The entire party, headed by the president and Mrs. Blaine, proceeded to the end of the platform and stood with heads uncovered while the casket contain ing the remains were removed from the car and placed on stand prepared for it. It was taken in charge by eight members of Company B, Treasury National Guard, in uniform under Lieutenrnt Moore and borne slowly to the hearse through pas sage way, the railroad train forming one side and long line of people the other. Attorney General Miller, Secretary Tracy, Solicitor Hepburn and the committee of the New York board of trade who accom- panied the remains from New York were among the first passengers to alight from the train. They immediately joined the group surrounding the president.
 The committee was composed of the fol lowing gentlemen: Messrs. Ambrose Snow, Darwin R. James, James Talcott, F. B. Thurber, w. H. Wiley, Seth Thomas and Norman s. Bentley. When all was in readiness @ procession was formed and moved out in the following order: The body bearers with the casket on their shoulders, the president and Mrs. Blaine, the president and secretary of state, the secretary of war and the postmaster gene ral, Rev.

 Carriages were provided for all, and the cortege headed by two mounted policemen moved slowly by way of Pennsylvania avenue, Vermont avenue and Massachu- setts avenue to the secretary's late resi- dence, where the stricken family were sadly awaiting it's arrival. The militia men again took up their precious burden and carried it into the house through a crowd of people who reverently bowed their heads as it passed. The president and all of his official family followed the remains into the house and waited in the
 
 assistants placed the body in the front parlor and opened the top half of the lid so as to expose to view the secretary's familiar features.
 Mrs. Blaine remained with the president and was the only lady present when the latter and all the members oi his cabinet and the others who had accompanied the remains from the station were ushered into the chamber of deatI and looked upon the cold, unmoved face of their distinguished associate. The scene was a sad one and brought tears tc the eyes of several of the distinguished party. Nothing was said, however, an6 the party passed out of the house as quick ly as they had entered. When the room was cleared the bersaved widow and he1 daughters visited it in private and re- mained there in sorrow for about five minutes. They were nearly distracted with grief but bore themselves with un looked-for composure. While MT. Win dom was kneeling over the casket sobbine convulsively the British minister appeared at the front door and left message of con dolence for the family.
 The transfer of the remains from tn station to the house was made quietly ant with as little effort at display as possible The great esteem felt for the deceased however, was shown by the size and char acter of the crowd that turned out to hono l his memory.
