THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1895. LLPAY DUE HOMAGE| Remains of Secretary Gresham Borne to Chicago AND LAID IN A VAULT. Men of Every Rank Testify to the Worth of the Late Premier. SIMPLE SERVICES ARE HELD. Squadrons of the Famous Fighting Seventh Join In Sounding ‘““Taps.” CHICAGO, IrL.,, May 30.—The remains of Walter Q. Gresham were laid in the vault in Oakwood Cemetery this after- noon, there to remain until the members of his family have decided upon a place of final interment, either in Oakwood? or in some other cemetery in Chicago. General Gresham loved Chicago and it loved him. ’ Never in the city’s history, save the day when the dead body of Abraham Lincoln ied through its streets, has Chi- ed so fully her grief at the death one man. The streets through of any which the funeral cortege passed and the cemetery were packed with a crowd so dense that they could be packed no closer. For hours before the time set for the ar- rival of the funeral train thousands of peo- e stood waiting in the sun, which beat on them with tropical fervor. As e passed slowly along every head covered in respect to the illustrious ing the short services before hally placed in the vault for the distance of several nd the vault was filled bich stood without a sound ntil the rites were finished. The hands which bore his lifeless form from the car in which it had come from ‘ashington were the hands of men who marched and fought with him in years by—the men of the Loyal Legion. n who walked before the casket as pall-bearers were men who had him when he graced the Federal upheld the Nation’s law with the same frank and fearless spirit in which d upheld its honor on the battle-field. by the door of the open vault ver Cleveland, the man who holds st office in the gift of the Ameri- can people; and there stood other men— he old Grand Army—whose hearts were 11l of love and the spirit of brotherhood $:f Walter Q. Gresham, because he as well as they had in thedark daysof the Na- ife held firm his faith and kept pace a full free step to the music of the on. At one side of the vault were drawn up squadrons of the famous “fighting” Seventh Cavalry and in the background were the dark blue of the Fifteenth In- fantry. They stood motionless at present arws, and when the last of the commit- ment services was over the buglers of the Seventh stepped forward, raised their bugles and in clear notes sounded “taps.” No other military honors were given, and the tributes to which the exalted rank and eminent services of the dead man 50 justly entitled to him were, at the wish of his family, dispensed with. In fact none were needed for the fame of the man- 1y man who had shone as a soldier, a jurist and cabinet minister is secure with the people who loved him so well. It was a most remarkable juxtaposition. In the earlier hours of the day the Federals and Confederates had joined inunveiling a monument to 6000 soldiers who had died in the military prison at Camp Douglass. The ex-Confederates’ Association had strewn upon the graves of Union soldiers flowers brought from the very ground ovar which these two had fought less than a generation ago. The Union veterans had placed upon the graves of their fallen comrades in other cemeteries about this city flowers which grow in our own latitude. Aimost while the echoes of the voliey fired over the Confederate burying ground by the First Regiment State militia were still sounding, the cortege of the dead Secretary of State filed into the cemetery. Beyond the gen- eral outlines the funeral arrangements were not completed till within an hour of the time set for carrying them into execu- tion. The following were honorary pallbearers: William A. Woods, James G. Jenkins, John W. S8howalter, Judges of the United States Circuit Court; Romanzo Bunn,Wil- liam J. Allen, William H. Seaman, Judges of the United States District Court; Henry 'W. Blodget, retired Judge of the United States District Court; W. C. Ewing, Rich- ard S. Tuthill, Judges of the Circnit Court; Marshall Field, J. Russell Jones, Thomas Dent, Edwin Walker, Charles H. Aldrich, General William B. Anderson, Captain William P. Black, General George W. Smith, James L. High. The following were active pallbearers: ' General William Smith, Charles H. Slack, Captain James Duguid, Captain Myron H. Beach, Captain Herman B. Jackson, A Colonel William L. Barnes, General John McArthur, Major George L. Paddock, Cap- tain Nathan A. Reid, Colonel Lemuel O. Goldman, Colonel George M. Guion and Captain James H. Bell. At Fordham, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the special funeral train was switched to the tracks of the Illinois Cen- tral, arriving at Sixty-third street station at 2 p. M. There the procession was formed, headed by an escort of honor consisting of troops from Fort