HARRISON AT REST His Bedy Interred in Femily Lot in Orown Hill Cemetery. LAST SERVICES MARKED BY SIMPLICITY At Poth Ohurch and Grave Ceremonies Are Unostentatious OCCURS | INTERRUPTION Fire Truck Daches Through Crowd, Blook- | ing President's Way, GZAVE BEAUTIFIED BY MANY FLOWERS DISTRESSING m tous Clay gned to Ne erns and Covered Wrenthn from Denr Onews. with INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March n the center of a hollow square composed of fully 16,000 of his fellow citizens, the re. mains of Benjamin Harrison were this afternoon Interred In the family lot In Crown Hill cemetery. Close by the grave were the members of his family, President McKinloy and other visitors of distinction aud the more intimate friends of General Harrigon. Back a distance of fifty yards behind ropes, guarded zealously by a large force of poiice stood with uncovered heads a great multitude. . Of passionate grief there was little be- yond the members of his family, but the tribute of resp was universal It came from all alike; from those of his political faith and from those who differed with him coucerniug what is best for the na- tion's good; ftom men who have beon his Iitelong friends and from those who knew him merely by sight and to whom he never spoke. It came from women and children, from white and black, from all conditions and kinds of people. The weather, like that of yesterday. unsurpassable, with the warm breath spring in every breeze, and yet in the a touch of winter The services at the church and grave were simple In extreme, all in most excel- lent taste and like the proceedings yester- | day there was an utter absence of friction in everything that was done. All was well ordered and well performed From the ¥ ¢ to the Chureh. At the Harrison home before the remains were takes (o the First Presbyterian church, where the full funeral service was hela there were brief exercises for the members of the famlily and more Intimate friecds ot eneral Harrison. Possibly 150 persons | were present. Mrs. Harrison did not appear, but remained in her room until it was time to leave for the church. President McKinley, accompanied by Gov. ernor Durbin, called at the house about o'clock. Al about the sawe time came the miembers of Presldent Harrison's cabinet, and others continually arrived ugtil the whort services were over. The pedple sat in the parlors, filled the halls and a num. ber sat on the stairs while Dr. Haynes read a sbort passage from the scriptures and made & few remarks touching the life of General Harrison, as did Lir. Niecol of St Louis, and after a brief prayer by Dr Haynes the services were over. The florist’s wagon backed up to the front of the house and a few of tho larger pleces were loaded into the vehicle preparatory to being taken to the church. Word was then sent to Mrs. Harrison that the time haa come for the body to be removed to t church and she at once came down from her room Into the parlor. There was a few minutey of bustle, whispe rections by the undertaker and his assistants and a marshaling of the honorary pallbe rs into a column of twos. Muke Late Start, The procession was to have left the house at 1:30 o'clock, but it fully thirty min- uteg later than that when everything was in readiness. The doors we thrown wiue open and the honorary pallbearers, who were General Benjamin F. Tracy of New York, John Wanamaker of Philadelphia, W. H. H. Miller of Indianapolis, John W. Noble of St. Louls and Charles Foster ot fostoria, 0., General Lew Wallace of In. dianapolis, Judson Harmon of Cincinnat and Willlam A.

Mason, James Whitcomb Riley, Evans Woollen, Harry J. Milligan, Clifford Arrick, Willlam C. Bobbs, Harry S. New, Howard Cale, John T. Griiths, Newton B. Tarking ton, Hilton U. Brown and Samuel Reid. While the casket was being placed in the hearse, the houorary pallbearers stood to one side with bared heads. As soon as the hearse had moved from the front of the house the carrlages came up rapidly and the family and visitors entered them. The undertaker and hls assistants held a list of the occupants of each carriage as it #hould go In the procession, and as quickly a8 A carriage stopped the people to whom it belonged were ushered in and it moved down the street to take Its place In' the procession.

The streets were kept entirely clear by a detachment of police and company of the Second infantry, eommanded by Captain Porter, Sentries potrolled the street just outside the curb and nobody unable to produce a card. en- titling the holder to admission to the church was permitted to step off the walk Fire Truck Dashes Throumh, While the carrlages were discharging thelr inmates at the door of the church the wild clanging of a fire cngine BONg was heard and down the street at top speed 1o to com way thousand people | E OMAHA DAILY BEE.

Although many of the ministers of the powers object to his political methods, and regard him as a “trimmer,’ nevertheless they regard him as the best possible man to represent China In the present emergency.’ Orders have received by States troops to depart next month, lea ing behind only 150 Infantry. The German hendquarters staff assert that these instrue tions are “a great mistake,” alleging that it I8 necessary to retain a large body of forelgn in the country for at least two years.

