Interesting at the White House—Coin
ing and Going—Visitor*—A Crank
Jailed for Wanting to Vacate
th" Presidential Chair.
Washington, March 6.—The senate was
called to order and the galleries were packed
With strangers.
Mr. Allison, chairman of the committee
appointed to wait upon the president, re
ported that the president desired t- e commit
tee to state that he would couunu.ncate with I
the senate in writing •. J i
The nominations for the cabinet were re
ceivedas follows:
Thomas F. Bayard, of Delaware, secretary .
of state.
Daniel Manning, of New York, secretary of
the treasury.
William C. Endicott, of Massachusetts, sec- I
retary of war.
William C. Whitney, of New York, secre
tary of the navy.
L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi, secretary of
the interior.
William F. Vilas, of Wisconsin, postmaster
general.
Augustus H. Garland, of Arkansas, attor
ney general.
The cabinet nominations were all referred
to committees, Senator Riddleberger ob
jecting to the customary immediate consider
ation of the nominations of those who were
members of the senate.
Mr. Riddlelxjrger made a few remarks,
saying in substance that his objection to
Bayard arose from the belief that he was un-
American.
The senate adjourned without confirming
any of the cabinet nominations.
It was an interesting da at the white
house. Mr. Cleveland, his brother, sisters,
nieces and other relatives spent the night
there and breakfasted early. There was little
change in the appearance of the house, ex
cept that Mr. Arthur’s personal effects and pri
vate property had disappeared. Mr. Lamont
occupied the desk used by Private Secretary
Phillii« since J. Stanley Brown evacuated it
more than three years ago. Mr. Arthur’s
son and daughter left the white house and
went to the Frelinghuysen residence. The
president made his appearance in the business
portion of the mansion early, attired entirely
in black, a Prince Albert coat and black scarf,
and transacted some official business.
Later the senate committee called to an
Bounce the readiness of that body to receive
the executive communications, and the cabi
net list was immediate.y signed and dis
patched to the capitol. Marshal McMichael
and Col. Rockwell called to arrange for Uie
reception of guests, and the president con
sented to receive the supreme court and such
military and civic organizations as desired to
call before leaving the city. The suite of
state apartments were thrown open and the
president took a position in the blue room,
and the supreme court justices were re
ceived, as were the Americus club, the
Young Men’s democratic club and the Sam
Randall club, of Philadelphia; the Kings
County democratic club, of New York, and
the o' ;-‘TS of the visiting Pennsylvania
regiments. Individal callers were
few <n<i mainly personal friends and promi
nent New Yorkers.
A Crank Jailed.
New York, March 6.—Among the prison
ers in the Jefferson market police court was
Elias Bray, whose appearance indicated him
to be a farmer, but who proved to be a Meth
odist preacher of the Wyoming conference.
When arraigned he exclaimed: “God Al
mighty lias designed me as one to remove
President Cleveland. It shall be done by spir
itual manifestations, not by violence.” TH
justice questioned Bray, and finally commit
ted him for examination.
“Examination of what?” asked Bray.
“Your head” said the court.
“My head,” said Bray, feeling his cranium
carefully, “why judge my head is all right;
isn’t there something the matter with yours?”
At this remark the officer rushed Bray into
jail.
Bray was arrested at the instance of John
M Phillip', the head of the Methodist book
concern, with the object of having him taken
care of In Bray’s pxx:ket was found S2OO
and a ticket from Philadelphia to England.
His plea for removing the president, he said,
was to go to him quietly and say:
“The year of jubilee has come; return ye
ransomed sinner, home ”
Spiritual agencies, he said, would compel
the president to pack up and leave Washing
ton at once.
His Mother’s Bible.
Washington, March 6.—The bible upon
whi'-h th oath of office was ad ministered to
Pre .. .a Cleveland is a pocket companion
which was presented to him by his mother
in 1852. Its fly leaf contains the words:
•’Grover Cleveland. From Your Affection
ate Mother.”
Col. Lamont visited Mr. Cleveland at Buf
falo in December, 1882, when preparations
were making for the assumption of the duties
of governor. He saw the book upon the desk
and examin 1 it with some interest. The
n* <t time he saw it was among ths gover
nor’s books in his private office of the execu
tive chamber at Albany.
Numerous telegrams congratulating Mr.
Cleveland were received. One of them was
from Gov. Murray, of Utah. It read as
follows:
“All law abiding citizens are rejoiced at
your determination to suppress polygamy.
We thank you.’
