His Fuueral at Indianapolis Attended by an Immense Concourse of People. Diaz answered tbe call by promls.ng the Federal aid necessary to quell tne Incipient resell ion. On the strength of these assurances the State officials disorganized the Stale forces In several of the municipalities. THE UPRISING. No sooner was this done than the revolutionary chieftain caused an uprising in several strongholds and boldly pronounced against the State Government.

The acting Governor demanded Federal assistance, and President Diaz could not constitutionally do otherwise than grant it. Orders were at once issued accordingly, and Gov. Sepulvedo was notified that Gen. Reyes, commander of tbe Federal forces in Monterey, would sustain the State. Gen.

Reyes' orders were evidently attached to the end of a string, for when Gov. Sepulvedo notified him that the revolutionists were marching toward Monterey from all directions Gen. Reyes declined to furnish troops to fight them. A FLEEING GOVERNOR. Gov.

Sepulvedo abandoned the capital Thursday and took up bis headquarters at Villa Garcia, twenty miles south of Monterey. The revolutionists, led by Manuel Rodreguez, marched to Villa Garcia, arriving there Sunday afternoon. Gov.

Mr. Springer expects to offer bis new rules In the Democratic caucus next Saturday night tor the consideration of that body. There will Le no action, however.

There is talk Here that the River and Harbor Cointniiteu may be very much remodeled in the next House. The unsatisfactory work of the committee last session leads the Mississippi Valley people to urge thai that section have a better representation this year. Thomas and Henderson ol Illinois will doubtless be retained on the committee. It is stated in the most positive terms that Mr. Morrison and bis followers have determined to demand a thorough overhauling and radical reduction of the tariff.

Mr. tcboenbof, a prominent free-trade advocate, who was recently appointed Consul at Tunstail, has returned lull of free-trade enthusiasm, and bar, bad some long- conferences with Secretary Bayard and Mr. Morrison iu the last few days. Mr. Morrison bus outlined a proposed tar.

While the President's recommendations on the subject Rre not known. specifically, it is known that he will tavor very thorough and earnest revenue reform. The resolutions of the Herlin Conference relative to the Congo have not teen submitted to the Senate.

They are in possession ol the State Department. There is reason to believe they will be transmitted to the Senate upon the opening of Congress with an unfavorable recommendation from the President. The reports, official and otherwise, which have reached our Government as to the deadly climate the Congo and the tact that its resources have been greatiy exaggerated have, it is believed, convinced the Administration that lor these reasons alone it is unwise lor the United States to have anything to do with that region.

William S. Dunham, the grand Jury bailiff, died at his residence, No. 91 Wilson street, Monday night from a complication or diseases of the heart, kidneys, and spine. Mr. Dunham wa9 born In Geneva, N.

and would have been 54 years old next Christmas. The morning of Tbanksgiving-Day be was taken sick while at work in tbe grand fury room, and went home. He gradually grew worse and suffered intensely from acute pains on bis deathbed, but he did not complan. Mr. Dunham resided In Chicago during the last twenty-five years.

He was connected witb the Fire Derartment about eighteen years, and had been a bailiff seven years. He owned bis borne at No. 91 Wilson street, besides acre property In Hyde Park and lots in Austin. He leaves a wife and three children Miss Maggie aged 20, a boy of 13, and a boy 2 years old. He was a memLer of Pleiades Lodge of Maeons.

and they will probably take charge of his funeral, which wiil not be held beiore Friday. Surviving Mr. Dunham are bis brother John Dunham, a wholesale grocer at Minneapolis, and his sisters Mrs. Yates, Mrs. Shannon of Peoria, and Mrs.

Dr. Joel Prescott, widow ol Dr. Prescott, who wao murdered in bis batb-bouse on Desplaines street about three years ago. State forces were more fortu nate; two were killed and five wounded. The State is now practically without a Governor i Si cemetery a mile distant the Indianapolis Light Artillery began to fire minute guns, which were continued until tne hearse approached the grave.

