CAPITAL NOTES.
8pad * ! Dispatch eg to The Bee.
The last cabinet session under the
preient administration , m > a hold yes
terday afternoon.
THE EXTRA SESSION.
The first Cleveland troops which
accompanied Garfield as an escort ar
rived on another section of the train
on which ho arrived , and at once pro
ceeded to their quarters. Gen. Garfield -
field , accompanied by his wife , called
at the executive mansion shortly after
eleven o'clock , and joined the presi
dent and his family in their private
parlor shortly afterward. The presi-
lent and Gen. Garfield retired for a
irlef oonaultation on the subject of
convening the senate in extra session ,
and it was decided to call the session
ror the fourth of March. The presi
dent will accordingly issue hii procla
mation to that effect. Geu. Garfield
deems it proper that the usual ens-
, ems should bj observed in convening
the extra session. The republicans
can easily reorganizs the sanate after
the new senator from Wisconsin has
arrived. Ic is stated , however , that
the democrats trill secure an adjourn
ment before that time , and prevent
the republicans from securing control
until -December next , trusting that
something _ or other nny transpire in
the meantime to prevent it even at
that time.
CABINET MATTERS.
Neither Conkling or Blaine were In
; heir seats to-day , 2nd this gave rise
io a report that they were in consul
tation with G rfield. It Is expected
cabinet matters will como to a crisis
ipeedily. A prominent senator said
10 expected at least four cabinet
places would bo settled by Wednes
day evening , the special executive
session of the senate hSvlng
jjon called for Friday next. It Is be
lieved that the president-elect has vir
tually determined upon several mem-
jers of his cabinet , and that their
names will be tsnt In at once. It is
rumored that Senator Winrlom will
30 secretary of the treasury , and there
are many reasons for believing the
rumor not to bo wholly groundless.
It Is known that the new secretary
must come from the west , and Sena
tor Windom is as well fitted for the
position as any candidate mentioned
trora. that section. It-is , also known
that Mr. Garfield does not wish to
bring into his administration any of
the quarrels of the present one , and
the selection of Mr. Windom can give
no offense to any -wing of the party.
He was himself a candidate for the
presidential nomination before the
convention which selected Garfield ,
and incurred no ill will from the sup
porters of any of the candidates.
With his known sympathy with the
views of the president-elect in money
matters , there seems to be no good
reason to doubt that'he will be made
Garfield'e minister of finance.
CONGRESSMEN INTERVIEWED ON THE
FUNDING BILL.
.Efforts were made last night to ob'
tain some expression of opinion from
congressmen ou the funding bill , with
the following result :
'
Said Mr. Robinson , of Mass. : "I
am , of course , in favor of a 3 per
cent refunding bond , but if Mr. Carl
isle's section was eliminated from the
present bill , I don't think It would be
a bad measure. "
Said Mr. Frye , of Maine : "We
can't refund the debt of 1881 at 3 pei
cent. I adhere to my original opin
ion to that effect. The loan author
ized by this bill cannot bo floated ai
par. If the rate was 3i per cent , and
the Carlisle section was out , it would
be a good bill"
Ssid Mr. Hawley , of Conn. : "I am
for the 3 par cent bond , of course ;
but I do not approve of the 3 par cent
factious agitation to defeat the fund-
in C bill. "
Said Mr. Tucker , of Va. : "We can
refund at 3 per cent without difficul
ty. The present bill is a good one ,
and its execution will bo easy. "
Said Mr. Carlisle , of Ky. : "With-
oat doubt a 3 per cent bond will float
at par. "
There is excellent authority for the
statement that the president will vote
the funding bill , should it be sent tc
him , in the present shape , at least
such Is his determination at this time.
Tip to a late hour yesterday after
noon Gen. Garfield refusid to receive
visitors , although a number called.
Secretary Sherman did not tendct
his resignation yesterday , but an
nounced that he will do so on Thurs
day.
day.It
It has been determined to hold s
special meeting of the cabinet on
Thursday morning.
