IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES HELD
 OVER HIS REMAINS.
Colonel Kowalsky Delivers a Touch ing Eulogy-The Body Shipped to His
 Family.

Although far from home Edouard Rem enyf, the great violinist who dropped dead last Sunday while entrancing a vast audience in the Orpheum Theater by his matchlesS music, was not forgotten in death by the friends he made in this city. They came nobly to the front to honor their distinguished visitor with eulogy and tears of respect.
 The ceremonies in B'nai B'rith Hall yesterday were sad and impressive. Seat ed around the bier of the departed genius were those who had listened with rapture to his wonderful lowing and who now honored his remains with their presence.
 The Hungarian Society sat on. each side or the coffin, while at the foot were pal- bearers chosen from the ranks of leading musicians and professional men. On the stage Starks Hungarian orchestra dis eoursed pathetic strains, while the gal with hundreds Of both sexes.
 The ceremony opened with the magnif- nicke. As the wailing of the violins filled the room stiffness crept over the hall un- til the music ceased, when the enwrapped lsteners 1eTa, awakened as from a dream, respects to his departed friend in a eulogy that came from the heart; lie told of his rosity. In concluding he said: He played hls last engagement before an earthly audience. He bowed, never again to re- spond to the. plaudits of his admirers. But his soul sped with all haste to that ever lasting home, where angel musicians awaited him-where sorrow is a stranger and where sweetest melodies are ethereal. God rest his soul"

REPUBLICAN, CLUBS LEAGUE. Reception Committee Has a Warm Time Over Communication
 to Senator Perkins.

A little disturbing element crept into the proceedings at the meeting of the re- ception committee of the Republican State Clubs which was held at the Union League clubrooms last night. It occurred over the sending of communication to Senator Perkins, requesting him. as an officer of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, to allow the committee the use of their steamers for a bay excursion to the visiting country delegates number ing TOO, to the convention of Republican clubs on May 31 and June l. The commu- nication was signed by E. M Calvin chairman of the reception committed who presided over the deliberations of last night. A faction led by Colonel Stone was opposed to the sending of such letter to the Senator, which, by the way, had already been sent, Stone claiming that it Savored too much of the stand up and deliver proposition, that the committee had exceeded its powers in sending the communication and that the convention could get along without a bay excursion. The discussion waxed very bitter and 1t was agreed to eliminate the bay excur- sion from the programme. No disposition was made in regard to the letter to Per reply in the matter. At this iunctnre Jesse Marks moved that all the subcom- mittees of the reception committee be dis charged forthwith, and the motion was carried. All that will now be done will be to properly receive the delegates It was reported that Colonel Stone had wired Senator Perkins not to recognize the com munication requesting the use of a yes- sel from his company.

WHOLESALE THEFT
 OF LEAD< PIPE.
DUFFY BROS, PLUMBERS, ARE
 SYSTEMATICALLY ROBBED.
Suspicion Fastened on Two En- ployes of the Firm, Who Will Be Arrested
 To-Day.

Through the efforts of Detectives Ryan and O'Dea the quantity of lead pipe which was systematically stolen from Duffey Brothers, the plumbers, has been recov- cred Yesterday afternoon the detec- tives, who have been working on the case for several days, found about 5000 worth of the stolen property in junk store at T. Nilsson street. It was removed to the Central station and turned over to the property clerk.
 Duffey Brothers have the plumbing con- tract for the new ferry depot, and during the past few months they have missed large quantities of lead pipe. Suspicion was fastened on an employe, but despite the vigilance of the brothers the thefss continued. How they managed to get away with the property puzzles the po- lice. It is believed, however, that after working hours the thieves would drive a dray up to the place where the pipe lay and then cart it away. It was not until about a week ago that Ryan and ODea learned where the stolen property had been disposed of.
 They consulted Duffey Brothers, with the result that it was decided to lay a trap in the hope of catching the thieves. After waiting for several days, and as the sus- poets failed to appear, the detectives con- cluded to move the stuff to the City Hall.
 During the past several months it is claimed that the men have stolen over S50O worth of pipe belonging to Duffey Brothers The detectives know who they are and expect to arrest them to-day.

