control from the present ruling element
in the order will partake of. The con-
vention came together at IL o'clock,
with about 80 delegates, representing
the various states Of the Union in at
tendance, and with the officers of the
order occupying seats at the head Of the
Screwmen's hall. Governor Foster
wired that he was ill and could not
come to the city, and Colonel T. Sam
bola Jc.,es appeared as the special rep
resentative of his excellency, for whom
he spoke. Cu.o14el Jones also read q
letter from the governor commencing
the order.
Mayor Fitzpatrick made q brief ad-
dress of welcome on behalf of the city,
and Grandmaster Sovereign replied for
the Knights. After the public cere.
monies Of opening the convention were
over, the public was asked to retire, the
doors were closed and the session began.

Body Of Alexander III Lies Ii
State in the St. Peters,
burg Cathedral.
IMMENSE CROWDS OF PEOPLE
Witness the Funeral Process.
sion From the Station
to the Church..

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. IA The
funeral train with the body Of the late
czar ON board arrived at the Nicholas
station during the night and was
shunted upon sidetrack until morning
to enable the imperial family and their
relatives to finish their nights rest.
As soon as all the preparations for the
funeral were completed, shortly after
10 a. m., the imperial train re-entered
the railroad station, the body was
transferred to the hearse in waiting
and was conveyed to the cathedral
through the densely crowded streets,
guarded by thousands Of troops. .15%
Every foot Of ground along the route
was occupied with spectators. The
greatest masses Of people were gath
cred in front of the Kassan, st. 1saacs
and other churches, in front of which,
previous to the starting of the process
sion, the clergy stood in their state
robes. Three salvos Of artillery an
nounced the arrival of the procession
at exactly IL o'clock. :.
Prior to the arrival of the body at the
cathedral, short service was held
there in the presence of the car, the
diplomats andsmany of the Russian
nobility. The hearse arrived at the
cathedral a few minutes past, 2 o'clock.
Four Of the chief pallbearers removed
the pail. The czar and other Russian
imperial personages and foreign princes
then carried the coffin into the church
with the, same ceremony as had been
observed in Moscow and deposited it III
the catafalque. Metropolitan Pallatfias
of St. Petersburg then conducted an i'm
pressive service. ##
Scene of Magniflcence.
The interior Of the cathedral pre-
sented an unsurpassed scene Of magnifi-
cence. Directly the coffin was placed
on the bier the military guard took
their places Oh the steps of the cata-
falque.. The imperial family and the
guests stood on the right and the Met
ropolitan of St. Petersburg and the
other clergy at the foot Of the cata-
falque, a gllttering group in their rich
vestments, mitres and sparkling gems.
Then began an impressive requiem.
All fell on their knees as the anthem
"Rest With the Blessed' began, and
remained in that position until it was
finished. Then the imperial and royal
personages mounted the catafalque one
by one and kissed the hand of the czar,
after which they left the building.
The services lasted an hour and were
listened to with rapt attention. From
the moment the coffin was placed on
the bier the guns ceased booming and
the bells tolling. After the services a
great mourning banner was hoisted
above the fortress. As, this appeared
the troops returned to their barracks
and the crowds gradually melted away.
The members Of the imperial family re-
turned to their various palaces, but re-
turned to the cathedral, at 8 in the
evening to assist in the prayers for the
czar, which will be repeated daily until
the funeral.

CHICAGO, Nov. lathe Railway Age
in its next issue will contain a reply to
the report Of the United States strike
commissioners, addressed to those
gentlemen. It says in part: )
"The personal opinions, as conveyed
in the report of the federal strike com
mission, are invested with unwonted
interest to the public at large from the
fact Of the official dignity with which
they have been clothed. All good citi'
zens must of necessity be interested in
the commissions official conclusions,
and it appears to be the part OF citizen
ship to call attention to, and, II pos
sible, correct any oversights or mis-
statements of facts in which the com
mission may have fallen" s@% =.
The article then quotes many alleged
false statements contained in the re-
port and concludes:
Many Errors of Fact. ~
1.-THE errors Of fact in the report
range all the way from the Inaccurate
quotation Of comparatively trivial fig'
ures to false generalizations as to the
whole scope and essence Of the trouble.
There are many minor points in your
report of which criticism and correc-
ton would be easy, as in the cheap
levity with which the commission
treats the educational and aesthetic
and sanitary features of Pullman. But
these things-errors Of taste or fallacies
in theory-will be apparent enough to
the general readers. The curious acci-
dent that the misstatements of fact are
all on the same side-all tending to
to throw discredit upon the corpora.
tions and to increase the bitterness OF
the laboring classes against capitals
an accident from which one would pre-
fer to draw no inferences."
