esteem AT REST

The Distinguished Soldier nnd seam...“
Buried In Chicago.

CHICAGO, May 31. —Without ostentation.

as befittod his life among this people, but
with the military and civic accompani-
ments which ran even with his achieve-
ments as a soldier, judge and statesman.
the remains of Walter Quinton Gresham.
general in the Union armies, judge of. the’
federal courts and secretary of state of the
United States, were temporarily laid to
rest in Oakwaod cemetery this afternoon
amid the flower strewn graves cf his-com-
rades in arms, graves decorated by the
hands of men who had fought them on
many a bloody field and in the shadow of
the monument just dedicated in houor of
the valor of those who had given their
lives for the Confederate cause.

It was a most remarkable juxtaposition.‘

In the earlier hours of the day.cho_rals
and Confederates had joined in the unveil-
ing of ~11 monument of the 6,000 Copied:
crates who had died in the military prison
at Camp Douglass. the Confederate as:
sociaticn had strewn upon the graves of
the Union solders buried there a mass of
flowers brought from the ground over
which those two had fought loss. than a.
generation ago, and: the Union- veterans
had placed upon the graves of. their. fallen
comrades. in the other cemeteries about the

city the. flowers which grow in our own'

latitude, almost 'while the ochOes of the
volley fired over the Confederate burying
ground by the First regiment of state mil~
itia and of the bugle blow and ”t‘t‘a’p'is’z
were still sounding and the smoke from
their rifles was still floating over the field
of peace the cortege of the dead secretary
of state filed in through the gates into the
cemetery. It was a remarkably fitting
climax to the remarkable ceremonies which
had just closed that the remains of the
man who claimed the allegiance of both
the north and the south should be deposit-
ed there—the keystone to the arch of re-
cemented friendship—of which a visible
sign had just been unveiled there. For'as
a soldier he had won the respect of those
who fought him, as a jurist ho had gained
the love of the common people and as sec-
retary of state he had commanded the sup-
port of the people of the south as well as
of the north.

The brief time at command after the de-
cision as to the time and place of burial
left little time for elaborate preparations
for funeral honors to the dead statesman.
In fact, beyond the general outlines, the
arrangements were not completed till
within an hour of the time of carrying
them into oXecution. .In anticipation of
the military feature of the escort, two
troops of cavalry and a battery of light or-
tillery were started from Fort Sheridan,
20 miles north of the city, yesterday after-
noon. Thoy camped last night just north
of the city limits. and this forenoon
marched to Sixty- third street and the Illi-
nois Central tracks. This morning the
Fifteenth infantry, United States regu-
lars, went by train from Fort Sheridan to
the some point, reaching there at 1 o’clock
this afternoon. In the meantime Major
General Wesley Merritt. Colonel H. C.
Corbin. Colonel Crofton, United States
Marshal Arnold and a committee of citi-
zens met in consultation and completed
the arrangements, which were practically
as previously contemplated.

At the cemetery chapel the casket was
removed from the funeral car and burns.
within by eight sergeants of marines The
services, conducted by the Rev. S. J. Mc-
Pherson of the
church, were impressive but simple. con-
sisting merely of Scriptural readings, a
hymn by the choir and prayer. At their
conclusion the remains were temporarily
deposited in the receiving vault of the
cemetery. No salute was fired, the core-
monies concluding with “taps.” The
train had been held at Sixty-third street,
and the presidential party returned to it
and at once started on the return trip to
Washington.

A Pacific Cable Scheme.

MONTREAL, May 31.—The department
of trade and commerce at Ottawa has re-
ceivod information that J. S. Larko, Cana-
dian commercial agent in Australia. has
proposed to the Sydney board of trade a
scheme for building a Pacific cable which
has been very favorably received. The es-
timated cost of the cable is $8, 000.000, and
this amount it is proposed should be her-
rowed at.. 9 1/ per cent interest for 25 years,
on the joint2 cicdits of the countries inter-
estod.

Destituto Nebraska Farmers.

WICHITA, Kan, May 31.—An appeal for
aid for the destitute people of the western
part of Grant county, 0. T., has been is-
sued. The uppeal declares that on account

this spring there are no grain or vegetables
and little grass for cattle and horses. There
is great destitotion, and unless aid is im-
mediate many most starve.

The Significance‘of Air. Livingstcu’s
Trip to Venezuela.

HAS CLEVELAND SHIPPED?

Some Facts \Vlrlch May Have no Impor-
tnnt Bearing In the Matter of Great
Britain's Attempted Aggro!-
sions In South America.

