GREAT MEN DO HONOR
Obsequies of President Spen-
cer at Washington.
——
SOUTHERN HALTS ITS WHOLE SYSTEN
While Soft Notes of Funeral March
Seunded Through Church Every
Wheel Ceased te Turn, Every
Workman Pald Respect.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 3 All that is
mortal of Samuel Spencer, late presi
dent of the Southern railway, whose
tragic death on his own Tailroad on
the morning of Thanksgiving day
shocked the people of two hemispheres,
was laid to rest yesterday afternoon in
Oak Hill cemetery
A notable tribute was pald to the
memory of the distinguished railroad
maguate by his associates, by states
men and by men eminent in all the
walks of public life. The funeral ob-
{ sequies, held in historic St. John's
Protestaut Episcopal church, were at.
tended by railroad officials, financiers
and public men from all parts of the
country, Mauy of them were lifelong
associates. Hundreds of friends came
from the south
Among the distinguished people who
attended the church services were Vice
President Fairbanks, Justice White of
the supreme court of the United States,
Senator and Mrs. Foraker of Obhlo,
Senator Bacon of Georgia, Governor
Swanson and Senator Martin of Vir
ginia, Senator Kean of New Jersey,
Secretary of the luterior Hitcheock,
Senator Wetmore of Rhode Island and
former Senator llenry G. Davis of
West Virginia.
Just as the soft strains of Chopin's
beautiful funeral march pealed through
the church from the organ at 2 p. m.
throughout the whole system of rail
roads lately presided over by Mr
Spencer every tral came to a dead
stop, every wheel ceased to turn, ev-
ery employee put aside his work. - For
five minutes over the thousands of
miles of railway every employee paid
silent respect to the dead president.
To the strains of the funeral march
the surpliced cholr of forty male
voices silently entered the church and
ranged itself on each side of the altar
The eholr was followed by the Right
Rev. Henry Y. Satterlee, bishop of
Washington; Rev, Dr. Roland Cotton
Smith, rector of St. John's, and the as-
sistant rector of the church.
Immediately afterward J. Pierpont
Morgan of New York, a lifelong friend
and business associate of President
Spencer; Charles Sterling of New York,
First Vice President Andrews and
Second Vice President Finley of the
Southern mallway entered the church
and were followed by the funeral par-
ty, the great concourse of people pres-
ent rising and remaining standing as
the casket bearing the remains was
placed in front of the altar and the
members of the family ere ushered
to their seats. It was pecullarly ap-
propriate that the body bearers should
have been selected from among the
colored porters of the Southern rall-
way. All of them bave Leen In the
service of the company for many
sears, several of them nearly a life
time, and all of them were known per-
soually to President Spencer.
Following the body came the hon-
orary pallbearers, all of them personal
official friends of Mr. Spencer. They
were principally presidents or high of-
ficials of the railroads of America, and
it was voted that, either personally or
by proxy, they represented quite one-
third of the vast wealth of the United
States. E. H. Harriman, a lifetime
friend, was one of the last to arrive at
the church.
The funeral service was strictly in
accordance with the ritual of the Prot.
estant Episcopal church, It was con-
ducted by Bishop Satterlee, assisted by
Rev. Dr. Smith, A special musical pro-
gramme was rendered, Mrs. Spencer
having selected her favorite hymns.
These were:
“Lead, Kindly Light,” “For All the
Saints Who From Their Labors Rest.”
“Abide With Me” and “Fast Falls the
Eventide.”
The burial anthem and gloria were
chanted by the choir to Felton's C
minor setting. When Bishop Satterlee
had pronounced the committal service,
the committal being given In the
church because the body was to be de-
posited only temporarily, the choir
sang “I Heard a Volce From Heaven.”
At the conclusion of the ritualistic
service the remains were borne from
the church during the sluging of
“Abide With Me.”
No such wonderful profusion of ex-
quisite floral offerings has been seen
in Washington since the obsequles of
the inate President McKinley ns filled
the Massachusetts avenue residence of
President Spencer and the chancel at
St. John's church. These tributes came
from all parts of the country. There
were carloads of beautiful emblems
wrought from the rarest of cut flowers.
Only a few wagon loads of the floral
offerings were displayed at the church,
President and Mrs. Roosevelt sent a
wreath of orchids and white roses tied
with white satin ribbons; Vice Presi
dent and Mrs. Fairbanks, a huge bunch
of chrysanthemums; officers of the
Southern raliway, a standing wreath
of orchids, lilies of the valley and vio
lets; J. PP. Morgan, a mass of rare cut

