The Army ap propriation bill, making: provision for the Army, under the reorganization recently enacted, was completed by the House committee on military affairs and report ed bj Chairman Hull. It carries approx imately 5118.000,000, as against estimates cf about J130.009.000 made by "War De partment officials. The total of Army ap propriations, general and deficiency, for last year aggregated J11S.000.000. Chair man Hull says the present bill will be ample, and will not entail a deficiency measure later. The contingency appro priation of $1,006,000 to "meet emergencies constantly arising," was stricken out by the committee. The main items as al lowed are: Pay of officers, $5,003,000: pay of enlisted men. $14,000,000: pay of retired officers. $1,669,000; nurse corps, $130,000. The t tal for subsistence approximates $13, i i oo. of which amount $12,000,000 is for ncular rations, and $680,000 for sick and i ti descent rations. The aggregate for the Quartermaster's I . v irtraent is the largest in the bill, r . hlng $57,190 OM. The chief items arc: v l irtermaeter's supplies, $8,000,000; incl 1 ntal supplies. $2,400,000: horses for cav- "rv and artillery. $790,039; barracks and t.iarters, $2 600.000: transportation of Army and supplies, $34,000,000; clothing, (tr. $,nO,fi0G. Owing to the needs of the Paymaster's Department, the bill -grants authority for the detail of Captains of the line as paymasters while there may be necessity for such details. UNDER THE NEW ARMY LAW 'Nominations of General Ofllccrs "Will Be Sent to the Senate Today. "WASHINGTON. Feb. 4. Secretary Root, said, this afternoon, that the nominations' cT general officers authorized by the new Army law would be sent to the Senate t morrow. The nominations, he said, in c udtd a Lieutenant-General, three Major Ginerals and W Brigadier-Generate. In m .itary circles. It is believed that Gen eral Miles will pe made Lieutenant-General, but there is considerable uncertainty with regard to the other general officers. Generals Wade. Merriam and Toung are the three ranking Brigadiers In the prej- cnt regular establishment, in the order i named, with General MacArthur No. 4 j and General Ludlow No. 5. General Chaf- ' fee stands No. 7 in the list of Colonels . f Cavalry, and General Wood Is No. 6 in the list of Captains at relative rank. All these officers have been mentioned as pos sible Major-Generais. and the three suc cessful ones are undoubtedly among the number. If General Miles Is promoted it nil: leave a vacancy in the list of Major Generals yet to be filled. The order of seniority of the new Major-Generate un 1 uibtedly will determine which of them will have command of the military forces In the Philippines, which command, it is generally understood, will become vacant by the relief of General MacArthur dur ing the coming Summer.

The registration of the Chinese in the Hawaiian Islands for the purpose oflssulng to them certifi cates of residence1 on American soil will begin February 1. District Attorney Baird has expressed the opinion that cer tificates should be secured, as a matter of safety, by all persons who have any Chi nese blood in them. The expression of this opinion has startled many people here, as Honolulu has many citizens of high social ' and financial standing who are thus by I inference stated to have only doubtful ! rights to enter the United States. Under 1 Hawaiian law, nationality was derived J from the mother, and sons of Chinese ' fathers were regarded as of the national ) ity of their other parent. The rule of I American law is just the opposite. The law provides that all Chinese in Hawaii who have not certificates by June 14 will 1 be liable to deportation. As a result of I Balrd's opinion, a number of people who I have never been regarded as Chinese may take the precaution of registering. The report of, the first grand jury on the I Island of Hawaii, at Hilo, has Just been j presented It deals very largely with the conditions of Immorality said to be ex isting In the towns, and calls for vig orous reform. The town is referred to In , the report as "a modern Sodom." and the police and courts are urged to take stern ; measures to Improve the conditions. j Excavators who are at work on a sewer I system for residences at Waikikl have j stumbled upon what is thought to have I been the burial grounds of a battle-field of the latter part of the ISth century. Many skeletons have been unearthed, one of them evidently being that of a native chief. The beads he had worn to mark his rank were twined about his bones, which were almost ready to crumble. Captain C. F. Greene and two natives of the crew of the island trading schooner Moklhana reached Honolulu last Sunday ' morning with a story of a thrilling expe rience at sea for a week previous. Dur ing the whole of the period the vessel had been unmanageable, almost In sight of Oahu all the time, but with provisions ( and water running short, and constant galas rending the craft, the men almost despaired of ever reaching shore again. ' Finally the vessel went ashore on the 1 reef at Waianat. CLOSING THE CANTEENS. General Order Issued by the "War Department. