Carriages. "a
The procession moved out Fifth street to
Seventh, down Seventh to Pine, out Pine to
Grove, across Grove TO Mississippi, out Missis-
sippi street to Oakland At the head Of Missis-
sipp street the fremen, police and Druids stool
in open ranks with uncovered heads while the
procession passed, and then returned to the city,
the remainder of the cortege proceeding to the
cemetery. The spot chosen for the last resting
place of the deceased was on the beautiful knoll
in the upper and older part of the cemetery.
The Medical association had literally covered
the grave with flowers, and the casket rested
upon a floral bed while Rev. Dr. Neil
read the burial service The casket was
then lowered, and DR.. Isaac l.. Mahan, Master
OF the lodge, read in an admirable manner the
Masonic burial service When the sorrowing
family were standing with bowed heads by the
open grave, encircled by the Masonic fraternity,
there was pause in the service, and the band
rendered NEARER My God to Thee" in an ex-
quisitely fine manner making the scene one of
the most solmenly impressive ever witnessed
at q burial. Slowly and sadly the large concourse
left the cemetery at the conclusion of the service,
and DR.. Stewart was at rest.
Though there was no formal suspension of
business. there was practical suspension, and
the route of the procession was thronged
its entire length by thousands of
spectators, and ali thoughts were
turned for the time to paying the last honors to
a citizen who had won the personal affection of
the entire community,
In the multitude of floral offerings it would be
difficult to describe them in detail, but the fol
lowing were the most notable:
Solid standing Latin cross Of flowers present
ed hy the sisters of st. Joseph.
Pillow of flowers, from Mrs. Alex. Ramsey.
Standing Latin cross from Mr.. Henderson
Sheaf of ripe wheat and sickle of flowers from
Mrs. Thad Jones.
Latin cross from Drs. Wedelstadt and Dow
Wreath from Miss Julia Robertson.
Latin cross, from Chas c. McKubin,
Wheat sheaf and sickle, from Mrs. Thomas
Bently.
Anchor, from Mr.. and Mrs. c. W. McIntre.
Large parterre, from Mr. and Mrs. Forepaugh

There we're in addition a profuson of cut
flowers from Mrs. DR.. Stone. Mr. Langford

Mrs. Neill, Miss Neill Mrs Chas. Furness, Miss
Mugent, DR., and Mrs. Hartsuf, Mrs Thos.
Smith, Miss Katie Barrows, Miss Nellie Carver.
Mrs. Bigelow, Mrs. That Field and many others
These tenderly touching tributes, but feebly
express the esteem IN which the deceased was
held and only voice, the general sorrow with
which one who has occupied SO prominent
place in the hearts of the people was placed in
his final home.

Parliament Resieged-Proposed ReeiprSc-
ity and Reductio Oh of the Duty ON Grain.
OTTAWA, Feb. 15.-The city is more crowd
ed than Montreal was during carnival week
People are sleeping double in the lodging
houses and are quadrupled in the clerks offices
and barber shops in the hotels. All Quebec is
there asking for money from the Dominion
government, and good slice of Manitoba is
looking for whatever it can get. The Domin-
ion parliament is considering two gu estions of
interest to Americans. First, the Americans
want to reciprocate on coal and iron. Ontario
is a nearer market for Pennsylvania coal than
it Is for that from the maritime provinces On
tario is now using American coal, but the duty
leaves very little profit on the coal, because
the dealers have to sell it at a price that keeps
out the native product Before the protective
policy was enforced, Newfoundland used to
send her coal, which is all bituminous, into
New England In large quantities, and the
Americans offer to knock off the duty for Cam
ada coal into New England, If Caaada will abb
rogate the duty on American coal for Ontario,
As to iron, the proposed reciprocity is not so
fair, but 1t is good for Canada, and probably
will be agreed upon. America wants to knock
off the duty both ways, SO that she can get the
Lake Superior Canada ores. As Canada has
no furnaces, she will simply gain handy mar
ket for her ore If this is DONE
The big millers of Canada are asking for a
reduction of the tariff on American wheat.
The rate is 10 cents a bushel on wheat, and 60
cents a barrel on -four. 1t takes four bushels
and half Of wheat to make q barrel of flour,
and the consequence is that no wheat comes in
As the Canadian crop is very poor, the large
milling concerns cannot get enough to grind,
much less can they get the quality they want
with which to keep up their standard grades
But the grangers have held meetings all over
the country and sent deputstions to Ottawa to
insist that the duty must be kept where it is.
They say the millers must take their chances
as they (the farmers) have to do. They have
made money four years hand running. Now
they must stand poor year. The merchants
in flour. and the grocers, have shown their
willingness to accept the inferior product Of
the season, and the small millers are not join
ing with the big Ones Sir John Macdonald is
said to be indisposed to make any change, and
it is safe to say that none will be made.
smith-Mnclkcy Gable Company.
The Bennett-Mackey Gable Company bill to-
day was passed by the special committee to
which it was referred. Amendments were
made confning the company simply to laying
the cables and constructing land lines sufficient
TO enable them to make the necessary connec-
tions with the existing system.

