| alists to day proved a success. The occasion
is regarded not only as mark of sympathy
| for the cause in which Rossel and his com
rades suffered, but also as triumph over the
police commissioners. At noon the gather.
ing commenced in the neghborhood OF
Cooper Institute, and soon the thoroughbred
on either side of it in third and fourth avenues
became nearly blocked up. There being be-
sides the intending processionists immense
| crowds ofholiday street gazers, who from time
time cheered every one in general, and the
female communists Woodruff and Claflin in
particular. About quarter past two o'clock
there was general stir among the masses and
soon the solemn notes of a funeral dirge were
heard from the band Of Hawkins zouaves
which formed the head of the column. I'm
mediately after came platoon of the Scin-
domore guards (colored,) and then Messrs.
Banks and Fuerau followed by number of
ladies on foot. Miss Tennic G. Claf1in carry
ing red flag, which bore the inscription,
81 A. w. section Is, and social and political
equality for both sexes, and Mrs. Victoria
Woodruff; then the Secretary and Unions in
the following order: Cuban League with Gu
ban flags; another crowd of females and
males with the drum corps of Hawkins zou-
ayes; the catafalque upon which were three
collins drawn by six horses NJ. M. Deveuve
and Megy, late commander of the Fort Issy
as pail bearers, and Watkins; with them
about dozen refugees from Paris; the
French legion of the Printers Union, Brick
layers Union, Cabinet-makers Union, and
five carriages, in all close on to two thous-
and people. In the foremost carriage sat
Gen. Ryan of the Cuban notoriety and the
Fenian Chief O'Donnovan Rosa. In another
carriage rode Mrs. Francis Rose Mckinley.
The catafalque was substantially yet taste
fully made. 1t was draped in black with an
inscription on the sides in white letters 'To
the martyrs of the Universal Republic" and
it was decorated with red flags and streamers,
mingled with mourning Grape. The process
sonists generally wore red rosettes and scarfs
with black Grape, and the banners and flags
were nearly all the same color. The banner
captured last Sunday by the police was the
most noticeable. 1t bore the inscription,
''Ihe spirit of the commune expands as the
axe of the executioner falls on the necks of
its martyers." The line of march of the pro-
cession was down the Bowery to Great Jones
Street, to Broadway, across Broadway to
Wayerly Place, to Tifih.avenue, up fifth ave.
nue. to Thirtyfouth street, to sixth avenue,
down to Fourteenth street to Lincoln's monu-
ment in Union Square, around which the
procession marched and then dispersed.
Fifth avenue was entirely deserted for once
by the "upper ten" who took refuge behind
their window curtains occasionally peeping
out at the reds. The greatest order pre-
vailed throughout.
