The procession here to-day In honor of the obsequies of Gen. Grant wa3 very large and imposing, and was witnessed by such multitudes of people that the business streets of the city were practically impassable from before 10 until afternoon.

Busine33 is entirely suspended, and so general seemed the respect for the memory of the general that very few people, even among the laboring classes, took advantage of the holiday to visit the parks or enjoy any kind of excursions. A heavy shower, lasting half an hour during the parade, was the only circumstance that occurred to mar the success of the observance, and that had a very small effect on the order of march. Reports are being received indicating that throughout the west and northwest, in the principal towns and cities, programmes similar to the one here were carried out Business everywhere seemed to have been abandoned for the entire day. GEN. BUTLER'S TRIBUTE. Lowell, Mass., Aug. 8. Memorial services were held here to-day. The eulogy was pro nounced by Gen. B. F. Butler. He began with the ouotation. "We come to bury Caj3ar, not to praise him," and proceeded to say there was no need to praise a soldier who performed with fidelity, unflinching courage and determination, every measure of success, every duty imposed on him, with patriotism never doubted. He proceeded to sketch the wars of this country, and how their leading generals had been hon ored by the presidency of the United States. He denied that Grant harbored a thought of so called "Csesarism." He referred to the charges against his second administration as groundless, and warmly vouched for his sterling integrity and honor throughout his financial troubles in Wall street, and closed with an estimate of him as a soldier, 6tating the plan which he formu lated for putting down the rebellion. This plan, Gen. Butler said, Gen. Grant communica ted to him. It was continually to attack tho opposing forces. Ho expected to lose more men than the other side, but tho North could afford to do so, and he believed that in the end this course would cost less blood and treasure than a less relentless one. This Gen. Butler characterized as military genius. REMARKS FROM THE PULPITS. New York. Aus. 9.

Theodore C. hears, orator, Bishop Pad dock, Rev. J. A. Banfield, Mrs. Louise H. Smith, Prof. Robb, Hon. Elwood Evans and many other distinguished citizens. Music for the occasion was furnished by a select choir and the Tacoma orchestra, and was very appropri ate and well rendered. The exercises were opened by prayer offered by Bishop Paddock. In a short address Gen. Sprague reminded the audience of the solemnity of the occasion, the sorrow of this and all civilized nations over the death of our famous general and ex-president, and the propriety of all communities uniting in doing honor to his memory. Mrs. Smith re cited in a wonderfully clear and strong voice a poem, "Our boys who died for our country." Mr. Sears was then introduced and delivered the funeral oration. Reviewing briefly the circum stances of Gen. Grant's last sickness and death, the speaker set forth at length the events which called forth the abilities peculiar to the hero; the lowly sphere in which his early life was spent; the modesty and earnestness with which he began his career in the rebellion; the success which he won, despite the opposition of asso ciates and the bitter criticism that followed his first efforts; his great ability as a commander and strategist; nis brilliant campaign, which terminated the war; the reasons for his election as president; and closed with an eloquent tribute of praise for the personal integrity and virtue of the man in all spheres. Mr. Sears having been a personal friend of the general, (he was one of the famous 306 who stood by the name of Grant in the memorable convention of 1SS0) spoke with much feeling and great earn estness. His address, though over an hour long, was listened to with close attention by the large audience who were crowded on the un comfortable seats in the pavilion, and contained much interesting and instructive thought The exercises closed with a benediction by Rev. J. A. Banfield and music by the band. A nt.mfcer of people from the surrounding country and neighboring towns were in attend ance upon the exercises. The places of business were closed during the afternoon and public buildings were appropriately draped. DUST TO DUST. Earth to earth and dust to dust!

