Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
LONDON, Dec 3O.-fBy cable to the New
York World. ALI arrangements have been
made for the burial of the poet Browning
Tuesday noon at Westminster abbey. The
grave will be just below Chaucer's tomb
and within few feet of Sponsors bones.
The poet will lie side by side with Abra-
ham Cowley, who died in 1867. The graves
in the abbey are about four feet deep; the
soil is dry and of red sand when the cof-
fins are placed in the earth quantity OF
charcoal is added as sanitary precaution.
One of the gruesome traditions of the abbey
is that nothing but handful of bones after
seventy or a hundred years remains.
Actual decomposition is accomplished
within half century.
The poets remains arrived in London at
o'clock on the morning of December 20.
With some difficulty hearse was obtained
and then the body was taken to the poets
London house in Devere gardens. A crown
composed of sprays of willow caves
wrought in metal and flowers eXquisitely
reproduced in porcelain, presented by the
municipality of Venice, accompanied the
body. Mr.. and Mrs. Browning, ir., and
Miss Browning, the poets sister, reached
London the same evening. One of the
most interesting and impressive things at
the funeral will be the hymn selected for
the occasion. This will be Mrs. Brown
ing's poem en- titled 1.-THE Sleep"
One of the unique memorials of the dead
poet is phonogram of his voice A fine
painting, by Rudolf Lehman. is now on
exhibition in London. The Venice town
council has voted to place tablet COM
memorative of the poet on Palazzo Rez-
zonco, where he died.

SENATOR GORuAN
Is Opposed to the Australian
Ballot System.
JEFFERSON DAVIS PRIVATE LIFE.
Samuel J. Randall is Very Low-The Ameri-
can Historical SOciety-FrOm Jest to
Earnest-Tippoo Tib.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 30.-The passage of
election laws containing. features of the
Australian ballot system is doomed in
Maryland At secret meeting of the
Democratic editors of the state here to
day, United States Senator Arthur P.
German sounded the key note. He is OPP
posed to the passage of the Australian law
by the general assembly, and he is opposed
to the passage of any law like it.
So are the majority of the Democratic
editors of the state. Said German: ''There
can be no question that a serious condition
of affairs confrontS US. The tide of immi-
grafton, the influences of men who are
coming hither, are all adverse to our views.
Our majorities, from natural causes are
growing less, and the want of thorough CO.
operation amongst our people has also cut
down our majorities. The elective franchise
has been abused, money has been poured out
to capture elections fraudulently. As for
the Australian system, you had better
label it bill to throw the Democratic
party in the rear. This system has had
two trials in this country. One was in
Boston; the other in Montana. The for
mer for years a Democratic stronghold,
went Republican at the last election under
the Australian system by between five and
SIX thousand majority for the first time
since 1864 Governor Houser writes
me from Montana that we should
have carried that state instead of
having it hanging in the balance.
The system that receives votes from in
fluences of men who leave their intelli-
gence to box, leaves him to the danger
of the money power. You pay voter, if
you pay him at all, in secret. By the
Australian system he is exposed to corrupt
influences of bribery more than ever.
Other matters to come before the legisla-
ture are of vital Importance, but this is the
one great thing to consider"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-At the second
days session of the American Historical

of the Smithsonian institution, read a
paper on the ''Origin and Early History
of our National Scientific Institutions"
Dr. William A. Dunning, of Columbia
college, followed by reading paper on the

ment proceedings the western people took
leading parts, while the eastern men were
luke warm. The explanation was that

succession in case Johnson was removed.
Wade was not hot favorite among eastern
meE.
General Marcus J. Wright, of the war
records Office, delivered an address on the
trial and execution of John Brown in con-
nection with the charge of DR.. Won Hoist
that Brown did not have a fair trial. Gen
eral Wright cited the evidence of Senator

Purported Cherokee Commission Report

ST.. LOUIS, Dec. 3O.-What purports to be
a synopsis of the Cherokee commissioners
report to Congress is printed here 1t
characterizes the dilatory tactics of the
Cherokees as a gross discourtesy to the
government and denounces the action of
the cattlemen in making fictitious bids for
Indian lands. The report recommends that
the government avail itself of its undenia-
BILE right, under section - of the treaty of
1886, to settle civilized Indians on unoccu-
pied lands in the Cherokee nation proper,
and the payment of such a sum as shall be
agreed upon by the Indians; or, in case of
their disagreement, the price per acre to be
fixed by the President BY the pay
ment of Sl,000,000 to the Cherokees
fully 100000 acres of land now occupied
by tribes west of 90 deg. long. could be
opened to settlement while on the other
hand 81 200, 900 expended for the Cherokee
outlet would only secure 100000 acres,
inferior in quality to the land now owned
Indians who have no title to the soil, but
only the right Of occupancy at the govern
ments pleasure. The commissioners also
suggests the opinion that the alleged
Cherokee nation with laws passed and
administered by white men who are really
United States citizens, has become extinct
by virtue of long continued intermarrIage
between Indians and whites, and asks if
strict sense of justice warrants the dis
position of Indian annuities and other rev
enue equally among white United States
citizens and full-blood Cherokees.