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. The first gen eral order by the War Department in execution of the provisions of the Army reorganization act directs the discontin uance of the sale of beer, wine and Intox icating liquors on all military reserva tions and Army transports. The order was issued today and is very terse and concise In Its terms. After reciting the anti-canteen provision of the law, the order proceeds: "Commanding officers will immediately carry the provisions of this law Into full force and effect and will be held strictly responsible that no exceptions or evasions are permitted within their respective Jur isdictions." Although the order makes no speclalref erence to the military reservations at Fort Monroe, "Va., and West Point, N. Y., it is stated at the War Department that under the terms of the law It will be nec essary to discontinue the sale of all intox icating liquors on these reservations and that the bars in the hotel at Fort Mon roe and in the hotel at West Point will have to be closed at once. JOHN MARSHALL Portland'sTributetothe Great Jurist. BENCH AND BAR JOIN Horace G. Piatt's Eloquent Eulogy, EXERCISES IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS Multnomah Bar Passes Resolutions "Which Were Ordered Spread Upon Conrt Records, Expressive of Appreciation of His "Worth. Portland paid tribute yesterday to John Marshall, soldier, statesman and jurist, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his appointment as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Tho Multnomah. Bar held . exercises in the United States Courtroom, there were addresses in all the schools, and in the afternoon a mass meeting at Cor drays Theater, where Hon. Horace G? Piatt, of San Francisco, delivered a eu logy. IN THE UNITED STATES COURT. Resolutions in Honor of the Great Jurist Various Addresses. John Marshall day was celebrated by the members of the Multnomah bar at a meet ing held In the United States Court room. The attendance was large, and many ad dresses appropriate to the occasion were delivered. The bench was decorated with an American flag, and a picture of the great Chief Justice, who presided over the Supreme Court of the United States, be ginning February 4, 1801, hung in the cen ter of the folds of the National emblem. Judges Cleland, Frazer, George and Sears occupied the bench with Judge Bellinger, the latter occupying a central position, and "acting as presiding officer. Charles H. Carey, chairman of the com mittee of the Oregon car Association, having the exercises in charge, presented a series 6f resolutions, introducing them with an appropriate speech. Mr. Carey said in cart: "It is not often that a man's contempo raries are able justly to estimate his place in history. In the fierce noonday glare that beats down upon one who occupies exalted station, the eyes are dazzled or misled by exaggerations of light and shade, and It is not untft the shadows lengthen and the lights soften that the true proportions are measured In their relation to perspective and values. The history of our own times, to be critically written, must be written by posterity. And, to make use of a paradox, the his tory of our own times is never written, because history truly written Is Invariably the history of times anterior. How often It happens that the birth of world-movements is not perceived until by the cli max of events the inevitable has hap pened, and then for the first time the eye travels backward along the path and dis cerns in the dim distance the insignificant beginning that developed into the mighty result. So it is with individuals: the world's greatest characters have often been mistaken, misunderstood and under estimated during their lives, and It has required time to set them firmly on the pedestal of fame. The influence of such men as Jesus, Columbus, Shakespeare and Luther, who changed world-currents, is more surely apprec ated as time has flowed onward. "It Is rather by way of contrast ttiat those recollections came to mind in con sidering the life of Marshall, for It Is un doubtedly true of him that by the close of his life he had gained not only the re spect, but the affection, of his fellow citizens. Yet it is nevertheless true that now, after a lapse of two-thirds of a cen tury since his life work was finished, we feel ourselves better able to set the measuring-rod against his colossal figure and to estimate at its true value the import ance of his Influence upon the Constitu tion. For the passions of his contempo raries have cooled, prejudices and resept- ments are burled with those who cherished them, and political questions that were so Intense and so .strident in Marshall's day still interest the student, but no longer stir the blood. "When Marshall was appointed Chief Justice in 1S01, the acrimonious party con troversies between the Federal and Re publican parties