Sheridan. These were followed by the honorary pallbearers and next came the funeral car with the active pallbearers walking on either side. Next rode the members of the late Secretary’s family and the Presi- dential party. The rear cortege was brought up by the members of the Loyal Legion, G. A. R. veterans, Judges of the State and municipal officers, civic societies and citizens. ¢ Vice-President Stevenson,ex-Postmaster- General Bissell and Governor Matthews of Indiana met the funeral train on its arrival, and were assigned places in a car- riage. Major-General Wesley Merritt, while not assuming command of the mili- g tary, was in attendance in full uniform, accompanied by his staff. Lieutenant- General John M. Schofield, U. S. A., was accompanied by Lieutenant - Colonel Charles B. Schofield and Lieutenant-Colo- & nel A. H. T. Bliss of his personal staff. The entire line of march was crowded with people, who respectfully bowed their heads as the cortege passed. Having ar- rived at the cemetery chapel, the casket wasremoved from the funeral car and borne services, conduneted by Rev. S. K. MecPher- son, were impressive but simple, consist- ing merely of scriptural readings, hymns by the choir and prayer. At the conclusion the remains were temporarily deposited in the receiving vault of the cemetery. No salute was fired. The ceremonies were concluded with “taps.” The train had been held at Sixty-thira street and the Presidential party returned to it and at once started on the return trip to Washington. The day was fine. Secretary Morton and Secretary Carlisle did not return with the President, but will remain in the city until Saturday. Both are at the homes of sons living here. The train bearing the Presidential party arrived at Woodlawn Station at 2:05, and started on the return trip at 3:45 o’clock. NOT A CANDIDATE. Either Teller or Cameron Would Be Ac- ceptable o Him. PUEBLO, Coro., May 30.—Hon. Joseph C. Sibley of Pennsylvania and General A, J. Warner of Ohio addressed a large and enthusiastic audience to-night on the silver question. Both advocated the nomination in 1896 of a free-silver candidate, regardless of party. Either Teller or Cameron would be acceptable. Mr. Sibley stated very em- phatically that he is not a candidate for the nomination. He left for home to-night. General and Mrs. Warner go to Denver in the morning and thence to their home. SIBLEY - CUT 4 WIDE SWATH. Devastation Left in the Path of a Nebraska Cyclone. OMAHA, Nepr., May 30.—A special to the Bee from Chapman, Nebr., says: A cyclone one mile wide struck near here to- day and demolished everything in its path. The home of A. Bailor was blown to pieces, fatally injuring Mrs. Bailor and two children. The clothes of the other two children were literally torn from their bodies by the force of the wind. Many other buildings were damaged. TRIES T0 END HER LIFE, Mabel Benson Bellew Cuts Her Throat With a Razor. The Actress Leaves a Letter Saying Her Life Has Been Wasted. CHICAGO, Irv., May 30.—Mrs. J. Hack- ett Townsend, better known as Mabel Ben- son Bellew, actress and authoress, at- tempted to end her life to-night. With a razor she slashed her throat and was found unconscious lying across the bed in her room. Near by lay a letter in which she said: “Ido pray that God will look upon me in my last hour and hear my prayer. From what I heard the other night at the mission I see my life;has been wasted. I know the responsibility of parents. I regret that I had not a praying father or mother.” She was removed to a hospital and will probably die. officer who spent all her money and then attempted to cut her throat. Her voice was ruined and she was compelled to leave the stage. gt e MADE A FATAL MISTAKE. Deputy Sheriffs Fire Upon Each Other in the Dark. LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 30.—A special to the Times from Little Rock, Ark., says: Passengers reaching here this morning from Monroe, La., bring particulars of a fatal mistake made by Deputy Sheriffs Ed Edwards and Willis Baxter, near that place lastnight. The officers were sent out on the line of the Little Rock and Mobroe Railroad to apprehend a man named Hugh Abrams, who nad been shooting into pas- senger trains in the outskirts of the city, and they separated in order to capture Abrams. Tk 7y met in the dark and mis- took each other for the culprit and opened fire. Edwards dropped dead in his tracks and Baxter received a fatal wound. e FLOODED BY A CLOUDBURST. Death and Destruction in Valleys of Texas. DALLAS, Tex., May 30.