WASHINGTON. Jan. Is. 1893.
The announcement Of the death OF ex-
President r. l.. Hayes in the morning
papers prevented fertile source of con-
versation this morning. and the members
Of the House discussed the probabilities
Of an adjournment In respect to the occa-
sion. There was some business Of i'm
portance though. such as the bin for the
Court Of Appeals Of the District Of CO.
lumbia, and its friends seemed TO want
that passed a. little more than they de-
sired TO hear eulogies about Mr.. Hayes.
About o'clock the announcement came,
and. beginning with Representative
Haynes, almost the entire Ohio deega-
ton opened up n perfect harvest OF
poorly ground eulogistic sentences. among
which there was about as much Chaff
as wheat The members soon began leav-
Ing the hall, as the average congressman
knows the talks are intended for the
Congressional Record and does not gem
orally waste much time In listening TO
them.
Messrs J. Taylor Ellyson and Wynd-
ham X. Meredith were al the Capitol
this morning With a view Of obtaining
few orators for the banquet on the 18th.
They were unable 10 secure Hon. Bourke
Cochran. as that gentleman, unfortu-
nately. had a previous engagement in
New York. Hon. private John VI.
Allen. OF Mississippi. has. however, con-
sented TO speak, and there will be no
lack OF brilliant entertainment so Tar
as this address goes.
Mr. George ID Wise appeared before
ths House Naval Committee yesterday
and argued I'm favor Of his bill, providing
for the placing " Mr.. John ". Blanken-
ship. OF Richmond, upon the retired list
OF the Navy. NT. blankenshlp was ap-
pointed several years ago to the Naval
Academy. and after four years Of study
and Of service. ne was found physically
unable 10 continue in the service. Mr..
Wise stated all OF the circumstances 10
the committee. and undoubtedly the bill
will be fl,orahly reported. Mr. Wise has
secured the appointment Of Henry Mayo,
son of Nr William c. Mayo, Of Rich
mond % the naval cadetship at Anna
polls. Nr. Mayo has been preparing at
I.eNi rton for this place for several
months.
The speedy favorable report Of the Sen
ate Committee On the bill repeating the
Sherman silver purchase law has served
t. arouse some misgiVings among
the silver men OF the House. In con-
versation with one of the leaders I'm the
House, he said that IL would be impossi-
BILE for the bin To be passed in the House
without a Cioture rule. and that no such
rule would be brought in. II seems that
no silver legislation will De passed this
session. although the anti-silver advocates
are making an UuremitGng fight for the
repeal 0f the present law
The delegation which went 10 New York
20 see Mr.. Cleveland in behalf OF the APP
pointment of Hon. J. Randolph Tucker
have returned here. They, Of course
know all about the organization OF the
Cabinet. but they are very reticent about
giving the fun list out. They remind one
of a story told the other day by a con-
gressman who had Just come from
visit 10 the President-elect. When asked
if he knew who were TO be the Cabinet APP
pointees. he said: THAT reminds me OF
a wedding down In nay county. The popu-
lar couple We're in front OF the paFsoh
and the church was filled.
who gives this woman away? asked
the preacher An old friend away In one
of the back seats exclaimed: We'll /
could, but burned If ! do.
