lined the route of the procession from One Ash.

the grave.
When the coffin was deposited in the grave
the mourners gathered around in silent medita
tion. according to the custom of the Quakers,
to which sect Mr. Bright belonged.
The dean of Founders college afterward

was lowered into the grave. One was sent from
Biarritz bv Queen Victoria. Attached to it was
her majesty's autograph. Another was from the j

From Wall Street To-Day.
Xf.w York. March 30. 11 a. m.?The stock
market showed no change this morning from
the weakness of the past few days, for while
first prices were almost invariably higher than
last evening's closing quotations, advances
ranging from }?* to H per cent generally,
while Atchison was exceptional with a gain of
1 per cent, the demonstration was renewed
immediately, with all of the weak stocks of yes
terday leading in the downward movement. The
drive was very severe in the first quarter of an
hour, and by "that time the lowest prices of the j
hour were reached, the leading stocks being ;
brought down to the level of yesterday's lowest
figures. The pressure was then removed, and
prices slowlv reacted and most of the loss was
regained. '1 he upward movement became quite
pronounced, and some stocks were carried |
above the opeuing prices. At 11 o'clock the |
niarket was fairly active and strong, generally
at a shade below the opening figures.

TIIK DISASTER AT APIA.
TConNnued /Tom flrst pngr.l
was rated as a 12-knot ship, and carried 200 offi
cers and men.
thA kipsio
I was a Teasel of the old war navy, but after six
year*, repairing at the Washington navy yard
she emerged in 1870 aa a practically new vessel,
little but the old keel remaining. She was
I bark rigged. 185 feet long. 36 feet broad, drew
14.3 feet, displaced 1.375 tons, and was a
?low vessel an things now go. being
set down aa a little over 10 knota in speed. 8he
sailed away from the United States with 180
officers and men aboard, making the total
strength of the American fleet at Samoa. 800
men. or nearly double the strength of the Ger
man forces.
XATTTOTT OF THK lost.
C. H. Hawkins, lost on the Vandalia, was a
Washingtonian. The nativity of the other men,
as far as known, waa aa follows:
Baker, London; Brisbane. Long Island; Brown,
Germanv; Craigen, Dublin; Davis, Boston;
Downey, Baltimore; Ericksson, Sweden; Gor
man. Ireland; Green, Baltimore; Griffin, Ire
land: Ho watt, Troy; Jordan, New York; Stahl
nian, San Francisco; Stanford. California.
Thore of the Nipsic, beside Callan, are aa
follows: Johnson. Annapolis; Kelleher. Ire
land; Poutaell, Belguim; Watson, Ireland; Gill,
Norway; Heap. England.
THK OEBMAN TE88EL8.
The 01 ga had 267 men, the Adler 127 men,
and the little Eber 86 men, yet with one-half of
the number of the American forces these un
fortunate vessels appear to have lost more than
twice as many men. Some naval officers think
thin is an indication that the American vessels
had greater structural strength than the Ger
man ships, or that superior seamanship was
shown.
A naval officer, in commenting on the com
parative loss of life between the American and
Ocrninu vessels, said that it was no doubt due
to the less rigid, careful discipline that
exists on the German men-of-war. Their ac
tual routine rules are, perhaps, as strict as
those on our vessels, but they have not the
same system that enables a crew to save itself.
WITAT CAPT. MEADE BAM OP THK HARBOR.
From Capt. Richard W. Meade, now com
mandant of the Washington navy-yard, who
commanded the U. S. 8. Narragansett in the
Samoan waters in 1872 and made the original
treaty or compact which has led to all the sub
sequent complications with Germany, the fol
lowing description of the weather in the harbor
of Apia is obtained: The harbor of Apia in
Upolu, where American and German ships are
reported wrecked, is a coral reef harbor, with
an entrance about 1.500 yards wide and open to
the north. It is not a large harbor and the an
chorage ground is limited. During the hurri
cane season, which lasts through December,
January, February. March, and April, it is con
sidered rather a risk to remain in Apia, while
Pango Pango, in the neighboring island of Tu
tuila, is perfectly safe, being land-locked and
otherwise sheltered. Hurricane's are, how
ever. not very frequent at the Samoan Islands,
though they occur regularly at the Tonga
group. They generally sweep* up through the
belt <>f ocean between the long* and Samoan
groups.
