NoTaBee FUNERAL Services HERE.—Wash- ington has within a few months been the scene of funeral services in honor of two assassinated Tulers of great nations—our President and the Czar of Russia; and also of services in memory of the dowager Empress of China. The latter were solemnized in May at the Chinese lega- tion, and those for the Russian Emperor at the Russian legation in March. is expected to arrive in SECRETARY Biat the city to-morrow. A QvorcM oF THE SzNATE will be in this city by to-morrow morning it is expected: A goodly nurfber of Senators arrived by last night’s and to-day’s trains and quite a number are expected to-night. Tue ScpreME Court Vacancy.—It is stated in creditable circles that the President will fill the vacancy on the United States Supreme bench by the middle of next week. The United States Supreme Court will meet on Monday next, and as the work is behind the necessity is pressing that the bench should be full. CnEcks ARE BrInG PREPARED in Treasurer Gilfillan’s office for the payment of the interest on the registered five per cent bonds of 1881, which have been continued at 319 per cent. There are 10,000 holders of these bonds. The continuation of these fives necessitated a new form of check. This check is very neat and makes known the continuation of the fives. The vignette on the left has been changed from that of ex-Secretary Stanton to ex-Secretary Fish. ‘The quarterly interest on these bonds falls due November 1 next. Tre Wuire House ImproveMENts.—Orders to dealers and other arrangements for improve- ments inside the White House were given to- day. The East room will receive some new fur- niture and a general overhauling. The recep- tion rooms down stairs will be refurnished and fitted up more neatly and with new goods. Up stairs there will be some improvements in the matter of furniture in the private part of the house. The public offices will also be put par- tially under the hand of the upholsterer and curtain hanger. The plan upon which all these changes will be made will be the same outlined by President and Mrs. Gartield before the 2d of July last. The appropriation for this purpose is not large, and onlya small amount of work comparatively can be undertaken. Tue Stak Route PRosecutions.—Messrs. A. M. Gibson and Wm. A. Cook hada lengthy con- ference with Acting Postmaster General Elmer this morning, presumably about the star route prosecutions. Senator Morrill, Representatives King and Valentine. and Judge Tarbell also called upon Gen. Elme Tue Nava AcapeMy Hazers.—The third class of cadets midshipmen have signed aledge not to “‘haze,” and have been released from the Santee, where they have been confined. Mrs. Lixcouy, wife of the Secretary of War, returned to the city this morning with her chil. dren from Rye Beach. The Secretary will be here Monday mornin, WRECKS ON THE NorTH Caro1ina Coast.