AT THE GRAVE. The scenes at tbe grave were Impressive. The body of the procession had aisbanded after passing beyond the city limits, and only tbe imiitarf with the mounted escort entered the cemetery. When Mrs. Hendricks, leaning upon the arm or Mr.

Morgan, stepped upon the matttag placed beside tne grave, and before the casket was removed from the hearse, she paused to look down Into tbe las resting-place of ber dead husband only to see a picture of loveliness in its lining of green leaves and flowers. Then she turned to the grave of her child, which bad been made glorious with a covering of smilax. Her glance then caught the monument, with its drapery of the National bag enveloping a life-like portrait of her husband. She turned with tbe bravery of heroism to witness the rites. Just as tbe coffin was placed beside the grave there was a slight sprinkling of rain.

The golumbu Barracks Band at Ibis point played the Atner can Hymn, and the reading ot tbe service followed. While the service was read the Congressional Committee, the members of the Cabinet, and other distinguished visitors stood upou th other side of the grave. When the coffin had been lowered into the vault by the i our co. ored assistants of the undertaker, and there was nothing remaining to be done, Mrs. Hendricks and the friends of tho fam.ly passed by the grave and took their carriages.

LEAVING TUECITY. The members or the Cabinet left on their special train over tbe Baltimore Ohio Koad to return to Washington at 6 o'clock, departing almost immediately upon their return from the cemetery. The Senate and House committees, accompanied by tbe Supreme Court ustices, le.t at the same hour in their special over the Pennsylvania Koad. Special trains left this city over all the roads early in the evening carrying away the greater portion of tbe visitors. A close railway estimate stiuws that 30,000 people arrived in the city within tbe twelve hours preceding the funeral, which taxed the capacity of tbe hotels.

The fear of President Cleveland to attend the obsequies was tbe subject of comment among those attending from abroad, and the impi esson appears to have gained ground that he might possibly attend, notwitstaudmg the publisned atinouucemeut tnat he would not be able to do so. There was a rumor that he actually accompanied the Cabinet ministers, which found its way into print, but it was found to be idie and with no foundation. If there was any general sentiment expressed concerning the absence of the President it was that bis coming would have divested the element of unsafety about tbe person of the President, the thought of wnic'n should not be harbored in the nds of the people. In the line of the procession tbe decorum shown was one of tbe striking features of the day's happenings. The presence of no one was marked by a obeer or even an open acknowledgment, which might be deemed, in its way.

an eloquent tribute to the dead and a pro-lound respect for the nature of the event. When the arrangements for the interment were being pen ected it was suggested that a mil tary guard should be placed at the tomb at least lor a time. Tbe directors of Crown Hill Cemetery declared that this would be needless, as their watchmen were efficient against any possible vandalism. This view was also taken by tbe family, and no special guard was placed over tbe grave. SHE 19 LEFT ALONE.

The death of Vice-President Hendricks leaves his widow in one sense entirely aloue, so far as the possession and keening up of their homestead in th.s city is involved. It is presumed, however, that she will lor a time make ber home with the family of S. M. Morgan, who bus been close to her in ber present great bereavement. Coi.

At a dinner at St. George's Club tonight, given to E. J. Moflatt of the American Consulate, who Bails on the steamship Kepublio tor a vacation at borne in Albany, Consul-General Wa ler made an eloquent and touching tribute to the memory of tne late Vice-President Hendricks, which deeply impressed tbe Englishmen present. The Standard, commenting on the funeral of Mr.

Hendricks and on the absence of tbe President, Bays: The American people must have but slight confidence In their railway system. It will appear to Englishmen that the President was not, well advised in allowing himself to be deterred from attending the funeral of his colleague by a risk so influitesiaially small as that of a railway accident on the way. After ail, any difficulty which might be raised might be as nothing to the peril incurred by Spain when King Alfonso, having no male heir, went among his cholera-stricken subjects. His sense of duty, apparently, diOered from that of President Cleveland. The last Napoleon and the present King of Italy saw their duty in the same light as King Alfouso.

