Washington, December 31.—The sleet atorm of last night which thickly enamel ed the pavement gave place this morning to a heavy fog, almost n rain fall. The two inches of thawing snow and ice which cov ered the g ound made marching and all out door exercise a thing to bo dreaded. g owever, great crowds made their way om the early morning towards the copf- %Ql to view the remains of the dead states man, and the time of lying in state was too tort to give an opport unity for all to pass y. At 11 o’clock the doors were closed to Be general public, and while two ranks of rand army men filed on eit her side of the , Bier the undertaker screwed on the lid of the casket. A delegation of friends from Chicago arrived in a few minutes and the casket whs re-opened to enable them to take a last look at the body. At 12:10 the pall bearers took their places and conveyed the casket to the senate chamber. The hall of the senate was fully though not elaborately draped, and tho chair of the dead senator, second ot the innermost row from the centre aisle, was covered with crepe. The clerk’s desk was almost hidden in the bank of floral em blems, FLANKED ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT respectively, by a huge anchor of white and an immense representation of the badge of the Fifteenth army corps. Two or three hundred additional chairs had been arranged in rows for tho accomoda tion of those who had been invited to do honor to the deceased. The senators came in singly or in pairs and took the seats assigned them on the left of the presiding officer’s desk, leaving the three front rows vacant. At a quarter before 12 o’clock, clad in their silken robes of office, then entered without formal an nouncement Chief .Justice Waite and Associate Justices Bradley, Gray, Field and Mathews, together with the officers of the supreme court, and took the seats as signed them to the right of the presiding officer’s desk. Beyond them came the and draped in black. Tho Grand Army posts and all uniformed delegations, to gether with six carriages containing the mourners, clergy and pall bearers pre ceded t he hearse. This was drawn by four spirited black horses, covered almost en tirely with sombre trappings and cloths, and moved in the center of a hollow square formed by the Grand Army escort. A long double line of carriages closed tho procession. THE LINE OF MARCH from the eapitol grounds lay through Pennsylvania avenue, Fifteenth street, Vermont and Khodo Island avenues and Seventh street. The broad streets were kept clear of the crowds by the police, but tho sidewalks throughout the populous parts of the route were thronged despite the ter ribly inclement weather. When the limit of the asphalt paved streets were passed the muddy, slush-covered roads proved to be almost impassable for pedestrians, and many of those who started dropped out of line and returned. ROCK CREEK CEMETERY, in which the body of the deceased senator will temporarily repose, adjoins tho Sol diers’ Home grounds and is the oldest burial grounds in tho district, having been bo used since 1719. A num ber of magnificent forest trees shade the place, surrounding the ancient Rock Creek church. At 3:10 o’clock the large bell at the cemetery began to toll, ana the head of the procession passed slowly through the entrance to the accom paniment of a funeral air from the artillery band. Gen. Sheridan, accompanied by his orderlies in advance, took up position at the tomb where he was joined by General Ordway and staiF. The procession wound slowly along beneath the dark evergreen arches, and the artillery formed a line in front of the tomb until the first of the car riages came up. They then formed in fours, and followed by tho military contingent took up their position in the road to the north of the tomb. The Dali bearers alighted and took their places on the foot walk while the hearse slowly turned the road at tho foot of the hill. The Marine band, posted opposite the tomb, began to play “Nearer, my God, to Thee.” With little delay the casket was removed and placed on a bier at the entrance to the vault. By this time the occupants of the car riages had alighted and remained standing on the foot walk. The carriage containing the Immediate members of the dead sena tor’s family drove up and took position di rectly in front of the tomb. John A.

T.io chair assigned him was k f: vacant. The galleries wore thoroughly .tiled,though thanks to the admirable police arrangements planned by the sergeant-at-arms and carried out by his deputies and assistants, there was no crowding and nothing occurred to mar the proceedings. The seats reserved for the family of the presi dent were occupied by Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Folsom, Mrs. Vilas, Mrs. Maiming and Mrs. Lamont. At 12 o’clock a hush fell over the assemblage and us the proecs- scene' was a very nnpres- Surrounding the casket stood the members of the cabinet, senators and rep resentatives, army officers of high rank and gray haired veterans of the wur with uncovered heads, while in a low but dis tinct voice the chaplain read a simple but solemn service.

They wore sashes of black, with shoulder knots of black and white ribbons. They formed in two lines as they came within the bar between which passed the pall bearers of the grand army, the men bearing the casket. The congressional committee wore wide sashes of white. The honorary pall bearers and the committee were conducted to seats on the left centre. Gen. Sherman and Speaker Carlisle occupied chairs at the president’s desk, and the clergy were at the desks of the secretaries. The solemn services were begun by reading the SOth Psalm by Bishop Andrews. Dr. Butler read as the burial service a portion of the fifteenth chapter of Corinthians. A prayer was offered by Dr. Tiffany, and the funeral sermon was deliv ered by Dr. Newman.

A disagreeable drizzle has fallen all day and the pavements arc begrimmed with mud, making walking almost as perilous and falls much more unpleasant than during the recent sleet.