—A special to the News from San Angelo, Tex., tells of a disastrous cloudburst which occurred yes- tesday along the Johnson and Devil rivers. Five bodies have been recovered from “draws’’ which were flooded by the cloud- burst and it is feared that a numberof set- tlers in the valleys of the two rivers have perished. Searchers have been unable to reach several large ranches in that section. The ‘“draws,” which have water in them only a short time after rains, were deluged, the waters of Devils River rushing down in a series of waves. EXPLOSION ON A GUNBOAT. The Commander and Fourteen Others Are Killed Instantly. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 3i.—A special to the Herald from Guayaquil, Ecuador, says: The boiler of the Ecuadoran gunboat Sucre exploded last night, killing the com- mander and fourteen men and injuring seventeen more, thirteen fatally. At the time of the accident she was carrying troops to Machala to attack the rebels. B N ) THREE NEGROES PUT TO DEATH. 4And a Fourth Beaten and Ordered to Leave. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 30.—A special from Bartow, Fla., says: Mrs. Timberlake, a young widow who lives with her father in the western part of this county, was assaulted Tuesday. Four negroes who were suspected of having knowledge of the crime were arrested and last night they were taken from their guard by a mob. Three of the negroes were put to death and the fourth almost beaten to death and ordered to leave the country. s One Cannon’s Bloody Record. WICHITA, Kaxss., May 30.—While firing a salute over the graves of the veteran dead to-day one of the cannon of Battery A, Kansas National Guard, exploded prematurely and shot off the arms of Pri- vate Joseph Fennell. He will die. This is the fifth man who has been butchered by this gun, which was condemned by the Government at,the war. 4 resh el Clubbed to Death by Jailors. HENDERSON, Ky., May 30.—John ‘Wanagan, colored, a county jail prisoner who is supposed to have been the leader in a plot to break jail, was clubbed to death to-day by Jailer Kohl and Deputy Jailer Whitehead. The negro began the attack and fought like a fiend until the life was beaten out of him with billies. A coroner’s jury acquitted the jailes. iy Shot His Wife in the Head.

NEW CABINET TO BE FORMED. Decided Determination on the Part of the Government to Protect Forelgners. TOKIO, Jarax, May 15 via Victoria, B. C., May 3 -An imperial proclamation, dated May 10, but not published till May 13, at la: ves the people of Japan an in- sight into the true position of affairs, and enables them to open investigations on their own account, the eagerness and en- ergy of which will presently bring all hid- den facts to light. Criticism can never be directed against an edict issued in the sov- ereign’s name, but events which the docu- ment records may be considered apart from the recital in particular form, and will be discussed with a view to ascertain- ing the exact responsibility of the leading Ministers of State, and with the purpose of holding them to strict account for occcur- rences which are pronounced dishonorable to the dignity and prestige of the nation. There can be no mistaking the depth and intensity of the popular feeling. The angry excitement of the multitude recalls the experience of six years ago, when the nation showed for the first time in its modern history what it was capable of in an excess of blind passion. In the sum- mer of 1899 Count Okuma as Minister of Foreign Affairs was the idol of the com- munity. He was supposed to have settled the vexed question of treaty revision on terms advantageous to the empire and was hanored accordingly. In the autumn of the same year his countrymen fancied that they had detected a flaw in his nego- tiations by which the national indepen- dence was endangered and they turned upon him with such fury as to overthrow his administration. While the agitation was at its height Count Okuma was at- tacked by an assassin of the stamp of the fanatic who shot Li Hung Chang, and was crippled for life, Yet the accusation then leveled against the Ministry of which Okuma was the leading spirit was as nothing compared with the arraignment which awaits Count Ito’s Cabinet. The ground of offense in Okuma’s case was that he had proposed to introduce foreign Judges for a limited period into the highest Japanese tribunals. Ito will be charged with treachery, cow- ardice and connivance in the disgrace of the empire. His manifold services to the State and his industrious labors through- out the war will be wholly lost sight of and nething remembered but his failure to assert the territorial claims of Japan in defiance of the peremptory commands of the three great European powers. The conclusion drawn by all who know tne position of affairsis that, inasmuch as the administration of 1889 was thrown out in consequence of an indiscretion which the people exaggerated into a crime, the pres- ent Ministry is a hundred times more surely doomed, since the allegations will, in this case, be infinitely harsher and severer. It is the expectation of the whole