Secretary—The city Wears a Funeral
Look of Satin***.
Washington, Feb. 2.—The senate is
shaping business jvith a determination
to leave no necessity for an extra ses
sion. To this end the Republican "sheer-
ing committee” in that body have ar
ranged a programme that w ill occupy
the body two weeks if it is approved by
the Republican caucus.
The annual appropriation bills are all
in a background state. Only four weeks
remain of this congress, and not one of
the thirteen appropriation kills li»« been
sent to the president.
The army appropriation bill has passed
both houses, but it is not yet ready for
the executive, because of amendments
attached by the seuate.
The pension and fortification bills are
on the benate calennar awaiting their
turn, and three other bills, district, mili
tary, academy and navy, are in the sen
ate committees. Of the remaining appro*
prialion. the consular, Indian and legis
lative, have been reported to the house,
and two others, the agricultural and sun
dry civil, will be ready to report this
week. While the condition of these hilts
is not encouraging, it is thought that
congress can complete them by uoon ou
the 4th of Marclt.
The funeral of William Windom, late
secretary of the treasury, took - place at
the Church of the Covenant at noon

He will be Called before that body to
give account for something be said in
the pulpit of the first Baptist church,
and that in itself is something that is
unusual in the courts.
It will be concerning something that
the doctor said in regard to the prohibi

stance of some of the city officials.
Last night he preached to a crowded
house on the question of prohibition,
and he stated among other things,
that whiskey was sold, here aftfer
hours, and sold on Sunday, and that
regulations applied ouly to the front
doors.
These statements stirred up some of
the city officials, and prohis and antis
all denounce his statements.
They called attention of the grand

Accordingly, Dr. Hawthorne .will be
called before that body, and compelled
to substantiate his statements or crawl
into his hole in the ground.

From the New York Herald.
Cleveland and Hill have shaken
bands!
They have met at the social board,
bavc broken bread together, have hob
nobbed over the wiae and have chatted
in the most amicable way imaginable.
This happy event took place last night
at the Manhattan Club, at a dinner
given by Colonel William L. Brown, the
democratic Stale Senator from the Fifth
district.
Every democratic politician in town
has been talking about this dinner for
days, for it was known that both gen
tlemen had been invited, and the ques
tion of the hour was, "Would the two
leaders, rivals for t!i<? nomination of
their great party for the Presidency,
meet iti friendship after the efforts of ill-
advised supporters to shdw dissension
between then.?”
The general drift of speculation was
to the effect that they probably
wouldn't. The two bad not met at any
social gathering, so far as is generally
known, sinee the C entennial banquet,
on April 30, 1889, at the Metropolitan
Opera House. They have come together
on official occasions, but cveu these
meetings have been few and far be
tween, and on Evacuation Day, Wash
ington’s Birthday, the Fourth ot July
and what not, when His Excellency the
Governor reviewed tha parade of the
National Guard iu Ne\v York, the ex-
President should feel it incumbent upon
him to honor the Brooklyn paraders
with bis presence.
The last time before last evening upon
which the Governor and the ex-Presi-
dent were brought face to face was at
the funeral of August Belmont, where
both were pall bearers, and it was com
mon remark then that the two did not
speak and that the relations between
them were strained.
bappily over.
But all this is happily over. The two
great men, each knowing that the other
was expected to be present, accepted
invitations to be one of the guests at
Colonel Brown’s dinner at the M anliat-
tan Club last evening. But even these
acceptances were not enough to satisfy
the sceptics, and bets were made that
one or the other world remain away
andwould send a little note, regretting
that "business of importance” or "an
unforeseen engagement” or some other
politic fiction would prevent him from
doing bim8elfthe honor to "join with
our esteemed host in,” &c.
And so when the two rivals really did
deliberately sit down together at the
feast there was surprise among the
democrats in that gorgeous rallying
place of the swell democracy, once the
palace of the late Mr Stewart.
The buzz of gossip in the air was so
intense that every other subject was
forgotten, and from the cafe to the bil-
E. P. Speer, and Mr. Josiah A. Carter
They will rank as lieutenant colonels I iiard room everybody was theorizing as

The rest of the list has not been com
pleted, but will be made out in a few
days. Tho number on the staff will ex
ceed forty.

not to heal the breach" between the two
leaders of his party, that shrewd gen
tleman wovld innocently disclaim any
such intention and then—“wink the
other eye.”
This dinner "to the governors of the
Manhattan Club” was served in the li
brary of the club house. It is a good
sized room on the second floor at the
Fifth avenue corner of the building.
All the bookcases and furniture were
removed fer the occasion, and a long
oval table, capable of seating comforta
bly thirty-two persons, allowing *two
feet two inches elbow room to each, was
especially manufactured.
. CLEVELAND ARRIVES.
The ex-President arrived at about
seven o’clock and was greeted cordially
all around. As the minutes went by