Circular to Stockholders of Northern Pacific. the THE FIRE AT LAS VEGAS SPRINGS- Death cf ta Aged Judge and Hasoa Ths Sir Charle3 Dilke Ecardal ia leadoa A Young Girl Spirited Away, Etc San Francisco, Aug. 9. Circulars have been issued to .holders of Northern Pacific stock, which state: "For the past year the subject of leasing the Oregon Railway & Navigation com pany's railroads and steamboats has been more or less agitated. No final action ha3 yet been taken by the Northern Pacific board, but persis tent efforts are being made by many to have the Northern Pacific Railroad company lease the Oregon Railway & Navigation system for a long period of years. This" system embraces a large amount invested in steamship bottoms, therefore there is some doubts in the minds of many of us of our being able to manage suc cessfully our uregon nanway jc navigation en terprise on the present terms proposed. Should the scheme progress toward consummation of the lease it will doubtless be necessary to bring the subject before the stockholders for confir mation. You will understand that there will not only be a large amount of fixed charges to be paid, in the event of the lease, on the Interest-bearing debt of the Oregon Railway & Navigation company, but a further large sum would have to be paid on some 823,000,000 of the stock of the Oregon Railway & Navigation company. The present terms pro posed are 5 per cent for three years and 6 per cent thereafter- That is the amount to be paid on the stock, and the bonds of the Oregon Rail way & Navigation company will take prece dence of not only the common but also of the preferred stocks, thus making both the com mon and preferred stocks secondary to the pay ment of interest on tho Oregon Railway & Nav igation company's stock and bonds." CALIFORNIA INSURED TO THE REPUBLICANS. San Francisco, Aug. 9. As far as San Fran cisco is concerned politically, the postmaster general has done considerably more than he is accredited with. He has virtually changed the whole plan of the next political campaign In California by dashing the hopes of democratic uuuucuuiB uuu msiuriuK uie repuuuean leauers with confidence of their ability to carry the state, almost without a struggle. Every move of the new government in California so far has encouraged the republicans, and the action of the postmaster-general in threatening a further loss of trade to the city at a period of unusual dullness appears to politicians to be the capping of the climax. Shrewd political workers are now studying what the effect of this republican confidence is likely to be, with a view to trim ming their sails accordingly. A DENIAL. San Francisco, Aug. 9. The reported nego tiations between the Union Pacific and the Mil waukee & St Paul, for the sale of the latter lino to Council Bluffs, for 25,000,000, are reported to be without foundation in fact, on the ground that "however much the Union Pacific might desire the road. Its present financial straits are too pronounced for it to be able to raise the sum mentioned 23,000,000 for that purpose. But even admitting that it could, there is no contingency that would, persuade the St Paul to part with ode of her most profitable line3 and isolate itself in the Northwest" to-day's weather.

Walter Pulsifer, of this place, was burned to death yesterday while at work on the farm of W. P. Pitts, near Claquato. He was burning a slashing and was caught in the flames, and being a man of about 60 years of age was too feeble to make his escape. TBE LAS VEGAS FIBE. The Flno Hotel at the SprI M strojed tfo TdYt cs Completely Do Lost. v Las Vegas, N. M., Aug. 9. The fire at the Montezuma hotel, at the hot springs, last night, originated about 1130 in the lobby of the fourth floor, at an attic near the stairway leading to the top of the grand tower. An alarm was sounded in the office, and the guests were im mediately warned of danger by sounding elec tric gongs in all apartments of thenouse. There were about seventy-five rooms occupied by guests, and as the fire started far above the occupied rooms everybody escaped, and nearly an the personal enecis oi tne guests were saved. Immediately after the general alarm had been sounded, the chief clerk and thirty others of the honse rushed to the fourth floor and unreeled fire hose attached to various hydrants. Some delay was occasioned by inexperienced hands in laying lines, and in most instances the hose was too short to reach the flames. Within a very few minutes flames had burst through the roof in several places, and all hopes of saving the magnificent building were abandoned. The volunteer department at Las Vegas, six miles distant, was called by telephone. A special train took hose company No. 1 put in thirteen minutes, and another train brought No. 2 company later, and some eight or ten lines were soon to work. The pressure was low, and the streams barely reached the roof, where the flames by this time were raging. For four hours the fire gradually worked its way to the ground floor, making a complete loss of the house. The furniture on tho ground floor only was saved. The houseless guests were compelled to im provise lodgings on the ground, and went into camp for the night, while tho firemen worked with relief forces until long after daylight The stone walls of the third story were saved from utter destruction, and remain standing, and may possibly be utilized in rebuilding. The loss is 800,000; insurance 250,000, distributed among a large number of companies. The or igin of the fire is attributed to wires of the elec tric lighting system becoming overheated and igniting the wood work. It ia believed the company will rebuild. EASTER? BEWS ITEMS. THE COTTON CROP SAFE. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 9. During the past ten days reports of the appearance of caterpillars have come from various sections of the south, with such frequency as to justify a fear that the finest cotton crop ever known was endangered. Li order to ascertain precisely the extent of this danger, the Constitution addressed inquiries to its correspondents for information. To sum marize, it may be said that the crop, as a whole, is the best that has been known for years; that the yield will largely exceed any previous crop; that while in some localities the caterpillar has appeared, as a general thing it is too late to do serious injury. a lamentable accident.