In April, 1850, and in January, 1R70, the
islands were visited by territic hurricanes
which destroyed the cocoa nut, banana, and
bread fruit crops, reducing the natives to the
verge of starvation for several weeks. These
hurricanes are often accompanied by earth
quakes, which though alone do not cause much
damage yet accompanied by the hurricane
make terrible injury.
On the 26th March, 1883, all the vessels in
Apia harbor except one small schooner were
driven out to sea and lost This was attributed
at the time to a number of heavy tidal waves
caused by an earthquake. On shore consider
able damage was done also.
But on the whole the climate of Samoan
islands, though variable, is very pleasant, the
only bad weather occurring during the winter
mouths. At this time there are long and
heavy rains attended at times with high winds
and northerly gales, but ordinarily the winds
are light and variable, with frequent and sud
den suualls of wind and rain. The rest of the
year the weather is very tine, and from May
to November the trade wind blows steadily
from the southeast.
The telegraphic report of the loss of the
ships of the American and German fleet makes
no mention of the English mau-of-war previ
ously reported there also. She may have had
steam up and have put at once to sea?by far
the safest course nnder all the circumstances.
Except Capt. Mullan of the Nipsic it is not
known that any ot the American commanding
officers hail ever had any experience in these
islands or knew of the risk attending the at
tempt to ride out a hurricane in Apia harbor.
CAPTAIN 8ELFR1DGE OS SAMOAN HURRICANES.
<'aptaiu Selfridge. U. S. N., was found at the
Navy department this morning poring over a
chart of the harbor of Apia, which he visited
several years ago. He said that while it was
a very bad harbor, it was the best on the island
of I'pola. Like all of the Pacifle island harbors,
that of Apia is formed by a coral reef encircling
the island at a short distance from the shore.
The anchorage space available for men-of-war
is contracted, being about 1.000 feet wide at the
mouth of the harbor. The bottom is sandv.
affording slight hold for an anchor, Rnd the
harbor is exposed on the north. On
each side of the entrance are coral
reefs which are awash at high water, and are
surrounded by shoals. The depth of water
ranges from 4 to 8 fathoms, pretty deep water
being found close in shore, which would enable
a ship to get close in. Hurricanes or cyclones
at Apia are usually from the southwest, "and re
volving in the harbors, tend to force vessels on
the rugged reefs or rough shoals. The last
hurricane occurred at Apia just six years ago.
Fortunately no men-of-war were in the harbor^
but every merchantman was driven ashore or
wrecked: houses were destroyed and palm
trees uprooted.
IT 18 THE OPINION OF ADMIRAL HARMONT,
who is also familiar with the Samoan
Islands, that the English man-of-war
owed her escape to the fact that she had
steam up and was enabled to push out to sea.
The very number of vessels lying in the small
harbor waa a source of danger to them individ
ually, for if one dragged her anchors she
would very probably collide with and carry
away another ship which might otherwise have
held securely.
EXPRESSIONS OF REORET.
The news of the disaster created a profound
sensation at the Navy department, and every
employe, from the Secretary down, freely ex
pressed their regret. Secretary Tracy could
not see cause to condemn anv one.
The officers in command of the vessels were
competent men and had doubtless adopted all
proper precautions against disaster, but these
hurricanes, which assumed cyclonic propor
tions, were simply irresistible, as was proved
by the extent of the loss of the vessels.
Lieut. Lucien Young, who is himself almost
the sole survivor of the wreck of the ill-fated
Huron off Cape Hatteras, looked sadly over the
list of the drowned and marked down poor
Roach, the paymaster's clerk, as an old ship
mate gone.
ONE OF THE BEST SHIPS IN THE NAYT.
Capt. Howison, at present the president of
the steel inspection board, com
manded the Vandalia before
Capt. Schoonmaker. He considered that the
Vandalia was one of the strongest and best
ships ot the old navy.
