OUR WASHINGTON LET TER.

OUR WASHINGTON LET TER. =
The overwhelming flood of special
petition legislation will soon force Con
gress to take some means of dammtng
it. Even republicans express the Opin-
ion that the scope of congressional &C.
ton in such matters have been over
stepped entirely, and that under the
present practice pension bereau has
been established under the dome of the
capitol. In the present congress there
have been 2, 1873 special pension bills in
the senate and with the general bills
and tn, house bills, tbs senate pAnsion
committee has been asked so far to take
UP about three thousand bills. One
senatorhas introduced l62 bills and an
other lis. Tn, business is already as
large MS the committee can handle well
and there is little doubt it will ba
doubled in the next congress. This
isdue to the fact that the pension at
torneys are advising soldiers that it is
easierto get their pensions through con.
gressional action than through the
Pension Bureau.
When tho historian writes the story
of the -Schley controversy,
however he may award the laurels of
the battle itself, he will have to award
the palm of courtesy and generosity to
Schley. Recently hs has capped his
.glory enough for ALL dispatch, which
is in SO m lrked contrast to Sampson's
egotistlcal message, by writing to
friends in this city, asking them to use
their influence to quiet his over anxious
champions and expressing a willingness
to taks a place junior to Raar Admiral
Sampson in the grade of Vice Admiral
In his message to brother officer,
VIII I'm he has selected to represent him
in Washington on this occasion, he has
requested that both Sampson and he be
promoted To the grade of Vice Admiral,
and says he is willing to 50 on the re
tired list in that grade, which he will
hold subordinate to Sampson. The
lcharacteristically generous attitude of
Admiral Schley might have q god
effect If there were time to press the
matter to the front in the Senate, even
though there is rumor to the effect
that SIMPSONS friends will urge the
president not to appoint Schley Vice,

1t was used for some time as an

While the house has been added to
and improved, it has not been allowed
to lose any of its colonial charm. The
room in which the oath was taken is
ceiled high in dark oak. the floor heav-
lily polished. and the only bit of relief
to it a bay window.
1t was in this embrasure where the
President and Judge Hazel stood when
the oath was administered.
The place selected was the library of
Mr.. WilcoX's house. rather small
room, but picturesque, the heavy oak
trimmings and the massive book cases
giving il somewhat the appearance of

The pretty bay window, with stained
glass and heavy hangings. formed "a

gangreneous.
After passing through the stomach
the bullet passed into the back walls
of the abdomen. hitting and tearing

The bullet has not yet been found.
There was no sign of peritonitis or
disease of other organs.
The heart walls were very thin.

FUNERAL AT BUFFALO.

Puffalo. n. V. Sept. 15.-Buffaio, to-
day, became city of mourneIs. The
CAV and flaming decorations Of the
Pan American Exposition gave way to
the symbol of sorrow. The black drap-
cry of the city's streets muffied the
tolling bells of the churches. Bits n
creme appeared on every sleeve. The
sorrow was apparent everywhere.
In the morning a simple service took
place at the residence on Delaware
avenue where the martyred President
died. A hymn was sung and prayer
was offered over the dead body. That
was all. Only the immediate family
and the friends and political associates
of the late President We're present. The
scene there was pathetic in the ex-
treme.

had already passed and the crowds
