tinctionthe stars and bars of the Con
federate States and the Stars and Stripes.
Veterans of the Southern and Northern
armies mingled today In paying tribute
to General Wheeler with the younger vet
erans of the Cuban and Philippine cam
paigns of 1S9S and 1S99. The route of the
funeral cortege was lined with great
crowds, most of whom stood with bared
heads as the procession passed.
- Placed on Artillery Caisson.
The funeral took place from the home of
General Wheeler's sister, Mrs. Sterling
Smith, in Brooklyn, where the General
died Thursday of pneumonia. The body
was borne from the house by noncommis
sioned officers of infantry, and placed
upon a Hag-draped artillery caisson.
Squadron C and a detail of the Second
Battery of Artillery escorted the body,
and on the Manhattan side of the bridge
the Seventy-first Regiment. Now York
National Guard, In full-dress uniform,
was drawn up. The Seventy-first, com
manded by Colonel W. G. Bates, served
under General Wheeler in Cuba, and to

the Department of the East, U. S. A., also
joined the procession on this side of the
river.
Horse AVlthout a Rider.
From Brooklyn Bridge the line of march
led across town to Washington Square,
and thence up Fifth avenue from Eighth
street to Fifty-third street, to St. Thomas
Church. A riderless horse, with boots re
versed in the stirrups and a cavalry
sword dangling from the saddle, was led
, just behind the caisson.
' TJie church edifice was thronged. Scats
had been reserved for members of the
Southern Society, the Confederate Vet
erans Association, the Society of the War
of 1S12, several other organizations, and
the personal friends of the family. Reser
vations also had been made for the hon
orary pallbearers, the staff of General
Frederick D. Grant, U. S. A., and the
officers of the escort. The altar of the
church was almost hidden beneath tho
floral offerings, one among them a great
wreath sent by President Roosevelt.
"Noted Men Do Bend Honor.
The brief services were conducted by
the Rev. Ernest Stirres, rector of the
church, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Morgan
Dlx, who, meeting the body at the door,
led the way to the chancel. They were
followed by the church vestry, consisting
of D. O. Mills. George McCulloch Miller.

After the casket had been placed on the
pedestals the full choir of St. Thomas en
tered the church singing as a processional
hymnal. "Lead, Kindly Light." Dr. Stircs
m his sermon said.
"This is one of the great occasions of
our lives. For we are met to honor the
memory of a rare man. I do not speak
to you of him principally as a citizen.
statesman or soldier, for the mere record
of his deeds is far moro eloquent than any
praise could be. It Is of the man I think
at this hour. Was he entitled to be called
great? It is not -difficult for you to de
cide.
Honored in North and South.
"He was distinguished by courage with
out rashness, by wisdom without pride.
by gentleness without weakness, by pa
tlenccj without heedlessness, and by just
Ice which always leaned toward mercy.
He honored man. he trusted man. and to
every man he was ready to give his time.
his substance, his heart.
"The "North gives him unstinted honor.
The South, even in her grief, is proud of
her son. Cuba, for whose freedom he
fought, sobs other grief across the waves.
and the whole world pauses for a moment
today to declare that this was indeed a
man."
Following the church services the body
was escorted to Jersey City, where it
was placed on board a train of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, which left for Wash
ington shortly after 4 o'clock. Funeral
services there and the interment will be

