ber of the imperial family has ever been
so honored. Not the least notable feat
ure of the procession was the absence of
the police. The people themselves kept
a perfect order. The, procession was
three hours in marching mile and a
half. The coffin was borne on the
shoulders of friends, literary people, and
students. On the way the choirs and
the people sang, "Vechnaia PAmiat"
(eternal memory. | never heard any
thing so solemn, grand and mournful,
as that Russian funeral song.
To-day. at noon, Bishop Nestor, as"
sisted by dozen priests, performed the
solemn requiem. The Minister of Pub,

the Press were present When the coffin
was lowered into the grave sobbings

see a face not bedewed with tears. The
people were greatly moved by the pa
thetic voice Of the daughter Of the de-

bouquets, and till nightfall was sur
rounded by people.

An Important Case.

NEW YORK. Feb. 17.-Recently William :. Will
liams sued the Western Union to prevent the
issue OF % 600 600 shares OF stock of the Company
in scrip. IL purchase stock of the American Union
and Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Companies.
He obtained a temporary Injunction restraining
the Directors of the Western Union Company from
perfec.ing the purchase and. the Union Trust
Company from Issuing the scrip. The Special
Term of the Superior Court was crowded this
morning by brokers and capitalists, anxious to
hear the argument on the injunction. The plain
tiff asks the injunction to be made perpetual and
tina 1.-THE defendants be restrained from effecting
the purchase intended He also wished an injunc-
ton TO forbid the issuing OF stock of Sl5 600 600
what he called watered stock, which did not rep
resent the capital. In answering the bill of COM
plant the counsel fer the Telegraph Company
argued that there were but two grounds alleged
for injunction. One alleged conspiracy be-
tween the defendant Directors of the Western
know, but which they propose 10 discover by sub
the proceedings the allegation that the
Western Union Company proposed to pay S., coo, :
600 for the Atlantic and Pacific stock which they
asserted was worth but 81 GOO co., and So 600 600
for the American Union stock. which the
plaintiff has asserted was worth but s., 900 000
The allegations the counsel denied, and in
support of his argument submitted affidavit,
sworn to by August Schell. Edwin d. Morgan,

The whitaker Court Martial.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-In the Whitaker Court
Martial to-day Colonel Lasceile said Whitaker
admitted that the scissors found in his quarters
belonged TO him. Whitaker told him he did not
know the perpetrators of the outrage, and did not
believe he had an enemy in the Cadet Corps OF
elsewhere.
On cross-examination, Colonel Lascelle said
Whitaker made no objection to giving up the
pocketk knife or papers, or any other articles de
sired by the authorities investigating the case.
Whittaker's manner in conversing with
witness about the affair was
frank ard candid and he showed no indications
of connecting the story. Whitaker acted like a
lame person when he arose from the floor. Wit
ness observed a slight shrinking when Surgeon
Alexander dressed the cut on the ear. The shrink
ing was more from pain OF the operation than the
result of the mental shock. The handkerchief
found under Whittaker's head. aud from which
the name had been cut was the sane pattern as
those sold in the Cadet Commissary Department.
The barber thought it impossible for Whitaker
to have cut his hair himself. The witness knew
Whitaker lived alone in the barracks and also
in camp, and knew nothing OF his treatment by
other cadets. The witness asked il he had
made remarks outside bearing on the case. He
objected 10 speaking OF what he had said I'm con-
versation and not officially.
Professor Greener insisted the witness report
made at the time was based upon the assumption
of guilt, and that witness had said things before
they were officially given to the public
Colonel Lascelle denied this. He denied hav-
ing told any one of the Postoffice employees that
No was Whitaker, or that he had said any
thing TO influence public opinion in his e0mmu-
