COL. SEXTON AT REST.
Executive Committee Will Meet To-
night to Select Successor.

Chicago, Feb. S-Without unnecessary
fornality or pomp the remains of the
late Col. James A. Sexton, commander
in-chief of the G. A. R., were laid at
rest today at Rose Hill cemetery. Com
rades of Columbia post conducted the
services at Memorial hall in the public
library building and at the grave while
other posts of the city attended and
sisted in the simple rites of the order.
Escorted by the CT. A. r. and by de-
clerks the body was taken from the
residence on La Sale avenue at 8
o'clock and conveyed to Memorial hall.
There it lay in state, viewed by hum
dreds of old soldiers and friends until
] 80 o'clock when the ritual service of
the G. A. r. was read by National
Chaplain Daniel Lucas of Indiana polls.
After the forty posts of Cook county
had viewed the remains the funeral
procession formed and the body was
borne to Rose Hill where again the re-
ligious ritual of the G. A. r. was read
and three volleys, the military salute to
the dead, fired over the grave.
The commanders of the forty posts
of Cook county acted as honorary pail
bearers.
Tonight there will be a meeting of the
executive committee of the national
council of the administration G. A. r.
for the purpose of deciding upon a sue
cessor to fill the uneXpired term of the
late commander. The candidates are

AMERICA A FACTOR
In Parliam entary Discussion of a
Chinese Policy.

London, Feb. S.-The debate on the
address in reply to the queens speech
at the opening of parliament yesterday
was continued in the house of com
mons today. Sir Ellis AShmead Bartlett,
Conservative member for the ecclesias-
amendment asking the government to
take early and effective measures to
assist China to maintain her territorial
independence and to enforce the policies
set forth in the resolution of the house
of commons of March 1, 1898. He argued
that it was the only possible policy for
Great Britain. The speaker further as
serted that the policy of spheres of in
f1uence meant the partition of China
and it was doubtful in his opinion if
Great Britain would have the support
of the United States in a policy of par
tition, whereas he believed Great Brit
ain was assured of the support of the
United States if she went in for the
effective policy of maintaining China's
integrity.
In the house of commons on March
1, 1898, the parliamentary secretary of
the foreign office, then Mr.. Curzon,
answering question put by Sir Bart
lett, said: British interests in China
are paramount but not exclusive. The
British nation would not be justified in
regarding legitimate competitors with
efforts to keep in an age of competition
what was won in an age of monopoly.
We can foresee that China will be con-
fronted by greater dangers in the future
than she has been in the past. Great
Britain'S policy was to prevent the dis
ruption and to oppose the alienation of
Chinese territory; and it was not likely
that Great Britain will regard with
satisfaction the attempts of others in
that direction
