GRAND OLD ABBEY MORE THAN CROWDED. Archdeacon Farrar Ovorcomo with Emotion, Covers His Faco und Weeps. BRITISH IDEAS OF THE DECEASED. Remembered for His Firmness in Political Discussions and Pro- nounced Fidelity to His Beloved Countr Merits a Statu (Copuright 1591 by James Gordon Bennstt.\ Losvoy, Aug. 15.- [New York Herald Cable -Special to Tur Bre|—After telling 10 that in bis opinion James Russell Lowell was of high enough rank to justify a statue bust in Westminister Abbey, Archdeacon Farrar organized o grand memorial service which oceurred today. Tho grand old abby Y was thronge with American and English admirers of the poet. Though by mistake the London papers announced the service for tomorrow, Minis- ter Lincoln with his family and the entire Awmerican legation sat in the place of honor, the great choir sang * with the Lord.” When Archdeacon F entored the pulpit he seemed overcome by emotions and he covered his face with his hands for long time. He was ono of Mr. Lowel dearest friends. After his oration the entire audience roso and remained standing while 'he Dead March in Suul” was played on the orzan. As —thie grand hurmony rolled through the transcept, among the tombs of dead Kings, stirving the tattered banners of knights, and filling the poetsjcorner, where Lowell himself once made the echoes ring, Farrar's cyes filled with tears. During his nobls that Lowell was a patriot from the pilgrim fathers nd warmly attached to the land of his birth. He had #lmost made a second home of Eungland, whereas in America he was deeply beloved. His, thercfore, was one of those blessed in- flucnces which bind England and America, He helped to remmnd the two na- tions, the children of ancient mon- archy and of the mighty republic, tbat the same blood runs in thewr veins; that we are one in the memories of the past and in the hopes of the future; that we both speak the tongue of Shakespeare, both hold the faith and morals of Milton, both meant to Le great pioneers marching side by side in the very vanguard of chri tian civilization and human progress. Lowell a Humorist and Politician, He was moreover a humoristand politician, He did not, indeed, plunge personally into the turbid stream of volitical life, but often those who sway politics are incomparavly more powerful than professional ralers and politicions. Great thinkers are to working politics as voices are to ecnoes, burning sunbeams to mere reflections. It is they who create that public opinion which, as Landor says of Shakespeare, “the opaluces ponetrate the graves precedes the Nchariot of Almighty God and is heard at the judgment seat.” Lowell, like all true patri- ots, knew and valued the glory and dignity ar he said descended specch of man as won in the almost bois- rous fun of Bigelow papers. We must not forget that ho wus the only American who attempted to laugh down as well as fight down the propogandists of slavery and the opprossors of the slave, “thic ouly man who pierces the hypocrac vulgarity and sellish groed through and through with shafts of radiant ridiculo as well us with shafts of dawn. [ dwell on his poctry bocause it is as a poot he wil chiefly tive and because like all true poots ho took his noble stand for love and merey against the cruel and self-de- ceiving sophistries of oppression. “Mr. Lowell receives in this abbey today the testimony of eminence which is accerded only to the carth’s greatest and best. Ho has sorved his country, ho has benefitod his race, he has welded one more golden link in the awmity of kimdred nations, but above all this, more than all this, he has set a high example to his fellow men of pure aims, manly di nity, faithful friendship, honorablo service. By his writiugs he has left ardor to virtue, confidence to . truth. This the highest praiso which is given our fecbleness to win, Among those present were Premier Field fng of Nova Scotia, with a large number of prominent Nova Scotians. Minister Lincoln was greatly touched that Archdeacon Farvar should be the frst England to utter a public culogy of i.owell, as he was first to honor General Grant, In view of the great multitude that will attend Westminister Abbey tomorrow be- cause of the mistake in the announcement of Toany s memorial service, Archdeacon Farrar will have the dead murch played again and the funeral chiorus sung. e is Dullness in London Of wil dull places in the world London ecan be the dullest when she wants to, and just now tho metropolis Is surpassing horself.

