1t is estimated that 10. 900 negroes from the
country came into Memphis yesterday to at
tend the funeral Of the men who were lynched
on Wednesday morning, and by noon the
church where the services were held was filed.
BY o'clock the.street on which it is located
WAS jammed with negroes of both sexes and all
ages. The police feared that the funeral would
break out into riot and strong force was
held IN reserve at the station house. Officers
in citizens'clothes mingled with the crowds and
kept a sharp lookout over the more prominent
negroes. The bodies were brought to the
church in hearses and as the nrst came in
sight low vail broke from the crowd As
soon as the first coffin was taken into the
church the congregation broke into a hymn
and the tune was taken up by the thousands of
negroes in the church and In the street.
''On, Lord, have mercy on us!' WAS the first
ejaculation Of the preacher, and IA loud amen"
went up from every throat. Abe discourse
lasted one hour, but the preacher was very
temperate in his remarks. He had been warned
by the authorities to do nothing that might
cause an outbreak. The bodies were taken to
a negro cemetery beyond the city limits and
they were followed by the longest procession
ever seen in Memphis. The better class OF
negroes rode in carriages. while the others util-
lied wagons, carts and cotton drays. 1t 10 now
asserted that the leaders OF the mob were dep
uty sheriffs. Judge Dubose has expressed his
determination to bring the authors a the
lynching to justice.

dens imposed on the national city" 1t has

would seem then high time that the .techni-
cality" which keeps them apart should
cease and that the citizens Of the two places,

should submit to Congress the draft OF short
act by which all that part of the District known
as Georgetown should become part of the
city of Washington and that all laws and ordi-
nances in force IN that part of said District
should continue in force therein until other
wise ordered by Congress, and that the names
OF the streets and avenues (now bearing double
titles) should be made to conform legally in

A FEELING OF RESENTMENT.
1t is Growing Up In Congress Agains. Csrrea
Britain's Attitude.

y
Britain's Attitude.
The attitude assumed by the British foreign
Office and by the British press appears to be
exciting very genera! feeling Of antagonism
and resentment in Congress. Ii is generally
asserted that Lord Salisbury is ngaged in trying
to make political capital out of the Berinz sea
affair. and the democrats accuse Mr. Harrison
Of n similar object. At the same time il BE-
generally agreed that active measures must be
taken to protect the American rights. The
President has the powor to do all that is neces-
sary TO guard the seals against poachers without
any authorization by Congress. The only ques-
ton that can arise is whether the istrstion
wants to run the risk of a rupture with Great
Britain. II We have any rights IN the matter il
seems hardly probable that the question Of
what may be the consequence OF main tanning
those rights will consume much time in con-
sideration.
great many men in Congress think hat
the Senate should not take into account the
question OF whether or not the modus IL re-
newed. and should leave il to the adminissra-
ton TO protect the fisheries In any wsy that
may be most effectively agreement with
Great Britain or by force.
Canada is held 10 the mother country bv but
n slender thread. and the British ministry is
compelled 70 make some show of doing what
the Canadians desire in this matter in order 70
hold their loyalty. 1t is regarded a.
| hardly probable. however. that England
will permit herself 20 be dragged into a war.
1t Is expected that the situation may develop
more serious aspects than It nov shows but
that England will stop short Of the sticking
point. She cannot well afford 10 run the risk
of complications in Europe which would arise
at once upon the outbreak Of hostilities with
this country.
