CHARITY FOR SOUTH DAKor4.
Governor Mellette Wants Chicago to Rails
$4,000 for the Destitute People of hi

Governor Mellette Wants Chicago to Raise
10000 for the Destitute People Of his
State.
CHICAGO. Feb. 4.-The Chicago board of
trade directors to-day decided to appoint
committee of three to canvass for subscrip-
tions to buy seed for destitute farmers in
South Dakota. The action was taken on
receipt of a communication from Governor
Mellette Of that state saying that in nine
teen counties such relief was badly needed.
The state cannot appropriate money or
levy taxes for this purpose. owing to the
constitutional provisions which practically
bar it,and some of the counties are similar
~ situated. Governor Mellette is endeav-
oring to raise fund of ,$5OO00. The
cities OF st. Paul and Minneapolis expressed
their readiness 10 contribute $1,000 each
and the governor asks for $4,000
from % Chicago. tlalf ~ Of the
$4,000 Governor Mellette expects to
raise within the limits of South Dakota.
He believes the action proposed will be the
means of retaining 1000 families in South
Dakota who would otherwise be compelled
to leave the state under circumstances OF
increased destltution &,s.4 + &,,,

In the House,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.--rhal the demo-
Gratis did not consider themselves yet van
quished, and that they proposed to throw
in the way every obstacle to the transac-
tion of business, until some rules were
adopted for the government Of the house,
was shown by their demand for the read
ing of yesterdays journal in full. How
ever, the clerk read this document with
such rapidity, that the task consumed q
little more than half all hour. The
usual dispute over the journal arose,
but it was approved: yeas. 1853, a
quorum being counted. The speaker then
laid before the house various senate bills
for reference, and among them was one to
relieve the treasurer of the United States
from the amount now charged to him and
deposited with the several states. This bill
was referred under the rules to committee
ways and means. The speaker ruled out
all dilatory motions to adjourn, until late
in the day, when, on motion of Mckinley,
the house adjourned. 1t is expected that
the code of rules will be reported to-mor-

The Last Tribute.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The beautiful
historic east room of the executive man
sion, the scene of SO many varied Specta-
cles Of brilliant ceremony or social gayety.
was to-day devoted to the sadly cOntrasttd
and solemnlv impressive purpose of a fun
eral. Very seldom has any similar scene
been witnessed at the White House, and
lancntei Lincoln reposed amid the same
surroundings. The services over the re-
mains of the wife and daughter of the sec
retary of the navy We're appointed for II
o'clock, but long before that hour the east
room was crowded with people dcsir0us of
paying their last tribute to their departed
friends. 1t was most distinguished gath
ering and included nearly everybody of
prominence in Washington. The caskets
containing the dead were placed side by
side under the central chandelier and di
rectly opposite the main corridor. They
were distinguiShable only by the greater
size of the one containing the body of Mrs.
Tracy.
\ LARGE SA(iO PALM,
with graceful spreading branches was
placed between them at the foot. The
sombre drapings of the caskets were ell
tirely concealed by beautiful designs OF
emblematic flowers, white roses, camelias,
hyacinths, lilies of the valley, etc. Gar
lands and wreaths were also banked
against the sides of the caskets. Shortly
before II o'clock, the Schubert quartette,
stationed just within the enteranc to the
east room from the main corridor, sang
the hymn, Il Cannot Always Trace the
Way Members of the cabinet, with the
exception of Secretary Blaine, acting as
the pail bearers, soon after entered and
took seats at the right Of the caskets.
They were soon followed by the funeral
procession, Secretary Tracy and his son
Frank, walking arm-ill-arm at the head.
They were followed by Gen. /. S. Cattlin,
Mr.. A. B. Cattlin, Mr.. Robert Graves and
daughter, and other relatives A short
space behind them came President
and Mrs. Harrison, Mr. and Mrs'
Mckee, Secretary and Mrs. Blaine.
Rev. DR.. Scott. the presidents father-in-
law, Mr.. H. B. Raymond, Lieut. Mason and
=. Ii. Halford. The services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Dr. Douglas, of st. Johns
protestent Episcopal church, and Rev.
George Elliott. The bodies were removed
to the hearses and the funeral procession
was formed, the cortege moving slowly to
Rock Creek cemetery, just beyond the
soldiers home, where the bodies were
placed in the receiving vault to await Sec
retary Tracv's determination in regard to
their permanent resting place. Secretary
Tracy did not go to the cemetery, as it was
feared the task might be too much for his

tend their caucus They appeared in good
numbers and were presided over by Mr..
Holman. The only object discussed was
the new code of rules. The democrats
were at disadvantage in that the. men,
bers were not supplied with copies as were
the in !ividual republicans to-day. So Mr..
Carlisle was obliged to read and explain
rules from his private copy. Naturally
this was Slow work, aud most of the ses-
sion OF tme caucus was consumed in this
way. There was little discussion. Now
over with indignation and express him
self torcibly as some particularly obnOX-
l0uS rule was read and its effect pointed
out. General sentiment was, that no mat
ter now obnoxious the rules were, they
were asked for by democrats and would bt.

accordingly instructed to negotiate with
the majority managers for 4 proper and
reasonable time to consider the rules in
case they should be reported to-mOrrow.in-

Considering the Rules.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The house spent
only few minutes in session on account
of the funeral of Mrs. Tracy and daughter.
The only business done was the approval
of the journal, which was had by the
speaker counting a quorum. The republi-
Cans held a caucus this afternoon to con-
slider the report of the committee on rules
The caucus was called to order immedi-
ately after the adjournment of the house.
Each member present was furnished in
confidence with copy of the new code.
Mckinley then took the floor to explain
various changes and give reasons therefor.
He was aided by others. Generally the re-
port of the committee was adopted, but
pension legislation was placed in the priv
lleGed class and the reports from the COM
mittee on invalid pensions were made the
order at any time. Among the methods OF
preventing lilibustering is The rule that mo
dilatory motions shall be entertained by
adopted to serve the same end A two-thirds
vote is required to suspend any rule. The
caucus remained IN session until 7 O'clock.
The most inviolabie secrecy in regard to
the proceedings was preserved aud every
effort was made to prevent the action Of
!ne caucus from DeliG maze puDllc. Whlle
1t was stated that on every question pre-
sented the caucus was harmonious, the
length of the session and the known Oppu-
sition Of several Of the republicans to any
change in the rules, render the accuracy of
the statement doubtful In fact, it has
been gathered that, far from being harmo-
nlous, the caucus was at one time strongly
worked up by the expression of totally
divergent opinions, and that this PROPOSE
IiOn is more probable one is evidenced
by the great care which was taken to pre-
vent the facts being known.