Mr. Cleveland was a surprise as a public
speaker. His voice is flute-like, almost bird
lie in its clearness and penetrating power,
and his lungs proved strong enough to send it
to so great a distance that some of his utter
ances were applauded by men who seemed a
city block away. His enunciation was dis
tinct. and he modulated his voice to give force
to his sentences. His position while sp raking,
was easy, and was not at all ungraceful. It |
showed him to be not only at ease, but very
confident. He held his head so high that it
might have been described as thrown slightly
ba k, but only at long intervals did he slowly
yaise his right hand and move it a little as if
- to emphasize a sentence, and then drop it to
the railing.
At other times he lifted the same hand, his
right one, to glance at the notes of headings
of his address that he bad jotted down on a
visiting card. His left hand he held behind
him. He had two earnest listeners, President
Arthur nnd Chief Justice Waite. Senator
Sherman never took his eyes from Mr. Cleve
land’s figure, but it was impossible to say
whether he was listening or not
It took Mr. Cleveland a little less than
twenty minutes to deliver the address. When
tie finished it was apparent he had made a
'favorable impression. All admitted that hia
ivoice was most excellently suited to such an
Occasion, and that his manner was ‘- c mest
ft nd impressive, j

Washington VI aifs.
Frederick O. Prince, of Boston, is slated for
a foreign mission, partly in recognition of
the strong position he took against Butler at
Chicago. He would like such a l>erth, and the
national committee urge him for one.
The republican senators are extremely reti
cer.t in reference to what occurred in the cau
cus. It is understood, however, that the
committees are not to be reorganized
lor a few days yet, there being no desire
or necessity for any hurry in the matter,
since nothing but executive business will come
before the senate during the extra session.
1 The cabinet nominations will come up for
confirmation, and it is expected the work will
be done without reference to the committees.
. Democratic senators in caucus, selected
' Senator Beck (Ky.) and Kenna (W. Va..) as
jiermanent chairman and permanent secre
| tary respectively, and adopted resolutions
I thanking Messrs. Pendleton and Jonas, who
’ formerly occupied these positions, for past
services. The caucus also appointed a com
' inittee bf nine to arrange the minority mem
■ bership on the committees.
Democratic senators generally in comment
: ing upon the cal inet nominations speak very
! highly of the personnel, but regret that New
! York received two places.
Mr. Riddleberger’s action preventing the
immediate confirmation of United States sen
ators who form a part of the new cabinet is
severely criticized, and it is believed that al
though be intends to delay the confirmation
by making long speeches, as he did in the case
of Hon. Hugh McCullo h, the republicans
will al i .ist a .cup. to s iu r re~i him.
A SON’S BRUTALITY.
Allows His Old Mother to Perish Outside
His Door.
Perrysville, W. Va., March 6—A case
of sha king brutality, which is likely to re
sult in lynching, is reported from near here.
Mrs. Hannah Daniels, an old and respectable
lady, was frozen to death by her son, Jack
son Daniels.
All of Mrs. Danials’ children were dead
except this one, who is a farmer in that sec
tion and is more than well to-do. A year
ago his mother, aged and decrepit, vas sent
to the i>oor house. The authorities, knowing
ths merits of the case, coni polled Daniels to
take his mother home, where she could re
ceive much letter attention than in the poof
house.
T1 ‘ son refused to have her in the house
and Built her a log cabin, or rather a pen,
in the yard, and cared for her scarcely as
well as he did for hi? horses. The daughter- i
in-law is said to have been particularly un- 1
kind, and the children were taught to despise
the grandmother. One night last week, dur
ing the intense cold, without wood or fire,
she hobbled to her sou’s house and begged
a hnission. The children told a neighbor that
“Pa wouldn't let granny in,” an I they found I
her dead in the yard next morning.
E 'As s<x»n as the facts became known there
was great indignation and the men organized ■
tu lynch Daniels and the women determined
to tar and feather the wife. Daniels nailed i
up his windows and barricaded his doors and '
repulsed the first attac k made, wounding one !
of his assailants. The latest news is that;
Daniels is still intrenched, but can hold out !
but littte longer*, and be is sure to be lynched.
ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
When Captain Phelan or Richard Short
Must Go Under.
Kansas City, Mo., March 6.—The return '
of Capt. Thomas Phelan here without hav
ing prose<‘uted his assailant, Short, in New
York, has excited general surprise, and been
the subject of much comment. Theodore
Kearney, of New York, and a conspicuous
figure in Irish affairs, said that Phelan was
afrai<i to prosecute Short. The latter while
in jail had remarked that if Phelan was the
only i. an he had to fear, he wouldn’t even
have a preliminary examination.
