Senate. Washington, March 24—The beginning *f what is expected to be the last week of the “special” session of the senate opened dear and bright, but decidedly wintry. A heavy snow tell and a sharp, crisp wind from the northwest, howled around the capitol building, which apparently caused the senators to forget what the session was called for. Mr. Hendricks directed the chaplain te proceed with prayers, but there were only four senators present Before the journal was read Mr. Miller, of flaw York, moved that the senate adjourn, which motion, he said, was the only one Ln order, there being no quorum present. Messrs. Vest and Sawyer expressed ths hope that the motion would not prevail At this moment Messrs. Ingalls, Edmundf and Morrill entered the chamber. Mr. Mil lar withdrew his motion and the chair di rected the reading of the journal, after which they proceeded with the consideration of ths Weil-Labra private Mexican claims. Every precaution was taken at the capitol to prevent “leaks,” and an additional door keeper was stationed in the lobby leading te the reporters 1 gallery, and all employes of the senate had rigid instructions not to tall with outsiders and carefully scrutinize a! persons entering the reporters 1 gallers. Thi tt is suspected is for the purpose of making ■ore no executive secret shall reach the eat «f the public. A resolution which was adopt? I Saturda '. oxtending an injunction of secrecy until ■ ab.il become public by the proclamation o the president, has created a good deal of coi ment, and in a leader the Post says: “It is impossible that the senate should ha hept pace with the rapacity of the press, ” a. enquires “Why may not the senate acc . Mtuation to the extent of furuishing the pu lie day by day, with such synopsis of its uc Mons and discussions in secret sessions as ma; not conflict with conscientious obligations tc foreign powers, or confidential intererta." 1 suggests that thb Is Is aD eorreapondenta a*, •nd is nothin? hut what the senate could Satin S ” tLuni’b grant without any compromise or its digni ty, and concludes by intimating that the star chamber process is unworthy of the American senate. In executive session, the subject under dis cussion was a supplemental treaty between the United States and Mexico, proposing the rehearing of the Well-la Abra Mexican claims. The only interest in this treaty is centered in the respective claimants to who it is alleged money is due for seizure* made upon property by Mexico. The matter was once arranged by treaty, I but Mexico claimed that fraud . and forgery had been resorted to by Ameri cans, hence a new treaty. Owin ' to the strict enforcement of the new rule on preserving the senate secrete, all that could be ascer on the subject was that elaborate speeches in favor of a ratification of this treaty w®r* made by Senator* Morgan and Voorhees. Army Affair*. Washington, March 24.—C0l Geo P. Andrews, of th* Ist artillery, having reached th* age of sixty-two years, will be placed on the retired list Private Fr.uik C.

Wahhington, March 24.- The president did not attend church Sunday but Mrs. Hoyt and Miss Cleveland did. They o«'cupied a pew in Dr. Sunderland s church. To those , residents of Washington who have been deeply interested in knowing where the pres ident will attend church regularly it will bo gratifying to learn that he has taken a ]»ew at Dr. Sanderland's church ou Four-and-a half street.

Red Cloud came out in all the glory of a shiny black suit, white shirt, high hat and Mvoral bright-colored handkerchiefs. Slightly Off. Washington, March 24. The hotel gos sip* have !>a*n much exercised to learn what was done at a cabinet meeting which they *aid had held at the white house. The fact is there was no cabinet gathering, for 'mal or informal, and therefore no consider* tion of urgent business.

