WALT WHITMAN BURIED.
Remains of the Old Poet Placed in this
Tomb at Camden.

CAMDEN, n. j., March 31.-The body
of Walt Whitman was consigned to the
tomb built under his direction in Har-
leigh cemetery, in the outskirts of Cam
den, during the afternoon. The day
was such one as the poet would have
chosen for the last rites over his immor-
tai spirit. Birds carolled joyously in
the trees, and the warm spring sunshine
flooded the earth. Long before II
o'clock, the hour at which the remains
were to be exposed to public view a
crowd began to gather in front of the
plain little frame house at 32S Mickle
street, where the poet passed the last
eighteen years of his life. When the
door was opened they began passing
in through the little front parlor around
the casket, which rested on pedastals in
the adjoining room. For over two
hours the solemn procession kept on it's
way and in all about 2, 800 people looked
at the poets face for the last time.
AT 2 o'clock the body was taken to
Harlelgh cemetery, in the outskirts of
Camden and a public funeral service
held. AS Whitman himself had wished,
no clergyman participated in the exer
cises. The service was begun with the
reading of the scriptures and the dead
poets works by Francis Howard Will
Hams, of Philadelphia. Addresses were
then made by Thomas B. Harden, Of
Camden; DR.. Daniel G.. Brinton, of
Philadelphia, and DR.. r. NJ. Buck, of
London, Ont, the friend and biog-
rapher Of Whitman. Colonel Robert
G. IngerSoll made the concluding ad-
dress, which was an eloquent eulogium
of the dead poets life and his service
to2 the cause of democracy. The body
was then consigned to the tomb, which
was constructed under Whitman's
direction three years ago.

Quoting the proceedings.
There was also some discussion over
article Il of the treaty, which provides
that "the decision of the tribunal shall,
if possible, be made within three months
from the close of the argument on both
sides" Several senators thought the
time allowed the arbitrator for decis-
ion should be longer and as there was
no objection to this the time was ex.
tended to four months.
After discussion over this point and
some others of minor Importance the
treaty was ratified without further
change by a yea and nay vote, and reso-
lutions informing the president of its
ratification and removing the injunction