Both, without hesitation, run a risk ten thousand times greater than that which prevented President Cleveland from being present at the funeral of Vice-President Hendricks. and further fighting is anticipated. It is be- lieved that Gen. Reyes has confidential instruc- I tions from the City or Mexico not to interfere with the revolutionists. Martial law will be proclaimed without doubt.

All the indications go to show that tbe trouble was manufactured for the occasion in a thoroughly Mexican style. I THE BALKAN "WAR. A SERVIAN COLOXEL WHO IMAGINES HE CAN DRIVE OUT THE BULGARIANS. Belgrade, Dec. 1.

i THE ARMISTICE STRICTLY OBSERVED. The armistice between Servia and Bulgaria is being strictly observed by all parties. It will continue ten days.

The Austrian general Albori 1 has gone to Nissa and wi.l assume command of the Servians if hostilities reopen. I BULGARIAN PEACE PROPOSALS. Prince Alexander has telegraphed to King Milan his proposals for peace. Each country will be required under tbe conditions suggest- i ed to respect tne integrity of tbe other's terri- tory.

The population ot Lima is about 100.000, but it has suaered sadly rrom war's ravages of recent years, the occupation of the city by the Chilians durum the Peruvian-Chilian war beine very destructive in its effects. The palace, referred to in the above dispatch, is od the north side of the Plaza Mayor, a grand square which is the central point ot the city's life and business. This tine square Is a regular quadrangle, each side of which is 510 feet long, having in the centre a magnificent bronze fountain.

ANARCHY IN NORTHERN MEXICO.

A REVOLUTION IN PROGRESS IN NCEVO LEON THE RESULT OF INTRIGUES. Mo.vteeet, Dec 1. A revolution is now in progress In the State of Nuevo Leon, Mei co, in the interest of Romero Sublo, Secretary of the Interior of the United Mexico States, and father-in-law of President Diaz. Subio aspires to succeed Diaz to the Presidency ot Mexico, and is laving the foundation of his election by elevating such persons to bijrh offices in tbe different Mexican States as II use their influence for him in the election which takes place in about a year. Tbe trouble arose from one of these changes being attempted in the governorship of Nuevo Leon.

The situation between the revolutionists and the Government party is becoming more complicated. Fears are entertained that if the National Government does not speedily send aid to the civil authorities under the acting- Governor, the revolution will assume such proportions that all Northern Mexico will ultimately be drawn into it. A BLOODY SUNDAY FIGHT. Last Sunday oigbt tbe Acting Governor, Sepulveda, with a guard of 100 men, whi returning to this city from the Villa Garcia was attacked in the suburbs by 600 revolutionists.

The remainder stood their ground for a short time, then kept up a running- fight, but were finally routed, retreating southward for the State line of Nuevo Leon and Coabuiia. SEVEN WERE SLAIN. Tbe revolutionists lost five killed and ten wounded in the fight. The guards lost but two men killed. The Governor and such of his followers as did not desert made their escape to ly complicate matters.

She was a Woman of more than ordinary executive ability. Early members or the First Baptist Society will recall to mind tbe active useluiness of Mrs. Tucker in that chureh, which her husband and herself bad joined sooia after their arrival, bringing letters from their pastor in New York. She was long a member of the church choir, and was prominent among tbe women of the church in all commendable religious enterprises and for social improvement in tLe "new village."

AN EXCITING BATTLE IN DETROIT BETWEEN A SQUAD OK POLICE OFFICERS AND A MOB OF PuLlfeH CHUIU'H PEOPLE. Detroit, Deo. 1. Special. The trouble in M.

Albert's Polish Catbolio Church on St. Aubin avenue culminated this morning in a battle between 1,000 women of the congregation and a squud of police led by Capt. Jesse Mack or Gratiot Avenuo Station. Yesterday afternoon father Kolasinski turned over the books of the church and was deposed by shop Borgess. Last night it was rumored that Fathers Jawotski aud Dombrowski had been placed in temporary charge.