The Birthday Feast Princely Prepara tions —Paris Potpourri —German Glean ings— Mexico Melange—ltalian Items —Foreign Notes. Berlin, March 24.—The enthusiasm and demonstration of loyalty exhibited on the emperor’s eighty-eighth birthday, have never been equalled. The city was decorated with Hags, an l the monument to Frederick the Great was hun ■, with flowers provided at the expense of Bmiruruder, the banker. The enq»eror had a severe cold and was very hoarse, and although the usual re ception was given he did not make his cua tomar v ifpeech. The prince of Wales wore the uniform of a Prussian hussar. He looked splendid, like a Prussian soldier, which is the highest compli ment that can Im? made herw The emperor gave a dinner of 200 cover* in honor of his guests, to which Mr. Kasson, the American ambasador, was invited. All the schools thr< mghout G erinany «*lel »rated the birthday. Addresses were male, premi ums were given and school holiday followed. The ein | >eror enjoys a wonderful freshness. He personally does the honors to all guests, driving around to half a dozen hotels and places wlvre they lodge. It would bo no small piece of work for » much younger man to see many hundreds of people in one day. The presence of the Prince of Wales, who is always a welcome guest in Berlin ou ac count of his good natured disposition, is look<-l upon as a political event of great sig n ’ rri • Though Prince Bismarck asserted op.y a few days ago that polities must not Im* influenced by dynastic considerations, it must t*e admitted tliat the friendly relation existing between members of European dy nasties is at least promotive of the interests » .a. .• latioaal politics. late difference® tx»vwe'ii Gc.hitiiy and Engiaa l would cer tainly not have been so satisfactorily settled if i .1 no been for the a -tive sym >,ithy of th*' np'iei forth- English royal imily. This friendship this from the time when Kai er William, as prince of Prussia, lived in London in a sort of banishment. Thecor respoudonce between him and Hr- prince con sort, piililishcd a few years ago, is a beauti ful testimony of the friendship established al that time and which exists to this day Lm>- tw<M*n th«» emperor and Queen Victoria. Iu the coming year important documents will be published showing this intimacy Ijotween th*' two dynasties. Tiie emperor is very i ..hl of the Prince of Wales, as is also Hie cro i prince Ac th'* court dinner the emperor announced the betrothal of his grandson, the here btary grand ou.;e of Bailed, with the Princess Hilda, of Nassau, daughter of the depossessed duke.

Pari* Pot-Pourri, Pafur, March 24.—The red flag during the past week hits waved gloriously over six hun dnwl punch bowls in various quarters of Paris, but in spite of bombastic prediction® khe anniversary of the commune passed off iu smoke and tail talk.

But far more interesting than the case of M. Lassalle is that of Mme Francey, a pro vincial beauty, who a few days hence will Imj tried at Tonnerre for shooting a Lovelace who had pestered her with his attentions. The affair is so full of dreadful details that it is difficult to touch it without offending readers Mme. Francey threatens such start ling revelations that Lhe court may have to hear the case with dosed doors. The coming yachting season promises to be an eventful one. M. Henri Menier has bought the xN’ubianne of M. Edmond Blanc. The now owner has changed the name of the Nubienne, to the Vel (eda, and soon starts in her on a long cruise to India and the China seas. M. Me nier is one of the most intrepid French yachtsmen, and has aln aily distinguished himself by a journey to the Polar sea Germany. BKRLIN, March 24. —The sultan of Turkey lent a special commissioner to Berlin to con fer the grand cordon of the or ler of Mehami Irntiaz upon the crown prince and Bismarck.

