Friends Take a Last Look Upon the Face of the Dead. The Funeral, Today, Though Private, Will Have National Characteristics. A Distinguished List of Fall-Bearers. By the Associated rrcss. Washington, Jan. 29.—The body of the late ex-Secretary Blame was re moved this evening to the parlor on the north aide of the second floor of the residence. During the afternoon and evening a number of friends called and took a last look upon the face of the de parted statesman. The expression of the face is peacefu' and the lineaments of the well-known countenance showed few traceß of the ravages of the disease that carried him off. The casket is almost buried under a mass of floral tributes, many of them received from a distance. It lies in the room where the first prayers of the funeral services will be said by Rev. Dr. Hamlin of the church of the Covenant at 11 o'clock to morrow. Notwithstanding the fact that the funeral will be private, in one respect the services will be as truly national in their representative character as if a president was being buried. The state of Maine will send a delegation of 14, headed by General Cleeves; Massa chusetts will have a delegation of five members; the Union League club of New York will send 25 members to rep resent that, organization, and the Union League club of Philadelphia, 20. From various other pointy of Pennsylvania will come several delegations. Alto gether 100 or more of these representa tives will he present. Personal friends to the number of 05 have notified the family of their intention to be present from various parts of the country. The services at the church, as well aB at the house, will be Btrictly privivt" and no one will be admitted who has not received an invitation. The family regret this, but thu limited houUmk ca pacity of the church and the large num. ber of delegations and officials to be pro vided for. leaves no room.

New York, Jan. 29.—At Calvary Bap tist church this evening Rev. Dr. Mo- Arthur, in the course of an address on Blame, referred to the Burchard Rum, Romanism and Rebellion incident, Bay ing many thought Burchard deliberate ly uttered the words with the intent to ir.jure Mr. Blame's cause. McArthur said nothing was farther from the truth. Burchard did not know, up to five min utes before, that he was to speak. It had been arranged that Dr. Armitage shonld speak, but at the last minute the committee waß notified he had been detained in Philadelphia, and Burchard was called upon. "As the ill-chosen wordß fell trem blingly from his lips," said McArthur, "I watched Mr. Blame, but be seemed absorbed in deep thought and not to notice them, though he must have been the iiret to appreciate their importance." A BLAINE MONUMENT. Tho Chicago Blame Club Takee the In itiative In the Matter, Chicago, Jan. 29 —At a meeting of the Chicago Blame club, last night, ap propriate resolutions with reference to Mr. Blame were adopted, and a commit tee appointed to co-operate with the committees of various political and so cial duos of the city in calling a memo rial meeting. It was also decided to take s'eps toward the collection of fund-i for Bite erection of a Blame monument in Chicago. During the meeting one of the members who was intimately at; quain*ed with the dead statesman read au interesting letter received from him several weeks before the last election.

Nhw York, Jan. 29.—The following was given out tonight by J. O. Green hut, president of the Distillers and Cat-' tie Feeding company: To stockholders of the Distilling and Cattle Feeding company and holders of its rebate vouchers: As minora pub lished in the morning papers might have a tendency to cause you to doubt the ability of this company to pay its rebate vouchers, the directors take this occasion to say rebates will ba paid as promptly in the future as they have been in the past, and the company holds in cash assets an amount far in excess of what is necessary to pay every obligation. So far as the present ques tion of dividends is concerned, the di rectors would say it was notdiscussed at the meeting Saturday, and would add there is no reason to doubt that the business of the company will be con ducted as satisfactorily in the future as in the past.

