ARRANGEMENTS FOR JHE FUNERAL.
THE IsTEgMENT TO BE IN THE CEMETERY OF PERE
La CHAIsE-sCEYEs AT VILE D'AvRkY.
PARIS, Jan. 2-The Clarion Royast revives the
story that M Gambetta shot by woman who
came to Vile dAvray threatening suicide and from
whom he eDdeavored to snatch revolver. Further
accounts Of his death state that ~ Gambetta was
impatient TO the end Of the year, which he con-
sdered had been unlucky for him. Ganbetta's for
tune, derived chiefly from his newspaper, Is esti-
mated at under 700, 900 francs.
The body was embalmed to-day. There is
some talk of postponing the funeral
until the 10th inst, so that the Senate and
Chamber of Depuaes may attend in body.
ALI of the troops in Paris and Marsellles
have been ordered to attend the funeral. Gam.
bettas sister has gone to Nice TO obtain her fathers
consent to perrit State funeral. The Cabinet has
decided that the funeral shall be similar to the
funerals of Theirs and Cremieu members OF the
Government of National Defence. The Parislans
have decided to close their shops on the day OF the
funeral.
1t is estimated that 5000 persons visited the
house at Vile d'Avrsy yesterday. The people were
admitted by groups of five or ten into passage
whence they assembled TO the small bedroom wnere
the body was lying. The visitors included
Ministers, Senators and other funcuonaries'
The room Is poorly furnished. The body lay ON
small iron bedstead completely covered by sheets,
except the head, which rested on two pillows. The
face is pale, the hair grayer than formerly and the
beard entirely gray. NJ. Gambetta appears fifteen
years older than he really was His friends seemed
utterly beside themselves, some aged men even
weeping There were o few flowers on the foot OF
the bed Otherwise there were none OF he emDleins

streets Yesterday says there real CONSERVATION
in the Bourgeols and tracing quarters. In the
artisan districts there stern indifference among
the groups OF workmen, aud one person was even
exclaimed against for saving that the Republic had

The body of M. Gambetta will be taken to-mor-
row 10 the Palas Bourbon. where 10 will remain
until Friday, when the funeral will take
place. The Lnterment will be in the cemetery

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
A SUMMARY OF STATE INTERESTS.


FINANCES AND TAxATIoS--THE cANALs-HDucA
CIVIL sERvICE REFORM.
Governor Cleveland's first message, sent to tho
Legislature yesterday, is given in full below. 10
begins with an assurance that the States
finances are in a satisfactory condition, but re-
fers to the apparent glaring defects in the
taxation laws or In their execution. The Gov
ernor opposes any enlargement of the canals or
considerable alteration in them until the effect
of the abolition Of tolls has become apparent
lie suggests the establishment, in place of tho
Board OF Canal Appraisers and the Board of
Audit, OF tribunal to hear ard determine all
claims against the State, and favors the sbo-
ltion Of the Office of Auditor of the Canal
Department. He finds the educational inter-
ests OF the State In satisfactory condition,
suggests compulsory examinations of the banks
once or twice year, and that steps be taken
to make the Insurance Department more use-
full and less expensive, and trusts that legisla-
ton and administration affecting the reduced
National Guard will secure greater efficiency
ard discipline.
The Governor objects to the States gaming
profit from convict labor. He thinks that
the emoluments of the Health Officer of the
Port of NewYOrk are altogether too large,
denOunces the burdensome fees illegally COLI
lected by the harbor masters, and suggests
that their duties could be performed by the
Dock Department Of this city. He says that
the question of the saiety of the new Capitol
should be settled at once, and that the build
ing, if safe, should be promptly finished. The
message declares that the appointment and
retention Of civil servants should be based on
fitness and efficiency, and that principle be
embodied in legislative enactments, that citi-
zens should have full responsibility for their
own local government, and that the evils Of the
existing system of primary elections should he
removed bY law

lpY TELEGRAPH TO me TRBUNE.l

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The steel wire manufac
turers are about 10 enter a protest against the
changes proposed by the Tariff Commission which
affect their trado. The Commission proposes to
increase TO / cent a pound the duty on wire
rods the f0rm in which steel from
which wire Is made is imported. 1t Is
now 80 per cent ad valorom. which at the present
price of rods is 4 little more than half cent
pound. At the same time the Commission pro poses
TO reduce the duty on the finished wire.
The present duties were fixed before the Inven-
ton of the Bessemer process. Under it steel
in blooms can be imported to mako rails
very cheaply, while in the form OF
billets or rods the rate is increased many times
The blooms are not available for the establishments
which manufacture wire exclusively. but some OF
the large rail-makiDg establishments have put up
wire works as anncxes and work up the ends cut
of from rails into wire.
The manufacturers Of wire alone say that the re-
concentrations of heCommssOn have been made in
the interest of the Bessemer steel works. and that
the increase on their raw material will make them
dependent upon the American Bessemer establish
Inents for their supplies They do not object to the
reduction of tariff on the finish d wire, provided
that on rods or billets is fixed az TO mako the