JONATHAN P. HECK’S WILL. A Descendant of Barbara Heck Bequeath* Some Valuable Church Relic*. New York, March 24 The will of Jona than P. Heck, who dies! a few days ago in Mount Vernon, which has just been admitted to probate iu the surrogate’s court at Whitt Plains, contains the curious bequest of a bar rel of tinware to a daug 'rand of a “Barban Heck candlestick” to his sou, Charles W. Heck. The candlestick is a family heirloom of methodism m America. Jonathan Huck whs a direct desceiuiant of Barbara and Paul Heck, whose church work in this city forms the most interesting chapter in the history of methodism This candlestick ii is one of the old style brass affairs of the las« century, and it was used by Barliara Heck, so the family tradition says, to light the pul pit m the old John Street Methodist church upon the evening of the dedication by Philip Embury, September 30, It has bean in the family ever since. Mr®. Heck and her husband landed in this city on the 10th of August, 1760. Philip Embury, her cousin, had prectshsl her ihreu years, having lmen sent by John Wesley to the New World tc preach Methodism. His small flock soon scattered, and when Mrs. Heck arrived aht found no church, no society, no preacher. She used every means at her com mand to excite a religious revival and f illed. Desperate at her ill success she one day found a party of young men playing cards in Mr Embury’s house. She seized the cards and threw them into the tire. Then she command 'd Embury to gut up and preach the gospel inert' and then. En^ bury dwelt in a humble cottage in Barrack street, now Park place. Mr. Heck went in to the street and pulled m four per sons and directed Embury to preach to them. This was the nucleus of Methodism in New York. VV'ith the assistance of the his torical Uapt. Thomas Webb, of the British army, who used to exhort in his uniform, with hissword in his hand. Hit* society gi*ov\ until they were able to rent a loit in William stns’t. Embury, Webb and Mrs. Heck held tri-weeklv meetings. From this grew the amous John Street Methodist church, Mrs. Heck being the person who raised all the funds and designed the structure which was built by Embury, who was a car penter Mr. Heck in his will also bequeaths a number of love-feast tickets to his son which wort' used in this old church. Having finished her work iu New York Mrs. Heck went to (.'anada, where she organized another society, ami died there soofi alter. Mr. Jona than Hec» was always a most ardent church man mid one who was inure thoroughly n* opectetl than any in Mount Vernon. PANIC PREVENTED By thw I’roinptltade of Firemen and Po lice h‘ a I ire in a Crowded School. New York, March “4. Fire broke out iu tlie Five I’oiute Mission school just as thei children began the morning recitation. The flames originated in the rooms oceupie I by Mrs. Christina Harman aul her three child ren. The mother had gone to work and loft the three children alone in Hie rtMims. They had been burning pa;sir and thus set fire to the furniture. An alarm was promptly sounded, ami the teachers with great difficulty succeeded in keeping the children from becoming panio stricken. News of the fire spread rapidly, and soon the building was surrounded by the frenzied parents and relatives, who tried to force an entrance to resume the children. They jammed all the passages to the struc ture when the police arrived and drove them out The firemen soon hod the Are under con trol, confining the flames to the basements in which it originated. The teachers unite id saying that but for the prompt arrival of the polio *an I firemen a tcrribl ■ panic, in which hundreds of children would have lost their lives, must have ensued, as fully 600 children were in the school. Fortunately, with the exception of one fireman who fell from a ladder to the cellar and was badly in jured, no one was hurt. PLEUROPNEUMONIA. Another Examination of the Asvlum Herd of Cattle at Fulton. Fulton, Mo., March 24.—James W. Payn, A. B. Matthews, C. Powell, E. Dundas, Dr. H. B. Setan and Dr. G. Bates arrived here from Kansas City. They come here repre senting the stock interest of Kansas City and the state to examine for themselves Hie asy lum herd of cattle, to see whether or not they have the disease known os contagious pleuro pneumonia. Payn and Matthews are largely interested in cattle and are looking for pointe. They brought with them two veterinary surgeons, ujiou whose judgment they could rely. They came as a party of doubting Thomases. Dr. Trumbower selected an ol<l case from the herd and had the cow killed. The lungs showed the disease most plainly, arid the surgeons were satisfied that it was < ori agious plenro-pneurnouia. After much inqu.ry and the examination Payn and Matthews are sat isfied as to the certainty of the disease and would recommend that the entire herd lie de stroyed, so that the further spread of the disease may be prevented. The opinions of these men and their interest can not be ig nored. Ilorsen Without Owners.

