Order From The Navy Depart
ment.
WASHINGTON, September A.-The
following special order has been
issued from the Navy Department:
Struck down by the hand Of a coward
ly assassin in the day Of his vigor and
usefulness, on the eve Of his depart
ure from the Capitol, in search Of the
much needed rest from the tolls and
cares Of his office, our Chief Magis-
trate, President, and Commander-in-
Chief, James A. Garfield, after bearing
with heroic fortitude untold suffering,
succumbed to the dread summons,
and yielded up his life at Elberon,
New Jersey,on the evening ofthe 10Th
inst. The nation mourns its loss. The
funeral services will take place at
Cleveland, Ohio, on Monday, 26th
instant. 1t is eminently fit and proper
that special honors should be
paid to the memory of the
late President on that day,
and the department therefore directs
that at all the naval stations and on
board Of all vessels in commission,
flags shall be at half mast from sun
rise to sunset, and a gun fired every
half hour during that period. The
period Of mourning by half-masted
colors will cease at sunset on foreign
stations. This order will be carried
out on the day after its receipt. The
navy yards will be closed and all work
suspended. During the day, officers
OF the navy and marine corps
will, as a further mark of respect,
wear Grape on the left arm, and on the
sword hilt for six months from the
10th inst.
[Signedl, Ed. T. NICHOLS,
Acting Secretary of the Navy.

The Funeral Train.

ROCHESTER, Pa, September "a
AT Sewickly a stop of FIVE minutes
was made in order that the funeral
train might get thirty minutes in ad-
vance, it having been decided to keep
the two trains that distance apart.
The train arrived at Rochester at
7:43 o'clock. A large number of peo.
pie were gathered at the depot. The
Grand Army of the Republic, Post
1873, were drawn up in line in front Of
the depot.

Continuous Demonstration.

ALTOONA, September 24.-the Off
GERS who accompanied the funeral
train with the remains of President
Garfield report that there was one
continuous demonstration all along
the line. AT larger towns great mum
bers of people had assembled, and at
the residences between the stations
lights were displayed in the hands of
the occupants. At Altoona the number
of people assembled around the station
were estimated at 10000. At Lewis
town the track was strewn with
flowers. Especially large demonstra-
tions were noticeable at Huntingdon
and Tyrone.

Perpetual Crowds.


PITTsBURG, September 24.-Tht
Presidents funeral train left Altoona
on time and passed Johnstown at 3:15
this morning. About 5000 people had
congreg ated at the depot with uncov-
cred heads, and all we're silent. The
bells of all the churches, school
houses and engine companies were
tolled. Deery Station was reached
about 4:3O o'clock. Hundreds had
gathered here and the same scenes
were enacted.
When the train pulled into the
Union Depot at Pittsburg at $40
this morning, fully five thousand peo-
pie had assembled at the depot and
the streets through which the train
was to pass. No demonstration was
made, saving the tolling of all the
bells throughout the city, and the
firing Of minute guns by Knapp's
Battery. A committee of fifty citi-
zens were on hand, and with the
crowd stood with their heads bowed
and uncovered. The scene was very
solemn and impressive, and will not
soon be forgotten by those participat-
ing. During the fourteen minute
stop here, while the train was being
shifted to the Cleveland and Pittsburg
railroad train, no one ventured a
word above a whisper, and the funeral
party kept themselves out of sight.
Floral Tributes.
At 5:54 the train drew out of the
depot and slowly crossed the bridge to
Allegheny City, where the car bear
ing the Cleveland committee was at
tached to the train. As many more
people as had assembled in Pittsburg
lined the tracks through Allegheny
City and the parks along the line of
the railroad where it passes through
the west park. The tracks were COW
cred with plants in full bloom, and
beautiful and expensive floral tributes.
The train steamed out of Allegheny
City at $40 amid the tolling of bells,
but no other demonstrations. The
second train, bearing the Senators,
Representatives and others, arrived in
Pittsburg at 6;l7 and stopped for
breakfast, after which they continued
on their way to Cleveland.

THE ESITUATION AT ALBANY.
Preparing for the StrHggle-The
GOnkling men Discouraged,

ALBANY, May 1.-THE COuklins
men nave been plainly feeling discour
aged all day, percelvlng that the cur
rent OF politics was swiftly running
away from them. They now perceive
when too late, tnat an eX- Senator is not
rs powerful as IN actual Senator, and
that the National Administration has
an immense influence when it chooses
| To put ii forth. There seems to be Il con
Vlction in the minds of many Of the
members Of tie Legislature that the
rule OF Roscoe Conkling in Republican
politics in this State, which has lasted
since 1867, is already u thing of the
past. Many Of the Conkling men bit
terly reproach the ex-senator for cast
ing back the contest from Washington
to Albany.
They declare that they have suffered
many things for his sake, but they are
not yet ready to accept his protier per-
Sonally OF murder or suicide. A vote,
they state in the Legislature in regard
to the SenatorShips will be closely scrll-
tinized in their several districts, and
may cause their defeat at the Nomina-
ting Conventions in the fall or even at
the polls Many men in order to avoid |
this cruel test are advocating an ad-
of the Legislature next
week, leaving the seats of New York. |
in the United States Senate, vacant for
slX months. This, they argue, would
bring the decision Of the dispute be-
tween the Administration and MrsSrS.
Conkling and Platt Squarely before the
people. This view, however, is not
taken by the leaders of either the Ad-
party or CUnkling forces.

their respective strength i'll the Lcgisla- |
Jurc.