Discussed the Charter.

A debate was held on the value of the new charter in the Turk street Temple last night under the auspices of the San Francisco Trade and Labor Alliance, an organization made up all most entirely of Socialists The only defender of the new charter who could be found in the hall was Alfred Cridge. He expressed himself as being opposed to the greater portion of it. but said that there was clause in 1t which ren- dered it easy of amendment by the people, so for this reason he favored it. Speeches opposing the charter were made by Neal Bassett, pr. Wiley, P. Ross Martin and many others.

SPAIN AND HER
 TANGLED FINANCES.
Will Endeavor to Float Big Loan Before Sending Aid to the
 Philippines.

LONDON, May 21.-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Daily Mail says: Lieu tenant General Correa, Minister of War, assured me that nothing definite has been decided upon with respect to the expedi- ton to the Philippines. The Government will be guided by circumstances. In off, cal circles here it is believed that Elm peror William will not for the moment answer Joseph Chamberlain's utterances about an Anglo-American alliance, but will wait for Q better opportunity for do- ing so.
 1 am unable to state precisely the req sons why this purpose of the Kaiser should be known here earlier than in any other European capital, but it is so, and Ministers are most positive about 1t.
 Rumors regarding a new big loan have been in circulation for some time. I know from good source that Senor Puigcerver, Minister of Finance, will wait until the Cortes is closed before taking action In that direction. He will then ne- gotiate a loan in gold for twelve million pounds (S60 900 ,000) sterling.

The Line Is to Be Built Over White Pass, and May Ultimately Extend Four Hundred
 Miles Inland.

SEATTLE, May 2o.-Within a few weeks a railroad will be in operation between Skaguay and Lake Bennett, which, it is said, will ultimately run to the Yukon River. The work of con structing the road is in the hands of the Pacific Contract Company, a branch of the White Pass Railroad Company, which is to operate the sys- tenn.
 Tonight contracts were awarded in this city for the purchase of material necessary in the building of the road, as well as for rolling stock.
 Arrangements were made by which the construction trains will be shipped to Skaguay from Seattle the next few days. A large gang of laborers will be sent north with the rolling stock, and will be put at work as soon as it ar rives and be kept in Alaska until the road is built and in operation.
 E. c. Hawkins of Denver is managing head of the construction department. He said tonight:
 The contracts which we have just let involve thousands of dollars. The Illinois Steel Company of Chicago, which is represented in Seattle by Will liam Piggott and William D. Hopins, IldS OtS1l w oI lGN IIlS COIIlA ohCI U oLAp- ply all the steel rails. The contract to supply timber, which includes material for ties, bridges, roundhouses, stations, etc., was awarded to G. M. Forbes of Trinidad, Colo. This timber, I under stand, is to be obtained in both the State of Washington and in Alaska, and is to be of a superior quality.
 'The contract to supply the rolling stock has been let to the Pullman Car Company of Pullman, H., and accord ing te the terms of this contract thirty five cars and three engines, which are to constitute the construction train, will be delivered to Skaguay imme- diately. We have perfected arrange ments to send our first gang of labor CTS to Skaguay next Sunday, and it will be taken thither by M. J. Henry, a railroad engineer, who has the reputa- tion of being one of the most skillful railroad constructors on the Pacific Coast.
 The road is to be built over the White Pass to a point on Lake Bennett, @ distance of approximately forty miles, but from there it is the intention to rush the work of construction to Fort Selkirk. a distance of nearly 400 miles from Skaguay. The men inter- ested in the White Pass Railway Com pany are of both British and American extraction and they have arranged matters in such a way with the Gov ernments of both the United States and Canada that the most feasible route can be adopted"
