In ac- cordance with the wishes of Mrs, Altgeld, there was no military display. For two hours In the morning, while the casket was unsealed, a steady stream of people viewed the body as It lay in state in the public library. Along the line of march from the library to Lincoln park the streets were crowded with men, women and children. The funeral procession, which started at 11 o'clock, was headed by a plateon of po- lice. The funeral car, with its escort of Active and honorary pallbearers, was fol- lowed by carriages containing the mem- bers of the family and after these came Governor Yates and his staff, members of the legislature, the Cook coumty judiciary, members of the county board, county offi- clals and city officials.

Among those from outside the state who attended the funeral was Willlam J. Bryan, who served as one of the honorary pall- bearers. At the grave, where several thousand people bad assembled Mr. Bryan paid the following tribute to Mr. Altgeld: “This occasion, sad as it is, would be infinitely more sad If we were committing to the earth all that there was of our departed friend. But the better part of him whom we know as Altgeld survives the grave. As the bird escaping from its cage, enters & larger world, so the influence of the de- teased 1s broadened rather than yarrowed by his death. He has proved how great are the possibilities under our institutions.

Windy and cold, with snow falling from thin clouds, Sunday was anything but ideal, although it was one typical of the month.

KITCHENER CIVES DETAILS London Learns Inner Facts Concérning Rout of Methuen. BIERS' METHODS AROUSE MUCH WRATH Thelr Use of British Uniforms and Condemned by the ~Troops Show Splendid Valor. LONDON, March 16.—~The War office has received the following communication from Lord Kitchener, at Pretoria: “Lord Methuen sent.me with & dictated dispatch, from which it ap- pears that certain particulars previously given, are inaccurate. The rear scréen of mounted troopé was rushed and over- whelmed at dawn. There was & gap of & mile between the ox and the mule con- voys. The mounted ‘supports to the rear of the screen, with General Methuén im- mediately reinforced by all the avallable mounted troops and a sectfon of the Thirty« eighth battery, maintained themselvés for an hour, during which the convoys were closing up without disorder. “In the meanwhile, two hundred infantry were being disposed by Lord Methuen to resist the Boer attack, which was outflank- ing the left of the rear guard. The Boers pressed that attack hard, and the mounted troops, attempting to fall back on the in- fantry got completely out of hand, earrylng away with them in the rout the bulk ot the mounted troops. Two guns of the Thir- ty-eighth battery were thus left umpro- tected, but continued in action until every man, with the exception of Lieutenant Nes- ham was killed. Lieutenant Nesham was called upon to surrender and upon refusing to do so was killed. Finds Himself Isolated “Lord Methuen with 200 of the Northum- berland Fusillers and two guns of the Fourth battery then found himself isolated, but held on for three hours. Durifig this period the remalning infantry, namely, ohe hundred of the Lancashires, with some forty mounted men, mostly Cape police, who had occupled the kraal near the wagohs, also continued to hold out against the repeated attacks of the Boers. “By this time Lord Methuen was Wounded and the casualties ‘were exceedingly heavy among his men. The ammunition was mostly expended, and the surrender was made about 9:30 in the morning. The party in the kraal still held out and did not give in until two guns and & pompom were brought to bear upon them at about 10 o'clock, making their position untenable. “It is confirmed that most of the Boers wore our uniforms. Many also wore our badges. Hven at close quarters they oould staff officer not be distinguished from our own men. “It is clear the infanmtry fought well and the artillery kept tp the traditions of their regiment. In addition to the forty mems Cape police already mentioned, par of imperial yeomanry and police continued to hold their ground after the panic had swept the bulk of the mounted troops off the fleld.” LONDON ANM_.._Y_Z_ES REVENUES Fi Plenty of Evidence that Boers Pei te Blockhouse Line with Ease. LONDON, Maréh 16.—Lord Kitchener's telegraphic dispatéh showing that the fight- ing lasted much lénger than was supposed confirms (e bellef Yhiat the diedster to Gen- eral Methuen's too large a gap between the front convoy and the rear, and to placing an insufcient screen behind the rear guard, which brought about a panic among the troops as a result of the Boer onslaug! Much resentment is felt here that the Boers wore Britlsh uniforms and ba but satisfaction is expressed at the latest reports of the affatr, indieating that the Britsh troops behaved better than supposed from the earlier reports. From other dispatches it appears that General Methuen wae shot while riding to bring up the mounted troops and that his horse was killed. After the surrender General Delarey rode up and treated Oen- eral Methuen with the greatest courtesy and consideration, ordering his réturn to Klerksdorp under the care of his own nephew and a medical officer. According to the Klerksdorp correspond- ent of the Dally Mail, the burghers were 80 angry at this that a party of them went out and brought General Methuen back. General Delarey, howeve overruled the objections of the burghers. The correspond- ent of the Datly Mail pays a tribute to Gen- eral Delarey’s huibanity and describés Mim &s a “brilliant fighter and a born leader, who brings no bitterness nor ractal feeling to his task, and who sternly represses ex- cesses on the part of the burghers.” Further evidence of the ability of the Boers to penétrate the blockhouse lines is coriveyed from Hellbrun, River Ol ony, which describes bhow Commandant Ments, the night of March 10, crossed the Hellbrun-Wolveheek Itne. One Boer ad- vanced, firing his rifie. Two pickets be- tween the blockbouses returned this fire and killed the Boer and his horse. The Boers then cut the wire femco and drove in a mob of loose horses, which knocked down 200 yards of the fence. Commandant Ments then dashed through with over 300 Boets and the pickets were powerless to stop the overwhelm! rush. It is reported here that Mr. Kruger has sent & messenger to South Africa with dis- patches for Geumeral Schalkburgher. Mem- bers of the entourage of Mr. Kruger assert that the Boers now possess eevebleen guns. BREACH OF CIVILIZED USAGE Sergeant Palsh with His Owa Hands ® Hoers Accused of Breaking Parole.

