The interior Of the tomb was decorated
witt ferns so profusely that no sign Of
earth or stone was visible. Dozens Of
eXquisitely beautiful floral tributes were
placed on the tomb and on the ground
close by.
The arrangements for the services az
the grave had been carefully perfected.
There was not the slightest hitch in any
OF the details. After the services at the
grave were over and the people had left,
carts Of earth were unloaded at the
sravoside and the tomb filled and flowers
placed over all. As the people slowly
left the cemetery the distant boom Of
cannon firing the national salute came to
their ears, and by the time the last gun
was fired the night was down and the

INDIANAPOLIS, March 14.-General
Benjamin Harrison died at 4;I5 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon without regaining
consciousness. His death was quiet and
painless, there being gradual sinking
until the end came, which was marked
by a single gasp for breath as life de-
parted from the body OF the great states
man. The relatives. with few excep.
tions, and several Of his old and tried
friends, were at the former presidents

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 49,
Surrounded by fully $1,000 OF his fellow
citizens, the remains Of Benjamin TIarri.
son were Sunday afternoon inferred in
the family lot in Crown Hill cemetery.
Close by the grave were the members Of
his family, President Mckinley and other
visitors OF distinction and the more inti-
mate friends Of General Harrison. Back
distance of 30 yards. behind ropes
gcarded zealously by large force Of
police, stood with uncovered heads the
great multitude who knew him not so
well as they who stood beside the freshly
upturned earth, but who honored him
ard admired him quite as much.
Ii is doubtful if any public man, at
least In this generation, has been borne to
his last resting place among so many
manifestations Of respect. or passionate
grief there was little outside the members
Of his family, but the tribute of respect
was universal. There was no exception
anywhere to the expression that the ma
ton had lost one of its ablest men and
the greatest man of his generation In his
own state.
by the grave stood the chief magistrate
of the nation and behind the ropes were
the street arabs Of General Harrison's
city, every grade of human life in Amer
ica between the two was represented In
the crowd and among them all there was
but the one feeling, that man had died
who was honest at all times, with himself
aud with others. and whose ability and
character were such as the nation could
III afford to lose.
The weather. like that of Saturday,
was splendid. The services at the church
and grave were simple in the extreme,
all in most excellent taste and there was
an utter absence Of friction in everything
thar was done. All was well ordained
and well performed.

MONTREAL March ia syndicate

come to naught.
The idea is to bring grain in the larg-

asked to guarantee bonds on cost Of ele-

aud Watched the Ceremony.
Gathered around the Harrison lot in
Crown Hill cemetery and standing in SOL
ID masses along the winding road which
led to the place were the thousands OF
people who. with bowed heads and mani.
festutions Of sincere sorrow watched the
funeral procession take its way through
the grounds.
u was nearly : o'clock when the line Of
relptives and friends came up the grav-
elled path to the tomb. On the arm Of
Lieutenant Commander Parker Mrs.
Harrison took her place at the head Of
the coffin, which had been Borne to the
side Of the grave by the pallbearers.
Through the heavy mourning veil which
she wore there were visible marked signs
of her grief Her lips trembled contin-
unlly and il was evident that she kept her
emotion under control by a great effort.
Nenr her on the left stood the Generals
son. Russell p. Harrison, with his wife,
aud Mr. and Mrs. Mckee. Colonel Har-
rison kept his eyes fixed upon the casket
never turning them away from it during
the service. Mrs. Russell Harrison and
| Mis-. Mckee were composed, but now
and then little storm of emotion would
| shake them and their faces would be
buried in their handkerchiefs. The
brothers of General Harrison, John Scott
Harrison and Carter Il. Harrison, stood
close together, old men with faces that
revealed how deeply they felt their loss.
| Mrs. Newcomer and Mr.. and Mrs S. V.
| Morris were together at the side Of the
grave. The other relatives stood to the
| left and slightly below them in the circle
which was formed for the service of
burial.
President Mckinley came to the grave
with Mrs. Durbin and stood with her
during the brief service. When the
prayer was offered the president, was
seemingly deep in thought and remained
so with bowed head after the final word
had been said He stood with barred
head Immediately beside the monument OF
/ the Harrison family and once, when the
weariness Of the day had touched him,
seemingly he leaned against it for a mo-
ment. The air had become chilly, but
while some others about the grave to pro
tect their heads barely raised their hats
the president kept his in his hands
throughout the service. Beside him were
Governor Durbn and Private Secretary
Cortelyou.