Leonidas F. Livingston of Georgia will
leave New York next Tuesday for Caracas,
Venezuela. at the invitation of the Vene-
zuelan government, whose guest he will
be. He will make a. speech atCaracas on
the Monroe doctrine. as involved in the
Guiana boundary dispute, which will twist
the tail of the British lien as it has not.
been twisted in many months. This Jour-
ney has a significance at this time much:
more important than either the man or

name under favorable consideration for
the Venezuelan mission made vacant by
the recent forced resignation of Minister
’Haselton.

If the president appoints Mr. Livingston
,to this mission, it will be a significant in-
dication that President Cleveland had

the Monroe doctrine in favor of a vigorous
policy against Great Britain’s aggression
in V enezueln. ,

Representative Livingston is the author
of a joint resolution on the British Veno-
zuelan boundary dispute. which passed con-
gress in the closing days of the session. It
declared unequivocally in favor of arbitra-
tion and was strongly anti- British in tone.

Some of the president’s personal sop-
porters in the senate thought the resolu-
tions a little too strong, but they wore
passed. and the president promptly ap-
proved them.

There is but one member of the cabinet
who is opposed to the appointment of Rep-
resentative Livingston to the Venezuelan
mission. and that is Secretary Hoke Smith,
who has been a political opponent of the
congressman ever since he has been in the
cabinet.

\Vhy Bar-kin \Vas \Villin.

Hoke Smith wanted to control the post-
ofiices in the Fifth district of Georgia, and
the president sided with Livingston. Ssc~
rotary Smith has concluded that it would
not be a bad idea to get Livingston out of
the country, as that would keep him from
Working against the secretary when he at-
tempts to secure the nomination to the
United States senate.

But there is even more interesting news.
A cabinet officer is authority for the state-
ment that at a cabinet meeting held about
a month ago, the late Secretary Gresham
being present. President Cleveland dame
out fiat footed against the further advance
of Great Britain in Venezuela. He was so
emphatic as to cause a sensation around
the table.

The fact that the death or resignation
of the late secretary was inevitable was
known to the cabinet officials and to other
close friends of the president. Don M.
Dickinson of Michigan knew it and knew
of thepresidont’s outburst in the cabinet
meeting, and it is believed that his recent
forcible American speech at Detroit was in
a sense the erection of a lightning rod for
the premiership to strike.

There is a strong impression in well in-
formed western circles that the lightning
rod will prove effective.

William C. Whitney gave vent to some
highly American sentiments recently in
London. Mr. Whitney is perhaps the only
Democrat who would refuse the office of

secretar of state if tendered to him by Mr.
Clevolc d. It is not likely to be tendered
to him.

The indications are, however, that the
vigorous American sentiments expressed
by Mr. Clevelandls two former secretaries,
William C. Whitney and Don M. Dickinson,
have had some effect. Mr. Cleveland’s
policy in respect to the Venezuela bound-
ary dispute may be vigorous enough to

. please the most militant diplomatist.

The Duke of Orleans Better.

SEVILLE. May 31.—Tho Duke of Or-
leans, hoad of the royal house of France.
has so far recovered from the injuries
which he received while out hunting as to
be able to leave here today for Gibraltar on
his way to London, where it is expected,
the marriage of his sister. the Princess
Helene of Orleans, to the Duke of Acsta,
nephew of the king of Italy. will take
place on or about June 8.

Governor Morton Overcome by Heat.

NEW YORK, May 31.—Governor Morton
was overcome by the heat on the stand
whllo reviewing the parade at Madison
square. He fainted and sank down. He
was carried to the Fifth Avenue hotel.
but a short distance away. As he was
about to be carried into the hotel hero-
vivod sufficiently to be able to walk with
support. He was all right in a few mo-
ments.

“'ater In Exchange Place. New York.

NEW YORK, May 31.—Workman exca-
vating for a building in Exchange place a
few days ago struck two streams of run-
ning water. The Long Island ferryboats
many years ago came up as far a's Ex-
change place. The ferry was afterward
built over, but was never entirely filled in.

Another Unionist Victory.

EDINBURGH, May 31.—The election of a
member of parliament for West Edinburgh
to succeed Viscount Wolmer, who. by the
recent death of his father. the Earl of Sci-
borno, has become a member of the house
of lords, has resulted in the election of
Lewis McIver, Unionist.

A RELIGIOUS WAR NOW‘ TIEIA COLIIIA DISASTER.

Another Evidence of the Sineerity oi
the Turkish Sultan.