Capt. Mack learned that troub'o was intended, and at 7 o'clock this morning two patrol-wagons and a dozen patrolmen were ordered to the place. On arriving they found the large yard in trout of the church crowded with an excited throng. St. Aubin avenue and Fremont street on both sides of tho church were also jammed.

At 6 o'clock the church was openeu for early mass. Father Dombrowski attempted to ascend the altar, when the whole us-enibly rose to its feet and made a rush at m. with Dim! We want only our own priest!" was tne cry. Several women led the eburge, anii were the first to lay hands on the priest. They were seconded by about nT-teen men who came in at itus juncture.

In a very few seconds the priests were out and the church doors locked. The excitement increased every moment, and at Cupt. Mack, in charge of the police, insisted that the mob of wotueu should disperse. Theu ttgnn a wild scene. Tne police charged into the throng.

The crowd opened before them and as rapidly closed again. Women fought like tigers, usiug sticks, umbrellas, and bricks to pouud the enemy, and they cia wed, bit, and kicked like fluuus. 3 ho police piled them up on the sidewalk, and others would pick them up and drag them away. Some knelt on the church steps and praved. Sods and shouts were mingled in a babel of voices.

A few men got inside, and were hustled out by main lorce. Some of the women were put into wagons, but alierwards released. After a hard fight of twenty minutes Capt. Mack was victorious. Anton Speiuski, a leader, was arrested.

Oue woman in a delicae condition tell upon the walk and was trampled upon by her excited companions. With considerable difficulty the oHicers leached the prostrate woman, who was carried iuto an adjoining bouse in great agony. She afterwards, it is reported, gave.birth to a child which died as soon as born. When Father Kolasinski reached the church ai 1'-'- iu he held out bis hands and women crowded around and eagerly kissed them. Anton Herr, oue of the trustees of the church, claims that Father Dombrowski instigated all the trouble with a view of acquiring the hand-come property of St.

Albert's congregation lor the Franciscan Order, of which be is a member. The order already contiols the school in connection with St. Albert's Church, and is dow building a tneological seminary iu the neighborhood. Brother Zaworski, who was w.tti Father Dombiowski when the latter was thrown out of the church this morning, was ulo with Dr. Daugelzer when tho lutte' was driven out of the St.

Joachim French Catholic parsonage some weeks ago. That the action of the congregation was p'anned there cau be no doubt. Tho omen flocked to Father Kolasinskl's residence las' evening and entreated him to be away this morning when the storm broke. Tho pastor ha had charge of the par sh lour years. In that time he has paid off 7.UUU of oid indebtedness and built a handsome new church which cost to coit'plcte about 870,000.

This letter, Mrs. Hendricks says, was one purely of personal condolence and sympathy, and not one that she would cure to gve out lor publication. When Mrs. Hendricks returned to her home from Crown Hill, the oid homestead residence, which had been left in the charge of a committee of women, was divested of all the memorial floral tributes and other sharp reminders of ber great sorrow. Grate-flies had been lighted and everytD'ng had been done to restore tbe rooms to their lormer homelike appearance.

The mortal remains of Thomas A. Hendricks, the fifth Vice-President of the United States to die during bis term of office, were conveyed to tbe tomb today. The event was made memorable in many respects by the presence of a tremendous concourse of people all parts of the Nation to wimess the simple rites which preceded their interment. The presage of inclement weather the day of his funeral which was given yesterday was verified only to tbe extent of a wintry, leaden sky and a thick atmosphere during tbe early hours. The business life of the city was entirely suspended.

The early morning trains on all the railways brought delegates from tho National Capital and all the leading cities of the Union. The Cabinet was represented by Secretary ot State Bayard, Secretary ot Interior Lamar, Secretary the Navy Wuitney, Secretary of War Eudicott, and Postmaster-General Vilas. The Supreme bench of the United States was represented by Associate Justices Matthews and Blatobiord. The United States Senate was represented by Senators Edmunds, Allison, Pugh, Harris, Conger, Blair, Dolpb, Vest, Beck, Camden, Vance, Jones, Voorhees, Payne, Palmer, and Harrison. The committee representing the House of Representatives was composed of W.