“Phelan was glad enough,” said Kearney,
“to get off with his life for a while.”
“For a while?” asked the reporter.
“Ye-t; the British government will spend
$100,(k)0 to put Short out of tlib way. Phelan
recciv I m «-Ter to have all his expenses
paid i.. ;.ew York if he would stay and pros
ecute Short. Phelan was probably under
the influence of liquor when he made the
statement which led to the shooting, and
after seeing what a fool he hail made of liim
self he proceeded to New York hoping to
put himself straight. The interview was a
betrayal of confidence on the part of Phelan,
and he well knew when he read it that his
life was in jjeriL The outcome of the whole
matter will be that Short will get out and
they’ll have no use for Phelan. You know,”
added Kearney significantly, “they doi t
like to love McDermott or Carey alter they
found out what they really were.”

London, March 6.—The Russian Ambassa
dor, Baron Mohrenheim, called on Gladstone
at the latter’s official residence. The Ambas
sador was the bearer of several important dis
patches from his government, relating to Af
ghanistan affairs. Ho remained closeted
w' h Gladstone for a long time. The action
of the Russian minister, in going direct to the
premier instead of to Lord Granville, minis
ter of foreign affairs, as is customary, gives
rise to considerable comment, and is generally
regarded as an indication that the Russian
government is determined to learn from
Gladstone’s own lips England’s intentions
with regard to the recent advances by Russia
in Afghanistan.
Trouble at Dublin.

THE CROPS.
Reports of the Condition of the Growing
Wheat.
Clarksville, Mo., March 6. —The snow if i
now melted off the fields and the wheat is in '
sight. About eight out of ten of the farmers
consider the wheat unhurt. In sr me places '
where the snow is blown off, the wheat looks 1
a little hurt, but a careful observer says it ■
will come out all right; that the root is not 1
touched, but is green and growing. The I
weather f< >r the last two months was all that
could be desired. The only danger now is a
cold spell while the ground is bare, or a dry
spell and windy weather which will blow the
ground and expose the roots.
Vandalia, HI., March 6.—The snow in
this section has entirely disappeared. The
ai ea of wheat in this country is much less than
last season, but with favorable conditions
until har. est it is believed the crop will be as
arge if not larger than last year.

Arkansas City, Kas., March 5 —The
boomers are in camp just west t.f the city.
Wagons are constantly coming in and every
train brings reinforcements, (ten. Hatch
and a few of his staff are here, but the main
body of t’na troops have gone into the terri
tory. Gen. Hatch is expectin/ reinforce

ties of the United States. The warrant was
issued at Wichita, the 19th of February, at
the instigel on of Lieut. Day.
All parties are at liberty without bonds to
appear at Wichita before United States Com
missioner Sherman. The Unite* I States mar
shal has left with them, Gen. Hatch accom
panying the party.
Speeches wore made by Capt. Couch and
Samuel Crocker. Couch said his arrest was
but a miserable farce, calculated to intimi
date the boomers now eu route to join his
colony. The charges are practically the
same he has been arrested on eleven times l>o
fore without even having a trial. He expect*
to be l>a i k by .Saturday, and ad vises the col
onists to await, his return.
The boomers are, as a class, respectable,
intelligent, law abiding citizens, m.uiy of
them being old-timere, having made the trip
to Oklahoma before. They are enthusiastic,
and many of them are old soldiers.
Among all the mon, women and children
in the camp, there is not a single individual
sick. Nearly every state and occtquition is
represented. Tuesday afternoon a religious
meeting was hvi.l, and in the evening a dance.
They intend taking enough to last ninety
days. ' a
Secretary A. C. McCord is busy issuing
certificates of membership, which can Lie
procured at $2 each, and entitle the bearer to
all the benefits and protection of the Payne
Oklahoma colony, and to on equal voice in
all matters pertaining to and the promotions
of its local govermnent. The boomers ex
pect to start next week. They will largely
outnumber the troops, who will probably
stop them at Ponca agency.
Discouraging Communication.
Hunnewell, Kan., March .—(’ap. W. L.
Couch, president of the Payne-Oklahoma col
ony, received a message from W. F. Gordon,
one of the prominet members of the colony,
now in Washington looking up the interests
of the boomers. The following is the sub
stance of his communication:
“1 in ling it hopeless to do anything out
west until Cleveland’s jKiliey is known, and
hoping to bo able to keep our matters agi
tated before the coming cabinet by being
here in person, I came here last Wednesday.
