The bodies were removed to the hearses
and the funeral procession was formed,
the cortege moving slowly to Rock Creek
cemetery. just beyond the soldiers home
where the bodies were placed in receiv-
ing vault to await Secretary Vracy's de
termination IN regard to their permanent
resting place. Secretary Tracy did not go
10 the cemetery as IL was feared the task
might prove toe much for his strength.
The president occupied carriage with
Mr.. Frank Tracy. A long line OF carriages
containing nearly all of those who attended
the services AT the white house, followed
the remains 10 the cemetery.
The procession moved all the way to the
cemetery In double line. As II entered
the gates and drove slowly along the drives
overshadowed with pine branches there
were crowds OF spectators OF either side of
the road. The course was directly toward
the public vault and here the long line
haulted as the two hearses stopped before
the open vault. The sailors stepped for
ward at the word from their commanding
officer and took the caskets forth and laid
them carefully down on stands placed be-
side the door of the vault
Mr. Frank Tracy, leaning on the arm Of
the president, stood beside the body OF his
sister. He was deeply moved. Mrs Har-
rison stood directly behind them. and In
the small circle that stood hear were
several of the relatives and friends OF the
family After the services OF the dead had
been given the bodies were laid away in
the vault, which was almost filed wiki
flowers.

THAT ABSURD RUMOR.
The Thought OF Removing Rock ISL
and Arsenal Ridicuied in washing

The Thought OF Removing Rock ISL
and Arsenal RidicuIed in washing
ton.
II Is unnecessary to comment to any
very great extent on the rumors noted In
yesterdays ARGUS as coming from st.
Louis to the effect that there was a posi-
bility of moving Rock Island arsenal to
FIT. Lesvenworth. Kansas. The report
it may not be amiss to guess. had its or
igin with the chief of ordnance, who, too,
most likely frst proposed the idea of
locating military prison on the island,
Anything to depTeciate the Importance
and magnitude of Rock Island arsenal is
the evident policy of the chief of ord
nance. But the Chicago Tribune's
Washington correspondent disposes of the
removal rumor;
The statement that the Rock Island
arsenal is to be transferred to Fort Leav-
euworth when the headquarters of the
department of Missouri are moved to st.
Louis is regarded here as absurd. In the
first place 1t is by no means certain that
the department of Missouri headquarters
are to be transferred to ST. Louis. The
change has not yet been approved by the
authorities here, and as far as can be as
Certaiped there is no immediate Intention
of doing so. In the next place there are
no facilities at Fort Leavenwcrth for an
ordnance arsenal, and none could be fur
nished without liberal appropriation.
With the expensive buildings and excel
lent equipments at Rock Island for its
present purposes. such a change as stated
is considered the height of folly by Off,
GERS here.
An army official said tonight that
no decision has yet been reached
by the war department officials ia re-
gard 10 the removal of the headquar-
tiers of the department of the Missouri
from Fort Leavenworth Gen. MerrItt's
request for a change of base will un
dOubtedly be complied with. for il is
quite manifest to the department officials
that there is too much friction between
him and Col. McCook for a proper and
harmonious admins ration of army affairs
at Fort Leavenworth. With St. Louis
and Kansas City both fighting to obtain
the headquarters the department has not
been able 10 decide which one shall have
it. A delegation from the former city
called at the war Office today to present
their claims. AS Gen. Merritt is inclined
to favor this station it is not unlikely
that their Efforts will be successful.

CoNsTANrISoPLE. May 23-It has been ascer-
tanned that the ladies belonging to the Russian
embassy who were assaulted while walking at
Buyukdere were not the daughter of the
dragoman Of the embassy and her governess,
but his wife and daughter. Neither were the
offenders Turkish soldiers as at first stated. but
were Turkish officer and five students. The
ladies were walking in garden when they
were seized by the officer and students. who
iorcibly kissed them. A party of sailors
belonging to Russian dispatch boat hap
pened to be in the garden. They
heard the ladies cry for help and ran
to their rescue. They captured four of the
assallants, but the fifth succeeded IN making
his escape for the time being. The sailors
conveyed their prisoners to the Russian en-
bassy and delivered them into the keeping Of
NJ. DE Nelidof. the Russian ambassador. The
day after the assault was committed the man
who made his escape was arrested and locked
up at the embassy where his companions are
still detained.
The Turkish authorities asked that the pris-
oners be turned over to them for trial and
punishment, but NJ. DE Nelidoff refuses to
transfer them to the Ottoman officials. basing
his refusal on the ground that Turkish justice
is illusory
The affair has created much comment and
it is feared that it will result in complications
between the Russian and Turkish governments.

KEMMLER's LAST HOPE GONE.
The United States Supreme Court Denies
the Application for a Writ of Error.

The Supreme Court of the United States to-
day denied the application for writ of error
IN the case OF William Kemmler under SEN
tence OF death by electricity in New York.
Chief Justice Fuller delivered the decision.
The opinion first recites the proceedings in
the lower courts leading up to the bringing of
the case to this court. The court says that it
is urged in Kemmler's behalf that the four-
teenth amendment isa prohibition on the state
OF the imposition of cruel and unusual punish
ment, this being included in the term ..dua
process of law" The origin of the phrase
''CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT"
the court said, was in the English act of settle
ment of 1888 and meant that barbarous meth.
DDS of punishment should not be in fiicted. II
meant that a man should not he sen-
not mean that the death penalty itself
was cruel. The court of apneaIs
the:opinion says, held that the punishment in,
fiicted on Kemmler was unusual, but there was
no evidence to show that it was cruel The
legislature Of New York had the facts bearing
upon this question. and the court must pre,
sumo that the legislature had devised punish-
ment it thought
LESS CRUEL THAN THE FORMER MODE.
That decision, the court says, was not aaainst
any special privilege set up by the prisoner.
and was 80 plainly right that the court ropld
not be justified in overruling it. The four-
teenth amendment did not materially change
the whole theory of the goyernment
Citizens still remain citizens both of the
state and Of the United States. The onlv
change is that the amendment furnishes an
additional guarantee against encroachment nv
the state upon the fundamental rights of the
ci:izenA The privileges and immunities of
citizens of the United States are, indeed. pro-
tected by them. Those are the privileges aris.
ing out of the essential nature and Character Of
the national government. The court quotes
the opinion in the Hurtado case ON the mean
ing Of the phrase
''DUE PROCESS OF LAW"
The change in form of death was within The
legitimate sphere OF the legislative power of
the state. The legislature Of the state of New
York determined that it did not infiict cruei
and unusual punishment, and its courts have
sustained that determination. This court can
not see that the prisoner has been deprived Of
due process of law. In order to reverse
the judgment this court should be Compelled
to hold that the court Of appeals had Committed
an error 30 gross rs to deprive the prisoner of
his constitutional rights. The court has no
hesitation in saying it cannot do this.