'TO MASSACRE CHRISTIANS.“

Tho Moslonm Naturally Feel That Threats
of Eur-open- Intorforonco Amount-
to Nothing—Tho Armenian .
Situation Grown \Vorse.

JULFA, Russia, May 31. —The press ccr‘o
respondent investigating the situation in:
Armenia sends the following:

Many well informed persons in western.
Persia believe that Asia Minor is on the
eve of a great religious war, which the
sultan of Turkey will force in order to re
tain prosti’ge among Mohammedans, who“
have been grumbling at him for some time
for lokewarmness.

The Sheik Abd-ci- Kadr, a sun of the
great sheik who attacked Urmia, Per—
3111, L4 years ago, has. recently Written
from constantinople to kick bréth'er in the
mountains of Kurdistan that the sultan."
had appointed him. tooommand the. Helm.
dish regiment of irregular Kurdish cav-
alry, together with a force of regular Turk-
ish troops, and that there is to be a great
war. during which he and his troops are
to capture the Russian city of Kara.

As nearly a year has passed since tha‘
Sassoon and Mush massacres and nothing
has been done about them, the Moslems of
Persia are beginning to believe nothing
will be done—that Europe’s protests count
for nothing.‘ As a result the Persians are
beginning to talk of a massacre of Chris-
tians on their own account. I have been
frankly told in Persia that if nothing is
done to punish the Turks for the Sassoon
affair the Persian Moslems will. seek to
win the favor of their God by scourglng
and driving out the Christians.

The Intolernnt Moslems.

Since the Sassoon massacrothe Moslems
have grown more and more. intolerant and
resentful of the presence of Christians,
especially missionaries. Were it not for
the strong band of the Persian government
and the good will and protection of the
shah the Christian population of Persia
would be murdered within a. week. If the
Moharom season (next J one and July)
passes with no unpleasant result. it will
be little short of miraculous. At that
time Moslom fanaticism reaches its high-
est.

The fact that the commission of inquiry
at Mosh hos had no restraining effect on
Kurds and Turks in Armenia has had a
bad effect on tho Moslom mind in Persia,
as it suggests immunity from punishment
for all who persecute Christians.

News just received of an impending mas-
sacre at Bitlls, as well as Von, is not reas-
suring to persons who have been putting
faith in the moral influence attending the
presence of the foreign delegates on the
commission of inquiry at Mush.

The situation in Armenia, instead of
growing better for the presence of the com-
mission df inquiry, has really grown
worse. The Christian population of east-
ern Turkey is at the present moment 11
greater peril than it was the week before
the Sassoon massacre. .

There are , American, English and
French missionaries at many points in
Persia, but the stations in most peril are
Urmia. Salinas, Khoi and Tesriz, all
near the Turkish border.

A Deserted Village.

The village of Baloolan, near Urmia.
was attacked a few days ago by 400 Kurds,
and several men were killed.

Recently a fight took place in a small
village on the Salinas plain.

The village of Balcolan is deserted ex-
cept for a few armed men guarding the
empty houses. A committee from Balco-
inn is in Urmia seeking protection from
the Persian government. During the
attack a Christian woman was shot dead
while bending over the body of her hos-
band, who was slain while defending his
home.

The Kurds sent word that they mean to
remove Balcolan from the earth in revenge
for the death of one of their men.

All roads leading from Persia to Van
have been closed to shot 03 communica-
tion between the revolutionary leaders in
Persia and their agents in Armenia.

The last caravan. that tried to get
through from Khoi was seized. A letter
was found from :11 unknown writer in
Salinas to an Armenian in Van. ' It an-
nounced that 500 armed revolutionists
were waiting in the Persian villages of
Salmas plain for a chance to attack Van.

From the lower valleys, where the snow
has begun to melt, come word that the
Kurds are fighting among themselves.
The Turkish consul at Scotch-Buick, in
Persia, tried to cross into Turkey last week
with an armed escort of 12 men, but was
turned back by the Kurds, who hold all
the roads. The Turkish officials in the
towns near the border were chased out of
the country about the same time by the
Kurds and took refuge in Rovendoz.
where they are now.

' The Armenians hope Kurds and Turks
will exterminate each other.

COLIMA, Mexico, May 31.—A special
messodger came from Manzanillo with
official information. for the governor of
Colima regarding the Colima steamship
disaster of! Manzanillo.

Seventy-five miles below San Blas a
hurricane was encountered, and it was de-

,bated as to whether or not the ship should

attempt to gain partial shelter in the shal-
low and treacherous- Banderas bay, which
has rocks near the entrance, or whether it
were better to push. out to an. One local
Matias Moreno,

says that while couto y steering for

1th to all appearaiicc‘s?” who the usual on-
';ftranoo a slight tremble Woo felt to go

through the ship. It was so faint that it
was hardly apparent except to the trained
sensu of the pilot and captain. ‘ The cap-
tain ordered a slight change in the course
and gave other directions. which were
obeyed. by the ofiicors and crew.

