IN STATE.
Many Thousands Viewed Face
ofLate Gen. Butler,
As the Remains Calmly Reposed
Guarded by Grand Army Veterans.
Private Services Rcia ssnday-Public Fune
raj to be Held Today.

LOWELL, Mass. Jan. l5.-At General
Buffers late residence on Belvidere hill at
$40 O'Clock this morning, private funeral
services were held. Rev. Dr. A. St. John
Chambre, of the St. Anne Episcopal church
read the services for the dead.
The body was in the drawing room.
President Harrison's wreath, ferns and a
few lilies. laid upon the coffin. Among
the people there were the family and its
close friends There was no eulogy or ad-
dress by the clergyman
After the services those present looked
upon the general for the last time. The
body was then escorted to Huntington hall,
where it was to be in state, by detachment
from Post ~, G. A. r., with draped stan
dards and reversed arms. The body was
in hearse drawn by four horses. The
passed and great crowd was waiting to be
admitted to the hail.
In the hall the coffin was placed in the
center of the floor. guarded by Grand Army
men. On the coffin rested the sword and
epaulets worn by the general through the
rebellion.
Behind the catafalque rested bank Of
flowers, from President Harrison, the con-
victs of the state prison and all classes Of
people. Senators Dawes, Chandler and
Hale, Governor Russell, Hon. Frederick
Douglass, militia companies, societies and
friends in Lowell, Boston, New York,
Washington, Chicago and other places sent
pieces.
When the crowd was admitted to the hall, /,
they almost carried the doors off the hinges.
They struggled up the stairs,
bowled over the police who tried
to restrain them.
Shouts and cries woke the echoes of the
hall where the dead lay. Huntington hall,
whenever General Butler appeared there in
life, saw tarbulent scenes, but those of to-
day surpassed anything ever seen there be-
fore.
Down in the street, thousands pressed
forward when they saw the doors open. All
the afternoon, steady streams of people
poured ia, bat the crowds that wanted to
get in did not diminish.
Late in the afternoon the doors were
closed and the officers had an hoBr's rest.
At 6 o'clock they re-opened the doors, and
this time the people were beaten into lines
and more order maintained, up to IL
O'Clock, when the final closing was made.
Hundreds left the place without getting
in, and many others who wanted to get out
of the jam were forced to wait and be
swept into the hall by the stream.
In the jam tonight an unknown woman
had her leg broken.
DIR. o. G. Cilley of Boston admitted
Saturday evening, that he had performed
an atopsy upon Gen. Butler. 1.-The general
died from pulmonary apoplexy," said the
doctor, "or sudden infltration of blool
into the air cells, caused by violent fit of
coughing. All the other organs of the body
are entirely healthy. That is all | can say
withou, transgressing the wishes of the
generals family.
I 5lt is estimated that nearly 10000 people
viewed the remains in Huntington hall.

ceivsd At the department Of State from Mr..
Richardson, United States consul at Mata-

From all reliable information that can

case the centre of disturbance was trans
ferred to this point, would not permit him
to send ont the men,"

