SIXTEENTH YEAR. TIE FUNERAL MARCH BECUY. The Remains of General Logan Removed Trom His Home to the Capitol, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN LINE altitude Pay Tribute to Memory of the Soldier The Last Orders Iesu A Mow the ning M Statesman Removing the RRemains, WasHINGTON, Dee. 0,.—At the Logan mansion all preparations for the removal of the dead statesman had been perfected dur- ing the night. ‘Theremains still lay in the chamber where the general died, but had been placed in a casket, an elaborately diaped receptacle whose plate glass top was designed to reveal the entire Tenath of the form within, A square silver plate In the widdle W cover bears the inseription 101N A LOGAN, UNITED STATES SENATOR, Born Feb, 9, 1520, Died Dec. Floral pillows with funeral crosses, anchors and other blems, were placed near the casket and about the room. At an early honr this morning Wworkmen were engaged 1 deaping the vast rotunda of the capitol in mourning erecting a bier upon whicli to rest the containing the remains of the dead sena Upon this bier had Tain Presidents Lincoln and Garfield, Chief Justice Chase and Repre sentative Thad Stevens. The eavy black drapery with which [t was covered was only used on one other oceasion, when it covered the bier on which President Lincoln laid in state. At11 o'clock the immediate family were sumnoned and for a biief time were left alone with ded. ‘Then the lids were tastened in folds of the garrison flag aranged about the easket and tied in place with white rinbons. White flowers and palm branches were placed on its top. 'The doors were then opened. and the widow, supported by her son, and followed by her daughter and lis- band, the grandson other relatives and near friends of the deceased to the number of fifteen or twenty, entered. Mrs.Logan knelt gobbing at the head of the casket and the voice of the pastor was raised in jrayer _which, when ended, was followed by a m ment of silence, broken only by the sobs of the stricken ones. Young Logan then raised the almost fainting form of Lis mother and led her aw With their deparinre ended the family ustody of the statesman’s remains. The congressional committee now took charge of the remains, which were removed Trom the chamber and placed in the learse, which was preceded by the pastor's earriage alone, Surrounded by platoons ot Grand Army men in uniforms, followed by a long procession of cartiages, the cortege moved slowly down the hill to the cavitol At 1:45 the procession from the house ar- rived at the eapitol, and the casket contain: ing the mortal remiains of (he dead ceneral was placed on the catafalque. Floral offerings inall conceivable designs, appropriate for the occaslon, were heaped on and around the bier. ‘The rotunda was then cleared while the gnard of honor prepared for the of visitors, At 2o'clock all were a itted, and now for twenty-four lhowrs the Y of John A. Loean will lie in state. “Thie funeral services will be held at marrow in the senate chamber, Sini vices haye been held in that room only twic = afore, the first occasion being the death of jce-Presidont Wilson, and last year when Senator Miller was carried thenee tohs in California. More satis! ceptance of I legends, appropriate em- tion is expressed over the ac- =coe Conkling to act vall- bearer at the funeral of Sepator Lozan to- morrow than any other feature of the ar- rangement. Knowing the nagements of Mr. Conkling and s disinelination to act in such capacity, the committec did not really expect to receive a favorable response from him, althouzh it is well known that the two wen were very firm friends. ‘Lhe response from Simon Cameron that he will be present if wenther will permit also gives great satls- etion. 1t is probable that Governor Ozlesby, of 1linois, will be put on the list of pall bearers to fill the place of ex-Secretary Lin- coln, who cannot be present. Some "repre- sentative volunteer soldier is spoken of for the place of Mr. Alger, of Michizan, who telegraphs thathe cannot be here at 12 o'cloc The funeral cortege escorting the remains of Senator Logan arrived at the eapital at 1:30 oplock, In accordance with the arrange- ments there was no serviees of any kind and the people present were requested to with draw until 2 o’clock when the Jid of the casket would be opened. When at 2 o'eloc floors wern in opened the lid of the casket Jad been removed. The military guards ot honor, fully unitormed and accoutred, stood at {at the head and foot and on either Kide of the easket, while the lines of Grand vy men were drawn up from door to door, Detween which thousands of people passed to view the remains, The following orders for the formation and conduet of the funeral proeession were made 10-day ¢ WasiiNGToN, Dee, 20.—Orders: ‘The marshal announces the following orders and arrangements for the formation and movements tor the funeral procession of the Jate Senator Johin A.

The Impression Prevalent That Ohurchill's Resignation Should Be Withdrawn, A NOTED PRECEDENT QUOTED. Lord Hartington Declines to Fnter the Cabinet of Action by the lans Under Discnssion Government, The Cabinet Crisis. [Copyright 1886 by James Gordon Bennett.y LoxDON, De New York Herald Cable-Special to e Bre]—1 found last evening on a visit to to the Cariton club the prevailing impression that Lord Randolph Churchill will return to the eabinet. ‘The Morning PPost seemns to state the mcthod of hiis return, for it begins by asking, “Is not some careful and conscientious attempt to bé nade to retain the valuable services of Lovd Randolph Churchill, both for the government and for the country? We only know in- formally the nature of the difference in ques- tion, vecause he 1s precluded from offering a vindieation until he can do soin parlia- ment. But, assummg that it is a question of tinance, he is anxious to ccono mize, while his colleagues clamor for large grants, \Weare unable to see why this dis- crepancy should convulse the government or lead the prime minister to despair of its con- tinued existence without extraneous help. If, in deference to his colleagues, the clian- cellor of the exchequer is content tinally with their estimafes, even though the result may cripple his proposed remission, sutely the present erisis mizht be brought to a satisfac- tory conclusion by his reinstatement i the cabinet.” Lord Hartington as endorsing this, dolph Churchill's resignation has not been formally accepted by ~the queen. There is a precedent for the resignation of & minister under the circumstances quite as peculiar as for his immediate resumption of oftice. In 1853 Lord Aberdeen’s government was preparing for war. On December 16 it was announced that Lord_Palmerston, home secretary, had resigned. The points of dif- ference between him and Lord Aberdeen were clauses of Lord John Russell’s reform bill. Pressure was put on Lords Palmerston and Aberdeen to resume their official rela- tions and on December 25 Lord Palmerston wentback to the home office. TIE SITUATION IN DETATL. LoxDoN, Dec. 80.—Hartington declines to become & member of the government. Right Hon. William lenry Smith, secretary of war, is to take Lord Randolph Churehill’s place as leader of the conservatives in the house of commons. lLord Hartington, Joseph Chamberlain and George Goschen had 1 conference to-day. They found themselves squally averse to joining any coalition cab- inet, and all three decided” to support the conseryative government. "Iie Marquis of Salisbury, after an inter- view with Lord Hartington ‘to-morrow, ~will hold an informal council for the purpose of rearrainging the cabinet. “There s not whisper about Sir Michael Hicks—Beach having resigned the offiee of chief secretary for 1sland, and it is certain that at the meet- ing of the cabinet on Tuesday the other min- jsters conenrred in his expressed decision to continue his present work, ~Lord Charles Beresford. one of the junior lords of the ad- miralty, is mentioned as the suocessor to Williamy Henry Smith in the war oftice. Otherwise the ministrv will remain, Lord Llartington's conference to-day with Chamberlain and Gosehen proved that the radical-whig alliance is unbroken. Chamber- Tain’s interview with Lord Hartinzton lasted 1wo hours. Both gentlemen expressed the opinion that it would be the wisest poliey to Taintain the liberal-untonist body asan inde- pent section. The refusal of Lord Harting- ton to enter the cabinet gratifies the tories who strongly objected to_an infusion of lib- eral blood in the ministry.
