Ceremonies at Trinity CM - Military ail Civic Societies in Line — Scenes on tie Streets anil Along tie Water Front— Tie Charleston Sails. With becoming ceremonies the funeral services of tin* late King Kalakaua were conducted yesterday afternoon at Trinity Episcopal Church. For the first time in the history of the United States a King had died on the soil of the great American republic, and it was considered fitting that the body should be given every honor commensurate with the Importance of the occasion. Representatives of the Federal, state and Municipal Government vied with each other in making the scene one long to be remem bered by those who wi*jgssed it, while the Knights Templar, of wfiich the King was a conspicuous member, paid their last tribute of respect to his memory. __ It is safe to s.iy, in fact, that no funeral in San Francisco ever attracted more universal attention or was conducted with more pomp and splendor. liver, thing contributed to add to the public interest, and the people of Ha waii may well feel proud of the splendid tribute paid to their dead monarch. ' A LARGE GATHERING. Long before the hour announced forthe holding of the services people gathered by thousands, until the street i.i front of the L 4%* ~ ■ -'"\w* At the dote of the Service. . church was jammed for blocks with a strug gling, jostling, swaying mass of humanity, a 11 eager to witness the singular spectacle pre sented by the burial of a King. So great became the press that the police were compelled to maintain at least a show • of order, and it was with the grpatest diffi crlty thai the steps leading to the church weii ; t clear in order to allow a passage way sot those who desired to enter. By dint of mm exertion, however, this was effected, and thus-, fortunate euougti lo De possessed . of tickets of admission to the interior of the church succeeded in making their way in, slowly at firs-, but in ever increasing num bers, until the large auditorium was com ' pletely packed. PIMPLE DECORATIONS. . Inside the church but little attempt at decoration bad been made, the chancel alone having been beautified for the occasion. The mellow light that stole in through the stained glass windows lighted up the Interior but dimly, aud revealed a scene that was at once impressive and solemn in its very sim plicity. Back of the bier, which stood in center of the chancel, two large silken flags, the one of the United .States and the other the royal banner of Hawaii, hung side by side in graceful folds, while in front cf the elevated platform a row of tropical plants in boxes extended from side to side, the dark green of their glossy leaves standing out in bold relief against the red, white and blue tackgrouid. Palms and ferns were pro fusely distributed about the platform, and at the head of the bier, elevated so as to be plainly within the view of all, was a huge crown of white and purple chrysanthemums emblems of purity and royalty. SENT BY THE NOBLES. Co ns; icuous, however, in all the array of plants ai.d flowers was a large floral piece of peculiar beauty sent by the Nobles of th*- Mystic Shrine. It represented a largo panel, resting upon a green easel, and bear ing in letters of violets, upon a field of white tuberoses, the word "Islam," while below, worked also in violets, were the facinieter aud crescent, symbols of the order. Slowly the spectators entered, and nearly an hour was consumed in filling the audi torium. Shortly before 1 o'clock ex-Mayor Pi ml, clad from bead to foot in severe black, entered quietly by a side door and passed to a seat well forward and near the center aisle. A moment later he was joined by D. J. Staples, J. B. Stetson and C. B. Stone, close upon whose heels came Ad miral Gnome Brown, accompanied by Cap tain Bemy of the cruiser Charleston, Flag- Lieutenant Dyer and Lieutenant Blow, their brilliant uniforms lending color to the Mi **t&jftoffiwp "■■' Th* Winners' Tribute. __ scene. Very few were yet in the seats, and as Senator A. P. Williams, Morris M. Estee, C. F. Crocker, Dr. Woods, T. J. L. Smiley, Thomas O'Brien and other well known men passed in from time to time they instantly attracted the attention of those present. OOLDKN GATE COMMANDKRT. A few minutes after 1 o'clock Golden Gate Coniinaiidery, Knights Templar, un der command of Colonel Edwards, entered in a body, and in column of twos passed down the central aisle. At a signal they toak their seats to the right, and fifty swords rung upon the floor of the church as they settled into their places. As a token of mourning they hold their white-plumed bats upon their right shoulder. The crowd now rapidly increased in num bers, am) at 1:30 the huge bell in the tower .overhead tolled its announcement that the hour for the services had arrived. Scarcely had the sound died sway when the organ pealed forth -the sCaina of Beethoven's fuueral march, and the procession eutered the church with the royal casket in its midst borne by six colored men, and headed by the various Episcopal clergymen of the The Morning Call. city in their white surplices. As a guard of honor six stalwart artillerymen from the regular army fpllowed close upon the clergy men, and behind the casket walked Colonel Baker, late aid-de-c.imp to the King, nnd Consul-General McKinley. Gen eral John Gibbon and Major-General Will iam 11. Dimond, each accompanied by their respective staffs in full uniform, passed to their seats, as did also the staff of Gover nor Markham and the numerous train of honorary pall-bearers. COVEKED WITH FLAGS. The casket containing the body of "lie King was one of the most elegant c 'En able in the city, being made of the best red cedar, with copper-metallic lining. The handles were of oxvdized silver, Inlaid with gold, and the whole was finished in the highest stylo of the undertakers' art, the work of Messrs. Cowen & Co., who were the funeral directors. It was placed upon the bier In the center of the chancel and was completely concealed from view by American aud Hawaiian flags tastefully draped together, while upon them rested a large pillow of white chrysan themums and eallalilics— the offering of Mrs. Herman Oelriclis. When ail were seated the choir sang the burial psalm, followed by the well-known hymn, " Jestisalcin the Golden." Rev. E. B. Spaulding, rector of St. John's Episcopal Church, then advanced to the front of the platform and read that portion of the burial service from the twentieth chapter of First Corinthians, beginning with the words: "Now is Christ risen from the dead. nn. reed's address. At the conclusion of the reading the choir sang "Asleep in Jesus," and Key. j. San der^ Reed arose to piouounco the fuueral sermon. lv lance he said: "Death Is not anew thing. It is older than the history of man. Most of us have been taught to believe that death came as the result ol Adam's sin, but | philosophy to-day teaches us a different story. We now know that in the remote ages of antiquity, whan man was not vet born, grim monsters crushed and killed each ollie" on -the icy plains of the primitive world. Death, in other words, is merely a condition of existence, and but for it liie earth would long since have become uniu habitable. "Death does not break the thread of ex istence. In our dreams we see our friends and hear them talk. In death it is the same. Not even the body is destroyed. In proof of this we realize that before us now lies the holy of an honored Kin*. Through the law of development he will undergo a change, and may yet bloom in the flowers of his island home. "This King made a name for honor. By slow degrees he developed this character, and by a process of evolution will continue to develop it in the world to come. Each of us will be what we are in life, but much more so. Those who strive to improve their opportunities will continue the Improve ment, while those who neglect them will grow worse. Ills WORK WAS 1 ,\i;. "This dear King made of himself a certain thing, aud it is doubtful if a longer life on earth would have tended to larger spiritual development. Garfield and Lincoln were token up, as we thought, before their time but we can now believe thai their work was done and other men were needed to carry on what they had begun. And so it may be With ibis King. ••And now. officers of the fleet, on behalf of the people not only of this church, but of San Francisco ami the United States, we bid you take the remains of ibis man back to his native island. Carry with you the assurance of our'sincere sympathy. We thank God that seventy years ago there were raised up missionaries that converted the natives of the Sandwich lslanffs, and since that time monarch niter monarch has been baptized in the Christian faith, including this man. in the providence ot God be was taken away, but his body will now be sent back to the island he loved so well, and for which his bear: ever yearned." When the minister ended his short hut earnest address the choir sang "Rock of Ages," and the assembled clergy repeated the creed, followed by a brief benediction. 'Ihe buoy was then removed, and the cor tege filed out of the church to the strains of 'Asleep in Jesus." INVITED GUESTS.

