The Detail of Troops to Act as
Escort at the Funeral.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Gen. Scho-
field has designated the troops to act as
escort at the Sheridan funeral. The
commands are all from near Washing
ton, save one from this port. Four
pews on either side of the center aisle
of the church have been removed and
catafalque is being erected on
which the remains will rest. The
interior of the church is being draped
with mourning. In accordance with
the wishes of the family, the church
ceremony will be simple, and the
Catholic clergy of the city will unite in
the Gregorian chant at the beginning
and ending of the mass. The choir of
the church will sing the music of the
mass without orchestral accompani-
ment.
Speaker Carlisle has appointed the fol-
lOwing-named gentlemen as the repre-
sentatives of the house upon the joint
congressional committee to attend Sher-
idan's funeral: Messrs. Hooker, of
Mississippi; Cutcheon, of Michigan;
Wheeler, of Alabama; Henderson, of
Illinois; Cox, of New York; Grosvenor,
of Ohio, and McShane, of Nebraska.

HAS MORE TO SAY.

Senator EvartS Talks Two Hours
in Opposition to the Fisheries
Treaty and Will Have More to
Say To-Day.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Immediately
after the morning hour the Chinese i'm
migration restriction bill was taken up
in the senate and passed.
Mr.. Sherman reported from the
finance committee the concurrent reso-
luton to print 100000 copies of the tariff
bill, with comparative statement to be
prepared by the house committee of
ways and means, of the differ
ences between the two bills.
The resolution was adopted.
The senate then took up the fisheries
treaty, and Mr.. Evarts took the floor in
opposition to it. Mr.. EyartS discussed
at great length the details of the treaty,
and the whole history of the fisheries
controversy. He declared that the
system of worrying" was always
brought into play by Canada whenever
the United States asserted its fishing
rights, and Canada asserted its contra
vention in order to bring the United
States to departure from the fishing
interests to the trading and commercial
interests, and that the United States
had thus been worried into the recip-
rocity arrangement in 1854. He said
that at every stage when the dominion
of Canada had undertaken to enforce
the bay or headlands doctrine, the Brit
ish government had declined to sustain
it. Canada, he said, had proceeded on
the philosophy of Hudibras, mot by
force of carnal reason, but of indefati-
gable teasing" What Canada had
always been after was reciprocity and a
free market. After Mr.. Evarts had
spoken two hours he postponed the re-
mainder of his speech until tomorrow
on account of the heat. After a few
minutes secret session the senate at 8

LEGAL HAIR SPLITTING,
Justice Harlan Delivers a Decision
of ImnOrtance to Postal Officials.


WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The case
recently decided by Mr.. Justice Harlan,
arising under the postal laws, is excit-
ing much interest and to-day the de-
cision which was an oral one, was
written out by the justice. Its main
points are as follows:
Certain inspectors caused postal Of
ficer to put a decoy letter, containing
money, and which they addressed to an
actual resident of Baltimore, to be put
with the letters usually put on the
dumping table in the postoffice in that
city. They had previously ar
ranged with the postmaster that
the letter, if it passed the
backing and canceling tables, and
reached the carriers room, or division,
should not be delivered to the carriers
for delivery to the person addressed,
but to the inspectors. This letter never
reached the carriers division, and it
was charged to have been taken by the
accused while working at the back
ing table. He was indicted under the
first clause of section 5.465 for secret
lng, embezZling and destroying this
,decoy letter, which, it was alleged, was
intended to be conveyed by mail. He
was also indicted under the second
clause of the same section for stealing
the money out of the letter. On the
last Indictment he was acquitted and
convicted on the first.
Mr.. Justice Harlan, while saying that
decoy letters could be legally and prop
erly used to detect postal thieves, held
that letter which the inspectors and
postmaster deliberately cOntrived should
not be delivered to a carrier, or to the
person addressed, OF to the latter's agent
s irC Of No
statute "a letter intended to be con-
yeyed by mail" He said that the ques-
ton was a close one, but that his better
Judgment favored the decision Just
Stated as the more likely to give effect
to the purpose of congress. The instruc-
tions at the trial in the district court
being regared as inconsistent with this
view, the judgment was reversed and a
new trial ordered.