K. Morrison. J. H. A.

Herbert, W. S. Holraan, W. M. Springer, W.

P. Hepburn, S. B. Ward, W. W.

Phelps, J. J. Kleiner, Thomas Ityao, and P. Dunn. The Governors of Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and Kentucky were present, attended by their staffs and numerous State officers.

Schofield was the chief representative of the United States army present. Ex-President Kutherford B. Hayes and Gen. William T. Sherman were distinguished guests, the latter accompanying a delegation from St.

Louis. The city wore a garb of mourning. One of tho central points of attraction for the visiting multitude was the modest home of tho late Vice-President on Tennessee street. On the street in Iront of tho house gathered a large but respectlul crowd, which grew iu numbers as the forenoon advanced. At 9 o'clock Mrs.

Hendricks entered the room for her last leave-taking, accompanied only by her brother and s. Morgan. The ordeal was most trying, and tne desolate woman seemed to be utterly prostrated. Impressed with tbe placid and li elike appearance of the dead, she desired to preserve tli is lust scene, and so, late as it was. she sent lor a photographer to take a picture of the casket.

Shortly after this tbe pali-bearers arrived. The draped hearse and carriages for the family and friends were marshaled betore the door, aud preparations were made for the final removal of the body. This was done without further leave-taking. AT TOE cnritcH. Tho casket was borne into St.

Paul's Cathedral at 11:40 o'clock, the vast congregation having already been seated, with the exception of the immediate reiaiives and the church vestry. The ofliciating clergy, four in number Uiehop Knickerbocker ot this diocese; tne Kev. Dr. Stringt'eliow, Montgomery. Ala, tbe first rector of St.

Paul's: the Kev. Dr. Fulton, St. Louis, a former rector of St. Paul's; and the Kev.

Dr. Jenekes, tbe present rector in their robes of office, met the remains at the main entrance of the cathedral on Illinois Sti eet. Bishop Knickerbocker voiced the opening sentence or the burial service, I am the resurrection and the life," followed by the Kev. Drs. Stringt'eliow and Fulton in their recitation of the other verses used lor the dead, until tbe casket bad been carried and placed outside tbe chancel.

The great audience stood while the impi essive scene was enacted. After the bier came the widow, leaning on the arm of her brother, Mr. S. W. Morgan, followed by the other relatives, all in aeep mourning.

When tho casket had been placed in front of the cbancel rail, the choir sang the anthem, Lord, Let Me Know My End." The lesson for the dead was then tead by the Kev. Dr. Jenekes. This was followed by the singing of the byrun, Lead, Heavenly Light," by the choir, the audience lointng. THE FUNERAL ORATION.

The Rev. Dr. Jenekes delivered the address, in the course of which ne said: This Is a momentous occasion and a thrilling scene. We who are gathered here around the loved remains of him who lies betore us in the quiet, sublime dignity of what we call dentil are not all who share the interest and the bereavement. A surging muss of living, sympathiz.ng humanity pucks to repletion ilie adjacent streets.

A Nil Lion turns its tearlui eyes towarj our city and counts the fleeting timj by heart-throbs while it reads the clickiiigs oi the liglitnicg to learn the successive stages of our last solemn tribute which the living can ever pay to the greatness and the virtues and tho memory of the dead: and beyond us, above us. if we could only vrith the eye of tlesh penetrate the veil, there Is a still vaster assemblage ot "annels and archangels and all the company of heaven who to look into the mystery of human redemption and rejoice over the triumph of a redeemed soul. His youth has a prolific lesson for the youth of our land We are udvised that as a young man, while occupied with the lubors of character-building, he was an honest, brave, exemplary young man, who scorned to do a mean or unworthy action who recognized the restraining influences of moral obligations and by both precept and example Inculcated honesty and probity and purity ot life. Then in maturer years we have ths sturdy, hearty man. with a strong mind and a warm heart In a sound body, essaying an active, earnest, prominent part In the atliurs of bis Mate and country.