official class that the Prime Minister will resign his office before the various political organ- izations have time to consolidate against him. The recognition by intelligent men of the power of the people to shape the destinies of the administration is one of the most singular social developments of modern Japan. Fifty years ago the coun- try was ruled by an aristocracy, which took no more heed of the populace than if the latter had been animals. Twenty-five years ago, when the control of the Gov- ernment passed into the hands of an oli- garchy, the masses were still considered as having no voice in the state. But the attempt to introduce democratic institu- tions has been followed by results which advocates of the constitutional system ‘never anticipated. The people have not only taken what was offered them, but have grasped at infinitely more, until now, in extremity, they find themselves en- dowed with strength to destroy Ministries if such is their pleasure. It has always been said by a certain number of con- servatives that the encroachments of the multitude could be kept in check by a firm and resolute Government, but since the establishment of Parliament no Cabinet has ventured to oppose the popular will by force. The present Cabi- net is least of all lirely to take so vigorous astand. Itdoes not now appear that the abandonment of the Manchurian territory will be lamented by the Japanese for any length of time. After the first fit of irrita- tion is over they will probably realize that the possession of Shing King province would have been a pecuniary burden and the cause of permanent anxiety. ‘What they cannot forgive is the alleged negligence of the Government in failing to ascertain in advance whether the acquisi- tion could or could not be retained. They entirely overlook the efforts which un- questionably were made to elicit the views of European powers, because these efforts were unsuccessful. They furthermore aver that the Ministry failed to maintain the dignity of the nation throughout the negotiations with Russia, France and Ger- many. First, by yielding prematurely when much might have been gained by prolonged diplomatic endeavors to bet- ter the situation; next, by tendering a proposal which was sure to be rejected by the Ileague and which had to be followed by additional humiliation, and finally by accepting de- feat without striving to secure alternative advantages that should compensate for the inevitable sacrifice. The fact that they are as yet totally ignorant of the circum- stances under which the Ministers were constrained to act, does not in the least deter the angry critics from lavishing in- vectives upon every one supposed to be ac- countable for what they call the betrayal of the nation. One of their bitterest grounds of complaint indeed is the igno- rance in which they were kept from be- ginning to end. It is quite true that very extreme measures were adopted to prevent the dissemination of news by the press. During the period of mystery no less than forty-five journals were suspended for at- tempting to throw light on the forbidden subject. Some of these were friendly to the administration and one was an official organ. E‘he authorities declare that but for | tak these precautions disorderly parts’ of the community might have been incited to reckless demonstrations and acts of vio- lence against prominent representatives of the three allied countries, and that it was their duty to use every agency at their command to prevent dangers of this de- scription. There is no denying that many of the newspapers in Japan can put in any amount of mischief if allowed to have their way. 2 The Government is evidently in earn- est in its determination to insure the safety of foreigners—not only those who may be objects of popular dislike, but the entire body of aliens. The police are constantly on the alert, and if their exer- tions should not prove sufficient for every emergency other resources would be in- voked. The precautions are probably in excess of what is really needful. A fren- zied fanatic may cause trouble by fancying himselt divinely commissioned to repair his country’s wrongs; but from the people at large no ill treatment of strangers is to be apprehended. The trial of the Korean Prince Yi Chung, favorite grandson of the Tai-won- kun, on charges of treason and murder, came to an end on May 11. He was con- demned to death, but his sentence was not put upon record. The Tai-won-kun, who never left the fruit-shop of which he had taken possession when the Prince was first confined, in order to be near the court- house, rushed from his temporary quar- ters as soon as the penalty was announced, burst into the palace of his son, the King, who was to have been the principal victim of the plot, and frantically besought mercy for the