THE MINISTERS CALI, ON THE PRESIDENT.- The President’s Novements, HIS DINNER PARTY LAST WIGHT AND CALLERS T0-paY. Gen. B. F. Butler, Secretary Kirkwood and Gen. Sherman dined with President Arthur last night. To-day there were quite a number of notable callers on the President. Senators Logan and Don Cameron called in company and had along conference. Dr. Bliss called about noon and had an audience lasting over fifteen minutes. Mr. W. F. Stickney, of this city, also had a brief interview. Am the other callers were Senators Vest and Morrill and Representa- tives Valentine and Clark of Mo. Mr. Loffier, the doorkeeper at the Presidént’s door at the White House, has been detailed for duty at the Cait Hill quarters of the President. At two o'clock the members of the Lutheran synod, holding its sessions in this rotunda of the Capitol and sw on the President. The Ce was pen ‘ Mae! one to respects. The pastors of the city churches called also. The President shook hands with all, and after a very brief interview the ministers and laymen withdrew. The Cabinet Families, OFFICIAL AND SOCIAL. HARMONY. The possible (and it is thought most probable) breaking up of the late President Garfield's Cabinet recalls his remarks which have been published about the harmony which prevailed between the members of his Cabinet as well as between himself and each individual in it. It seems to have been the same also with the wives of those gentlemen, one of whom said lately that they had been thrown so much to- gether from the time of their husband’s ap- polatinents, and especially during Mrs.Garfield’s long illness and the President's still longer one, that they had grown to feel like members of one family. Probably there never was a time when a President's wife and the wives of his Cabinet officers were as much together during a short space of time as was the ease during the six months and two weeks of the Garfleld ad- ministration. It will be renfembered that at Mrs. Garfield's informal receptions on Tuesday and Friday evenings, last spring, some of these ladies were invariably present to assist her. They also accompanied her when she went to Long Branch an invalid, and spent most of their time in Washington after her return here, and then were againat Long Branch during the last week of the President's illness. It has rarely been the case before during the summer season that the families of Cabinet officers have been with them so continuously, as usually the ladies and children leave for the summer and their husbands visit them when they can. Seacrest Na Ss tea The Organization of the Senate. THE PARTY CONFERENCES—WHAT WILL PROBABLY BE DONE, Senator Pendleton, chairman of the Senate democratic caucus committee, in a letter recelved here this morning, says he will arrive in this city at two o'clock this afternoon. He will probably make his headquarters at the Arlington, as he has given up his K street house. There will be no democratic conference held to-night, as has heretofore been announced. The conference will be held at 11 o’clock to-morrow. It is said that a democratic Senator will ips charges affecting the status of Senator iller, of New York, but that he will be sworn inon his prima facie rights, and his credentials will be referred to the committee on_privile; and elections. There seems to be no doubt but that a democratic President pro tempore will be elected. After thatthe three new Senators will be sworn in. This will evenly divide the Sen- ate, and the other officers will be distributed in such a manner as may be compromised upon. Both the democratic and republfean caucuses will probably appoint a committee te wait upon each other to so arrange that the Simate's organiza- tion may be completed witheut unnecessary delay. ‘The session, it is thoug®t, will be brief, as the President, it is said, dées not intend to send in any nominations other’ than those ab- solutely necessary to fill vacancies, . assembled inthe mently called In accordance with a resolution recently adopted at the meeting of Evangelical ministers in the city, the ministers assembled at two o'clock this afternoon in the rotunda of the Capitol and pro- ceeded in a body to call on President Arthur. They were headed by Dr. Chester, chairman of the committee. The members of the Lutheran synod, now in session in this city, Joined in the ceremony, having adjourned for that purpose. THE TaLiapoosa left League Island navy yard yesterday afternoon for Norfolk and Wash- ington. WELCcoMING OvR Frencu Vistrors.—In a dis- patch to the Navy department Rear Admiral Wyman gives an account of the reception of the distinguished French visitors at New York. The report shows that every courtesy possible was extended to the visitors by the officers of the navy. THe YORKTOWN APPROPRIATIONS INSUFFI- c1eNT.—Under the provisions of the act of Con- gress, relating to the centennial celebration at Yorktown, Va., the sum of $20,000 was appro- priated for the entertainment of the foreign guests of the United States, and an equal sum Set apart to defray the expenses of the military celebration. It is now stated that the latter ap- propriation has already been expended, and that there willbe a deficit of about $9,500 which Con- gress will be appealed to to make good. The appropriation forthe entertainment of the for- eign guests is also insufficient, and it is likely that similar action will be taken with this fund. Navan Orpers.—Ensizn E. L. Reynolds, to examination for promotion. Midshipmen M. L. Reed, R. 0. Butler and A. C. Cunningham, from the naval academy and placed on waiting orders. Surgeon B. H.

Baird, to tem- porary duty on the Standish. Assistant Engi- J. Hoffman, to temporary duty on the Passed Assistant Engineer G. H. the coast survey steamer Blake. Tue StoLen Navy Document ReturNep.—As was expected the publication in last night's Star. of the stealing of an additional document from the Navy department by an alleged reporter had the desired effect. Chief Clerk Hogg received through the mails this morning the stolen docu- ment. It showed signs of having been through the printers’ hands. - The holes made by the copy hook were there, also other marks of the prinf- ers’ manipulation. The document was stolen by a representative of a city paper. It is known at | the department just who the individual is. Since i the paper has been returned Mr. Hogg may not | go any further in the matter. There is no doubt | but that conviction could be easily made. The law for such thefts imposes a punishment, con- sisting of $2,000 fine, or not more than two penitentiary, or both, jue of the document, Even if Mr. Hogg gi perhaps, be for the better that he should—it is | more such thievery among alleged newspaper men.

SECRETARY WINDOM AND THE TIGHT MoNEY MaRKeET.—There appears to be-no ground for supposing that Secretary Windem will at this time offer to redeem the bonds: embodied in the 105th_call without rebate of interest. Promi- nent Treasury officials maintain that statements to that effect are without the slightest foun- dation. They contend, moreover, that such action would not relieve tie’ stringency of the money market, inasmuch as the outlay from the ‘Treasury would be almost immediately swallowed up by’ the spec- ulators, and the market left in equally as bad condition as before the redemption occurred. Further than this thereis said to be no prece- dent for such a long anticipation of interest. It is believed by some prominent financial experts, however, that the Secretary will soon make additional payments from the Treasury, but in what manner he will proceded cannot now be predicted with any degree of certainty. SaLe OF Mines,—The Eureka, Garfield and Belcher silver mines in Pinol county, Arizona, bonded a few weeks since for $60,000 by Dr. C. P.

