Ceremonies at the Cem tery—The
Pretldent-Klect One uf the
Chief Mourners.
By the Associated Press,
Fremont. 0., Jan 20.—Taps have been
sounded, the bugles blown tbe beautiful
good night, the last salute fired and all
that ia mortal of Rutherford B. Hayes
Bleeps beneath a mantle of snow by the
side of the devoted companion of hie life.
■The ceremonies of the day were such as
befitted a typical American citizen, sol
dier aud statesman. The simplicity of
the republic ahone forth in bis life and
waß marked in hisobsequies. No eulogy
was said above him; tnat was left for
the future to pronounce, and all who
knew Uie man, father and statesman
unite in saying it haa been wisely so.
The pure, upright aud geDerous good
deeda which drew so suddenly to a cloße
Tuesday night, have nothing to feu-from
the verdict of coming time.
In aome reßpectß the occasion was one
of the most notable in American history.
The only remaining ex-president, soon
again to a»»ume the mantle of responsi
bility, stood beside tho bier of his dead
friend and wept in sorrow for him. The
two men bad some notable qualities in
common, and of all public men few are
more sincere mourners than Grover
Clevelanu, who csme and went ■without
ostentation. A great crowd had gathered
at the depot awaiting his arrival, but
tbe word wise y paßEtd arou.id by tho
citizens'committee prevented any cheer
ing or display there, and he left aa
quietly as he came.
Only serious threat of personal illness
kept President Harrison away and hia
regrets are as keen at his enforced ab
sence as those expressed on every hand
by the family, friends and ihe public.
This wsb a city of mourning today;
business waß suspended, schools were
closed. The morning dawned bright as
tbe unostentatious life of tbe illustrious
dead. iv temperature during the
morning light. Oaks about the family
mansion at Spiegel grove shone in the
sunshine, every twig with ita tracer? of
frost looking like delicate wax The
frost on the broad veranda was pictur
esque and beautiful beyond description
It seemed aa if even harsh winter had
donned a charming robe in honor of the
distinguiabed man whose remains were
soon to be borne to the tomb.
All forenoon thousands passed in
procession through the chamber of
death to view for the last time the well
known features of the dead ex-presi
dent. At 9 o'clock the schoolchildren
of the city marched in a procession,
with the national flig at their head,
past the bier, followed by the civic so
cieties of Fremont. Everything in the
wide, sunny dining room in Which the
remains lay waa in keeping with the
simple life of the departed statesman.
The plain cedar casket, covered with
black cloth, rested iv the center of the
room. The silver plate on the lid
simply bore the inscription: "Ruther
ford B. Hayes, died January 17, 1893."
On his breast rested the decoration of
the enumauder-in-chief of the Loyal
Ls gion, aud on the left lapel of his
dress coat waß the decoration of the
army of West Virginia. Across the
window seat in the south end of the
room stretched a large American flair,
held in place by branches of white and
yellow rosea auu wreatbß of heliotrope.
Two rooms of *he mansion were rilled
with a distinguished company when the
simple service for the dead president
began at 2 o'clonk this afternoon. They
inelnd-d President-elect Grover Cleve
land, members of President Harrison's
cabinet, represenratives of the United
States senate and bouse, representatives
ol the army and uavy, Governor M<:Kin
ley and staff, members of the Ohio legis
'ature and other representative bodies
and trends.
In the front hall were grouped a
double quartet under the leadership ot
Professor Arthur of the Cleveland Con
servatory of Music. A member of Gen
eral Hayes' old legiment, R"V. J. L
Albritton of the Fremont Methodist
church, after a hymn had been sung
reHd the 23 I Psalm, and was followed in
prayer t.v R-v. Dr. Bashford, president
of D-la»Hre college, who officiated at.
the wedding of President Hayes 45 years
ago. Atter another hymn the Lord's
prayer waa repeated impressively, ami
the si mule, solemn services at the houne
»i r. over.
The body-bearers, eight veterans of
General Hayes' old Twenty third regi
ment, lifted the remains and bore them
fiom the mansion, and a long procession
wound out through Spiegel grove, down
Birchard avenue and out to Oakwood
et m- iery, where, owing to the severity
ol the weather, it wu» decided to dis
pense with the G A. E ritual, co after
a eimple benediction was pronounoed,
the remains were consigned to their ael
resting place.
The honorary pall bearers were: Hon.
Charles Foster, secretary of the treas
ury ; Gov. William Mi Kinley. Hon.J.L
Curry, ex minister to Spaiu; Senator

