Two communications from Andrew Carnegie, which officially made public tell of the steel king's retirement from active business life and of his donation of $5,000,000 for the endowment of a fund for superanuated and disabled employes of the Carnegie company. This benefaction is by far the largest of the many created by Mr. Carnegie, and is probably without a counterpart anywhere in the world. This fund will in no wise interfere with the continu ance of the savings fund established by the company 16 years ago for the bene fit of its employes. In this latter fund nearly $2,00,0000 of the employes' sav ings are on deposit, upon which the company by contract pays 6 per cent and loans money to the workmen to build their own homes.

I The Russians at Tientsin took pos seagion of the railway siding and armed sentries are now guarding It. a General Barrow (second in command of the British forces) hesitates to act, apparently, in the absence of General Gaselee, feeling sure that bloodshed would ensue. Andrew Carnegie, who, since retir ing as an active figure in the steel world, has beea able to devote his time exclusively to his other pas sion—the founding of libraries—has made his departure for Europe this spring memorable by the largest offer of that kind ever advanced.

Three lives sacrificed, nearly a dozen men more or less Injured and many thousands of dollars of damage were the results of a fierce fire in the Daily Advertiser and Record seven story front building in Newspaper Row, Boston, recently.

The health of Li Hung Chang is again a matter of grave considéra tion to the ministers of the powers. Mr. Rockhlll, the American special representative, says he is a physical wreck and apparently in a state of ut ter collapse, although mentally bright as ever. Mr. Rockhill would not be surprised to hear of his death any moment. The removal of Li Hung Chang by death or any other cause at the present moment would be very unfortunate.