WILL TEST DRY FARMING
Government Experiments Designed
to Test Its limitations.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 28. While the Department of
Agriculture does not deny there is merit
in what Is known as the Campoell system
or dry farming and while it Is willing that
all credit for that comparatively new sys
tem shall go to its instigator, there is a
strong belief la the minds of Irrigation of
ficials of that department that the system
should. bc carefully studied by the Gov
ernment in order that Its limitations, as
well as Its benefits may be laid bare to
tho farmers of the semi-arid regions.
Bills are now pending in Congress author
izing Government experiments under the
Campbell system In various states and
under all" "manner of conditions prevailing
in the semi-arid country-
It has come to the attention of Con
gress that some farmers, having only a
general knowledge of the Campbell sys
tem, have undertaken the cultivation of
crops that can not be grown except with
an abundance of water; In other Instances
farmers have undertaken cultivation in
soils not adapted to dry farming. In con
sequence there has been some loss and
there will be more until the farmers fully
realize the limitations of dry farming and
como to know when and whero it can be
used, and what crops it will produce under
various climatic and soil conditions.
To that end it Is probable that an ap
propriation of $20,000 will be made in the
agricultural appropriation bill for Just
this sort of experiments. Such an appro
priation would be expended in localities
where irrigation Is not practiced and
where it is not likely to be undertaken,
but where conditions arer favorable to dry
arming. Once the Government ascertains
what crops will grow by this method'-and
what will not, farmers can safely under
take farming by this method. The Gov
ernment experiments are in no way a re
flection on the promoters of the Camp
bell system, but will aid them, inasmuch
as they will tend to reduce the number of
failures and toe a guide to those wno are
earnestly striving to get crops with a lim
ited amount of water. Once this appro
priation is made, it is apt to be continued
from year to year, until the Government
shall have demonstrated the. possibilities
of dry farming all over the West It Is a
good work; it costs but llttl and Its ben
efits will be greatly in excess of the cost.
DUNNE SIGNS ORDINANCE
Confident Chicago "Will Soon Own
Its Street-Car Lines.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-,"I have appended
my signature to the municipal ownership
measure recently passed by the City Coun
cil and am resting confident that my plans
for the municipalization of the Chicago
street-car lines will be realized before
my present term of office is ended."
Mayor Dunne made the foregoing state
ment tonight. He said he had signed the
so-called $75,000,000 ordinance last night,
while lying ill at his home. In tho belief
that it was necessary for him to sign the
ordinances within ten days of passage, in
order that they might become legal under
the provisions of the city charter. That
legal obstacles will toe placed In the way
of the consummation of his plans is an
ticipated by Mayor "Dunne
"I believe that after the election there
will be another attempt to test the Muel
ler law certificates, and In fact the va
lidity of the act Itself," he said. "That,
however. Is a thing to be desired. We
wish to have it done as quickly as pos
sible and I believe we should get a de
cision within three months at the mini
mum and 12 months at the maximum"
The Mayor declared that the defects of
the ordinance, if any, could and would bo
remedied, and that it was drawn to
achieve a general purpose and would be
regarded as valid by the courts. Ques
tioned, as to his plans for early municipal
ownership. Mayor Dunne replied:
"Circumstances will largely settle that
question If wo win at the polls wo will
ask the companies for a. valuation of their
properties. We will demand a quick reply
and If we get it we can proceed at once
toward taking over their lines. If wo are
given no satisfaction we will have to con
tract for a system. We could throw a
large force of men Into the work 'and
under a competent contractor whose plans
had been agreed upon by the city the sys
tem could be started."
For the first few miles to be operated
by the city the purchase of power in lieu
of the establishment of power-houses was
suggested. The Mayor said that he would
have no further plans to offer for the fur
thering of municipal ownership until after
the voters have made known at the April
election whether or not they want munic
ipal ownership.
RIOTING IN VLADIVOSTOK
"Loyal Troops Said to Be Far Out
numbered by "Revolutionaries.
SHANGHAI. Sunday. 7:30 P. M. (Spe
cial.) Desperate "rioting: is going on in
Vladivostok, where the troops have
again defied their officer and such few
regiments as remain loyal, and are try
ing1 to capture the city. Meager details
have sifted through, but these indicate
that the present riots far eclipse in
the number of men engaged thoe of
two months ago when more than 2000
were killed, and wounded.
All the hospitals arc filled with
wounded men, while many others are
lying- uncared for in the snow-covered
streets.
The rioters far outnumber the loyal
soldiers and arc well supplied with
arms and ammunition, but apparently
lack competent leadership, and the lat
ter are still In possession of the fort
resses. The last report from the city
places the number of killed and wound
ed at 3000, but these figures are being'
added to momentarily as there is no
cessation of hostilities.
Five armored trains which were sent,
manned with troops, to take part in an
expedition to attack the mutineers in
the rear, were derailed by powerful
explosives and many of the soldiers
killed and wounded.