All yesterday afternoon the main
parlors of tha R-ggs house , occupied
by Gen. and llr * . Garfield , were
thronged by distinguished statesmen
and politicians , who come to pay their
respects to the president elect.
HOUSE.
Special dispatch to TOT Bn
WASHINGTON , D. C. , March 1.
The deficiency appropriation bill ,
reported an * ordered printed , appro
priated over § 4,000,000. The agri
cultural appropriation bUI was re
ported , and the houto concurred in
the senate amendment increasing the
aggregate amount 325,000. The bill
now goes to the president.
Further conference was ordered on
the district of Columbia appropria
tion bill ; also & conference on "the
fortification approprlition bills.
An attempt was made to take up
the funding bill , but supporters of ihe
apportionment bill antagonized it
A vote was taken resulting in favoi
of going on with the business on the
speaker's table. The vote stood 164
to 61.
After a long debate on points ol
order , the conference report on thi
river and harbor bill was presented ,
and as a privilege had precedence !
The report shoved an Increase by sen
ate of $962,000 , making the tola
amount 117,141,800. Objection wai
made that the rules required a de
tailed statement. Each item wa
overruled. A called result was zgreec
to at 1:20 p. m. , when fillibuaterlnj
against the funding bill was resumed
Conger leading opposition ,
Yery little business was transacted
during the afternoon session beside :
disposing of house bills with senate
amendments.
Fillibustering again commenced al
the beginning of the night eeaaion ,
and continued for some time.
Finally th'e amendments relating to
the funding bill were reached. Thic
had been patiently awaited , and not
only absorbed the attention of the
house , but also of the lobby aud the
many outsiders all day. Its fate is
the one theme of discussion , both in
side and outside of the house. Corri
dors of the hotels have boon crowded
all day , and to-night the crowd does
not seem to have lessoned. Many
bankim ; houses haw agecta hero who
use the telegraph almost continually
to keep their employers informed con
cerning every move that la made at
this hour. It is thought that the bill
will pass , but In what shape can not
bo foretold. It may bo so amended
ai to induce the president to sign it.
The friends of the bill are confident ,
and seem determined to force its pas
sage. Ita opponents may possibly
abandon the fight , trusting to delays
and amendments in the senate , or ex
ecutive veto to kill it altogether.
A'ter the amendments had been
offered , the speaker iuquired whether
separate votes were demanded.
Mr. Conger said he would demand
separate votes on all the amend
ments.
Mr. Mills suggested that separate
votes would hardly be demanded on
items upon which they had allowed.
Mr. Conger replied that there might
be a difference of opinion about them ,
and demanded a separate vote on the
amendment that no treasury note of
a less denomination than $100 shall be
registered , but it was agreed to.
Mr. Conger also demanded a sepa
rate vote on the amendment provid
ing fiat the cost of issuing the new
notes should not exceed half of ono
per cent. The house bill recom
mended one quarter of ono per cent.
The amendment was retained.
Mr. De L Matyr offered a motion
to recommit the bill to the committee
on ways and means with instructions
to Incorporate the name to the Slat
amendment ; that whenever any na
tional banking association shall so re
tire its circulation in whole or in part ,
asjprovided by law , it shall be the
dutv of the secretary of the treasury
to cause tobo leauci and
placed in circulation legal tenders
} f like amount , and Uio national bank
which shall have diminished Its circu-
tion after September , 1881 , shall be
entitled to increase the amount of Its
circulation. The amendment was
ruled out on tbo ground that It was
rermano to the amendment to which
it was proposed.
Mr. Tucker , on behalf of the com
mittee , offered an amendment strik
ing out and Inserting certain words in
the last clause of s the 1st aectlon ,
so as to make it read as follows :
"And if it shall happen that more
than the entire amount of said bonds
and treasury notes , or either of them ,
has been subscribed within said thir
ty days , he shall award the full
amount subscribed to all persons who
shall have " 'made bonafido subscrip
tions in the order of time of such sub
scriptions at rates most advantageous
to the United States. "
This was objected to yeas 13 , nays
111 , and the amendment of the sen
ate was retrined. The senate amend
ment proposes that the secretary shall
award the full amount subscribed to
all persons who have made bonafide
subscription to the sum of $2,000 , or
less , and the residue rateable among
the subscribers In proportion to the
amount respectively subscribed.
