but the ;dminiStra was repreS-
ented by Secretaries Charles Poster
Risk ana Noble and Postmaster
General Wanamaker. The President
was very much shocked by the news
of Gen. Hayes death, as he appeared
to be in perfect health when he say
him last, which was at Mrs. HAIR
risOn's funeral last fall. AS tribute
of respect to the memory Of the eN-
President, Of whom none but kind
words are spoken in Was hington, by
men of all political parties, the White
House and all the executive depart
mcnt are closed to-day and tho White
House and departments buildings
are all draped in mourning and Will
fly their flags at half-mast for thirty
DAYS. In addition to the members
of the cabinet Il detail OF prominent
army and navy officers attended 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 Representative Outwaite.
Said Senator Brice: Il will at the
proper time Ton the floor OF the SEN
i,te,) pay my tribute to the worth OF
Gen, Hayes us Il man a citizen and Il
public official. I was with his other
Ohio friends proud Vi his record his
bravery and ability as a soldier, his
noble and faithful service as IA mem
Der of Congress. his dig flied, judici-
Gus and satisfactory handling OF
affairs as governor of Ohio, and OF his
temperate management Of his adj
ministration as President, an admin
istrratiOn whih | can now see soft
ened the asperities gro wing out of
the civil war and led to perfect union
Il blessing which we are now enjoy
ing" MIR. Outwaite said: "The
democrats of Ohio always regarded
him as Il conscientious man a patrio-
tic man and Il man devoted to the
interest 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 gOvcDOr.
His record aus a soldier in the war for
the Union was one of the best, and
his administ rat ton as President was
pure patriotic, and always for the
best interests of the country" When
such words are spoken Of a. man by
his political opponents language fails
friends and associates.
The Joint resolution providing for
the election OF Senators by popular
vote was railroaded through the
House under Il suspension of the rules
agaist the protests of the republicans,
who pointed out serious defects in the
measure; but such methods will not
prevail in the Senate, at least not st
this session, and if the resolution is
adopted by the Senate which is very
doubtful it will not be until these
defects are remedied.
A caucus of the republican Senators
was to have been held this week, at
Sena tor Sher;nan's House to consid-
err the business to be taken up aside
from the regular appropriation bills
but it was postponed on account of
Gen. Hayes and will not be held un-
til next week.
Although bills have been favorAbly
reported to both House and Senate
providing for a suspension of the
purchase of silver by the govern
ment, and the corridors of the Capi-
tol and OF the hotels are full of talk
about silver legislation it is not like
~ that there will be any silver lcgis
lation at this session. There are
enough silver Senators who can
neither be cajoled nor bulldozed by
Mr.. Cieve land to pre- ven the repeal OF
the present tariff law. and those dem
Ocrats who have been influenced by
Mr., Cleveland to promise to vote for
it's repeal will not be sorry to see
them do it in fact many will help on
the sly.
Secretary Tracy has issued orders
outlining the plan OF the internation-
al naval review authorized by act of
the Fifty-first Congress, but he SAYS
the review will necessarily be a very
Illuminating failure if the present Con-
gress does not appropriate the mon
ey asked for Many foreign govern
ments have accepted invitations to
send ships to participate in this re-
view and their officers will come as
special guests of this government.