THERE WAS A RUMOB
that Secretary Tracy had received 5
dispatch (from the Maritime exchange of
New York giving confirmatory particulars
of the wrecks at Apia, but dwelling
more in detail on the losses of the Germans.
The Secretary stated to a Stab reporter that be
had not seen nor heard of such a dispatch
cost of the admiral's dirpatch.
At the rate of $3.50 a word, which is under
stood to be the tariff for cable dispatches from
Auckland to Washington, Admiral Kimberleya
; dispatch to the Secretary of the Navy cost in
j the neighborhood of $850.
? It is expected that the detailed reports of
j the wrecks will reach San Francisco by the
steamer of April 13. and will be received here
about the 20th of ApriL
ASIUNO FOB INFORMATION.
Telegrams were received at the Navy depart
ment from Mrs. Schoonmaker, Mr*. Arms, and
Mrs. Sutton (mother of Lieut. Sutton),
asking for information about the
wreck. They were told of all that the depart
ment knew. John Roche, editor of the Boston
Fxlut, the brother of Paymaster's Clerk Boche
waa informed of the latter's death.
CTCLOXES 15 THK SOUTH PACIFIC.
Lieutenant Edw, E. Hayden, retired, ia in
charge of the meteorological division of
the hydrographic office, and ia regarded as
quite an authority on the subject of marine
storms. He said this Afternoon that the cyclonic
storms are a feature of the climate in the
South Iacific region. They have a motion
exactly the reverse of those occurring in
the northern hemisphere, bat otherwise hare
about the same characteristics. Their path is
parabolic and they occur several times a year
on some occa?iona. It again happens
that two or three seasons go by without such
a storm, but not frequently. An experienced sea
man. with a good barometric eye. might detect
the approach of such a storm in the West Indie*
two or three days ia advance, bat that would
depend largely upon the nature of the storm.
The general rule ia that smaller storm* more
more rapidly than the larger ones.
THE GERMAN VESSELS.
The German vessel Olga was a single-decked
cruiser of 2.200 tons displacement and was bnilt
in 1880. She was unarmored and unprotected.
Her principal battery consisted of eight six
inCh Krupp rifles and a number of Hotohkisa
revolving cannon. The Adler and Etyr were
not such large vessels aa the Olga. Tire Adler
carried four and the Eber three Krupp guns.
PENITENTIARY SENTENCES.
A New Rale In the Criminal Court
Persons Sentenced To-Day.
To-day in the Criminal Court. Judge Mont
gomery, several sentences were imposed, and a
material change was made in the wording of
the sentence. For some time past the time of
sentence has commenced at noon from the date
of conviction. If the cases were take to the
Qeneral Term months would sometime# elapse
before the convicts could be taken to the Al
bany penitentiary, and their period of labor in
prison would be curtailed to some extent.
The court to-day in imposing sentences, instead
of using the words "to take effect from the day
of your conviction" "or from to-day," used the
words "to take effect from the day of your ar
rival at the penitentiary." This rule will
doubtless discourage appeals.
The first case called for sentence was that
of Dallas M. De Hughes alias Marion D. New
man alius G. M. 8t. Clair, convicted January
8 last, of false pretenses by means of a false
letter and telegram. The court imposed a
sentence of two and a half years in the Albany
penitentiary. Mr. Campbell Carrington, his
counsel, stating that he desired to take the case
to the Court in General Term, the court di
rected a stay of execution of sentence for sixty
days.
De Hughes, it will be remembered, was ar
rested here for obtaining money from Mrs.
Smith, and it was subsequently ascertained
that while here as an insurance agent lio had
obtained $100 from Breese & Sons, of Balti
more, by pretending that his daughter had died
here, and for this he was tried.
Scott West, assault with intent to kill Hugh
Murphy, plead not guilty.
Charles Williams, a colored boy who pleaded
guilty to larceny last Saturday, was sentenced
to one year in the penitentiary.
Benjamin Jackson, who plead guilty of horse
stealing Saturday last, was sentenced to Albany
for three years.
