Last Rites Over Dead? Statesman
at Cleveland.
BURIAL SERVICES HELD
Silence Reigned Throughout the City
as Farewell Homage Was Being
^ Paid to the Man Who Was
Endeared to Ail.
* The people of Cleveland, Ohio, paid
homage Friday to the memory of their
first citizen, the state at large added
its tribute of respect, antPmany citizens,
distinguished in private and official
life in all parts of the country,
lent their presence at the ceremonies

earth of the remains of the late sena<
tor.
The last rites over his body were
held at St. Paul Episcopal church.
Owing the solemn service Cleveland
*
was a silent city, street raiway and
steam traffic on every line in the city
was stopped for five minutes at 1
o'clock.
Among the distinguished people
present from abroad were J. Pierpont
Morgan and party, of New York; Governor
Durbin, of Indiana, and staff;
George B. Ccx and party of Cincinnati,
and a number of business and social
friends of the dead senator from
%
Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, Pittsburg
and New York.
At >an early hour the chamber ot
commerce, where the body of the dead
statesman had lain In state since
Thursday morning, was besieged by
thousands of workmen with their dinner
pails, on their way to their daily
toit In sUch great numbers did they
assemble that many unable to stand
longer in line, were deprived of a last
look at the face of the dead.
Thousands ol visitors who -had hoped .
to havfit-an opportunity oi passing by
the bier, of the dead senator, also abandoned*
the idea when they saw how
hopeless was their chance of gaining
admission.
At ten o'clock the members of the
* state legislature who recently chose
Mr. Hanna to represent Ohio in the
United States senate drove from their
hotel to .the chamber of conpnerce in a
body and looked for a time upon th,e
face of the dead / tatesman.
The "Washington delegation arrived
s at It:5?, and they, together with the
personal friends of the late senator,
were admitted to the chamber of commerce
between 11 o'clock and noea.
The scene at the bier at this time was
strikingly sad.
When the doors were closed finally
at noon it was estimated that since
the face of the late senator had been
exposed to the public sixty thousand
' people had looked upon it
Promptly at noon the funeral cortege
?eft the chamber of commerce
building for the churcn, preceded by ^
platoon ef police and escorted by military
and civic organizations.
Re^rvations on the centre aisle
were^nfSde for'The family, governors*
stair, the Washington delegation ana
other^istin^iiished guests arid members
the state legislature. The
church was filled long before the hour
for the services to commence, and
thousands lined the streets about the |
edifice. The church services were
brief, but solemnly' impressive, being
interrupted at times by sobs from all
parts hf the church.
Immediately on the close of the service
the body, accompanied by the
family, pallbearers and Bishop Leonard,
proceeded slowly out Euclid avenue
to Lake View cemetery, where a
Una! farewell of the dead was taken in
Wade Memorial chapel. The service
consisted simply of a prayer by the
bishop./
Th? body was deposited in a crypt
fa the chapel to await burial at the
pleasure of the family.*

CZAR URGES PATIENCE. ||
Russian Proclamation Declares that in
Time Japan Will be Thoroughly ,
Chsstiicd for "Treachery.'' i
An o3ieial proclamation explaining
the unpreparcdness of Russia for war
and the necessity for the exercise of .
patience by her people has been issued
at St. Petersburg. It is as follows
:
"Eight days have elapsed since all
Russia was shaken with profound indignation
against an enemy w*ho suddenly
broke off negotiations and by
a treacherous attack tried to obtain
easy success in a war long desired.
Tko Russian nation with natural impatience,
desires prompt vengeance K
and awaits feverishly news from the r
Far East. t
"The unity and strength of the Rus- j
sian people leave no room for doubt
that Japan will receive the chastise- ^
ment she deserves for her treachery
and provocation to war at a time when j
our beloved sovereign desired to main- ^
tain peace among the nations. The
conditions under which hostilities are
being carried on compel us to await
with patience news of the success ol
our troops which cannot occur before j
decisive actions are fought by the Rus- j
sian army.
c
"The distance of the territory and ^
the desire of the emperor to maintain g
peace were the causes of the impossibility
of more complete and effective j.
preparations for war. STuch time is ^
now necessary in order to strike at t
Japan, but it is due the dignity and
might of Russia, while sparing as much v
as possible the shedding of blood of
her children, to inflict just chastise- ^
ment upon the nation which has pro- t
voked the struggle. Russia must await
the event in patience, being sure that
our army will avenge an hundredfold
that provocation. ' _ "Operations
on land must not be ex- d
pected for some time yet, and we can- &
not obtain early news, from the scene t
of war. The, useless shedding of. *
blood Is unworthy the greatness and t!
power of Russia. ?
"Our country displays such unity
and desire for self-sacrifice on behalf C
of the national cause tint all true *
news from the scene of hostilities will 8
be immediately due to the entire na- P
tion." e

note recently sent by Turkey to the 7

"The principality of Bulgaria does tl
not change its attitude of active.

