IL STILL IN DOUBT.

-. tgendrfckR and Hon. Samuel j, TIL
lor among Those who Suggest that
uo Remain at Washington-The Re-
s,ns of the Deceased to Lie In State
peginning with To-day.
w,sHGNGToN, Nov. 2S.-A considerable
rrmber of Senators, Representatives and
nublic officials, as well as many distin-
rrebed citizens of Washington, have
eoued on the President to urge him TO
roconsder his determination to attend
.no fnneral Of the late Vice President.
Their argument has been not that there
vonld be more than ordinary danger in
volyed in the proposed journey, but that
Me emergency is such that it is his duty
n the country to avoid every possible
risF Of accident to his life and health until
Congress meets and the presidential sue
cession is provided for. Large numbers
Ttelegrams nj to the same effect have been
nonring in upon the President to-day
fror leading men in all sections of the
country. including one from Hon. Samuel
] Tilden. and a number from distin-
gushed friends of the late Vice President.
PLANS OF THE CABINET.
While it is not positively settled, it is
rretty we'll understood that Secretaries
Rsygrd. Whitney, and EndicOtt, and
Postmaster General Villas, Will attend the
mreral of Vice President Hendricks.
Attorney General Garland expected to be
detained by important business before the
United States supreme Court, but as that
tribunal has adjourned over, and as his
annual report is almost completed, 1t Is
now thought that he can also arrange to
attend 1t is not at all likely, however,
that either Secretary Lamar or Secretary
Manning will be able to leave the city.
SECRETARY MANNING BEHIND.
Tbev are both at work on their annual
reports. and tn former has several i'm
portant matters before him which it is
essential should be settled before the meet
ing Of Congress. Secretary Manning is
very much behind with his report, and
will have to work on it night and day in
order to complete it in time. 1t is being
prepared under the general supervision of
Assistant Secretary Fairchild.
A Democratic member of Congress is
the authority for the statement that every
Justice ofthe United States Supreme Court
and every Republican Senator in Wash
ngton has advised the President not to
90 to Indianapolis.
THE PRESIDENT UNDECIDED.
tits understood that the President has
not vet concluded to abandon the trip,
although he said to caller to-day that the
matter was being presented to him in such
a way and from such sources as might in
duce him as question of duty to foregO
his journey.
