ION TWENTIETH anniversary
Of BIaine's Eulogy Upon The Mar
tyred Garfield.
HAY SPEAKS OF MCKINLEY.

Washington, March LIN the great
hall of representatives in the presence
of President Roosevelt, Prince Henry
of Prussia, the members of the cabinet,
the justices OF the supreme court, the
general of the army and officers of the
army and navy who have the thanks
of congress, the ambassadors and other
diplomatic representatives of foreign
countries, the senators and representa-
tives in congress and large number
of distinguished guests, the Hon. John
Hay, McKinley's premier, pronounced
eulogy upon his dead chief.
By a strange coincidence, the day
was the Goth anniversary of that on
which Secretary Blaine, in the same
hall, delivered his eulogy upon the
martyred Garfield and stranger still
the subject of the memorial service was
the chairman of the committee that
had charge of the arrangement on that
occasion. Who then could have dream
ed that the man who escorted the then
president of the United States and the
orator of the day to their places was
destined to be honored like Garfield
with the highest present in the gift of
his country, was to meet the same fate
and was himself to be the next martyr
above whose open grave the nation
would bow its head.
| The doors to the right of the speak
er's rostrum were flung wide and the
members of the diplomatic corps march
ed in, preceded by the sergeant at arms
of the house. The foreign ambassadors
and ministers did not appear in their
court costumes but in sombre frock
coats befitting the occasion with the
exception of the Chinese minister, who
was attired in his rich costume of silk.
| Lord Pauncefote, the British ambas-
sador who is the dean of the corps,
headed the procession. With him were
the ambassadors of the other powers.
In the surrounding galleries were many
of the personal friends of the late pres
ident. But no member of the imme-
date family of the late president SO far
/ dS hnOWA was III dUO6AudACc. OH Vic
floor were many former members of
the house and senate and the governors
of the several states.
By the speakers direction the clerk
read the joint resolutions providing for
the memorial services and the order of
the proceedings. Hardly had the read
| ing been concluded and the journal
| approved before the doorkeeper an
nounced the arrival of the senate.
The Secretary of State John Hay de-
livered the eulogy closing with these
words: There is not one of us but feels
prouder of his native land because the
august figure of Washington presided
over its beginning; no one but vows
it tenderer love because Lincoln
poured out his blood for it; no one but
must feel his devotion for his country
renewed and lxindled when he remem-
bers how Mckinley loved, revered, and
served it, showed in his life how citi-
zen should die, and in his last hour
taught us how gentleman could die.

Naw Rulea For Stockman.

Topeka, March 3.-The State Live
stock Sanitary commission has adopted
a rule requiring all persons shipping
southern cattle into Kansas to make an
affidavit that the cattle were intended
for immediate slaughter, and not for
sale as stockers and feeders. For some
time it has been the practice of the
shippers from the Panhandle country
to bring cattle into the state ostensibly
for Kansas City packers and then sell
them to stockmen. Stockmen took this
action to avoid inspection of cattle.