Carlisle and Lamont Are the Only Fixed Members—Bayard Has Not Accepted—Grover Seeks Retirement, Lakkwood, N. J., Jan. 29.—1t was learned today that Cleveland has filled only two positions of his cabinet with certainty, Carlisle for the treasury and Lamont for the navy. It was under stood here last week that Bayard had accepted the state portfolio, but it now seems that the report was premature. From oue in close tonch with Cleve land, it ww) learned •.»»•. the president elect would probably select his former partner, Wilson S. Bissel of Buf falo, for the attorney generalship. Among others who it is said are being considered for cabinet positions by Mr. Cleveland are Governor Gray of Indiana, Senator Morgan of Alabama, (rovernor Russell of Massachusetts, Hoke Smith of Georgia, Patrick Collins of Massachusetts and Don M.Dickinson. In an interview today Cleveland, paid: "The date is now at hand when I must have more time to myself. Since the election most of my time has been devoted to interwiews, which is not un pleasant and not unprofitable, but other things are now pending which require my uninterrupted considera tion. Say for me through the press: I shall be at mv office in New York every day, with perhapß oneexcupion, during the week commencing January SO, and alter February 1 I shall remain at Lake wood, where I hope to be undisturbed iv work which will imperatively de mand my attention. I also especially desire that from now until the 4th of Vlarch letters be addressed me at the Mills building, New York." FIFTY-SECOND CUNOHK99, The Senate About to Dispose of the Anil-ttjjtt- n BUI. Washington, Jan. 2!).—The most nota ble event of the week in congress will probably be the disposition of the anti option bill in the senate. By agreement the dual vote upon the bill will be taken at 2 o'clock Tuesday. It will then in all probability be sent back to the house with its many amendments. The first two regular appropiiation bills are now on the calendar of the senate, and it is the expectation of the managers also to call up the Cullom bill making amend mentH to the interstate commerce law. The house leaders intend to keep at work on appropriation bills, to the ex clusion of all other business. Practically the whole of Saturday's session of the senate waß spent behind closed doors in executive session, laßting from 12:40 to 4:1)0, when the senate adjourned until 2 o'clock Monday, the chauge of hour be ing to allow the senators an ooportunity to attend Blame's funeral. In the morning the army appropriation bill was reported from the committee on ap prooriations and placed on the calen dar. This is the fitßt general appropri ation bill reported to the senate this session. Proctor introduced a bill to incorpor ate the Americau university in the Dis trict of Columbia. Senator Carey save notice of two amendments which he intended to offer to the house bill .providing for the ad mission of New Mexico into the union. Carey's first amendment strikes out all after the enactment clause of the New Mexico bill and substitutes an omnibus bill admitting the territories of New Mexico, Utah, Ar zona and Oklahoma The state of Oklahoma is made identical with Indian territory, but it is provided that nothing in the act shall be construed to impair the rights of per sons and property now pertaining to the Indians of the territory, so long as sucti remain unextinguished by an agreement between the Indians and the United States. Carey's second amendment is identical with the first, save it oinit ibe territory of Arizona and is in line with the action of the recent Republican caucus. Lost.

The Iron Baron Proceeds to Explain Things. He Is Not Responsible for the Homestead Affair. The Management of His Properties la Out of His Hands. Manager Frlctr* Highly Complimented, Militia Called Oat to Subdue Strik ing; Boiler-Makers at Dunkirk, N. Y. By the Associated Press. Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 29.—For the first time since his return from Europe An drew Carnegie consented to talk in re gard to the Homestead affair and spoke freely this afternoon to an Associated Preßß correspondent. He said he de sired to make one point clear at the be ginning. Four years ago he retired from active business and no considera tion in the world would induce him to return to it. A great error of Americans is that they endure the harassing cares incident to business until they break down when they should be in their prime. He believed in retiring and giv ing younger men a chance. He had sold portions of his interests and was gradually Belling more to Buch young men in their service as his part ners find possessed of ability. He was not an officer in the company, but only a shareholder, and to the numerous ap peals he received urging him to give instructions in regard to the recent trouble, he says he tad no power to in struct anybody connected with the com pany. Tho officers were elected for a year, and no one could interfere with them. Even at the next election, if he desired to make a change, he would be powerless to do bo, as he is sure he could not find one shareholder that would not vote and stand by the present officials. "I elect to retain my capital in the manufacturing business I have helped to build up," said Mr. Carnegie, "be cause I have great pride in it.and for the further reason that my capital is thus made a direct employer of labor; it fur nishes" many men with steady work at good wagw. I do-not know an,y , f Rr,' n philanthropy bo berieftc.Ht m -3. I have not taken money out of the busi ness for investment in outside things; I never inteDd to do so, and since I re tired four years ago, when money has come to me beyond that required for living expenses it has been devoted to public uses. I have hoarded none and never shall. Much has been said about my fortune; I have plenty only if the works in Pittsburg are prosperous. Un less they are, I have