seats immediately in front of these committees being reserved for the members of Senator Watthall’s family. Mass of Flowers, All remained standing until the Vice President’s gavel was heard. Rev. Dr. Mc- Kim and Rev. Louis G. Wood of Epiphany Episcopal Church entered and took their piaces at the reading clerk’s desk, in front of them being the magnificent casket con- taining the remains of the deceased sena- tor. The casket was entirely hidden from view under a mass of white flowers. At the head, resting partly on the reading desk, was a great wreath of Easter lilies and roses, built upon southern leaves. The entrance of the diplomatic corps, headed by Sir Julian Pauncefote, was an- neunced. Nearly every country represented at Washingtcn had its representative at the funeral, and they occupied the row of seats at the head of which was the de- ceased senator’s desk draped in mourning. The German ambassador was seated be- side Sir Julian Pauncefote. All arose upon the entrance of the diplomatic corps and remained standing as they proceeded to their assigned places. The arrival of the chief justice ang members of the Supreme Court of the United States was then an- nounced, every member of that body being present. Entrance of President and Cabinet. The gavel was again sounded and the President of the United States, accom- panied by Secretary Sherman, entered. Im- Mediately following them were Secretaries Gage, Alger, Bliss, Attorney General Griggs and Secretary Wilson. They were escorted to seats on the front row to the right of the presiding officer, President McKinley being seated next to the aisle. All remamed standing until the family of the deceased had entered the chamber and were escorted io their places. ‘The blind chaplain of the Senate, Rev. Mr. Milburn, then delivered the invocation in a solemn_and impressive manner, afier which Rev. Dr. McKim and Rev. Mr. Wood read ths Episcopal service over ihe re- mains. Dr. McKim selecied his text from Paul's tle to the Coriathians: “Now is Curist sen from the dead.” His sermon was brief, but impresstvely delivered, dweit upon the resurrection of man. Removal of Casket. At the conclusion of the sermon the Vice President anncunced that the committe: appointed by the two houses of Congvess would accompany the remains to thelr last resting pl: the home of the deceased senator in M ppl, and requested that all should remain while the committee left the chember. The palibearers, members of the Capitol police force, then’ entered and bore the casket from the chamber, being followed by the committees of the Senate and Ho The family of the ceceased then retired and the President and nis cabinet pro- ceeded to the President’s room in the rear of the Senate lobby, the members of the Supreme Court leaving the hall followed by the diplomatic corps, after which members of the House left. A brief session of the Senate was then held, when the ordinary motion to adjourn was made and immediately adopted. The remains cf the dead senator were taken to the Pennsylvania station, where they were placed upon the special cer that will convey them to Mississippi for in- terment. The funeral party will leave the city at 8 o'clock this evening. >—— Prof. Gloetsner's Pupils’ Musicale. Last night, at the Universalist Church, the pupils of Dr. Anton Gloetzner tendered to a very appreciative audience a w>ll-ren- dered musica] program. The larga number of listeners credited the performers with deserved encores. The marked character- istics of all the play2rs were clearness, cleanness and simplicity of style; the more @rfficult compositions were played with bril- Maney, yet with comparative ease. The par- ticipants in the program were Misses Louise Hallen, MacMillan, Ethel Howard, Susanne Gutherz, Gallant Cummings, Ade- laide Sprecht, Olive Hughes, Franceska Kaspar, Agnes Allen and Helen Lyon, and Master Henry Kaspar. Miss Gutherz did especially fine work in hor interpretation of the difficult Mozart fantasie in C minor. Miss Lyon, Miss Hellen, Miss Cummings and Miss Hughes showed remarkable talent in the rendition of the compositions allotted to them. In addition to these, Mastar Hen- ry Kaspar performed his task very well. ‘Taken as a whole, the musicale, for one of its ‘kind, could not have better pleased the audiencs. and —— Smallpox Patient Released. Charies Hall, the colored boy who brought the smallpox here from Knoxville, Tenn., several weeks ago, was discharged from the hospital this morning. Soon after being discharged he called on Sanitary Officer Frank at police headquarters to get trans- portation home. Speaking to a Star reporter, Hall said he made his way here on a freight train from Knoxville, and had to go to the hospital the mext day after his arrival Eight days afterward the disease developed, and he Was removed to the smallpox hospital. When he left home, he says, there were several cases of smallpox outside the city of Knoxville, about six miles from his home. The five patients yet in the Washington hospital are improving.