Paris, Jan 20 —The topic of conver

Cornelius Herz The prospect of hie
return to France and tbe possibility that
he will reveal the evidence which he
holds have excited general apprehen

istic circleß the arrest ia regarded with

othera through Heiz's return. Every
body feels that the worßt will come out

examining magistrate.
In view of Herz's capture the Liberte
comes out with a statement that docu
ments seized upon the premises occu
pied by Herz show that Reinach was a
debtor and Herz hie creditor, as affirmed
by Heiz.
There are three counts in the indict

2.000,000 francs received t.y him from

of blackmailing Baron de Reinach.
The total number of Arton checks is
now known to be 1010. Of this number
probably them j ority are excluded from
legal consideration by the statute of lim

these checks, but the judges are bound
to ignore them. The most important
checks in question, however.were drawn
in 1887 and 1888 for the benefit of dep

The Culprit Is Very Kick and Will Keslst
Extradition.
London, Jan. 20 —Dr. Cornelius Herz
was arrested at midnight on a demand
of the French government, on the
charge of having been fraudulently im
plicated iv tbe Panama swindling and
corruption. Tbe detectives assigaed to
make the arrest went about their work
very cautiously, ac, although it was re
ported that Herz was sick, it was
thought from his previous record, both
in America and France, he might be
shamming illness, and would take an
opportunity to escape. I' waa known
that Herz was at the Tankerville hotel,
Bournemouth. Arriving there, the de
tectives were informed that. Herz was
too ill to be seen, but they insisted and
followed the porter to the door. Mrs.
lietz responded to the knock and after
some parley tbe detectives an
nounced their official character
and insisted on being admitted to
tbe outer room, Mrs. Herz retiring
to her husband's sleeping apartment
She came out in a Jew moments. Her
faca showed eignsof great agitation. She
could hardly restrain her tears as she
said: "Geutlemen. Dr. Herz is too ill to
get up. You are welcome to go in and
see for yourselves."
The detectives entered the sleeping
room. Hera was in bed. He had just
been propped up with pillows by his
wife. His face looked pala and wasted ;
his eyes were sunken, and he bore every
sign of being a very aick man. "I know
your business, gentlemen." he said, in
went tone", as if it was diftienl for him
to talk. "You Bee my condition ; I am
willing to go with you if it is possible for
me to he m .ved "
The detectives looked at the man an 1
concluded it would not be proper to take
further action without medical advice.
The doctor who had been attending
Herz was called in. He declared that
Herz was in euch a serious condition
hat he could only he removed at immi
nent, peril of hia life, aud from present,

made energei c preparations to contest
thetffort to extrad te him to France.
He has retained Mr Lewis, a well
known solicitor, and Sir Edward Clarke
and Mr Gill are counsel in the case.
S one surprise is expressed that Herz
should now prepare to contest extradi
tion to the last point, when before his
arrest he professed his readiness to sur
render.

THE CANAL INQUIRY.
M. Amlrieux Throws More Light on the
Panama Ncaud*l
Paris, Jan 20.—Before the parlia
mentary commission of inquiry today,
Andrieux waß called upon to throw
more light upon the bribery of 104 dep
uties. He eaid he did not have
the original of the photographed
lißt which he submitted to the com
mission. The name cut out of the list,
he said, was that of a high political dig
niiary. He promised on his honor not
to reveal tbe name, and he must persist
in bis refusal.
He refused also to give the names
mentioned in M. Arton's notebonk, on
the ground that there was not sufficient
evidence against tbe men, and he did
not wiah to blacken their reputation
ruthlessly.
As to the check endorsed by M Ba
vourat. a clerk, presumably as agent f t
some high personage, VI. Audreiux ssid
he could only refer the commission to
the speech of M Ronvier in tbe cham
ber on his retirement from the ministry
of finance.
Reverting to the De Reinach docu
ments, M. Andrieux Baid ne obtained
memoranda aB to the Thieree coecke
f.om Corneliuß Herz, who received
them from Reinach. Andrieux did not
know thaL Jieinach. -hart, ahuwa the