There are marks In the fate of each clme, there
are turns In the fortunes OF men,
But the changes of realms and the ehances OF tms
shall never restore thee again.
Thou art chained to the wheel OF the roe oy INKS
which world cannot sever ,.. -.
With thy tvrant through STORM hnu tnro ciouo
thou shalt GO and thy sentence Is bondage Tor
ever.
Thou art doomed for the thaukless to toll, thou art
left for the proud TO disdain; go,
The blood OF thy sons and the wealth OF thy soil
shall be lavished, and lavished 10 vain.
Thy riches with taunts shall be takon, thy yalor
with GOODNESS be paid,
And of millions who see thee thus sunk and fOrsak-
en-, not one shall go forth in thy aid.
In the nations Thy place is left Vod thou are lost
In the list OF the free,
Even realms by the pl que and the earthquake de-
stroyed, may revive, but no hope is for thee"
Never before or since have 1 heard anything
like it. Many an eye was dim with tears
when he finished the recital. No wonder that
Irshmen placed upon his casket floral offer
ings consecrsted with their tears. The scene
in the cradle of libery where he lay in state
teaches lesson of value to our young men who
are entering upon their life work. 1t teaches
that the sure road to success is to take the
side of justice. No matter how unpopular IL
may be at the time it will triumph in the end.
There Is implanted in the human heari a mon
itor to tell us the right thing to do and, like
Phillips,we should keep step to its promptingI.
The procession of toil-worn men and women
who looked lovingly upon the face OF their
great champion as he lay dead was an ovation
worth the labor of lifetime. His crown was
OF more valve than any earthly diadem. Those
who sneered and scoffsdat him sleep in obliv-
ion; while Wilberforce, O'Connell, Phillips,
Garrison, Sumner and. Lincoln live in the hearts
of all who love freedom and hate wrong. and
their fame will grow brighter every year until
the principles for which they contended shall
prevail the world over.
We shall not soon look upon another like
Wendell Phillips. Born and reared in the lap
of luxury and pride, the pet OF Intellectual
Boston, he turned away from what seemed the
path of success and became OF no reputation.
Like O'Connell his heart was so large that IL
took in the oppressed of all lands. To them q
nation without liberty was like planet with
out an atmosphere; it was dead, He took
up its banner and bore it like the brave grand
man thar he was. Be knew nothing about
evasion or concealment. He was
"a helper of the human race,
A soul of be tuty and of grace;
A spirit firm, erect and free
That never basely bends tie kDee
That will not bear 8 feathers weight
OF slavery's chain. for small or great;
That firmly speaks of God within,
And never makes a league with sin;
That snaps the fetters despois make,
And loves the truth for its own sake;
That worships God and him alone;
That trembles at no tyranL's rod,
A srul that fears no one but God,
And thus can smls at curse an ban;
That is the soul that filed this man.

wendell phillins, wiu.

Boston, Feb 15.-The will OF Wendell
Phillips leaves his entire property valued at
from $200, 900 to $3.50 900 Internationally to his
wife. 1t specifies that should the latter die
before him his property should go to his
newhew, S. P. Blagdon of New York, to be
held in trust for the wife OF George w. Small
ley of London.
An Interesting will Case Decided.
The late Eliza f. Eddy bequeathed the resi-.
due of her estate, some $4,000, to Lucy Stone
Blackwell and Snsan B. Anthony, in consid-
GRAFTON of their work toward securing the bal
lot for women. The plaintiff who is son-iti-
law of Mrs. Eddy, claims that Mrs. Eddy, in
her will, established a trust as far as Mrs
Blackwell and Miss Anthony are concerned,
and that said trust is void, because the work
of securing political freedum for women is not
a charity, and therefore the residue revert TO
the heirs. The ground taken by Mrs. Black
well and Mrs. Anthony is that The gift was an
absolute one, and not trust. Gen. Butler
appeared for the defendants. In the Supreme
Court today Judge Alien sustained the defend
ants demurrer, and decided that the bequest
was an absolute gift The full bench will pass
upon Judge 4 liens decision.
Opinions in Important suits.
An opinion was fled in the United States
Circuit Court today by Judges Lowell & Nell
son which is practically in favor of the stock
holder of the Credit Mobilier as against the
trustees under tne Oakes Ames & Union Paci-
fc contract. The cases were those of Rowland
Hazand, Commissioner, VS.. Thomas Durant
and others; same vs. same. The defendant
filed demnrrers and the hearing was thereon,
but the decision involves all the points at issue
some SIG, ,000,0 600 are Involved. In the second
suit the court holds that tho plaintiffs powers
and duties are solely those of receiver and
he must be treated in that capacity alone. This
is named as fatal objection to the second suit.
In the first suit the demurrer was oyerruled,
and in the second demurrer sustained.