BOBSTON, March 16.—Yesaterday's confer- encés cleared the atmosphere of so many of the perplexing questions arising out of the great Industrial strike of the last week, and apparently rendered a peaceful termination so certain, that labormen and all who have figured in the movement wers about ready to secure relaxation, which bad been impossible the strike was inaugurated. Tonight, however, there are clouds on the Borison, and indications are mnot lacking that ,matters by no mieans are running smoothly. The strikers, particularly out- slde the longshoremen and team drivers, abe eatisfled with the outfook, as far as present conditions are concerned, but the other workmen seem to have grievances which baffle all attempts at a compromise. The longshoremen are most bitter toward the Metropolitan railroad line, which will take back only a few of the old men, and the Clyde Iline, which will not discharge the new men to give places to the old. They held a stormy meeting tonight, in which many bitter things were said of their for. mer employers. President Ryan of the Longshoremen's unlon, stated afteg the meeting that unless matters are adjusted soon they were pre- pired fo tie up the business of the com- pany along the seaboard. The situation is 80 strained tonight that D. J. O'Keete, been asked to come to Boston afid adjust the trouble. There are still 168 expressmen who have not yet been able to secure their old po- sitiofis, and this has aroused a strong feel- ihg against the compani OLBVELAND, March 16.—President D. J.

Scranton Effects Compromise. SCRANTON, Pa., March 16.—The Scran- ton Rallway company today posted a no- tice of a general advance in wages. Form- ¢erly the scale of wages was 14 to 19 cents an hour. The new scale is 17% to 19% cents an hour, the higher rate to be at- talnéd by two years' serv The strikers are demanding 20 cents an hour flat, but the belief prevails that the company’s offer will ond a long continued strike.

COMPLETES TARIFF REVISION Transcontinental Freight Burean Lengthy Meeting and Effects Detatled Adjustment. PORTLAND, Ore., March 16.—After a meeting, lasting through more than three w and a half, the transcontinental frelght bureau adjourned without de yes- terday. This was the longest meeting ever held by the bureau and its work Is more complete than ever before. Btill, its off- cets say, little was done that has any par- tleular significance in transtontinental tariff. A complete revision of tariff sheets has been effected and every item has been cleared from the docket, but the results of the meeting appear in a multitude of de- talls, rather than in important changes. “We have had @ long meeting of hard work,” s&id Chairman Countiss. “The mem- bers have completed the most thorough révision of transcontinentsl tariffs over made. They have cleaned up entirely the work that was before th and we start ot agaln with a per! clean te. The work done at this meeting consists almost entirely of adjustments of details, and bo idea of it can be had before the full tarift sheet shall be issued. All the ap- plications for adjustments have been before us have recelved due consideration and I think the conclusions reached will prove generally satisfactory.” WILL MINE ITS OWN COAL Missouri Pacific Holds Opti Lands Near Beverly and Leavenworth.
