terday afternoon at the residence of his
sister-in-law. Mrs. Manion, where he

Mr.. McCullagh's remains were sur

from co-workers and others at home
and abroad. The services were begun
by singing Of Cardinal Newman's beau

deeds he had known McCullagh to do in
secret. He touched on the religious
views of the deceased. He did not know
if Mr.. McCullagh had any special relig-
ious convictions.

Speakership of the House.
As to the speakership in the lower
house and the position of president pro
tenn in the senate the race is most uncer-
tain. The friends of each of the individual
candidates claim to have the advantage.
The fight for the position of United
States senator is quite as uncertain
Some of the candidates and their
friends, to be sure, claim to have a
sure thing in the race, but to outsiders
things look uncertain. The Chicago
members of the legislature, together
with a large number of politicians, ar
rived at O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
With them came Samuel w. Allerton,
the last of the senatorial candidates to
reach the state capital. Allerton i'm

Both Mason and Madden express the

1t Is also probable that an effort will
be made to pass a law which will ef-
Iectually prevent the fusion OF parties
by making It unlawful for the name

once on the official ballot. As to the
length of the session the consensus OF
opinion seems to be that IL will be q
short one. ending perhaps early In May.
1t Is believed that the law fixing the
compensation OF members at $1,000 for

have this effect.
A large number OF the members OF