In the cases of Lawrence Murphy for forgery
and George M. Codera for grand larceny, a
nolle prosse was entered.
Robert Logan, the colored man convicted un
der February 27. on indictment for the murder
of his wife was next called. His counsel. Mr.
M. >L Holland, stated that he had filed a mo
tion for a new trial. Logan was called up and
questioned and said to the court that he did
not desire to be tried again and asked that the
court be lenient. A sentence of five years in
the Albany county penitentiary and a hue of
$100 was imposed.
SECOND-STOKY BURGLARS.
Wayman, Parker, Sewell and Waters In
the Police Court To-day.
EXAMINED AS TO THE BOBBERIES AT THE RESI
DENCES OF SENATOB DAWES, COL. BRITTON,
LIECT. TYLEB AND OTHEUS?TESTIMONY 15
THE CASE.
Lewis Wayman, alias "Pat Randolph," Geo.
Parker, Columbus Sewell and James Waters,
the negroes arrested for alleged complicity in
the burglaries at the residence of Senator
Dawes, Col. Britton, l.ieut. Tyler and others,
were taken to the Police Court to-day. Parker
and Wayman. alias Randolph, were charged
with burglary at the house of CoL Britton.
George Parker was charged with a similar of
fense at the house of Lieut Tyler. Farkcr
and Sewell were charged with robbing Senator
Dawes' house and Waters was charged with re
ceiving some of the stolen property.
The case of Parker, for robbing Lientenant
Tyler's house, was first called. Campbell Car
rington entered for him a plea of "not guilty."
Lieutenant Tyler was the first witness called.
Mr. Carrington asked that before his testi
mony was heard the officers in the case be ex
cluded from the room.
The court granted counsel's request.
Lieut. Tyler testified that the jewelry was
stolen between 7:30 and 7:45 o'clock." The
room had been vacated only a few minutes, and
when some one returned to it the door was
locked and had to be broken open. It was
then discovered that the robbery had been
committed.
mrs. ttler's testimony.
Mrs. Tyler testified that on the evening of
the robbery she went down stairs to dinner
about 7:30 o'clock. About fifteen minutes later
her maid found the door of the room locked.
Her husband and another gentleman broke
open the door, and she then discovered that her
box of jewelry had been stolen. The jewelry
was in several cases and they were in a tin box.
DETECTIVE RAFF TESTIFIED
that when the robbery was reported he went to
the house and found the footprints
under the window. On information re
ceived, witness caused the arrest of
the defendant. In company with other
officers he went to James Waters' room in the
St. Cloud building. After conversing with
Waters they went over beyond Uniontown and
recovered the property. Waters was then
brought face to face with Parker. Waters re
hearsed his statement previously made to the
officers, and Parker said: "I take all the blame
on myself; I did the job."
On cross-examination witness said that Parker
was arrested by the officers of the third pre
cinct. and witness called at the station to inter
view him. During the first interview the de
fendant denied his guilt When witness went
there the second time he took the prison
er's shoes, and they fitted in the
impressions made under Lieut. Tyler's win
dow. Witness said that orders were" left at the
station to let no one see the prisoner, and added:
??But we always let lawyers see prisoners when
they are employed by them."
OBJECTED TO THE CONFESSION AS EVIDENCE.
Mr. Carringtou questioned witness concern
ing the alleged "voluntary" confession, and
thought that under the circumstances the bo
called confession should be stricken out. He
thought the confession was not voluntary.
The court overruled Mr. Carrington's mo
tion.
Witness, continuing, said that while they
(the officers) were hearing Waters' story in the
presence of Parker, the latter was very nerv
ous. When Waters finished nis statement wit
ness turned and asked. "How about it?" It
was then that he assumed this responsibility.
HELD FOR THE ORAND JUST.
The court held the prisoner for the grand
jury and fixed bail at $2,000. Mr. Armes, the
prosecuting attorney, said that he was going to
ask for co.000 bail, as he had two other cases
against him. The court thereupon fixed bail
at $2,000 in each case, making a total of $6,000.
THE OTHER CASES.