As the second officer in the Administration of this great he was everywhere and uiways the same able, conservative, consistent, and conscientious character which he early illustrated when first he started out upon life's arena of trial and conflict and of triumph, and sowed the precious seed of honor, vlrt-ie. and temperance. He carefully chose his seed und he hus abundantly reaped his harvest. No one who appealed to him for sympathy, and counsel, und assistance ever turned away empty. Though his rinbt and his left hands were uot in each other's confidence, still there is a record soiiiewiice of his open-handed liberality In numberless casei ot destitution and sutlering.

He experienced in his dully life the Joy of faith, and me patience of hope, and the comlort of love. These were with him ever: Kalth, hope, nnd charity these three, but tlia greatest ol these was charity. And the admirably-organized charities of our city have long ielt the guidum impulse of his skillful hand una been cheered by the sympathetic throb-btnus of his generous heart. liare we tread upon the verge of hallowed ground and touch upon the conjugal relations of Gov. Hendricks and describe how lor lorty years and two months he passed along with dignified, steady, and faithful pace beside the noble aud devoted woman whom he had chosen for better or for worse; and how, through storm and sunshine, like Isaac and Kebeccu.

THE CLOSE. When tbe speaker had concluded, Mrs. Doner of Chicago sang Kock of Ages," the Bishop closing with prayers and benediction. The casket was then lilted and borne from the church, the audience remaining seated.

The bells of all the city churches began their tolling when the remains were taken from the house and continued tneir pealing during the continuation of the church rites and while the procession was on its long march to Crown Hnl Ceiietery. There was very l.ttle delay in the movement of the great co.umn when once the distinguished people who had composed the church audience had been assigned the carriages. Its formation had been completed during the progress of services in tbe cathedral. Tho column took up its line ol march at 12:48 o'clock p. but its progress was retarded in the business district, owing to tbs blockading crowds, wnich far outnumbered the moving column.

It proceeded slowly through the great masses of people on Washington street, the military attempting to march with company lrout being repeatedly compelled to break into columns or lours and move uie flank. The carriages were driven three abreast. Tbe movement was slow, the progress at times being almost iinporceptible, until the column emerged upon Merid an street, a broad and very handsome avenue leading to the entrance to the beautiful Crown Hill Cemetery. Tbe cortege moved on by tbe handsome homes or the wealthy, whose windows and sidewalks were fibed with great throngs. The broad thoroughlare stretched out into the country beyond the limits of 'be city, and when tbe bead of tho column came within sight of the RAILROAD MAT1ERS.

This State is now practically without a Government, and ail business connected with the Slate Executive Is at a standstill. The revolutionists have gained a decided victory, and tfce movement is becoming popular among the people, although the commander of the Federal troops at this city. Gen.

Keys, is severely censured for his refusing to send Federal troops to the assistance of Gov. Sepulveaa. A report is current that be will be superseded i by Gen. Mier, who is daily expected rom Zacatecas. Official uews from the City of i Mexico cannot be obtained, as there is no one in authority here to receive it with the exception of Gen.

Keys, and he refuses to make any statement or give any reason for refusing to render aid to the Governor. IS IT FOSTERED AT THE CAPITAL? LOGAN THE FAVOKIT. ST. Paul, Dec. 1.

Special. Gov. Hubbard today, referring to the flection or' a President of the Senate to become tbe acting Vice-Presiaent of the United States, "I should think it sfSeiy that Senator Logan would be elected. My reasou lor thinking so is that bis term as Senator will continue during tbe present Administration. I understand that the term of Senator Edmunds wiil expire in 18S7, while the same thing might be said or Senator Sherman.

The fact that Senator Logan was our candidate for tbe Vice-Presidency would be a consideration more or less strong wiih the Kepublican Senators. The strongest point, however, is the fact that Senator Logan's term will continue dur.ng the present Administration." Washington, D. Dec. 1. A prominent Southern Kepublican here said today, speaking of the question of tne Presidency of the Senate: I think It will tall between Logan and Sherman.

