VOL. X. 'THE C. 'IW J, BAYARD. MANNING, F DICOTT, WHIT- NEY, LA\. \R, VILA AND GARLAND. 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 Sailn Os® isaSte ©imts. 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.” AGED 106.

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. Dullin, March 6. -The lord mayor of Dub lin has published a statement that he regrets having threatened in the city council to lower the flag on the Mansion house when the Prince of Wales arrives in Ireland.

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.

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 ments. Thu United States marshal arrested Capt. W. L. Couch, M. H. Co i •a. George F. Brown, 11. H. Stafford, Col. \V -ox, Secre tary A. C. McCord, C. E. t.treater, D. J.

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. Hung. 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.

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 draw and permit a vote on the proposition of the gentleman from North Carolina, and 1 ask the house to treat us 1 airly on both votes. ” 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.
