gORNE TO THE TOMB
Obsequies oi tlie Late Emperor Will­
iam at Berlin —Tlie Funeral Pageant
on the Streets—Koyal Mourners— Scenes
In the Cathedral and at the Tomb.
BERLIN, March 17.—The funeral of *}«I.
peror William took place yesterday. The
weather was again extremely cold and the
troops, who ranged four deep along the
route taken by the funeral' oortege, wore
heavy cloaka The low temperature had no
apparent effect upon the people, and hun­
dreds of thousands of spectators occupied
the space behind the soldiers, while every
window along Unter den Linden was
crowded. All the houses on the thorough­
fare were covered with mourning and ex­
hibited flags with black drapery. At the
street crossings massive pillars draped with
black and surmounted by Prussian eagles
had been erected. The lamp.poBts were
covered with orape, and at every fifty
paoeB there were large candelabra bear­
ing flaming
oreBBets.
The route of the
funeral procession presented a most impos­
ing aspect, entirely in keeping with the
deep sorrow and reverence of the people.
The center of the road was strewn with
gravel and fir branches In the Pariser
Platz large crape festoons, entwined with
lanrel, were hung. The Brandenburg gate
was draped and there was a large arch in
front of it upon which were the words
God Bless You."
The funeral service took place in the
cathedral in accordance with the pro
gramma Emperor Frederick was not pres­
ent, the weather being too severe to per­
mit of his exposing himself. The service
began with a soft prelude on the
organ, during which the mourners began to
assemble. Dr. Koegel, the court chaplain,
read passages from the 90th Psalm and
verses 25 and 26 of the 11th chapter of
John. The choir sang "I Know That My
Redeemer Liveth." Passages were then
read from Psalm 91 and from Timothy iv.,
7 and 8. The chaplain con­
cluded with the words, "Blessed
are they who die in the Lord, now and
evermore." The choir responded with the
words: "Yea, the spirit saith they shall
rest from their labors their work shall
live after them The prayer was then in­
toned: What God doeth is well done."
Dr Koegel delivered the sermon standing
beside the coffin. His text was: "Lord,
now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in
peace according to Thy worjl, for mine
eyes have seen Thy salvation."
At 12:45 Dr. Koegel pronounced the ben­
ediction, while at the same time volleys
were tired by infantry on th& outside. T,he
cathedral ceremony closed with the singing
of Holy, Holy Is the Lord."
The procession to escort the Kaiser's re­
mains to the mausoleum then b.jgan to
form. Prince Bismarck and General von
Moltke were not present at the service in
the cathedral, nor did they take part in the
procession to the mausoleum.
While the organ still played the royalties
entered. Prince William arriving at noon.
At a signal from tho chief master
of
cere­
monies the organ broke into swelling tones
and the final chorus was begun. Prince
William stood in the middle of the nave
behind the imperial standard. Beside
him were the King of Saxony, the
King of Belgium and the King
of
Ron-
mania. Close by stood the Grand Duke oi
Baden, Princes Albrecht and Henry and the
other Princes of the royal house of Prussia
The Prince Imperial of Austria, the Czare­
vitch and Grand Dukes Michael and Nich­
olas, of Russia, the Prince of Wales,
the Ciown Prince of Italy, the Grown
Prince of Denmark and the Crown Prince
of Greece* all in the uniform of their re­
spective countries, were in prominent
piacea The Prince of Bavaria, the Grand
Duke of Hessa and other notables ahd for­
eign representatives, including General
Billot, of France, and his suite, formed the
next row in the nava The diplomatic pew
was crowded.
As the coffin reached the door the drum­
mers of the military bands outside beat a
deafening tattoa This was the signal for
the troops to prepare to march. While the
procession was forming the bands played
Chopin's Marche Funebre," the sfpinds of
the tolling of the church bells mingling
with the strains. The procession was in
every way worthy of the occasion. The
military display was magnificent, though
somber.
Wending its way over the castle bridge
and through Unter den Linden the cortege
reached the Brandenburg gate a few min­
utes after 2 o'clock. The demeanor of the
countless spectators was excellent The
silence was unbroken. Every one remained
uncovered until the coffin had passed.
In the Sieges Allee, as had been arranged,
the procession halted. Crown Prince Will­
iam, who had thus far walked immediately
behind the funeral car, now entered a car­
riage, accompanied by the Kings of Saxony,
Belgium and Roumania The other royal­
ties at the same me took seats in carriages
following that of the Crown Prince. The
cortege then moved onward until it reached
Charlottenburg. At 3:15 o'clock the re­
mains were received at the mausoleum by
the pastor of Charlottenburg.
Chaplain Koegel read the prayer Blessed
is the Man Who Resisteth Temptation and
the Lord's Prayer. The chaplain then
closed the solemn service with the bene­
diction. Members of the imperial family
and the other mourners withdrew, the
Generals 'taking farewell of their dead
master by plac ng their hands as if in salute
upon his coffin. A salvo of artillery an­
nounced that the ceremony was over.
The Emperor was greatly grieved because
he was not allowed to attend the funeral.
As the coffin passed the window he covered
his eyes with his hands and burst into tears.
Empress Yictoria and the Princess attended
the service at the mausoleum.

