CHICAGO, March 23.-Gen. Crooks
body is on its way to its last resting place
at Oakland, Maryland. From s o'clock
this morning until | O'Clock this after.
noon, a dense crowd Of people surrounded
the Grand Pacific hotel and struggled to
obtain an entrance to take a last view of
the dead soldier. Through the parlor,
where the remains lay in state, silent
thousands passed, until as the time OF SER
vice drew near, the police were stationed
at the foot of the >stairways to stop the
movement of the people.
The parlor5 aud halls on the second
floor were crowded TO s~uffocat;on when
Rev. DR.. Mcpherson delivered the open
ing prayer. 1t is doubtful il any Jun
eral in Chicago brought a larger concourse
of people.
AT the close OF the prayer the uuartette
of the Second Presbyterian church sang
and were followed by Rev. DR.. Thomas,
who quoted from the Goth Psalm and u
chapter from Job in the course Of his
briet remarks. Prof. Swing then deliv
cred a most eloquent tribute to the dead
I general. Alter another song by the quar-
tette DIR. Mcpherson spoke at length, and
DR.. Clinton Locke closed the services with
the benediction.
Mrs. Crook took Capt. Kings arm aud
took a last look at the dead She was
then driven to the BIlrimore & Ohio de-
pot and the casket was removed to the
cltafnldue aud the procession moved
slowly to the depot between Clark and
Washington streets. The sidewalks for
the whole distance were densley crowded
with people.
The car on the train containing the cas-
ket was covered with black, while the
interior was draped with American flags.
The special Pullman for Mrs. Crook and
the escort was heavily draped outside in
black loops with narrow bands OF white.
A painful incident OF the services at
the Grand Pacific was the report that
Gen Crook aged brother, Walter Crook
of Dayton, OHIO, had suffered a fatal
stroke Of paralysis in the rOtunda Of the
hotel. This caused a great sensation,
and precautions were taken to keep the
news from reaching the already broken
down wi ow of the soldier. Investiga-
ton soon proved the report to be err
roneous. MI. Crook is rather feeble and
pushed around in the dense crowd he be
came so faint for a time that he was un
able to move, but soon recovered when
taken to his room.
OAKLAND, Md, March "a The re
mains of Gen. Crook arrived here at 10
this morning. The proces sion formed and
marched to the cemetery, where the exer
cises attending the burial carried out &C
cordIng to programme.

amount of capital that can be aggregated
In any corporation the trouble would con
tlnue. The bill, he said, would apply to
the Farmers Alliance and the National
Farmers League, which were organized
with the avowed purpose of increasing
the prices of farm products, a thing which
he regarded as most desirable and as alb
solutely essential to the prosperity OF the
country. He was extremely anxious to
take hold of and control those great
trusts and combinations of capital which
were disturbing the IN of the
country. He did not want, however, to
go to the extent of interfering with or.
carnations which he thought were ALSO
lutely justified by the remarkable cobdi-
ton of things IN this country. He re-
ferred to the Knights of Labor as another
organization which would come within
the scope OF the bill, because the object OF
the order was to increase their wages and
consequently increase the cost of produc
ton Teller admitted that tie Knights
of Labor and all trades unions of the
country were practically included in the
bill and suggested To the committee
which reported the bill whether it coull
not be so worded as to confne it to trusts
that we're offensive to good morals.
The discussion then drifted to amend
ments offered by ingalls, aimed at deal.
inRs in futures" and options
Sherman opposed it as not 10 harmony
with the bill and as proposing a tax
which could not originate in the senate.
and as not having been considered by the
committee. He also opposed Reagan's
amendment.
Stewart said the bill was unconstitu
tional.
Hoar criticised the bill in some of its
legal aspects, and claimed it failed to
afford any adequate remedy
Sherman said if the duty on cotton
cloths or wooden cloths was too low to
protect the manufacturers of Massachu-
sets. not a month or a day would be
allowed to pass before Hoar would de
mand a.remedy 10 the way of raising the
duty. Here was a remedy for a greater
wrong than any that resulted from a low
tariff. The farmers associations through
out the country could not remove the
source of the evil. but they demand a
remedy and their demand had to be heard.
The power of congress WAS the only
power that could deal with those corpora
lions.
George asked Sherman whether the
Standard Oil Co. was not a corporation
under the laws of Ohio. and whether the
legislature of that state could not annul
its charter.
Sherman replied that the Standard
OIL Co. originally organized with the
modest capital of 81, 200. 600, but there
were forty or fifty companies in other
states combined with it. He had been in
favor of a general law declaring certain
contracts null aud void. but had modified
the proposition to meet the views of 9th
ers. who thought he was going too far,
and now the objection to the bill was its
weakness, but it was a weakness drawn
into the bill by objections made in the
senate.
Vest aud Hiscock smoke against the
bill, which went over till tomorrow with
out action. After an executive session
the senate adjourned.
