VanVorhees moved to suspend the rules
and pass the bill appropriating 100000 for
erecting public buildings at Rochester, New
York.
This bill was on the public calendar to-
gether with 81 other bills of a similar charac-
ter, and "a gents were on their feet protesting
against one building being preferred to anoth-
er and the confusion and noise was conse-
quently great.
The speaker declared that an agreement
had been entered into by which the gentle
men were to be recognized according to the
order of their bills.
Blackburn denied this.
Th" speaker said he would examine the
records, pending which the house took a re-
ces.
On reassembling Mcmahon, Cobb and His
cock were appointed as conferees OH the de-
hclency appropriation bill.
A motion to suspend the rules and proceed
TO the consideration of the senate pension
bills on the speakers table and private calen-
oar met with a good deal of opposition from
the democratic side, many showing a strong
desire to 60 on with the business Oh the pri-
Vate calendar in regular order There was
great confusion. and very sharp words passed
between the speaker aud Singleton.
The motion was carried on a yea and nay
vote, but on the first pension bill 20 or 25
democrats refused to vote and left the house
without a quorum.

No Cabinet Yet.

New YORK, March "a Washington dis
patch saws: Everything is at sea so far as the
makeup Of the cabinet is concerned. Beyond
Blaine nothing is decidedly settled and even
he is not a fixed fact. The cabinet is not so
near being agreed upon as it was a month
ago. The country was led to suppose that
with Gartield's twenty years experience at
Washington he would have arranged his cab
met before coming o the capital. The coun-
try is likely to be disappointed by this want
of decision, character and tirmness. 1t is
very doubttul if the president can send the
names of his cabinet to the senate tomorrow
for confirmation. His lack Of knowledge of
men and a desire to cOnciliate factions has
carried him Into a whirlpool from which he
finds it difficult to reach solid ground.
Later-The NeWs says that Garfield has
taken the bit in his teeth and has named
Wayne McNeagh for attorney general, who
has accepted. This is in opposition to the
united sentiment of the Pennsylvania dele

Eanccck's Triumph.

CHICAGO, March IA dispatch from
Washington says that Gen. Hancock arrived
in the capital yesterday afternoon and created
considerable more sensation among a certain
class Of the population than the advent of his
victorious opponent. Fully $4,000 people
met him at the depot, took the horses from
his carriage after he had entered it, and drew
him Up Pennsylvania avenue in triumph.
The rush and cheering were both terrific, and
the General must have enjoyed the thing
hugely, seeing that the popular tumult pro-
claimed him something more than a defeated
candidate. He looked almost a victor as he
was drawn along, the boys and women yell
ling themselves hoarse, and the soldiers
throwing their caps in the air in their ~vocifer-
GUS shouts of "Hulrah tor Hancock - 1t
was the most enthusiastic demonstration,
taken in all, that has been accorded a public
man in Washington for many a day. 1t was
the peoples remembrance Of Gettysburg and
the Wilderness campaign, which no amount
of campaign lies and political m~alignity can
fail to blend inscparably with the military
career of Winfield Scott Hancock.

Injunction Refused,

NEW YORK, March 3.-Judse Blatchford,
OF the United States circuit court, to-day rem
dered a decision in suits brought by the Di-
rect Cable company and the French Cat lie
company to restrain the consolidation of the
Western Union and other telegraph c0mpAn
les. Judge Blatchford refuses to grant to
either of the two cOmplainants any relief
whatever. lie also refused to grant to either
of them any relief on their amended bills.
Judge SedgWick is reported as having ruled
that the Western Union can issue its ~certiti-
Gates for 4S44 per cent. This, officials claim,
practically ~accomplishes all that is required
to complete the consolidation.

The Big Snow Storm.

Chicago. March 3.--Nothing like the
storm which has prevailed in Wisconsin,
Iowa, Illinois and Michigan, since yesterday
afternoon has been Known in years. From
one foot to six feet of snow has been reported
as having fallen in different localities. This
being accompanied by a fierce wind a general
blockade has taken place. Traffic on the
railroads centcring here has been brought to a
stand-still. No trains left for the west to-
night, and only one or two for the east. Some
street cars have been forced to stop, and the
teams had to be doubled up on others. No
trains have passed between here and Mil
waukee since noon, and nearly all trains on
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul, Chi
cage Il Northwestern, and G. s.. Il G., have
been abandoned. A dispatch from Milwau-
k"e says The storm which began last
night at s o'clock was general all over Wis

cessation for over "A hours, and it is the
heaviest snow fall ever known in Wisconsin

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The following
is the text of Secretary Sherman's letter Of
resignation and his farewell address to the
officers and employees Of the treasury depart
ment:
To President Il. Z. Huyes:
My DEAR SIR-IIaving been elected "A
member of the senate of the United States, |
have the honor to resign the Office of secre-
tary OF the treasury, to take effect this day.
In thus ~sevelimg our official relations | avail
myself OF the opportunity to express my
grateful appreciation and heartfelt thanks for
the support and assistance you have uniform
ly given NE in the discharge of the duties of
that office. ! shall ever cherish with pleasant
memories my friendly ass Ociations with you
as a member Of your cabinet, and shall fol-
low you in your retirement from your great
office with best wishes and highest regards.
Very truly your friend,
JOHN SHERMAN.
The secretary took leave this afternoon
OF the officers and employees of the treasury
department., who had assembled in his room,
in the following words, in reply to the ad-
dress or Assistant French:
Mr.. Acklin, Secretary French and Ladies
and Gentlemen:
have received this mark Of your appreci-
alton and Kindness with more emotion than
100000 'hN' 4 SSA W. I-'S W "
gether for four years in important and very
eXacting labor. During that time
l have no doubt that in my intercourse with
you have not always been what you here
certify L have been. l have no doubt | often
have been abrupt, impatient, aud perhaps
have not been observant of all the cnurteSies
and kindnesses that men ought to exercise in
their intercourse with each other. Still, we
have been engag d in the performance OF
great and important duties, where decision
was necessary and promptness indispensable.
Now, i'll leaving you, to be transferred to all
other specific duty, | feel | have no enemy
here L wish TO punish, but that all are friends
whom | would be glad to reward. Most of
you have been here longer than | have.
Many of you are indispensable to the public
service Now, gentlemen,I can say no more.
When L leave you | desire to have the kindly
recollections and friendship of you all. |
will be glad to shake hands with any who de-
sire to do so.
Sherman was very much affected, and his
concluding remarks were broken and at times
almost inaudible. Many officers with whom
Sherman had been Intimately associated were
also deeply affected.
