Gen. Gordon Lies In State. j
Atlanta, special.?Banned in uiusbcs
of" flowers, the offerings of loving
friends, and covered with the Confederate
flag, the body of Gen. John B.
Gordon lay in state from early Wednesday
morning until a late hour at
night in the capitol of the State he
loved. Through the long hours unending
lines of veterans, citizens, men,
women and even children, trooped
past the casket, catching a fleeting
glimpse of the dead commander. If
one would know the love and veneration
and grief of Georgia's citizens,
he had but to watch these people.
Sad faces were wet with tears. Old
men who remembered the towering
form in the prime of life, and on the
field of battle, grasped hands in silent
sympathy, for words were powerless
to express the feeling of loss that pervades
the South tonight
Stationed as a guard of honor about
the remains of the body, details from
the State militia stood Immovable and
yet the discipline of the soldier did
not prevent these stern men involuntarily
from brushing aside unbidden
tears as they witnessed some of the
expressions of grief. The body arrived
at Atlanta this morning from Miami,
where his last struggle ended Saturday
night. At the State line of
Georgia it was received from the
hands of Florida's citizens and soldiers
by an escort from the friends
in his own State. At the station here

and, despite the cold of a Georgia winter
day and the early hour, hundreds
had gathered to repeive the remains.
The body was taken at once to the
rotunda cf the State capltol, where a
place of honor had been provided near
the picture of the dead general, placed
on the walls of the capitol when he
was Governor of the State, which
looked down from its draping of black.
Quickly the guard was stationed and
even at the early hour, when these
arangements had been completed, began
the procession which has been
unbroken for 15 hours.
No Truth in Rumor.
New York Special.?A statement
was telegraphed from New Orleans
Wednesday afternoon to the effect
that prices on the cotton exchange
were affected near the close by a
statement that the Associated Press
had issued a war bulletin. As members
of the Associated Press are aware,
no such bulletin was issued by the Associated
Press during the day, and ii
the name of the Association was used
under such circumstances any such
statement was false, and any action ol
this character wa3 reprehensible.
Freedmen's Aid Society.
At a meeting of tho board of managers
of the Freedmen's Aid and
Southern Educational Society, held In
Cincinnati it was decided to rebuild
Walden University at Nashville, Tenn.
which was recently destroyed by fire.
Plans will be formulated soon for the
raising of funds for rebuilding purposes.

Charleston. S. C., Special.?The body
of young Howell, wto disappeared
from his home in Columbia on Christmas
day. and for whom such extensive
searches have been made, was discovered
by hunters this afternoon. He
was murdered and the axe with which
the deed was committed was found
nearby. Hcwell had been struck from
the rear on the crown of his head

reported that Howell had gone to hi?

