'Tis meet the sleeper rest at last
Amidst the Nations honored dead,
Unheralded by sounding brass,
Or by the beat of martial tread
Clothed In no Iurple robe Of state,
For him no honors the glow
OF tender memory for friend
Kind Fortune gave long ago;
No fame memory for
God gifted with iron will,
Whose mighty genius brought to life
The city white upon the hill.
Beneath the skies of boyhood days,
In silent beauty place him here
Within the home which taught him strength,
Beside the heroes revere
And passing winds from DER the hills
Shall bear abroad to all the land
The name of one who led in peace;
OF him who loved his fellow

The funeral train bearing the remains of
the late Alexander Robey Shepherd arrived
here a few minutes before o'clock this
morning. The train was due to arrive from
St Louis over the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad at 6:47. Attached to this regular
train was the funeral car which had come
from Ell Paso, Tex, where the body of the
deceased former Governor Shepherd and
members of his family were placed on the
private ear Edgemere.
The body was borne to Ell Paso Tex,

ton to travel. and in their picturesque

ever called forth the admiration of men.
For hundreds of miles after the body left

mountain defiles on the shoulders of men,

painful to the members of the party who
were bringing from the far-off mining camp
in Mexico the remains of the man whose
greatest fame will live in the city where
his public service was rendered.

brought here and everything needed on the
homeward journey for handling it were

COL. LYNCH'S DEFENSE
His Counsel Pleads That He Was
e. Protected by the Naturaliza- "
= = =, ~ ton Laws.

London, Jan. 22.-The court in which
Colonel Arthur Lynch, member of pa.rlia-
ment for Galway, is being tried on the
charge Of high treason, was again crowded
to-day. After reading the. deposition Of
an American, Lewis Handley, who said
Colonel Lynch had compelled him to take
up arms in behalf Of the Beers at Glen
coe, but who had got off through the in
PREVENTION Of the American consul, coun-
sci for the defense submitted that the
prisoner was protected by the naturaliza-
ton laws. He claimed that man was
entitled to become an alien at any time,
even after the outbreak Of war. He re-
ferred to the war of Independence, and
said there were at least 10000 men Of
British birth in the American mercantile
marine, and asserted that there were
20,000,000 people living in America
who possessed the two nationalities.
Naturalization Act Pleaded.
Counsel commended that Colonel Lynch
took up arms in behalf of the Transvaal
without secrecy and under the mistaken
belief that the naturalization act per-
mitted this, In any event, counsel added
if the court decided the prisoner was q
British subject, he ought to be tried in
Australia, where he was born.
The attorney general, Sir Robert Fin
lay, replying for the prosecution, argued
that Colonel Lynch procured naturalfza-
ton for the purpose Of fighting against his
own country, and added that even could
naturalization cover the prisoners sub
seQuent actions, it could not cover his
anterior reason, namely, adhering to the
queens enemy and declaring his willing
ness to fight against her forces.'' l
The court decided that the naturaliza-
ton act afforded no defense in the pres
ent case. Naturalization was preceded by
taking an oath Of allegiance to the enc
my, which was a reasonable action. The
case was then adjourned. a.

washington, Jan. 2sThe senate COM
mittee on the Philip fnes to-day author
lied favorable report on the Philip
pine tariff bill which recently passed the
house, but amended it SO that instead Of
a Uniform reduction of.25 per cent on

Of duty. II.
On these two commodities the tariff
was fixed at so per cent Of the Dingley
schedule. ...E
This change was made to meet the OBJ
ject1ons of the sugar and tobacco pro-
ducers Of this country, who have claimed
that a duty rate Of only IS per cent on

competition.
The committee also decided to recon-
mend an amendment to the bill admitting

Sundance Coal Is
Sem. Anthracite
A New Seven.Foot Vein Is Found
by General Manager Twombley
at New Location.

1T never rains but it pours.' A. let
ter received from l.. G. Twmnbley.. gem
eral manager OF the Black Hills Syndi-
cate, owners of the Sundance coal
fields, tells of a discovery Of new vein
of coal which Is pronounced seni-an-
thracite.
The letter is 80 full of interest that
it will be given almost in full. Mr..
Twombley says: Il have just returned
from trip to the coal mines and to the
new discovery made on the east side
Of the divide
II found what is certainly the most
valuable outcropping Of coal west of
Pennsylvania, as the outcrop extends
for distance OF 500 feet and the Vein
is at least seven feet thick. 49,. s ?,
1--WE have made an opening about five
feet deep-that is, have tunneled in that
far, but the coal being SO hard, we could
not do much with our picks. The coal
will have to be mined by air-pressure
drills.
Il will send you some coal as we took
it out Of this small opening. But to get
at the best coal it will have to'be worked
systematically. The coal is about 200
feet from the surface, and is over-capped
with sandstone about SO feet thick.
Doubt and skepticism must be cast
to the winds as you see this great body
of fine coal. This property is worth to-
Gay great Oedl more IIidH entire
capitalization. I was simply astonished
at what saw, and when realized that
it was ours and the fact that we are sure
to take a fortune out Of this new dis
covery alone, T determined to stay until
1 have things in fine working order. This
value is simply untold, as can be shown to
any one who Is intelligent. -
1.-THE railroad track will run close by all
our workings, and all arrangements will
be most complete. The development work
on the coal mines to enable us to snip
1000 tons a day Will not cost to exceed
$4,000, in my Judgment. This is a little
more than thought in the first place, as
the coal is in place and very hard"
Isn't that a letter to make a man wish
he owned 10000 shares of the stock OF the
Black Hills Syndicate, owners of these
coal lands? s.E
The inquiry for this stock is nnpre-
cedented In similar enterprises. The peo-
pie who buy include those who want to

declared that Mr.. Quay's course was
clearly out of reason, as Mr.. Durham
had not concluded his remarks.
THAT question was practically deter
mined by the vote Of the senate" re-
marked Mr., Quay. He said he was dis
posed to be courteous to Mr.. Burnhan,
and to listen to his remarks, but If first
one senator and then another opposed to
the omnibus bill took UP three or four
days each, = it was not worth while to
| push the bill further. "A conclusion
said he, no matter what it may be-
| should be reached. in. view of the i'm
portant legislation awaiting action by the
senate"
| He thereupon said he had no objection
to the bill being laid aside until to-day
when, he would move7tQ1 take it up and
keep it before the senate. Then turning
to Mr.. Beveridge, Mr.. Quay said: Il hope
| the senator from Indiana will be prepared
to put up his men,"
! Senator Quay claims that the vote rep
| resents the division Of the senate on the
| statehood bill, and shows that there is g
majority Of ten for the bill admitting Ok.
| Iahoma Arizona and New Mexico as
states. He also claims that Burrows anc
