Funeral of Rev. Mckee.

The largest assemblage Of people ever
gathered together in Butler was that at
the funeral of the late John Shields Nc
Kee ID. D., last Saturday afternoon. In
the church building which stands a
monument to this grand and good man,
on the spot where for nearly nineteen
years he had spoken TO his flock in the
fear and love of God, were assembled a
great concourse of all denominations
and from every walk Of life. many of
whom had come long distances.
1t is estimated that 1900 were seated
in the church and it is safe TO say that
several hundred tried in vain to gain
admittance.
DR.. McKee's pulpit was draped in
black. In front Of it was arranged a
great bank Of floral tributes to his
memory.
The funeral services were conducted
by Pres. r. q. Ferguson OF Westminster
College. Rev. DIR. McClelland made a
brief opening prayer Rev. DR. Nc
Caslin Of Greenyille read the scriptures
which was followed by prayer by DIR.
r. NJ Russell, pastor Of the Sixth
United Presbyterian church Of Pitts
burg. in which DIR. Mckee was baptized
and raised
DIR. Ferguson then paid most touch
ing tribute to the memory of his de-
ceased co-laborer In the Lords vine
yard One of his closing sentences was
Earth is poorer by thy going and
Heaven richer"
DR.. Prugh of ST. Pauls Orphans home
spoke as the representative Of the But
Ter clergy, and ReYJ. Hal. Broaden Of
the West Sunbury United Presbyterian
church, told Of DIR. McKees faithful
and untiring work in Butler Presbytery.
Rev. Dr. w. ID. Witherspoon of Allie
gheny spoke of DIR. McKee's quit, I'M
assuming. yet never failing and all inn
portant work as clerk of the First Synod
of the West and as President of the
Board Of Directors Of Westminster col
Iege. During the service the choir sang
the 23d, 6lst, ADD and 121st Psalms
DR.. S. w. Grier, President Of the
Allegheny Theological Seminary, pro
nounced the benediction. The audience
were then accorded one brief sad glance
at the face that once shown with kind
illness and helpful hope, with charity for
all, with zeal for the work Of his Master.
Then all that was earthly of John s.
Mckee was born to the North cemetery
and laid to rest.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

With lavish display Of floral and
feminine beauty, the extraordinary SEES
sions of the United States senate opened
at noon last Thursday. The new mem
bers were sworn in, the message from
the president was read and the prelimi
naries were attended TO. after which the
senate adjou rned until Monday.
During the short session, Mr.. Can
mons speech in the House, in presenting
the conference report on the general de-
ficiency bill in which he charged that
the senate conferees had resorted to leg
islative blackmail, and attacked the
rules Of the senate, formed the subject
Of some fervid remarks by Mr. Tillman
and by the senate conferees, Messrs
Hale, Allison and Teller.
Senator Quay and party left for
Florida in private car, Thursday
morning.
When Reed Smoot, the new Senator
from Utah, went forward, escorted by
his colleague Senator Kearns, he was
applauded. Two-thirds of those IN the
galleries were women, and yet the
apostle who believes in polygamy but
says he does not practice it, was given
most royal greeting. Whether this was
because he really has half dozen wives
or might have had them if he would and
yet only has one, is matter for con
lecture. Nevertheless he certainly had
no reason TO complain OF his reception.
AS was expected, no objection was made
to his taking the oath Of Office There
will be an investigation OF the charges
against him, Of course. but it is safe to
say he will serve out his six years
term, if he lives, and he looks healthy
enough.
Senator Penrose was the only Senator
without sponsor.
President Roosevelt seems determin-
ed to have the Senate reach a decision
of some kind on the appointment OF
colored men to Office in the South. One
of his first acts Thursday was 10 re
nominate DIR. w. ID. Crum, colored, for
collector of customs at the port of
Charleston. S. G. At the session just
closed DIR. Crums nomination was re-
ported unfavorably from the Committee
on Commerce by the solid vote of the
Democratic members and OF Senators
Jones, Of Nevada, and Perkins, Of Cali
fornia. Republicans Senator Tillman
made bitter fight against Crum and
had much TO do with the action Of the
committee. II is understood that the
President, should similar result be

HARRISBURG.

