LAST SAD RITES.
Funeral of the Late Secretary
 Gresham.
A Magnificent Funeral Train En Route to chicago Bearing
 the Illustrlous Dead.

By the Associated Pr sss.
 WASHINGTON, May 29.-The remains of the late Secretary Gresham lay in state in the Arlington annex this morn- ing and many floral tributes were sent. Mrs. Gresham is so broken down in spirit and exhausted by the long vigils that she was forced from the room where the body was after being thirty minutes alone with the dead. At ,9:15 President Cleveland. accompanied by Col. Wilson, who looked far from well, arrived.
 The camera fends took snap shots regardless of the solemnity of the oc- casion. Thirty seconds later the hearse drawn by two black horses dwew up, presently followed the members of the cabinet in the order of their rank. The honorary pail bearers descended the steps and stood with uncovered heads while eight artillerymen carried the casket with slow and solemn tread. The casket was shrouded in the folds oi American flags and the stars and stripes could be hardly discerned for the flowers banked upon the casket.
 The casket was preceded by the pre- sident and cabinet and was borne by the artillerymen to the east room where services took place. The east room was elsborately decorated. Seats were reserved for the kinsfolk of the dead man, President and Mrs. Cleve' land, mem bers of the cabinet and theil , wives.
 The services were simple, the ful burial service of the Methodist Episco pal church. The quartet sang 'Leas Kindly Light" The entire service lasted but fifteen minutes. The funera train, of unusual magnifcence, started at 2 :l5 and will reach Chicago at p m. tomorrow.

manded was the only one which got clear of the sinking ship, the night being dark. She quickly foundered and if the other boats got clear away, the calmness of the sea and the low sandy beach twenty miles distant, should en- able them to effect a landing. As all the passengers were asleep, Hansen fears that few escaped. One hundred and sixty of the passengers and crew are still unaccounted for.
 The following passengers from San Francisco landed safely at Mazatlan before the Colima proceeded toward Manzanillo: E. W. McCutchen, W. c. McCutchen, J. W. c. Maxwell, H. M. Miller, T. F. Dell, G. V. Gray and R. F. Grisby. Among the passengers unaccounted for are Prof. Harold Whiting, Mrs. Whiting, Miss Rose Whiting and two children, of Berkeley. Prof. Whiting occupied chair in the state university. Another is J. E. Chilberg of Seattle who was on his way south to interest Central American coffee planters in new steamship line between Central America and Puget sound.
 The latest dispatch from Mazatlar via New York. says: 'The accident occurred at about 1l:15 o'clock; 160 missing" The inference here is that the vessel struck on rock. The insurance board held a meeting today but took nc action. The agent at Manzanillo vii be notified what to do tomorrow.

WILL IT BE ZULICK?
He May Be the New Governor
 of Arizona.
The President Said to Have Decided Upon the Removal of Governor
 Hughes-His Successor.

The following Associated Press tele. gram IS clipped from the San Francisco Chronicle of May 27:
 NEW YORK, May 26.-A special to the Herald from Washington says: Ari- zona is soon to have change of gov ernor. The president and Secretary Smith have decided to remove the present governor, Hughes. It is al. most certain that ex-GoYernor Zulick, who was governor of Arizona in Cleve. lands first term, will be appointed as Governor Hughes successor.
 Secretary Smith has already spoken to ex-Governor Zulick in the matter and asked him if he would accept the the position. The ex-governor has de. clined to make an answer to the ques tion until vacancy exists, but it is un- derstood that he will accept. The only argument against Governor Zulick's ap pointment in the mind of Secretary Smith is that Governor ZuIick's res idence is in Asbury Park, N. J.

 SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.-Only mssgre and unsatisfactory advices have been received today regarding the laundering of the Pacific Mail company's steamer, Colima, near Manzanillo, Mexico, on Monday night. Pacific Mail officials persist that they have received no noti fcation of the wreck and have tried to discredit entirely the statement of the disaster.
 DeEpatches have been received by the Merchants Exchange and by private shipping firms, sll confirming the tale of the oc can tragedy. Captain Pitts of the steamer San Juan, telegraphed this morning that he had picked up g boat containing nineteen persons. Fourteen were passengers and five members of the crew of the Colima. The San Juan is in search of the other seven boats of the Colima.
 The occupants of the boat picked up are: Cabin passengers-Domingo, AL bano, Gushing, Thornton, A. J. Suther. land, Ruiz; steerage passengere-Jno.W w |. Sara band, H. W. Boyd, Antonio Romiz, G. D. Ross, s. J. O'Niel, J. Rowan, Jose A. Saliz, L. L. Zangerie crew-O. Han sen, third officer; 4. Carpenter, A. K. Richardson, Raymond Aviles and J.. Morel. Two Cushing brothers and lady and gentleman named Thornton. were aboard the ill- fated vessel.
 A cipher message to local shipping firm from third officer Hansen in charge of the boat picked up says About 11:15 on Monday night as the Collma was about fifteen miles from Manzanillo an accident occurred to the machinery.s Hansen believed the boiler burst. The Colima began to sink rapid. ly and scene of disorder and wild con- fusion followed. One boat was lowered and five others were2hung out, but az far as Hansen knows the boat he com.

WHAT MAKES IT 2
December and May Are Brought
 Together.

The oldest inhabitant admits he never saw anything like it-this sort of December weather near the first of June. The sensation Is novel and pleasing and has caused resurrection of overcoats and wraps. As cool weather is probably not prevailing in any northern community. The weather wise are unable to account for 1t but it was rumored yesterday that it WAS g. breath from snow storm in Che north ern part of the territory. Anyway, the atmosphere seems to be edging around to Uncle Sammy Hughes rain storm due here about tomorrow and to be of such intensity that dwelleis in low places will hunt high ground.

Origin of the Cue.

'It is to the Tartars who conquered
China several centuries ago that we are
indebted for this much discussed cue, !"
said Wing Lock, prominent Chinaman.
''You hear a great deal about the laws of
China relating to the wearing of cues
how a Chinaman cannot return TO his
country without his cue, and all that.
Well, it's all bosh. The wearing of a cue
is no more required by law than your gen
tlemen wearing whiskers 1t is custom
and a style, and Chinaman realizes some
truth in the saying that you might as
we'll be out of the earth as out of style. A
Chinaman retains his cue simply because
If he should ever return to his native land
he would not care to go about among his
friends and make himself conspicuous by
such a radical departure from the style of
so many millions of people Strange, too,
that the Chinaman should hold to his cue
with such tenacity when it was originally
imposed upon him as a mark of subjec-
tion. When the Tartars came over and set
a ruler on our throne they decreed that
every Chinaman should wear cue such
as they did. OF course this was at first
CALLING to them, for they could not see OF
touch their plated hair without being re-
minded of their conquest But time heals
all wounds, and it was not long before the
Cinnamon began to cherish the mark OF
subjection as a good fashion or style. This
was also about the style of dress the China
men now wear. 1t is in the cue that q
Chinaman wears his badge of mourning,

pipe smoking as an Art.

Americans, as rule, do not take to
pipes as much as Englishmen, for the rea-
son that very few of them know how to
smoke. They carry their impulsive, ener-
getio natures into their pipe smoking and
puff away as if their existence depended
ON finishing the pipe in given time. l
have seen an American and an English
man sit down for a quiet smoke and chat,
and the American would fill his pipe twice
TO the Englishman's once. A pipe, to be
enjoyed, should be smoked slowly, but
the art in smoking so is to keep the pipe
lighted. This is knack which seems to
only be well understood on the other side
of the pond The average American pipe
smoker uses match after match with every
pipeful. People come in to select tobacco
and the one thing they seek for--it is the
constant ory--is a tobacco that will not
bito the tongue. There is no tobacco
that will come up to this Requirements if
smoked as pipe smokers usually do. It is
not the tobacco, but the heat from the fire
in the bowl, that burns the tongue.-Ex-

RAPID WRITERS.
Gentlemen Who Covered Space at Good
Speed Before There Were Newspapers.