I had talk with Commissioner Price, and he
holds against us yet as hard as ever, ami says
if we go into the territory the troops will
take Us out again. I asked Price why not lot
t ;-e courts settle this matter once for all; that
if it decide against our claims we would ac
quiesce and stay out until congress acts.
“He said that "the ccarte had settled that
wo had no rights there. 1 referred him
to Judge Foster’s decision that it was not a
criminal offense for United States citizens to
go upon the lands. He said that was only a
partial decision, not touching upon the legal
status of the lands and that other judges had
decidedly differently. lie then relerred me
to the secretary of the interior, but 1 have
not boon able to interview him yet. I had a
long talk with Gen. Rosecrans. Ho says ail
we can do is to keep moving in until w<
force the courts to decide either for or agains
us. He had seen the secretary of war, l>ut
that official claimed he was acting as one of
the coordinate heads of departments and had
no authority r reason to inquire into which
side had the legal rights in the case; that the
se'Te nry of the interior had called on the
v.uf' urn ;>t for help to ex. -i intruders
from tue Indian territory, and it was his
place to grant the help, leaving the interior
department to settle the law point.
“Gen. Rosecrans says he then wrote to »Sec
retary of the Interior Teller, demanding the
explanation and the law for his Sec
retary Teller claimed that the prejxinderance
of judicial decisions were against the 2 w bite
settlers, and the recession of 1866 did not pro
vide for those lands being Indian reserva
tions for Indian freedmen and friendly In
dians. At least that was his (Teller’s) view
of it, and he would continue the same policy
and use the troops. I asked Gen. Rosecran’s
what he guessed would be Mr. Cleveland’s
policy toward us. He said he could not guess;
no one can.
•‘Charley Blair, of Kan., has
been named in connection with that place,
but Kamas democrats stand little chance for
any of the leading offices here. Os course
they will get everything in Kansas and per
haps a territorial office or two. Gen. Rose
crans and others here have the idea that the
last arrest of yourself and company will
surely bring our case to a test in the court.”
GRANT’S GOOD HUMOR.
The Retirement Bill an Appetizer and
Spirit IClevator.
New York, March 6.—Gen. Grant and his
wife went out driving. They returned home
much refreshed, and received about a hun
dred calling cards left by friends during his
absence. The passage of the retirement bill
put the general in a particularly good humor,
and gave au edge to his appetite. He ate
oysters, chopped meat, and drank l>eef tea
and coffee. The family gathered in his room
on the second floor, and a few intimate
friends, both ladies and gentlemen, were ad
mitted to the circle. His sons opened the
telegrams of congratulations from his friends
in Washington, and read the reports of the
passage of the bill from the newspajjers.
A young physician recently from Germany
has written the surgeons in the case, criticiz
ing the statement that the cancer can not be
got at for an operation. He says he saw the
same ulceration removed abroad by cutting
open the cheek and sawing through the jaw
bone. He says the operation is new in this
country, but has been successful in many
cases in Germany and France. There is a
probability that a celebrated surgeon of Ber
lin will be consulted in regard to Gen. Grant’s
case.

Philadelphia, March 6.—Dr. Goersen, the
condemned wife murderer passed an uneasy
time and ate sparingly. Shortly afterward,
the minister called to offer prayer and spirit
ual consolation. The procession formed for
the scaffold and Goerson walked slowly with
downcast head and little signs of trepidation
to the scaffold. After a short prayer by the
minister, Goerson began to speak. He said
he was innocent of the death of his wife or
wife’s mother. He felt that circumstances
were against him, but true as he Loped to
meet God he was innocent. The cap was
drawn and his limbs pinioned and the drop
fell. In two minutes after there was a con
vulsive movement of the breast and then all
was stilt- Life wau uxtiuct in. five luinutoa.

GRANT’S RETIREMENT.
FULL PARTICULARS OF HOW THE
BILL PASSED MUSTER.
Forty-Eighth Congress’ Fitting Finale.
Stormy Scenes in the House anti the
Serenoness of the Senate—Rank
and Pay of General.
Washington, March 6.- Mr. Randall, af
ter having suLj si. the conference report
on the sundry <•■. il appropriation ball, asked
the unnti nous consent to take from the
speaker's table and pass the Grant retirement
bill. [Applause.] Bennett, of North Caro
lina, and Waller, of lowa, objected. Ran
dall then moved to suspend the rulea and
place the bill on its passage, but the speaker
ruled that the motion was not in order pend
ing a decision of an election case. Randall
then endeavored to secure his point by mov
ing to suspend the rules and lay the lowa
elect ion case on the table, but tl a sjxiaker de
cided that this was equally out <f order.