The pall-bearers followed the hearse only a short distance down Post street, after which they were provided with carriages to finish the journey to the water front. OUTSIDE THE CHURCH. Battle of flio Police to Clear Streets and Sidewalks. Sidewalks and streets in the vicinity of the church were becoming crowded to an alarming extent when a squad of fifty po lice, under command of Captain Douglass and Sergeants Birdnall , M Barter, marched up Post street. Then began the battle to keep the sidewalk immediately in front of the church, also the street, clear. The police formed in line just in front of the sacred ediliee and thon marched to the south side of the street,' driving the specta tors back on Union square. Another north ward sweep cleared the. street and sidew alk in front of the main entrance to the churcu. Officers were stationed in lino along either side of the steps and out to the edge ot the sidewalk. Captain Douglass stood in the center between these lines and was soon joined by Chief Crowley. The spectators pushed their way toward the building where the remains ot the de ceased sovereign lay in state. Soon the pi lice were re-enforced by a squad of fifteen mounted men under Sergeant Spillane. The mounted officers quickly cleared the street of pedestrians and prevented further conlu sion by not allowing vehicles to pass over Post street between Powell and Stockton. Everything was in good order and the street perfectly clear, however, when the car riages containing arm/, navy and militia officers and other iuviied guests began to arrive. The crowd steadily increased in size until at l o'clock, the hour set tor the commence ment of the services, it must Pave num bered many thousands. The sidewalks on both sides of Post street, from Powell to Grant avenue, \f_re pacaed with a crowd so dense that people were unable to stir. Spectators covered the roofs and filled the windows of all the houses in the vicinity from which the entrance to the church was visible. These were the envy ot the b-ss fortunate individuals who were being crushed and jammed on the pavement be low. Every photographer In San Francisco ap peared to have turned out with his camera, in order to photograph, all that could be seen of the royal obsequies.. Tnese artists occupied fences, windows, roofs of build lugs and every available piece of vantage ground. About 12:30 o'clock a mounted detach ment of the National Guard arrived and took up its position. on Post street, ' near Powell. The bright uniforms ot the Hussars added brilliancy to th» scene; the some what somber-costumed police contracting strangely with the appearance of the militia company. yy At 1:30 o'clock the funeral cortege entered ~SAN FRANCISCO, FRIDAY MORNiya~JANUARY 23. 1891-EIGHT PAGF.S. the church by the main entrance on Post street, twenty members of the police force forming in two lines extending from the door to the curb. When the casket con taining the remains of the dead monarch, the chief mourners and the invited guest* had entered, the guard before the door was discontinued to allow the admission of the general public. The crowd, with a disgrace ful lack of regard for the solemnity of the occasion, made a wild rush for the church, and the steps cf the sacred edifico were soou the scene of a general melee, in whicii men and women poshed and scrambled in an unseemly effort to reach the door. The members of the force endeavored to make the ingress more orderly, but all in vain, so the guard of 20 was resumed, and with the assistance of the mounted officers nil were excluded and forced back some dis tance from the church steps. The people thus summarily dealt with protested vigor ously against the expulsion, but without effect. THE FUNERAL CORTEGE Solemn March of an Imposing Military Escort. Hegular Troops, National Guardsmen, Knights Templar and Others Follow the King's Remains. By 2:20 o'clock, when the doleful tones of Trinity's bell pealed the signal that the serv ices within the church were concluded, tbe funeral pageant was in readiness to start. There weie about ItiJO men in the funeral cortege, but their slow march through the streets attracted more attention and a greater number of spectators than bad any previous parade in San Francisco. It was a sorrowful yet picturesque scene. With slow tread two troops of [Inited States cavalry and a light battery of artillery, a commaudery of Knights Templar, three regiments of tho Second Brigade. N. G. C, and a battalion of anotlier marched with arms reversed and in platoons of twelve files front. From the church, along Post street and down Market to East, space to view the procession was at a premium. Every inch of the sidewalks was occupied. and thousands looked from windows, door steps and housetops. It was with consider able difficulty that the police prevented the spectators from invading the streets in order to obtain a nearer view of the casket con taining the monarch's remains.

