The fnrnlshingof tho various compartments
of tho Volunteers’ armory was determined by
competitive bids. Messrs. Payne A Willing

room, and plush curtains for the other room.
The two rooms, forming a double parlor,are
connected by folding doors.

DECLARATION OF THC RESULT.
' ‘Senatori and Gentlemen of the Honte of
JtepreeeHaliiee: Tbe tellers have reported
lo the presiding officer the state of the
vote, from which it appears that Grover
Cleveland, ot the State of New York, bis
received 210 votes for the cilice ot Presi
dent ofthe United Stoles: that James G.
Blaine, of the Btate ot Maine, has received
182 votes for the same office; that Thomas
A. Hendricks of the8tsteo( Indiana, has
received 219 votes for the office of Vice-
President of the United States; that John
A. Logan, of tbe Btate ot Illinois, baa re-
ceivea 182 votes for tbe same office.
Wherefore I do declare that Grover Cleve
land, of the State of New York, has re
ceived a majority of the votes of the whole
number of electors appointed u ther ap
pear in the certificates read by the tellera,
and so appears to bare been elected Presi
dent of the United Btates for the four veers
commencing on the 4tb day of March.
1885, and that Thomu A. Hendricks, of
the Btate of Indians, hu received a ma
jority ot the votes of the whole number of
eleotors appointed u they appear in
the certificates read by tha tel
lers, and so appears to have been
elected Vice-President of the United States
for the four years commencing on the 4th
day of March, 1885. nnd the President of
the Senate makes this declaration only as
a public statement in the presence of tbe
two Houses of Congress of the contents ot
the papers opened and rend on this occa
sion, and not u possessing any authority
of law to declare any legal conclusion
whatever."
Here tbe immense andience broke into
applause and cheers, which the presiding
officer attempted to suppress, nut with
litlie success. The Senate at 1:20 then re
tired to Its chamber, and tbe Hotue
took a recess for fifteen minutes.
XDMUNDS'S ACTION DISCUSS ID.
On ihe Home being caUed to order, Mr.
Keifer, of Ohio, ofiered a resolution re
citing the remit ot the joint convention of
the two bouses, and declaring that it is
the sense of the House that the cooatita-
tion end laws have been duly executed,
and that no further declaration of this
fact is necessary.
Mr. Springer, of Illinois, said that it
seemed from the annonneament of the
pn aiding officer of tbe joint convention
ihattbecwai no declaration. Contrary
IA all precedent, the Vice-President had
simply di dared that it appeared from the
coant made by the tellers that Grover
Cleveland had received a certain number
of votes, but had disclaimed any
intention to make any official declaration
of the remit of that vote. He preferred
that Ihe matter should be referred to the
judiciary committee, with loetrnctlons lo
reporiBuch declarations as may be neces
sary for the purpose of making known the
result of tbe election.
Tne Speaker pro tens —"Tho presiding
-officer of thejolut convention,Jin making
the announcement of tbe vote, announced
tbe result that had been found, and simply
added a disclaimer of any authority on
his part, as presiding officer of the Senate
or of the Joint convention, to meko any
declaration at all."

The Speaker—'"The chair, acting as an

Mr. Randall said that th* vote of th*
tlaotorabad been announced, and tnat any
ministerial procteoing waa not essential to
tba main fact that Grover Cleveland been

The Secretary of the Navy haa issued tbe
following general order:
“All petitions, remonstrances, memo
rials and communications from any officer

Department, and not otherwise except by
authority of the department, and no officer
will appear before any committee of Con
gress except bv such antbority. Btrfct
compliance with this order will be re

It ia thought that this order was prompted
by the action of a number of naval officers
in nntling in a protest to Congress
against the passage a of resolution thank

and without dismounting approached the

revolver and laid to aeveral bystanders:
“ Sow, see ra* kill him.” Brforo any one
could Interfere, he sent a bullet through
Henderson's heath Alter Henderson
bad fallen, the stranger fired four more
bullets into bis body, any of which wonld
have proved fatal. Bidding Nathans good