himself once shown them to Clemen
ceati. Herz, afterward quarreling with
Reinach, had sent to M Conatsns, then
minister of the interior, documents
ahowing that Reinach tried to Doison
him. Subsequently, however, Reinach
and Eferz were reconciled. As to the
checks mentioned in Arton's note book,
Arton alone could give the desired in
formation. Arton was at present in
correspondence with several men in
Paris, uotably with the Boulangist dep
uties, George La Guerre and Terrail
Mermeiux.
On tbe strength of M. Andrieux'e
testimony the commission decided to
summon Deputies Li Guerre and Terroil

before them tomorrow

that Kerns would vote for White, and
he came to Sacrameoto Tuesday to urge
Kernß and Cannon to stand firm with
the Populists.
Bret!! stated he had promised his 6on
ststuents to vote for a Democrat when
the hope of electing a Populist failed.
He refused to retract his charges against
Kernß
Assemblyman Adams testified that
Kerns promised hia vote for Cator for
one day
A number of other witnesses were ex
amined rs to tire agrHPraents hovr they
[ would vote. The general understanding
was that tbe Populists should vote for
Cator until released by the caucus
Assemblyman Jacobsen of Fresno,
testified tba' he had been approached
by certain Democratpj to vote for White.
Patronage had been intimated in a gen
eral way, but no direct oilers were made.
Recess.
Assemblyman Thomas of Santa Clara,
another Populist, understood that mem
bers had no right to withdraw from
their allegiance without the consent of
the caucus. An ex-state treasurer,
whom witness named, had offered that
if appointed superintendent ot the Pan
Francisco mint he would remember
aome friends of witness, if the latter
would vote for a Democratic senator.
Thepeison in question had not given
the source of his authority to make pro
mises.
Assemblyman Barlow of San Luis
Ooispo, a straight-out Populist, said he
pleaded with Kerns, prior to the final
ballot, to cast one vote for Cator, but
Kuns said it was too late.
Replying to questions of Vann, the
Popu ist member of the committee,
Bar.ow said the reaaon why tbe pledge
was drawn up was purposely to find if
there was a Populist who preferred the
Democratic party to bis own. Tbe first
suggestion oi this pledge he heard from
Vann.

Cator as to what conversations he had
with Cannon about patronage. Hei it ,1
Cannon thou* lit he would have a better
standing if White watt elected. Cannon
mentioned no specific office, of which he
wouid have the disposal When Cannon
announced to him that (ioucher was ab
sent and would not vote, be did not say
witness mußt now vote for White. Wit
ness toougtit on the contrary that his
(Kerns') vote was not necessary.
Secretary Biohrech of the Alameda
Democratic county committee testified
hat Breiz ca'led at couuty headqnarierß
before the election and announced that
hi« choice forsenator was Foote. Bretz
had Baid he didn't helong to any party,
as he had not voted for 20 years. Sub
s-qnently the Democratic candidate for
as-euihlvmau was withdrawn and Breti
substituted. The contingency of the
Populists placing a senatorial candidate
in the field had not arisen at the time.
Bretz took the stand in his own be
half and said that before the election he
had been promised by certain Demo
crats that they wonld send him to con
gress if he would "stand in with them."
Bre'z said this would show that they
didn't expect his vote absolutely. He
hsd not agreed to vote with them abso
lutely. He consid red it a greater
wrung for one to betray his party when
! party lines were drawn than to offer his
! vo c for patronage considerations where
party lines were not drawn
The committee decided to defer far
ther action until 7 p m. Monday, when
tbe stenographer will furnish a full
transcript of the testimony taken.