To the Editor of The Oregonian: Will you permit me to say that mine was a requotation of what you had quoted from the article a day or two later. From circumstances I missed the article in question, which I regret I entirely agree with you, there is something, as Dr. Cuyler hath it, "deeper down than prohibi tion," and that something is what all temper ance reformers aim to work up the gospel, the moral and the educational sides. But having done that through many decades of years, they have learnt that that must go hand in hand with far more restrictive measures than they have so far been able to bring about I believe the grace of God has power to keep John Gougli and all like him who seek it, from the dominion of strong drink. But aa no human power can donate that gift, the love of humanity must use the power that it can wield by law, keep the drink traffic from flaunting before the eyes of our innocent children and the grown-up ones of weakly physique. It is this weak spot in the present generation that calls for stringent meas ures. Our sires have been called "two, three or four-bottlo men," according to the quantity they could drink at a sitting with impunity. But they bequeathed impaired constitutions to their sons, who on taking a tenth part stand in jeop ardy of becoming victims to one or the other terriblealcoholicdiseases, with their accompany ing more terrible cravings for the liquor. From all of these their forefathers were comparatively free. Surely no law maker could be found who would repeal the law relating to the Indian, be cause he has not moral or physical stamina to keep sober without it! I am here re minded of the words Eahme, a Bechnana chief, spoke(a month or two agolto the English general at the big meeting of the Ba-Mangwhato, where there were 2000 natives squatting close togeth er: "We don't want the queen to introduce strong drinks into our country; they will de stroy our friendship; for the white man's drink is fire, and leads to law-breakiner. and we do not wish it allowed in our country, where it has long been prohibited by our chief with our hearty concurrence." The 19th century has proved that his white brother needs a prohibitory law nearly as much. Surely the legislator would better give him one, not troubling himself as to the heroic develop ment of moral character. There will be myri ads of other temptations (not so disastrous to the nation at large) on which he canlryhia moral power of resistance. If Adam and Eve could not resist with their perfect natures, woe be it to us to liken ourselves to the great Law giver, when we legislate for a hnman nature all crumpled with the distortions of ages, worn out with perverted work, disregarded instincts, and innumerable diseases bred thereby. We don't, as parents, put temptations in the way of our children; we gaard them from them with a jealous shield, and we teach them the prayer of Christ's dispensation, "Lead us not into temptation." L. A. NASH. The Old Complaint Boston Evening Record. Dr. Newman finds much to say in theso days about Gen. Grant His latest remark Is about the size of the general's head, and he adds, "It is rather remarkable that all his sons have large heads," That had been observed before. GERMANY'S PUTUEE KULER, TTnser Frits Ha&ea a Speech to his Fatnre Subjects. Ha will Travel oe the Eaaa Line as His Pathir. and Maintain a United Geraaay Bis Family Life. Berlin Cor. N. Y. World. Since the recent indisposition of the emperor, which has shown tho weakness incident to the weight of his eighty-eight years, the attention of the people of Germany has been more than ever centered on their future ruler, the princa imperial, Frederick William. A few day3 ago the prince visited Koenigsberg to attend the celebration of the First regiment of the Grenadiers, of which he is colonel, and was received with Imperial honors. In answer to the address of welcome by the principal of the university the same in which Kant laid the foundations for his system of philosophy his royal highness delivered a speech which has been widely commented upon by tho European press. It was characterized by an intense spirit of nationalism and brought out in salient con trast the difference between the past, when Ger many was only a mere geographical idea, and the present when all the German people, con scious of the greatness and importance of tho empire, look with legitimate pride on the great deeds achieved under the glorious rule of the present emperor. The prince warned his hear ers against the introduction of foroign ideas and gave them to understand that the future policy of the empire would continue on the same line as that of its recent glorious past A POPULAR PRKCE. The prince, always popular, was never moro so than at present When the Berlinera see him at the head of his staff they swell with patriotic pride and call him by the sobrique't of the god o Mars. He Is regarded aa the finest looking sol dier in the empire, the perfection of the mili tary type in physique and soldierly bearlnsr. He is colonel of the Second regiment of Sileslau grenadiers, of the Fifty-third regiment of West phalian infantry, of the One Hundred and Four teenth regiment of Baden infantry, and of tho Eighth Silesian dragoons. Among his decora tions are those of the Black Eagle, the Annon- ciaue, tne uoioen meece and the cross of St. Andrew, which replaces all the chivalrous or ders of Russia. He is likewise decorated with, the Russian Order of St George, which is con ferred only on the battle-field. He is the bearer of seventy-one grand crosses, among which are those of the Red Eagle, of the Order of the Crown and of the French Legion of Honor. He is president of the commission for the de fense of German territory and inspector general of the army. Strange rumors have been afloat recently in regard to his political sentiments. A. Paris journal has created much comment by representing him as an enemy of tho chancellor and by predicting that, after his advent to the throne he will reverse the present imperial policy. Nothing could be further from the truth. His speech to tho university students, a few days ago, dispels that suspicion if any such proof were