SUIT AGAINST §. J. TILDEN. FINANCIAL SITUATION IN NEW YORK. SERIOUS FIRE IN LIVERPOOL. DEFEAT OF ONE OF KEENE’S HORSES, Suit Against Tilden. PROCEEDINGS IN NEW YORK TO-DAY. New York, October 7.—The suit against Samuel J. Tilden, in regard to the New York iron mine, came up before Judge Blatchford to- day in the U. 8. circuit court. The action is brought by James M. Wilkinson, assignee in bankruptey, demanding an accounting of the profits of the New York tron mine. The busi- ness of the parties concerned had been carriea on in the upper peninsula of Michigan since 184, and it is said that the undisturbed profits amount to over 1,000,000. Of this Wilkinson claims about 5-16 from the estate, as Tilden’s partner in the concern. His interest is inthe form of 5,333 shares of Iron mines stock. This stock Tilden advertised for sale some days before his time to answer was about to expire. To restrain this call Judge Blatehfcrd, on the 31st of July last, on application of Mr. Sherman, granted the plaintiff an injunction restraining Mr. Tilden from selling said stock. A lengthy argument took place to-day in regard to the proposed ‘airendiaent to the bill of complaint, setting forth that neither at the time of execution of the papers or at any other time was there any change of possession of said stock or certificates from their existing possession, except as to 400 shares, and that Tilden did not then or at any time have possession of the stock except 4,000 shares thereof. . The proposed amendment was opposed by Mr. Tilden’s counsel on the ground that it was sworn to by Wm. L. Wetmore, bankrupt. in- stead of his assignee, Wilkinson, the plaintiff. ed The French Delegates Gone to West Point. New York, October 7.—The French delegates tothe Yorktown celebration left the Fifth Avenue Hotel this morning for West Point. They passed through 23d street accompanied by a French military a ere On their arrival at the foot of 23d street the delegates, with members of the reception com- mittee, were transferred to the decks of the Tennessee and Vandalia, lying in the river, and the two ships steamed up the Hudson to West Point. The visitors will be the guests of Gen. Howard and his staff during the day, and in the evening a‘all will be given in their honor. pus pM tea Wall Street To-day. LEADING STOCKS ADVANCED IN PRICE. New York, October 7.—The Post's financial article (1:40 p.m. edition) says: At the Stock Exchange prices are all higher than yesterday, those for the leading stocks having been ad- vanced on the purchases to cover short sales, these inaving in turn been induced by the expec- tation that the Treasury will to-morrow or next week let loose eight to ten millions of dollars in one way or another. In the first hour, when it was found that Mr. Windom was not here, there was a halt in the buying of stocks, but later reports became plentiful that he will “grant relief” soon, and the covering of short sales continue with the result of advancing prices sharply. There has been little buying for “long account,” nor is there likely to be much until it is demonstrated that the can do something more than grant temporary relief or until the railroad war is settled and the bear- ish influences of the large capitalist speculators are withdrawn from the market. United States bonds are % higher for the 4!¢s, which are up to 113%; 3 higher for the “4s, to 115%, and the extended 58 to 10034, and higher for the extended 6s, to 100%. State bonds are dull. Railroad bonds are irrez- ular; the largest decline is 3 per cent in Mil- waukee & St. Paul consols to 120, and the largest advance is 3 per cent in Kansas & Texas general mortgage 65 to83. The advance in stocks has ranged from 3¢ to 5 per cent, the latter San Francisco preferred to 71; the com- mon advanced 3%{ to 44; Metropolitan Elevated, 8 per cent to 88; Manhattan, 244 to 2414; Colo- rado Coal, 244 to 51; Illinois Central, 24 to 13034; Chattanooga, 2 to 81; Rock Island, 134 to 18314; Reading, 64 to 694; C.C.C.&1. 134 to Wig; Milwaukee & St. Paul, 134 to 1103 Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, 114 to 12394: P., 13¢ to 9354; Texas & Pacific, 114 to 4834; Union Pacific, 17 to 119%; N.