nothing, and that in how I elect to stand. I take chancss with my partners and have the satisfaction of knowing that the firßt charge upon every dollar of my capital is Btil! the paymenf of the highest earnings paid to labor in any part of the world for simi lar service." Mr. Carnegie eulogized Mr. Frick in the highest manner, saying his four years' management stamps him as one of the foremost managers in the wor d, and he (Carnegie) would not exchange him for any other manager he knows. A good workman or an able man, said he, who wished to do what is fair and right will learn to appreciate Mr. Frick. In efficient officials or bad, unreasonable, violent workmen, be does not like, and these will not thrive with bim. SERIOUS STRIKE. Militia Ordered Out tv Aid the EherlO at Dunkirk, N. Y. Dunkirk, N V., Jan. 20 —At 1 o'clock this morning Sheriff Jenner of Chautau qua county came to the conclusion that the strike at the Brooks locomotive works was so serious as to warrant call ing for trocps. The Thirteenth separate company of Jamestown proceeded to Dunkirk this morning. There is intense excitement here tonight and trouble of a serious character is anticipated. The Brooks people evidently intend to bring in a force of men sufficient to run the work 9» Dunkirk, N. V., Jan. 29.—The strike which began a month ago waß caused by the riveters in the boiler department refusing to work under certain contract ors, alleging inhuman treatment. The lack of riveters made it necessary to lay off men in the other departments and now about 600 men are out of employ ment. The Brooks people engaged Philadelphia men to take the strikers' places and brought them her» yesterday by special train. Yesterday President I Unman received information that threats had been made againet the works and new employes and the pro tection of Sheriff Jenner was asked. That official at once appealed to General Doyle and troops are being held ready as a precautionary measure. At 1 o'clock this (Monday) morning the Bheriff stated he could now get along without troops, the strikers hav ing waited on him and assured him nothing waß farther from their thought s than violence. Buffalo, N. V., Jan. 29—Colonel Fox is holding the Seventy-fourth regi ment for orders to proceed to the scene of the strike at Dunkirk.. Major Stewart, who went to Dunkirk this evening, returned at midnight and reported the strikers quiet and no indi cation of violence. Alton Disaster Victims.

Chicago, Jan. 29.—-There were lively times at the opening of the board of trade Saturday. Wheat broke 2 cents, attributed to a queer cause. John Cudahy contracted a severe cold, which he feared would develop into pneu monia, so he decided to protect hiß interest in wheat by buying puts against it to the amount of several million bushels. This was done on the cnrb yesterday afternoon, and caused a break at the opening today. This morning Cudahy was reported much better, and was a buyer of wheat. The day closed yesterday at 78%0, opened at 77% c, declined to 78%0 under, general and panicky selling, but the santiment then changed, and the price rallied to 77% c. Thereafter the market ruled irregular and easier, closing weak and l%c lower than yeßterday. KANSAS SENATORSIIIP. The Republicans Now Claim That Ady Is Elected. Tor-EKA, Kan., Jan. 29.—The Republi cans have just learned that they elected a United Stateß senator in joint session of the two houses last Wednesday. They claim that none ot the members of the Populist house were legally sworn in and consequently had no right to vote ior Benator; that the state Benators, in cluding the Populist members of that body, together with the members of the Republican house, constituted a quorum, or the majority of a quorum, and that, Ady is therefore elected senator. Ady will be furnished with credentials signed by Speaker Douglass of the Republican house and by each of the Republican Benators. NOT IN A HURRY TO ACT. PANAMA CANAL CONCESSION HELD IN Alt E VANCE. The Colombian Government Will Not Extend the Time or the French Syndicate 7111 America Is Heard From. Nhw York, Jan, 29.—The Herald's Panama correspondent Bays; "An emi nent Colombian assures me that no ac tion will he takeu on the application for a new concession by the Panama Canal company until United States Minister Abbott reaches Bogota. Ia its decision Colombia will be largely influenced by fotanHlv cnnnßsl nf the United Wt.otes ' "ioriWsfTon lapses next month it is probable the government of Colombia will take imme diate possession of the canal and the visible assets of the company. If this is done, the Colombian government expecte the aid of the United Stateß if necessary. This expectation is based on its treaty with the United States by which that government is bound to protect the interests of Colombia. A new concession may be granted to an American and British syndicate if anxious to secure it. ,If not, the Colombian government may un dertake to complete the work as a national enterprise. In that case they would let the contract for its com uletion to the lowest responsible bidder. If the government should undertake the work, payment will be arranged by is suing special canal bonds. Should the United States deßire special privileges on the isthmus, not already assured by the treaty of 18-lli, that government might secure them by joining Colombia and guaranteeing the interest on the bonds. Sold its Rolling stock. Panama, Jan J9.—There are official proofs in existence which show that the Panama Canal company has sold its rolling ptock to the Panama Railway company. The Colombian government has resolved not to enter into negotia tions with representatives of the Panama Canal company to prolong its concession until the company resumes possession of its property which it transferred to the railway company in violation of its con tract, or in default of the deposits in a responsible bank of the sum received from the sale.