Foreign -War and "Unsettled Condi
tions at Home Caused a Consid-
crablc Shrinkage in 1905
Compared "With 1904.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S. Trade of the
United States with Russia. Including tl
Asiatic part, during the fiscal year of
IKS, as shown by the records of the Bu
reau of Statistics of the Department of
Commerce and Labor, amounted to $25,
ttO.000, of which 5ll,8,0 represented Im
ports Into the United States and $17,000,000
the exports of the United States to Rus
sia. The figures arc somewhat lower than
the figures for the preceding year, when
the total trade figures were in excess of
JSUCO.OOO (of which 5U.5O0.O00 were im
ports and $3.00,OCO were exports). The
shrinkage is due largely to the war and
the unsettled condition of the country.
These figures do not include the entire
trade movement between the countries.
Goods shipped from this country and ulti
mately reaching Russia, and vice versa,
are often consigned v, ports of inter
mediate countries and trans-shipped, par
ticularly raw cotton, the largest Item of
American exportation to Russia.
As a matter of fact the officially re
corded Imports of American cotton Into
Russia during the five years" period end
ing December 31, 1S0I. were S19.S3i.OM
pounds, while our exports to that country
during the fivq-ycar period ending June
33. ISO!, are stated In official reports of
the Bureau of Statistics to have been
205,005.000 pounds', or less than 20 per cent
of the direct Imports recorded by the
Russian customs authorities.
' Furthermore, beside 5W.S0O.O00 worth of
raw cotton credited to the United States,
imports of cotton to the amount of 524.
300.000 are credited to Great Britain, Ger
many, Denmark. Belgium. France. Swe
den and Norway, all countries which do
not produce cotton, but receive the great
er part (about 75 per cent) of their supply
from the United States.
i Allowing for these additional figures, it
is said that a conservative estimate of
the total value of the commerce, both
direct and indirect, would place the value
at not less than $55,000.00 to $50,000,000. of
which H5.O00.000 to $50,000.(0) represents the
value of goods shipped to Russia from
this country and about $10.00.00 to the
value of goods shipped from Russia to
the United States.
The principal Imports from the United
States consist chiefly of raw material,
such as Is not produced there at all (Jute,
manila, hemp, etc.). or produced In In
sufficient quantities.
The principal imports Into Russia from
the United States for the calendar year
103, the latest .year for which complete
returns for the entire empire are avail
able, are raw cotton, valued at 52i.33S.000.
which includes the value of direct Imports
oniy: macnincry. chlcny agricultural ma
chinery of the more complex type, which
aggregated $2.S4.0CO In value: Iron and
steel, copper dyes, etc The annual Im
port from (he United Stntes for the vcar
18M-1B9S is $24.771,0C0. while the average
Imports for the period 1KO-1&T3 arc $23.-
"76.x. theso being exclusive of the Indi
rect Imports, which, as in the case of cot
ton, reach considerable proportions.
The principal imports Into the United
States from Russia are raw materials
principally raw wool and hides and fklns
whose combined value constitutes near
ly SO per cent of tho total Imports credited
to that country as a whole. The Imports
of sugar, which in 1S01 were valued at
571S.31S. have since ceased.
Of the total imports Into Russia over
the European frontier in lKH. the share
credited to the United States constitutes
10.7 per cent, while oftthe total Imports
Into this country during the fiscal year
1905 the share credited to Russia is 1.5

UGIIT OX BOYCOTT.
Chinese Opposition to Be Discussed
, in the Senate.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S. The Senate
will begin the week with the considera
tion of the Chinese boycott. The ques
tion will come up In connection with a
resolution offered last week by Senator
Tillman, directing the committee on im
migration to investigate the reports con
cerning Chinese opposition to American
manufactures.
"When the question was presented Mr.
Tillman asked for Immediate considera
tion, but Mr. Aldrlch objected. It is
understood that he and other Republican
Senators dislike the preamble to the reso
lution, which assumes as a fact the re
ported leadership of cx-MInister Wu
Ting Fang In the boycott movement.
Mr. Tillman Is disposed to Insist upon
the retention of this phraseology. If he
does not change his mind the resolution
doubtless will lead to a considerable air
ing of the Chinese question.
Senator Galllngcr will make an effort
Monday to secure further consideration
of the shipping bill, and it is his purpose
to press that measure upon the attention
of the Senate as Insistently as the cir
cumstances will permit. In this policy he
will be supported, at least for the pres
ent; by many Republican Senators. It is
suspected by some of the friends of the
shipping bill that there is a disposition
to keep the measure in Its place for the
purpose of holding off the statehood bill,
but they say that while they are not pre
pared to let go of the shipping bill for
the present, they can displace It when
ever so disposed with the statehood bill.
The antagonists of statehood do not ad
mit this, and It looks as If the fight over
the admission of new states might be
initiated in this way. It is not probable,
however, that this stage of the contest
will be reached for some time
Mr. Gallinger will offer further amend
ments to his bill Monday, and either then
or later In tho week he and Senators
Lodge and Penrose will make speeches
in support of the bill. There will then
be an effort to get the opponents of the
bill cither to agree to a vote or give their
reasons for opposition. There will be
no attempt to prolong sessions, but the
bill will be held In its place as steadily,
as possible In the hope of getting action
before it becomes necessary to crowd- the
measure out in the Interest of other bills.
The statehood bill will be reported by
Senator Bevcridge from the committee
on territories Monday. Tho committee
having given no Instructions to him as
to bringing the bill up in the Senate, ho
will press It as rapidly as he can with
out prejudice to other party measures.
Tho friends of the bill expect vera de
termined opposition and a long contest
Is among the strong probabilities.
The principal point of controversy Is
the union of New Mexico and Arizona,
and an especial effort will be made to se
cure the adoption of Senator Foraker's
amendment giving the people of Arizona
an opportunity to vote separately on the
proposition.
Senator Heyburn has given notice of a
request Monday for unanimous consent
to fix a time for voting on the "pure-food
bill, but he will not succeed. Mr. Hey
burn has also given notice of a speech
tomorrow on the question of forest res-
crvatlons.
The Indications are that there will be