The funeral cortege arrived nt the foot of Market street at half past 3 o'clock. The light-house boat Madrono was lying at Washington-street Wharf ready to receive its royal charge, while about 1000 yards out iv the stream rode the Charleston. The crowd that gathered at the wharf was oue of the largest that has ever been seen on the water front, exceeding in numbers that which assembled to witness the arrival of General Grant and the coining of Presi dent Hayes.

As s "on as the remains were deposited on the deck of the Charleston, Admiral brown gave orders to start on the melancholy jour ney to the islands.

Lincoln (Nebr.), Jan. 22.— joint convention of the Legislature to hear the election contest met this morning, but at once took a recess until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when the decision of the Supreme Court on the legality of the proceedings was formally delivered. The court holds that the signature of the Governor and Lieutenant-Governor to a concurrent resolu tion are necessary to make Iho acts of a joint convention valid. This leaves the Independents in some what of a dilemma. They must proceed to pass another concurrent resolution, and this will take about six days. If Governor Boyd refuses to sign it under to-day's decision, no contest can be held. They assert that a resolution calling for a joint session to con test the right of the Governor to his seat should be legal without his signature, but the State constitution is mandatory on that point. There is some talk of their droo ping the contest. If they do, the only ob stacle in Boyd's way will be the proceed ings to test his citizenship instituted by ex- Governor Thayer.

A New York Criticism on the Demand for Coast Products. - * -*.: ___' New York, , Jan. 22.— The Commercial Bulletin says: Since the beginning of the year a report has frequently been circulated that Chicago : and , other . Western '.'centers would sooner or later be drawing upon New York- for supplies of ,'; California dried fruits, peaches and 'apricots in particular. Judgiug from the reports as I to the position of the supplies and their distribution In the West more goods will be required there should the demand continue re as good in the near future as it has been the past two or three weeks. Up to the present we do not find that the Windy City mer chants have made purchases here, nor that anxious Inquiries for goods have been re ceived from that or other Western points.

Washington-, Jan. 22.— From the follow ing communications it would seem that jus tice by jury trial in Alaska is a very expen sive luxury. Attorney-General Miller is lv receipt of a letter from Marshal Porter at Sitka, saying that the trial of Murderer Clark, who killed Agent George Hemingway of the Alaska Commercial Company, takes place shortly, but siibpenas caunot be served for lack of funds for the transportation of wit nesses. It becomes necessary, therefore, for the Government to furnish a revenue cutter for the transportation of witnesses. He urges on Congress the importance of imme diate action. He says there are many re volting murderers at large, and the citizens are entirely dependent uion Congress for protection to life and property. Territorial Attorney Johnson indorses these recommendations and says twelve witnesses will be required at the trial of Clark and it will cost about SIOOO for each transportation via Sail Francisco, so It would be economy for the Government to furnish a vessel. Judge Bugbee also in dorses Mr. Porter's letter. Attorney-General Miller says £15,000 should be appropriated annually in order to cover the 1500 miles between Sitka and -Ooual.iuka. Secretary Windom transmits these com munications to Conuress and concurs with the recommendations therein contained, and says that the vessel should sail from San Fran cisco not later than March 15th next.