I am a Sherman man, but 1 think I should prefer to see Geu. Logan get It." How about Senator Edmunds?" He will not have it. 1 am told on undoubted authority that he has said that be would not have it." Why do you favor Gen. Logan's election then if you are a Sherman man?" Because it will be better lor Sherman not to have It. If he were selected fnr the place every Logan man in the country would bedead set aga.nst him, for Login's friends want him to have it." Tbe Xational Republican says: The election of Gen.

Logan to the Presidency of the Senate is looked upon favorably by all, and it is said the President would rather see Senator Logan In the chair than any other Republican Senator, as a Democrat can't be elected. Senator Cockrell, in speaking of the matter, said yesterday that Gen. Logan might be elected and sworn in afterward, as was done in the Ferry case. There was nothing in the statutes, he said, to prohibit the Senate from choosing whomever it wanted for President pro whether he be a Senator or not, Atlanta, Dec. 1.

Special. The succession to the Vice-Presidency does not receive much attention here. Capt. Evan P. Howell, editor-in-ehiei of tbe Constitution, said: The office ought to be tilled by a man In harmony with the political party which was successful at the ballot-box.

Since there is no hope tor that, however, the next best thing would be the election of Edmunds. He Is regarded as conservative, benest, and acceptable to all with whom he comes In contact. The election of John A. Logan would mean a revival of the element defeated at the polls one year ago. The election of John Sherman would portend bloody-shirt legis.ation.

Col. John E. Bryant, ex-United States Marshal of Georg-ia, said: I think that as the Republicans control the Senate tbey should elect a man who will truly represent the sentiment of that party. As Mr. Logan was the unanimous nominee of the last Republican Convention the benate should elect him President pro tempore.

His attitude toward tne Presideut would be lair and honorable, and he would not iu any way seek to embarrass the Administration. New York, Dec. 1. Special. The World presents tbe ews of the Governors of various States on the question of tne Vice-Presidency.

Gov. Pingree of Vermont said that Senator Edmunds seemed to be the proper man. ihere should be a conservative man selected. Actmg-Gov. Laugbton ot Nevada said: "In my opinion, John A.

Logan would be the proper man to elect as Vice-President." Gov. Alger of Michigan said his choice was John A. Logan. Gov. Hill of New York would give no opinion.

He "had not thought the matter over." Gov. Perry of Florida favored Logan, while Gov. Moody of Oregon had no choice between Logan, Edmunds, and Sherman. Gov. Scales of Nortn Carolina thought a Democrat shouid be elected.

Gov. Harrison of Connecticut believed nothing should be done by the Senate to prevent tbe Administration from carrying out its policy. Gov. Stoneman of California says: "If we cannot have a Democrat lor Acting Vice-Presideut the country will be sate if Mr. Edmunds shall have been elected." however, prefers to act according to the advice of the British Government, and to negotia-ate with Pnne Alexander.

THE CZAR THANKS THE BULGARIANS. St. Petersburg, Dec. 1. The following is tbe substance of an imperial order published today: Although deeply affected at the fratricidal war between Bulgaria and Servia, the Ciar considers the determination, seil-atmegaUon, perseverance, and love of order displayed by the Bulgarlan-Rou-mellan troops during the conflict are worthy of hiirh praise.

At the time of the retirement of Postmaster Palmer two applications were made to the latter's successor tor the place, but Mr. Judd decided to let well enough alone. Mr.

Meyer was 19 years of age and a prominent Mason, and bis lunerai will likely occur Ft iday under the direction of tbo Germania Lodge. FRANCIS N. BANGS. New York. Dec.

1 Special. Francis N. the noted lawyer, died at Ocala, last night. He bad been in ill-bealtb since July 27. and Nov.

II he sailed lor Florida in tne hope that a change would be beneficial. Mr. Bangs was born in New York about sixty years ago, and came of a sturdy stock. His first great law case was in the settlement of the complications growing out of the failure of Morris Ketch um Sons in This gave Mr. Bangs a great reputation, and after 18C7 he became prominent in bankruptcy cases.