Mr. Springer moved io reconeidei
the vote last taken and to lay that
motion on the table. " *
Mr. Conger demanded the yeas anc
nays. * -
The yeas and nays were ordered
and'the motion to table was agreed t (
by 110 to 96.
Mr. Conger then moved to adjourn
and after roll call a recess until 10 3 (
was taken.
When the honso reassembled it wai
found impossible to got a quorum
and at 12:45 : a recess wai taken until
10 a. m. to-morrow.

WASHINGTON , March 1 4 p. m.
There were no incidents of.special
note last night. After passing Altona
the president elect and party rested
quietly and comfortably. At Harrisburg -
burg where they arrived at 3:20 : a. m.
there was a stop of about 15 minutes ,
the longest made at any station after
leaving Moutor. Theve the secretary's
car which had been in the
middle of the train was pnt
at the front , the president' !
car remaining st the rear. There were
few people , save railroad employes , at
the depot. From there , the ruu was
made to Baltimore without stop. The
train reached Baltimore a1. 7:30 : a. m.
and remained there about ISminutoa
whilaafrcsh enginoywas biought to the
front of the train.
Gen : Garfield , about 7:30 , emerged
from his bed room , smiling and bid
ding his friends good morning In his
cheerful manner , remarking on th'e
brightness of the weather , which was
in marked contrast with the snowstorm
through which the train passed nearly
all day yesterday. At eight o'clock
coffee and plain lunch were served
the family and guests , treat-
fast being postponed until they
arrived at Washington. From Balti
more to Washington there were few
incidents of interest. At a few
minutes before nine o'clock the con
ductor notified Gen. Garfield that the
train was nearlng Washington. Wraps
wore adjusted , overcoats put
on and at 9:05 : the train haltod.
The conductor cried Washington , and
the president-elect with his venerable
mother leaning upon his arm descend
ed from the reat platform of the car
and acknowledged the presence of the
inauguration committee as he passed ,
and led the way to the depot.
IN WASHINGTON.
Special Dlepatch to Tni Bn.
WASHINGTON , March 1,4 p. m.
GenGarfield and party arrived in this
city at 9 o'clock this morning. All are
well.
well.The
The crowd at the depot waa not so
largo nor enthusiastic as might have
been expected , owing to the fact that
the exact hour of errival was not gen
erally known , and because of cold
and also because Gen. Garfield had
expressed a wish that there should bane
no formal demonstration at the depot.
His reception was of a very informal
character , a committee of citizens be
ing the only body to receive him.
A detachment of police kept the
passage way open through the crowd ,
and when Gen. Garffeld alighted from
the. train he was escorted to his car
riage. He walked through the depot -
pot arm in arm with his mother ,
who was at once taken in charge by
Webb C. Hayes. A carriage was
waiting for he r , and she was driven
directly to the executive mansion as
the special guest of President and
'
Mrs. Hayes. Tha preaiden'Ual
party was hailed' 'with cheers ,
aud clapping of hands as they were es
corted through the depot. They
were escorted to the carriages and
driven at once to the Rigga house
where a special suite of apartments
had been prepared for them.
General and Mrs. Garfield
retired at once to their rooms , since
which time they have been resting
quietly. For the pasr ( three days the
committee in charge of the decorations
have been busily engaged in complet
ing the arches erected of Pennsyl
vania Avenuedecorating public build
ing ) , etc. , and preparing for the grand
display on inauguration day.
There was no demonstrtion at the
depot when Garfield arrived , and but
few persons were waiting at the de
pot. The president elect does not
look as though he had been worried
by advio regarding the formation of
hi ? cabinet during the past month.
There is a great feeling of relief among
politicians that Garfield is here , and
he will have no end of callers during
the next forty-eight hour a. Cabinet
speculations iuo not plentiful to-day ,
which is attributed to Garfield's arri
val.
