THE WAR. No Hope for Ghazi Osman. SURRENDER OR DIE! Every Path Into or Out of Plevna Closed, KARS AT RUSSIA'S MERCY. Servia Will Not Be Permitted to Join Russia, [B® CABLE TO THE HERALD. J Lonpoy, Nov. 6, 1877. The Times’ Vienna correspondent says by the occupation of the heights near Dubnik the Russians command the Turkish tée de pont over the Vid, which is the only means of egress from Plevna on the south and west, The investment of Plevna is now complete, OSMAN’S HOPELESS SITUATION. The correspondent thinks Osman Pacha, engirdled by the vastly superior artillery which the Russians can now bring to bear from all sides, will soon find his position untenable. Meantime the Russians are clearing not only the Sofia road but all ap- proaches from the Balkans. NO FLANK ATTACK POSSIBLE, The occupation of the Teteven Pass de- prives the lurks of the means by which they might have operated on the flank of the Russian detachments advancing from Telische and Lovatz toward Orchanie. A Turkish relieving army would have to fight Its way up to Plevna step by step. REPULSE OF THE TURKS, A Turkish force, numbering between three thousand and four thousand men, from south of the Balkans attacked o Russian force at Mahred, south of Elena. After three hours’ fighting the Turks re- treated, leaving a hundred dead and many wounded. ONWARD, EVER ONWARD. Russian official bulletins report continued prog- tess on the Plevna and Orchanie and Lovatz and Orchanie roads. Teteven and Turksisver are occu- Pied by infantry and cavalry, and a cavalry detach- ment has penetrated the Yabianitza Pass in pursuit of retreating Turks, WAS GHOURKO KILLED? Aspecial despatch from Constantinople to the Standard says it is reportef from Orchante, on the Buthority of Russian prisoners, that General Ghourko was wounded during the recent fighting fnd has since died. This is decidedly improbable. KARS CLOSELY INVESTED. A Russian oficial despatch, dated Vezinkay, No- vember 4, says:—‘‘Kars is now closely invested. To-day we began the erection of siege batteries Opposite the southeastern fort.” ISOLATION OF ERZEROUM. A special despatch to the Vienna Neue Frete Presse reports that a Russian force trom Ardahan has entered the Western Euphrates Valley. This would cut the line of communication between Batoum and Erzeroum and endanger that between Erzeroum and ‘Trebizond. By cutting the latter line the Russians might easily make the evacuation of Erzeroum absolutely necessary. A TEN HOURS’ BATTLE. Erzeroum despatches, dated Monday, say:— “A severe attack was made to-day on the Turkish positions. There was fighting along the whole line. Atter a ten hours’ engagement the Turkish centre was driven in and the Turks were compelled to fall back. Mukhtar Pacha was slightly wounded.”* CONFIDENT OF WHAT? An Erzeroum telegram says:—“The Russians are constructing to the north of Moukhtar Pacha’s po- sition a road leading to the plain before Erzeroum. fhe Turks are generally much more confident.” SERVIA HAS WAITED TOO LONG. A special despatch trom Vienna has the follow- Wg fhe recent Russian successes have renewed the war agitation in Belgrade, but so indifferent to Servia’s attitude are the Russians now that @ report is current that Prince Karageorgevitch, the Servian pretender, has been invited to visit the Russian headquarters and was well received there. Whether this is true or not itis certain that Servia's trim- ming hus spoiled her position with Russia, Turkey ,and the Great Powers alike, and she is likely to commit hersell to some desperate measure in the effort to retrieve herselt.” TO BE SbNT TO CONSTANTINOPLE. Minister Layard telegraphs to the British Foreign OMice that he has been assured and believes, that the Geshotis are safe and will be sent to Constanti- nople. ‘TELEPHONY. & BALTIMORE AUDIENCE HEARING MUSIC TRANSMITTED FROM NEW tonk.