"NO RELIANCE IX CONGRESS

Out of Difficulty "Slay Be Found.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S. Baron Van
Busschc-Haddenhausen, the Counsellor of
the German Embassy, In an Interview
with a Post reporter, today expressed the
opinion that the tariff problem between
Germany and the United States would
eventually be solved. The Baron desired
It understood he was giving his personal
views and was not speaking officially. He
said:
"Germany and Germans believe that al
though the American Congress will al

the present difficulty. It must be re
membered that the American Congress.

to act. but the Reichstag and the Ger
man Senate both have their way of going
about things.
"Germany views the question of tariff
with a sentiment purely commercial
with the Americans. "All business is bus
iness."
Asked what would be done In. case the
American Congress falls to take action
by March 1. when the present arrange
mcnt between Germany and the United
States terminate?, Baron Haddcnbauscn
said:
"The German maximum tariff will go
into effect at once. Before one single

the German House and the Senate is re
quired. It la obvious, therefore, that its

German products exported to America
will receive the same consideration as
American exports to Germany."
Asked if he thought it possible that the
Franco-German troubles may seriously
affect the German-American tariff, he
.said:
"Hardly, inasmuch as the Franco-Gcr

"In the present situation we find noth

of being between private parties, it rests
in the hands of two governments. But

JAPANESE SEEM AT A LOSS HOW
TO PROCEED.
Protectorate Has Been Established,
and Resident-General Is to
Hank Everyone.
SEOUL, Corea. Dec. 15. (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.) The polit
ical situation here has been one of extreme
Interest. It seems to be undoubtedly true
that the Japanese have been able tq, put
through their programme with greater
celerity than they had expected "and that
once their protectorate has been estab
lished they are rather at a loss how to
proceed.
There Is really no head to anything.
The Cabinet Ministers are afraid to leave
their houses, and they do business when
necessary by telephone. The Emperor re
fuses to see any one, and Mr. Morgan,
the American Minister, left without a
farewell audience, because His Majesty
wished to avoid seeing the Japanese Min
ister, as he would have had to do in case
ho had received the American representa
tive.
The Japanese have created a protec
torate and provided that there shall be
a Resident-General, who shall outrank
ever ono and replace the legation and
the Minister, and that he shall attend to
all diplomatic affairs. The provisions
would seem to necessitate the abolition
of the Foreign Ofnce, as It has already
entailed the withdrawal of several of the
foreign Ministers.
Mr. HayashI Is supposedly acting Resi
dent-General, although still holding his
position as Minister, as no notification
has been sent to the foreign legations of
the change in his status. "While nomi
nally supreme, he ia ranked by the Commander-in-Chief,
General Hasegawa, and,
while Invested by the treaty with the con
trol of "diplomatic affairs." he still per
mits the Foreign Offlcc. now under the
direction of Mr. Stevens for no Corean
will accept the billet of Minister for For
eign afTairs. His Majesty still falls to
grasp the situation and continues to seek
the advice of any one who will tender It.
The problem which the Japanese have
In working out the establishment of a
protectorate over Corea in all its details
is a difficult one. The feeling between
tho two races and the keen competition
between the lower orders of the two peo
ples complicate matters and Increase the
difficulties of the already delicate situa
