THE CZAR'S FDNERAL
Took Place Yesterday With
Impressive Ceremonies.
AN IMMENSE THRONG PRESENT
Remains Laid Away In the Isopsrlal
Vault Services at Other Places
Foreign News Notes.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 19. The
morning of the late czar'a funeral opened
dark and foggy. The emblems of
mourning throughout the city were drip
ping with moisture and presented a dil
apitated appearance. At an early hour
the streets were filled with people. The
booming of the cannon at the fortress of
the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul
announced the beginning of the funeral
services. The thoroughfares leading to
and in the vicinity of the cathedral were
lined with troops. The czar and the
Imperial family on their arrival at the
cathedral were met at the main doors
and escorted by the metropolitan and
his attendants to places at the foot of
the coffin. The religious services over
the body were most solemn and impos
ing. The cream of the royalty of the
empire, foreign princes representing
foreign countries, foreign diplomatists
and other distinguished persons were
present in the church, and some of them
assisted at the ceremonies. During the
services, which were of the orthodox
Greek church, the people present re
mained on their feet. Each mourner
and visitor held a lighted taper, in
cluding the czar, whose taper was the
first to be lighted. The czarina, who
was present looked pale and was much
affected. After the mass for the dead,
the special service for the czar was be
gun. At the conclusion, a special num
ber of pealma were rendered by a male
choir, and litanies for the dead were
chanted by - the metropolitan and the
choir. Then came the reading of the
Reasons and the pronouncing of the ab
solution for the dead by the metro
politans. The chief mourners then took
farewell of the dead. The czar first
stepped forward and kissed the lips of
the dead father. He was followed by
the other members of the imperial
family and these bound by ties of blood
or marriage. The lid of the casket was
then fastened, and on the shoulders of
the grand dukes the casket was borne to
the entrance of the imperial vault,
which opened in the pavement, and in a
moment all that was mortal of the dead
czar was lowered into its last resting
place. As the coffin was lowered into
the vault, the czarina, who had been
under a terrible strain, fell on her knees
and wept. She was supported by her
son, the czar, and led away sobbing.
The funeral eercices were concluded at
2 :30 p. m. Then the scene completely
changed, A salvo of cannon was fired
from the fortress and the mourning flags
which were flying at half-mast from the
fortress were lowered and the imperial
standard hoisted at full mast. Numer
ous bands at this writing (3:15) are
playing lively airs, and vast crowds
are surging towards the winter palace
The imperial family and royal guests
are returning to the winter palace after
. the funeral.
Narrow Xseapa of British Bark Swan-
more.
Astoria, Nov. 19. The British bark
Swanmore, 1731 tons in ballast, 21 days
from San Francisco, arrived at 1 :30 this
afternoon. Captain Greenbaum has a
very interesting story to tell of the nar
row escape of his vessel from going
ashore near Cape Falcon or False Tilla
mook, early yesterday morninar. It
seems the Swanmore arrived off the
lightship about 3 o'clock Saturday after-
noon and findine no tue or mlot Rtnnri
i)S to the southward, a wind having
sprung up from the northeast.
Early Monday morning the wind died
away, and the Swanmore foand herself
enveloped in a thick fog, and being un
able to locate their bearines were com
pletely loBt until they were startled to
hear a noise that always causes the
Bailors' blood to run cold, the roaring of
the breakers on the beach. The anchor
was at once dropped and 35 fathoms of
chain run out. Here they remained

a 0,
until 8 :30, when a light off-shore wind
sprung up, and the bark's anchor was
slipped. They utood directly off shore
for about 8 miles, and the wind again
failed them. Again the vessel drifted
toward the ' breakers, and their dull,
roaring sound was plainly audible, when
a second breeze sprung up and the
Swanmore was headed toward the open
sea.
i By this time the fog had lifted and the
crew of the Swanmore could easily dis
tinguish the rugged and perpendicular
cliff of Cape Falcon. At 3 o'clock they
were nearly 8 miles off shore, when they
were again becalmed, and commenced
drifting shoreward. Nearer and nearer
the treacherous land swell carried them,
until the bark passed over the first line
of breakers, directly off the worst part
of the rugged headland. She was drift
ing slowly ashore, and the boats were
already filled with the effects of the
crew, ready the moment the vessel
struck to clear oway and attempt to get
to shore through the eurf. Assistance
was at hand, however, for the little
steam coaster Harrison loomed up to
the south. They had evidently noticed
the Swanmore's signals of distress, for
they were bearing down on her nnder a
full head of steam.- They were inside
the second line of tumbling breakers and
dangerously near the third when the
Harrison managed to get hold of the
steel hawser from the vessel. By this
time the roar of the breakers was deafen
ing and the swell was running shore-
wards with terrible force, and when the
line was pulled taut and the little
steamer started with her heavy tow, her
bits were nearly torn from her deck. It
was a long and hard struggle at first,
but the Harrison finally got the bark
free from the breakers, and towing her
fully 10 miles off shore, dropped her.
This morning she was opposite the
mouth of the river and was picked up
by a tug and brought inside. Captain
Schroder, of the Harrison, claims that
no bargain was made; in fact, there was
no time for striking bargains. On the
other hand, Captain Greenbaum, qf the
Swanmore, claims that a bargain was
made for the sum ot $900.
Japanese Are Great Fighters.
Provincetown, Nov. 19. An officer
of the United States ship Concord, writ
ing from Chemulpo, Corea, October 7th,
to a friend here, says : "The Japanese
are splendid soldiers, well drilled, and
fight like tigers, showing no quarter to
the Chinamen. In the battle of Sep
tember 17th, 15,000 Chinese were killed
and only 300 men were lost by the ' Jap
anese. For quick work and skill in en
gineering, the Japanese exceed Any men
I ever saw. Everything with them goes
like clockwork. They laid pontoons
across the river and marched over a
body of troops, consisting of 20,000 men,
with heavy guns and artillery, and had
everything completed in a little over two
hours. They are landing troops here
every day and marching them on toward
Peking, and I should not be surprised if
before this letter reaches you they have
taken that ci.y. September 27th they
captured a place and $300,000 with it,
and the reports are that they killed
every Chinaman in the place. Oh, they
are fighters from Fighterville, and if no
foreign nations interfere, or China does
come down on her knees soon and sur
render on such terms as the Japanese
see fit. to make, tbey will wipe the
Chinese off the face of the earth. No
matter if they have got millions and
millions of men in China, they are no
fighters, and the Japs are. The Japan
ese are aleo a progressive nation. They
have all the latest improvements in war
fare, and know how to use them with
effect ; while John Chinaman is no fur
ther advanced than he was in A. D. 1.
Just think of fighting with bows and
arrows by any nation at the close of the
19th century.

dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages and that is
Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the

What a pleasant surprise that must have