GRESHAM'S DEG/SION.
Be Refuses to Grant the Petition of the
Burlington Road In Its Suit Against th«
Wabash—HI* Reasons The Belt Line
Sued to Compel It to Hnndle Freight of
the Q» tine.
CHICAGO, March 15. —Judge Gresham yes­
terday rendered his decision on the points
raised by the Burlington road against the
Brol her hood in its petition asking that the
Wabash road be compelled to receive and
handle it* freight
Judge Greshant rehearsed the main points
from the petition and the answer from the
receiver, which were published in full some
days ago. After summing up the situation
the court said:
"Although the property of the Wabash road 1B
In the hands of the oourt it is operated by tbc re­
ceiver, and he is bound to put forth every effort
to transact its business in the most profitable
way. He is bound to receive all trafflo tendered
bltn and he can not discriminate in favor or
against any railroad oompany. More need not
be said on this question, as the receiver has
wisely rescinded his former order, which does
not appear to have been considered at any time
as his permanent policy.
"Although the petitioner has accomplished
Its chief purposes in invoking the aid of the
courts, it is urged by its counsel that persons
belonging to the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, and especially P. M. Arthur, who
is the chief officer of that organization, has
Interfered with the receiver and his sub­
ordinates in the man cement of the Wabash
property, and that they shquld be punished for
their illegal and contumacious conduct. The
receiver and his counsel make no such com­
plaint. On the contrary, the receiver declares
that there has been no suoa interference with
him.
"While the affidavits submitted In support
of the petition show that Mr. Arthur sent a tel­
egraph message to the engineers of the Union
Pacific Railroad Company at Omaha, direct­
ing them to haul no cars of the petitioners.* it
does not fairly appear from the evidence that
the engineers in the service of the receiver re­
ceived such orders, by telegraph or otherwise.
For the present it is sufficient to say that
the court will protect the property of the
Wabash Company in its custody. The em­
ployes of the receiver can not be obliged
to remain in his service against their
will. Neither they nor others will
be permitted to Interfere with or
disturb the receiver or his subordinates in.
the possession and operation of the property in
his custody. Lawless Interference with the re­
ceiver and his employes in the discharge of
their duty will not be tolerated. It Is proper
to state, however, in justice to ttie Wabash
eng neers, that they do not desire to
maintain an attitude of defiance to the law,
and that they are now willing to aid the re­
ceiver in the lawful and successful administra­
tion of his trust. Tho receiver's answer
renders it unnecessary for the court to do
more than direct that the petition remain on
file for future action should there be occasion
for it."
This decision appeared to give satisfac­
tion all around. The Burlington offioiala
were jubilant and declared that they
couldn't have done better if they had writ­
ten the decision themselves. It forced
the Brotherhood to recognize the existence
of law, which was what the Buriington
was after. The company also claimed that
this was a test case and would have a
wholesome effect in deterring any other
road from handling its freight, At the
strikers' headquarters the decision was re­
ceived with unconcern. Those of the
Brotherhood who were willing to speak of
the matter at all claimed that it simply
placed the engineers in the same position as
before the potitiou was filed.
The through-freight blockade has now
been practically raised, all the important
roads handling Burlington freight as
usual, except the Rock Island, the
St Paul and the Belt Line. The
last named, which is apart of the Western
Indiana system, is giving the Burlington
more trouble than any other at present
The Belt line is needed for expeditious busi­
ness, and yesterday the Burlington decided
to try the courts again to compel the open­
ing of traffic.
Late in the afternoon Wirt Dexter filed a
bill in the Federal Court praying an injunc­
tion restraining the officials of the
Belt Line from refusing to handle
Burlington freight, and also that the
Belt's employes may be restrained from
declining to draw Chicago, Buriington &
Quincy freight and cars. This petition will
be called up before Judge Gresham at 2
o'clock this afternoon, when it is more than
likely that the Belt Line will secure a con
tinuance, as was in the Wabash case.
The bill charges the Belt Line with crip­
pling the Q" road because much of the
delayed freight is perishable. The engi­
neers are charged with having usurped the
practical management of the Belt Line and
the officials of the latter continue to em­
ploy them The persons responsible for
the delay are charged with a criminal
offense. The bill also says that it is
filed under the Inter-State Commerce law
and to prevent a multiplicity of suits by
consignees and consignors of freight for its
non-delivery by the BeltLine. S. T. Pope,
train-master of the Burlington, made
affidavit that there were 336 loaded freight
cars in the Burlington yard waiting to be
transferred to the Belt Line and 200 in
possession of the Belt Line awaiting trans­
fer to the Burlington.
The grievance committees of all the
roads got together yesterday. After long
sessions by themselves a joint meeting was
held, lasting nearly the whole of yesterday,
at which about one hundred delegates
were present, representing every road cen­
tering in Chicago. The result of these
deliberations is variously construed. At
the strikers' headquarters the usual dense
Ignorance prevailed or was professed as to
the action of the meeting.