needed. Tho prince highly esteems Bismarck, and could not follow any other policy than this, as he regards it the true policy of Ger many. It may be that the future emperor differs with the chancellor in certain questions ol detail, but he regards the great national lines traced by the latter as the only safe course to follow. Prince Bismarck will be, while he lives, the brain and right arm of the German emperors. Bismarck, on the other hand, has the greatest regard for the crown prince, and sees and consults him frequently on important: questions. Hence the prince plays- a much more important role in the affairs of Europe than is generally known. But he is very respectful toward the authority of the aged emperor, and never brings forward his personal opinions, except when requested to do so. The policy inaugurated by Bismarck regarding France a policy of peace aud expectation ha3 found a warm partisan in the Prince Imperials In that respect he shares the sentiments of tho ar istociacy and of the most enlightened classes of the empire, especially In Berlin. He would be delighted to spend a portion of his time every year in France, as his wife is accustomed to do, but he fears lest his presence might give rise to ill-feeling. It is said that he regards with un feigned satisfaction the cessation of the rehg- Anglo-Russian difficulty he acted the part of pacincaior, urgea, no aouDt, ny his natural spirit of moderation and the influence of his wife, daughter of Queen Victoria. THE PRINCE A FAVORITE OF SOCIETY. Highly popular as is the prince with the army, he is still more so in society, on account of his polished manners and amiable qualities. He is well informed, and is noted for his ready wit and smart repartee. He knows everybody, and in his social capacity makes no distinction of party. He takes pleasure in receiving artists, litterateurs and savants, even those who are in veterately opposed to him in politics, such as Drs. Virchow and Mommsen. His wife, Crown Princess Victoria, is a highly cultured lady.tond of the fine arts, especially painting. Leaving to the empress the privilege or rather the monop oly of works of charity and benevolence, she has taken under her own patronage everythins: relating to art, artists and industry. She it i3 who has most largely contributed to the founda tion oi me museum or decorative arts. The in dustrial schools, the literary and artistic soci eties and the works appertaining to them are likewise under her patronage. The future sovereigns of German occupy the kronprinzliche palast, which stands beside tho imperial palace. Larger and more beautiful than the latter, it is filled with the rarest works of art The collection of ancient and modern paintings that it contains is of the finest descrip tion. It is to the princess that the best of them specimens are owing. In this adornment of the palace Bhe is seconded by her first chamberlalrr, Count Seckendorf, who is also an artist and a connoisseur. He is atpresontin Paris visiting the Salon in order to purchase some of the finest: pictures. Within this magnificent palace Prince Frederick William and his family lead a simple and model life. The prince and princess take great delight in superintending the intellectual and moral education of their children. They have six children living. Prince William, the eldest, is married to a daughter of the late Duke of Schleswig-Holstein, and is commander of the First infantry regiment of the Guards. He is very popular, and Is regarded as giving promise of a brilliant military future. He has four chil dren. Hence there are four German emperors in Berlin to-day, if the three crown princes live to ascend the throne. The eldest daughter of the prince imperial Is married to the heir apparent, Prince of Saxe-Meiningen, of the imperial staff. The youngest son is in the navy, lieutenant of a man-of-war attached to the port of Kiel. He ha9 recently mado a long voy age in the South seas. The three younger daughters of the crown prince are: Princess Victoria, 19; Princess Sophia, 15; and Marga ret, 13 years of age. Unlike the emperor, who delights in the opera and the ballet, the prince and princess go almost every night to the theater. The prince retires to rest at an early hour every night, and is up regularly between 5 and 6 in the morning. He devotes himself with un tiring energy to the multiplied duties ot his po sition. He is fond of travel and often takes a run to England, Russia and Switzerland, thfogbi he prefers Italy to any other country. Every one knows his great friendship toward tha house of Savoy, and his fraternal affection for the beautiful Queen Marguerite. High License ts. Prohibition. New York Evening Post. There is something utterly hopeless aboct the attitude of the rabid prohibitionist The climax has at last been reached in a recent deliverance oi Rev. Dr. Leonard, the prohibition candidate for governor ot Ohio, who takes this monstrous position: "Rather than vote to license the trafEa in Intoxicating drinks, I would vote for a foun tain at every street corner, from which should flow a continuous stream of whisky, free to ev erybody, and furnish tin cups from which all who desired should drink their fill." It is a re lief to turn from the clerical advocacy of such doctrine to the rational ground taken by Rev. Dr. R. M. Hatfield, a leading west ern clergyman and advocate ot temperance. He sees and states the simple fact, so generally lost sight of, that high license is a form of prohi bition, and the only practicable form In large centers of population where traffic in liquor can not be suppressed. A law compelling a saloon-keeper to pay a license tax of 1000 pro hibits every man who can not raise 1000 from keeping a saloon, and the experience ot Illinois, Missouri and other states which have tried high license shows conclusively that the prohibition is so effective as to largely reduce the number of BaloonB, and especially those of the worst sort Dr. Hatfield believes that a stringent li cense law is the only feasible method of re stricting the traffic, and urges friends of tem perance to support this system. The advocacy of high license from Buch a source is an excel lent sign.
