7% - THE OMAHA DaAiLy BE STARTED 0 RIS LAST MARCH, | Tmpressive Funeral Service Over the Re- mains of General Sherman, CITY OF MOURNING. NEW YORK A The Sad Rites Conducted by the Son of the 'Dead Hero - Distinguished Mon Pay Their Tribute of Respect. Nrw York, Fob, 10.~New York is today paying every possible tribute of respectto the memory of General Sherman, The of his funeral day was bright and clear awn Ihe courts remained closed during tho day, the exchan closed at ncon, gen- eral business was brought mnearly to a stand still, and all who could do so ceased their daily ocoupations to do honor to the dead soldier, Atan early hour peoplo began to assemble 1n the strect opposite the residence of gencral Sherman, From almost every house along the street tho American flag floated at half- mast. There were a few visitors in the early hours of the morning, but ouly the most intimate friends and fow old soldicrs were admitted, and the latter wers obliged to show certificates that they had served in the army Rev, Thomas Sherman, tho son whose arrival was so anxiously awaited, reached the house at 1:30 this morning. — Just after taking an early breakfast this morning ~ with the family be took 8 last look at the remains of his father, A few minutes hefore 11 a large floral shield was received at the house from West Point cadets. The shield was six feet in height and four feet broad, und was made of white and blue immortelles and callu lilies. At11 o'clock Secretaries Blaine, Proctor and Rusk, Generals O'Bierne, Romer and Ewing a ed at the house. President Har- rison ‘will uot look upon the remains of the general, The family sent an invitation to him this morning, but the president kindly replied that ho preferred ‘0 keep with him the remembrance of the general whilealive, He did not wish to see him in death when their associations had been so warm and genial, At noon every doorstep alon street was erowded with inte sted spec tors and the windows were filled with expectant faces. About 13 @ caisson, draped in black and drawn by four horses, was drawn up in front of the Sherman residence, The horses were mounted by regulars aud an army officer was in charge. Behind the caisson was an orderly leading a black charger which boro tho military trappings of the gen- eral. A bluck velvet covering almost hid the horse from view, but the boots and saddle wero plainly conspicuous, The service and prayer began at noon and was over at 12:80. Prayers were read by Rev. Father Sherm close to the casket stood the other son, P. Sherman, In the front parior were all the other members of the famil Secreta Blaine and wife and Mrs, Damr Fathe Sherman was assisted by Rev, Father Tuylor and two other priests, Father Sherman, in conducting the simple services, read from tne scripture the pass- age beginning, *‘I am the resurrection and thelife.” After this two selections were sung from the oratorio of Elijah. Father Sherman again read the scriptures and the iserarl from endelssohn was given. Prayer was then offered by the son and the services were concluded with music, ‘There were about one hundred and fifty persons present at the services, the greater number, relatives, but among the friends ‘were Mrs, Grant and Senator Cameron, Before the arvival of the hour for the fun- eral procession to start, carriages containng prominent officials, both military and ci arrived at the house. Among the vi tors were George W, Childs, A, J. Drexel, Hiram Hitcheock, Chauncey M Depew, ex-Presidents Clevelana and Hay Joseph Choate, Rear Admi Braine, Gen- eral Schofield and vernors Patterson and Bulkely, with their staffs, The senate com- mittee cane in & body wearing the usual signs of mourning, and after them came alarge committe of the house. It was close on 2 ©'clock when President Harrison, with Lieu- tenant Ernst, his aide-de-camp, reached tho house. Long beforo the procession moved specta- tors began to take positions along the line of march. The decorations along the route were not €0 numerous or eclaborate as when General Grant was buried, but nevertheless they wero strikingly handsome and in great profusion. % Just about 2 o’clock a troop of the Sixth cavalry formed at the left of the house in the middle of thestreet. Six licutenants then appeared in the doorway, bearing on their shoulders the casket of the general, which they placed upon the waiting caisson. The meibers of the family, friends, invited oficials and pall bearers then took theiv places in carriages and followed, and the members of Lafayeite post, Grand Avmy of the Republic,” formed on cither side of the . caisson. The procession then commenced to move, but very slowly, as both sides of the streets were crowded with hundreds of carriages wuiting %o take their places in line, Along the line of March from start to flnish it was one grand crush, and walking in the streets traversed was almostan impossibility, It appeared s If overy rosidont of New York and tho surrounding citios had turned ot to &1z0 upon the the casket that contained the remains of the great general. Along the walls of Central park on Fifty-ninth street crowds of people were scated, and at the cir- clo where the column was to assume definite shape the sea of bobbing heads was simply fndescribable. Al along Fifth avenue a mass of peoplo lined the sidewalks, steps and windows and balconies on the thor oughfare were ocgupied untit after 6 o'clock, when the last of the dirge-playing bands went by The weathen was cold and _disagrecable, but there was no apparent diminuation in the numbers of the crowd until the very last, Grizzled old Grand Avmy men formed astrik- ing feature of the procession, Many of them walked on erutches, * The caisson, on which rested the body, was received everywhere with uncovered heads and where the crowd had been noisy it was instantly hushed, when the objest” of all this military display approached. In #ifth avenue, from Twenty-sccond to Fourtoenth, the ecrush of ~ people was s0 great that the mounted police had reat difficulty in clearing a passage. At Washington square all except the regular military ort were dismissed, The caisson with this escort was then turned into Broadway and down to Canal street, from which point the ferry was soon made. The gates were thrown open and the caisson driven aboard the boat, escorted by Lafayette post under General Viele, A fow minutes later the funeral party was aboard and the boat swung out into the stream, and the great funeral, the last tribute which the metropolis could puy, was over. When the boat” reached Jersey City an- other throag of thousands of peoplo was met, A large forcqof pohice and the Fourth regi. ment, national guard of New York, was drawn up between the ferry entrance and the north end of the depot, beyond which stood the special train, The military pre- sented arms, colors were lowered, the drum corps piayed o dirge and the church bells tolled us the caisson passed from the boat to the train, A guard of honor from the New Jersey national guard was on band to ac- ©company the remains through the state, The funeral train was made up of seven cars, 'The remains were conveyed in a com- bination car, The others were occupied by the guard of honor, congressional committees and the family. The combination car was festooned huu\'ll?' with black draperies, The other cars wore less elaborately draped.

In other words, finding it impossible to secure all we desired, I consented to accept all wo could get. Notwithstanding the fact that the bill we passed added mllions to the profits of the silver miners, many of my constituents, representing the large silver in- terests, thought proper to viciously and, 1 think unfairly, condemn my course. During this session of congress 1 have fe't con- strained to take tho position my people seemed to dictate to me, of asking for free | coinage or nothing, After three months of | carnest effort in this direction I think it has five been cloarly of action monstratod that on that san bo made toward line no tof this experienco nas been he silver commitioo and all tho repr tives 1 know of from tho silvor states, that nothing is to be gained in substanti ation by taking a stubborn, uncompromising position.