PARIS, Aug. S.-The funeral of Gen.
Endes, the eX-communist, who dropped
dead while addressing a body of strik-
ers Sunday, took place to-day. Fifty
thousand persons gathered in the streets
adjacent to the house of the deceased
and thousands lined the route to the
cemetery. along which cavalry was sta
toned. The other troops in the Paris
garrison were held within their bar
racks In readiness for any emergency.
Traffic in the streets through which the
cOrtege passed was suspended and the
stores were closed. Fifteen thousand
persons marched in front OF the hearse
bearing the remains. They wore
bouquets Of red immortelfes. NJ. Basly,
member of the chamber of deputies,
was present, and he and NJ. Rochefort
were greeted with cheers and shouts of
"Nlve la Revolution" and
''VIVE LA COMMUNE"
The procession started at II O'Clock.
The pail bearers were NM. Valiant
LIE FrancaiS and Arnold, members of
the commune of 1871, and ii. Ostyn.
Louise Michel marched after the hearse
A brigade of police headed the process
sion. Large bodies of workmen and
strikers followed quietly. The walters
and hairdreSserS in the line were
noisier and demanded that the red
flags. which were carried covered,
be unfurled. The crowds along the
route shoutedsVivel la commune" as the
hearse passed. When the procession
reached the Boulevard Voltaire the red
flags were unfurled. A commissary of
police attempted to seize one, when
some one in the crowd fired a revolver
at him, but the bullet went wide of its
mark. Another commiSsary was beaten
with sticks. NJ. ROchefort was set upon
by an anarchist, who handled him quite
severely. The police were powerless
before the menacing attitude of the
mob. The geDdarmes made a charge in
front of Prince Eugene barracks, Strik-
ing in every direction with the butt
ends of their muskets. They succeeded
in releasing the police who had been
surrounded by the mob and
CAPTURED THE RED FLAGS.
When the procession arrived at the
marie of the Eleventh reimbursement
a revolver was fired and bomb thrown
close to the police station, but the bomb
did not explode. The reserve force of
police left the station and charged upon
the crowd with drawn swords, wound
ing and taking into custody many per-
sons. The procession continued on its
way to the cemetery, but grew smaller
as it progressed. A number of oratiops
were delivered at the grave amid cries
of ''Viye Ia commune" "Vive la revolu-
ti0n." At the conclusion of the oratiOnS
the gathering dispersed. The police
did not oppose the display of red flags
inside the cemetery.

many.
Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Aug. S.-Signor s. Crispi was
undoubtedly assured of the strongest
backing before issuing his circular note
proclaiming the intention of Italy to
definitely take possession of Massowah
and the surrounding territory. The
latter phrase is so ambiguous and capa-
bic of such elastic Interpretation that
there is no wonder it has given rise TO
uneasiness in certain quarters. Of
course the French are implacably
aroused, for they had congratulated
themselves that King Humbert and
his advisers were heartily sick
of Abyssinia and happy that
the army had gotten out of it
in not too undignified manner. Now
the French journals are eXhausting
their vocabulary of invective and Italy
is denounced as perfidiouS as Albion
was popularity declared to be a few
generations ago. 1t goes without say
ing that the astute gentlemen so well
acquainted with the motives of political
action see in this latest move
THE INSPIRATION OF GERMANY.
1t happened so soon after the meeting
of the emperOrs that it was evidently
the result of the suggestion of William,
confirmed by the acquieScence of Alex
ander. The former wished to veX the
Gallic soul through his ally, and the
latter. was not unwilling to crafty
his imperial guest and show Eu-
rope by his Independent attitude
that any rumors of French predi-
lections on his pant were baseless.
NJ. Goblet quotes history to prove
the utter baseneSs and illegality of
Italy'S course in confiScating such an
indefinitely described slice of Abyssin-
ian territory, but his protests will have
no force at all against the combined
promptings of Italian ambition and
Germany's policy. 1taly's doings may
not be exactly in strict accordance with
international comfy, but Signor Crispi
would not have to delve very far into
the archives of the past to find instances
of French treatment of Italy which will
not be readily forgotten. AS result of
the lapsing of the Franco-Italian COM
merciaI treaty the inhabitants Of the
former country represent that their
southern neighborS are on the
VERGE OF NATIONAL. BANKRUPTCY.
and there is no doubt that considerable
disturbance has arisen from the sudden
divergence of the old channels of trade,
but the French accounts are much eX-
aggerated and may be regarded as the
natural result of the present dislike to
Italy and its people. But the French
wrath is nothing to the CONSERVATION
with which the Italian soldiery regard
the decree which dooms another por-
ton of them to the barbarous and pesti-
len hole in which so many of their COM

New York Sun.
The newest lady poet of the day is
Miss MARGARET GORsER, who contrib
utes to the ST. Paul GLoBE-one of the
best journals in the country, by the
way-a poem on the Glover Blow, or the
flower of the common red clover. Her
verses are fresh and melodious, as be-
comes the subject, and we quote a
stanza:
o clover blow, clover blow, you are my
latest passion,
You languish on my finger tips,
press your sweet carnation lips,
So loving we loves nectar sip,
In such a charming fashion.
This Is better, in our opinion, than
that Swinburnian style in which SO
many of our lady verse makers love to
indulge their fancies. There cannot be
anything wrong in kissing a red clover
flower, no matter how big it is; but the
kisses that the SWINBURNE ladies some
times eXpend their genius Oh may be
less innocent, and they certainly are
less poetic.