Difficulties With Canada.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3O.-The Senate COM
mittee on Canadian affairs met here to-day.
They heard the testimony of eastern fish
ermen in regard to the trouble they ex-
perienced in fishing and securing bait in
Canadian waters.
Senator Hoar stated that Great Britain
always conceded to the United States com
mercial rights of fishing vessels. He al
ways favored the Interpretation that the
right vested in American fishermen.
Senator Pugh declared that Great Britain
always acted in harmony with Canada
whenever the matter came up in the shape
of treaty or law. Our state department
should take steps at once to decide the
matter finally.
In reply to question by Dolph for a
remedy, one witness said the only remedy
he knew of was retaliation.
Erastus Wiman made an argument in
favor of annexing Canada.
Senator Hoar said in his opinion, and
that of his colleagues, the movement to-
ward annexation must come from Canada.
Francis Waylaud Glenn, former resi-
dent of Canada. and a member of the Do
minion parliament for nine years previous
to 1886, said: Canada will come here I'M
less the people of the United States them
selves prevent her. She sees milk and
money beyond tue SG' LaWrence anu sue
wants to share in it." Glenn in support of
his statement said that Canada had adopted
the free school system, decimal calculation
and election methods of the United Ctates,
and was more eager to accept American
business principles than she was
those of England. Canada also wanted
| free access to the American markets.
He held in fact that she would declare her
independence of English power and annex
with the United States. Witness did no.
favor commercial union of which Wiman
talked Many leading Canadians, the
speaker held, favored annexation. In
stead of reading English magazines, the
Canadians read American publications and
more Canadian youths are educated, he
said, in American colleges than in British
universities. He thought that Sir John
Macdonald was politician and not states

A MOST HORRIBLE SIGHT.
The Scene Presented at the Inquest on the
Bodies of Eight Murdered Negroes.

COLUMBUS, S. c., Dec. 3O.-The coroner's
inquest into the death of the eight negroes
lynched at Barnwell was held Saturday
night at the scene of the tragedy. 1t was
terrible sight which the jurymen looked
upon. On the left side of the road We're
the bodies of Ripley Johnson and Mitchell
Holmes, charged with the murder of Hef-
ferman. On the opposite side were the six
bodies of the negroes charged with implica-
ton in the murder of young Robert Martin.
They were tied to trees on the roadside
with their backs to the saplings. A rope
was passed around the trees and the bodies
of the men when they were shot. The
weight of their bodies had swung down on
the ropes and they occupied all sorts OF
grotesque and revolving positions. The
frightful character of the wounds shown
inquest is in brief as follows: Henry
FEM, ten balls in the body; age,
"a; Peter Bell, one ball in the back
of his neck at the base of the skull; aged
60; Harrison Johnson, four balls in the
body, aged 80; Rafe Morrall, six balls in his
head and body, either of which would have
been fatal, aged 60; Judge Jones, eight balls
in the brain, aged IS; Robert Phoenix, four
balls in his body, aged %; Ripley johnson,
eight balls in his body, one in his face;
Mitchell Adams, five balls, one through the
brain, aged 35. On this testimony the jury
gave verdict that the eight men came to
their deaths from gunshot wounds inflicted
by some party or parties unknown. After
the inquest, the negroes were notified that
they might remove the bodies if they de-
sired. The families of Ripley johnson and
Mitchell Adams removed their bodies to
their homes, but the other six remained
and were treated as murderers and out
casts and there was none to mourn them.
Neither white nor negroes wanted to re-
move the bodies. The town declines to
bury them because they were killed out
side the limits, but offers to furnish collins
if the negroes will bury them. The re-
manning negroes declare they propose to
pull up and leave the country. They assert
no retaliation

five appointed recently by the National
Civil Service Reform league to examine

first part of the coming year. The gen.
eral scheme of the movement" he contin-
ued, sis for the purpose of furnishing in
formation of every kind tending to show
people the beneficial character of civil SER
vice reform. We will certainly find some
things which need correction, and expect
to find much to attest the fact that civil
service reform is highly beneficial in its
nature to the public at large. AS soon as
the people understand this it is our expec
tation that they will not allow the move
action. but viii provide for it with the sin in

Captain O'Shea refused to discuss the mat

the Times. Neither the Times nor Mr.
Houston, he said, knew anything of the

" Blocks of Five Dudley.

New YORK, Dec. 3O.-Judge Lawrence,
Of the supreme court, handed down a short
opinion in chambers to-day, in which he
says, in effect, that Colonel William W.
Dudley, who is suing half a dozen New
York newspapers for alleged libel for the
publication of the blocks of five - letters,
cannot expect favors from the court when
he persistently refused to obey its orders.
This decision denies motion by the plain
tiff to vacate the order for substituted
service on him in order for his examination
before the trial to enable the defendant to
prepare an answer. The judge says as he
keeps without the territorial limits of the
state and refuses to obey the order of the
court, he cannot be heard affirmatively in
opposition to orders.