number of Chicago, Burlington & Quinoy
loaded freight-cars made up in regular
trains and consigned to the Union Paoifio
for transportation over that line. This is,
of course, the real cause of the difficulty,
although the retiring engineers will not
commit themselves by making a statement
to that effeot.

Prince Oscar, of Sweden, Sacrifices Titles

LONDON, Maroh 10.—The. marriage of
Prince Oscar, second son of King Charles, of
Sweden, and Miss Ebba Munok was sol­
emnized at Bourne­
mouth yesterday. In
consequence of the
death of the Emperor
of Germany the af­
fair was conducted
on a much less elab­
orate scale than had
at first been contem­
plated. Most of the

I royal families of Eu
rope were .repre­
sented. The presents
were numerous, and,
in the aggregate, of
in a
value. Of all the ro­
mantic marriages that have oocurred in
royal circles throughout Europe for the last
half a century, none have excited as muoh
interest as this. Miss Munck was of
noble birth, but poor and an orphan,
and noted for her beauty, grace and charm­
ing manner. She was the ivorite among
the maids of honor of the Crown Princess
of Sweden. Saveral years ago Prince Os­
car, who had jmt returned from a two
years' trip around tha world, met and
loved Miss Munck. His affection was re­
turned by tho lady, but the brave girl re­
fused to marry him, and it was not until
the Prince was in the position to tell her
that the Queen had been moved to give her
consent that she finally yielded. Still the
King's santion had to be obtained before
them rriage mid be solemnized, and the
will of the King was not so easily moved as
that of the Queen.
Long and va'nly did Prince Oscar urge
that as his rother, the Crown Prince, al­
ready had two sons his own chanoss of

and become a pnv.ite citizen. It was not
until the Queen and her court influence had
been brought into family circles that his
M.-jesty gave his consent and yielded to the
mesalliance.
The betrothal took place in the royal pal­

