WILLIAM ASTOR'S BODY
THE RICH MANS REMAINS BROUGHT
HOME FOR BURIAL.
His Widow and Daughters Accompanied
Then-Mrs. Drayton Met at the Pier
by Her Husband.

New York, May 8.-The remains of
William Astor arrived at O'Clock this
morning on the steamer La Bourgoyne.
The widow, her daughter, Mrs. Orme
Wilson and Mrs. J. Coleman Drayton,
and her son-in-law, Orme Wilson, &C.
companied the remains. The funeral
services will be held in Trinity chapel
Thursday aftern oon. The burial will be
in the Astor vault in Trinity church.
The remains are inclosed in metallic
coffin, set into a black, cloth-covered
casket, which is covered with q white
oak case. The remains were placed in
state room on the main deck, forward,
and the key kept by Captain L..
bouef. The upper berth vas removed
and the casket placed on the lower
berth. Over it was spread a white silk
pail, with large black cross embroid-
cred in the middle. At the top also was
! q small Maltese cross. The walls were
draped with white curtains, with black
crosses. On the flooring were placed
two silk cushions. A single electric
lamp lighted the apartment. The pail
was covered with lockwood and smiiax.
Mrs. Astor had all her meals served
by maid in another stateroom on the
hurricane deck. Mrs. Drayton dined
with the other passengers, sitting at the
captains table.
Mrs. Astor left the room every morn
ing at 10 o'clock. Mrs. Drayton Joined
her, both being dressed in the deepest
mourning and carrying prayer books.
They went to the improvised mortuary
chapel and remained in Sc
clusion for hours. Applications
from the curious to be allowed
to visit the chamber of the dead were
firmly refused by the captain. Mrs.
Drayton's appearance each evening at
dinner caused slight futter among the
American passengers who knew of the
recent scandal.
1t transpires that J. Coleman Drayton
was at the pier to meet the remains, and
as his wife came down the gang plank
he stepped forward and offered her his
arm. Mrs. Drayton neither looked at
nor spoke to her husband, but gently
laid her hand upon his arm, and with
him followed her mother to carriage.
All was very quickly and quietly done.
Few people were on the deck at the time
and the meeting between Mr.. and Mrs.
Drayton attracted little attention.

Matters of National Interest to Figure
In the Senate---Appropriatio Bills
Before the House.

WASHINGTON, May S.-The house will
be engaged in the consideration OF ap.
preparation bills most of the week, in
all probability.
In the senate certain matters of ma
tional interest are to figure, among 9TH
ers the Choctaw and Chickasaw claim
bill. A vote upon the amendment au-
thorizing the payment to the Indians of

The naval appropriation bill will be
called up for consideration Tuesday.
At the earliest opportunity Frye. by
instruction of the commerce committee.
will report the house bill to encourage
American ship-building, which provides
kfor me admission TO American registry
| OF Inman line steamers. An effort will
doubtless be made to secure immediate
action on the bill, and the bill will
thereby give rise to probably long
and heated discussion, and it is ex.
pected the question of free ships and
protection to American ship-builders
will come up.
The bill providing for the punishment
of the violators of the treaty rights of
aliens, will be brought up by the COM
mittee on foreign relations at the first
opportunity, and will likely give rise to
much debate, involving as it does, the
questions of national and state sover-
eighty.
If the senate takes up the calendar
during the week the first bill will be
that providing for Notifications and
other seacoast defenses, and with it may
be considered the bill making an appro-
priation for the purchase of sites for for
tifications.
Morgan has given notice of bis inten-
tion to speak on the presidents commu-
nication relative to an international
monetary conference, which is on the
presiding officers desk, and probably
the opportunity will be utilized by the
senators interested in the silver ques-
tion to set forth their views upon this
phase of it.. sfa5
The sundry civil bill will probably be
taken up in the house tomorrow, and
its consideration will require several
days.
An effort will be made to secure con-
sideration for the apti-options bill as
soon as the sundry civil bill is disposed
Of, but the anti-options bill is vigorously
opposed by many members, who will
use every endeavor to keep it in the
background.
The Notifications and poutofice ap-
preparation bills are also on the calen-
dar.
Only three regular annual appropria-
ton bills remain to be reported to the
house-the legislative, executive and
judicial, the agricultural, and the de-
ficiencv hills.
