Cleveland and on the way thiher, and said that they
would that he reimbursed. No
detailed instructions were given to Mr.. Thompson. hut
he told to do what proper. He
appears 20 construed this authority very literally.
When the remains OF the President arrived in Washing
ton 1t found that every needed preparation for
their reception had been made. Congressman who de-
sired TO pay their personal expenses unable TO
to do so, being informed here and at Cieye-
land well that the bills all paid.
There undoubtedly extravaganza and waste, but for
that Congressman and Senators can hardly be held re-
