The carriages left by the western drive

sion, which then moved down Pennsylva>

iltion.
The solemn march down the avenue. to
the railroad station was most impressive
1 All the legislative departments were closed
out of respect to the dead secretary, and
K the avenue down which the PROCESSION
passed was lined with spectators. The
1 order of march was this:
I Capt. Austin and squad Of mounted
I police.
J Sixth cavalry band.
I Troops b, e, and G Of the Sixth cavalry.
fcol. G. S. Gordon. commanding.
Gen. Kruger and his staff.
Three batteries of the Fourth artillery
and one of the Third artillery, Col. Clos
E.son, commanding.
Marine band.
The Marine battalion, Col Haywood
commanding.
: The family of the dead secretary did not
. accompany the procession but drove
straight to the station from the hotel.
The first carriage after the military con-
, tanned the physicians who had attended
Mr.. Gresham during his illness. These
g preceded the hearse, after which came
liBishop Hurst. The remaining carriages in
their order were filed by President and
Mrs. Cleveland, Assistant Secretary and
MRS. Uhl. Secretary and Mrs Lamont. At
htorney General and Mrs. Olney, Postmas-
Pter General and Mrs. Wilson, Secretaries
| Herbert and Smith, whose families are
fawsy from the city, Secretary and Miss
Morton, and other personal friends in dip
lomatic and private life of Mr.. and Mrs
I Gresham.
I When the head of the procession reached
Athe main entrance to the station, it halted.
lit was almost noon when the President
and cabinet reached the depot and en-
parked. Mr. Cleveland plainly showed the
effect of his recent Illness. His face was
= flushed and heated, and as he stood with
'fbared head the perspiration streamed
down his face. Although nothing had been
said about it. it was noticed that DR..
Z O'Reilly attended the President and went
I to Chicago with the party. 1t was given
out that this was done on Mrs Gresham's
haccount, but it is believed that the condi-
ttion of the President had as much to do
with the presence of the doctor as any,
thing else. In addition to Minister Romero
sof Mexico Minister Mendonca of Brazil
also formed one of the funeral escort No
representatives of the press were permitted
on board the train.
4 The train pulled out of the station at ex-
I actly fourteen minutes after u o'clock and
4 will run as the second section Of train No.
: 90 which leaves Washington at II :25 a. m.
I 1t was about As minutes behind the regular
i train. The train will reach Pittsburg at
about 9:15 O'clock tonight and is due to
reach Chicago tomorrow morning. No
stops will be made except such as are alb
solutely necessary for the proper running
tof the train.
