The weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1891-1894, 1891-10-10

BRUSSELS. Oct. 3.-Vast crowds Of
persons congrcgatcd along the roads
traversed by the cortege of Gen. Bou-
LANCER. A decorous silence was observed
by the throngs as the hearse passed on
its way to the last resting place and most
of the persons in the crowd uncovered
their heads.
At the entrance to the cemetery the
advance of the funeral procession was
delayed by the actions Of a mob which
had gathered at that place and was
roughly crowding about the gates seek
ing admittance to the graveyard to wit
ness the last scenes. Gcndarmes who
were detailed for duty after considerable
eXertion succeeded in clearing
the passage and the grave
was at length reached. The coffin was
then taken from the hearse and lowered
into the grave. There were no religious
services whatever and no speeches were
made. The only ceremony, if ceremony
it may be called, was performed by NJ.
Deroulede who, taking up the t~ricolor,
put the flag to his lips and placed it on
the coffin at the anne time eXclaiming,
Farewell, my friend" This was the
only incident worthy of note in connec-
ton with the interment. When the
earth had been thrown on the coffin and
the sods above the grave arranged by
cemetery employees the friends of the
dead general returned to their homes.

Liberal ~Englishnlen.

NEwCASTLE, Oct. AFTER a most busy
day yesterday and busting night the
great liberal congress or annual meeting
of national liberal federation formally re-
assembled this morning. TT. Hon. Sir
George Trevelyan introduced a resolu-
ton condemnlng registration laws, which,
the resolution declared, excluded many
really qualified voters from going to the
polls. The resolution further declared
in favor of shorter sessions Of parliament;
that elections should be held upon the
same day. and recognized the principle
of paving members OF the house of com
mons as being the only means of secur-
ing an adcqtatc representation Of the
working class in parliament. All the
proposals met with the approval of the
delegates and were unanimously passed.
Sir Wilfred Lawson submitted a set of
resolutions reaiiirming the declarations
of the council of the national liberal fed

to have headed the anti-eviction fund

strongly disappearing of attacks that
have been made upon them, and stating
that, having inquired into the charges
made against the executive of the league,
he is satisfied there are utterly without
foundation"
President Fitzgerald, replying, said
the members of the executive could not
conceal their establishment at the tenor
of the communication to them: "We
cannot but dissent from the supposition
that American politics have in any way
interfered with or complicated
the administration of the league.
The record shows that while
members of the executive were of differ
ent political affiliations, they were unani-
nous in their resolve to prevent any
such interference with the government
of the league AS to undesirability OF
central organization in America, that is
a question which pertains exclusively to
your jurisdiction.

CHICAGO, Oct. Probably no more

than the report today laid before the
delegates to the Irish National League
of America by John Sutton, secretary of

Office at the convention held in Chicago
in August, 1886. President John Fitz-
gerald was declared elected by three
fourths of the assembled delegates. A
treasurer and secretary were reelected
with opposition. There was at that con
vention al element of dlscord but

men who loved the cause too
dearly to prostitute it at the shrine OF
lactlonism they were powerless to mar
the harmony of that great gathering OF
lrishmen which would not and could
not listen to men whose whole stock in
trade was making charges and failing to
prove them. President Fitzgerald re-
turned to his western home in the full
belief that the great organized body OF
irish-Americans stood behind him united
like brothers in the holy cause Of Irish
liberty. He found his mistake. Like

still nobler Lord Edward, he founC

AN ANTI-HILL COMMITTEE.
Mr. Hill Had No Influence in the Recent
Democratic Convention.

Mr.. Hill Had No Influence in the Recent
Democratic Convention.
There appears to be general lmsunderstand-
ing as to the complexion of the New York DEM
ocratic committee and as to the general char
actec of the convention which nominated
Mr.. Flower for governor. The fact
that the controlling influence in the
convention and in the appointment of the
committee was that represented by Murphy
and Croker has led to the general statement
that everything is in the hands of Mr.. Hill
A gentleman who is thoroughly familiar
with the New York situation and who has
been talking with the men who ran the conven-
tiOn assured a STAR reporter today that Mr..
Hill had no say in the convention, and that
while the majority of the committee men
are those who have long been associated
with Hill, very small minority of
them are for Hill now. Both Croker and
Murphy, he said, are at outs with Hill and the
influence they exert is all anti-Hill. He
added that Mr.. Hill tried to get the
silver plank in the platform to serve his
ambition for the democratic presiden-
tial nomination and sent a representative
to the convention with the plank he wanted
adopted, but that he failed utterly, Croker and
the other leaders working for the adoption of
the plank which WAS presented by the Cleve-
land folks and was afterward adopted.