road business would be ruined. The
Aerial Navigation Company had a cap-

was gotteady.
The working model, thirty feet long,
and capable of carrying two passengers,
arrived at Chicago by express a fort
night ago. Expectation^ as on tip-toe.
The model was kept out of sight, be
hind a pair of heavy iron doors, and
even reporters were not permitted to
take a look at it. It was intended that
ingly and explained sotto voce that he
had information that the Governor was
at the formal opening of the Twenty-se
cond regiment armory, and that he
would come by and by, as soon as he
could get away, probably not until
about seven o’clock.
But even the host’s confidence could
not dissipate the lingering belief of
some of his guests that the Goveruor
nor Hill entered the ror m and took the
vacant chair which had been lelt for
him ut xtto the hostaml on the oppo
site en>i of the table from Cleveland.
When the Governor came tn the most
of the other guests, applauded, aud some
lose from their seats.
Mr. Cleveland glanced up quickly; he
did not join in the applause, but he
smiled in his Qwu inscrutable way.
This >s the way the company were
disposed of at the. table:—
On the right haud of the host, Sena*
tor Brown, sat Governor Hill. On ,the
left was Lieutenant Governor Jones.
Directly opposite Senator Brown.. At
the other end of the long oval sat Fred
eric R. Coudert, the president off the
Manhattan Club,and on his right hand
so that he directly faced Governor Hill
was ex President Cleveland.
• Colonel Brown started the oratory
agoing in a little speech, iu which he
spoke in words of compliment first of
tlte Governor aud then of the ex-Presi
dent as the two guests whom they es
pecially honored. „
MUTUAL ADMIRATION.
Aud that brought out the first inci
dent which was significant of the love
feast that was to tollow, for ex-Presi
dent Cleveland joined in the general ap
plause which the eulogy of Hill brought
out, and the Governor in his turn
clapped his hands and smiled when Mr.
Cleveland was praised by the speaker.
But thy re was a studious avoidance of
politics in what Mr. Brown said.
The ex-President was toasted by the
host and his health was drunk
bumpers. Then Mr. Cleveland rose to
respond and there was an expectant si
lence. After a few generallies, ex
pressing his thanks to his host and his
pleaBudk at meeting so many old
friends.
Then he turned toward tho Governor
and, while everybody listened with
breathless interest, he spoke-in words
of eulogy of Goveruor Hill’s political
career.
PRAISE FOR HILL.
He said that Governor Hill’s servi
ces to bis party and to the State were
unsurpassed; that as Governor his ad
ministration bad been wise, conserva
tive and characterized by some of the
most benificent measures ever placed ou
the statute books. He had used the
veto power with discretion and fearless
ness
He congratulated the Governor
heartily ou his administration of the
Governorship of the greatest State'in
the Union. He congratulated the
Governor and the democratic party that
Governor Hill is to be the next United
States Senator from New York, and he
concluded by saying that if his career
in that office was as successful as his
work at Albany he would have a record
to be proud of.
There was nothing half way or hesita
ting about Mr. Cleveland’s words
speaking of bis colleague. And his
manner was earnest and impressive.
The effect was electrical. It was
what everybody had been hoping for;
the hour of ieconcilation had come.
Every man present rose in his seat and
voiced his delight in applause. Napkins
and handkerchiefs were waved in the
air, chairs were overturned, Cleveland’s
hands were grasped by a dozen men at
ouce, all anxious to congratulate him
and to show thsir joy.
The Governor’s face was a study.
The Governor has one of those faces
that grow pale under emotion, and bis
cheeks were pale now.
As soon as the applause had subsided
aud the chairman called upon the
Governor for a response there was
instant silence aud attention.
HILL’S RESPONSE.
The Governor’s reply was brief but
to the point. He thanked Mr. Cleve
land for his praise, which, he said was
far more than he deserved.
He in turn spoke of the great services
of Mr. Cleveland to his party and the
country, reviewed briefly his career as
President, alluding to some of the great
triumphs of his administration and de
clared that his highest ambition was to
emulate the example and the success of
Grover Cleveland.
Another burst of applause followed
the Governor’s speech. Then followed
a repetition of the previous scene.
Governor Hill spoke for only four
minutes by the watch. He was grace
ful and easy in bis manner. The pschy-
cbological moment was reached when
the speaker turned toward the seat of
the ex-President and said
"Gentlemen, 1 will now ask yon to
drink to the health of Grover Cleve
land.”
Somebody murmured sotto voce, "Ot r
next President,” and now it was Hill’s
turn to flush. The still small voice
could be assigned to no one, and per
haps it was only the thoughts of not a
few present-taking audible form.

Jay Gould and Party on Their Way South
to Arrange Blatters.
Washington, Feb. 3.—Tuesday morn
ing at 8:30 o’clock, a train of special
coaches left the Pennsylvania railroad
depot scheduled for Atlanta.
A very interesting company of people
occupied those specials, a party repre
senting several vast' railway systems,
and whose individual fortunes added to
gether would amount to $150,000,000,
This aggregation consisted of Jay
Gould, his son George and daughter
F e'en, John H. Inman, Sidney Dillon
Calvin Brice, Gen. Sam Thomas, Mr.
Felton, Superintendent Green ot the
Richmond aud Danville, Patrick Cal
houn, Mrs. Calhoun, Miss Thomas and
others.
To a newspaper man Mr. Inman was
frank and communicative about the ob
ject of their visit. It means nothing
short of a vast consideration of traffic
affairs, extending completely across the
continent, so that a car loaded, at Port
land, Ore., may be unloaded in Savan
nah or Brunswick.
“Of course there are many other mat
ters that will engage attention,” re
marked Mr. Inman. “We are going to
build some fine union depots—I think
one at Atlanta, and another at Chatta-
noogo, and still another at Birmingham.
We all wish to look the ground over in
connection with these and other matters,
and you may say that when our systems
are all agreed on their improvements
and changes tli#public will have no rea
son to complain. W e are not altogether
selfish. We are patriotic and have the
good of the country at heart as well as
our individual interests.”
