February 9Th, Rutherford b. Hayes
was, at last. on March 2d, declared
duly elected President of the Uni
ted States.
The Cabinet that lie appointed
consisted OF William NJ. Eyarts,
Secretary of State; John sherman.
Secretary Of the Treasury; Geo. w.
McCreary, Secretary of War; Bich-
ard w. Thompson, Secretary OF the
Navy; David NJ. Key, Postmaster
General; Charles Devens. Attorney
General; Carl SEIZURE, Secretary of
the Interior.
The Administration began under
very unfavorable circumstances, as
general business stagnation and Sc
we're distress had prevailed through
out the country since the crash Of
1873.
The disputes between rival Gov
errors in South Carolina and Louis
iapa were settled by seating Wade
Hampton, and Francis Il. Nichols,
both Democrats, and President
Hayes withdrew the Federal troops
from the State House OF. South Car
DINA April /, 1877, and from the
State House of Louisiana, April 20,
1877. His course in this matter
was heartily approved by large
majority, both North and South.
His policy, however, was severely
criticised by some Republican pol
iticians.
On March l, 1879, President
Hayes vetoed the bill to restrict the
immigration of Chinese to the Uni
ted States. President Hayes on
March 4, 1879, called an extra Sos
sion of Congress to meet on March
18th. This was done because the
last Congress had failed to pass the
necessary appropriation bills.
The Administration of President
Hayes, though attacked by the polI.
ticlahs of both parties, was salts
factory to the people at large. On
the expiration of his term, ex-
President Hayes retired to his home
at Fremont, Ohio.
Much of his time was devoted to
benevolent and useful enterprises.
He was commander Of the military
order of the Loyal Legion, Presl-
dent of the National Prison Reform
Association and "a trustee of the
Peabody Fund.
The death Of his wife not long
since was a severe blow to him, and
he never fully recovered from it,
dying very suddenly of heart dis
ease at his home in Fremont, OHIO,
Tuesday, January ~, 1893, aged
20 years, 3 months and 3 days.
On the crest of a snow-clad slope,
by TIE side of his beloved wife, the
bier surrounded by his children, a

President Harrison's Cabinet, rep

Of the United States, delegates from

tary commands, the remains of ex-
President Rutherford b. Hayes
were laid to rest.
General Hayes's remains were
viewed by thousands previous to the
funeral services. Across his breast
was the tri colored ribbon Of the
Loyal Legion, with the insignia Of
the same, while on his breast was
the badge of the Army Of West
Virginia. A spray Of graceful palms
alone rested on the caskot, while on
a nag-covered table we're the many
floral emblems which arrived from
every dart Of the country.

SMALLPOX.
MONTREAL GREATLY FElRS THE
AWFUL DISEASE.
The Hospital Accommod ations Are Very
Poor, and No Means Are at Hand for
Caring for the Sick

MONTREAL, March 23 The arrival OF a
smallpox infested steamer from China
at Victoria, B. c.. has occasioned the
gravest alarm here.
IL is notorious fact that the city Of
Victoria has no facilities for fighting the
dis, ase.
The quarantine station is badly
equipped and mostineiiicient, aud prim-
tive in every respect.
There are only ten beds In the hospital
ana the staff is very small.
There ~ no water within two miles of
the quarantine station, and the wharf ac-
comm odation aud disinfectant apparatus
are ia bad shape.
In fact the quarantine AS it is at pres
ent is hardly any use In cass OF an epi-
demic.
The last report made by the superin-
tendent Of the station To tne Ottawa gov
ernment at the beginning of the present
year says among other things: II have
no bichioride sprinkler, nor 8 cam cham
ber, and should the mail steamer
next expected have disease on
board, l should have nothing To do but
anchor and detain her on the old fash
ioned quarantine plan, as there is no
room Ia the hospital tor more patients or
suspects, and IT would be impossible to
put hem under canvass this inclement
weather The water supply is altogether
Inadequate.
Traffic in this place with the frequent
eyasions of smallpox has created very
uneasy feeling In the public mind, not
only or Vancouver Island, b ut OF the
main land OF British Columbia"

POSTOFFICE APPOINTMENTS.
\ Missouri Delegation Interviews the
Postmaster General on the Subject.


Postm aster General on the Subject.
WASHINGTON, March %. - Postmaster
General Bissell had five Missouri congress
men, headed by Bland, among his callers
Yesterday. They asked about the truth of
the frequently reiterated assertion that
congressional influence would count for
very little in the selection of postmasters.
Mr.. Bissell denied having made such a
tatement. Mr.. Bland then supposed a
case where there were six applicants for
postoffice and recommended by a number
Of reputable citizens of the town. Would
she place, he asked, go to the man having
the endorsement of the congressman from
the district The postmaster general re-
used to answer a hypothetical question
and said he would not decide until an
actual case OF the sort arose. The fact that
not postmaster had been appointed up to
date who had not the congressional en-
dorsement would answer the question To a
large extent. At the same time, he added.
ne was in office TO carry out the will
Of the people, and their voice, when clearly
expressed as to the candidate they wished.
should and would have great weight The
postmaster general also denied the printed
report that no women and no newspaper
men would be appointed postmasters,
which 1t was hardly necessary for him to
,eny in view of the fact that several news
paper men have already been nominated
and that a woman's name was among the
list of postmasters nominated yesterday

ternoon in discussing the bill constituting
10 hours in IL days work for all conduc-
tors, drivers and motormen on street rail-

Senator Green were opposed by the friends
of the bill, on the ground that it would
make it of little or no effect, and were de-
feated. Then the opponents of the meas
ure indulged in filibustering with a post

no use and the bill was ordered to third

imprisoned for more than 20 days for non
payment Of poll tax.

itions; to reduce the amount for which

WASHINGTON, March %. - Max Judd,
dominated for consul general at Vienna, is
)ne OF the wealthiest Jews Of ST. Louis.
He is a man Of high education, cultured
and refined. He was endorsed for the
place by the leading business men, regard
less of party or religion. He was born in
Austria, but came TO this country as a
child. He is a representative man OF his
taith in the west. IL will he remembered
that the Austrian court eight years ago
declared Mr.. Kelley Of Richmond, ap-
pointed minister TO that country, persona

OF course the persona non grata princi-
pie cannot be applied 10 n consular official

consul general M Vienna. the object can
De attained by Withholding his exequatur,

Judd Is not only n Jew, but native OF
Austria, and European countries do not
like TO receive anyone who was born sub
,ect He certainly would not be received
IN a diplomatic relation. though he may be
permitted TO serve in consular capacity.