convicted assassin. The feeble- minded monarch gave way and the sen- tence was commuted to banishment for life. Even this token of grace was insuf- ficient for the aged Tai-won-kun, who at length extorted the promise that the term of expatriation should be reduced to ten years. This judgment was proclaimed May 13, and the Tai-won-kun then con- sented to be led back to his own residence, where he will doubtless occupy his time in weaving fresh plans for the deposition or death of the reigning sovereign. American and European residents of Formosa are in great alarm, owing to the threatening attitude of the Chinese soldiers on the islands. The Chinese authorities lost all control, and until Japanese take possession it is feared that foreigners may be in serious danger. Admiral Kabayama, the newly appointed Governor-General of Formosa, cannot assume control until the Chinese Government sends commissioners to arrange the transfer Qf authority, and no announcement as to the time when it will do this has as yet been given. Viscount Mutsu has returned to Tokio and is resting from his labors at his coun- try seat in the suburbs. He is slowly re- gaining strength. The Russian Government gave notifica- tion that it is prepared to execute the re- vised treaty with Japan at once. ASSAIL THE UNION PACIFC Another Step Taken Toward the Dismemberment of the System. Bondholders Will Secure a Separate Recelver for the Kansas City and Omaha. ST. PAUL, Mi~~., May 30.—Harry Rich- ardson and Harris & Pendleton, attorneys for the bondholders’ committee of the Kansas City and Omaha Railroad, made application to Judge Sanborn for leave to file a bill against thereceiversof the Union Pacific Railway Company for the fore- closure of the first mortgage of the Kansas City and Omaha, one of the branches of the Union Pacific, and the order was granted. The bill will be filed at Omaha to-morrow. The bill prays for separate re- ceivers, aswell as the foreclosure of the bonds. The bonds amount to $2,713,000. This is another step in the dismember- ment of the Union Pacific Company. The action and proceedings are similar to those brought in the Oregon Short Line case, which bas just resulted in the appoint- ment of John M. Egan as receiver of the latter road. This may force the fore- closure of the mortgage on the St. Joe and Grand Island, another branch of the Union Pacific, as that branch guaranteed the in- terest on the Kansas City and Omaha bonds, and is made a party to this suit. e s REVOLUTIO. ECUADOR. General Fight IN Bowen’s Forces Federal Troops. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 30.—A special to a local paper from Panama says: The Pacific Steam Navigation Company’s steamer Santiago brings information that Governor Drouet of Guayaquil, Ecuador, has been deprived of his office. Rafael Bolite has been appointed to succeed him. General Bowen on May 21 attacked the Government barracks at Babahoyo, seventy miles from Guayaquil, on the River Guayas, with a force of about 1500 men. He held the Government troops in check constantly in the entire province of Los Rios, He should have been suc- cessful at Babahoyo. Colonel Maldonado betrayed him at the last moment, how- ever. This treason compelled General Bowen to retreat. The retreat was made in perfect order. The next day the Government troops took the offensive. They were forced to retreat in disorder, leaving many dead on the field and many prisoners in the handsof the patriots. A companion of General Bowen says he acted heroically in leading the men. He was wounded in the arm. the e Is Marts Yet Alive? NEW YORK, N. Y., May 30.—A special to the World from Havana says that neither President Marti nor Gomez are dead or even wounded, and this, it is said, is positively known here. Moreover, it is asserted upon what is pronounced to be good authority, that neither was at Boca de Dos Rios at thetime of the battle in which the Spanish reported that Marti was slain and Gomez wounded. A man was killed at Dos Rios, the finding of whose body afforded a basis for the story that Marti fell. Thisman was a Cuban spy, it is declared, who was carrying the correspondence of leaders. Commercial Men Anxious. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 30.—A special to the World from Colon, Colombia, says the commercial community is exceedingly anxious about the results of the contention in New York between the Pacific Mail Steamship Company and the Panama Railroad Company. Engineer Videl Sal- monezar has arrived for service on the canal. RIS The Duke of Orleans Recovers. SEVILLE, Seary, May 30.