In a very few seconds after the keel
ground on a. rock,lightly,_and. there was at
once great excitement among the officers
and crew and fear on the part of the few
passengers on deck. Following the dan-
ger signal in loss than ten seconds the
great ship crunched on an unknown roof,
and a shudder ran through the hull from
bow to stem.

Terror Stricken Passengers.

The passengers sprang from their berths
in terror and ran out onto the decks,
screaming and praying in a paroxysm of
fear as the awful truth burst upon them.
The wind howled. and a dense pail of fog
hung over the ship as she was tossed by
the surges and began to pound herself to
pieces on the rocks. She rose and fell three
times. and then a crash was board. This
was followed by silence for the space of a
minute..during which time only loud sob-
bing was heard and mufiied prayers.

“Man the boots. ” trumpeted the captain
after a. short interval, in which another
crash was heard from beneath the water.
The boats had previously been made ready
with all the life savers placed at conven-
lent places, although covered from the
view of nervous passengers. Within three
minutes of the first crash in the boil the
ship began to reel from its upright balance,
to settle and to sink in its free hinder
part. The scenes about the lifeboats were
indescribable. According to all the testi-
mony obtainable the panic stricken pas-
sengers and the ship’s crow struggled for
first place, although to the credit of the
crow few of the sailors or ship’ 5 people lost
their presence of mind, but gave their
main attention to saving the passengers.

Only One Boat Load Saved.

There were a number of children on the
passenger list, and one of these was
pitched overboard into the frothlng sea by
a frenzied mother who aimed for one of
tho lifeboats while still open the ‘davlts.

“2% of evident wealth and refine-
men Ofig the passengers, whose name
is thought to be Broslin, or Crosslyn, dis-

played remarkable prescnce of mind. and

in the most trying moments passed among
the frenzied throng oxhorting the people
to keep quiet and taking particular care
of the women and children.

Some of the passengers, not willing to
await the chance of a place in the boats.
seized the life belts and boldly cast them-
selves into the seas to their almost univer-
sal fate. as they ware tossed lifelessly upon
the waves or dashed against the rocks,
which were easily‘obsorved from the fast
sinking ship. The first boat to be lowered
with its heavy burden succeeded in clear-
ing the ship’s sides, but was swept away
by the mighty force and swallowed by the
night of fog. Of this load. only one of the
sailors is known to have escaped the on-
golfing flood which swept over the boat
within five minutes after it was launched.
A similar fate befall all the other boats
with one exception.

HOPING AGAINST HOPE.

The Passenger Agent‘s Absurd Arguments
In the Face of Deplornble Facts.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.—Twenty-four
hours have passed since the news of the
loss of the Pacific mail steamship Colima.
off the Mexican coast, Was received in this
city, and the officials of the Pacific Mail
company are as much in the dark as ever
in regard to the exact loss of life. With
the exception of a brief dispatch from
Manzanillo. giving the names of 14 pas-
sengers and five members of the crew who
were picked up by the steamship San
J oan, not a word has been received about
the disaster. and the fate of the other 161
persons on the ship is in doubt. Monger
as the information about the loss of the
ship is. the officers of the company do not
believe the loss of life was as Leary as re
ported.

General Passenger Agent Avery. who
has traveled the route many times, says
the ocean in the vicinity of Manzanillo is
as qoistas a. millpond at this time of the
year, and the deep water along the coast
enables steamers to make the trip to Pan-
ama in sight of the land. At night, he
says, they usually go out a mile or two
farther for safety. but even then are with-
in sevcn miles of land. He argues. thero- _
fore. that if the Colima want down Mon- -
day night, as reported, the accident could
hardly have been severe enough to prevent
the small boats being lowered and every
body getting away in safety. no says that
if the boats should reach shore in safety
the news of the event would probably not
be received here for a day or two, from the
fact that the telegraph offices on the Mox-
icon coast are few and the facilities poor.

The Pacific Mail oflcials’ latest dispatch
is from Mazatlan, via New York, saying:
"The accident occurred at about 11:15
o’clock; 160 missing.”

A cipher word that is not exactly on
dcrstocd by the steamship company may
change the wording of the message as re-

gards the timo.’1'hc following message
has been received from the agents of the
Firsmen' 5 Fund Insurance company of
