in which the same is conducted and shall
have the right to obtain from such com
panies full and complete information
necessary to enable the Commission tc
perform ITS duties. The Commission
is to have the same jurisdiction and
power over telegraph companies, in sc

The dead General sleeps his last
sleep in the midst Of many of his Old
comrades in the historic Arlington
cemetery. A generation produces but
one Sheridan and ours has gone. The
funeral ceremonies over the remains OF
Gen Sheridan were directed by Cardl-

guished man ut the National Capital
and many from elsewhere; the militia,
ry procession was confined to that pre-
scrlped by Army regulation, and was
grand in its simplicity. The march
from the church to Arlington was
| through two solid ranks Of sorroWlng
citizens. Congress adjourned and all
the Government departments were clos
ed on the day Of the funeral, as a mark
of respect to the memory Of the dcao
soldier.
