Cremation.

The craving for cremation is moro gen.
eral than many people suppose. Those
who entertain the dread OF being burned
| alive will learn with interest of the report
| on the memorial which the communal
administration of Brussels presented to
the Belgian Chamber praying that crema-
ton should be rendered optional. The
report of the Committee on the petition,
| which was adopted with unanimity, and
IN whose prayer the provincial Council of
Brabant concurred, sets forth that at
present cremation is nots sanctioned by the
Belgian law. Italy, Germany, Swltzer-
land and the United States have permitted
cremation, and crematores have been es-
tablishod at Milan, Padua, Cremona, Lodi,
and Eacese. At Milan, I'D to TIE oni, CT
1881, $50 crematlons had taken. place, at a
cost of $40 each. In 1899 Parlsians were
allowed the privilege of cremation on cer-
tain conditions, but the practice ls now
illegal In France, and bill before the
Chamber permitting every citizen the
liberty of being cremated after death has
not yet passed into law. The Belgian re-
port enlarges on the great hygienic advan
tages of cremation, and maintains that It
wounds neither the sentiment OF human
dignity or the respect due to the mortal
remains of our kind. 1t gives to death a
conception, If not more cOnsoling, at least
more serene and more elevated, not only
in Kidding death of the associations of cor
ruptlon and putrefaction, but also In SYM
bolizing the transformation Of being III the
bosom OF the purifying clement, and the
mysterious Encouragement Of the spiritual
principle. The only objection, that cre-
nation would render impossible the detec-
ton Of polsons by subsequent exhumatlon,
it proposes to parry by forbidding all cre-
nation except by the express desire of the
defunot and by providing that in all cases
where there is suspicion cremation muet
be preceded by a post-mortem.

JEFFERSON CITY, Jan. 1.-The assembly
organized to-day By electing the caucus
nominees reported last night. This after
noon Gov. Crittenden sent his biennial
message to the legislature. 1t declares
the finances of the state to be in a very
satisfactory condition, reviews the Hanni-
bal & st. 10 railroad litigation, and asks
for an appropriation to defray the ex-
penses of the further prosecution of the
state claims. On the topic of outlawry,
after reviewing the exploits of the James
gang and citing his proclamation offering
a large reward for their apprehension the
governor says the results which followed
so closely upon its issuance furnish ample
vindication of the party which in
spired it. In conclusion, he says:
Il paid $4,000 in rewards to various
persc MS for the capture and overthrow of
this band of desperadoes, not one dollar of
which was taken from the state treasury.
1t is not probable that Missouri will be
again cursed and disgraced by the pres
ence of such bands of men confederated to-
gether for desperate purposes. 1t is fully
redeemed and acquitted of that unwarrant-
ed appellation of "robber state" The
creation of state board of health is rec
commended and aid for educational insti-
tutions of the state asked.

State LEGISLATURES.
WichiG0n

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 4.-The Republi-
can members of theJlegislature to the num-
Der of fifty assembled in caucus this
evening to nominate a candidate for Uni
ted States senator, and all but one partiei-
pated in the proceedings. On the first
informal ballot Senator Ferry received
forty-six votes, and on the tenth formal
ballot he received fifty to six scattering
votes. The nomination was then made
unanimous. Mr.. Ferry was subsequently
introduced to the caucus and made a
short conciliatory speech, accepting
the nomination, and thanking friends for
their support.
The situation as it now stands is this:
Twenty -four Republicans did not attend
the caucus and declare themselves not
bound by the proceeding. They still ad-
here to their determination, already ex-
pressed, not to go into any caucus where
sixty seven votes are not required to nomi-
nate candidate. Counting all that at
tended the caucus bound by its action,
Ferry lacks ten of the necessary majority
of the entire legislature to elect, ,and his op-
ponents claim he cannot obtain these votes
Terry's friends, on the contrary, express
themselves satisfied with the result, and
avow the belief that enough of those not
participating in to-night's caucus will
eventually be secured to elect him. The
situation is almost entirely similar to that
of 1875, when the late Senator Chandler
was defeated and Judge Christiancy elect
ed, except that the margin of the opposi-
tion needed to electis nearly twice as large
now as then.

AN ANNOYED JAP.

How ArizngaW Prince o the Japan Sc
Realm, Did Not Get an Invitation to Dine
with Arthur.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 4.-The Japanese
prince, Arizugawa, now sojourning in this
city. is much annoyed over the dispatches
from Washington that have appeared late
ly. These stories, it is claimed, placed
him in an unfair and unjust light He has
spoken of the matter to his secretary and
members of his suite, and to-day made the
following explanation of the affair: The
prince remained in Washington only
about three days and a half He
was on his way home after
long absence, and wished to make
all possible haste. His arrangements were
made to connect with the steamer City of
Peking to sail on the 9th inst. The presi-
dent did not invite the prince to dine. but
called and said he regretted that his excel
lency was not to remain long enough to
accept an invitation to White house din
ner. No invitation was actually extended
on account of the limited time. In place
of a dinner the party took trip to Mount
Vernon. This matter was given in charge
of the secretary of state, and the Invitations
were all given out by hin, the prince attend
ing as guest simply and not knowing who
would be invited to meet him. He had no
thought of any discourtesy to any one, but
quite the reverse. Desiring to do all in his
power to do honor to the people of the
country he is visiting he regrets that such
misleading reports should have been circu-
lated, as he is desirous of doing all in his
power to cement the long-standing friend
ship which existed between Japan and the
United States. Owing to reported cool
ness between Mr.. Frelinghuysen and Gen.
Van Buren,, that gentleman is supposed to
have been omitted, but of this the prince
had no cognizance.