worthy investigations reveal the fol- n

"1. In order to be able to arm all

eight Bulgarian frontier places. " i %
"2. The depots of three frontier di- e

It is learned from an authoritative

district are approximately between .
twenty and twenty-two mihion dollars 11
and the assessment on the average B
stock of goods consumed in the fire 11
was between fifty and fifty-two mil *

SOME DIVERSE VIEWS
Spooner Sustains Cause of President
in Proceedings Resulting in Creation
of New Repuonc?senator
Morgan Heard From.
Ia the senate Tnursday the Panatns
. anal question was again the upper
nost topic, and Mr. Spconer held the
ioor with a speech on that subjeci
luring the greater portion of the day's
session. He discussed many phases
)f the subject, sustaining the course 01
he president throughout the proceed
ngs resulting in the independence oj
Panama. He also contended for the
superiority of the Panama route oyer
:hat of Nicaragua. During his presen
ation of the question Mr. Spooner waj
requently interrupted by Mr. Morgan.
Early in- the day Mr. Tillman enter
id a motion to reconsider the tie vote
>f last Monday by which the bill tc
;rant $150,000 to former Queen Lllou
calani was defeated, but lurth'er con
jideration of the suggestion was nol
jrressed at the time.
Mr. Spooner found a strong argu
nent in favor of the Panama route ir
:he fact that a sea level canal is feas
ble at Panama.
Mr. Morgan took issue with th<
statement relative to a sea level canal
iontending that tho tides in that vicin
ty are such as to render a sea leve
waterway almost out of the question
"And," said Mr. Spooner, interrupting
'I have no doubt that when the time
? j dlno mil
:omes, lN'caragua auu iwva
)e delighted to make the proper con
;essions."
"I don't know," replied Mr. Morgan
'that they will be delighted, but thej
ran be compelled to do'so."
"By the use of guns," Mr. Spoonei
suggested. Mr. Morgan responded 1>j
saying that such an agreement could
>e secured by this government: "at
iasily as it could build a new republic
it Panama." '
Mr. Spoouer defended the presidenl
igainst the charge that he had vioiat
?d the Spooner act in failing to take
he Nicaragua rc/.te when Colombia
ailed to accept the Hay-Herran treaty
f he had taken that course, Mr. Spoon
;r declared that there would have beer
lenators to reprove the president "foi
lis strenuous haste in turning his back
>n a' route in favor of which congress
tad made a solemn declaration.
Mr. Spooner discussed at some
ength the failure of the Hay-Herrar
reaty and during his remarks on thai
>oint Mr. Morgan said that his position
in that treaty had been vindicated.
'The fact remains," said Mr. Spoon
ir, "that the senator from Alabama
pas the only American quoted while
he treaty was under consideration al
k)gota."
"inai, repieu an. luuibuu, nivu^u!
ising from his seat, 'is not the firsi
ime that Satan was accused of quotng
scripture."
Mr. Spooner said that he had observid
that whenever our ships were in
he vicinity there also were French
hips there. "I have no doubt," he
aid, "if on August the 32tn the presllent
had abandoned Panama and gone
o Nicaragua there wouli still have
een ships there, although tbey would
iot have been ours."
"What would they have done " Mr.
dorgan asked.
"They would have taken care ol
Yench interests just as all governnents
are expected to protect their inerests,"
Mr. Spooner replied.
The senate adjourned until Saturday

When the note was first dispatched
i? to the powers the authorities in St.

, to view it with suspicion, and thereJ
fore its reception by the other cani.:
nets was awaited with keen interest.
. | The Russian authorities have obtained

L I given to the note even by Russia's

. hidden pitfall for Russia began to dis.
appear. The Russian authorities have
. new been acquainted with the re'plies
of the remaining powers, including
. that of Japan, and it has practically
, i been decided to give adherence in

Russia explained that she was as
. anxious as the other powers to prevent
^ j disorders in China and to preserve
I its integrity, but that owing to Ruus.

and Russia will make a reservation
on this point She does not desire her

" i Dispatches from the Far East Wed|

L i capture Port Arthur, the stronghold of

t Tokio advices state that numerous
transports, heavily laden with troops
and munitions, are on the sea, and it
t 1 is believed that these transports will
land at places where the Japanese ar

; I Tokio advices report that Japaneie

. Wlju is not a great distance from

British military experts believe

j contemplates the immediate invest
ment and capture of Port Arthur. On
j this theory they explain the contlnuec

I The capture of Port Artnur would
