Thought to be Sherman's Successor. 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. SENATE. Special Dispatch to The lieo. WASHINGTON , March 1.
