WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington, Jan. 20, 1898.
The President was unable to attend
the funeral of ex-President Hayes, but
the administration was represented by
Secretaries Charles Foster, Ru SIX and
Noble, and Postmaster General Wanna
maker. The President was very much
shocked by the news of Gen. Hayes
deg tn, as he appeared to be in perfect
health when he saw him last, which was
at Mrs. Harrison's funeral, last fall. AS
a tribute of respect to the memory OF the
dead ex-President. of whom none but
kind words are spoken in Washington,
by men of all political parties, the White
House and all the executive departments
are closed today, and the White House
and department buildings are all draped
in mourning, and will fly their flags at
halt-mast for thirty days. In addition
to the members of the cabinet detail of
prominent army and navy officers at
tended the funeral to represent those
branches OF the government.
What Ohio democrats thought of Gen.
Hayes may be judged by the remarks of
two OF them-Senator Brice and Repre-
seutatiye Cultivate. Said Senator
Brice: II will, at the proper time ION
the floor OF the senate. pay my tribute
to the worth of Gen. Hayes as man,
citizen and public official. 1 was,
with his other Ohio friends, proud of his
record, his bravery and ability as
soldier. his noble and faithful service as
member OF congress, his dignifed, judi
cious and satisfactory handling of affairs
as governor of Ohio, and of his temper
ate manag ement of his administration as
President, an administration which 1
can now see soitened the asperities
growing out OF the civil war and led 10
that perfect union, blessing which we
are now enjoying" Mr. Outhwaite
said: 1.-THE democrats of Ohio always
regarden him as conscientious man, a
patriotic man and a man devoted TO the
interests OF the state and country. That
he was held in high esteem by the state
generally was shown by his election
three times to be governor. His record
as a soldier in the war for the union was
one of the best, and his administra ton
as president was pure, patriots, and
always tor the best interests of the c:t;a-
try" When such words are spoken of a
man by his political opponents, language
fails to express the esteem of his political
friends and associates
The Joint resolution providing for the
election of senator's by popular vote was
railroaded through the house underSa
suspension of the rules, against the pro-
tests otthe republicans. who pointed out
serious defects in the measure; but such
methods will not prevail in the senate,
at least not at this session, and If the
resolution is adopted by the senate,
which is very, very doubtful, it will not
be until those defects are remedied.
A caucus Of republican senator's was to
have been held this week at Senator
Sherlnan's house, to consider the husi-
ness to be taken up, aside from the
regular appropriation bills, but 1T was
postponed on account of the death of
Gen. Hayes, and will probably not be
held until next week.
Although bills have been favorably re-
ported to both house and senate provld-
ing for suspension of the purchase OF
silver by the government, and the corri-
doris of the capitol and of the hotels are
full OF talk about silver legislation it is
not likely that there will be any silver
legislation at this session. There are
enough silver senator's who can nett ner
be cajoled nor bulldozed by Mr.. Cleve-
land to prevent the repeal of the present
silver law, and those democrats who
have been influenced by Mr.. Cleveland 20
promise to vote for its repeal will not be
sorry to see them do it, in fact many
will help. on the sly.
Naval officers smile over the ridiculous
stories in some of the big newspapers
about Hayti defying the United States.
why" said Que of them, any of our
new warships could in an hour or so sink
the entire Haytian navy and batter
down their alleged forts" The secre-
tary of state has demanded reparation
for the causeless arrest OF an American
citizen, and reparation will have to be
made by Hayti. That is all there is to
the matter.
Democrats in the house are making a
determined attack on the civil service
law, which stands between them and SO
many OF the minor public offices. Sever
al bills have been introduced, all with
one object-to put democrats in all the
Offices.