Gentlemen Who Covered Space at Good
Speed Before There Were Newspapers.
The rapidity of the ancient writers is
seen from the great number of works pre-
pared by them. Livy, for instance, wrote
142 books Among the Romans, Cicero of
ten wrote three or four important works
in a single year. OF later writers, DIR.
johnson, Scott and Byron were all rapid
writer's Byron, it is related, wrote "The
Corsair'' in ten days, while Scott wrote a
work for which he was paid e1, 600 in ten
days. "Rab and His Friends, by DIR.
John Brown, was written, it is said, at
single sitting.
The story is told that Dean Shipley once
said to Heber, Suppose you write hymn
for the service tomorrow morning" and
by the next morning the hymn known all
around the world, From Greenland's Icy
Mountains" was written, printed and
used in that days missionary service.
Chalmers was once asked how long it took
TO prepare sermon. He replied:
That depends on how long you want
it. Il your sermon is to be half an hour
long, it win take y01 three days; If it is to
be threo-quarters of an hour, it will take
two or perhaps one; but if you are go
ing to preach an hour, then there is not
much occasion to think great deal about

1t is possible for any Chinaman, or
even any Chinese woman, to become
doity by paying for the honor. A few years
ago a rich and devout Chinese lady died
in Soochoo. Her friends thought that an
apotheosis was no more than her due and
communicated with the priests, who inter
viewed the gods on the subject and discov-
cred that the God of the Left Little Toe
Nail had no wife. The old lady was ac-
cordingly married to his godship and is
now enrolled as the Goddess of the Left
Little Toe Nail" The honor cost the old
lady s estate over $4,000.
The principal wind deities were Boreas,

ter, the south, and Eurus, the east wind.
The first was remembered chiefly on ac-
count of love scrape. He fell in love
with a nymph, but could not speak softly
and found himself unable to sigh at all.
Knowing that it was impossible to make
love without soft speech and sighs, he was
about to give up lovemaking as bad job
and go back to his regular business of
blowing, but took advice of an expert
who recommended him to carry off the
girl. He did so, she soon got used to his

AN AFFECTING INCIDENT.
Lost His Wife and Child After Four Years
Separation.


NEW YORK, Feb. Just before the Of
fee of Oelrich & Co. was closed TO the pub
lie last evening one of the most affecting
incidents of the day was witnessed. l..
Liedel, tailor, living in East Fourth
street, this city, asked for information of
his wife and child, who were on board the
Elbe, and are believed to be drowned. He
was much overcome with emotion aud
cried and gesticulated wildly when in
formed that there had been no word re-
ceived of the safety Of his family.
He said that four years ago he came to
this country from Munich. He has pros
pered, and four weeks ago wrote to his
wife Louise, telling her that he had pre-
pared a home for her, and that she must
start at once for this country with her
child She sold her small property and
her business, which realized 1000 marks.
With this she bought her ticket for this
country, and embarked with her little
nest egg and her child ON the i'll fated
Elbe. Liedel says that he will probably
return to Munich, as he does not care to
live in New York now that all he cares for
is lost to him.
The officers of the North German Lloyd
have given for publication the following
figures as the total number of persons on
board the Elbe: Fifteen first cabin, thirty
one second cabin, 1877 steerage ana l40
crew, of which twenty are known to be
saved, making a total of 3l2 lost.

Free Seed Distrlbution.

Hon. J. Sterling Morton, secretary of

government costs too much for the ben
eft it confers, and no doubt it does
Last year 9, 800, S18 packages of seed
were scattered to their constituents by
senators and representatives, Mr.. Nor

these contained flower and vegetable
seeds, and were thus Of comparatively
little value to the great wheat, corn and
cotton farmers of the country.
In 1889 congress appropriated 81, 600
for collecting and distributing rare and
important varieties of seed, - proseout-
ing agricultural Investigations and get
ting farm statistics. The modest 81, 600
thus covered the whole agricultural
bureau. Last year the appropriations for
distributing seeds and farmers bulletins
alone amounted to $I77, $40. Thirty
thousand dollars was the amount allow
ed for the bulletins
In view of the present wasteful and
inefficient methods of seed distribution,
therefore the secretary proposes a
change He has caused to be drafted and
placed before congress a bill to relegate
the seed distribution to the state agri
cultural stations If these always die
their duty, the proposed method would
be much better than the old one.