—The Duke of Orleans has so far recovered from the injuries which he received while out hunt- ing as to be able to leave here to-day for Gibraltar on his way to London, where it is expected the marriage of his sister, Prin- cess Helene of Orleans, to the Duke of Aoasta, nephew ef the King of Italy, will e place on or about June 8, T0 SUE ARTHUR RODGERS Mrs. Isabella Martin Says He Has Damaged Her Character. $500,000 DAMAGES ASKED FOR. The Plaintiff Writes a Congratula- tory Letter to the Bride of the Defendant. The papers in a suit for $500,000 damages against Arthur Rodgers for defamation of character will be filed this week by Attor- ney J. C. Bates, acting for Isabella T. Mar- tin. The complaint alleges that between the 8th day of June and the 28th day of September, 1894, said Arthur Rodgers, in the presence of one of the jurors of the Henry Martin will case, stated that Mrs. Isabella T. Martin was not the mother of “Baby John,” that he was a child that she obtained from the foundling asylum of New York and that his knowledge was based on the physical condition of Mrs. Martin when she left this city for New York. Another suit will follow this, also against Mr. Rodgers, [sabella T. Martin,as guardian of baby John, suing for the same amount, §500,000 damages, alleging that Rodgers had defamed the child by attempting to bastardize him. On the occasion of Mr. Rodgers’ nuptials Mrs. Martin wrote a congratulatory letter to the bride, from which the following are extracts: My Dear Madam: I trust that you will, un- der the circumstances, pardon the liberty I take in addressing you a hitherto stranger to myself. However, no longer & stranger, for I shall watch the career of yourself and husband with great interest and fervor, for Arthur Rodgers can never, while life lasts, undertake or aitempt anything that will not be closely followed by myself. 1 have some advice that I would like to give you as a friend. Always carry with you, wher- ever you may be, a faithfully and xeligiousxi kept diary, so that at any time or place, shoul circumstances demand, you may be able to ac- curately reply to the same questions your husband asked me in open court, before the gentlemen of the jury in the Martin will case and the speetators that thronged the court- room. We never know what may come to us in this world of change. But take my advice and be ready for him. Iknow him well. I know his trueinwardness, and am surprised that you, after pllolln% your little craft in such smooth waters, should again venture on an unknown and treacherous sea. If it isever in my power to assist you, command me. Truly yours, ISABELLE T. MARTIN. Mrs. Martin waited until the filing of the papers in the above suit before sending this cheerful epistle to the bride, who is now honeymooning in the woods of Camp Taylor. DUPLICATED REPORTS. B. M. Lelong Speaks of the Advantages of Holding a State Commission- ers’ Convention. Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald was in Sacramento early in the week and sug- gested to Governor Budd the holding of a convention to be composed of the heads of all State Commissions and bureaus. These officials in gathering statistics frequently overlap each other’s work and send to the State Printer reports that cover the same or nearly the same ground. By holding a convention and afterward monthly meet- ings a supervising board can lay oat the work for each commissioner, so that the general work will be greatly simplified. B. M. Lelong of the State Horticultural Commission is in favor of the proposition. In speaking of the advantages to be de- rived from proceeding in this way he called attention to a report by Labor Com- missioner Tobin, who held that office sev- eral years ago. In that report Mr. Tobin, in dealing with the question of farm and orchard laborers, devoted over fifty pages to horticultural, viticultural and agricul- tural matters that properly belonged to other departments. In fact the same mat- ters were discussed in detail by the com- missioners of horticulture, agriculture and viticulture in their reports published at the same ti IN A DYING CONDITION. A Stranger Badly Beaten Found by Officer Johnston. About 12 o’clock last night Officer John- ston found a man in a dying condition on South avenue and D street. The patrol- wagon was called out, but the man was found to be dead when the Receiving Hos- pital was reached. An examination at the hospital showed a bif bump on the forehead. a gash over the left eye and the right eye badly dis- colored. The appearance of the man indi- cated that he was probably a follower of the races. He was about 35 years old, licht complexion and hair, with sandy mustache.” The body was taken to the Morgue. — The Forester Picnic. The Forester reunion and picnic at Schuet- zen Park, San Rafael, yesterday, drew a large number of “hewers of wood.” Music by Golden Gate band was one of the features. There were 117 gate prizes, 36 being for races. The icnic was given under the auspices of Court ndependence No. 8320, Anclent Order of Foresters of America. Food!
