o'clock yesterday morning tho floral
tributes to tho Into ex-Secretary Wnltel
(. Greshum began tonrrlveuttlioroomi
In tho Arlington hotel nnnox In which
the body of tho departed secretary ol
state lay. Most of these wcro scut to
tho white house, where the funeral
service wus to bo held. Mrs. Greshum,
broken In spirit, exhausted by bet
long vigils ami overcome with grief,
was in such a nervous state that hci
daughter .ind son prevailed upon her
not to undei.nko the trying ordeal ol
attainting tho services at tho white
house.
At exactly 0:50 o'clock fivo red-coat-cd
trumpeters marched up Lafayette
place and stationed themselves outside
tho lino of mounted polico to glvo tho
signal when tho corlego should, de
part. Thirty heconds later tho
hearse, drawn by two black horses,
drow up at tlio door. Tho prcr.l.
dent, followed by members of
tho cabinet in tho order of their rank,
acting ns honorary pallbearers, de
scended tho steps nnd stood with un
covered heads while the eight artillery
men carried the coflln, shrouded com
pletely in tho folds of nn American flag
nnd covered with flowers, to the
hearse. The death vchlclo halted nt
tho corner until the president and
members of his official family in their
carriages had taken their position
ahead.
The funeral procession, preceded by
n squad of mounted police, moved
slowly down Lafayette square, flunked
on either side by n lino of policemen,
behind whom wero thousands of pco
plo, many of them with bowed
und uncovered heads. The proces
sion swept nround tho groat
bronze stutuo of Lafayette, nt
tho corner of tho square, and up
the broad avenue, passed the drawn
up artillery nnd cavnlry nt the en
trance of the white houso grounds nnd
tho carriages carrying the diplomatic
corps, members of tho supremo court,
ofllclals, moinbors of congress and
other invited guests drove up ut the
steps of tho whlto house.
Tlio coflln, preceded by tho president
nnd cabinet, wus borne by the artil
lerymen to tlio cast room, which was
elaborately draped. A fow moments
before JO o'clock tho family of tho do
ccased, except Mrs. Qresham, wcro
ushered into the grcon room. Almost
Immediately at a sign from Col. Wil
son, the coflln, borno by eight ser
geants of tlio Fourth artillery, was
brought in. Tho floral tributes wero
gathered by thcushtrs-nnd heaped
upon the black surface of tho coflln.
Htshop Hurst stepped forward and a
hush foil upon tho company, while the
clergyman said: "I am the resurrec
tion and the life." The scrvlco was
very slmplo nnd free from ostentation.
It wns the full burial service of tlio
Methodist Episcopal church, practical
ly tho same us that of tho Episcopal
Church. The entire servlcu lasted
but tlftcon minutes.
Just at 11 o'clock a buglo sounded ns
the signal to move. A carrlago with
Mrs. Greshiim and her dnugter joined
the funeral cortege nt the executive
mansion. The military, which had
been drawn up tin Pennsylvania ave
nue, faclug the white houso grounds,
awaiting ortlcrs, was given tlio word
of command und the funeral party
with its military escort moved down
Pennsylvania avenue to 'the Hnltimora
it Ohjo station, from which the sad
journey to Chicago was to be made.
At Chicago.
Chicaoo, May 31. With notable civic
tributes the body of tho late Secretary
Walter Q. Greshum was temporarily
laid to rest yesterduy afternoon in
O.ikwoods cemetery amid the flower
strewn graves of his comrades tn arms
and In tho shadow of the monument
.ledlcatcd only a short time before in
honor of tho valor of those who had
given their lives for tho confederate
cause. Tho brief time after tho deci
sion us to tlio time and placo of burial
gave little opportunity for elaborate
preparations for funeral honors.
The funeral train was met ut the
station by tho military ani escorted to
the cemetery.
Arrived at the cemetery chapel, the
casket was removed from the funeral
car und bornu wlth'n by eight ser
geants of marines. The services, con
ducted by Rev. S. J. McPhcrbon, of the
Second Presbyterian church, were im
pressive but simple, consisting merely
of Scriptural readings, a hymn by the
ch i und prayer. At their conclusion
the boJy wus temporarily deposited in
the receiving vault of the cemetery.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies
at the grave the presidential purty re
turned to Washington.
