A Cleveland Sensation.

ALBNST, y. Y, Jan. 29.-What appeared
to be a sensational paragraph was printed In
the Journal this evening. II was TO the effect
that President elect Cleveland was visited
late last night by ex-Spesker Randall. in re-
sponse 10 letter Of invitation
sent him at Washington. Imme-
diately after his arrival here, Randall
was driven to Cleveland's Temporary
abode, where the two men held a conference
lasting several hours. This morning the
talk was resumed, and at its conclusion Ran
dali returned 10 New York. Speaker Carlisle
IS also mentioned as having been invited by
Clevelsad, and Is expected to arrive Saturday
morning. Col. D. s. Lamont, private secre-
tsry Of the president elect, eorroborztes the
statement that Randall was here and in con-
sultaiion with the president elect and that
Carlisle is expected, bat beyond that va, ex-
tremely re;Ieent Rumor has it that the
president elect is not satisfied With the way
things Are going on in congress snd wants
Randall and Carlisle to adopt some fresh and
vigorous policy. OF course nobody has the
s3allrs; particle Of information as TO what
took place between Cleveland and Randall.

Remembering Stokes Crime.


New YORK, Jan. 29.-There has been
much gossip here over the reported rivalry
between the Fifth Avenue hotel and the
Hoffman house as to which should get Presi-
dent elect Cleveland as a guest when he
comes to this city next week. The Demo-
cratic managers here decided that the presi-
dent elect shall stop at the Fifth avenue
hotel, and Ed Stokes, one of the propretors
of the Hoffman, is mad. He does not see
the reason for the refusal Of Mr.. Cleyeland's
friends to allow him to stay at the Hoffman,
but the secret is generally understood by the
public, who remember terrible tragedy in
which Mr.. Stokes figured, the killing of Jim
Fisk. The memory of his crime has not been
forgotten, and explains why Mr.. Cleveland's
quarters have been secured elsewhere.

HOW LEE DIED.

The theatrical death, Parson
Newman gush, and sensational fu-
neral of Grant, was in striking
contrast to the quiet passing away
of Robert E. Lee, who was as
great in war and as noble in peace.
Hon. VIM. Preston Johnston, who
was an witness, writes of the
death of Lee:
On Wednesday, Sept. %, 1870,
the beginning of the end came. In
the morning of that day he was
busy, as usual, with official work,
refusing the assistance of which he
sometimes availed himself; and in
the afternoon attended a vestry
meeting of Grace Episcopal church.
He acted as chairman, and enliven-
ed the meeting with cheerful con-
versation and interesting anecdotes.
The weather was chilly and damp,
the room not warm "a, and General
Lee sat with his military cloak
thrown around his shoulders. HIS
last public act was eminent1y char
acteristic. The question under dis
cusslon was the rectors salary, and
when the subscriptions were hand
ed in it was found that a deficit of
500 still remained. He remarked
quietly, Il will give that sum-
and the company separated, little
dreaming that the most illustrious
member would never join them
again. Returning home, tea was
on, the table, and, according to his
invariable habit, he stood up to say
grace. But the lips refused to
speak, and he sat down without
showing any signs Of agitation,
though the expression Of his face
told plainly enough that he real
lied what the dumb lips meant
Physicians were promptly summon
ed, and he was laid on the bed
from which he never rose alive.
The case was treated as one of We
nous congestion of the brain, but
there was no paralysis of motion or
sensation, and only slightly i'm
paired consciousness. A fatal ter
mination was not anticipated by
any one, except the patient. He
seemed to feel from the first that
he would not recover, and nantes
ted not the slightest desire to do
so. When his son, Gusts, spoke OF
recovery as probable, he shook his
head and pointed upward. Some
persistence was required to induce
him to take medicine. The mind
wandered occasionally, and at one
of these times he exclaimed, "Strike
the tent" and at another "Tell
Hill he must come up!" showing
that thoughts of. the great soldier
were far away from the sick room,
in the midst of the toilsome march
and the fercer scenes of battle.
There was no suffering at the close;
simply gentle falling into that
sleep which knows no waking.
