LAST funeral OF Gar
Alexander Ill Rests in the Tomb of
His Fathers.
THE IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES
Thirty Members of the European Royal
Families in Attendance-Th Streets
Thronged with People - Good
Order Prevailed.
By the United Press.

By the United Press.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 10.
The body of the late Car Alexander
III was placed in the tomb of his
fathers beneath the fortress Cathedral
Of St. Peter and St. Paul today, seven
teen days after his death. The funeral
services were the most elaborate of any
similar service that have ever taken
place in Russia, and the last rites were
performed in the presence of an assem-
blage Of royalty and representatives of
royalty such as seldom or never con-
gregated in similar circumstances
under the roof of the sacred edfice.
More than thirty members of European
royal families were in attendance, and
with their suites and the representa-
tives of sovereigns who were unable to
be present in person, the monarchial
representatives numbered several hun
dred.
The ceremonies were conducted with
all the pomp with which the ritual Of
the Greek church is capable, and with
all the display that the Russia court
could command. The streets were
thronged with people throughout the
day and the utmost good order pre-
vailed.
Story OF the Day.
The correspondent of the United
Press, who was an eye witness, tells
the story of the day as follows:
The morning opened cold and foggy.
There was no rain; but a thick mist
overhung the streets and the emblems
of mourning were dripping with mois-
ture. The populace Were astir before
/ daylight, and lines of people converged
/ upon the fortress cathedral of St. Paul
where the booming of cannon an
nounced the beginning of the funeral
| services. The troops, which had been
told off for duty took their positions and
! the thoroughfares were lined with in
fantry, cavalry and artillery. From
eight o'clock until the hour of the fun
eral there was continuous flow of state
carriages conveying the high officials,
who we. e making hast to take posses
sion Of the places in the cathedral,
which had been allotted them.
The religious ceremony over the body
Of the dead emperor was probably the
most magnificent ceremony of modern
times, in its external aspects far excell-
ing in b. auty and grandeur the memor-
ial burial service of Alexander III The
music was devine and the performance
of the liturgy sublime in the eXtrme
The surroundings We're subdued in
color, but they were of a quiet char
acter, which greatly enhanced the
splendor of the whole scene. The
cream Of the royalty and nobility OF
the empire assisted at the service and
princes of the blood, prelates of the
orthodox church, noblemen, representa-
tives Of foreign sovereigns and princes
foreign diplomats and other distin
guished persons joined in the devotions

awful ACT OF A maniac
Kills His Mother, Brother, and Sister
and Commits Suicide.
HE FIRST FIRES THE BUILDING
an Axe and Finishes Up the Family
with the Exception of one Sister
Who Jumps from Window.
Wellsville, Mo-, Nov. 10.

WellSVllle, MO-, NOV. ~.
This village was the scene of a hor-
rible triple murder and suicide early
this morning, which wiped out all but
one member of family. Thomas Por-
tercheck, with his mother, two sisters
and a brother. occupied a small house
half mile from the business portion of
the village They were Bohemians in
humble circumstances. Yesterday
afternoon Thomas was discovered act
ing strangely and gave indications that
his mind was deranged. He labored
under the hallucination that his neck
was broken and insisted that a ply
sician be summoned. His relatives en-
deavored to convince him of his error
and tried to get him to bed. He in
sisted on sitting up all night.
Late at night the family retired, leav-
ing Thomas in a rocking chair. At
o'clock this morning his sister Mary
was awakened by an agonizing scream
from her mother When she emerged
from her bed she found her mother ly-
ing on the floor while Thomas stood
above her brandishing an axe, The floor
]
adjoining room her brother James could
be heard moaning in the agony of
death
The Escape from Window.
The girl ran through the house and
finding all the doors locked, opened a
window and jumped to the ground. She
remained under the window, and as her
maniac brother made no attempt to
follow her, she stood and watched him
at his murderous work. The murderer
seized a can of coal oil and after pour
ing 1t over the floor and furniture, set il
on fire. He then drew a butcher knife
across his throat and fell by the side
of his dead mother. The girl attempted
to eXtinguish the flames, but they
spread so quickly that in less than ter
minutes the house was like a furnace
The screams of the girl awakened the
neighbors and they rushed to the scene
but the flames had finished the work
which the maniac had commenced.
When the blazing wood had cooled
sufficiently to allow a search of tn,
ruined home, four bodies were fount
blackened and charred. They were
those Of Mrs. Portercheck her younges
daughter and her sons, James anC
Thomas. Investigation showed tina
the mother, daughter and son, James
had been horribly mutilated by an axe
1t Is believed that Thomas had frs
killed his brother, then his sister AM
mother. 1t was probably his intention
to kill his sister Mary also. The mothe
had been confined to her bed for twelv
years.