He was also very active in the proceedings against Judges Barnard, Cardozo. and McCann. He was associated with the late President Garfield in the suit betore tte United States bupren-e Court resulting In IfcSO in the foreclosure of the mortgage of the Mobile Ohio Railroad Company. The more recent cases In which Mr. Bangs was prominent were the Canada cases, tbe cages against C.

Of late years bis firm has become known as a railroad law firm. He was one ot the originators of the Cnlon Leugue Club and of the Bar Association, and was the President of the latter during and PSYCHICAL RESEARCH. THE SOCIETY MEETS IN REGULAR MONTHLY SESSION TLLL1NG GHOST STORIES.

The Western Society for Psychical Research held its monthly meeting at the fcfherman House last night. President A. Reeves Jackson in the chair. Lyman Gage and Orville Peck-bam were elected Auditors. Remarks were made by Dr.

Jackson and D. H. Lamberson relating experience in tual phenomena. Prof. Rodney Welch told bow be bad been obliged when teaching school in Kentucky to remove two girls from the school because they bad beard spirit-rappings and held seances bf themselves, and he did not want tbe school to lose its reputation.

He added that tne negroes in tbe South, before the War, bad long been familiar with spirit-rappings. They called tbem death-raps, and negroes wou frequently travel fifteen miles to consult those who beard the rappmgs about important affairs. A. D. Hager gave an account or bow he tried to "cast out devils." He said he had cured some children wdo had pretended to be mediums by compelling them to try tbe experiment in prebence, when they failed to elicit any raps.

He said be was finally convinced of the truth of mmortaiity by receiving communlcaDons from deceased wife. CoL F. W. Parker told a very amusing story of his Investigations of Spiritualism when a lad of 13. He descr.bed how and his cousin be a stance one night and called for tbe spirit or a kitten they bad drowned some time before.

And now. ladies and gentlemen," said he, "I cons dered atruibiul young man generally, and have a reputation to uphold. So 1 am rather timid about teilmg this story. It was a long time sincii, and I may have forgotten it, but I think we at this time distinctly heard a scratching under the table, as if a cat was under it." Another time, he sail, tbey conjured up Beelzebub, who manifested his presence pulling the table away from tbe two lads with a strength they could not resist. Still another time they cslle up tbe spirit of a cow that had recently died their stable, and the cow rapped in reply.

"Do you ever take food?" they asked. Three raps gave an affi mative answer. They placed some lood under the table. There was a rustling of the curtain, and afierawhile tne food disappeared. Dr.

Parker took out a cake of chewing tobacco, took a te out or it, and placed it under tbe table. This was probably removed by Beelzebub, for it cannot be presumed that the cow ate it, and it certainly disappeared- A number or similar stories we told, and these "psvehical researches amused the audience vastlv. The next meeting will be ca.ied for Jan. 6. IN OTHER CITIES.

The revolution which has been threatened for the last several weeks burst forth today with a vehemence that will carry terror to the hearts of those against wbom its vengeance is directed. To the casual observer tbe troub would appear to be that the people of the State are dissatisfied with the State Government and are endeavoring to overthrow it. The State officials, however, deny this, and openly charge the Federal olficials with secretly fomenting the insurrection for tne purpose of creating an opportunity for Federal interference, which would result in martial law being proclaimed and the appointment by the President of a military Governor. This plan was successfully carried out in the adjoining State of Coabuiia last year, and will no doubt be equally as successful in Nuevo Leon this year.

I visited Jesse D. Bright, then the leader of the Indiana Democracy, at Madison, who told me everything was all right, the organization sat.s-factory, and that the vote of Indiana would be cast for Cass. But, said he, 'if you are anxious to work up some meetings, go and see a young lawn-r in Sheibyvilie named Thomas A. Hendricks. I did so, and found Mr.

Hendricks willing to go on a 6tumping tour. We had a series of successful meetings, and Henuricks developed remarks be ability on the stump. I think that was his first experience in that line.