I Opinions Freely Expressed on the Subject I Annexation Sentiment Is Bampant at Washington. San Francisco Merchants Heartily Ist Favor of It—John Ball Objects* American Ships Dispatched to Honolulu, By the Associa ted Press. Washington, Jan. 29.—The Hawaiian revolution has been the absorbing topic of discussion all day. In the face of the general protest stated to have been Bent by the deposed Queen declaring aha yielded only to the superior force of the United States and appealing to the United States to reverse its decision an-' reinstate her in authority, it woa ex pected that the specially chartered steamer which brought the news of the revolution would also bring a dispatch from Minister Stevens or Consul-Gen eral Severance. It was also expected that the commander of the Boston would transmit to the navy department some detailed report of his vigorous action, but nothing has been received. The inference is that detailed reports from these officers are on the way by mail. sentiments freely expbksskd. In the meantime some of'the mem bers of the committee on foreign rela tions, before whom the matter will eventually come, are expressing their sentiments with remarkable freedom. Senator Morgan makes no secret of his desire to acquiesce in the request of the committee and annex the islands. More significant, even, than this, however, is the statement that Senator Sherman, chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations, in the course of the executive session yesterday, spoke to the same purport. Senator Butler of South Carolina, who is also a member of the same committee, said to a reporter: "Of course there can be no question of the great desira; bility of the jslands as ft naval Btation. n r - .y.'V**..-J i,B . y w.*» . .Tjtefia and Louisiana, it,*Wiil be necea , sary for congress to pass a regular act of annexation as was the case with the re public of Texas. Hawaii would then be made a territory, but not, I imagine, with a regular territorial government." JUDGE CHU'MAN'S REMARKS. Judge Chipman of Michigan, a prom inent member of the house committee on foreign affairs, openly favors annexa tion. "I favored it in the Fifty-first congressi" he said, "in a report and speech .upon the Hawaiian table. I ccrußijef it not only poesible, but highly desirable. The Sandwich islands are exti'ejtnelr fertile. The intelligent i among its people earnestly favor union, with the United States. As a naval station and in point of commercial ad vantages in the Pacific, they are vital to us. We would need them in war and we need them in peace. Their posses sion would go far toward enabling us to control the sugar situation. Of course a contest with Eugland could not be avoided, but that should not effect the matter one way or the other. This country will never amount to any thing more than a eecond-class power so long as it whisks around the corner when it sees a foeman approaching. England takes whatever she wants, whatever it may be. Ido not believe in a bullying policy, but America must known its rights and maintain them at all hazards. I hope to see the limits of this country extend northward to the Arctic, regions. I hope to see it with a Btrong defensive and offensive Btation in the West Indies, be it Cuba or another of those islands, and one of similar strength and usefulness in the Pacific. The time has come when the government of the United States must aßsert itself.,, DIPLOMATS AFRAID TO TALK. The po6Bible seriousness of the mat ter, as involving relations with England, made the subject one upon which no member of the diplomatic corps in this city felt at liberty to speak today. BLAINE FAVORED ANNEXATION. An interesting incident as possibly showing Blame's attitude toward the subject of annexation of the Hawaiian islands is recalled at this time. When the Pan-American congress met in Oc tober, 1889, or about that time, Blame discovered that Hawaii had not been in cluded in the countries invited to par ticipate, and he spoke to the executive officer of the congress about the omis sion. "But Hawaii is not an American republic," he w» r (old. He replioujir —" "But it will be before long.'' By his re quest, therefots, a resolution vras intro duced in congress by Representative Hitt and passed, authorizing the president to B-n l an invitation to Hawaii. The in vitation was accepted by the Hawaiian government and Minister Carter waft designated to act as \elegate, which he) did tluoughout the meeting of the con gress. When the bureau of American repub lics was established as the result of the deliberations of the congress, Blame instructed that Hawaii should be in cluded and treated as one of the several American republics and its statistics in cluded in the hand-books published by the bureau. FEELING IN SAN FRANCISCO.
