THE HITCH AT PEKING.
Russian Minister VIII Not Consent to
Further DecnpitatiOns.

PEKING March 15.-The attitude OF Nj.
De Giers Russian minister, regarding fur
ther punishments is delaying the demand
of ministers of the powers upon the Chi
nese. and the matter has been referred to
the home governments. Mr. Rockhill, the
American special commissioner, says that,
personally, he is in favor of drawing a
clean sheet over additional executions, but
that certain high officials throughout the
provinces are guilty of most barbarous
crimes, and that it is generally recognized
these must be punished, If only as warn
ing TO others. In every case where leniency
was possible, Mr.. Rockhill has advocated
it. but he has felt that in a few cases leni-
ency was out of the question. He says NJ.
De Giers has virtually agreed to certain
additional punishments, but the change in
his attitude is, presumably, attributable to
Russia's annoyance at the interference of
the other powers in the Manchuria affair.
At the latest meeting of the ministers NJ.
De Giers vehemently declared that he
would rather see his right hand cut off
than to consent to further decapitations.
AS regards questions of indemnity, indi-
vidual American claims. Mr.. Rockhill says,
under the arrangement agreed upon by the
minister, will be paid in almost every case.
The arrangement he considers satsfac-
tory and fair to both Chinese and foreign
org

dered by the full choir of the church, COM
posed of twenty of the citys best singers

ed but they will be, as far as possible,
those that were particularly enjoyed by
the distinguished man during his life. DIR.
| Niccolls was chosen by Mrs. Harrison to
| assist DR.. Haines at the services for the
reason that he had spent the past few
| summers in the Adirondack mountains at
a cottage that was very close to the Har-
rison log cabin at Old Forge. General Har-
rison and DR.. Niccolls spent many pleas
ant hour together at Old Forge and more
recently they were associated together on

Assembly known as the revision commit
| tee, the uuty VI Wiiltil ~ 10 confer Will re-
| gard to the revision of the Confession of
Faith of the church. General Harrison and
DR.. Niccolls were almost Of the same age
and were exceedingly congenial compan-
ions. The widow expressed an earnest
wish that the eminent st. Louis minister
be requested TO offcate at the funeral with
DR.. Haines. The order of the services will
| be about as follows:
| Hymn by the choir
| Opening sentences and invocation by
| DR.. Haines.
| Scriptural lesson by DR.. Niccolls.
| Address by Dr.. Haines.
| Prayer by Dr. Niccolls.
Closing hymn by the choir.
| Benediction.
The ceremony at the grave will be very
simple and brief, consisting of a short
prayer and recital of the words usually
spoken as the body is lowered into its
| LIST resting place.

AT THE HARRISON HOME.
Body of General Harrison i'm the
Front ParIor-FIorai Tributes.

The impressive silence of the Harrison
home was unbroken yesterday save late
in the afternoon, when the body of the
dead ex-President was brought down from
the room, in which he breathed his last
into the front parlor. In this beautiful
room the casket that holds the form of
the distinguished deceased stood all last
night, surrounded and almost buried be-
Leath a tropical profusion of flowers.
The floral tributes sent by friends of
the family more than occupy the space of
a single room, and their intoxicating odor
hangs heavy in the atmosphere of all parts
of the mansion. The imposing casket of
dead black rests upon trestles, and over it,
depending almost to the floor on either side
and at the foot is draped flag of large
size the gift of the Loyal Legion trans
mitted by Admiral George Brown. This
hammer is caught in the middle with the
beautiful mourning ribbon of the Legion.
The coffin will be draped with this flag
until it is lowered into the grave at Crown
Hill, Sunday afternoon.
The body will remain in the front parlor
OF the family mansion until 11:3O o'clock
this morning, when 1t will be carried out
by the hands of surviving comrades of
General Harrison from the Seventeen In
fantry Regiment This regiment will act
as the guard Of honor for the body while
it is being taken to and from the State
house to-day, and also during the time It
lies in state under the dome of the Capitol
The pallbearers necessary for to-day's cere-
monies will be chosen from among its
membership. The entire Indiana National
Guard will also be in the escorting pro-
cession to and from the Capitol and in
addition there will be a large number of
carriages containing friends of the de-
ceased and prominent citizens who will
thus testify the veneration in which they
held the late eX-Presdent.

SPEECH IN THE REICHSTAG
DEFINING THE POLICY OF GERMANY
IN REGARD TO CHINA.
Differences of Opinion Among the
Powers Have Arisen, He Says, but
He Hopes They May BE overcome.

LONDON March ia dispatch received
here from Tien-Tsin, by Reuters Tele-
graph Company, dated at that city to-
DAY, at 800 p. m, says "The Russians
are now entrenching in the disputed ter
ritory. A company of the Hong-Kong

while two companies of the Madras pio-
neers, under the command of Major John
son, are held in reserve. Both the Russians
and British are awaiting instructions from
their governments"
PEKING, March 15.-The Russians at
Tien-Tsin took possession of the railway
siding and armed sentries now guard
ing 1t. General Barrow, second in COM
mand of the British forces, hesitates to act,
apparently. in the absence of General Case
lee feeling sure that bloodshed would en-
sue. He had long consultation to-day
with Sir Ernest Satow. British minister.
The Russians are jubilant.

CAPITOL DECORATIONS.
Preparations for Receiving the Body
of General Harrison To-day.

The Statehouse has been decorated in
manner befitting the reception of General
Harrison's body, which will lie in state to-
DAY in a magnificent catafalque directly be-
meath the dome The decorations differ
from those used on the occasions when the
bodies Of General Lawton and Governor
Mount lay in state at the Capitol, in that
there is less display of the national colors
More black has been used, giving the drap-
cries a somber effect, which is only slightly
relieved by an occasional flag looped with
streamers of black Grape, and the green of
the palms and potted plants which are
banked around the catafalque in the ro-
tunda.
Over the catafalque where the body will
rest hangs the large flag that fioated from
the masthead of the battleship Indiana,
and suspended from the balconies of the
rotunda are Grape and flags in profusion.
space has been left Immediately around
the catafalque for the floral offerings that
will be brought from the home of General
Harrison to the Capitol. The marble pillars
which line the corridor from the south to
the north door have been wrapped from the
base to the top with black bunting, an oc-
casional pillar being wrapped in the Ameri-
can flag. The decorations were not COM
pleted until last night.

follows: lone who RS passed through the
same grief you are nov suffering sends you
heartfelt and sincere sympathy"

sTATEHOUsE ARRANGEMENTS
The subcommittee Prepares to Han
die the Crowds.

ut a meeting of the subexecutlve COM
mittee yesterday morning. Paul III. Krauss
offered the services of the Indianapolis
Maennerchor, and this organization will
sing two selections at the Statehouse this
evening between and 9 o'clock.
1t was decided by the committee that, in
order TO handle the crowds properly the
Statehouse grounds should be roped in
and this will be done, so that there will be
no running across the lawns. This precau-
tion, II is felt, will be a benefit to the
people who go to the Statehouse to-day.
The grounds are wet and il Is deemed wise
to prevent people from standing on the
damp soil, thus exposing themselves TO
the danger of sickness. Besides a great
deal of mud would be carried into the build
ing were the crowds allowed the free use
of the grounds. 1t has been decided to
have but one public entrance to the build
ing and this will be through the south
doors, the exit being through the north
doors. Entrance through the east doors
will be limited TO State officers, distin-
guished guests who may be here, and en-
ployes of the building. Admission through
the east door will be by ticket only.
The subexecutive committee held another
brief meeting last night at the Columbia
Club.