Atlanta, Special.?Thursday was a
Jay of mourning throughout Georgia
ind all people of the State joined in ^
paying te last ributes of respect and
honor to the memory of Lieutenant
General John B. Gordon, whose mortal
remains were laid in their final resting
place. In every part of the Southland a
business was laid aside and tens of o
thousands gathered In memorial a
meetings in honor of the man who was ii
loved as much for his personal worth o
is for his record in public life. An F
honored leader In tho civil war, twice p
governor of Georgia, three times rep- 1
resenting the State in the United r
States Senate and since the wai; lead- -1
r.g the struggle back to prosperity, his ^
memory is revered as that of no other b
n all the South within the last decade, v
Few men have been* borne to their t
ast resting place amid such surround- b
Ings and with such concourse from b
;very rank as was the body of General t
Gordon in Atlanta. The body had laid t
n state in the rotunda of the State 1
rapitol from early Wednesday morning b
:ill the hour of the final services at
aoon Thursday. During those hours s
50,000 veterans and citizens gazed on ii
:he features that were familiar to so c
many. Men, women and children of g
;oth races have joined in the tribute r
>f respect, and the demise of the Con- >
'ederate leader has been the occasion t
af the gathering of more old soldiers g
.'rom every part of the South than has a
been seen at any but the anual meet- g
;ngs of the United Confederate Veter- 1
ins. of which General Gordon was the b
.Irst and only commander since its or- ^
ionization, thirteen 'years ago.
Everywhere were seen the signs of t
mourning. On all public buildings flags a
Dave flown at half-mast, from 8 o'clock *
in the morning till 4 in the afternoon b
Stins have been fired at half-hour in:ervals,
making seventeen guns, the t
ieutenant colonel's salute. During the t
lours of the funeral business generally a
vas suspended, and during the day n
jells on Use city buildings and the t
Dhnrches were tolled at minute inter- ^
rals. The streets were thronged with ^
.dtizens and visitors from a dozen dif'erent
States. v
The first exercises were held in the
Dall of Representatives at 10 o'clock, v
>ver which Governor J. M. Terrell, of
Georgia, presided. The great hall was ^
:rowded to its limit and in the audi- g
;nce and on the speakers' stand were
nany of the leading men from all G
Darts of the South. Addresses were ^
made during the two hours by Gov- G
>rnor Terrell, General S. D. Lee, who
succeeded General Gordon as crief y
.'ommander of the United Confederate
Veterans; General Clement A. Evans,
;ommander of the pepartment of Tenlessee
of the same organization; Judge
rhomas G. Jones, of Alabama, who was ti
i member of General Gordon's stafT in ^
he civil war; Governor Heyward, of
south Carolina; Chaplain William 0
rones.-of the Confederate Veterans; n
General Bennett H. Young, of Ken- t
:urky; John Temple Graves, of Atlan- .
a; Governor W. S. Jennings, of Florda.
and Albert H. Cox. of Atlanta, c
file burden of these addresses was the
worth of General G-ordou as a private j(
Itizen and as a leader In civil life and
n public endeavor. At the conclusion
)f these exercises the body was taken tl
'rom the capitol to the Central Presby- c
:erian church, across the street from t,
japitol. where the religious ceremonies
>f the day were held. The capacity of
:he church. 1,500, necessarily limited ti
:he number of the attendance and after fj
:he family, the near Wends and the
toted visitors from other States had
teen admitted, the remaining space, by d
equest of Mrs. Gordon, was given to f
veterans and the doors were closed r
ind guarded by police. The casket was
aid on a bier covered with a profusion
tf flowers sent from all parts of the ^
South. Among these contributions r
was a magnificent wreath ordered by 0
:he ex-Confederate members of the
present Congress, a aoume quartexxe
jang, "Lead. Kindly Light," "Just As I 1
\m" and other selections that were tl
,'avorites with General Gordon. b
The services were conducted by Rev. t
)rme Flinn. Prayer was offered by
ilev. W. J. Trobridge, and brief adiresses
were delivered by Rev. Chas. J
I. Nisbet and Rev. Theron Rice, pastor |
)f the church. The more personal char- 11
icter of these services, which were atended
largely by those who had had
;ers6nel acquaintance with the dead
;eneral, were pathetic in the extreme.
The benediction was pronounced by jj
Chaplain Jones and the procession to ^
Dakwood Cemetery was begun.
The order of the procession included
nilitary and civil organizations, be- a
sides hundreds of private citizens. The p
ong line was headed by a detachment

listed on joining the march, though e

,vere needed; old men broken with the ^
relght of years came from long dis- *>

TATUS OF FAR EASTERN QUESTION
ussla Refuses to Accept Dictation
From Japan, and An Embrogllo
Imminent.
London, By Cable.?In what it
[aims is an authoritative statement,
he Daily raphlc Monday morning anounces
that the negotiations have ar.
ived at a stage leaving two points
pon which neither Rusisa nor apan is
aclined to yield, and as to which no
leans of a compromise have yet been
lund. Both these points concern Manhpria
and their acceptance would not
i the slightest modify the legal status
uo or change the administrative sitation
in Manchuria, but apan insists
that they be embodied in a treaty bewcpa
apan and Russia, while Russia,
s a matter of amour propre, refuses to
ccept such dictation at the hands of
apan. Much, however, is still hoped
rom the Czar's influence. The state- /
lent adds: j
"Of course any attempt of Rusisa to
ucrease very largely her naval forces j
n the far East by moving her Black
lea or Baltic fleets, would make war a ''
[uestlon of only a few hours." *<5
This statement seems to be borne out f
Y the Associated Press dispatch from v
'okio yesterday that Japan had reeived
Russia' scommunication, saying
hat Russia would extend the rights
nd privileges already acquired by the
owers in Manchuria under the existng
treaties with China, except in the t
ase of the establishment of foreign '
ettlements. which shows that negotla- J
Iocs are continuing on the question of
lanchuria.
The Daily Mail's Tokio coresponent
says that M. Payloff, the Russian
ainister at 9eoul, has notified the
Korean government that Corean troops
ave crossed the Chinese boundary reeatedly
and committed excesses on
be inhabitants. Th Russian customsfflcials
on the extreme northeastern
order report similar occurrences and
ssert that the Corean9 are burning
Wages and killing people. Minister
'avloff warned the authorities that
uch proceedings will necessitate seere
measures.
The correspondent says that riots
ave broken out at Chyung Chyongdo,
o the province of Pyongan, Corea.
The Daily Mail's Seoul corresponent,
cabling yesterday, makes no
lention of these disturbances, but acording
to The Daily Telegraph's

of The Jiji Shimpo learns
hat a general rising is imminent at

'hong Yang was the scene of the rls3g
which led to the war between

The Daily Mail's Seoul corresponent
says that an armored train with
uick-flring guns from the ships is
