[ A PART ONE. YEAR. CLARENCE'S FUNERAL. Much Uncertainty Exists Yet As to the Details of the Burial Services, INTERRED AT Remains of the Dead Duke Will Be Placed in the Albert Chapel, PLANS SUGGESTED FOR THE OBSEQUIES, TWENTY-FIR WILL BE WINDSOR, Routes For the Procession Through Lon- don From Sandringham to Windsor. HIGHp AND LOW ARE ALL IN MOURNING. Grief Oceasioned by the Death of the Heir Presumptive is Widespread—¢ to the Army and Navy—The Commercial Side, (Copyriyhted 1592 by Jumes Gordon Bennett.| Loxpoxy, Jan, 16,—[Naw York Herald Cable ~Special to Tne Bee.|—The duke of Clarenco will be buried Wednesday from St. (ieorge’s chapel, Windsor. There will prob. ably be a public military funcral—public that people may show their sympathy mili- tary because the duke was an aide-de-campe to the queen and majorof tho Tenth Hussars, Ihe Third City of London Riflos, of which corps tho duke was houorary colonel, had applied for leave to form a guard of honor at tho expected wedding. 1t has now applied for leave for a similar position at the funeral. It was mentioned at tho headquarters of tne corps as a singular coincidence that his royal highness diod on the same day of the year as his predecessor in the honorary colonelco— Lord Nanier of Magdale. everal ofticial bodies haves asked to be allowed to attend tho runeral. The House of TLords wiil be represented and, if the funeral is to be considered & public otie, the speaker of the House of Commons will be prasent. Ihe feeling in favor of & procession through 1.ondon is strong and probably the lord mayor and the president of the County Coun- ¢il may be called upon to give official expres- sion to it. Suggested Programs for Public Obsequics, T'wo proposals have been made informally. The first is the remains shail bo brought to St. Pancras and transported thenco on an open bier ulong KEuston road, Marylebono road and Praed street to Paddiugton station, whence the railway journey to Winds would be resumed. ‘I'ne other plan is that the body should be ronveyed by rail from Sandringham to Liver- pool street, and thence past St. Paul's through Legate hill, Fleet strest, the Strand and Pall Mall, psst Marlboro house, St. James street, Picadelly and Edgeware road. Whether the remains of the late prince ‘msx(‘u through London or vo taken direct to Vindsor, it has alr®dy become apparent that the day will be observed as a aay of national mourning. Itis expected that on their arrival at Wirdsor ;the remains of the duko will be placed in the beautiful Albert Memorial chapel, which will be converted into a chapelle nadente, and will uot be taken to St. George chapel until the morning of the day fixed for actual interment. If the ceremonial observed at the duke of Albany’s Tuncral be followed, the body of the decensed prince will be conveyea by tramn from Nor- folk to St. George's chapel and the inter- went will bo a stately and imposing function. At tho funeral of the queecn's youngest son the remains were met at the Windsor station on the Southwestern railway and conveyed upon a carriage to St. (icorge's chavel whither the were fol- lowed by the queen in her carriage, tho princes of the royal family walking near tho coffin us pall bearers. The burial service was read in St. George's chapel and the re- mains were lowerea-through an opening in tho chair to a subterranean passage and ro moved to the royal vault. There they re- mained for some time and were finally deposited in a marble sarcophagus at the west ead of Albert chapel. Mourning of the Court, No definiteinstructions have been received at any of thedepartments at Windsor Custle, but state apartments have been closed to public in_consequence af her majestys com- mands. The duke of Norfolk, earl marshal, s issued an order from the college under yosterday’s date in the quaint form of words used on these melancholy occasions: ‘It is expected thavall persons do put themselyes iuto mourning for three weeks, to commence this day.” Court.1s to wear full mourning until the 5th of Fobruary, and to go out of mourning on tho 2th of February. Krom the isth of January until the 26th of February uniformed ofticers of the army aro to wear a band of crepo around tho left arm, and a similar order has been issued to the ofticers of the royal navy and royal marines, London is mourning in more ways than one, Nearly all of the shops have mourning hoards. These are about eight inches wide, the same length as the shutters, and stained, not paiuted, black. The shonkeepers are in despairi The duke's death bas stopped the buviug of wedding presents, and six weeks of court mourning means the loss of a great deal of monoy, for the example of the court ‘will be followed by the multitude who are at their wits' ends to keep up appearances dur- 1ng the gay season and by the inner circle of what is termed the middie classes. Some surprise has bedh expressed that tho funeral should be delayed so long, but the representatives of foreign courts could not possibly arrive before that time. The duke's death will be the subject of nearly all ths sormons preached in Great Britaln tomor- row, Changes of Interest Oceurring in the Regu- lar Service Yesterda Wismiyaroy, D.