Archdeacon Farrar, in the av- sence of Dewn Bradley, will g a service in Westminster abbey to morrow afternoon of as much of a memorial character as possible. A dirge will be played and the one of Mr. Lowells warmest friends will honor his memory ina short address. It was intended to have a tuneral anthem sung in the abbey today but the arrangements could noy be made in time. The British press is vinglng with praises of Lowell. No Awmerican author ever received such warin- hearted eulog In fact, of tho bimer crit- icisms that v directed against him when minister to London on the ground that he had turned his back on Americans, it is curions to hear Englishmen saying today that of all American representatives in London Mr. Lowell was the most dangerous person to tacklo adversely to America.

Royalty Proves No Obsteuction in the Way of the Investigation of the Disrey table Methods of Old. [Copyright 1891 by James Losnoy, Aug. 15.—(New York Herald Cable— Special to Tne Bre—One by one the old legacios of the corrupt days of tha nglish government are disappearing. When George I was king, nearly all the members of parlinment expocted to have valuable oftices or sinecures conforred upon them and very few were disappoiuted one and some got five or six. A little earlior in history the custom wes to reward obsequious followers or the children of kings mistrosses with porpetual pensions. Many of them have been paid down to our own day. o one of these it has been my lot to calk atteantion of the house of commons on sev- ul oceasions during the last fow vears, and a very considerable body of has been evoked against it complete facts wero brought fore the purlinmentary commitice of which he was a member. Sir Reginald Weiby, the chiof oficial of the treasury, was under ex- amination at the same time. I reply to my questions ho gave tho oftic an in disputable account of the affair, though cautiously and unwillingly. The dukes of St. Albans are descended from Nell Gwynu. Charles 11 not only be- stowed a title upon Nell's son, but gave him tho office of mastor of hawks with a salary of about £2,000 a year. There was a proviss don Rennett,] Some got only th [ public opmnion Iu cousequenca out by me bes 100 for buying hawks, supplying them with pigeons for food, employing falcons ers and so forth and the charges were actually being puid down to this very week. I asked S Rewinald Welby whether any hawks were kept thera or pigeons bought for their sustenance, and he reptied he “bulieved' not, but the present Duke St. Albans bas not hesitated to draw the money by quarterly payments and I took the liberty of denouncing it in the house of commons asa case of barefaced blackmailing and fraud, vy vy v oty ULIVIGLS B)rp horrified at my plain way of speakiug but the house of commons gave expression to its very decided approval aud hence it was that I brought it home to the treasury people that this pension must come to an end. Must e Paid korever, But Sir Reginald Welby in- formed me in that so far as he was concerned it would have to be paid forever and ever. Parliament, however, can do anything, and it became perfectly clear that parliament meant to tackle this bequest of the merry monarch to one of his il- legitimate children, Since parlinment rose last week arrangements huve been made with Duke St Albaus by which he is to receive au annuity of £7,000 & year for ten yoars and thon ull payments arg to cease. Of course this is better than going on paying the pension forever, butit is a most extravagant settlement in my ovivion, Tha duke is not morally entitled to claim a singla shilling of the nation, and yev he is to receive £20,000. 1f parlinment were in sos- sion 1 should feel it my duty to ask for its opinion on the question men who fought at Lucknow. Belaklava and Inderman ar to work here or sturv The Duke St. Albans can still draw £40 ver weels for feeding hawks which have no istence. We have rendored all future jobs of this kind quite fmpossible by a resolution of the house of commons, proposea by tho late Bradiaugh and seconded by me, forbids ding perpetual peasions to be conferred under any pretext what allowed to go on a shilling a day. Several of these pensions still remain, but they were given for wmilitary or naval ser vices, and thereforo the nation does not object to them. There is one of £2,000 & rto the descendunts of Lowe Nelson, Until u few yoars ago a pension of £4,000 a year was paid to the descendants of William Penn not for work i Peunsylvania, but for some supposed losses he had sus- tained for which the English govern ment was believed owo ration, AS 10 one ever knew Pents’ descends auts were it cannot be said that the troasury behaved in s niggardly manver. Such buleyon days of pension managoers will return no more, It is still possivle, nowever, for twansactions of this nature to be conducted under cov to who Under Another Namp, If & gentlomun is moved out of the gov- erument office because the place s wanted for somobody else ho must be componsated and a large pension sottled upon him for life, which perhaps represents £10,- 000 cash, but Lhose oporations huve now to he conducted with ereat secrecy and care. No government could afford to be openly mixed up with them.
