AN ALLIANCE WITH RUSSIA.

London. January l4-Mr. John W.,
Book walter of Ohio, says his observations
in this country have strengthened his
belief that an American alliance With
Russia is more desirable than one with
England, and adds:
1.-The interests Of the United States
and England are radically antsgonistic,
and the attempt TO foster an alliance is an
artificial movement, so far as England
Is concerned.
at has not captured the hearts of
the people. and Is merely a political de
vice with two aims-frst to divert Ameri-
ca 5 attention from conflicting interests
in her own hemisphere; second, to make
the United States Great Britain's cats
paw in her diplomatic game in the
East. She thinks that If she can point
to the United States as an ally she will
be able to extort better terms from Rus
sia. What America wants in the East Is
trade, and she will do more by co-opsra-
tion with Russia than by antagonizing
Russia.
"The latter aleady practically controls
China and will the United States what
she wants, II friendly. 1t would bs mad
ness for England and America to attempt
to cosrce Russia into concessions. The
combined nations of the world could not
whip Russia any more than they could
the United States. The most they could
do would be TO lombard few coast
towns, while Russias railroads could
pour so many soldiers into China that
those England and American could send
in ships would be a handful In compari-
son."

WILL BE AN IMPRESSIVE SERVICE.
Funeral OF Congressman Dfngiey In
House To-day.
ESPECIAL TO THE rREss.l


Washington, January l5.-The cere-
monies In the House on Monday at the
funeral of Governor Dingley will un-
tiou btedly be of a most impressive nature.
The last member OF national prominence
IN be buried from the hall Of the House
was william u. Kelley of Pennsylvania.
such ceremonies in the House are rare,
as by common consent 1t seems to be the
general rule that the great hall shall be
used only for men who have In life been
conspicuously useful in its councils For
nearly II years MIR. Dingley has day In
and day out during the sessions attended
on that rfioor, quiet and reserved at first,
but gradually taking larger and larger
place in its deliberations and conflicts,
uutil he became the Republican leader
upon the floor. from that position he
has been removed while in the full bloom
of his influence and usefulness, and
while men were expecting much of him
In the uncertainties and perplexities of
the days to come. The sensation produced
by this loss, in measure, sudden and
unexpected, for 1t had generally been as
sumed about the House that he would
get we'll, is not liable to be exaggerated
in the accounts which 60 TO the country
from the Capitol.
The funeral will be a notable gather
ing of the high officials and dianitaries
of the government, for Mr.. Dingley was
known personally and respected by ali
of them. The hall of the House will be
decorated with flowers and palms and
will be thrown open to those who are
entitled by official station to attend, as
we'll as those who come as relatives. The
House will meet at IL O'Clock as 1t regu
larly does for a session, the SpeaEer
being in the chair, and the mem bers in
their seats But there will also be present
the Senators, the President and his cabi-
net, the justices of the Supreme Court
many of the foreign diplomats and high
officers Of the army and navy. 1t will be
a gathering of distinguished personages
such as rarely assemblies in this country
to pay the last ceremonies of respect to
u deceased associate.
When the Senate arrives the Vice
President will be given a seat beside the
Speaker: and the family of the decreased
will be given seats in the area before the
speakers desk, and near the spot where
the casket will rest. For such OCCASION
and for such alone the House relaxes
the iron rule which denies the privil'
eges of its floor during session TO any
but those officials who are mentioned ID
its rule.

OF the death of our distinguished elder
brother Nelson Dingley. OF tn 9 class oil
% Though long separated from active

connection with Chi and his Invaluable
services as grand officer OF the fraterni-

In the welfare OF the chapter In later

We realize that by his decease we have
lost brother who combined superior In :
tellectual attainments with high
moral character aud pure Christian lie
to a degree rarely met with among public
men: that the nation has been deprived OF
q leader In national affairs, whose services
TO his country have been incalcuiable at

Although we feel that by carrying In
our hearts his noble example. we can

topic throughout this section, where be
had large number Of personal and

the Unitarian church paid the following
tribute: '"My subject this morning has
@ special fitness to the thoughts and feel

hearts OF SO many of our people today on
account Of the death of our highly hon

the time and place to deliver an eulogy
on the character and work of Mr.. Ding
ley or his service as public man to his
state and the nation for nearly 40 years.
But may be allowed to express feeling
of gratitude to A mighty God for giving
Us "a man to represent our district. whose
character and principles were so unmis-
takably and mistakenly noble and ex
emplary. Mr.. Dingley carried the cup
of honor and virtue uushaken and un.
spilled through the storms Of political
life for nearly 40 years. He had the re-
spect and esteem of his fellow citizens
irrespective of party. Mr. D.ngley was