ATTEMPT TO BRIBE OTIS Ohio Senate Investigating Committee Makes Its Report. Four Counts Alleging Bribery Set Up in the Majority Report Sent in Today. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 23.—The report of the committeee to investigate the charge that Representative John C. Otis was bribed to vote for M. A. Hanna for United States senator was made to th¢ senate this morning. It declares that four facts are established by the evidence: 1. Thet an attempt was made to bribe Otis to vote for Mr Hanna. 2. That the atempt was made through the agency of H. H. Boice. 3. That Boice was assisted in the at- tempt by C. W. F. Dick and Major E. G. Rathbone. 4. That H. H. Hollenbeck was also used as an agent in negotiating with Mr. Otis. As originally drawn the report added the name of M. A. Hanna after that of Rath- bone in the third finding, but Judge Rov- ertson would not sign the report until his mame was struck out. He claimed that Boice told E. Campbell, the chief wit- ness, that Mr. Hanna had nothing to do with the matter, and there was absolutely no evidence to show Hanna's connection with Boice. The clerk read the name of Senator Hanna in this finding when read- ing it to the senate, and Judge Robertson says it must come out or he will not vote for the adoption of the report. Th2 majority report recommends that Mr. Hanna be expelled from the United States Senate, declaring that his presence was cal- culated to cultivate political dishonesty and ltkely to disturb the political tranquillity of the nation, and the succ2ss of such a co! rupt scheme zertain to have a most sinister effect on the public mind. Senator Gar- field presented a minority report which in substance holds that the whole body of the evidence upon which the charges are based is too flimsy to receive serious considera- tion. The motion of Senator Garfield to substi- tute his minority report for the mafority report was lost—l® nays to 17 ayes—a strictly party vote, except that Burke, the anti-Hanna republican, voted with the dei ocrats against the substitution. By the same vote the majority report was adopted. Senator Robertson did not make the fight he said he would against connecting Sen- ator Hanua with the attempt to bribe, and it was adopted as read to the senate with- out debate, —_——_—_ GOODS LIABLE TO SEIZURE. Statement of a Government Official as to Contrnband Articles. Inasmuch as there exists a great amount of misapprehension not only among for- eign countries, but also among American shippers, as to the character of merchandise that is contraband and Hable to seizure dur- ing the progress of war, the following unof- ficial but authentic statzment has been ob- tained from a high official of the govern- ment: ” “Contraband of War. In determining, according to the law of nations, whether merchandise is contra- Land of war, it is classified: 1. Absolute contraband. 2. Occasional or conditional contraband. 3. Goods not contrabend. The first closs includes all goods of an es- sentially werlike character. The second class includes provisions, naval stores, coal, horses, certain kinds of chinery, certain forms of steel, iron, etc., which are subservient to warlike use and which are destined for the use of the ene- my. They are contraband or not, accord- ing to occasions and conditions as to their character, shipment and destined use. Ev- ery such case depends on its own facts. The third class includes articles not suit- ed to warlike use, such as church service and musical instruments, household wares and goods, and other such like articles, and including many that are purely mercantile in character. No article of merchandise is contraband unless transported beyond the territorial waters and jurisdiction of a neutral state, nor unless destined for an enemy port or for enemy use or for an enemy ship upon the high seas, which belligerent ships are permitted to police in search of enemy ships and contraband of war. No final and exhaustive definition of con- traband articles can be given. They are changing with the progress of inventions. Some articles were formerly contraband which now are not, and the converse is true. Each belligerent government 1s competent to determine what it will treat as contra- band. Should its prescription be made in outrageous disregard of international law or of treaty rights, neutral states affected would probably interpose. Neither belligerent can treat goods as contraband in violation of his treaty stipu- lations with a neutral power as regards the subjects of that power. Any one desiring to ship goods to a foreign port in neutral vessels would profitably consult any exist- ing treaties between Spain and the gov- ernment of that port. The belligerent right of capture as against a neutral exists only either in case of contraband of war or of enemy goods aboard, or of a violation of an effective blockade, and in other analogous cases where the conduct of the neutral justifies the belligerent in treating his property as enemy property. If Spain adheres to the principle ‘free ships, free goods,” as this government proposes to do, only contra- band goods are subject to capture in such ships. SEIZING HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. Senator Davis Holds That It Would Be Entirely Justifiable. Members of the Senate committee on for- eign relations are generally without infor- mation as to the plans of the administra- tion in Hawaii, but some of them indorse the idea of securing the Pacific Islands by soizure at this time in view of their strat- egic importance. Senator Davis, chairman of the committee, is among those who hold this view. He said yesterday that he con- sidered the United States would be entirely justified in taking the islands in case of war as a war measure. “They would,” he said, “be necessary for our own defense, and we would be justified in their seizure at such a time to prevent their falling into the hands of our enemtes, to whom they would be invaluable. What is to prevent Spain's sending a cruiser to Honolulu and seizing the country, together with our property interests there, including our coal, of which, I understand, we have quite a supply in the islands. Furthermore, there are in Hawaii many American citi- zens whose interest it is necessary we should protect. For these and other rea- sons I should indorse the taking possession of the islands by the United States in time of war with another country into whose hands they might fall. We, of course, know that the Hawaiian government is friendly to annexation, so that acquirement by this means would not be so violent a proceeding as it might seem under other efrcumstances.”” It is said that in case possession was ac- quired in this way there would be no necessity for confirmatory action by Con- gress. o—____ Carmack Given His Seat. In the House yesterday the Patterson-. Carmack contested election case was dis- posed of, the sitting member, Mr. Carmack, being given the seat by a vote of 136 to 118. Several republicans voted with the demo- crats and many declined to vote. The democrats were bitter in their denuncia- tions of Mr. Patterson, who belonged to the gold wing of the party. Both the con- testant and contestee addressed the House in their own behalf. —_—__o—_____ Regiment of Irish Volunteers.

ABY CARRIAGES. Don’t keep baby in-doors these fine spring days just because you haven't the ready money for a carriage. We offer you anything in our store— ON CREDIT—and a handsomer line of Baby = Carriages can’t be found anywhere. Take the one é you like and pay a little each week or month— You'll own a carriage without feeling its cost. Our prices can’t be lowered in the cash stores. You'll have no notes to sign and no interest to pay. GROGAN’S Mammoth Credit House, 817-819-821-823 7th St. N.W. Between H and I Streets. edt a a ¥ ee ee eee ae ap21-754 eeee, ‘Ever try Hot Tomale?
