Alameda. 1.-The funeral of Kate Field,
who died here OIL the 18th inst, took
place the day following. The body was
embalmed and placed in a temporary
vault Final disposition of the remains
will depend entirely upon news which

preparing for her visit to the islands, a
coast paper published statement to
the effect that Miss Field had said she
was going to Hawaii and might die
there ; if she did she wanted her re-
mains taken back to the United States
and buried DO the side of John Brown,
at North Elba, N. Y. The funeral was
attended by President Dole, the mem.
bers Of the cabinet and large number
of leading citizens. Miss Field was
taken i'll the 18th, at Kailua, small
hamlet on Hawaii. She complained OF
feeling pains in her chest, but did not
consider the matter serious. She took q
bad turn and few days later wa.
placed on board of an island steamer
She died half an hour after the vesse
reached this port. Pneumonia was the
cause of death.

appealed from Bardes county. Root.
who is prominent attorney, assailed
in a violent manner the character and
standing of Judge Rose of the Fifth ju.
dicial nistrict For this he was brought
before the judge and fined 800 for con-
tempt in addition to being disbarred
from practice. The supreme court
Reversed the Lower Court
and declares the whole proceeding
irregular. The opinion is by Chief
Justice Wallin. Following is part of
the syllabus:
when language, which is abusive
and of defamatory character, is used by
an attorney at law, and applied to a
judge of the district court in which the
attorney is licensed to practice, and
such language reflects in severe terms
upon the official action of such, with
respect to cases then pending in said
court, and also reflects upon the private
character of said judge, but such
language is not uttered in the court
house, nor in the immediate view and
presence Of the court or any of its
branches, nor uttered with in the sight
or hearing of the judge, in the stores
and in the streets and public places of
the city where court is being held

stitute the offense of contempt of

$ll5, 100000 was due the government
and the debt would mature at an early

moved that the funding bill now on the
calendar be taken up Oh the eighth leg
islative day of the next session and
made the continuous order of business
until action was secured.
Mr.. Morgan, who has made minority
report on the bill, said he cordially
favored the motion, as the subject ought
to be disposed Of at the December ses.
sion, as it was of great importance.
Mr.. Berry Dem., Ark objected tc
any agreement, and raised the point OF
no quorum. Before o quorum could be
summoned, the morning hour expired,
and the filed cheese bill was taken up.