was at Its height, and, indeed, within the Federalist ranks, the discord that afterward rent it asunder and annihilated It was making a wide breaoh between President Adams and the Hamilton-Pickering element, Adams went out of office, and one of his last acts was to appoint 'the midnight Judges,' and when Jefferson came in, his first message expressed the conviction that the judicial system would be swept away. In the Marbury-Madlson case. In the Impeach ment trials of Judges Chase and Picker ing, In the Burr trial, In the several cases that arose involving the semlpolitlcal question of the relative functions of state and Nation, and the jurisdiction and pow ers of the Federal judiciary, Marshall's rulings were the subject of heated discus sion in Congress and throughout the land. After the Burr trial, he was even hung in effigy at Baltimore, and newspapers and pamphlets and handbills were used to caricature him as the partisan Judge. Dur Jefferson's administration the President never failed to refer to him In terms of hostility and contempt, "Nevertheless, when Marshall was ele vated to the Supreme Bench, his eminent professional qualifications were recognized by the bench and bar. He was viewed as a Federalist of the most pronounced type, but as an able lawyer and a man of spot less private character, and an impartial Judge. C. E. S. "Wood followed with an elo quent address on Marshall's work, and speeches wore then made reviewing de cisions delivered by Marshall In Important cases involving great Constitutional ques tions, as follows: J. B. Cleland Osborn vs. Bank of Unit ed States. Alfred Sears, Jr. Dartmouth College case. Zera Snow Gibbons vs. Ogden. "W. D. Fenton Aaron Burr's trial. C. B. Bellinger Marbury vs. Madison. The following resolutions were ,read, adopted and spread upon the journal of the court, after which the court was ad journed for the day. "Whereas, on the 4th day of 'February, 1801, John Marshall, entered upon his great llfework as Chief Justice of tho Supreme. Court of the United States, at a time when .tho Constitution was yet, a novel and untried experiment, and tho impoverished people were but Just re covering; from the devastating effect of tho "War for Independence; and there after, throughout the period of a third cf a century while he adorned the bench, In passing upon cases involving tha scope and functions of the National Government, and the limitations upon the' powers of ,the states, the Jurisdic tion and powers of the Federal courts, and difficult questions of growing im portance relating to the expanding com merce and the industrial development l of the country, he was ever the embodi ment of wisdom and learning and' of those virtues that are the, attributes, of the Judicial office, so that, as It was -with "Washington and with Lincoln in other emergencies, he may Justly bo said to have been tha man for tho hour, fitted by mature and by training to ac complish what a man of lees ability or of different mold would have failed to accomplish, and so that it may be re peated of Marshall, as was said of him. by one of his associates upon the bench, that he was "tho very personification of Justice itself, as he, ministered at Its altars In the presence of tho Nation;" and. Whereas, It is fitting that this cen tennial anniversary shall bo marked by more than a passing thought, and that some expression be given by the courts and the bar of the profound sense of obligation that Is imposed upon mankind by his Judicial labors, and particularly by his luminous exposition of the prin ciples that underlie the American Con stitution and his fearless application of those, principles to cases that were sub mitted to him for decision; and. Whereas, This day has, by general consent, been designated as "John Mar shall Day," and voluntarily set aside by the people of the Nation In memory of him who Is at once the pride and the exemplar of his profession; now, therefore, be It Resolved, By the bench and bar here assembled, that, In commemoration of the accession of Chief Justice Marshall to tho Supreme Bench of the United States, this day be observed as a holi day, and that the United States District . and Circuit Courts for the District of Oregon, and the several departments of the State Circuit Court and the County Court, for Multnomah County, be re quested to adjourn for tho day, and to spread upon their several Journals this resolution, that It may be perpetuated as a memorial In the records of these tribunals and as an expression of our ap preciation of Marshall's position in the history of our country.

There were no Incidental ceremonies, Judge Bel linger stepped forward and announced the purpose of the meeting, and introduced the speaker.

"The evil that men do Is said to live after them, but the good Is oft Interred with their bones. There are, however, good men as well as bad men who 'depart ing leave behind them footprints on the sands of time,' whose good work knows neither death nor dying, but lives on through the centuries.

