MOTIONS RESOLUTIONS & NOTICES.
AS per order, Mr., Foley moved
to reconsider the vote on the Reso-
luton granting leave Of absence to
Charles Chenowith. The Senator
said that by the action taken by the
Assembly, the Resolution amount
ed to nothing. Several motion,
were made to unravel'the snarl arts
ing from the complicated action of
the two Houses.
Mr.. Parker again stated that

1t must be done by bill.
Mr. Smyth thought it only cour-
tesy to the other House to pass the |
Resolution.
Mr.. Poujade took the same view. |
Mr.. Foley thought courtesy did |
not demand making the Senate rid

Mr.. Westerfield agreed with the
opinion of Mr.. Parker.
Mr.. Dennis said he voted for the
Resolution yesterday a. a personal

Prof. Baird SURPRISED.

WHAT HE SAYS OF THE PUBLISHED STORY OF
HIS INTENTION TO RESIGN AS SECRETARY OF
THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION.
Prof. Spencer F. Baird, the secretary of the
smithsonian Institution, was perhaps the most
surprised man in this city when he read In a
morning paper that he was going to resign his
present position in order to accept a profes-
sorship in Yale college.
II can't imagine" he said this morning to a
SIAk reporter, show such an article came to be
Wrltten and then printed. 1t is, of course, en-
tirely without foundation, and at the same
ume absurd. The two positions are not ofequal
importance. They might as well have said that
the PRESIDENT of the United States was going to
resign IN order to take the position of collector
TO be provoked by the publication, but sup
pose that 1t doesn't pay to get into
ngnt with the newspapers. The article is
written In such a matter of fact way
II II was not rather late for such publications.
II Is rather complimentary to me; more than
deserve. and there is Hilgard-I imagine he
won't like that sort OF promotion any more
IMAM would going to Yale. His salary is the
same as mine, and l suppose he would not
think he was gaining in dignity by the trans
fer can imagine what the motive of such
a publlcation could be or what could suggest it.
There has been no call issued for special
meeting of the regents and none is contern-
plated as far as know 1t is not right to print
such things without first verifying them. l
suppose that will receive q perfect deluge of
letters now asking about it. Tdon't remember

COUNT WILL SHOW.
The police made very satisfactory beginning
yesterday in the work Of taking the census.
One officer in the fifth precinct completed two
thickly populated squares during his hours Of
duty. Some delays now and then are caused
by the unwillingness of ignorant people, who
cannot understand why the Information is
wanted, to answer questions. One officer said
to STAR reporter that he met most delay from
inquisitive women, who cheerfully answered
upon the officer with a hundred interroga-
tories as to what it all meant, and
what was to be done. Chief of Police Dye said
to the reporter that he believed the census
would show large growth of population since
1880, and that the present population was over
100000. From his own observation he was
convinced there were constant additions to the
colored population by immigration from the
surrounding country. In administering the
poor fund he found almost invariably the case
that applicants for relief stated that they had
come to the city within year or two. As to
the general growth of the city, he thought the
rapid extension of building operations into the
suburbs gave evidence of that,

GEN. GRANT APPEARS AT THE WINDOW
At II O'Clock, the draperies behind the part
OF the generals window toward the park were
pushed aside, and the general himself stepped
close to the window pane. He was attired in q
dark suit of clothes; on his head was the black
skull cap. and about his neck was folded a red
silk handkerchief. His face was not pale; but
it wore strained expression that was almost
pitiful. He stood erect without support
save OF his cane, which he held in the right
hand, with the left hand clasped upon the coat
lapel The white cuff relieved the dark attire,
the handkerchief adding q bit of color. The
generals gaze at first was toward the park, and,

caps. Glancing at length, and leisurely, down
to the sidewalk, near his house he saw q group

the officer and reporters saluted the general,
