FRED. DOUGLASS.

Funeral services oyer the remains of
Fred. Douglass took place in Washing
ton this evening and his body will be
carried to Rochester, N. Y, for burial.
Tomorrow evening his body will lie in
state in the City Hall, in New York.
Representative Murray, of South
Carolina, the only colored member of
the House of Representatives, en-
deavored unsuccessfully Saturday to
secure favorable action upon a resolu-
ton permitting the remains of Fred.
Douglass to lie in state in the rotunda
of the Capitol. The matter was brought
to the attention of Speaker Crisp too
late to be presented to the House before
the execution of the special order, the
delivery of eulogies upon the late Sen
ator Vance was entered on. He in-
formed Murray that had he given notice
of his desire to present the resolution
earlier in the day, he would have given
him an opportunity to offer it for the
action of the House.
In the Senate Mr.. Pettigrew offered
a resolution, reciting that in the person

FROM HONOLULU.

The Hawaiian government has caus'
ed the arrest of 3S1 persons since jan
uary 6, of whom "a have been tried be.
fore the military court. Sentences in
but "a cases have been made public
% natives charged with treason and V.
V. Ashford, charged with misprision OF
treason, who was fined 81 900 and SEN
fenced to Jail for one year. He had
been in trouble previously. Fifty.6ve
members have been released by the
authorities; the military court acquit-
ted two. Three men-Cranston, John
son and Mueller-were deported.
Thirteen persons are at liberty, with
the understanding that they leave the
country within reasonable time and
not return without permission from the
government. British commissioner
Halves gave the men to understand he
would not interfere in their behalf, as
they admitted their guilt. John Bow
lers has been fined $1,000 and sentenc-
ed to five years Imprisonment. A num-
Der of natives, convicted of treason,
have received sentences varying from
Eve to ten years. About two hundred
cases are yet to be tried. Prince David
has been found guilty, his sentence
having not been made public. 1t is
understood the Queens sentence will
be five years for the part she took in
making the trouble. Probably she
will be allowed to leave the country
without serving her sentence out if
she so desires. The Hawaiians have
commenced to work in earnest for an
nexation. They have been informed
that all present prisoners will be freed
in the event of closer relations with the
United States. A strong fight is being
made to save the neck of w. b. Rick
ards, one of the condemned. He is q
Mason. and that body has interested it
self in his behalf. Attorney General
Smith stated that the government had
no intention of executing the condemn
ed until the military court concluded
its labors and every fact bearing on fine
case was brought out. Mr.. Smith in
timated nothing would be done until
the United States government was in
possession of the facts in each case.
According to the General the Queen
will not be sent out of the country.

THE TRAIN ROBBERS.

At Stafford G. 81. on Saturday, in

ceedings at the afternoon session of the
court were not especially interesting.
The many and various witnesses from
the numerous points on the route
taken by Searcey and Morganfeld

came wearisome. There was nothing
startling or sensational until General
Shay asked a young man, w. E. Jones'
of Front Royal, who was a witness
what his salary was. He declined to
answer the question, and the court in.
timated that the witness should not be
called to answer such question. Gen
eral Shay made vigorous reply in
which he charged the witness with re.
ceiving blood money to swear away a
mans life. Court then adjourned I'm.
Ill Monday. When General Shay
emerged from the court room the wit.
ness he had attacked confronted him
and demanded an apology. The gen
eral was savsgely denounced by the
witness, and for moment it seemed rs
if a personal collision was imminent,
but the crowd surged in between them
and they were separated. During the
examination Searcey said he was
Mason, and in talking about the train
robbery said after the robbery AL

another concerned in the robbery He
quickly corrected himself, however, by
saying that was slip of the tongue.

MONDAY EVENING, FEB. 25, 10 s.
CARDINAL Kopp, of Germany says &:

CARDINAL KoPP, of Germany says;
at is against the order of the world
that the emancipation OF woman
should mean her absolute equailty WIZ
men. Coos will is that woman snoulo
be the belpmate. She is bodily unhs
for mans work, and her emancipation:
90 the end that she might work SIDE ny
side with man, would mean the de-
terioration of the Christianity that
freed her from slavery and made her
mans social equal. Unrestricted
equality would mean woman's rum.
Truer and more patiently reasonable
ideas could have hardly been expressed
in fewer or better words. The strength
of women lies in their weakness. That
quality commands the Difference and
protection of men. But when they dis
card that defence and hustle as equal
competitors with men in all the ambi-
lions and avocations of life, they nat
urallv lose that defence and protec-
ton. for in such struggle it is the
devil take the hindmost. Is this
country-its homes, its women and It's
men-better, happier and more con-
tented now than it was when its wom-
en- confined their attention to house
hold affairs and depended on the men
for maintenance and protection? Why,
a man will support and fight for his
dependent dog, let alone for his moth
e.. wife, daughters and sisters.

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Senate on Saturday evening re-
fused, by vote of "a to AZ, to displace
the Indian appropriation bill with the
railroad pooling bill. Intense feeling
was aroused by the effort to take the
bill up, and, when Mr.. Butler, in
charge of it. intimated bad faith on the
part of Mr.. German, the latter respond
ed holly, criticised the management of
the bill, and declared that Mr.. Butler
was 'piqued." On the republican side
Mr.. Chandler and Mr. Wolcott were in
volved in sharp personal criticism as a
result of their differences on the pool
ing bill. In the course of the discussion
many Senators warned the friends of
the bill that il was useless to take it up,
as it would be Systematically talked to
death" 1t was announced that Mf
White, of California, was ready with a
FIVE days speech as part of the am
muuition to talk the bill to death. The
Indian appropriation bill IVES passed
after having been before the Senate FIVE
days, and a beginning was made on the
sundry civil bill.
In the House the reading of the de-
6ciency bill was completed, with the
exception of few amendments temper
srily passed oyer, the principal one of
which is the appropriation of S425, 600
to pay the Behring SEES awards.
Notice has been given that 9

THE LABOR unions in this country,
Judging from their public declarations,
are in favor of silver money; those Of
Germany, on the contrary, are opposed
to that sort, and favor gold money.
AS the price of every thing except labor
goes up with cheap money, it's needless
to say that the unions of monarchical
Germany are wiser than those of re-
publican America.

ANOTHER BANK EMBEzzLnlENF.-
Walker 6. Hammer, teller of the.

was arrested yesterday, charged with
embezzliDg $4,000 ofthe banks funds.

ton, and an official statement will be
given out To-Day.
Hammer is bonded for 49, in the
Guarantee Company Of North America,
and the bank will not lose over 5000.
1t is believed his friends will make
good the entire shortage. Hammer has
been teller of the bank for twenty

Der, and stood high in the esteem of

The New LoAN.-The allotment Of
the new United States per cent. bonds
was completed in New York on Satur-
day evening, and the letters were mail
ed to the successful bidders. Mr.. ]. P.
Morgan stated that the subscriptions in
London, according to the advices,
amounted to $3.50, 1000, 900, which, with
the 5000, 100000 subscriptions in New
York, make the total subscriptions
$3.50, 000, 900. The loan was consequent
ly IL times oversubscribed.
A member of the syndicate states
that it has been considered expedient
to anot abont one.half of the issue on
this side, as the bonds would come
back again eventually and thus be of
no avail as an effectual check to gold
exports.
The small investors who subscribed
for $1,000, 5000 and $1,000 lots re-
ceiye the preference in allotment, as it
is the desire of Messrs. Morgan and
Belmont that the bonds shall lodge as
far as possible in the hands of genuine
investors, who will take them perma.
nently from the market.
