M'KINLEY'S MEMORY HONORED.
Eulogy of Secretary Hay Delivered in
 Washington Yesterday.

Washington, Feb. 27.-In the hall of
 the house of representatives, to-day,
 in the presence of President Roosevelt
 Prince Henry of Prussia, the members of the cabinet, the justices of the su- preme court, the general of the army, and officers of the army and navy who have received the thanks of congress, the ambassadors and other diplomatic representatives of foreign countries, the senators and representatives in congress, and large number of distin- guished guests, Secretary of State John Hay, who was also the head of the cab inet of President Mckinley pronounce ed a eulogy upon his dead chief.
 Four times before this national me- morial services for presidents who have died in office have been held in this hall, two of them, like this, in commemora- tion of chief magistrates who have fallen by the hand of assassins. George Bancroft, the historian, pronounced the eulogy on Lincoln, and James G. Blaine was Garfield's orator. By coincidence to-day was the twentieth anniversary of that on which MT. Blaine delivered his eulogy upon Garfield, and it is also worthy of note that the subject of to- days memorial service was the chair man of the committee that had charge of the arrangements on that occasion. A few days less than year ago, at the head of an imposing civic and military procession, MT. Mckinley passed along Pennsylvania avenue for his second in auguration Six months later the trag- edy occurred at Buffalo, and another procession bore his body through the streets to the rotunda of the capitol where the brief funeral oration was de- livered over his coffin, while the trib- utes of the nations of the earth about his bier told of the universal sorrow. To-day the nation paid it's last official tribute of respect.
 Secretary Hay after going over in an impressive manner the life of the mar tyred president said in conclusion:
 In that mood of high hope, of gener- ! ous expectation, he went to Buffalo, | and there. on the threshold of eternity, l he delivered that memorable speech l worthy for its loftiness of tone it's | blameless morality, it's breadth of view, to be regarded as his testament to the nation. Through all his pride of coun- try and his joy of its success runs the note of solemn warning, as in Kip ling's noble hymn, Lest we forget"

 Committees were sent to see General Superintendent H. F. Thurber of the New York Telephone company whose district covers Manhattan, as far east ward as Greenwich, Conn, and J. c. Riley of the New York and New Jer- sey company The committees reported that Mr. Thurber had refused to see them, but that MT Riley had consented to talk over the issues

The linemen demand s. 50 a day for their foremen, $325 for assistant foremen and a flat rate of $3 for all classes of linemen. This is an increase of fifty cents for foremen and assistants and smaller advance for some of the linemen.

There are sev- eral less important grievances, includ- ng rules, which, the linemen assert are severe.

and grandfather both having been distin-
guished men in their generation. Gen.
Hampton was born In South Carolina in
1878, graduated from the University of
South Carolina, studied law, but spent the
leisure of his life on an ancestral planta-
ton near Columbia. AT an early age he
was elected to the state legislature, but his
outspoken antagonism of the slave trade
gave him an unpopularity that soon caused
his retirement. His earlier life was spent
in raising cotton and sugar and in hunt
ing and other sports. When the civil war
broke out he enlisted in the confederate
army as a private, though he was opposed
to slavery. After short service in the
ranks he raised the Hampton legion
which he commanded throughout the war.
He distinguished himself at Bull Run, was
severely wounded at Seven Pines during
most brilliantly conducted battle, and
for gallantry on that occasion was raised
to the rank of brigadier general. For
bravery at Gettysburg he was made major
general, and for saving Lynchburg from
Sheridan in 1864 he was made lieutenant
general and assigned to the command of
Lees cavalry AT the close of the war Gen.
Hampton was one of the first of the south
erners to submit to the inevitable. and adj
vised a generous policy of reconstruction.
He was elected governor of South Carolina
in 1876 Two years later he was elected to
the United States senate, where he
served until 1891. President Cleveland APP
pointed him United States railroad commits

The demand for the previous question
was sustained, 1903 to 80, but on rising
vote upon Mr.. Payne's motion to close
debate on Friday the opponents of the
motion won. 1O5-12O
The announcement of the result gave
the republican leaders a surprise and
caused some excitement. MIR. Watson
(lnd.), the republican whip, demanded
the ayes and noes. The demand was
sustained by the friends of the bill and
the roll was called. The voting was
followed with intense interest.
While the vote was proceeding sew
eral conferences were held on the re-
publican side. Mr.. Tawney (Minn.),
one of the leaders of the republican OPP
position, had agreed with Mr.. Payne
Tuesday after conference with his
friends that there should be no oppo-
sition to the motion to close debate
and he was bnsily engaged in persuad
ing his friends to keep the agreement.
A number of the democra tic friends of
the bill also broke away from the lead
ers and the result was that Mr.. Payne's
motion was carried easily, the vote be-
ing ayes 1853. noes 1913.

IOWA LEGISLATURE ENDS.
General Asse mbly-Some Tax
alton Measures.

Des Moines, Ia, April 12.-The scs-
sion of the Twenty-ninth general as
scmbly of Iowa closed at s:15 Fri
day evening, though officially it is
supposed to have adjourned at noon.
The delay was caused by the tardy
action of the committee on enrolled
bills. The st. Louis exposition ap-
preparation bill narrowly escaped de-
feat through inability of the con-
ferees to agree, but the house finally
receded and the bill was passed, car
rying $i25,ooo. A bill was passed re-
guiring the state executive council to
fix the tax levy in 1902 to raise 3d.
100000, and in 1903 to raise 100000.
This, it is estimated, will require q
four-mill levy on the present assess
ment. The extraordinary appropsia-
tions for the ensuing biennial period
were $1,60o,oo0. The session enacted
about 225 laws.

REV. T. DEWITT TALMAGE.

It was that Talmage's genius began to as
sert itself most effectively. Yet he served
an apprenticeship of seven years before he
was called to Brooklyn. Central Presby-
terrain church of that place, whose member
ship had greatly dwindled. made the young
divine an offer. He accepted, and within a
few months his success had become so ex-
traordinary that plans for new tabernacle
were on foot. In 1870 the first Brooklyn
tabernacle was built, but fire destroyed it.,
and twice again visited this same flock.
DR.. Talmage was popular lecturer,
and up to the time of his Illness ap-
peared once week in that capacity.
He attracted large audiences, and his
sermons were published weekly in over
thousand religious and secular journals
in this country and Europe, also being
translated into various languages.
Among his writings were the following:
Crumbs Swept Up" 1870; four volumes Of
sermons. 1S72-lS75; denominations of Mod
ern Society,"" 1872; "Old Wells Dug Out"
1874; Sports That KILL" 1875: "Night Sides
of City Life" 1878; 1.-The Brooklyn Taber-
nacle, Collection of 14 Sermons" 1884:
1.-THE Marriage Ring" 1886. DR.. Talmage
supplemented his clerical duties by editing
the Christian at Work from 1873 to 1876; the
Advance, of Chicago, in 1877 and 1873, and
more recently Frank Leslie's Sunday Mag
aZine.

Dattle with Riotcr..

Brussels, April 14.-The gendar-
merle and the rioters fought battle
in the streets just before midnight
Saturday. 1t is known that at least
80 persons were wounded. Three died
later at the hospital. The fighting
is described as worse than any of the
disorders and riots in 1893 and 1899.
The mob, which had assembled in the
Rue Hante, near the Maison du Peu-
pie, pelted the gendarmerie with
bombs containing sulphuric acid and
attacked them with butcher knives,
shouting at the same time 'Long live
the revolution and the republic!" The
gendarmerie fired at will into the
mob and the fire was returned from
revolvers in the hands of people in
windows.
