Boston, August 14.-Simple but i'm
pressive funeral services oyer the re-
mains of the late James Russell Lowell
were held in Appleton chapel, Cam
bridge, at noon today. The chapel was
crowded TO. over-fowing, and many were
unable to get in. Seldom is there wit
messed such gathering of those distin
guished in literary and other professions
as gathered to pay last tribute of love
and respect to the deceased author,
critic, poet and diplomatist.
There were no services at Elmwood,
the poets lake home. Shortly
after IL O'Clock the funeral
procession moved into the
church. Mrs. Burnett, in the deepest
mourning was escorted by her oldest
son, and the rest of her children came
next, followed by the nurses and SER
wants. Bishop Pillipps Brooks and Rev.
William Lawrence, dean of the Episco-
pal theological school, of Cambridge,
met the remains in the vestibule. Rev.
Mr.. Lawrence read: II am the resur-
rection and the Life" as they preceded
with the casket down the church.
The honorary pall-bearers were DR..
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Christopher
Cranch, John Holmes, Professor Charles
Elliott Norton, Professor Child, G. F.
Choate, George William Curtis, William
Dean Howells, Professor John Bartlett
and President G. Elliott, of Harvard
university. The coffin, which was born

DIsGUsrED FISHERMEN.
Salmon Catchers at Kodiak Island Com
Home on a Strike.

Salmon Catchers at Kodiak Island Come
Home on a Strike.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 14.-The bark
Nicholas Thayer, which arrived last
night from Kodiak, with cargo of sal
mon, brought down 1856 fishermen who
struck because the canneries refused to
take all the salmon caught, the men
claiming that this was the agreement
under which they shipped. tits claimed
by those interested in the canneries.
that the agreement was to take 72l, 900
fish per day, and had they accepted
more the over supply would
have to be thrown away. The canneries
could not stand the loss. The fisher
men state that the run was compare
lively poor one at the beginning of the
season. The strike, it is expected, will
have an important effect on the output
of the Kodiak canneries this season, as
but sixteen fishermen remain in that
vicinity. The canneries will endeavor
to procure fishermen from the other
islands.

NO DICKER.
THE SUPERVISORS WILL NOT BUY
SCALE BUG FUMIGATOR.
Proceedings Yesterday of the Board-The
Brown Road-Report of the Committee
on the Scale Bug Patent Fumigator.

At the meeting of the board OF super
visors yesterday, warrant was ordered
drawn ,on motion of Supervisor Hubbard,
for SAT- 80 in favor OF Walter Lindley,
superintendent of the Whittier Reform
school, on account OF the board, tuition,
etc., for which this county is indebted
according to the statute.
By resolution it was decided to leave
the matter of the condemnation of the
Brown road, on which suit has already
been brought against Anton Guirado,
to three arbitrators to settle the amount
of damages, one to be selected by each
side and one by the two already chosen.
Thomas E. Rowan was selected to act
in behalf Of the county.
The report OF the special committee
consisting of Supervisors Perry and For
roster, appointed to confer with the
Orange county supervisors in regard to
the purchase of the scale bug fumigat-
ing process patent, presented the follow
ing report which was adopted:
"To the Board of Supervisors:
"GENTLEMEN.--Your committee in
structed to proceed to Santa Ana for the
purpose OF conferring with the board of
supervisors of Orange county in regard
to the purchase of a certain patent for
fumigating trees, beg leave to report,
that w. 7. Williams, of San Bernardino
county, and Jas. l.. Jones, of San Diego
county, accompanied us there. We met
three members of the board of supervis-
ors OF Orange county, also Messrs.
Bishop, Wall and Jones and Mr.. Hiram
Hamilton, horticultural commissioner
of said county.
Supervisor Armour of Orange coun-
ty, stated that the fruit-growers of his
locality had not requested the purchase
OF said patent that Mr.. Travis, one of
the most thorough, painstaking and in
telllgent orange growers in the country
had treated his trees with rosin wash
and with good results; that the use of
gas was much more expensive and while
he could get as good results as he had
had SO far, he would not pay the extra
cost for use of gas,
The result or conclusion of our dis
cussion there was to the effect that
spraying with rosin would have good
effects on small trees, but on large ones
with thick foliage it would not be
effective. The board of supervisors of
Orange county claim that they do not
feel justified in such expenditures for
the benefit of fruitgrowers in which
their agriculturists are not equally
benefited. They said that if it was of
value and the fruit-growers wanted it,
they should purchase it themselves.
The result of our investigation was
the unanimous conclusion of your COM
mlttee and Messrs. Collins and Jones
that it was not wise or practicable for
the several counties to unite in the pur-
chase of the Bishop PATENT:
On motion of Supervisor Forester it

official statement has been made regard
ing the action of the conference OF the