In most cases tho lettors aro made up of printed words cut from news- papers and pasted together. Detectives learned the name of a man who was said to know all about the matter. This individual said that & conspiracy had bean formed by six ezaloonkeepors to effectively silenco the preachier. Tho plan was to warn him by anonymous letters to abandou the crusado of take the consequences. If the warning was noot heeded he was to be ‘‘removed.”” I'ne names of saloonkeepers in the con- spiracy were given and it is expected that they will be arrested as soon as the infor- mer's story can be subseantiated.

C., Jan, 15 tomorrow will print an interview with Senor Montt, the Chilian minister, on the subject of the unfriendly feeling entertained by Chilians for Americans. *Is there a general unfriendly feeling against Americans in Chulif"” was asked Mr. Montt. “No, that is false,” he replied. “The oficers of the Baltimore themselve must say tho same. Their sailors had some trouble on the streets, to be sure, but that did not hinder, not many weeiss afterwards, the ofticers of the Baltimore giving a ball to Chilian peopie. Then theso oficers raised a hue and cry in this country over the insult Chili had offored their flag and uniform, that did not prevent them putting on their' very best uniforms and summing Chilian ladies and goentlemen to dance around their insulted flag on u warship belonging to their outraged government. 1 cannot think my peoplo realize the feeling that exists here, and you seo the impossibility of their gauging theiv acts accordingly Then you know the sailors of the Baltimore give ono testimony on which our courts in Chili base their action, ana when they back to the Uniied States they will give their testimony quite differeni. So what is to be donet” “But the sailors explain this difference in that they had to sign a paper in the Chilian courts without kuoiwving what was in it.

Any moasure bearing unon the iariff, as this is @ political question, which would pass the house of representatives would in all proba- bility fail in the senute, or if it should pass the senate would be vetoed by the president. A general vevision of tho tariff, therefore, by Wiis congress is utterly impossibie, The i rty in referenco bjectof doubt. atic Organ- Gave no T to tariff reform 1s scarcely What the democratic party wouid do if the Iaiv making power was in its control is woll kuown. It will be the duty of every demo- crat and tarifi reforuwer in the United States at tho ensuing election for president and 1 resedtatives in congress to use every effort 10 secure a democratic president and demo. cratic congress. 1f this 1ssue is kept steadily in view and is made paramouut to all others there can scarcely be any doubt of the result. 1n fact, upon this is issue success is already assured. Should Define Its Policy, “The quastionon which most concerns the democratic majority in tbo house of repre- sentatives, and the solution of which is cs- pecially imposeg upon the aemocratic mem- bers of the ways and means committee, is, what can be done during this session which willimprove our chances of success and, if possible, bring some iramediate relief to the people? It s my opinion, and I apeak for myself alone, that much good can be accom- plished by ‘the introduction and passage through tho house of separate bills having for their object the enlarging of the free list, tne securing of free raw material and the cheapening of many of the necessities of life to the great mass of the cousumers of tho country, Somethivg should be proposed also which would moro clearly define the position of the democratic party on the sub- ject of reciprocity. Our party 15 in favor of that kind of reciprocity which will bring reciprocal benefits, If free trade in some things with some countries or lower duties upon some articles of commerce 1s desirable, why rot extend the principle to all countries alike situated, and where important results may be anticipated. Iiwould favor the ad- mission into this country of all products of the soil and mines of Canada and Mexico and all products manufactured in either country from the products of such country or of the United Statos, or of wateriais which mignt be imported iutothe United States free of duty if similar products of the United