Emerald Isle.

Emerald Isle.
LONDON, Aug. S.-The lord mayor
gave banquet at the Mansion house
this evening in honor of the cabinet
ministers. After the banquet number
of speeches were made. Lord George
Hamilton, first lord of the admiralty,
said that the old method of warfare on
which their ancestors depended was un-
reliable. If the country was to feel
sense of security it would be necessary
in future to maintain the navy at a high
standard. Lord Salisbury, prime min
lister, replying, said that the
local government bill had solved
the difficult problem of how to
govern London without doing injury to
the valuable privileges of the country:
The bill decreased the national debt and
increased the national credit. Regard
ing Ireland, Lord Salisbury said that
the great curse of That country was pov-
efty. The government was unable to
diminish poverty or to enrich men, but
1t could enable men, without interfer-
ence. to enrich themselves. He claimed
that the Irish government had been sue
ceSStul in lesseninguthe tyranny exer-
clsed by associations over the Irish peo-
pie, and that it had increased the sane
tIty of contracts. If the government OF
Ireland were administered for a few
years with the same judgment and firm
ness as now, liberty and prosperity
would be restored to the country.

LABOR OPpOSING HARRISON.

Ihe labor unions are already taking
action In regard to repudiating the Chi
cagO platform and ticket, and it must
be particularly discouraging to Gen.
HARRISON to observe that the first or
ganized movement that has been inau-
gurated in this direction is in his own
state. 1t is natural, however, that it
should begin there, because HARRIsoN's
position on the labor question is better
understood by his home folks than by
strangers. His Chinese record is part
of the history of the country, but there
are great many things in con-
that are not known outside of
his own state. The workingmen
Of Indiana know that during his
long residence in that state and his act
i've participation in public affairs Gen.
HARRISON has never given them word
OF encouragement or manifested the
least interest in the cause of labor.
What he has done and said has been in
opposition to them and to their organiZa-
tions. With his aristocratic ideas, he
held to the opinion that labor had no
rights which the upper classes should
respect. His Identification with cor
porate interests has bound him to the
opinion that labor organizations are
lnlmical to society and that they ought
to be broken up. These opinions are
best known TO those who have been
brought in daily contact with
the stilted Republican candidate for
the presidency. Therefore it is reason
able that the organized labor opposition
to his candidacy should begin in his
own state. 1t was the labor vote which
defeated HARRISON when a candidate
for governor of Indiana in 1886, and the
labor vote will defeat him in that state
in his candidacy for the presidency this
year.

on the Fisheries Treaty Until
December Likely to Operate.
Special to the Globe.
WAsHINGroN, Aug. S.-One of the
Republican senators, who is taking an
active part in opposing the ratification
of the fisheries treaty, said this morn
ing: Senator Morgan's motion to post
pone action on the treaty until Decem-
ber will undoubtedly operate if it is not
adopted. There is no hope whatever
for a final vote of the treaty at this ses-
sion, unless by dlnt of some extraordi-
nary manipulations we can bring to
Washington all of our men. There is
not quorum of senators in attendance.
1t will be necessary for us to have all
of our senators present in order to de-
feat Mr.. Morgan's motion. OF conrse
we could defeat ratification, because it
requires two-thirds vote to ratify the
treaty; but there will be vote upon
Mr.. MorganS motion to postpone be-
fore we can reach vote on the treaty
itself, and the motion TO postpone will
prevail unless it is defeated by major
ity vote. 1t is my impression that no
action will be taken on the treaty at
this session."

cinnati, Richmond. Kansas City, and
no telling how many other towns, are
applying to congress for money to aid
their local expositions. If all the
rest are going into the deal, of course st.
Paul will have to claim slice for the
state fair, and Minneapolis will have to
chip in its claim in behalf of the expo
Sltion. The state fair and the Minneap-
oils exposition are more deserving of
government aid than many other insti-
tutions that are already clawing for it.
And yet it would be mortifying to our
Minnesota people to think that they
were dependent on the federal treasury
for support for their local exhibitions.
The only way to prevent congress
from repeating its asinine performances
OF establishing circus shows at govern
ment expense is to wipe out the surplus.
The only way to do that is to reform the
tariff and to reduce the taxes. And the
only way to do that is through the
agency of the Democratic party.
