 WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 28.-President Arthur did not come into the executive man sion to-day, but remained at the Soldiers Home cottage for the purpose of completing his annual message There was no meeting of the Cabinet to-day. Trains arriving here to-day brought a large number of Congress- men, It is thought that @ quorum will be present on Monday and that if desirable bus mess can be proceeded with at once. It is not probable, however, that anything will be done on that day except to hear the reading of the Presidents message. The House Committee on Appropriations will be in ses- sion on Monday morning to receive reports of the subcommittee, two or three of which it is thought will be ready to sub init bills at that time. The members who have arrived since Wednesday appear to entertain views similar to those of their colleagues who reached here earlier and were reported as thinking that little business beyond the passage of the regular appropria- tions will be attempted during session. The general desire is to get through as easily as possible with pressing business and wait until the assembling of the Forty-ninth Congress for the consideration of the tariff and other matters of general inn portance which will necessarily involve ex- tended debate.

DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL. The Charges Made Against Tea En-
 SpeetOf Davis.

BOSTON, Nov. 2S.-A Washington special to the Record says: Assistant Secretary Coon this morning completed and handed to Secretary MeCu1loch the results of the inves- tigation which he has made into the charges against Theodore Davis, tea inspector at New York. Davis is accused of black mailing six Boston tea inn porting firms out of one hundred dollars each, which they paid rather than subject themselves to the annoyance which he would be able to infict upon them. Secretary McCulIoch said to the Record correspondent this forenoon that he did not think it best that the names of the Boston houses should be made known until he decided the case, which he expects to do in two or three days. In admitting that he received tho money, Davis says it was for pay as a lobbyist in getting tea legislation through Congress. This will not help him much, at the Secre- tary's hands especially. as the evidence brought to MT Coons notice is said to be sufficient to have caused him to recommend Davis dismissal Davis is a New York politician who was appointed by Judge Fol

 ALBANY, Nov. Ex-Governor Cleveland was very busy to-day in executive affairs and had but very little time to devote to callers. During the day he received visits from Hon. John c. Underwood of Kentucky, Congress man Bagley, J. W. Doane of Chicago, P. H. Kelly of St. Paul, and G. M. Hurd of New York. The Governor also had brief confer ences with Dairy Commissioner Brown, Ad- iutant General Farnsworth and other State officers on official business connected with their departments. No arrangements of any kind have as yet been made as to the trip to Washington for the inauguration or anything concluded about national matters. The Governor will devote his attention to the duties of his office here with the same care and attention he has exhibited during the past two years until the time comes for his resignation, deeming it time enough to think of other duties and cares when he shall be relieved from those at present pressing on his attention.
