FORGAVE THE ASSASSIN.
Sonora Canovas Creates Remark
able Scene at the Funeral
of the Premier.

Madrid, Aug. 14.-The funeral of Senior
Canovas del Castillo yesterday was
most touching and solemn ceremony.
All the troops of the garrison lined the
route along which the cortege moved;
the flags were lowered and the public
buildings, embassies, consulates and clubs
were heavily draped with crepe. More
than 1000 wreathes were deposited III
the death chamber. A salvo of artillery
announced the starting of the funeral pro-
ceSsion which moved slowly through an
enormous crowd in which all heads were
bare and many eyes were weeping. A
peculiarly poignant scene ensued as the
Duke of Sotomayor, Marshal Martinez
Campos, Marquis Pazo de La Merrzed
and the other pallbearers lifted the cof-
fin. Sonora CanoVas, in clear and firm
tone, said:
Il desire that all should know 1 forgive
the assassin. 1t is the greatest sacrifice
[ can make: but | make it for the sake
of what | know of my husbands great
heart"
Through the entire distance between
the death chamber and the church, the
road was strewn with flowers and lau-
rels.
Senior Sagasta headed the cortege which
was formed of militia, deputies, senators,
generals. admirals and delegations rep
resenting all the principal public bodies.
The wreath of the Queen Regent rested
upon the coffin and other floral tributes
were carried in special carriags.
All the shops in the city were closed
and a very large proportion of the popu-
lace that thronged the streets appeared
in mourning garb. The entire garrison
marched past the coffin and the service
lasted from till 7:30 p. m.
The remains of Senior Canovas We're
inferred in the family vault in the st. Isl

Houghton, Mich, Aug. 14.-[Special.l
The proposition to erect a mOnu-
ment to DR.. Douglass Houghton, in this

will probably result in the erection of Il

cation of Sig. TrentanOve's bronze replica
of the statue of Pere Marquette in the
city bearing his name. DR.. Houghton

of the first iron mine of Lake Superior