States coula be admitted into these countries, All Genuine Tarift Reformers, 4T do not know what position will be taken on this subject by the committee of ways and means, or by tho house itself, but I am con- fident’ that some easure wiil be proposed which will be more in harmony with the views and policies of democrats generally thau that which is cortained in the MeKin ley act: nor can I state what measures gen erally will ce adopted by the committeo and reported to the houso for its consideration, Every member of the committee, in my judg- meant, earnestly desires to do that which will best promote the public weal. They are all genuine tarift reformers and wiil do that which they may deem to be best to promote eat reform. Thev may differ among themselves and with others upon methods, but there is uo difference among them, so far as I know, upon the great question which ardinal principle of democratic ail true democrats and tariff reformers that our motives may not be impugned and that oriticism upon our acts and upoa the meas- ures which we will bring forward will bo re- served until our work is done, and when it is finished I hope and believe it will recoive the approbation of the poople and bo ratified at the polls in Novemver next by the election of & democratic president and vice president and & congross,democratic in both branches," Mr. Breckinridge Talks, “The issues of 1500 were extravagance, usurpation of power in the house of repre. sentatives from el ons, and the republi- can idea of tariff. ou all of these propo- sitions we triumphed over our oppouents by a victory that will ever be remembered in our history.” ‘The speaker then referred to the elections of 1801, and declared that the only issue was the question of the tariff, aud though but stato officers were to be elected, the question of the tariff kept democratic success up to the high wark of the year bafoae, Continuing he said: “This, gentlemen, is the great issue before us now. To us this is acy of thoso elections, In ail things atic party must be a safe place of refuge for 1hose who want & moderate and good goverament, but the tarif is the one curreut' uaded, vital and presaying matter that deands immediate attention and Yoiviin. Mr, Bieckinrldge next referred to the de. pleted state of the United States treasury and made & comparisou between the revenues and the disbursements, sud showed that not yot been paid. Ho said: “Cientlomen, it 1s easler to deal witn a surplus thau it is ' to deal with a deficit Relative to the McKinley bill and the timo it had been in forco he said: “Our exports have exceodéd our imports; presumably an evidence of profit, by nearly §1:30,000,000, Yet the commercial failuros” for tho b twelve months are, roundly, §113,000 compared with $175,000,000 " for the niuch talked-of hard yoar before, and increase of 11t per cent, and for the same period the failures have increased 16 por cent Lays Tt All to the Tarvify, Tn conclusion ho “it under eondi tions excoptionally, phénomonally favorable, wo have theso resuits, what il be the condition of cur country with normal crops in E and normal crops and prices here! tis the plain remedy for all thist 1t 1s to radically reform the tariff, 1 urge you, geutlemon, to begin at ouce the most important operation of which you are capable. Bring all vour great powers into ceaseloss and sympathothic oxercise to mako the issue prominent and clear, to have it om- vhasized in congress and by the people, and 1 bolievo your efforts will veflect the most distinguished honor upou themselves, and that the result to our country will bo tho most benoficial that can be bestowed by the power of men." Harping on Siiver, Hon. M. D. Harter of Ohio spoke on the silver question. -His remarks were very emphatic and accompanied by tho historical facts, which made them additionally im- pressivo. M. Harter said that voluze was the least important factor in_any currency. 