In the homo toduy Major McKlulejr of Ohio
presented n bill extending the tlmo from ten
to thirty days during winch a vacancy In a
cabinet ofllco may bo Illlod by the transfer of
na assistant. It was adopted without delay.
Tomorrow the senate committee on finance
will meet to consider the message of Presi
dent Harrison on the subject , and Senators
_ A.VWch and Hisrockof tbo committee said
today that it was probable the bouse bill will
bo promptly reported to the senate nnd passed.
The president can for tlio present dismiss
from his mind the question of _ Secre
tary Windom's succossorahlp. IIo will not
bo required to make a nomination till after
the close of this congress , Mured 4 , unless ho
wishes to aet sooner. It Is believed that he
will send to the senate the nomination of a
f ocrulary of the treasury during the last week
of the session. Senator Spooncr of Wiscon
sin has taken himself out of the mouth of the
cabinet slate makers by announcing that h
would not accept the position If It were ten
dered to him-as , lie Is not fitted for routine
or departmental work , Hcsidcs It is very
well known now that President Harrison
does not want to take two olllcers from the
same state. This fact will put a quietus
to the talk of Hon. John C. Now nnd James
N. Huston of Indiana. Both of these men
huvobeeu favorably mentioned. Ills proba
ble that Senator Atdrleh of Khodo Island
would bo asked to take tlio treasury portfolio
if it were not for the fact that his successor ,
whether appointed by the governor or elected
hy the legislature , would bo n democrat.
Senator Aldrleh Is thoroughly lilted for tlio
pluco by natural latent and his training and
study , us n member of the senate committee
on finance , nt the head of which ho has really
been for years. A number of well known New
Yorkers who attended the funeral of the
dond secretary toilr-v did some StromInlkitig
for Hon. Cornelius N. Bliss of their state.
They also Bald the transfer of Secretary
Tracv would be popular. It is no secret that
President Harrison has always contended
that the treasury portfolio should never go
to New York , It for no other reason , because
ttiu state Is so much Interested in treasury
affairs and it is universally charged that
"Wall strcot lias hold of the throat of the gov-
mnenl's treasury. Sethis should put nil
id to the talk of Now York supplying the
vacancy. All the circumstances considered
HuprescntatlvoMcKlulcy of Ohio stands more
marked In the Hues of probabilities than any
other man. ills Illness , by reason of his
study of the tariff , which is Just now the all-
Important part of the dutiesof the secretary
of the treasury , und tbo general reputation
of the man , together with his close relations
with the president , and the further fnot that
Ohio is not represented In tlio cabinet , makes
it very Jikely that the positionwill , bo ten
dered tcfhlm , especially in view of the exten-
Dion of the time when the nomination must
be made. Ohio republicans and personal
friendsof , Major MoKlnloydoubt whether
ho would accept the place if ten
dered to him , as ho has been ,
by acclamation of his party and , fnr in ad
vance of the opening of Iho campaign , se
lected for the gubernatorial r.ico In Ohio this
fall , Of course , If It should appear to the
president that Mnjor Mclvinloy was essential
to republican success in Ohio this fall , ho
would not insist upon his services In ttie
treasury department. Should Mnjor McKinley -
ley not get the place , for any reason , it would
crcato no surprise if Secretary Proctor o (
Vermont should bo transferred to the treas
ury. Secretary Proctor Is splendidly
equipped for the ofllcu. Ho is a iiiinii-
cier and has shown good executive aDllity
In the war department. Ho is popular und
'omes ' from astute with no financial ontanclc-
lieut. Proctor is n likely man. To tlio coun
try at large It is not n matter of importance
who is called to 1111 the place vacated by the
death of Secretary Wlndom. The policies
of the treasury department ore well detlned ,
They will bo continued under the now head
of the department as heretofore. A good
and safe limn will bo selected. Speaking In
a business way , the president's hand will al
ways appear In important movements of the
treasury department , and affairs will not be
changed from what they have been for nearly
two years.

