CuICAGo's DEAD MAYOR.
Remains of Carter Harrison Borne to

the City Hall.
CHICAGO, Oct 3l.-The remains of the
late Mayor Harrison were borne to the
City Hall to-day to lie in state. Dense
crowds thronged the streets and the side
walks for blocks around the Harrison
mansion on Ashland Boulevard previous
to the start. In the main it was not
fashionable throng, but was such one as
in life he liked to move among and speak
with.
A solemn stiffness prevailed as eight
stalwart Fire Department captains
emerged, bearing the coffin. Eight po-
lice captains followed, sharing the honors
as pail bearers.
The cortege was long one and the dis
tance to the City Hall, through the heart
of the city, two miles, consumed con-
siderable time. The utmost simplicity
characterized the march to the City Hall.
The hearse was a perfectly plain black
vehicle, with no nodding plumes, and no
music resounded above the tread of feet
following the remains. Meantime a
great throng had gathered about the City
Hall OF men, women and children. AS
the cortege appeared hats were dotfed in
reverent silence, and as the hearse
Chopin's funeral march resounded from
band on the steps. AS the casket was
borne within Sobs were heard on every
side.
The casket was deposited on catafal-
que in the main corridor, surrounded by
floral offerings. The doors were opened
and seemingly an endless stream of
people began moving past in two lines.
All day long they passed rapidly, SEEM
ing as if they would continue all night if
permitted. They looked upon face
quite natural in the peacefulness of death.
The dead Mavor looked as if sleeping
The funeral will take place tomorrow
morning from the Church of Epiphany,
on Ashland boulevard. An hour before
the services the remains will be taken
from the City Hall to the church. The
funeral procession will proceed from the
church to Graceland Cemetery. The
column will be large one, many socie-
ties having applied for place in the line.
The public schools, Board of Trade,
bHnks and other places of business will
be closed tomorrow out of respect to the
dead.
Prendergast, Harrison's murderer, is

To-day the assassin seemed for the first
time to realize his position. All along he
has apparently labored under the de-
lusion that his companions in crime
would look up TO him. But to-day he
seemed to understand that he is abhorred

Special to the REcoRp-uN1oN.

MADRID, Oct 81 The steamship
Africa, from Melilla. arrived at Malaga
to-day, and brought information that
General Ortega had succeeded in reliev-
ing the garrisons OF Rostrogordo and
Cabrerizas. The Moors continue to make
desultory attacks upon the Spanish lines.
They are busily at work constructing
trenches, and have advanced to within
six hundred yards of the Spanish fortiti-
cations, in spite of the fire OF the forts,
which is continuously directed upon
them. 1t is thought that the Moors will
make another attack on the Spanish
forces before the reinforcing troops ar
rive there, as it was noticed when the
Africa sailed, that detachments of Moors
were arriving to reinforce the already
immense horde of native troops sur
rounding the Spaniards. The soldiers at
Fort Camalos are in the worst position,
as being the most exposed to the Arab
attack. 1t is no longer denied that the
Arabs and Moors around Melilla are now
besieging the Spaniards, and the latter
have all they can do to hold their own.
Every day which elapses without the
arrival OF relnfOrcements increases the
gravity of the situation, and it will force
Spain to send more men to the front, if
she desires to drive those fighting tribes
men from the hills.
LATER-A special dispatch Just received
here from Melilla caused quite commo-
ton. The exact facts in connection with
the dispatch were not made public, but
enough is known to warrant the asser-
ton that the military officers are dis
cussing the great difference existing be-
tween the reports of the number killed
and wounded in the last battle before
Melilla, as given out from official sources.
and those just received. The latter assert
that at least 100 Spaniards were killed,
and that more than 100 were wounded.
and that over 100 were captured, while
others are reported missing. The fate of
the wounded, captured and missing is
said to be too terrible to contemplate. ii
view of the shocking manner in which a
number of the wounded have already
been known to have been mutilated.

sentenced to Serve Seven Years. I'M
prisonment at san Quentin.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 31.-Colonel E. X.
Royce received his sentence to-day for
embezzling the funds of the Veterans
Home Association. There was no plea
for mercy, no fowery language, but the
simple sentence of seven years in the
State Prison.
Royce, who has been confined in the
County Jail since his conviction, was
dressed in his best black suit. When
commanded to stand up he did so with
alacrity, and held his head detiantly erect.
There was no trace of shame for his
crime or fear for the consequences, and
the words of the Judge, ''It is the iudg-
ment of this court that you be imprisoned
in the State Prison at San Quentin for the
term of seven years." apparently made
not the slightest impression on him.
Then he sat down and listened closely
while his attorney asked stay of execu-
ton and writ of probable cause to the
Supreme Court. The court took the mat
ter under advisement for ten days.

Considerable Uneasiness in Europe
Over the Present Situation.
BERLIN, Oct. 31.-There is no disguis-
ing the fact that considerable uneasiness
exists in Europe at the present situation
of the Powers, and this uneasiness is in
creasing as the nature of the Franco-Rus-
sian alliance becomes known. The Ham
burger Ndch11chten, in an article which
the best informed people assert is at least
instigated by Bismarck, accounts for the
Russian reply to French advances on the
ground that Russia will be driven into
the arms of France by the growing sus-
picions of Germany's intimacy with Eng
land. 1t says ''the Dreibund in no way
threatens Russia, but as soon as Russia
became suspicious that it's influence
would be exercised in defense of Eng
lands anti-Russian interests, Russia's re-
sentiment was Immediately aroused"
The Ndchricbte7t also makes the assertion
that a secret treaty exists between Russia
and Italy by which the former agrees to
mediate in Italy's favor in Paris, under
certain contingencies.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3l.-There was decided
diminution in the attendance at the fair
to-day. Though it was officially closed
last night, the gates are still open and the
attractions are unchanged. 1t is evident
that Chicagoans have about completed
their visits and that the outside world had
made its calculations to depart when the
official end came, not anticipating that
the gates would continue to swing on
their hinges.
Some of the exhibitors will go direct to
the Midwiuter Fair at San Francisco. A
number of the Midway Plaisance attrac-
tions are going there. Others are going
to the Augusta Exposition at Augusta,
Ga, which opens November 14th and
continues until December 18th. The
managers OF the last-named exposition
have arranged with some who have been
retained by the California people to- go to
Augusta first and proceed thence to the
Pacific Coast.
The exhibitors are not scrambling to
get away Preparations are going on in
all buildings ready for moving, but SO
quietly that visitors are not annoyed.
The Plaisance people are hard to move.
Some of them say they are going to stay
two weeks longer, but Director General
Davis says they are not, and to-day an
order was issued prohibiting any walk
ing through the Plaisance except by Off
cial pass.
