TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD MAYOR.

Vast Concourse Follows the Remains of
Carter Harrison to the Tomb.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. With the SOL
emn pomp and imposing ceremonies
BETTING the interment of the former
chief magistrate of the Worlds Fair
City and his pitifully dramatic fate, Car
ter H. Harrison's body was escorted to
Graceland Cemetery to-day by an i'm
mense thrGng Of sorrowing citizens.
Tenderlv the remains were borne from
the black-draped and fower-scented
corridor Of the city hall, where they
had rested in state, and placed in
the funeral car. Through the great
crowd that had gathered to see the
murdered mayors last leavetaking of
the scenes Of his ardent labOrs in be-
half of the city he loved, the black car
slowly passed and took it's place in the
waiting procession. AS it drew into
line, the march was taken up and the
thousands who had gathered to do
honor to the dead moved slowly
through the crowded streets with ban
ners draped and to the sad music of the
funeral march. Out from the center
Of the city the great procession
marched, across the river and to the
beautiful Church Of the Epiphany near
the late executives home. All along
the line of march the people with sad
faces and barred heads watched the
somber columns, and about the church
a thrOng as great as that which had
been about the city hail was gathered.
From the time the mayors body was
placed in the city hall yesterday con-
tinuous procession has moved through
the corridor and past the bier. For
twentyfour hours the line remained
unbroken, and when to-day the CORR
dor was of necessity closed to the pub
lie great crowd still remained in line
awaiting a last look at the features of the
dead executive All night long men and
women stood in double file, awaiting an
entrance to the building. Late last
night the line extended a block
and a half from the entrance and
people stood in line for hours unwilling
to lose their last opportunity to see the
face of Carter Harrison. AS the long
line grew shorter with the coming of
the morning the officers on guard used
every endeavor to rush the people past
the bier, but before the nights crowd
had melted the early morning throng
began to arrive and when the corridors
were closed it was estimated that fully
100000 people had filed past the body.
A peculiarly pathetic reminder of the
dead mayor came into view immedi-
ately following the great black and gold
en- hearse-a thoroughbred mare, sad
died and bridled, but riderless. In
many labor riot or fierce
election contest, thousands of people
had seen the dashing mayor press for
ward on that same thoroughbred into
positions of danger few public men
would dare. The noble-looking animal,
to-day I'D lonesomely behind the hearse
of her master, was a sight that not
many witnessed unmoved.

CHICAGO LOOKS ON IT'S DEAD.


Remains of Mayor Carter Harrison Re-
moved to the City Hall.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, oct. 3l.-The remains of
Chicago's Garfield were borne to the
city hall to-day, there to lie in state.
Dense crowds thronged the streets
and sidewalks for blocks around
the Carter Harrison mansion on
Ashland Boulevard and witnessed
the start. In the main it was not
fashionable multitude, but it was such a
one as the famous mayor best liked to
move among and speak with. Solemn
stiffness was observed as eight stalwart
fire department captains emerged bear
ing the coffin. Eight captains of
police followed sharing with the
fire captains the honors of pail bearers.
The cortege was lengthy one and the
distance to the city hall, two miles
through the heart Of the city, was not
covered for a considerable time.
Following the carriages containing
city officials and mOurners came great
throng resolved to accompany the COM
paratlvely small cortege proper
to it's destination. Simplicity was
the notable feature Of the OBJ
sequies. The hearse was plain
black and bore no waving plumes
nor did heavy trappings adOrn the
black steeds which drew it. No strains
Of solemn music were heard as the pro-
cession passed slowly down Jackson
Boulevard to the great gray stone build
ing where once Carter Harrison was SUI
preme.
All day long two lines of people
passed rapidly by looking only at the
black casket with the prospect that they
would SO continue throughout the night,
looked upon was the one they had been
accustomed to in life. Death had
wrought no perceptible changes. The
late MAYOR anneared to be sleening

GETS TITLE TO $4,000 ACRES.
Secretary HOko Smith Decides an important
Wisconsin Case.


Wisconsin Case.
ASHLAND, WIS, NOV. 6.-Secretary
Hoke Smith has made another de-
cision, the full text of which was re-
ce;ved at the local United States land
office this morninS, by which the Omaha
road secures undisputed possession OF
80, 900 acres Of land. The case is entitled
Omitted States ex rel A. Houlton vs.
Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Paul, Mime.
apolis & Manitoba Railroad" The com.
missioner is overruled and quletus ia
put upon the efforts of Houlton and the
settlers who are after the land.
In 1866 a land grant was made to Wis
cOnsin and another in 1860, which was
conferred upon the La Crosse & Nil.
waukee road and is now occupied by
the Omaha road, which has been running
for many years. In 1890 Houlton filed
declaratory statement for portion OF
the lands. Four former decisions have
been made by which 200 900 acres were
retained unappropriated, and which
was opened to homestead en-.
try. In 1887 Secretary Lamar was
directed to make a final adjustment,
which was begun by him and COM
pleted by Secretary Noble on December
10, 1890. The road was debarred from
reopening for making claims for more
land.
Says Secretary Smith: ''Then why
should not the government be pro-
hibited from reopening? Houlton claims
lands which have been claimed by the
railroad company for thirty-fve years
1t mig ht well be said by the defendant
that the United States, after years of
consideration, made an adjustment
which they declared to be final, and
which the company was willing to abide
by. The action is now repudiated
and declared not to be final and
the company have a right to final &C.
counting and adjustment. If the Of
fcers Of the government are unable to
make an adjustment, the court shall
make final adjustment.
The commissioners decision of last
April is therefore overruled and the
Omaha is given undisDuted possession.
