Paris, 7.-Enormous throngs of
people are visiting the tonic Of
Gambetta. A demonstration was
made at the grave of BlanquI to
day. About 200 persons laid gar
lands on the grave and speeches
were made. One speaker protested
against the honoTs paid to the mem
DRY of Gambetta. Other manifesto
lions followed at the tomb of feder-
ais of 1871. There were many signs
of mourning for Gambetta in Bor-

New York, AT Tammauy Hall
a great thr0ng OF Frenchmen at
tended the funeral services IN men,
DRY of Gambetta. IN front of the
stage was a catafalque heavily
drapped, and guarded by "Gardes
Lafayette" AT o'clock q band
stationed in the hall played a fun
eral march. Members of the French
societies filed in. Officers and citi-
Zens specially invited taking seats
on the stage beneath a portrait Of
Gambetta and the tri-cOlorS of
France. All wore Grape and i'm
mOrtelles. The president spoke
briefly, simply saying in the name
OF New York French societies in
the name Of the French republic,
he thanked those present for the
| honor they paid the memory of
| Gambetta.
Washington, 7.-R. R. Hit, for
years secretary of legation, who
knew Gambetta intimately, says OF
him: He had the rare power of
swaying an audience, of suddenly
arOusing the deepest passions, and
of commanding the entire spirits
Of men at moments, which the
worlds great orators only possess.
He was what the books call g Demos
thenecian in his power; now and
then exhibiting all its strength. He
| had to begin with, q wonderfully
rich, powerful, and musical voice, to
which was added rare fluency in
expression and correct understand
ing and application of terms. The
constitutional convention of 1871
1875, of which he was a member,
and the Chamber of Deputies, were
both turbulent and at times I'M
manageable bodies. Men of strong
passions, representing all elements
of society and politics were in the
convention. There were over 700
members, and in the Chamber over
500. There were frequent scenes Of
tumult, passion and confusion. A
hundred men would be talking at
once, in outcry, or reproach,
or appeals Of every sort,
but GaIubetta could control it.
For time his words might not be
understood a dozen feet away.
Gradually, however, the steady
swelling notes CT that marvellous
voice would dominate all others,
compelling quiet. Attention would
be imperceptibly directed toward
him as toward a centre of sound.
Almost before any one was aware
; of it the din would subside and all
, be turned to hear his thrilling,
rushing, strong current of elo-
quence. Gambetta possessed to an
! extraordinary degree the faculty of
,, talking through tumult and talking
!, it down. Interruptions inspired
: rather than disconnected him, and
E passion cleared his reason and in
q tensifed his expression. He was
= exceedingly anxious to learn all
about the American caucus system,
and was much surprised that men
of different political parties would
be warm friends.
J, the remains of Gambetta placed In
q vault Pere la Chaise belonging tC
0 the municipality of Paris, A bag

: "Lotheringia, memor veslata, noI