Rain fell from daylight to noon, From noon to dark it grew colder, with considerable wind. The tempera- ture had fallon twelve dogrees up to sundown. From the opening of the Court House doors this morning until balf-past ten an uninterrupted throng moved through viewing the remains of Senator Morton, At that hour the pall bearors took a lust look at tho dead features, whereapon the casket was taken to the hearso and then to the residence of the decoasod, escorted by tho military. The first room at the lett from the hall was gracefully draped with flags and mourning emblems, In front of the mirrors, betweon tho front windows of this Apartment, stood a maguificent tree of white flowers. In the centre of tho room, frouting the entrance, stood a floral pillow with aground of white and a secondary purple border bearing upon tbe centre in violets the word, “Rest? Immediately back of this, bencath the mantel, wasa floral medalijou having inserted at its top a sheaf of fullripe wheat. This was bordered with roses, having opposite the sheaf and on the bot- tom of the circlo as it lay the lettor +3"? 1n blue flow- ers, the whole bordered with a wreath of smilax. In the second room on the right, standing ob the piano stool, was a floral harp bearing the motio, ‘Our Friend,” and the initials “0, P.M.” flanked on the right and loft by two broken floral shatts, and in the rear by @ portion of the decorations used at the Court House, In thia rootn was also placed a floral pillow bearing the legend, ‘Indiaoa’s Pride.” In the third room stood an easy chair, more cloquent im {ts vacancy than ull the floral tributes, draped with the Stars and Stripes in mourning colors. Ig this room was also located a shalt of laure! and ivy leaves, surmounted by a white dove, from whose beak depended a wreath of smilax and ivy, bearing the motto, ‘A sight testimonial of the gratitude we bear one who was the unswerving advocate of woman's suffrage, Drs, Francis Miner and Phavbe Cozzens, of St. Louis.” In this room was also deposited a floral pillow composed principally of tuberoses, in the centro of which appeared the motto, “A Nation Mourns, POSITION OF TUR CASKET. ‘The casket was deposited in the fourth, or east, room, againat the mantel of which rested an anchor of tuberoses and carnations, with the motto ‘Rest’? in purple immortelics, from the President and Mrs, Hayes, brought by Mr. Burchard Hayes, This was flanked on one sido by ashicld of white roses, bear- ing in tho centre tho initials *O, P, M.’’ in purplo im- mortelles, and on the other side by an anchor from the colored citizens of Philadelpbia, As soon as practicable alter the depositing of the romaios tor the last time in the room so familiar to him during life the house was cleared and the family was lett tor a brief hour with their dead and their grief. Upon the opening-of the doors the time was occupied prior to the removal of the remaina to the hearse by the committees from the Cabinet, Senate and House of Roprosentatives; distinguished guests, and let- ter carriers-in taking a lust look, aiter which tho | funeral cortége was jormed to proceed to the church according to the programme. DECORATIONS IN THE CHURCH. The groat organ which fills the space in the rear of the pulpit, a gleaming mass of siiver pipes, set in black walnut framework und walled in by the broad descending gallery balustrades and pulpit frame, had flowing trom a crape loop at the top, two broad bands of black, parting to the leit und right at tho foot. From the side gas jets in tho gallery stretched down to the key bank of the organ two im- mense flags, the blue flelds meeting ta tho centre and their waving folds looped and intertwined with crape. | Iu front of each of the large statned glass windows above and below, through which the light streamed as | through a prism, stood three delicate silk guidous crossed ke an escaicheon, At oach of the support | ing pillars of the gallery stood ,» gold fringed, | gold starred silken banner of the line, the blue flold at the top of the folds turned around the pillar. On the crape bands alung the gailery bal- ustrades were stretched great garrison flags with czape bands, looped with crape rosettes. At each end | of the balustrades in the rear of the pulpit stood a silk standard, bound with crape, Over the pulpit and stand was another garrigoa flag with black draping, completely covering tho whole front, while the pulpit itself had @ second covering of a silk stand. ard, the blue field resting just under the bible, On thia rested a # of white flowers, two feet from point to pomt, Below it was a broad crape band | looped with black silk bowa Tho altar rail was covered with black, trimmod with smilax and knots of white flowers, The decorations of the church, in keeping with tho noblo auditorium, were massive, rich and abounding in a dignified simplicity, and blending with the black walnut woodwork, evergreens and upboistery did not distract tho attention from the sad scenoitself which was the object of living intrest, ‘rhe flags usod were all natioval colors, brought from the government depot at Jeffersonville by Geuoral Ekin, and placed in position by tho commitiee under his personal supervision, Tho large spaco inside the | altar rail and between it and the pulpit stand was | cloaked with a mnass of the most beautiful and touch- fog floral decorations, all gifis trom at home und abroad, MUSIC. | last was eqi | richest lov | seemed to hee no service at all, | hand, and do it easily At twenty minutes alier twelve o'clock the great organ sounded tho opening notes of Beethoveu's fuseral march on tho death of Hero, Then came, in | order, the “Parowoll,” trom ‘Jeptha,? by Handel; | the “Marcho Funebre,” by Chopin; ‘Lachrymosu,” | from the “Requiom,’? by Mozart; ‘Funeral March,’ by Mengelssohn; “Klegy of Yeurs,” by Schubert; | uneral March to the Memory of 0.