1f we keop our hard monaey where it should be and enforce absolute stability in it we can never have too little money, for then we ave able to draw as we need it from the worid's great stock. Unlimited coinage of silver vould contract the currency whilo at the o time it would dovaseit. he speaker said that the volume of money was increasing at a rate, including gold and silver, of botween £50,000,000 and §100,000,000 a yea I'ree coinage would canse a startling decrease. Tader the present system,' said M Harter, “Tno £12,000,000 to £15,000,000 of annual profit go into the public teasury. Freo coinage of silver is simply u trick of the sil- ver producer by which he hopes to transfor this huge annual sum from the vaults of the United States treasury into his own coffors,’ Ho declared that the free coinage of silver would defraud the mechanics, the farmors, the working people, and in short the rauk and filo of the country. “Itis proposed to the democratic purty to turn tuese people over to the tender mercies of the silver kings. Was ever tho proposition more mon- strous: We hoar the foolish c! that it is Wall street which would suffer by free coin- aga, How silly is this when we remember that tho profits of Wall street are ade by the fiuctuations of the market. Tho freo and unlimited coinage of silver would be a procla- mation to the sections of the country that need them most, that no more railvoads shall be built amony them, and that to enrich a handful of silver producers and schemers the entire south and west is to beset back a generation or two from thoir natural and certain fortunes. “I°ree coinage is surely & scheme (o) ning tho agriculturist out of any loose a portablo property which protection has left him. Iree coinage and protection ave synonvmous, and the former threatons to do moro harm to the public in twelve months than_ever such a monstrous iniguity as the MefKinley bill can probably do in twelve year Proclaim tho fact that with free silver in the national democratic platform or a freo silver bill in congress, passed by demo. cratic votes in_the house, we cannot hopo to carry New Hampshire, democratic Massa- chusetts, Rhode Island, Counnecticut, New York, Now Jersoy or Mavvland in 1862, and wo shall have iu support of our efforts for a souna currency the powerful influencs of every hesitating loader 1n the democratic party of the United States. With the memory of long years of wan aering in the politicall wildernoss, led by the ignus fatuus of incidental protection and the awful blunder of our 1apse into greenbackism just bonind us, the democratic party is in no humor to drop the cause of the whole peoplo in order to bccome the attornoy for the silver ring.” w. Talk, Congressman Warnor spoke on the taviff, He held that tho tariff was a tak, that it fell with greatost weight upori the laborer and agriculturist, and in conclusion said: *‘There is no reason why seif-supporting men should heed the shrill clamor of those who croak disaster. You will recall how when Couer de Leon escaped from his Austrian prison and the news came westward, to i kingdom, the people, devouring wourtie that stood about the usurper, Johu, turned pale and passed about the word, ‘“the devil is broken loose,”” but through the ieugth and breadth of England the same news was passed as a holiaay beuediction from village to viliage and church to church, until to the humblest subject it came in agitated eries, ““The king 1s coming again to his own,” and 50, in the genoral downfall of the protective system, which the obstinacy of its benefici aries is fast preparing, their startled cry, “The tree trade devil 15 broken loose,” will be lost in the glad answer of a re-onfran- hised nation.

Auother sywmptom \whia distresses the diplomats is the attempt whicl Austria is makiug to reconcile Italy aud the holy see. This move is due probably to thd Iimperor Wiliiam’s wish to remove the ex: isting friction butween tho two Roman pow! ers, which is America to the triple alliance The speech of Count IKalnoky proves tha the young German kaiser feels that as‘a Pyo testant monarch he can bardly interfere, nowever much he might desire to do so, be tween the vatican and a Catholi power, He has therofors induced his Austrian ally to act as an inter mods between the vatican and Italy. By this action he thinks to mako the tripld alliance t0ss distasteTul to Austrian Catho- lics, and to delight tho Catholic element i Germany. Ho also hopes to induce the hol see to use its influence on bohalf of thi triple alliance of which Mgr, Galimberti, thg papal nuncio at Vienna is a warm and re spected partisan whose opinion is much soughtafter in Romo.