GENERAL GRANT’S GLOOM OVER HIS APPROACHING DEATH. Thr Ohl Commander** Mental Agony— Mourning for Thone Who Font by Him. Haunted by Regrets*—Parson New man —Coinlltiou of Patient. New York. March 24.—Gen. Grant fi reading more i - .ut the trial of James D Fish than Hiiyi* »dy can who relies on th« publish 'd ]■ ' Hirts, for the newspaper® squeeze each way s proceedings into a quarter to hall a column, while be gets the stenograph!* verbatim report. This is provided to him. on his urgent request, by order of Judge Ben edict, who is presiding in the United Htatei court, where Grant & Ward’s silent partuei is being tried for violating the linking law® The shorthand notes of the testimony an taken to the general's house every eveniaj and read to him. It was through Fish’s cob nection with th* swindle that Grant wai drawn into it. H* was president of * leadinf bank, a financier of reputed solidity, an< possessed considerable wealth. Therefore when he seemed to trint young Ward im plicitly, Grant blindly followed his example To tins day Grant is »>t clear in his mind whether Fish w r as Ward’s confederate or vic tim, though now’ almost brought to the for iner view, and he is a self-constituted jury determined to convict or acquit the prisonei on the evalence. Gen. Grant’s inability to sleep comes nol so much from condition of the body as from the rest of the mind. He has it firmly rout ed that lie is going out in disgrace and under a cloud, and all that his friends can say tc him in no wise changes his belief. He talki very freely with certain of his intimates or the subject, and he tells them of his mortifi cation ami chagrin that ne should have been du;>ed by Wall, and that so many per sous should have lost money by him. He thoroughly understands, and indeed it is the truth, that Ward used the name of Graut tc carry on his schemes, and that many person.* were led into them because they had confi deiici* in Grant. And so Grant, with a nieti tai disease upon him, and conscious that his end is at hand, r sts with wakeful eyet day in and day out, and thinkje, thinks, thinks. He tells his dear est friends that the responsibilities ol battle and of leading the armies of the nation gavt'him no such concern as has this Ware business; that rest in the white house in th* critical period when the country was recover ing from the effects of civil war, was sweet compari'd to the rest that has come to him in the last nine months. He had hoped tha< fort une-might in some way smile on him, sc that ho might r ‘turn to those who have luel it the money thus wasted. He would write, he would work, he w-ould do anything to re move this stain from the family. But he was attacked by a disease that must prove fabd, and soon ho became too weak and too sick to stir out of the house. 8<» ho silently and grimly, without u word of complaint, ke«'ps his couch ami hi> easy chair, and thinks. He mourns because he cannot make restitution and b<'cause he ii helpless. It preys upon him so that ho can nut sleep. He knows that he must die soon, and he is oppressed with the thought that he is in disgrace because of the failure of the firm' Grant & Ward through the dishon est yol one of the partners. He does not feai de iih, his friends say, but he does desire tc make goud all the losses sustained by Grant Ward. This t hought and the idea that he is m disgrace is hastening his death. Strange that Gun. Grant should have taken such a liking to Parson Newman. To see the two men together you would not imagine that they had any tastes in common. New man is not bright or qnick of wit or learned. He is slow in conversation, as is Grant, and you get no information from what he says. Yet Grant has never let Newman get far away from him since their friendship first ripened in Washington in Grant’s first term there, sixteen years ago. The parson could always roam all over the white house un molested, and was ever and always wel come there Grant did all in his power tc help Newman along, and it was Grant’s in fluence that brought the parson on to New York and established him over a then pros perous church. There was, it must l>e ad mitted, a great deal of politic® connected with the church, and in the end the congregation split and the parson had to go, but not until G rant had suffere*! through the failure ol Grant & Ward, and had been attacked by an incurable disease. Friends of the general’s say that there is none whom he loves mort outside bis family than Newman, and as it was plain that Grant must die, Newman was summoned from California and he has lived in the same house with th* Grants since his arrival. Newman’ssermow never attracted attention either here or in Washington, an<l what Grant could find to admire in him will always remain a mystery. Yet Grant clings to him as to a brother, and will not let him quit the house for an hour without knowing just when he would return. That Newman is a great comfort to the sick man is conceded on all sides. Wide Grant has millions of a*linirers, the number of hit intimate friends are very few. The silent man never seemed to enjoy what all me® se k, the companionship of other men. H* idolized his family and he loved Parson New man and a few others, but they do not count up half a score all told. Gen. Grrnit passed a good night and ros* at 8 o’clock. His great depression the lasi few days has given away at this hour to i feeling of cheerfulness. An insurrertion.
