were disappointed, however. The gov
ernor’s communication simply notified
ihe senate that he had appointed Hon.

fixing the compensation of the Monday senate
pages at $2 per day each.
morning a motion was made to recon
sider that resolution in order that the
compensation might be fixed at $1.50
per day. Then a harrying to and fro
began. The little fellows scurried
over the chamber seeing their friends
and urging them to vote down the
motion to reconsider. They
did effective work and whipped
tbe flgbt, the motion to re
consider receiving only two votes. Tbe
boys were happy, and smilingly re
i-eived tbe congratulations of their
friends over theii viotory. A number
of new bills were then presented and
read first time. The following were

was no rain but a thick uiiet overhung
the stre* ts and lhe emblems of mourn

populace were astir before
and all the morning hues of people
converged upon the fortr^s of the ca

where the booming of cannon an¬
nounced the beginning of the funeral
services. The troops which had been
From 8 o’clock until the hour of the
funeral there was a continuous flow of
state carriages couveyiug the high offi
cials who were making haste to take
possession of the places in the cathe

at the entrance to the cathedral, and a
group of clergymeu, headed by the
Metropolftau of St. Petersburg, stood
around the main door awaitmg the
arrival of tbe Emperor Nicholas II
aud the imperial family, who, when
they did arrive, were escorted by the
Metropolitan and his attendants to
plaoes at the foot of the coffin, which
was slightly raised at the head with
tbe foot towards the altar. CIoh© to
the altar was a platform wide enough
.to accommodate most of the principal
mourners. Tbe whole dais was oov

MAGNIFICENT AND SUBLIME.
The religions servioes over the body
of the dead emperor was probably tbe
most magnificent of modern times, in
its external aspect far exceeding in
beauty and grandeur tbe memorable
burial servioes of Alexander IL The
music and the performance of the lit¬
urgy were sublime in the extreme.
The surroundings were subdued in
oolor but they were of a quiet charac¬
ter which greatly enhanced the splen¬
dor of the whole scene.
The cream of loyalty and nobility of
the empire assisted at tbe servioe and
tbe princes of the blood, prelates of
the orthodox church, noblemen, rep¬
resentatives of foreign sovereigns aud
princes, foreign diplomats and other
distinguiched personages joined in tbe
devotions and pleadings to heaven for
the repose of the soul of the dead.
THE CZAR KISSES THE COLD LIPS.
At the conclusion of tbe religious
ceremouies. the ozar stepped
to the coffin, kissed the lips of the dead
emperor, the other members of the
imperial family and tho*e bound by
ties of blbod marriage t " ’