Casket Covered With American Finn — Abondance of Flowers—I,ny in Stnte Nine Hours nt Indianapolis— Procession a Long; One. Indianapolis, March 17.— Beneath a canopy of black placed under the rotunda of the capitol building, in a casket covered with the silken folds of the Stars and Stripes, surrounded by thousands of blossoms, while over all swung the great battle flag that Hew from the warship Indiana during the naval battle of Santi ago, the body of ex-President Harrison lay in state for nine hours Saturday. During that time fully 50,000 persons passed by tile cottin to take a last look at the dis tinguished dead, and when at 10 o'clock to night the capitol doors were finally closed and the people told that no more could enter, there were several thousands moie waiting patiently in line. The body lay in state from 1 ; 10 o'clock in the afternoon until 10 o'clock at night, und not ouce during the hours was there a bleak or halt in the lines which passed rapidly by on Die right and left of the casket, it was Indiana's day with iier dead, and most touchingly w as the esteem and honor in which General Harrison w as held by bis fellow citizens revealed. In front of the Harrison home, along the streets through which the remains were carried on their way to and from the state house, in the lines that stretched at times a half mile from the doors of the capitol, men, women and children stood for hours waiting their opportunity to pay tribute of respeet to the dead. It was an immense throng, but one more easily handled, or rather one that required less handling, never gathered anywhere. There was no jostling, no disturbance of any kind. Tlie Procession. General Carnahan, the marshal, and his staff, mounted and attired in citizens' clothing of plain black, directed the move ments of the various organizations as they took positions to await the approach of the other division which was on its Way from the capitol. The boys' brigade, soldiers of the future, erect, with even step, were first past the staff. The Seventh regiment, General Harri son's old command, soldiers whose fighting days have gone, came next and waited for the movement when they should have the place of honor behind the funeral car. George H. Thomas post, G. A. R., many members of which had fought with Gen eral Harrison during the war, waited in its turn. The Columbia and Marion clubs led the clubs as they passed General Carnahan and staff. Iu the House. Inside the house the magnificent casket, draped with the 'banner of the Loyal Le gion, had been closed for the time being and was ready for the journey to the cap itol. On the casket was a large wreath of Scotch heather and orchids, the tribute of General Harrison's daughter, Mary Harri son McKee. The drawing room to the left of the reception hall, in which the casket was placed, was a mass of flowers. Presi dent McKinley sent a magnificent design of golden gate roses and lilies of the valley from the White House conservatory. A great star, filling one corner of the room, was from the servants of the household. A Masonic lodge of Indianapolis, composed of Chinamen, sent a splendid tribute of a harp and trumpets. A large basket of azaleas came from the state officers. The offering of the Seventh regiment was its corps badge, a great star of blue immor telles. Shortly before the undertaker completed his arrangements for the removal of the casket Mrs. Harrison and little Elizabeth, both attired in deep mourning, came in the apartment to view the face of their hus band and father. Mrs. Harrison was composed, but showed plainly the traces of her deep sorrow. She remained only a few minutes and then re tired to her apartment. After she had left the room and just before the casket was taken away, Russell Harrison and his wife, with Mr. and Mrs. McKee, entered the room and looked again at the face of the dead. An Old Soldier Mourned. Early in the morning Mrs. Harrison en tered the room where her husband lay to be alone with him for probably the last time. As she stood in the darkened cham ber the door of the room opened noiselessly and an old soldier, bent with age and shiv ering with the bitter cold of the morning, came slowly in. He did not see Mrs. Har rison, and leaning over the dead face, tears came to his eyes. ' Colonel," he said softly, touching the white hand on the general's breast, "Colonel!" Mrs. Harrison came to his side and said, "I am Mrs. Harrison." "You will excuse me," the old man said, "for intruding on your grief, but I want to see my old com mander once more, just once more. I have tried very hard to come to Indianapolis to see him when he was alive and never could. When I heard that he was dead I wanted to give him the old Balute for the last time," and raising his hand to his forehead in true military fashion, the old man turn ed away and passed from the room. Cnsket Curried Out. At a quarter to 12 o'clock General Mc Kee ordered 1200 infantrymen standing at "attention" on both sides of the street to present arms, and in the reverential hush that ensued the casket was carried from the house and placed in the funeral ear. Six sergeants from the Second regiment of the state militia and two sergeants from 1 the Indianapolis Light artillery, General Lew Wallace, representing the army, and Judge Baker and Judge Dowling formed an ! escort of honor, which followed the pall- I bearers from the residence to the hearse. The aged survivors of the Seventh regi ment marched to their place of honor be hind the hearse. When the old, bent sol diers of the civil war saw the black cov- j ered casket holding the body of tS(L friend and leader borne to the^ß many of them were affected to i marched slowly by with uncove and took up their places in the as the parade moved. As the Parade Moved. As soon as the members of the committee had reached their order for the return march was headed by the state guard, marc 1 *' reversed arms and in a slow time ; music of the dirge played by the 1 parade moved slowly away. At the of the column rode Brigadier Genäf Kee and his staff, commanding the division, w hich was composed entM.:* state troops. The Poll lieurera. 3* The honorary pallbearers were s4|m as far as jiossible from members ol President Harrison's cabinet. The lht announced by Secretary Tibbett is a» J4 lows: Ex-Secretary of the 'Navy Benjn^g Tracy of New York, ex-Postmaster Ge—' John Wanaipaker of Philadelphia, ex-Afc torney General W. H. II. Miller of Indian* polis, ex-Secretary of the Interior John A Noble of St. Louis, ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charles W. Foster of Fostoria, IB General Lew Wallacd of Crawfordsville, Ind., Judson Hannon of Cincinnati, who was attorney general under Présidait Cleveland, and Judge William Woods of Indianapolis. The active pallbearers are all from this city and are men who were friends of Gen eral Harrison for many years. The services were conducted by Rev. L M. Haynes, pastor of the First Presbyter ian church. Dr. Haynes delivered the principal ad dress and Dr. Nicholls read the scriptural lessons and offered the invocation. The music, which was simple in character, was furnished by the full choir of the church, composed of *0 singers of the city. At the conclusion of this service the funeral party left the church, going to the Crown Hill cemetery. The services at th« cemetery were simple and brief, consisting of a prayer and the recital of the word» usually spoken as the body is lowered into the grave. Later. Indianapolis, March 18.—In the center of a hollow square, with fully 15 000 of his fellow citizens present, the remains of Benjamin Harrison were Sunday afternoon interred in ihe family lot in Crown Hill cemetery. Close by the grave were the members of his family, President McKinley and other visitors of distinction and the more intimate friends of General Har rison. Back a distance of 50 yards, behind ropes guarded zealously by a large force of police, stood with uncov ered heads the great multitude who knew him not so well as did they who stood beside the freshly upturned earth, but who honored him and ad mired him fully as much. It Is doubt ful If auy public man, at least in this generation, was borne to his last rest ing place among so many manifesta tions of respect. There was no excep tion anywhere to the expression that the nation had lost one of Its ablest men, and the greatest man of his gen eration in his own state. By the grave stood the chief magis trate of the nation and behind the ropes were ail the street Arabs of General Harrison's city—every grade of human life in America, between the two, were represented in the crowd—• and among them all there was but one feeling—that a man iiad died who was honest at all times with himself and with others, and whose ability and character were such as the nation couid ill afford to lose. The weather, like that of yesterday, was unsurpassable, with bright sun light—the warm breath of spring in every breeze and yet in the air a touch of winter that brought the blood to the cheek and sparkle to the eye. 'the services at the church and grave were simple in the extreme, all in most excellent taste, and like the proceedings yesterday, there was an utter absence of friction in everything that was done. All was well ordered and well performed. Surrender of Trias. Washington, March 18. — The w ar c partment has received the following cab gram from General MacArthur at Maui announcing the surrender of Lieutena General Trias: "Adjutant General, Washington: Ma annon Trias, the only lieutenant genei in the insurgent army, has surrendered San Francisco de Malaban, with nine oi cers and 199 armed men.

In prosti Trias in southern Luzon is equal to Agi naldo. "General Bates and Colonel Frank Baldwin are entitled to great credit f persistent work in bringing this about. «laps Excluded. Seattle, Wash., March 18.—Imn gration Inspector Livin arrested for teen Japanese who came fro \ ictona, B. C., by steamer and lodg them in jail.
