such otfenses come under the juris-

CANROBERT FUNERAL.
The Old Soldier Buried With
State EOnOrs.

PARIS. Feb. 3.-With state honOrs the
remains of Marshal Canrobert. the last
Of the marshals Of France, were today
inferred in the Hotel des Invalids. The
funeral of the great soldier was made
the occasion of an imposing military
display. Rue de Marignan, the street
in which the CanrObert residence is sit
uated. was guarded by sailors and dep
utations from various regiments, while
the route TO the Hotel des Invaids was
lined with troops of the Paris garrison,
under the command of Gen. Saussier,
military governor of the capital. The
funeral car, which was richly dec
orateI, was drawn by six horses.
The coffin was covered with the
tri-coIor. Gems. Billot Negrier. lamont
and Boise Deffere and AdmiraIs Du-
perre and Rieunier were the pail
bearers. The band of the Re-
publican guard played a funeral
march. A salute of seventeen guns
announced the starting of the pro
cession to the Hotel des Invalids. The
son of Marshal Canrobort was the prin-
cipal mourner He walked directly be-
hind the hearse, and was followed by
the ministers and large number Of
generals and officers. Along the route
there was dense crowd, all the mem-
bers of which stood in respectful silence
with bare heads as the funeral car
passed slowly along. The coffin was
borne into the Church of st. Louis,
forming part Of the Hotel deS In
valids, and deposited upon lofty
catafaIque. In the church were
representatives of President Faure,
Queen Victoria and other SOW
ereigns. Cardinal Richard, arch
bishop of the parish, celebrated mass.
Upon the completion of the mass, the
coffin was removed frOm the catafalque
and taken to the court of honor adj
Joining the church. Here Gen. Sur
linden, minister of war, delivered an
oration. He referred TO SebastopOl,
where he said the blood shed by two
chivalrous adversarieS was destined to
terminate the sentiments OF mutual es-
TEEN that unite France and Russia to-
day. Gen. Surlinden gave glowing
description of Marshal Canrobert's
yalor and heroism and exhorted the
army to follow his splendid example.
Upon the conclusion of the address of
the minister of war the troops rendered
the final honorS 10 the dead, and the
coffin was then deposited under the
chapel. Not single Earring note
marred the ceremony.

LONDON. Feb. 3-A dispatch from
Shanghai says telegram has been re-
ceiyed there from Chin-Kiang stating
that party of officers from the Amer
lean war ship Concord landed at Chin~
Kiang for the purpose of shooting
game. They by accident shot China
man. The popGlace became infuriated,
and attacked, seized and carried off the
whole party The commander of the
Concord sent an armed force of blue
jackets and marines to rescue them at
all hazards. Further news in regard to
the affair is anxiously awaited.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The reported
kidnapping of he officers OF the United
States steamship Concord at Chin
Kiang, in China, reached Washington
at too late an hour to permit it to be in
quired into in naval or diplomatic
circles. Up to 10 o'clock tonight no
news on the subject had been received.
The news will create profound sensa-
tion tomorrow, and unless later reports
show that the captured officers are at
liberty, other vessels will probably be
hurried to the scene. Knowing the
condition of the Chinese at the present
time, and the way in which they are !
likely to deal with prisoners, there will {
be great anxiety until the safety of the
party is assured. A court-martial will
probably follow, as the policy
of the United States government is to
require unusual care in such cases. a
few years ago Il test torpedo from a
United States war ship was exploded by
sons Japanese who found it OH the
beach. One of them was killed, and,
though the japanese government de-
clared it held the officer of the war
ship biameiess, there was court mar
tiaf. and the officer was severely repri-
III anded.
Following is the list of the officers OF
the Concord:
Commander, Joseph E. Craig, COM
manding; lieutenants, Z. S. Prime, G.
A. Merriam, William S. Hogg and w.
A. Gill; ensigns, Marbury, Johnson, G.

Nj. Proctor; surgeon, w. A. McClurg;

The Holocaust Caused by the

Rio DE JANEIRO, Jan. 6.-Following
ferry boat Terciera and the loss of over
a hundred lives, brief account of
which was cabled at the time of the dis
aster: The Terciera, with over 800
passengers. left the Rio side of the bay
at about p. ID. San Domingo was one
of the points of Decentralization, where
it landed perhaps 200 persons and re-
ceived on board so others. Soon after
backing out of the dock at San Domin-
go and turning toward Prairai Grande,
another point on the Nictheroy side, it
was discovered that the Terciera was
on fire and burning rapidly. At
the same time the ferry boat
Quinta left Prairai in the direc-
ton of San Domingo, having on
board quite large number of
passengers. The alarm seems to have
been given first from aboard the Quinta
by means Of her steam whistle. The
master pilot of the Quinta steamed
quite close to the Terciera, now almost
entirely ungoyernabe. He intended to
run alongside near enough to save the
passengers, who were in imminent dam
ger of being burned to death. But
when nearl y in striking distance of the
burning wreck, lie was prevented by
the cowardice of the passengers of the
Ouinta. who in a large crowd went up
to the pilot house, and, with drawn
reyolyers, compelled him to abandon the
people OH The burning boat, who were
thus allowed to burn TO death or throw
themselves into the bay. A large NUM-
Der of launches and other craft hast
ened from the Rio side and attempted
to save the drowning men, women and
children, and many were thus rescued,
but over hundred lives were unneceS-
sarily lost.
The municipal elections have just

BROOKLYN, Feb. 3.-The police spent
q busy day in their efforts to preserve
order and prevent the crowds that
gathered IN the various tough districts
from maltreating The non-union men in

instances the mOtormen were severely
beaten before police assistance arrived
No riots, however, of a serious nature
occurred during the day. At Third
avenue and Fourteenth street the town
was encum bered this morning with a
great pile of boards, boxes and other
material of heavy nature. Every car
that passed that way was held up by
the obstruction, and while the conductor
and motOrman were engaged in remoy-
ing the debris they were pelted unmer-
cifully with bricks, mud and snowballs.
Many Of the mems assailants were

upon the outcome of the strike.
y great many arrests were made to-
day of strikers and sympathiZers who
persisted in throwing stones and way
laying all the non union men in sight.
Some of these arrests were small boys.

north of Paris, where crowd had
gathered in the railway station to well
come the well.known journalist. NJ.
Rocheforte was heartily cheered. He
made brief address without leaving
the train. The public was not allowed
to enter the Care du Nord in this city,
but on the arrival of the train i'll which
NJ. Rocheforte was travelling, the
pressure became SO great that the crowd
broke down the barricades and invaded
the station. shouting: ''Vive Roche
forter' "Vive le Proscript" NJ.
Rocheforte and his friends had the ut
most difficulty in reaching their car
riages. There were fully $4,000 persons
gathered about the station. The greatest
good humor was displayed, and frantic
cheering was INDUCED in. Nj. Roche
forte was much moved by the enthusi-
asn. He bowed repeatedly from his
carriage in response to the salutes eX~
tended to him. The crowd was so
dense that the horses drawing the car
riage could go no faster than walk.
One opponent of NJ Rocheforte gave
vent to his feelings by shouting: "A
bas RochefOrte'' A number OF the
crowd turned ON him. and he had mar
row escape from being lynched. The
demonstration continued along the
whole route from the Care du Nord to
the Offices OF L'Intransigeant, No. 142

illuminated, and much bengal fire was
burned. Outside the building was an
immense red transparency Oh which
were inscribed the words: "Vive ia Re-

was completely stopped The crowd
sang THE MarseillaIse," and shouted
for NJ. ROcheforte until at last he APP