DR, BAYLESS. At half-past two the eulogy was pronounced by Rev. Dr. J. H. Bayless, pastor of the church in which tho ceremonies took place, as foliows:— Senator Morton, in common with all public men, lived two lives, One of them was before the public, the other was not. It occurred also in his cuse, as 18 bot uncommon, that tho life be lived in public be- came 80 conspicuous that men almost forgot be was living any other life. He was so large a ticure in the Senate that it was not remembered that ho was any- thing iu hia own bome. His observed life was so crowded with vast aflairs that lew ever imagined whether he ever kissed hia children, or whether ne had any children, The world saw io him so much bat i: did not ask whother be had tenderness It charged bim with ambition, but did not credit him with love. One almost inevitable result of this state of Jacts 18 inisrepresentation of character, Amun who lives a dual life can be known only Whea known in both parts of his dual career. Love is us largea factor as will iu making up the footings to know (he aggregate of a inan, und, therolore, ove who is known only in the former js but balf known, It 4g one of the penalties which men pay for bei great, So far ay this wan was w public maa | need not speak of him at length, Everybody can seo the sun You know him and can judge of bim. I will not tell you that ne had ambition as gtunts often have, nor that the goul of his ambition Was worthy of his powers, His aim was high, his will unbenuing and his purpose u quenchiess flume, Ho brought into the straggle almost iuvincible powers, Ho never uttered uritles and was clumsy in the byplay of debate, but wuited for great ocea- sions, and then spoke great things, Thore foro the people listened — spellbound ~— and. the Sevate sat in silence while he spoke, ‘Yhero1s probably not a man on earth who can sit and address un auutenco and bold us tauy thousands in silence for a8 many hours as could the man whose loss we now moura, He haa the qualities of a commander, ‘Yhat instinct in men which leads thom to hunt for leaders ied them to him, With & military training he would have shone in a con. Jaion in which Napoleon and Alexanaer would bave been po hiuber than he, I need not tell you that he Was no fair-weather sailor, He was burried to tne helm in atempost. Ho showed his greatness by becoming a master iu pertious times. What to most men was depression was to bim in spiration; what to others threutenod disaster was to him a prophecy of victory. This means that be was courageous and had the scif-potse which comos of con- sciousness of power, and no man docs mach who not #o. 1 need not tell you that he struck for the Unton and for treedom in the dark days of the re- public.

But no matter who was in the parlor with him nor what large affuirs were the subject of conver. sation, when his children came he helped them to climb w bis knee and never grow impatient of their fondling, He never went a journey of fifty miles without bis wife if she was so situated that sue could go with tim, ‘This was not simply because it might gratily her, but also because her presence was a necessity to his happiness, And so she was with him in far Oregou when tho last stroke fell on nim, Such love wins love, and and it 1s not strange that the children who were thus welcomed when thoy caine camo olten, nor that his sons when they becume men still kissed him, and he them, a8 a coustant habit.