FINAL" CEREMONIES PATHETIC TheKlng Queen and Other Royal Mourners Followed the' Coflln From the Castle Services "Wero-Conducted by Bishop. " WINDSOR, Feb. 4. The last honors have been paid to 'Queen Victoria. Her body ndw rests peacefully near that of her husband, in tho mausoleum at Frog more. The final ceremonies were of a o -- more pathetic character than any of tffe obsequies which preceded them. Shortly before 3 o'clock, in the pres ence of the royal mourners, the Grena dier guard of honor lifted the coffin 1 from Its temporary resting place In the Albert Memorial Chapel and placed It I on a gun carriage. In the meanwhile the , Queen's company of Grenadiers, drawn up , ln the quadrai,sie, presented arms anU wheeled into line, their rifles at reverse, and with slow, measured step marched toward the castle gate. At the head of the procession was a band playing Chopin's funeral march. Slowly the cortege passed under the massive archway on to the Long Walk, which was a mass of black, brilliantly edged with scarlet. Life Guardsmen kept the crowd back. In place on the gun carriage was the same regalia which at- traded the eyes of millions since the march to the grave began at Osborne, Close behind walked the King, Emperor William and the Duke of Connaught, -- - wearing dark military overcoats and plumed cocked hats, and- looking pale and careworn. In similar dull attire were the Kings of Portugal and Belgium. All heads were bent. The blue and gray of the German Princes redeemed the royal group from somberness of color. Behind these walked Queen Alexandra and the royal Princesses, deeply veiled. The Queen carried an umbrella, but the others had their hands folded. As the last trio of these veiled women passed out from the castle there came two boys dressed ln bright tartan kilts and velvet jackets. Between them was a young glrL her fair, loose hair glimmering against the crape of her mourning.

MARSHALL. Prince Edward of York. His tiny legs could hardly keep pace even with the slow progress of the mourning band. The rear of the procession was brought up by the suites of the Kings and Princes, their vari-colored overcoats forming a striking patch of color. Down the Long Walk, with the band still playing Chopin's dirge, this quiet throng slowly made its way to the mausoleum. The horses attached to the gun carriage were inclined to be restive, but as an extra precaution a drag of ropes was attached to the wheels and held by sturdy artillery men. At the lodge gates the strain of the band died away and the pipers commenced their lament. There, between the broad ave nue of stately trees, the crowds were the thickest, forming dense black banks. By 3:30 'P. M. the crowned bier hnd passed into the other lodge which leads .to the Frogmore enclosure, where none but the family and servants was ad mitted. The choir met them, and the royal family and their relatives entered the burial place so dear to the late Queen, ranging themselves on each side of the coffin. While the royal family took their places around the coffin, the dome of "Victoria's tomb re-echoed with the sad strains of "Lord, Thou Knowest." The Bishop of Winchester, standing on the platform, on w'hlch rested the Queen's coffin, read the committal prayer and t t the Lord's Prayer. Then the choir sang, "Sleep Thy Last Sleep," the dean said the collect, the choir broke into the anthem, "The Face of Death Is Turned Toward the Sun of Life," and with hands stretched over the congregation, the Bishop of Winchester pronounced the benediction. A short. lowed, broken by the solemn silenoe fol lowed, broken by the sweet cadence of Stalncr's "Amen," and then King Ed ward and Emoeror William, the visiting Kings and Princes and the Queen and Princesses, filed before the bier and passed out to thc-ir carriages. Coronation May Be Hastened. NEW YORK. Feb. 4. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: After today's papers have been read here, there will be a strong public reaction against the melancholy ten dencies of the last three weeks. In terest will be stimulated in the new before announcing a decision. The coronation, instead of. being deferred until next year, may be hastened. The revised orders for mourning support this belief, and there are precedents for an early coronation. There Is a general feel ing that a unique reign has been closed with honor and pageants fully commen surate with the historic occasion, and that great business interests will not be al lowed to suffer from an undue prolonga tion of the period of public mourning. A Boer Raid Feared. LOURENCO MARQUES, Feb. 4.-In view of the probability of a Boer raid, all the ammunition surrendered by the burghers at Komatipoort has been load ed on lighters and moored in the bay.