In the ease of Waters, charged with receiv
ing stolen property, Mr. W. P. Williamson, his
counsel, said he would waive an examination.
The cases, three in number, were sent to the
grand jury, and bail was fixed at $2,000 in
each, making $6,000 in all.
The case of Defendant Sewell was called, and
Mr. Armes stated that as Senator Dawes was
engaged in the Senate he would ask that the
cabe go over until Tuesday. Bail was fixed at
$1,000. The charges against Wayman were also
continued until Tuesday, and bail was tixed at
$4,000. _

THE HALSTEAD NOMINATION.
It is Finally Rejected by the Senate To
Day.
The Murst Halstead matter monopolized the
attention of the Senators individually and col
lectively to-day.
Within 10 minutes after the Senate wascnlled
to order they went into executive session to
consider this nomination. All of yesterday's
executive session until 10 minutes to 5, when
they adjourned, was taken up in
consideration of this case, and the
bitterness of the opposition was made appar
ent in the debate. Senators Sherman. Black
burn and Spooncr supported the nomination,
and Teller, Evarts and Payne spoke in opposi
tion to it. These speeches took up all the time
and the matter came over until to-day.
EFFORTS IN HIS BEHALF.
The principal work by Mr. Halstead's friends
last night and this morning was with the dem
ocrats, but it is a matter of grave doubt as to
the success of these efforts. Just before
the doors of the Senate were closed for the
executive session it was claimed l>y the opposi
tion that Beck and Blackburn were the only
democrats who would vote for confirmation,
and that the defeat of Mr. Halstead was cer
tain.
THE FIRST SPEECH
at to-day's session was by Mr. Sherman in reply
to the opposition speeches of yesterday.
Both the President and Secretary Blaine have
been working in the interest of Halstead since
last night with much earnestness, and it is
pretty well understood this morning that every
Senator who opposes the continuation will incur
the displeasure of the administration.
All the Senators who called on the President
or the Secretary of State were spoken to on
this subject, and" the gravity of the situation
j was made plain enough, it is thought, to pre
vent those Senators who refrained from voting
yesterday from joining the opposition to-day.
To take the appearance of personal revenge
from the opposition the argument is being pre
sented that a man so indiscreet in speech as to
attack distinguished men in his own party in a
hasty temper, has not sufficient self-control to
be trusted to deal with the American interests
in the court at Berlin at this time.
MR. HAI.STEAD'S POSITION.
The friends of Mr. Halstead are very indig
nant at the character of the opposition. They
will ask no favors of the republicans who are
opposing the confirmation, and the Coiniiercial
Gatelte will, it is declared, keep up a hot war
fare on them, whatever the result of the vote
may be. Mr. Halstead has not sent any dis
patches on the subject to auVSenators of either
party, and no one connected with the Commer
cial-Gazette office here or iu Cincinnati has
taken any steps in the matter whatever.
Mr. Halstead merely insists that the nominal
tion should not be withdrawn.
THE NOMINATION REJECTED.
At 2:30 this afternoon the Senate by a vote of
25 to 19. refused to reconsider the vote by which
the nomination of Mr. Halstead as min
ister to Germany was rejected. This finally
disposes of the matter, rejecting the nomina
tion.
Among the democrats, Blackburn and Call
voted with Mr. Halstead's friends.
DISTRICT iioVEKNMENT.
THE COBBLESTON F.B WILL BE BELAID.
Some days ago Public Printer Benedict, in a
letter to the Commissioners, complained of the
condition of the pavement in alley in rear of
the government printing-office and asked that
it be improved. Capt. Symons. to whom the
matter was referred, made an indorsement on
I the papers to the effect that the cost of an as
I phalt block pavement in the alley would be
$2,692.01 anil for granite block *2,982.33. As
there is no fund out of which the cost of either
could be paid, he recommends the relaying of
the cobblestones at a cost of e300. The Com
missioners have approved his recommendation
and will order the work at an early day.
NO MORE POLES ON WOODLEY-LANE ROAD.