They will be taught als the value of dairy cows among fam illes, butter and cheese making, the forage plants most economically produced for Hu wallan consumption and the value of poor families raising chickens and pigs. This agricultural miesionary work in the interest of the common people of the isl ands will be essayed before other agricul tural problems will be considered. There are ) acres, running from the coast to the top of a mountain, apart by the Hawalian legislature for this purpost These matters will be given attention near the const, coffee raising will be studied on the higher elevations and forestry work will be done on the mountain tops. Regarding agricultural experiment work in the Philippines, Secretary Wilson saia today “Congress will not appropriate money for experimenting in the Phillppines untit the people there have quieted down. Then the Department of Agriculture will he ready to conduct researches; in fact, the green houses of the department here now have plants growing for shipment there as soon as conditions are ripe. Among these is rubber, seeds of which are being brought from all parts of the world for to now ican flag.” REPUBLICS GLAD TO CONFER nand Central the Invi- Many of South Acy Ameri WASHINGTON, March 17 have now been received from practically all of the South and Central American re- publics accepting the invitation to partici- pate In the conference of American repub- lics which is to be beld in the City of Mex- ico next October. The preliminary work of the congress has been directed from Washington, as the United States government has taken great interest in the meeting and has had the co- operation here of the representatives of the South American countries. Several of the republics already either have chosen their delegates or have names under considera- tion. The Guatemalsn minister in Wask- ington, Mr. Lazo Arriaga, hes been desig- nated by his government to represent it, but he has not yet determined whether he will accept the mission. It is understo 4 that the Brazilian delegates have been chosen and that the names of (hose whe will represent Chili are selected, condi- tional upon the extent of participation which they will have in the congress. The personnel of the delegation from (he United States is beginning to attract atten- tion and in South American circles there is an earnest desire that at least one of the delegate from this country shall sustain some official relation to the State depart ment. In the former congress held in Wash- ington Mr. Blaine was a conspicuous figure, and the southern republics are desirious that there be like prominence at the coming congress. Some Suggested Names. Little attention has yet been kiven to ihe consideration of particular names, yet among those informally mentioned are As- sistant Secretary of State Hill, Director Rockhlll of the Bureau of American Repub- lies, and John Basset Moore, who was as- sistant secretary of state during Judge Day's administration of the State depart- ment. Mr. Moore’s name has come up In connection with the research he has made on the subject of arbitration, which prom- ises to be one of fthe most interesting themes before the congress. The South American republics have shown a strong inclination towards arbitration in the settlement of their frequent houndary difculties and there is a tendency to adopt Lesponses universally, to avold border conflicts and their menace of war. Some of those inter- ested in the congress have hoped to see | Uring results similar to The Hague confer- ence, with a permanent court of urbitration for the western republies, like ihat at The Hague for international conflicts in which the countries in Europe and the United States might be involved. None of the south- ern republics was represented at The Hague conterence. Keen for Arbitration, The sentiment for arbitration was strong In the last South American congress and in the recent congress at Madrid it again took form. At the same time it has been un- derstood that Chili might not desire to par- | ticipate if the subject was to be discussed in such form as to involve the pending con- troversy between Chili, Peru and ol In signitying her purpose to accept, the Chillan authorities said, in substance, that it would be conditional upon the discussion of no topics which would Mmvolve pending questions in which that country was con cerned. From this it has been Inferred that the particular question desired to bhe eliminated s that now in sharp dispute be- tween Chili and Peru. On the other hand, | Peru looks forward quite confidently to this | congress as a means of presenting her vicw of this long-pending conflict But in any event, it s not expected that a subject of the magnitude of arbitration can be entirely eliminated from a congress of this characier Besldes this tople, it is expected that th, cong 8 will deal with commercial \Yairs of interest to this country and the o'her republics, developing means for thorough co-operation and mutual expansion of tri de. some extent also the gathering il havn a broad political aspect, indicating the fra- | ternity which exists among the republics of the western hemisphere.

CORNED BEEF REALLY NEEDED Germany's 1 [3 portation Works Poorer Cla ¥ to the rhldding s 1 Hardship on en There, WASHINGTON, March 17.—The German meat inspection law, absolutely prohibiting the importation of American corned beef, sausages, etc., which went into effect some time ago, has made no friends, according to a report recelved at the State department from United States Consul Diederich at Bremen. The law has been the object of very severe criticism in Germany, accord- Ing to the consul, and one of the most pointed arguments against it has heen thal it defeats its avowed purpose public health, because the resultant high prices on meat lessen its consumption while the health of the German natlon de- mands an increase. The fact that the meat inspection law has put the prices up is a well established fact, according to Consul Diederich, and especially among the labor- ing classes is the loss of American corned beef at a low figure most strongly felt MR.