Last week the Senate appointed a
committee of seven and the House a
committee Of seyen to confer and report
in regard to road legislation. A. NJ.
Douthett, one of our members, had the
honor of being one of the seven compos-
ing the committee from the House. This
is an honor not usually compared on a
new member.
Without a single negative vote the
Goehring Greater Pittsburg bill passed
finally in the Senate Monday night.
Thirty-six Senators, all Of those present,
voted aye. There was no debate. The
bill was first ON the third reading calen-
dar. and, after the title had been read
the roll was called.
On Tuesday serious opposition to the
Greater Dittsburg bill developed in the
House. The fight against it will be
made by members OF the Allegheny
county delegation.
In its present shape the measure is
unsatisfactory to the country members,
and some Of the city members will op
pose 1T. None Of these claim to be
agaist the general proposition, but say
that it is defective in its present form
and, while possibly satisfactory 10 the
cities Of Pittsburg and Allegheny, such
IL not the case in regard to the boroughs
and townships.
Ex-Judge John J. Henderson of Mead
vile takes the place on the superior
court bench vacated by Judge William
w. Porter of Philadelphia. Henderson 3
appointment was sent TO the senate
Monday night along with that of
Michael w. Jacobs OF Harrisburg, TO be
additional law judge Of Dauphin county
vice John w. Simonton, deceased. and
Martin q. Brumbaugh Of Philadelphia
to be a member of the Valley Forge
park commission. The nominations
were confirmed
The Blumle bill, providing that the
state shall give gold medals TO the
mothers Of large families. was favor
ably reported Tuesday afternoon by the
house committee on health and santa
ton. The committe also passed favor
ably on the Kepler bill prohibiting mis-
cegenation.
Mr.. Blumlc has received many com
plimentary letters, but there are ex-
ceptions He received letter from a
Philadelphia man, which reads:
Sir II you are earnest about the pro
posed bill TO reward mothers Of IL chill
dren and over, then you must be n very
foolish person and it is beyond my com
prehension that any constituency should
have elected you. Perhaps you are
simply advertising yourself would
had ! the power-draft bill that
would have for its object the imprison-
ment for one year for each child over
six children that any father Of "A family
produced. so that you would under my
bill, have six years in Jail due you.

In Columbia and Venezuela.

The Colombian Congress to which the
Panama Canal treaty, which our own
Senate is wrestling with, will be submit
ted, was elected during the week 1t is
not positively known, or it has not at
least been positively stated, whether
majority of the members are or are not
in favor of approving the contract into
which the government had previously
entered, but the supporters of the trea-
ty profess to have no fears upon the sub
ject They say that the opposition IS
dying out, and that at Bogota, where
public opinion is most influential, the
feeling is gaining ground that the trea-
ty represents the very best bargain that
Columbia can hope to make and that to
reject it would be an extremely foolish
piece of business.
In this connection it appears that the
coarse pursued by Mr.. Morgan has not
been without some good result. 1t has
convinced many Colombians who had
their doubts upon the point that there
is conflict Of judgment in the United
States as to the value to this country of
the proposed arrangement Had the
treaty been ratified at once without op-
position the cry would have been that
the American Government was eager 70
consummate what it recognized as an
uncommonly good bargain. In the
meanwhile Colombia is so badly in need
Of money that it is making an enormous
increase in her customs duties. For ex-
ample, the duty on cotton goods has
ad valorem; on hardware from 80 to 100
per cent and on wines and spirits from
100 to $50 per cent. A country which
is in the straits indicated by these
figures is not likely to balk at bargain
which will place ten million dollars III
it's treasury
There has been scarcely any news
from Venezuela, but that little has not
been encouraging. The insurrection
against the Castro regime is still going
on, and while the insurgents are ap-
parently unable to make any substan-
tial progress, the government is equally
unable to reduce them to submission.
The situation looks like case Of stale
mate, the more so as it is reported that
Congress cannot be called together for
the lack of quorum. In Venezuela, as
in Colombia, the financial crisis is
acute. Not only have the duties on inn
ports been materially advanced, but
such heavy export duties have been i'm
posed that merchants are finding it i'm
practicable to do business.
At Maracaibo the expectation of cof-
fee has ceased, and the business men de
clare that they are worse off now than
they were during the blockade. So
much for the rasult of chronic nlisgov-
ernment Inquirer.