Some days ago Mr. S. M. Bryan, iu a letter
to the Commissioners requested permission to
set a line of poles on Woodley-laue road from
19th street to the Tenleytown pike. Capt.
Symons, to whom the matter was referred,
recommends that in this as well as all other
cases new lines of poles be not permitted, but
that wherever one lino of poles is sufficient
that all companies using the road be required
to consolidate on the one line of poles. He
says that Woodlev-lane road is a very narrow
I road and if it is to be cumbered up with q good
! many lines of poles travel on It will be greatly
incommoded.
ANOTHER SCHOOL SITE AGREED CPON.
Supervising Principal Stuart, of the third
division, and Superintendent Powell called on
the Commissioners this morning relative to the
purchase of a school site in North and East
Washington. It is understood that the site has
been decided upon and will be purchased in a
day or so. It is near the Blair school.

THE PRESIDENT'S BUSY DAY. ?
A Host of fallen at the White House
Many Senator* and Representative*.
To-dsy was one of President Harrison'* busy
days. There have been us of these day* in
every week since March 4, bat this particular
day was perhapt a trifle more thoroughly
choked up with business than anv of its prede
cessors. The ever-hopeful office-seeker and
the office-seeker'* worn-out friends were pres
ent from before 10 u. m. until the door was
e'osed at 1 o'clock. Many of them were
armed with new petitions of an
improved design, and some of
them had their pockets distended with bulky
indorsements from fellow citizens who prefer
rather to dwell in the tent* of private endeavor
than to enjoy the pleasures of office holding
for a season.
First to see the President was the sedate
Senator from Pennsylvania?Matthew Stanley
Quay, bat what transpired at the interview

Neither the President nor the man who man
aged his campaign are in the habit of saying
much.
The Iowa Senators were a good second to I
Mr. Quay, and they went in looking a* though
they meant business; they came out with
smile-bespangled countenance*;ratber an extra
ordinary coudition of affairs, for both are
essentially grave men.
THE KlTtOXU CALA3CITT.
Representative Vaudever had barely con
cluded his remarks when Secretary III aine
hurried in, and his appearance shut the crow d
off for some few minutes. The great naval di" '
aster was talked over by the couple in the library
although neither of them felt assured of the
truthfulness of the reports. Hardly had tin y
separated when Secretary Tracy and his naval
secretary. Lieutenant Mason, came in with
the cablegram fio.u Admiral Kiniberiy
confirming the rumors nnd setting forth the
facts that the navy in the Pacific hud been se
riously crippled and that the lives of
fifty American seamen had gouo up
out of the storm which beat
on Samoa'* rocky shores on the 15th instuut.
The President was very much affeeted and he
repeatedly expressed his sympathy for those
who had been bereaved by the calamity?a
national calamity, he termed it.
4'OHIO WILL KOT BE NEGLECTED."
Representatives McKinley and E. B. Taylor,
of Ohio, talked for some time of what wa? ;
really needed in the "buckeye" state, but they
had to leave without securing any positive as
surances. "Ohio will not be be neglected,'"
the President is reported to have said.
Senator Paddock then called around to see if
there was anything in the way of an office
lying loose which Nebraska could pick np. He
gave place to a New England crowd, composed
of .Senators Hoar and l'iatt and Representative

Death Sentence.
In the Criminal Court thi* afternoon the mo
tion for a new trial in the case of Albert
Green, convicted November 11 last of the
murder of Jame* Lucas September 12,
1887, was called Mr. R. B. Lewis, the prison
er's counsel, said that he was still in a peculiar
position, and in the absence of the prisoner he
would not like to withdraw his motion, or in
fact take any action.
The court sent for the prisoner, and he wa*
brought into court about 2.-a0 o'clock. He
seemed to be in a cheerful mood, and at once
| entered into conversation with Mr. Lewi*. The
latter in a few moment* said to the court:
; ''Green savs that he accepts the commutation.
1 aud therefore there need be no further action."
i The court said to the prisoner, "You under
stand that the President has commuted the
sentence passed upon you a few weeks emeu to
be hanged by the neck. There was in
your case a motion for a new trial
and appeal, and there has been some uncer
