IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES ~
Marked the Funeral of Marshal Canrobert
of France s1s1t II

Pars, February 8. All military, and
official Paris attended today the funeral
of Francois Certain Canrobert, the last
marshal of France. The ceremonies
were the same as at the state funeral of
Marshal MacMahon, almost year and
a half ago. The crowds in the streets
were smaller, aud the signs of mourning
were less numerous among the people.
The cannons Of the Hotel Des, Invalides
were fired as the body was removed
from the late Marsbal's home in the
Rue de Marignan and placed IN the
hearse. The pall-bearers were Generals
Billot, Negrier. lamont and Hoisdettre,
and Admirals Duperre and Rieunier.
The St. Louis chapel, in the court Of
the Hotel des Inyalides, was thickly
hung in black. On shields along the
walls were inscribed the names of the
battles in which Canrobert fought with
success. The soldiers guarding the cat-
afalque belonged to the regiment which
Canrobert had commanded. On the
coffin lid lay the marshaPs uniform, and
on it's sides were embroidered the, arms
of the dead soldier. The church was
thronged. There were representatives OF
the government, diplomatic corps, de-
putation of judges and academacians,
and innumerable officers Of the army. \
Father Cheillot, Canrobert's, parish
priesr, said mass, and Cardinal Richard
pronunced benediotion. Tie body was
taken back to the courtyard, and General
Zurlinden delivered funeral Grafton.
The troops of the Paris garrison filed
past, and :parting salutes were fred.
The body was removed to the vault,
The crowds that came out to see the
lasts honors paid to the last marshal of
France were much smaller than the
gathering at the railway station, where
Henri Rochefort, editor of the 1ntransig
cant, was welcomed home from year
of exile i'll England. The whole Paris
mob seemed spacked in the open square.
In it were all the socialist deputies, in
Guiding GerauIt Richard, the man im-
prisoned and elected for insulting CAST
mir. Perier. The socialist revolutionary
societies brought out their last man. and
stood in solid mass close to the station
entrance. The streets leading to the
Intransigean office were filed with
men and women from wall to wall. 1t
is estimated that 200 persons stood
between the station and office.

THE NEWS EXPECTED.
Japan has Concluded that China was Mere
Iy Temporizing-Her Army Will Now
Push on to Pekin

Washington, February 3.-The de-
spatch from Hiroshima, stating that
the Chinese peace ENJOYS were sent back
of the credentials, exactly accords with
the anticipatory advices received by MIR.
Kurinaolt 1t has been the opinion at
the Japanese legation from the begin
ming that the Chinese government was
simply pursuing its customary policy
of delay in tine matter. The first at
tempt was to place Japan in the attitude
of sueing for peace by giving proposit-
ion made at the suggestion of the United
States by minister Dun at Toxic, the
precedency over the proposition made
by Minister DENLY at Pekin. This sub
terfuge being rejected, Japan insisting
that China must take the initiative
in asking for peace. Japan served for
NAL notice OH China that unless their
peace envoys came accredited with pleni-
potentiary powers they would not sbe
received. For the time being, Japan,
in the interest of peaceful settlement,
waived objection to the personality of
Sho, who set price on the head of every
japanese captured or slain. Although
the Chin ese ENJOYS were appointed Dec.
s, not until January 6, did Chang Hin
take leave of the Emperor and start on
his mission. IN the meantime came the
selection of ex-Secretary j. W. Foster as
advisory counsel. This was looked upon
by japan as an attemp at delay. 1t was
apparent that Mr.. Foster could not be adj
mitted to peace negotiations except in the
capacity of a secretary to one of the
Chinese envoys, and that was position

Secretary of State Of the the , United ted States

Tnon.e aud Field Marshal Yamagata
were all in favor Of peace upon Il basis as1s

th e terms imposed by Japan will exact a
concession of territory.
There is now nothing left for Japan to
do INIT nursue it's advantages, until event
ually Pekin falls into her hands. The
inevitable result Of this. it is thought,
will lie the fall of the present dynasty.