Or. McGlYNN'S CASE.
Archbishop SatoIIi Gives the Causes Of the
Pope's Action in the Case.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l4.-Archbishop
Satolli, permanent apostolic delegate in the
United States, authorizes the publication of
a statement in regard to the Pope's
| action in the case of DIR. McGlynn
After giving reasons for not making the
facts public before this time, the statement
says
"Dr. McGlynn had presented brief
statement of his opinions on moral econom-
ic matters, and it was judged not contrary
| to the doctrine constantly taught by the
church and as recently confirmed by the
holy father in the encyclical rerum nova
run.
| "Also, it is hereby publicly made known
that DIR. McGlynn, besides protesting his
adherence to all the doctrines and teachings
of the Catholic church. has expressed his
regret (saying that he would be the first to
| regret it, for any word or act of his that
may have seemed lacking in the respect due
to ecclesiastical authority; and he, there
fore, intends to repay, as far as he can, any
offence which may have been given to the
Catholics.
FINALLY, DIR. McGlynn has, of his own
free will declared and promised that, with
in the limits of a not long period of time,
he will go to Rome in the spirit and inten-
ton which are becoming to good Catholic
and priest.
"lIere it is well to note how dcplorable it
is that this reconciliation should have been
discussed as it has been in newspapers in
such manner that private and lay persons
have dared to pass upon it harsh reproach
and i'll considered censnre.
THAT any one should have dared TO
sneak of the pope's authnrity oyer tho
church in America as foreign is sentiment
scandalous. The action of the church and
of the Holy See in the things that beleng to
it is superior to every man-male boundary
universal and proper to every country in
which there may b. Catholics. For which
reason it seems to us exceedingly opportune
to recommend due respect in every case to
ecclesiastical authority, and, before all, to
that of the Holy See as well as to that of
the council of Baltimore, inasmuch as it is
forbidden to treat ecclesiastical matters and
questions through the medium of journal
| ism.
much more deplorable is it that persons
both ecclesiastics and laymen {who wish to
appear as sincerely Catholic, make bad
use of Journalism with violent and menda.
cious attacks, beyond all bounds of respec,
/ and charity agtinst venerable prelates,
whose virtue and lrarning, whose rectitudo
of character and unquestioned and unques-
! tionable love toward the church and the
| supreme pontiff, never unaccompanied by
sincere love OF country. make them deser-
ye,liy the objects of special prsailection of
the Holy Father and of universal esteem
and veneration."

THE DRAG-NET
Used in Fishing for Panama
Canal Swindlers
Brings Several Royalists to the Sur
face and the Republicans Rejoice.
Evidence Increasing Against Those ALREADY
implicatsd--Baihaut Involved.

| PARIS. Jan. lt.-There is profound re-.
lief in Republican circles today over the
statement of Charles de Lesseps. impli-
eating Arthur Never editor of the Gaulois,
as having received loo, 900 francs from tho
Panama company.
This las, brings the Royalists into the
,!rag-nct, and shows what the friends of the
republic have claimed from the beginning
of the sepndal; that Republican officials
and journalists did not have monopoly of
Panama corruption.
The fact that four Boulaneist deputies are
sail to be put under strong suspicion by
evidence before Franguevile. is also con-
siirred Ms strongly strengthening the cause
of the rrpuhlic by showing the hypocrisy Of
those who assail it in the pretended interest
of better government.
The government has also been consider
ably strengthened by the speech of Cham
ceilor Won Caprivi on the army bill.
| This has in barge degree diverted atSrn-
ton from Panama affairs and aropsetf' =
deeper interest in the foreign concerns of
France, and in the necessity of Frenchmeu
standing together against their enemies
| abroad.
The situation today is therefore improved
and although the Figaro publishes a sensa-
,ional article signed by the clitor-in-chicf.
Maynard, urging Carnot, in the interests of
the republic to resign. very little is heard
of adverse criticism upon the President.
Figaros attempt TO arouse public feeling
against Cnrnot has fallen Hat. and men who
vehcmently denounced the President YES
terday are comparatively moderate today.
II is generally believed that the worst is
known regarding Panama, and that no de-
velopments adverse to Carnot are possible.
The discredit thrown on the Gaulois has
aided greatly in relieving NJ Garnet.
1t will be remembered that the staff of
that paper was active in endeavoring, be-
fore the Panama commission of the Cham
Der, to connect Carnot's name it'll the PAN
anna corruption, but when cornered had dc.
clined, on alleged professional grounds, To
give authority for statements made.
Ex Minister of Commerce Jules Roche is
also said to be vindicated from the charge
that he had shared in Panama bribery.
When first accused Roche had answered in
u manner that manner that made most
favorable impression iu the chamber.
Magistrate Frauqueile, finds that the
initials -. r." made by the late Baron
Reinach on the eounterfoi of check, do
not apply to Roche, who will. therefore. be
released from accusation of completely in
the Panama corruption. 1t had been
alleged, on the strength of these initials that
Boche had received 10000 francs from
Reinaeh. The evidence against others who
have been accused is said to be no stronger
than that against Roche.
The evidence against ex-Ministcr of Pub
lie Works Baihaut continues, according TO
report, to grow stronger. Baihaut, saws