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report for last week
says: The general situation is still
largely favorable one the primary en-
couraging feature being the fine out
look for the countrys crops. General
distribution, retarded hitherto by the
backward spring, has been stimulated
by warm weather. Industrial condi-
lions head the list of disturbing fea-
lures, but confidence in conservatism
and good counsel is widespread, and
the effect upon general business exert
ed by the largest number of men idle
for several years past has been appar-
emily minimized.
Reports as to quiet trade in iron and
steel come from the east. No special
activity is looked for, however, in this
branch, because large consumers are
we'll supplied. Indeed, Pittsburg fur
naces are booked we'll into July. The
demand for finished goods is as heavy
as ever, with premiums paid for quick
delivery and large new business not
accepted because of the inability OF
manufacturers to promise immediate
shipments. Good reports come from
the western hardware trade, the de
mand in building lines and for barbed
wire fencing being especially active
The boot and shoe and allied trade:
note considerable activity in manufac
turing lines. Leather finds ready pur
chasers among manufacturers east anC
west, and stocks do not accumulate
Hides are steady at the west, but easier
in eastern markets.
Such unanimity as to good crops ha!
rarely been seen at this period of thu
year. Much was made in speculative
grain circles of dry weather at thu
northwest, but recent rains have placed
that section in a favorable condition
as regards the spring wheat. From tn
winter wheat belts reports continue OF
tomistic, especially favorable advice
being received from Kansas, whicl
promises a yield of 100000 900 bushels
and the only anxiety expressed is 70
sufficient supply of labor to harvest tn
enormous crop.

MANY of the oldest and best fam
lilies in Scotland" continues the per
riodical, "send their sons to Scottish
universities where they pay the fees,
like the sons of their humblest neigh

be believed that this will continue If
the fees are paid for them by Mr..

get education at the cost of an Amer
lean ironmonger. We shall next hear
of some Chicago porkpacker propos-

ranged for June or July next, says:
But there is a bright side of the
Americanization of this insignifi.
cant country. 1t ought to make
war impossible. How can the
patriotic American suffer from
Anglophobia when he loves Eng
land so much that he wants to be heI

Work on the SLOGAN Star, near San
don, B. c., will probably be suspended
indefinitely on the first of June.
The Ymir Gold Mines syndicate has
just declared its third dividend of s4S.-
600, making a total distribution to date
of $4,000.
The lead has been found In the lower
tunnel of the l. X. L. at Rossland and
the ore is of high grade, carrying
great deal of free gold.
During the month of April the North
port smelter treated 23,39S dry tons of
ore, 20,91S tons being lie Roi ore and
the balance, 2,4S0 tons, ores from other
mines purchased for fluxing purposes.
The new trust in mining machinery
has been formed, and will be known as
the Allis-Chalmers company. 1t will
have a capital of $36,25O, 900, of which
S20,000,000 will be common. The rest
will be preferred stock, bearing inter
est at the rate of per cent.
Two of the promising young silver
lead properties of the SLOGAN have join
ed the dividend paying class. They are
the Arlington and the Bosun.. The
Arlington has been keeping up ship
ments at such rate that profits of
$4,000 have been distributed among
the shareholders.

LIE Roi shipped $500 tons; Center Star,

1,120; and the Iron Mask, 120. This
brings the total shipments since Janu
airy 1 up to 171,7S2 tons. One cause
for the falling off in the shipments is
the trouble at the Northport smelter
which has now resulted in a strike of
the smelter men there.