As we close the market is quiet and tirm at a fractional decline from the highest prices. The money stringency continues, and the stock brokers are generally paying a commission for money in addition to 6 percent per annum, this commission ranging from 1-64 to 1-16 of one percent per day. No time money is to be had below 6 per cent, and loans for twelve months have to-day been made at that rate. Prime mercantile paper is Ga7 per cent. The sub-treasury was debtor at the clear- ing house this morning in the sum of nearly $294,947.23.

Parker secretary. Col. Amos Web- ster. from the military committee, stated that he had written to P. more, of Gilmore's band, for his terms to come to this city after his Baltimore engazement ended and participate in the festivities here, and give an open air con- cert. Mr. Gilmore wanted 2.500. He had sent word in return that he desired to hire the band for one day. not to buy it outright. Col. Web- ster reported that the cost of furnishing musie and for escorting the French visitors and other dignitaries and military organizations through the city and furnishing refreshments to them would be $1,500. THE MONEY QUESTION. Commissioner Dent thought that if the collee- tors would show more vigilance there would be no difficulty in getting money. Col. Webster said if the executive committee would call on Secretary Blaine they might get some aid. The secretary read a communication from Dr. Duhamel, from Baltimore, stating that he had been collecting money to cover the nse of printing a pamphiet which he had written about the history of the French and German officers and soldiers who had taken part in the York: town surrender. He would, however, make a Teport to the committee. he chairman of the music committee, Dr. Kimball, took exceptions to the plan of per- mitting each military company to engage its own music, as the committee should not be held responsible for bands of music so engaged. A motion that the duty of engaving bands be left with Dr. Kimball was carried. Col. Webster stated that the Secretary of the Navy had prom- ised to order out. the Marine band at the ex- pense of the government, Au appropriation of $500 was made for the use of the military committee. CHAIRMAN CROSS’ STATEMENT. Mr. Cross, chairman of the finance committee, said he had not yet heard from all the collectors, but did not expect any of them had done much. Mr. Ward had been over the whole District, and they did not know who had been called upon and who had not. The very object in districting the city was to avoid doubling on the citizens. The chair suggested t uch more might be col- lected, and if these coliectors do not attend to their work, others should be substituted. Mr. Crossreported that the whole amount of cash, all told, would not exceed $5,100. The chair stated that he would call upon the Secretary of State and see if there can be no funds come from that quarter. Mr. Cross related an incident in his collection experience. He had been to M. Gambetta’s accession to office. seca aE International Cricket Match. | PHILADELPHIA, October 7.—The international | cricket match between Shaw’s team of English | professionals and a picked eighteen from all America, commenced at 12:10 p. m. with the Americans in the fleld and Barlow and Ulyett at | the wickets.

Warden and McMahon, the pyrotech- nics who have the contract for furnishing the fireworks on occasion of the celebration here next week, were in thecity to-day. Visiting the Capitol with Col. Ainger,the chairman of thecom- mittee, they ascertained that a law of Congress stood in the way of giving the exhibition there. Subsequently joined by Mr. L. Gardner, the sec- retary of the committee, the grounds about the Washington monument were looked over, and they came to the conclusion that the best ‘place was between the monument and Babcock lake and that the reflection on the water of the lake would add tothe effect. The exhibition of fire- works will therefore be at this place. —_$<._ District Government Affairs.

STREET GRADES IN GEORGETOWN. Lieut. F, V. Greene, in reply to an inquiry of Mr. J. A. P. Myers as to whether Prospect street, between Frederick and Market streets, George- town, is on grade, says: “From Bridge to Pros- pect street the grades are as follows: On Market street, 7-100; on Frederick street, 10-100; on Fayette street, 16-100; on Lingan street, 23-100. No cutting can ever make Lingan street pass- able. By cutting Prospect six feet at Fayette, running to O at Market, the grade would be as follows: On Market street, 7-100; on | Shines street, 9-100; nay pe peee Leis 14-100. No greater cut wot possible. as | Prospect street is very narrow, (sixty feet from building to building.) The expense would be very great and the advantage very little. I recommend, therefore, that in any future im- provements of these streets the grades be kept | ing could be expected see a bank officer several times for @ contribution and bad got nothing.

No business of public importance was transacted. In the disposal of current business the fact was made known that at no time during the history of that canal has the water in the Potomac river ever been so low as the past season. From the 6th August to 17th September there was no rain at all in the valley of this river and tributaries which empty into it, and from-this place to dam No. 6 navigation fias been seriously impeded, forcing a reduction in the draft of canal boats from 5-4 to 4-4 feet.