The confusionand excitement in the Cham
ber were intense. Dozens of memlier were on
their feet demanding recognition, but above
the Babel of voices rang out Randall’s voice
appealing to Bennett, of North Carolina, to
withdraw the election case. Finally, when
ho could lie heard, Mr. Bennett, said that if
the house would consent to vote on the Fred
ericks-Wdson case all objection to Randall’s
motion would lie withdrawn. This declara
tion was greeted by a storm of “consents”
from the republican side, and the confusion
was so great that it required five minutes’
diligent work by the sergeant-at-arms with
his mace in his hand before comparative order
was restored.
Thon Mr. Wilson, of lowa, contested in an
election case, arose, and amid a storm of
cheers on the republican side, said that if t ie
house would put Gen. Grant on the retired
list ho was willing to bo sacrificed. Mr. Mil
ler, of Pennsylvania, who had Linen leading
the filibustering against the election case,
said that if the house would permit a vote on
Mr. Randall’s motion the opposition to the
election cast' would Lie withdrawn. This was
greeted by shouts of objection from the dem
ocratic ride, nnd Mr. Randall, rushing down
to the space in front of the e.erk’s desk, cried
out: “Don’t let anything stand in the way;
agree to anything.” Then said Miller: “In
order that there may lie no excuse, L with

After another scene of confusion Mr. Ben
nett demanded the previous question on the
resolution of the commit I ■ ' on elections, de
claring Fredericks enti I led to the seat. The
resolution was adopted without any opjxjsi
tion from the Republican side, and instantly
upon Fredericks taking the oath of office,
Randall was on his feet with his motion to
suspend the rules and pass the senate bill for
the retirement of G<*nei*al Giant, without
specifically naming him.
Mr. M< Mullen demand a second, while
shouts of ‘•shame,” “oh, don’t go back on your
word,” and ‘ chat’s fair,” went up. Nearly
ever member was on his feet, adding to the
tumult, and prominent among them were
Cassidy and Robertson, of Kentucky, de
manding fair play. Again did the services of
the seargent-at-arms and his mace become
necessary to scat the members, and then a
second having been considered as ordered,
McMullen, Stocksiager and Watson briefly
opposed the bill as inaugurating a system of
civil pen ions. Randall, who, under the
rales, was entitled to fifteen minutes debate,
waived tip? right, and the yeas and nays were
immediately taken on the motion to suspend
the rules and pass the bill. As the name of
Mr. Fredericks, the newly-elected member,
was called, and as he arose and voted in the
affirmative, friends of the bill treated him to
a round of applause. The motion to suspenj
the rules and pass the bffi was agreed to—-
yeas, I'- ■: u- j’s, 18.
The announcement of the result was hailed
with three cheers and with long and continued
applause.
Mr. Skinner asked unanimous consent that
the speaker be authorized to send a tele
graphic dispatch to Gen. Grant announcing
to him the result of the vote.
At first objection was made by Mr. Cobb,
but it was subsequ otly withdrawn, and the
speaker was authorized as stated.
The senate received a message from the
house announcing the passage of the oill au
thorizing the president to place one person
on the retired list of the army. [Applause/
The bill was read at length.
Mr. Ingalls then said: “Mr. President, the
nation knows who that one person is. I ask
unanimous consent that reference of this bill
to a committee be waived, and that it be now
considered by the senate.”
The presiding officer (Garland) stated the
bill was a senate bill, and nothing further
was necessary to make it a law except the
pro; H?r signatures. [Applause. ]
Mr. Edmunds, resuming the chair, stated
he had received a communication, which
would now tie read. He handed the com
munication to Chief Clerk Johnson, who
read as follows:
“To The Honorable George F. Edmunds, Presi
dent Fro Tempore of the United S utes Senate:
“The accompanying communication, al
though an executive message, may be read io
open session. Chester A. Arthur.”
The clerk read as follows:
“To the Senate of the United States:
I nominate Ulysses S. Grant, formerly gen
eral commanding the armies of the United
States, to be general on the retired list oi
the army, with full pay of such rank.
“Chester A. Arthur.
“Executive Mansion, March 4,1885.”
The president pro tom. of the senate then
announced that the nomination would be
con.-idered in open session.
•‘The question is: Will the senate advise
and consent to this appointment? All sen
ators in favor will say ‘aye.’ [A storm oi
ayes.] All opposed ‘no.’ [Dead silence. 1
The ayes have it unanimously.’’
This announcement was received with
thunders of applause both in the galleries
and on the floor.
