The chairman Of the committee on carriages,
Mr.. Oliver 7. Beaumont, came in for q share Of
the attention Of the inaugural executive COM
mittee at the meeting yesterday. Chairman
Norris spoke Of the published report that Mr..
Beaumont had written to the Presdent-elect in
regard to the committee Of which he ID chair
man providing q carriage for Mr.. Cleveland for
the Inauguration. Mr.. Norris stated the action
Of Mr.. Beaumont was entirely unwarranted and
that the matter Of conveying Mr.. Cleveland
from the Capitol to the White House on iuau-
guration day was in the province Of the special
committee Of the Senate appointed for that
purpose. He considered that Mr.. Beaumont's
course was a usurpation Of the rights Of the
Senate committee, and, besides, he should have
conferred with the executive committee to
any information at his command regarding the
inaugural ceremonies before making the same
public.
Mr.. Lawrence Gardner thought Chairman
Beaumont should be censured for his conduct,
but said that he would refrain from making q
motion to that effect owing to the deed having
been committed and there was reason to
stir mp the matter.
Mr.. Lancaster stated that he had seen Mr..
Cleveands letter 70 Chairman Beaumont, and
that while he deprecated Beaumont's action, it
WAS better not to take any official cognizance Of
the violation Of the proprieties.
Chairman Norris considered that Mr.: Beau
mont had taken great liberty, and that the
executive committee should place itself right in
the matter. Several other members expressed
themselves in similar manner and then the
subject was allowed to drop.

Der of small appropriations, all Of which were