THAT GOLD WITHDRAWAL.
The Bank Presidents of New York Are In.
clined to Let Each Bank Take Its Own
Course of Action.
BY the United Press.

By the United Press.
New York, Nov 19-There has been
considerable missionary work among
the bank presidents today regarding
the subscriptions to the bond issues
There We're many informal conferences
of two and three different presidents.
The result of these conferences brings
to light the disinclination of the banks
to distribute the loss of gold which will
come from the subscriptions pro rata
among the associated banks of New
York, according to the percentage of
each banks holding of gold. This was
the method taken in February.
The banks now appear to prefer to
let each individual bank take it's own
course of action regarding the sur
render of its gold. The calls for gold
from out of town correspondents are
quite numerous, and the Withdrawals
of gold from the sub-treasury by New
York banks are made ON orders from
correspondents in the interior.
There was withdrawn today nearly
two million in gold from the sub-treas-
ury and the amount Withdrawn from
the sub-treasuries throughout the coun-
try with which to purchase bonds is es-
timated at $4,000,00O since last Thurs
day. The net loss of gold to the gov
ernment is not so great, as some gold
has been paid in during that period.

ENGLISH PEOPLE CHAGRINED
Over Triumph of Republican Party and
Protection in America.

Over Triumph OF Republican Party ana
Protection in America.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Youngstown, O., Nov. 19.-Harry
Bonnell, a prominent iron manufac-
turer and member of the Mahoning
Valley Iron company has just returned
land. when the Wilson bill was
passed, the manufacturers thought
England more greatly elated," said Mr..
Bonnell because they saw at once it
would open the ports of this country to
their products. The result of the cleo
tions Nov. 6 greatly chagrined them,
as they know as well there as We do
here that the Republican party believes
in the principle of protection to home
industries against the world. Under
the influence of the Wilson bill, great
preparations are being made by the
manufacturers there to flood this coun-
try with their goods. At Bradford l
was informed the firm of Sir Titus Salt,
Sons & Co., of Saltaire, have orders to
run several months and refuse to book
more, anticipating higher prices.
There Is strong feeling in England
in favor of bimetallism. The governor
of the Bank of England, Mr.. Grenfell,
is strongly in favor of 1t and has so
expressed himself in public. He is a
nephew of Lord Salisbury and admits
that in studying the question from the
standpoint Of American economists, he
was converted to it. A tour through
will convince any one that Democratic
success means prosperity to England
ard the reverse to the United States,
and Il fat. with the Reput licans in
power, we in every way help our own
people in this country and not those
abroad"

to be able to accomplish something.
Colonel Stone says that the idea of a
further restriction of immigration has
been growing since congress adjourned,
He thinks that it is becoming more pop
ular and the Importance Of it was being
more fully realized than ever before.
He will, however, have the same diff
ficulty to contend with in the coming
session that he has had in the past, and
that is, the opposition of Chairman
Geissenhainer, of the House Committee
on immigration. That gentleman was
badly defeated for reelection and in
consequence is not likely to be any more
favorably disposed to immigration leg
islatlon than he has been. AS long as
the interests of certain steamships COM
panies are affected by proposed legisla-
ton, Mr.. Geissenhainer will, 1t is feared,
be opposed to that legislation.

By the United Press.
Washington, Nov. 19-General J. L.
Brent and G. E. Hamilton, counsel for
the Miles Planting and Manufacturing
company of Louisiana, in it's applica-
tion for writ of mandamus to compel
Secretary Carlisle and Commissioner
Miller of the internal revenue bureau
to examine the plant of the company as
preliminary step in obtaining the
sugar bounty for the present year which
it is claimed has been repealed by the
new tariff act today, filed brief in the
district court Of appeals, on its appeal
from the decision of Judge McComas
overruling the application.
The claims made by the appellants
are that the provisions of the Mckinley
law authorizing the payment of bounty
to sugar producers and manufacturers
are in full force and are left unrepealed
by the new tariff act; and that the duty
of the secretary of the treasury and the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue is a
ministerial duty and not one involving
the exercise of discretion as claimed by
them and sustained by Judge McComas

CONVICTS AGAIN LEASED.

Alabama's Democratic Legislature Goes
Back OH One Of Its Promises.
By the United Press.
Montgomery, Ala, Nov. ia bill
was introduced in the house Of repre-
sentatives yesterday providing that the
state convicts be leased again to mine
operators. Two years ago the Demo-
cratic legislature on the strength of
promises made the free miners of the
Birmingham district to remove the con-
victs from competition with them,
bought an immense farm twenty miles
north Of here and put the convicts to
work
The plan has not been found to oper-
ate satisfactorily, as the convicts have
been an expense rather than a source
of revenue to the state. Hence the bill.