STRIKE ON THt SANTA FE.
The Engineers and Firemen Suddenly
Grow Tired—The Entire System West
and South of Kansas City Tied-Up—The
Belt Line at Chicago Weakens.
KANSAS CITI, MO., March 16. The engi*
noers and firemen on the vast system of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad
went oat on a strike at 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
Although the men are reticent it is be­
lieved that the order to strike came
from the headquarters of the Broth­
erhood of Locomotive Engineers. It
is said that notices were sent out order­
ing strikes on the Santa Fe, the Fort
Scott and the Missouri Pacific. The strike
on the Fort S.-oit, it is said, will take place
at 10 o'clock this morning, and that on the
Missouri Pacific at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
The cause of the strike is generally thought
to be the action of the Santa Fe in hand­
ling Burlinglon freight. March 9 the engi­
neers and fire men had a conference with
the officials of the road on the subject.
This resulted in the serving of a
notice by the representatives of the
Brotherhood upon the company that after
Sunday, March 11, the engineers and fire­
men would refuse to haul Chicago, Burling­
ton & Quincy cara There was no notice of
a strike or suspension of work, and no no­
tice of .any grievance.
CHICAGO, March 16. —The court proceed­
ings against the Belt Line Company de­
veloped yesterday into love feast
When the case was called in Judge
Gresbam's court at 2 o'clock Wirt.
Dexter, in behalf of the Burlington
Company, said that, as the Belt Line
had raised its blockade and was now han­
dling Burlington freight, he would not
press the motion. Mr. Osborne, for the
Western Indiana owners of the Be.t
L.ne, remarked that they had commenaed
to handle Burlington freight of their
own accord before the petition was filed in
court Ev.:ry thing was satisfactory and
Judge Gresham had only to acquiesce in
the agreement of counsel. The motion was
postponed indefinitely without being dis
mssed.
The Belt line weakened at the prospeot of
the suit at law, doming the better part of
valor to be discretion. Yesterday Train­
master Pope, of the "Q," received a note
from the agent of the Belt line informing
him that his road would at once resume
relations with the Burlington.
Milwaukee's Recent Fire.
MILWAUKEE, Wis., March 16.—The fire

side wall fell, burying a dozen firemen in
the debria Herman Lecher and Richard
Langton were killed and three others

Nasal Voices, Catarrh and False
Teeth."
A prominent English woman says the
American women all have high, shrill, nasal
voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant twit­
ting they get about this nasal twang, and
yet it is a fact caused by our dry stimulat­
ing atmosphere, and the universal presence
of catarrhal difficulties.
But why should so many of our women
have false teeth?
That is more of a poser to the English. It
Is quite impossible to account for it except
on the theory of deranged stomach action
caused by imprudence in eating and by
want of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail
and end in cough and consumption, which
are promoted by mal-nutrition induced by
deranged stomach action. The condition is
a modern one, one unknown to our ancestors
who prevented the catarrh, cold, cough and
consumption by abundant and regular use
of what is now known as Warner's Log
.Cabin Cough and Consumption Remedy and
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, two old fashioned
Btandard remedies handed down from our
ancestors, and now exclusively put forth
under the strongest guarantees of purity
and efficacy by the world-famed makers of
Warner's safe cure. These two remedies
plentifully used as the spring and summer
seasons advance give a positive assurance
of freedom, both from catarrh and those
dreadful and, if neglected, inevitable conse­
quences, pneumonia, lung troubles and con­
sumption, which so generally and fatally
prevail among our people.
Comrade Eii Fisher, of Salem, Henry Co.,
Iowa, served four years in the late war and
contracted a disease called consumption by
the doctors. He had frequent hemorrhages.
After using Warner's Log Cabin Cough and
Consumption remedy, he says, under date
of Jan. 19th, 1888: "I do not bleed at the
lungs any more, my cough does not bother
me, and 1 do not have any more smothering
spells." Warner's Log Cabin Exse Cream
cured his wife of catarrh and she is sound
and welL"
Of course we do not like to have our
women called nose talkers and false teeth
owners, but these conditions can be readily
overcome in the manner indicated.
In the majority of mur.Ier cases it is the
jury and not the criminals that gets hung.