Tlmo on the I'nce of the Dead
Statesman The Church
WASHINGTON , Fob , 2. The national capital
was truly n city of mourning today. The ex
ecutive departments and tbolr various
branches were closed all day , and congress
did not assemble until 2 o'clock in the af
ternoon. Thu fliv3 on all the public buildings
were displayed nt half must , also those of the
hotels and business establishments through
out the city , nuu thu largecolunms on the four
fronts of the treasury department were
heavily draped in black.
/riicsu honors were paid to the memory of
the late Secretary Wlndom , whoso remains
were committed to their last resting place
today. The navy department and depart
ment of Justice wore also draped in mourning
in honor of ex-Secretary Bancroft and ox-
Attorney General Devens.
The streets in tbo vicinity of the church
where the lost rites were performed were
crowded with men , women and children ,
who stood in respectful silence , many of
them with bared heads , as the mournful
cortege passed. The funeral was simple in
character nnd wllbout the least at
tempt at display or ostentation.
Tlioonly scmulanco to military honors was
the presenceof sixteen members of the treas
ury branch of the national guard who noted
as the body bearers aud marched beside the
hoarse. The civic funeral was so largo , how
ever , us to bo striking evidence of iho pee
ple's great love nnd esteem for the dead
statesman.
During the forenoon the body of the dead
secretary lay lu an open casket in the family
drawing room , Tbo face of the deceased
wore a culm and peaceful expression. The
sombro black covering of the casket was re
lieved by a , profusion -beautiful white
flowers In various designs , tributes ot loving
friends. On the casket the only decorations
were crossed plm leaves ana a rope of Eng
lish violets around the upper edge of the lid ,
'Tho house was thrown open to the public
between s und 11 o'clock ' , during which tlmo
there was a constant stream of people pass
ing through. At the latter hour the house
WIIH closed to visitors , and soon after relig
ious services were conducted by Ilev. Dr.
Ilnmlin , pastor of thu Church of tbo Cove
nant. These services were private , the Hf ty
persons present being membersoftho afflicted
family , near rolntlves , ttio president , vice
president unit members of the cabinet wltn
their ladles.
The funeral services nt the Church of the
Covenant began at lii o'clock , While exceed
ingly simple they were profoundly impres
sive. The ntlendnnco comprised all the lend-
Inpofllclals in Washington and their families ,
Including the president and cabinet , the
diplomatic corps , justices of the supreme
court nnd court or chums , senators
and representatives and ofllccrs of the
army and navy. The Ohio society of
New York was also represented. The
church was crowded nnd there was an 1m-
moiiso crowd surrounding it that could not
gam udinitanco. The church was devoid of
decoration except that many beautiful lloral
pieces were tastefully arramred at the front
of the pulpit platform. The pew formerly
occupied by tbo deceased was heavily draped
in mourning.
The services consisted of singing by a
"
quartette and n number of prayers. "Dr.
Hnmliu then reviewed the dead statesman's
life , portraying how , while following a farm
er's life Windom's amoition led him to es
pouse the profession of law. IIo traced
Windom's course through the house nnd sen
ate , paying thu highest eulogiums to his abil
ity ns u senator and representative.
At the conclusion of the church services
the remains were conveyed to Kock Creek
cemetery and there interred.
A company of old soldiers from the Na
tional Soldiers' homo , the grounds of which
adjoin Hock Creek cemetery on the east , bad
obtained permission to witness the closing
ceremonies nud , accompanied by General
Wllcox , governor of the homo , and other
ofllcers , they were drawn up In n double line
at the entrance gate nnd , as the long cortege
passed la and wound Its way under
thu dark thick foliage of overhanging evergreen -
green trees that border the principal avenue ,
the homo band , which headed the column of
veterans , played "Nearer My God to
Theo. "
The grave was on tbo side of n gently slop
ing hill , a little to the west and north of tbo
center of the grounds , and just at the foot of
a towering oak. The services at the grave
wore impressive.
Following the casket , which had been car
ried to the side of the open grave , came the
members of the cabinet , two by two , nnd
after them Airs. Wlndom , leaning heavily on
the arm of her son. Then catno two daugh
ters , and following them other relations and
friends. Mrs. MclCco on the arm of the pres
ident , Private Secretary Hnlford and other
members of the president's ofllelal houshold
were among those who came after.
When all had reached the side of the grave
Dr. Hamlm read a chapter from the bible and
then invoked the dlvlno blessing upon the
stricken family. IIo thanked God for the
good example which the dead secretary had
set for the world and prayed that the peace
which passoth ull understanding might sus
tain und comfort those who mount his
loss. Alter the casket was lowered the
weeping mother nnd children stopped to the
side of the grave , took their last look upon
the viole * Inden casket and then turned away.
The procession quickly re-formed and re
turned to the city.

twenty years , and resided with her father ,
who conducts a pie baliory.
In the evening the yotiug lady loft the
room in which her father , mother and sev
eral brothers \ ere seated aud went out to the
bakery , situated a few yards' from the house.
She had been there but a few minutes when
the door opened nnd a stratiger stopped into
the room. IIo asked her to' follow him , nud
on her refusal ho turned towards her with a
bottle and a handkerchief In his hands , and
after a moment's ' struggle the girl lost con
sciousness and was In his power. About ! )
o'clock the family became alarmed
nt her absence nnd tuo brothers
went to the bakery to llnd her. She
wus found lying in ( I pool of blood , just
outsluo the bakery door with her throat cut
from ono side to the other.1 After , hours of
work the girl became conscious nud though
she is badly wounded nnd has lost a large
quantity of blood It is now believed she will
recover.
Tbo doctor wlio attended the girl thinks
slio was assaulted and then that her assail
ant atteinnted to murder -her to escape de
tection from the eriino of outrage. She is
still too weak to toll the story In nil its de
tails. Enough has been learned to know Hint
she is aware w oherassallautls , and though
she doesn't knov his name it is probable
from his description ho may bd captured.

vas asked his opinion ns to the probable uc-
lon of the scuatorlul fight at SpfliigtlelJ.
Vlicn nsltcd whether1 Palmer would eventu
ally win the astute chairman of the rcpubll-
an sttkto central committee , ho gazed at his
questioner with Just n suggestion of pity in
lis eye , and replied , pointing to a lloor onm-
niont :
"Palmer has just ns much show of being
elected as that spittoon. "
"How about Oglcsbyl"
"His chance isn't ' n - bit better. Neither
is Strcetor's , "Why , neither 1'nliner nor
Ogles by can bo elected unless the farmers
vote for one of them , Mid they have time and
again declared to mo that they would never
do such a thin ? . I have nothing personally
against Palmer , neither have I against the
others , but this isn't a question of personal
'celmg. It's a stern light , the present condl-
.ionof which Is a deadlock. And any imnio
d late end I can't see. There arc some who
loclaro thut u senator will bo elected on
Wednesday. Well , I tun willing to bet $1,000
, hat there won't lo. "
There were no tatters nad after a pause
Mr , Jones continued :
"This talk about the democrats staying
vlth Palmer Is nil very line , but the demo
crats want to elect n senator , nnd seeing , as
they must certainly by tbls tlmo see , that
there is no hope of electing Palmer , unless
the republicans blunder and I can see very
easily how they might blunder , although I
don't ' think they will do so. They will ortor
o put up some one else if the Farmers' Mu
tual Ocnellt association will come under thtir