Washington, December 29.—John A. Logan’s death gives full swing to a discus sion of the republican political situation. Thero is much diversity of opinion at present as to what its effect will lie, but all agree that it will bo considerable nnd conclusive us to the fortunes of one or more great, men now on tlio carpet. Logan was no ordinary political quantity, nnd might have held tlio balance of power nexl year in his own party. His removal from the scene will cause new alignments, new plans and now calculations, lie was distinctly the candidate of the soldier ele ment. and t hat element will have to'seck a new favorite. Perhaps they will not have far to go. Gresham was next-door neigh bor to Logan, and Gresham was not only a soldier, but he left a leg on the field of battle. AS TO MR. BLAINE, he will not he u gainer by Logan’s death. With both Sherman and Logan before tho convention the west would have been hopelessly divided. Halstead would have so nourished antagonism that the possibili ty of compromise would have been pre cluded, and nt some epoch in the conven tion Logan or Sherman would have tossed the bone to Blaine, tiie only eastern candi date worth the incut ion. It was a knowledge of this fact that caused the Plumed Knight to make preparations to lug his magnetism and his audacity over to Ireland on an elec tioneering expedition. Should he con clude to carry it out, however, it is to be Hoped that Minister Phelps will forget Edmunds and Bayard long enough to in troduce Blaine at the queen’s drawing room, and let her majesty see just what sort of an animal a live British lion tail- tv.ister is. But if Blaine knows upon which side of his broad I he oleomargarine is spr :ul he will stuv nt home and make a deal with Charley Foster, a tiling he did in 1880 and again in 13? I. SI IE KM AN. Sherman will not gain by Logan's death. In 1 Ii esc days of knights of 1 ihor his record is certain of scrutiny, lie claims to be. a great financier, and the only man in this broad land who can hold up the United Status treasury by the tail and give a cor rect diagnosis of its mumps, measles and whooping coughs.' A great, financier 1 certainly is, for he accumulated a colors: fortune upon ^ftft(H) evil edicts of this needless piling up of money in the treasury. But when next year comes, and when we. have no bond payments to make, then the people will very soon be trade to feel the burden, and congress will he called upon to act at once. Under the pressure of a possible financial stringency the discordant ele ments in congress will bo forced to har monize.” “Do you think much, if anything, will be done beside the passage of the appro priation bills ?” “Not much. The house will undoubtedly ratify the interstate commerce proposition nsjsoon as it reaches it, if it passes the sen ate. Tiie house will make short work ofit. Thero may be a few days’ debate, but the sentiment of the house is overw helmingly in favor of establishing the principle of governmental regulation of the railroad traffic. They will take this bill as the best that can at present bo obtained as n recog nition of this principle and will try for something better next time.” “Do yon think the Pacific railroad fund ing bill will have any chance this winter?” “No, I do not.” “But it is a special order and it is pend ing in the house.” “I know it is a special order, hut thero are so many other orders ahead of it that I do not believe it can be reached. The agricultural committee at present has con trol of most of the house time for the bal ance of the session. It has obtained a very extraordinary order providing that thi* committee shall bo recognized in prefer ence to nil others, except those covering appropriations or revenue measures Propositions from the ways and means committee or from the various committees having charge of appropriation hills alone can crowd it back. This special order holds good until all of the business reported by this committee has been passed upon. It has already reported the pleuro-pueumo- nia bill, the bill to make the department of agriculture the equal of the other de partments in the cabinet, nnd one other proposition of a general nature. Unless this committee yields it has business enough to occupy all the spare time of the session.” » SOUTH CAROLINA.

December 31.— 1 The News and Courier will publish to-morrow an elaborate review of the agricultural and industrial development of South Carolina during the past year. In an editorial anal ysis it says: In manufactures the results are magic il and marvelous. The number of manufacturing establishments in the state has increased from 12.20 in 1800, to 3242 iu 1830. The capital has increased from • .*0,031,956 to £21,'>27,070. The number ol 1 i hands employed is 03,378 iu 1880 against ir for ten yearsnmd i uuol in 1800, nnd SI Hi in 1870.

The cotton mills f tin* ways I give employment now to 1880 persons, house when | ft is estimated that the value of agricul tural and garden productions for 1886 was £11,100,501, and the value of coin alone was nearly half the value of the cotton crop.

[rTsh potatoes lead the list with a value of £88 per acre as against £12 for cotton, out* eVen in these figures there is solid ground for the doctrine which tiie Newt and Courier advanced many years ago, viz: That in no place in the world is tiie gross product of the soil as large in proportion to the market value of land as m Soulh Carolina. Laud which will pro* duet. £12 worth of cotton to the acre can be bought i/i youth Carolina for from $5 to if12 per acre. This beats wheat farming iu t he west, or gold mining for that matter. The total value of farm products of the state lasf year was $44,109,- 501. This is very nearly as much as the value of farm products iu 18(10. Add to the agricultural products the products in the different branches of manufactures and the products of mines anti quarries, and it is evident that the total income or t he people from the three sources must amount to 50 per cefit. more than the id out by the sheriff I amount in 1800, when the slave system was rtain impertinent | supposed to make the state so prosperous. lie Wind In I'rnnspirii ' On f In* Ol In r W life I’M.
