Among those present were the Czar Alexander the Third, the Empress and all the Imperial family, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Grown Prince of Prussia, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburg and delegates from all parts of Russia. At the close of the service the Czar kissed his dead father The coffin was then carried to vault in the cathedral by the Emperor, the Grand Dukes, members present of foreign reigning families and the chief court dignitaries, and the coffin was lowered into the grave amid salvo of artil- lery.

 Long Session in Prospect-A Report on
 Trichfnosis-Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, March 27.-Among the Repub- icans there is difference of opinion con- cerning the further organization of the Sen ate by the election of officers, not as to continuing the fight, but as to the mode of procedure. Senators Burnside and Hawley are said to be among the number who think it advisable to dispose of executive nomina- tions and then refuse to adjourn until the Senate is organized. Senators Conkling and Platt, of New York, as well those who ob- feet to some of the nominations, are deter mined to do nothing else until the officers are chosen. The difference of opinion has, how ever, assumed no alarming shape as the unanimous agreement of the last caucus was to fight it out on the present line if it takes all summer. The Democrats hope at least to get the Republicans to vote for the consider ation of executive business in day or so, 1, but there is as yet no reason to believe that any of those Republicans who are willing to go into executive session will weaken on the position taken by the majority. Senator Malone is still unweIl, but will attempt his speech at the opening of the Senate to-mor- row. He has not written out his remarks. He is expected only to make personal ex- planation. Replies are expected from the Democratic side and it is not improbable that the session may extend into if not through the night
 The report on trichinosis prepared by the late passed Assistant Surgeon Glazier in an- swer to the resolution of the Senate, which is in the hands of the printers, includes a his- tory of the disease, correspondence on the subject at home and abroad and figures shows ing the importance of the United States thoroughly understanding it. The report shows that nearly all animals have it. Hogs fed on kitchen slops are not so liable to dan ger of infection. When hogs are kept in stables where diseased hogs have been they should not be allowed to get at the flesh of any dead animal. Infected animals should be at once separated from the herd. The report also shows that trichinosis has been prevailing in all countries, especially in Ger many where so much raw meat is eaten. The report includes with an expression of the folly of any nation prohibiting the entry of pork from abroad when the native variety is fully as harmful.

Rushing Torrents-RiversS Swollen by the St0rm-Great Loss Of Lift, and Proper ty.
 OMAHA, March 27.-Reports from the in undated region along the Platte and Loup rivers are meagre but startling. The long bridge over the Platte at Orcapolis on the line of the Burlington and Mississippi rail road went out to-day, cutting of all commu- n1cation with the West. The flood has struck Valley station and sixty miles along the. line of the Union Pacific road. Every town and village is inundated and frightful loss of life is anticipated. The greater portion of the stock of grain and hay of the farmers is total loss. Every bridge on the Platte has been swept away, isolating the northern from the southern portion of the State. Fremont, town of 1000 inhabitants, is under water
 The railroads vainly endeavoring to send repairing material to the flooded region, but are paralyzed in their efforts. The extreme western limit of the flood is Duncan, ninety nine miles distant from Omaha. Last night Bonton was struck by raging mass of water and ice and covered to 8 depth of eleven feet. A number of inhabitants are believed to have gone out with the flood. Others were rescued from the roofs of buildings in boats. At Columbus the iron bridge over the Loup has gone over and Ashland is cut off from all communication and the valley of the Elkhorn is at the mercy of the waters. No news is yet obtainable from Loup Valley, but great fears are entertained for the safety of the inhabitants At last accounts tor rent of ice and water was sweeping through the valley and the settlers were fleeing for their lives. Warnings were sent by telegraph to various stations until the lines gave way and all communication ceased. Every effort will be made by the Union Pacific and Bur- ington and Mississippi roads to repair all breaks. Superintendent J. F. Clarke of the Union Pacific started this morning for Fre- mont with a force of four hundred men, but could get no further than Valley station di- vision. Superintendent Robert Laws with seventy-fve men and bridging material left Cheyenne to-day for Duncan on special train. At last reports the Platte was slowly falling. The ice gorge which for four days past has been forming on the Missouri oppo- site Omaha broke this afternoon and went down the river mile, where another and larger gorge is forming. The water is rapidly backing up towards the town and is rising at the rate of a foot and half per hour. The large silver refining works of the Union Pacific and the shops and lumber yard section of this city are threatened with inun- dation. The Union Pacific bridge is secure.
