SURGEONS FUNERAL.
Tribute of the English People to TIN
Memory of the Great Preacher.

Tribute of the English People to the
Memory of the Great Preacher.
LONDON, Feb. 12.-All that is mortal
of Charles Haddon Spurgeon has been
laid TO rest in Norwood cemetery, and
the interment OF the once great divine
was made the occasion for such an un-
UNCONVENTIONAL demonstration as prob
ably has never before been seen in the
united kingdom. The funeral services
yesterday were very simple, being con.
fined to prayers, the singing OF appro-
pirate hymns and brief addresses by
Rev. James Sturgeon and Rev. DIR.
Pierson.
AT the conclusion of the last prayer
and while the benediction was being
pronounced the lid was placed upon
the coffin and il was removed to
the hearse in waiting. Then the
solemn procession moved to Norwood
cemetery. One hundred carriages fol-
lowed the hearse, and behind these
came torrent of people on foot, filling
the roadway and the sidewalks and
extending back farther than the
eye could reach. II was estimated
that not less than 20, 900 people thus
paid mute testimony to the memory OF
the great preacher At the grave
there was a short prayer, the hymn
"A bide with Me" WAS sung and the
casket was lowered to its last resting
place.

THE COLOReD CONTINGENT.
Harrison Hastens to Deny Alleged Dis
elimination Against IL.


WASHINGTON, ID. c., February 1.-THE
statements made in local morning paper
in special dispatch from Atlanta con-
corning the wishes of the President as to
the character of the delegates ne would
prefer to go TO the Minneapolis convention
are emphaticaiiy denied at the White
house to-day. Ii was alleged that MIR. Il:
ii. Shiel. of Indianapolis. personal friend
of the President, IN an interview published
in Atlanta, is reported to have gwen ex-
preston 10 the Presidents desires III this
regard IN such way that il was inferred
generally that he was speaking on behalf
of Mr.. Harrison. The understanding, ac-
cordng TO Mr.. Shells statement. was
that the President wanted the Republican
delegation to te composed OF white busl-
ness-nen, and that no Federal Office hold.
els should be sent TO the convention.
This statement was shown To Private
Secretary Haltord this morning. and he SAID
that OF course there was no authority tor
1t. MIR. Shiel has not seen the President
for long time" said Mr.. Halford, and
did not see him before he went South, and
from what / know of him, am quite sure
he is not correctly reported. SO tar from
drawing the race line. no one who knows
the President and Is at all familiar with
his attitude towards the colored people
would for u moment suppose he ever en-
tertalned an idea Oh discriminating against
them.
with respect to sending delegates TO the
National Convention the President has
never made an utterance on the subject.
II is manifest that such things must be
left to the good judgment of the party,
and that no ironclad rule could be adopted.
Republicans everywhere will recognize the
propriety Of leaving the people free TO
send 20 the convention those who would
best represent the sentiment and desires OF
the party. Moreover. l have just received
a letter from Atlanta saying that Mr.. Shiel
never made the statement imputed TO him,
but that what he did say was that in his
own personal judgment 1t would be well
90 have the delegation composed mostly of
businessmen, and that this statement was
made solely on his own authority.
