The veto of Governor Pennoyer
of the wagon road measures will
probably end those draws npon
the public treasury, as it will
probably be impossible to pass the
bills over the veto. The house
can pass the bills over his veto.
but it is likely the senate cannot.
If not, this will reduce the appro
priations of the eeesion aboat
$130,00 J. While it will save a
very appreciable sum to the state
treasury, it will undoubtedly hit
ler the meritorious improvement
of many localities in different por-,
of the state. There was quite a j
query from different quarters as to
whether the governor would have
used his veto so sharply if the jov
caused by the senatti action in
abolishing the railroad commission
had not been changed to gall by
the re-consideration and continu
ing of the com mission. I
The senate sat down upon the
assessment and taxation measure,
as usual, and there will be no
change at this session. The hou.se
proposes and the seuate disposes
of all assessment amendments.

taken.and consequently notking,ia J

Chicago, Feb. 19. American
Horse, an Ogallala Sioux, one of
the signers of the Sioux reserva
tion treaty, who has just returned
from Washinton, swears that Ids
people will go on the war-path in
the spring. ' Young-Man-Afraid-His-liorse,
Medieine Bull, White
Ghost, Mad Bear and others say
the same thing. Iu an interview
with Am ;rican Horse he said
frankly that in the spring, just as
soon as they got fodder lor their
hordes, they intend going on the
war-path. American Horse fur
ther said, after Secretary Noble
had treated him and his com
panions so shabbily, he talked to
the secretary very plainly, but the
interpreter did not tell Jsoble what
he said. Thtf Ogallalas wanted to
be put under the military and re
quested that Geriveral Miles be al
lowed to be present at the confer
ence, but Noble would not listen
to it. The truth of the matter
was that the Ogallalas, who were
in the main friendly, are sore be
cause thev did not get more con
cessions than the .Brules, who
were mainly hostile. Yonng-Man-a

two weeks rations, ine rations
were eaten already, while none of
theclo'hing was fit for Fquaws

path in the spring. "The best
thing to do is to fight," said
White Gliost. "We are not
tieated right, and don't expect to

preter from Standing Rock, talked
very freely. He said the reds
were disgusted and would make a
very unfavorable report when
they got back.

Cleveland and Hayes Attend
the Funeral Serv oes.
New York, Feb. 19. New York
to-diy paid every possible tribute
.of reupect to the memory of Gen
eral Sherman. The dawn of bis
funeral day opened bright and
clear. The courts remained closed.
Exchanges were closed at noon,
and sreneral business brought
almost to a standstill. All who
could do so ceased their daily oc
cupations to do honor to the' dead
soldier.
At an early hour people- began
to asemb!e in the street opposi'.e
the residence of General Shermm.
From almost every house along the
street the American flag floated at
haif-mast. There were few visitors
in the early hours of the morning.
Only the most intimate friends
and a few old soldiers were ad
mit ed, and the latter were obliged
to show certificates that thev
served in the armv.
A few minutes before 11, a large
floral shield was received at the
house from West Point cadets.
At 11 o'clock, Secretaries Blaine,
Proctor and Rusk, Generals
O'Brien, Homer and Ewing, ar
rived at the house.
Services of prayers began at
noon and were over at 12 :30. The
prayers were road by Rev. Father
Sherman. Close to the casket
stood the other son, P. T. Sher
man. In the front parlor were all
i he other members of the family,
Secretary Blaine and Mrs. Dama
r.'eeh. Fa'her Sherman was as
sisted by Father Taylor and two
other priests. Father Sherman in
conducting the simple service.read
from the Scripture the passage
lieginniig: "lam the resurrec
tiou and the life." After this
selections were sung from the Or
atio of "Elijah." Mr. Sherman
again read the Scriptures, and the
"Miserari" from Mendejsshon was
given. Prayer was offered by the
son and the services concluded
with music.
There were about .159 persons
present at the services, the greater
number being relatives; but
among the friends were Mrs.
Grant and Senator Crmeron.
Among the visitors were George
W. Childs, A. J. Drexel, Hiram
Hitchcock, Chauncey M. Depeir,
ex-Presidents Cleveland and
Hayes, Joseph Choate, Rear-Admiral
Braine, General SchotielJ
and Governor Patti ion and Bulk-
ely, with their staffs. It was close
on to 5 o'clock when President
Harrison with Lieutenant Ernest,
his aide-de-camp, reached the
house.
Long before the procession
moved spectators began to take
Ksitions along the line of march.
Decorations along the route were
not ho numerous or so elaborate a
when General Grant was buried,
but, nevertheless,- they were
strikingly handsome and "in great
profusion.
Just about 2 p. m., troop Sixth
cavalry formed to the left of the
house in the middle of the street.
Six lieutenants appeared in the
doorway, bearing on their shoul
ders the casket of the general,
which they placed on the waiting
cai?son. Members of the family,
friends, invited; officials and pall
bearers then took their places in
carriages, and followed by mem
bers of Lafayette Post, G. A. R.,'
formed on either ide of the man
sion, the procession commenced to
move, but very slowly, as both
sides of the street were crowded
with hundreds of carriages, wait
ing to take their places in the line.
Following came the military,
consisting of the military order of
the Loyal Leg:oii, G. A. R., cadets
and the National Guard, consist
ing of the Sixty-ninth, Twenty
second, Seventh and Twelfth regi
ments and the First and Second
batteries, artillery. Behind these
were the Sons of Veterans and
civic organizations, who brought
up in the rear of the parade.
The pageant started down Eighth
ave me from Seventy first street to
Fifty-seventh street, then turned
into Fifth avenue and down to
Washington square. Here the
parade, except the guard of honor
and escort of mounted police, was
dismissed. Lafayette Pojt 50 hav
ing in its center the caisson and
black charger, swung into Broad
way and marched to Canal street
and thence to Des Brasses street
ferry. Carriages, in which were
the family, followed closely, an
all boarded the ferryboat, which
was in waiting, and which took
the remains across to Jersey City.
There the body was placed in a
special car, and the family occu
pied another car.
The train left Jersey City at
6:45 p. m.
