WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-Coming so soon
after the sudden death of Gen. Butler,
and the sad ending of Senator Kenna, the
demise of ex-President Hayes created
something of a shock to people in official
life here, and many incidents are recalled
of the last visit of the ex-President to
Washington in September during the an
nual encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic.
Flags are flying at half-mast to-day on
all public buildings in Washington. Pres
ident Harrison received the news of his
predecessors death with considerable sur

The Executive Order.
At a special meeting of the Cabinet the
| following Executive der was drafted
and adopted:
TO the people Of the United States:
The death of Rutherford 3. Hayes, who
| was president of the United States from
| March 4, 1871, to March 4, 1881, at his
| home in Fremont, Ohio, is an event the
announcement Of which will be received
with very general and very sincere sor-
row.
His public service extended over many
| years and over wide range of official
| duty. He was patriotic citizen, lover
! of the flag and of our free institutions,
an industrious and conscientious civil
| officer, a soldier OF dauntless courage, a
| loyal comrade and friend, sympathetic
and helpful neighbor and the honored
head of a Christian home. He has
steadily grown in the public esteem and
the impartial historian will not fail to
recognize the conscientiousness, the man
