THE PRESIDENT.ELECT.
His Future Movements,
TAlbany spec1al.1

Gov. Cleveland will resign his Office Jan.
6, and go to Buffalo on the 9Th. On the
9th he will attenda charity ball at the Gen.
esee House, Buffalo, aud then return to this
city, where he will remain until he goes to
Washington. He has already engaged
rooms, and after the 9th of January will be
at home to oil his fellow citizens. 1t is
generally understood here, as elsewhere,
that Senator Bayard may have a place in
the Cabinet. but the President elect has not
yet determined whom else he will invite to
his council board. He will probably take
three members of the Cabinet from the
East, two from the South, and two from
the Northwest OF the two from the North
west Indiana will furnish one and Illinois
or Wisconsin the other.
President-elec Cleveland is much inter-
ested in the probable result of the Illinois
Senatorial contest, but while freely express
ing the hope that Democrat may be elected
he carefully refuses to express preference
for either of the Democrats who have
been named as candidates for the Office

Senators Bayard and Garland, says a
Washington correspondent, have been urged
not to accept places I'm the Cabinet on the
ground that their experience and ability win
be needed In the Senate to support the ad-
ministration against the Republican ma
jority.
It is said that the House Appropria-
items Committee will disregard the naval
bill just passed by the Senate, and will
frame regular bill for the next fiscal year.
If the Senate does not accept this, an extra
session of Congress will be unavoidable.
The expense of the protracted Swain
courtmartial In Washington is reaching u
very large figure.
Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan is confined to
his house by illness, which, though serious, is
said not to be dangerous Heis suffering from
arrangement of the stomach, and his physi
clan has ordered him to remain at home and
rest.
Secretary Frelinghuysen has sent to
the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations a
letter stating that the negotiation OF the
Spanish treaty was undertaken in accord
ance with policy which had received Con-
gress!onal sanction. lie declares that there
Is no thought of the annexation of Cuba, but
that the treaty will give us all the benefits of
such absorption. He then argues against
the objections Of the sugar and tobacco in
terests.

Cremation.

There are several processes used for
cremation. The Semens furnace,
which has been adopted by the advo-
Gates of this mode of disposing of the
dead in Germany, England, and elsc-
where, is probably the best known.
The body is placed in an oblong brick
or iron-cased chamber, under which is
furnace. The air of the chamber is
raised to very high temperature be-
fore the body is put in, and stream of
heated hydro-carbon, from gasometer,
is then admitted, which on contact with
intensely heated air within Immediately
bursts into flame. The chamber is, of
course, so constructed as neither to
admit draughts of air from without nor
to permit the escape of gases from
within. The noxious gases which are
evolved in the beginning of the combus-
ton process are passed through flue
into second furnace, where they are
entirely consumed. BY this process
n body weighing la pounds can be re-
duced in about fifty minutes to not
more than four pounds of lime-dust.
The cost of constructing one of these
furnaces is considerable, probably about
$1,000, but when built one could serve
the purposes of cremating nnmberless
bodies. In each individual process, not
more than 200 pounds of fuel is re-
CURED, the cost of which would vary
greatly in different localities in this
country, but would probably seldom
exceed 50. Cremation was the common
practice of the ancient Greeks, and has
been the custom of some of the Asiatic
nations, notably the Siamese, the Bur
mese, and the Hindoos from remotest
times to the present The method pur-
sued by these nations is usually the
crude one of burning the body on a pile
of wood, or other fuel. Closed incin-
orators have been constructed by order
of the British Government in many
towns of India, with the double object
of reducing the expense and the offen-
siveness of the operation. There has
always been much prejudice against
cremation among Christian nations, but
with the advance of scientific knowledge
it has been greatly lessened in modern
times, and the advocates of the practice
are now so numerous in several Europe
an countries, that the authorities usu-
ally permit it in any case where it is
preferred to the usual method of buri-
al. There are now associations in Chi
cago which propose soon to construct
furnaces for the cremation of human
bodies. Ocean.

Here is an increase Of over II per cent. In
the total number Of failures for 1884, as
against 1888, probable gain of A per cent.
In assets and of 81 per cent in liabilities.
The total number Of bank failures this year
is 121, against As last year, or one and three
quarter times as many as in 1888; of which
national bank failures have increased from
to IL, State Lrnks from to %, and savings
banks from to IL. OF the l2l bank failures
reported for 1884, the number which
(so far as known) may be ascribed to
speculation direct or indirect within them or
on the part OF those indebted TO them is 67, or
over one-half. For the nine months ended
Sept. 81 the total number of speculative
failures of banks was IS, of which 20 were
of stock-broking "bankers," Is were due to
frauds or embellishments based on appropria-
tons of the banks funds for the purpose of
specializing, and were caused by being
large creditors of those who failed owing to
unfortunate spcculations.
There were 278 failures in the United
States reported to Brddstfycts during the
week, against 3o5 in the preceding week, and
260, 242, and l61 in the corresponding weeks
Of 1883, 1882, and 1881, respectively. About
so per cent. were those Of small deal
ers, whose capital was less than So

were as follows: General stores, 81; grocers,

to Albany and called on Gov. Cleveland.
The Governor stood while the spokesman of
the delegation rehcarsed the services of Mr..
Barnum in the cause of the Democratic
party of Connecticut and the nation. The
President-elect gave the,delegation no reason
to believe that he would call Mr.. Barnum or

A NEW form 4

A NEW form Of paving has been in
use in Berlin since last year. Layers
of brick have been put down impreg-
mated with asphalt. After time they
absorb from 10 TO 20 per cent. of the
bituminous matter, becoming reniarka-
bly, elastic and capable of resisting
pressure and damp. This new paving,
IL is said, lasts much longer than any Of
the other kinds, and it offors q sure
foothold to horses.