An Armed Party Sent to Their Rescue-Ne-
gotiations of Japanese Officials With
Chinese Envoys Broken off and the En-
voys Requested to Leave the Country
Their Credentials Were Unsatisfactory
London, February 3.-The Central News
correspondent at Hiroshima, telegraphs un-
der todays date that Premier Count Ito and
Viscoun Mutsu, minister of foreign affairs,
had seco ond int rview with China's peace
envoys yesterday afternoon. The main
object of the meeting was to exchange cre-
dentials. The ministers found the creden-
tials of the ENJOYS very imperfect and to
leave them absolutely lpowerless to conduct
binding negotiations.
They refused at once to continue tie
negotiations and requested the ENJOYS to
leave the country soon as possible. The
ENJOYS will sail tomorrow on the steamship
Owarinaru for Nageski, where they will
await the arrival of mail steamship for
China. They will be accompanied until they
depart by the inspector general of police
and several assistant inspectors. who will
prevent any hostile demonstration.on the

BATH POLITICS.
Few Candidates in the City of Ships
Who Yearn to Fill the Mayors Chair.
Especial to the PRESS. }

| Bath, February 4.-The mayoralty
question now presents itself to the people
of Bath and is the<principal topic of con-
versation. One thing which is causing some
speculation is the question as o how much
weight the temperance people can bring
to bear, as they have created consid cradle
feeling here the past few weeks.
Some time ago Editor John o, Patten of
the Daily Times's editorially stated that the
ministers of Bath, giving their names, were
the most to blame for the non-enforcement
of the prohlbitory law here, and declared
that # they would hold caucus and nomi-
nate straight ticket his paper would sup
port them, and people now wondering If
he will do it. thus fighting the Republican
party which he represents in the legislature
as representative. Tha clergymen. it is
said will put him to the test. The PRESS
correspondent has been told that the tenn
perauce people have even asked Mr.. Pattcn
to be their candidate, but that he has re-
fused and they also asked Capt. John r.
Kelley who declined. 1t is now believed
that Seth 7. Snipe will be their candidate.
AS to whom the Republicans will nomi-
nate there seem to be nothing definite as
yet. These names have been prominently
meuJoueu. VILLAIN ) : Douu6lis EuWdIu !.
Donnell, Hon. j H. Kimball. Walter 6.
Webber. James c. hidyard, R. C. Harris
and Harry E. Stetson. 1t is not believed
here however that either of these men will
be candidate, as nearly all of them have
declined to allow their names to be used.
1t was reported today that ex-Mayor George
Moulton. Jr.. would be the one rejected, but
lie has just told the writer that he would
not accept the nomination under any con-
sideration. There is a possibility that it
may be John o. Shaw or Joseph NJ. Hayes.
If the temperance people put a straight
ticket in the field the Democrats will
probab iy run for themselves. thus putting
three candidates in the field. The Republi-
cans have no fear as 10 the result of the
election, and will try to. andw probably
succeed in carrying every ward.

Ship Wrecked Crew Who We're Sup
posed to be Lost.

Discovered Floating on Raft Amongst
the Ice in Lake Michigan-Tugs are
Breaking Their Way to Them-They
are the Survivors, of the Steamer Chi
cora.
Chicago, February 3.-At 10 O'Clock
this morning, an object $50 feet long,
resem bling the hull of the ili-fatea
steamer Chicora, was discovered off South
Chicago, lying between two large ice
foes. The hull was floating south, and
the life-saving crew was despatched at
p. m.. by the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
to follow it along the Indiana shore.
Tugs were also sent from Chicago AT
80 D. m., Agent Van Sickle, of the Balti-
more & Ohio,at Whiting. Ind, reported
that he had seen the null, two miles off
shore. Beside the hull was a raft on
which Is or 30 men could be seel. AT
later nour the relief train sent out over
the Baltimore & Ohio, returnedsto South
Chicago, the life saving crew having
located the wreck about two miles off
Whiting, Indiana, where it has been
stationary since 4 p. m. Owing to the
darkness, it is impossible to make any
attempt to reach the wreck from the
shore, but two tugs were fighting their
way through the ice from outside to-
wards the wreck. If they succeed in
reaching it tonight, and rescuIn9 any of
the survivors, they will probably return
to Chicago, as all the other harbors are
closed with ice. ~
LATER. The tugs returned without
finding the Chicora.
Discredit the Report
Chicago. February. 4.--Great excite
uIent prevailed for an hour this
afternoon and evening among the.
people along the shore Of Lake Michigan
aud South Chicago, on account OF the.
report that the hull of the Chicora was
discovered, and human beings could be.
discerned moving on the hull. Old lake
men place no cretlence in the report, for
the reason that since the vessel left Mil
waukee, two weeks ago.. for Benton Har-
Dor, with 81 souls on board, westerly
winds have invariably prevailed, which
would blow any part of the Chicora to-
wards the Michigan shore. 1t is not
possible in their opinion for the vessel
TO have drifted towards this shore. The
crews on the tugs spied in the gloom an
object which looked like the null of
vessel or raft, and that on their trip
from Chicago they encountered hum
mocks and nsnow laden ice with knu-
merous gulls thereon, which might easily
have been mistaken by excited people
for part ofa vessel. The tugs will
resume the search tomorrow. "A sHf III
