which the casket containing the body of
General Lee, rested on base concealed
by black broadcloth. At the outer side
of the casket nearest the audience, and
at the termination of the main aisle the
Confederate battle flag cleaned in
flowers. But more striking in its posi-
ton Of prominence, was great wreath of
white elevated on a standard OF green.
1T was four feet in diameter, elevated
about six feet, and was made of Easter
lilies, white roses, white sweet peas,
with a green foil OF smilax. This design
was sent by the Veteran Cavalry Asso-
citation, Army OF Northern Virginia. A
wreath of flowers almost concealed the
casket from view.
On the top of the casket was a large
wreath of white roses sent by Mrs. Ann
Fitzhugh Brown, the last of Gen. Lee
daughters to marry. BY request of Mrs.
Brown this wreath will be buried with
her father.
General Robert E. Lees pew in
the church was marked today by large
wreath of roses.
General Lees body was wrapped
last night in the folds of Confederate
flag and the grave in which he will be
lowered is lined with another Confeder-
ate flag, the same that draped the sepul-
ere of President Jefferson before the
tomb was sealed.
All trains entering Richmond this
morning brought military commands,
veteran organizations, delegations and
individual admirers and comrades of
General Lee, and the procession which
left the church en- route to Hollywood
Cemetery at 2:45 o'clock will'rival as a
spectacle any military pageant in the
history of Virginia military funerals.
Especial Dispatch to the Alexandria Gazette.l
Richmond, Va, May 4.-The grand
est funeral procession that has marched
here since the refinement of Jefferson
Davis, is moving now in honor of Fitz-
hugh Lees memorial. Ten thousand
citizens are in line and the streets are
thronged with people. Business private
and public is suspended and the whole
is city draped in mourning. The funeral
is moving of without ahitch and the ex-
erci,es will probably last till late in the
evening.

Ukase Did Not Include Jews.

St. Petersburg, May 4.-rhe press
dispatches sent out in regard to the
uksse issued by the Car on Easter grant
ing religious liberty to his subjects, have
been conflicting ON the point as to
whether the imperial decree extended to
the Jews. 1t can be stated once for all
that the Jews are not included in the
provisions OF the ukase. The question
of granting the Jews greater liberty than
they enjoy, at present, is now under
consideration here. IL is announced
that a meeting Of the committee Of min
listers will be held next week to consider
the case of the Jews. II is not expect
ed that any decision will be reached, but
that commission will probably be ap-
pointed to investigate the question of
liberty which it is advisable to grant the
Russian Jews.

The Chicago Strike.


Chicago, May 4.-Governor Deneen's
Office at Springfield is besieged by repre-
sentalives of labor organizations aud. en-
ployers of Chicago, one faction urging
him TO send troops into the city to quell
disorder arising from the teamsters'
strike, and the other body beseeching
him to keep out of the fray all semblance
of military force. Mayor Dunno has
not asked for outside aid, and Chief
O'Neill say he has not yet exhausted his
strength. Sheriff Barrett and bis depu-
ties have not been called on.
4 spread of the strike to several firms
is expected today. All of them have au-
nounced that they will try to make de-
liyeries to concerns affected by the
strike and walkout of drivers is expect
ed to follow.
Some rioting was done last night, dur
ing which several people we're injured,
one fataDlyS
More new policemen will be sworn in
today. Chief O'Neill announces that
1000 men are now on strike duty.
A riot call this morning summoned
the police to Nineteenth and Archer
avenue, the historic Archey Road of the
Dooley stories. A man, the poll ce were
told, had been driven into building BY
negroes. They besieged the building and
threatened to kill the fugitive. A patrol
wagon loaded with police, rushed TO the
scene. A big development of the strike
was the declaration of the employers
that they would send out LOO wagons
today. This would be an increase of
500 over yesterday.
There were scenes Of great activity at
all the barns where strike breakers are
assembled and the police were manoeu-
vred to get out the extra wagons. The
two firms were caught in the strike net
this morning.
A committee of employers comprising
II representatives of the largest business
interests in the city departed shortly
after noon for Springfield, to ask Govern
or Deneen to call out the national guard.
Charles Riebling on his way to work
early this morning was attacked and pro-
badly fatally injured by strike breakers
near the barns of the Employers Team
ing Company.
The riot was one of the worst Of the
strike and speedily got beyond the con-
troll of the policemen on duty, necessitat-
ing the sending in of riot call. Joseph
Lang, boss al the union barn, and sew
eral of his men were on the way to work
when they were set upon by crowd OF
strike breakers assembled at the Em-
ployers' leaning Company barn. Blows
were followed by an exchange of revolt
yer shots. The only casualty WAS the
wonnding of Hansberry. Greatly out
numered the union men fed pursued by
the strike breakers. The latter during
the pursuit encountered Riebling, and
struck him down.
In fight among non-uniOn teamsters
at the non-union headquarters, Adooph
Schmidt was severity beaten. Officials
of the Employers Association, are pre-
pairing to prefer charges against two city
policemen whom they will accuse OF
holding strike breaker Curry while he
was slugged Tuesday afternoon. 1t is
also claimed that city fireman was one
of the men who did the smuggling.
Otis Keith, strike breaker, was
horsewipped By a mob andin attempting
to escape, was run down by trolley car,
and badly hurt.

Nor ONLY history but fiction repeats
itself. Since the recent death OF Gen.
Filzhugh Lee papers throughout the
north have been republishing ac-
counts of the surrender of General
Lee to General Grant at Appomattox,
most Of them describing with some
minuieness the refusal of Grant to accept
Lees sword which they state was Of
fered. This is all Imagination. Gen.
Lee never offered his sword TO Gen.
Grant and this fact is as we'll known as
any in history General Grant in his
personal Memoirs, says:
The much talked-Of surrendering OF
Lees sword and my handing it back,
this and much more that has been said
about it, isthe purest romance. The work

either of us until wrote il in the terms.
There was no generalization, and it did
not occur to me until the moment |
wrote il down. If had happened to
omit it, and General Lee had called my
attention to it, should have put it in
the terms precisely as | acceded 10 the
provision about the soldiers retaining
their horses.
Some time after the surrender General
Lee in talking to friend in Richmond
of the surrender said
No man could have behaved better
THAI General Grant under the circum-
stances. He did not touch my sword
the usual custom is for the sword TO be
received when rendered and then handed
back; he did not touch mine.

Venice a Floating CITY.

Prof Hermann Berdrow, one of the
best living authorities on the geology
of northern Italy, says Venice is un
doubtedly sinking. and nothing car
save it from it's coming fate, says a
Berlin dispatch to the New York
World. He has just returned from a
prolonged and careful examination of
the ground. and mas come to the con.
cIusion that the decay will go on and
increase, one building after another
going, perhaps whole rows of build
ings at once.
The foundations on which Venice is
built are, he says, not foundations at
all, but water pillows, layers of earth
and mud and seaweed, which hun.
dreds, perhaps thousands, of years
have formed. These layers are often
80 to 100 feet thick, but under them
is water, often deep water. The in.
evitable tendency of these water pill
lows is to sink. The builders of Ven
ice drove piles deep into these layers,
and on the piles built palaces and
churches, but knew nothing of the
depths below.
