WASHINGTON, July 24--The draping of the
public buildings in honor of General Grant is
about completed. The Capitol building wa.
draped under direction of Colonel Canaday, the
Sergeant-atarms of the Senate, and General
Clark, the Clerk of the House. There is nc
authority for making the expenditures for this
purpose, but ii is expected Congress will make
the necessary appropriation For the present
the draping consists of black around each Of the
pillars with streamers in the porticos and bal.
COMES on all sides of the building In the event
that the remains are brought here, the drapery
of both the outside and inside of the buildings
Will be very elaborate.
The twelve large columns at the front of the
White House ara covered with mourning theiI
entire length with festoons at the base. Fes-
toons extend from column to column at the toD
broad band of black extends the entire length
Of the front of the house, just below the win
dows on the first floor. All the windows in tina
front Of the house are surrounded with mourn
ing emblems
The draping on the State, War and Navy De-
partment building is very simple. Eight of the
small columns at each of the several entrances
have band of black, with streamers. The
Treasury building is the simplest and most taste
fully draped of all the departments. About
1900 yards of black material is used. Each of
the sixty six columns surrounding the building
is covered with q broad black band, extending
three feet above the base Then there is space
of two feet, and another band two feet wide.
Tackled TO these are heavy rOsettes of bunting.
There flags festoons and streamers,
and the effect of the huge columns in plain, deep
mourning is very striking. The two columns at
each corner on the west and east of the build
ing have, in addition, fold Of bunting twisted
around and extending over the other drapery
from halt way up the column to the base There
are ten columns each at the north and south
entrance, and twelve at the west.
The drapery of the Interior Department is
very elaborate. and makes very effective dis
play. The massive pillars on the south portco
are draDed in solid black from the bases one
third Of the way up Streamers of black run
from pillar to pillar, forming testooned canopy
over the passage to the entrance. The doorway
is draped in black in gothic STYLE with rosettes
and the American colors worked in In the in
terror Railways the columns are draped heavily
in black, ard festooned at the ceiling. The ban
nisters and lamp-p0sts are covered with black,
with the American coors entwined.
The Bureau Of Education building, and that
of the Labor Bureau are also handsomely deco
rated.
The Postofice Department building is COW
cred with black at available and effective points
The lamp-posts about the building are also
covered Over the windows are bands of black,
with rosettes and streamers.

Another Pool.

CHICAGO, May 19.-After four hours
session to-day, the general managers of
western and northwestern roads decided
upon basis for the settlement of all
existing differences. The plan proposed
by Vice President Potter, of the Bur
lington road, for series of pools east
of the Missouri river, including a pool
covering the business from junction
points in Nebraska and the Wyoming
and Nebraska cattle traffic was adopted.
By this plan the ''Tripartite pool, COM

st. Paul, Rock Island, Wabash and
Union Pacific, is to be recognized in all
pooling as one line. The differences be.
tween the northwestern roads are ad-
justed by decision to pool milling in

question of percentages and appoint a

WASHINGTON, May Cool. Deahna
formerly collector for Alaska and fol
the last two years special timber agent
of the land Office at Carson City,
Nevada, to-day swore out a warrant in
the police court for the arrest of Com
missioner Sparks, of the land Office, on
the charge of personal assault. Col.
Deahnas's version of the affair is that
he called upon the Commissioner to-day
to secure a settlement of his accounts,
as special agent, which had been sus-
pended with all accounts of other
agents. pending an investigation by the
Commissioner. He was on leave of
absence and told the Commissioner he
was in financial distress, and asked to
have his accounts passed so he might
get his pay which had been withheld
for several months. The Commissioner
impatiently exclaimed that he had no
time to look into individual cases and
ordered the Colonel out of the room.
The Colonel protested against his treat
ment when, he says, the Commissioner
sprang up, seized him by the throat
tore the buttons off his coat and called
upon the messengers to eject him.
The Colonel was elected and went i'm
to the police court and obtain
ed his warrant. He says he carried a
loaded cane with which he could
easily have disabled the commissioner,
but retained from striking him out of
for his family.

Utah or the great west, nor practiced
medicine outside of New York, where
he has been associated with his father
for the past ten years. Anyone using
the name must show some reason that
entities him to do so, or his pretensions
will be challenged. Any one who fraud
ulently and with intent to deceive, uses
a name which does not belong to him,
can hardly be relied upon as safe
counsellor when health and life are at
stake.
The readers of DR.. Foote's works, all
patients who have consulted him by
letter, and the sick generally, are in
vited to call. No charge for consulta-
ton in person or by mail.
DIR. Foote'S visit will be brought to a
close as soon as the object which
brought him here is accomplished.
This unavoidable uncertainty renders
it expedient that those who wish to
avail themselves of this opportunity of
consulting the Doctor, without Incur
ring the expense of visit to New York,
should do so without delay.

An Abusive omciaI.

WASHINGTON, May 9. -Commissioner
Sparks stated in an interview with an
Associated Press reporter that he had
been harrassed for some time past by
the opportunities of Colonel, Deahna to
have his accounts allowed. To-day he
had no time to listen to him and told
him so. When Deahna became abusive,
cursed and swore and was ordered out
of the room. He continued this abuse
and was finally elected, partly through
the Commissioner efforts. When the
matter was made known to Secretary
Lamar, he showed signs of annoyance,
but made no comment.