Wendell Phillins.

That he was the greatest orator Of our day
none who heard him can question. remem-
Der the first time heard him. 1t was at
thinly attended meeting of abolitionists held
in "Fanuel" Hall (as the old Bostonians called
iD in 1S48. He was speaking as I entered. To
me he looked like king among his fellows.
No one could initiate him. Everett, the pol
ished man who made every gesture study,
with all his finish, was no match for the great
agitator. He impressed one with his mighty
earnestness. The world was his mission field.
Such men are raised up and fitted to drive the
ploughshare through the soil of conservatism
and caste and prepare the field for the more
progressive harvest of Justice and Truth. In
the language OF Lowell
He stood upon the worlds broad threshold; wide
The din of battle and of slaughter rose;
He saw God stand upon the weaker side,
That sank in seeming loss before its foes;
Many there were who made great haste and sold,
Unto the common enemy their swords.
He scorned their gifts of fame, and power and gold,
And underneath % their SOFT ,c; ana no cry words
And humbly joined him to the weaker part
Fanatic named, and fool, yet well content
So he could be the nearer TO Gods heart,
And feel its solemn pulses sending blood
Through all the widespread veins of endless good.
His heart was on fire for equal rights. His
was democracy that was rooted and ground
ed in the "Sermon on the Mount" There
vas no compromise with wrong. To him the
cry OF the oppressed was like a moan from the
family cradle. The auction block, with all of
its accursed surroundings, represented sale of
his first born, and the lash Of the overseer cut
his sensitive nerves and made him keep time
with tie groans Of the tortured. The stamp OF
Gods image was current, whether cast in sill
yer or copper. With him, a creed or pulpit
that defended such system, was the rankest
atheism. He was terrible in his denuncations
of tho apologists and trimmers of his day,
who were ready to condone and share in the
spoils of slavery. The abolitionists neither
asked nor gave quarter, and they were right.
Great evils must be overcome by steady blows
upon their foundation with the sledge hammer
of truth and sincerity.
This was Pbillps'S way Of doing things, and
none could excel him. He was a volcano in
full blast when he assailed the "sum of all vii.
lainies." He loved to praise where he deemed
it lust. Who that heard his masterly trib-
ute to O'Connell, the first of orators and agita-
tors, can forget his manner when, in the midst
of his soul stirring eulogy of that noble lover
of liberty, he paused and repeated these lines:
90, ireland, my countryl the hour of thy prid and
thy splendor hath passed.
The chain that was spurned in thy moments Of pow
OF, hangs neaYy around thee at LAST

Free Trade Under British Rule.
BROOKLYN, Feb. 15.-The Rev. Cyrus Ham
lin, PRESIDENT of Middlebury College, of YER
mont, Iectared last evening, under the auspices
OF the Brooklyn Revenue Reform Club. in the
hall OF the Long Island4aistorical Society.
HIS subject was the Limits of Free Trade and
Protection" Mr.. Hamlin, who has spent
some time in the East as missionarv. and
who says that he has watched the effects off
free trade, forced by British rule upon de-
pendent nations, is decided protectionist.
He was introduced by the Rev. Henry Ward
beecher, who spoke of the advantages of hear
Ing both sides of the tariff question. If one
side should prevail it would be because the
great body OF the people were satisfied that it
was the right one After the lecture Mr.,
beecner moved vote of thanks to Mr. Ham,
I'm. he said that the sound spanking which
Great Britain had received at the hands of the
lecturer had undoubtedly pleased the Yankees
present Ii he were satisfied IS to the truth
OF many OF the reports which the lecturer had
quoted IN regard to British tyranny In pushing
the interests OF free trade, he would instantly
cnange slQes on the tariff question.

Truce Between Chilli and BOLIVIA.

PANAMA, Feb. 6.-Oable dispatches say that
an arrangement has been perfected between
Chill and Bolivia, by which truce is establish
ed for three years, but with the strange condi-
tion that Chilli will allow no hostile demonstra-
ton on the part Of Bolivia toward Peru. This
not only means decisive denial to the desires
of Bolivia regarding Tacna and africa, but al
so is veto to any attempt that might be made
by the former ally of Peru toward gaining an
outlet to the sea by way of Arequipa and Mol
lendo. Chill, in return, will build the rail-
ways from the coast, at Autofagssta or Iquique
up to the Bolivia ciies, control the Bolivia
trade, and accomplish, possibly, her prime OBJ
ject in going to war with Peru.
A correspondent of Ell Tacora, writing from
La Paz, says; "The Bolivian government, in
its last instructions to its representatives in
Chill, endeavors to place itself in such a posi-
ton that it will be able to make war on Peru
with lmpunity, and seize the Puno and Are
quipa departments. Then, if other powers in
terfere to prevent this outrage, an effort will
be made to make use of them to regain the Bo.
livian territory lost during the war"
