Body Of Major George Clinton
Removed
10 GUNS FIRED IN HONOR
The Remains Were Escorted From
Cemetery to Union Station by Mil
itary, Patriotic and Commercial
Organizations.

WASHINGTON, May 27. : Alter

Clinton, once Major-General IN the
Revolutionary Army, first Governor
OF New York and a former Vice
President OF the United States, was
today removed to New York City on
its way to Kingston, n. Y, Tor hnal

Not since the death OF President
Mckinley has funeral been marked
Eith such elebarotely great honors.
The remains were escorted from the
cemetery to the Union Station by
military, patriotic, civic and CONNER
eial organizations, representatives OF
the State of New York and descend
ants of Governor Clinton. For the
FIRST time in the history OF military
funerals, at the request OF the War
Department, women participated in
the ceremonies incident to the dis
interment. General Franklin Bell,
chief OF staff, U. S. A., was chief mar
shal of the procession.
The troops assembled at the ceme-
tery and after receiving the casket,
the crowd marched with it to the
Union Station, where it was received
by representatives OF various pa
triotic societies of women On COM
pletion of this ceremony the casket
was delivered to the guard OF honor.
As the body was, carried from the
spot where it had rested for 90 years
to the station, the trumpters and
dru4nmers sounded the generals
march, and the United States Marine
Band played a dirge. In the mean
time, a field battery fired salute OF
Ig guns im honor Of the distinguished
dead.
The reinterment will take place in
Kingston on May 80 near the spot
where Clinton took the oath OF Office
As Governor of New York in l777.
Rev. Roswell R. Hoes, Chaplain, U.
S. n, former resident Of Kingston,
originated the idea of removing the
body of Governor Clinton to Kings
ton, believing that it should not pet-
manently rest away from the scene
Of the patriots activity.

The House had no sooner recorded
its verdict than it was hurried over
to the Senate shortly before 5 o'clock
with the announcement OF the ap-
report was read and after reading had
been concluded Aldrich announced
that tomorrow after routine Of bust
ness he would move to take up the
report and continue its consideration
ntil it was disposed of. In reply to
question by Culberson, Aldrich stat
ed that the Democratic conferees of
the Senate and the House had not
concurred in the conference report.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-05-28

WASHINGTON, May I.-The in
terest in the proceedings in the
House today centered in report OF
conferees on the currency bill. After
an hours debate the report was
adopted 100 to 140, the Democrats
voting against it. Fourteen insurgent
Republicans voted with opposition.
The debate by unanimous consent
was fved at one hour. After the re-
port had been agreed to, the members
vanished and it was with great diff
Guilty that the quorum had to be OBJ
tanned for by subsequent roll calls.
The conference report on the omni-
bus, public lands bill and the Senate
amendments to the bill granting OBJ
solete ordinance to the various insti-
tutions and organizations was also
agreed to. After passing the bill re-
vising the tariff laws Of the Philip
pines, placing the agricultural ma
chinery and other articles on free list,
the House recessed until tomorrow.
The Democratic Senators spent
much OF the day in an informal con-
ference among themselves as to the
proper course to pursue with refer
ence to the bill and decided upon
conference to be held tomorrow as
the best means OF affording an oppor-
tunity for an exchange OF views with
out binding any one. 1t was decided
to summon all the absent Democratic
Senators to return. Practically the
only point remaining unsettled is the
time when vote will be taken. No
one doubts that the report be de-
and the bill carried As the
situation now appears, the time for
voting and the consequent final adj
journment Of Congress depends
largely upon Senator La Toilette. So
far as they have spoken the democrats
are inclined to permit final action
after a comparatively brief consid-
Grafton. They simply desire to enum-
crate what they believe to be objec-
tionable features Of the new bill and
also point out the supposed inconsist-
encies of the Republican leaders
The meeting OF the Democrats to-
morrow will be conference and not
a caucus there will be no effort to
bind the participants. La Toilette re-
fused to outline his probable course
further than to say he voted against
the bill. He was in a conference with
the Democratic leaders at different
times during the day and his bearing
was such as to lead to the conclusion
that if the Democrats would agree to
fight the measure he would assist
them. Aldrich did not expect to speak
on the bill except to make a brief
An opinion was expressed
by Aldrich that the whole bill is more
of half faith cure, and that if he add
ed more it is just what the country
needs.
THE temper of the Senate seems
better now than when the Senate
passd the bill in the first plac," said
Aldricl.
Even the Democratic senator's who
were disposed to vote against the bill
were anxious to get home and it may
be possible to adjourn on Friday.
WASHINGTON, May 27-The
emergency currency law is assured.

versatile statesman at its head taken
rank with first cabinet Office and fof
several years has occupied the most
conspicuous and trying position be-
fore the world by reason of its re-
sponsibility for our colonial policy
in which there was no precedent TO
guide us.
The treasury department ceased
to be a mere instrument for the re-
lief of spectators in crop moving
times and became the leader In a
movement to reform the currency
system of the nation.
The postoffice department from
a patronage dispensing bureau is
becoming the model business institu-
ton of the age. The interior depart
ment. popularity regarded as govern
mental agency for the distribution OF
largesses to whomsoever possessed
the acumen to find what he wanted
and the political pull to get 1t, has
become an economic instrument for
the protection of the public domain
from plumber. The department of
agriculture in its pure food and drug
regulations is doing for the people
what the interior department is doing
for their wealth. The department OF
justice is busy with the enemies of
the republic. The department of
commerce and labor is grinding out
statistics and information on which
commercial interests of the country
have come to rely with as much de-
pendence as they do on the weather
reports. Even the navy portfolio
has ceased to be sinecure and the
great feet Is on mission that is
shaping world policies and making
good our own.
II is Roosevelt's initiative, and
yet. in as much as he Is a part of this
administration. Secretary Taft may
well ask the Endorsement of popular
suffrage. How much Of that credit
is due him he will have four months
in which to show. This campaign is
not going TO be an oratorical combat.
Taft will undertake to produce facts
"A record of achievement, of poll
cies. with which he is identified and
which are continuous, demanding the
administration of one, whose under
standing and sympathy is identical
with the one that shaped them.
Ii is no shame to the Republican
party that II must call attention to
the achievements of one man and
his cabinet; for after all what boots
it whether the work be done in the
name of Democracy or the Republi-
can party? II is her ability to pro-
duce the man the crisis demands,
that has kept the Republican party
in power these many changing years;
and If ever this fecund mistress of
our destiny becomes sterile with
years and unresponsive to the Times
desires, she will yield her prestige to
a younger jade. still honored for her
sons sakes, a creature of sidecombs
and spitcurls. remembering birth
days and recalling with recurrent
bitterness what some one, who had
died a hundred years before, might
have done in such a crisis.
The man. the hour and his poll
cies-these are the issues. Has
Roosevelt done right? Has Taft
been tried? Is he the man to prose-
cute those policies?
Never mind his politics.