Drastic Measures of Kentucky Mob
Against Tobacco Trost.
PRINCETON, Ky, Dee. 3-—-The to
bacco stemumeries of John Steger and
Jolin G. Orr here, the Intter controlled
by the Imperial Tobacco company of
New York, were destroyed by a fire
which was kindled against them by a
mob of masked men. Several cottages
In the vicinity were badly damaged,
timated at about £170,000.
The mob, which numbered about 300
men, entered Princeton between 1 and
= 8. m., seized the town marshal and
disarmed him, took charge of the po-
Hee station and the waterworks and
set fire to the buildings. Even had
the fire company responded they would
have been unable to obtain water.
Masked men stood on guand, permit-
ting nobly to come near until the
buildings were completely enveloped
in flames, A squad took charge of the
telephone office, and wo wonl of the
affair was permitted to go out
When the members of the mob saw
that the fire was beyond control they
left the town, going in the direction of
Hopkinsville, discharging revolvers and
rides. The fire department then came
out, but could only prevent the fire
from destroying nearby buildings
The work of the mob is Lelleved to
be only a furtherance of the agitation
by the tobacco ralsers agalust the so
called tobacco trust.
A Destroyer to Do Away With War.
NEWARK, N. J, Dec. 3-John P
Holland, the inventor of submarine
boats, spoke in a general way of a
statement In a lecture before the La
Salle society In reganl to a submarine
craft on which he is at work and which
Is desigued to disable instead of de
stroy warships. If It proves success
ful be believes disarmament and pot
annihilation will be the object in war:
fare. “This boat om which 1 am at
work,” he sald, “will be the real new
thing fu submarines. It will be the
chief instrument in doing away with
wars. It will not go forth to destroy,
but to cripple or disable the warships
of the enemy.”
William O'Brien For Conciliation.
LONDON, Dec. 3.—~William O'Brien,
member of parliament for Cork, ad-
dressing a Nationalist meeting at Cas
tle Island, County Kerry, declared that
there was no split or scandal between
himself and his friends. By the silent
force of public opinion, the speaker
said, he bad caused the Irish party to
return to a policy of conciliation. If
he knew that the present government
could carry the full Gladstonian home
rule programme with the present par
Hlament and that it was cheating them
with a contemptible makeshift he
would be the first to denounce jt.

CONGRESS CONVENES
Many Important. Measures
Slated For This Session,
President Rpesevelt Will Sead In
Fifty-ninth Anncal Message To-
merrow—#roceedings Were
Merely Formal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 Roth houses
of congress conveusd here today, but
no business was fransacted on the
opening day other than routine
The proceedings in both houses in
opening the Fifty-ninth session of con-
gress were of the wost formal charac
ter, The attention of the licuse was
officially directed to the fact that four
prominent members of that body
Messrs. Hitt, Hoar, Ketcham and Ad-
ams—have died -zince the close of the
Inst session, and a motion for an ad-
Journment ont of respect to them Im-
mediately followed
The president's message will be re
celved tomorrow, and both houses will
probably adjourn for the day as soon
1% It is read. It Is expected that the
nomination of Attorney General Msody
to succeed Justice Brown on the su-
preme court bench will be nmong the
first nominations to Le sent in by the
president.
The senate has on its calendar two
important house bills, the immigration
bill and the Philippine tariff bill, but
there are spags in the pathway of both.
Not a few members of both houses
are anxious to meet the demands of
the bankers and others for a more
clastic currency, and It Is quite cer
tain that there will be efforts to supply
this want. The recommendations of
the president In the interest of a na-
tional Inheritance tax is awaited with
eager interest by many.
Among the questions slated for a
liberal share of discussion, the tariff
stands at the head of the list. The
president himself, it Is sald, desires
some changes. The Japanese question,
the discharge of the negro soldiers,
the desirability of an income tax law,
the result of the late elections and the
trusts are also slated for discussion,
President Would Stop All Hasty Ace
tion Against Japan.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—President
Roosevelt took n very emphatic pos!
tion in rebuking a member of congress
who had Intended to introduce fu con:
Eress a joint resolution which would
have added fuel to the flame of agita
tion of the differences between this
country and Japan over the
question at San Francisco
The representative In guestion Is E
A. Hayes of the Fifth California dis
trict. Mr. Hayes is very strougly aunti-
Japanese. He already has pending in
cougress a Japauese exclusion bill
which would exclude the Japanese al
most as rigidly as the Chinese are ex
cluded under the existing act of con-
gress,
Mr, Hayes has In Lis possession a
Jolut resolution requesting the presi
dent to enter iuto n pew treaty with
Japan in which Japan would Le re
quired to recognize the right of the
United States to deal with the ques
tion of Immigration of the Jupanese
into this country as it deems fit
When Mr Hayes called at the White
House to consult with the presideat
regarding the relations of the adminis
tration with the Japanese school ques-
tion at San Francisco something al
wost dramatic hnppened to him
The president told him with great
earnestness that his resolution was ill
timed and that It wight make dificult
the work the government was seeking
to do In bringlog about an amicable
adjustment of the entire question, He
very strongly urged the California rep-
resentative not to Introduce any meas-
=e Livol
tend to inflame the Californian mind
or excite any further antipathy on the
part of the Japanese. It {3 understood

Mr. Hayes,

“I do not think that we will have
trouble with the Japanese over this
school question at this time,” he said,
“but we will have war with that coun
try in the future. The Japanese have
got it Inte thelr heads that they will
control the Paciic and we bave got it
into our heads that we will control It
A clash will eventually come
“1 do not belleve that Japau Is ready
for a struggle with this country over
the question of her people mixing In
the public schools with ours. But 1
can say without the least desire to
inflame the controversy that the peo-
ple of the Pacific coast, especially of
California, are united on this question,
It is not a party question at all. Re-
publicans, Democrats, labor people,
all, have not learned to hold the Japa
nese lu ns high esteem as might be
possible.”
