An Associated Press dispatch trom Philadelphia says: Gen. Wm. T. Sherman, George W. Childs and A. J. Drexel held a conference this afternoon at the residence of Gen. Sherman’s son-in-law, Lieut.

The result of the conference was an engagement for the three gentlemen to lunch to- gether to-day at Drexel’s banking house for the Bae. oe diseney, Ways and means to assist rant What is Said in Washington. GEN. BRALE THINKS IT BEST TO WAIT FOR FURTM INFORMATION BEFORE TAKING ACTION. Gen. Beale stated to a Stas reporter to-day that ‘he received a letter from Gen. Grant about ten days ago, and one from one of his sons only four days ago, but in neither was there any mention of the impending troubles.. “I understand,” he con- tinued, that “Gen. Sherman will be hereto-nizht or to-morrow, and from him can be jearned what has een dene and what will be done. I am of the opin- fon that Mr. Vanderbilt will not care to take ad- vantage of the law to such an extent as to enforce @ sale of Gen. Grant's personal effects. Aside from that, however, it has occurred to me that Mr, Vanderbilt may be acting for Gen. Grant’s benefit. Having a preferred claim to Gen. Grant's property he may execute the law and obtain pos- Session and return it subsequently, simply to pre- ‘vent some of the claimants who come after from securing Gen. Grant’s effects. So you see we had better Walt and see. If things are in as bad shape as reported, no doubt an effort for relief will prove successful, Grant is national property, and the nation takes a pride in the honors he has re- ceived. If Congress is unwilling to place bin on the retired list of the army let them make an ap- propriation to purchase the;mementoes he has and place them on exhibition at the Smithsonian Instt- ‘Cution.” GENERAL SHERIDAN SAID that\he knew hothing of the matter, except through. the neNspapers.

BURIED OW THE S\CAKER’S TABLE WITHOUT HOPE OF RESURRECTION—WHAT MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE BAY ABOUT fr. ‘The prospects of the Dill for the retirement of Gen. U.S Grant are not good. The bill passed the Senate on the 18th of May last and was placed on the Speaker's tale in the House, where it now re- mains buried under a hundred and twenty-seven other bills without a posstble chance of resurrection. It has not even been referred to the House military committee, the chairman of which, Gen. Rose- crang,1s supposed to favor it. The’ only way it could'be reached wound be by taking it up by unani- mous consent, and this 18 rendered out of the question from the fact that there is a very decided epposition to Jt. ‘The members generally preter nol to discuss the merits of the bill, saying simply that it can’t be reached, but others are more out- spoken and denounce it “on % Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, says that to reap- point Gen. Grant for the purpose of retiring him ‘Would establish a dangerous precedent. “Gen, Grant,” he says, “ Was a brave soldier, but has received ainple reward, bis imperfections have been covered up and his many shortcomings over- looked; he has had honors and wealth bestowed upon bim. He left the army to accept these; if {hey have proven unsatisfactory to him, it 1s not the duty of Cot ‘to restore him to the post he left. Besides, Grant has been prectuded trom the benefit of retirement by Arthur's veto of the Fitz John Porter bill, upon the grounds that the legis- lative was thus endeavoring to usurp the appolnt- Ang powers of the executive.” Sit, Geddes, of Obio, said he dl not know how the ‘House felt about the matter, but he personally was ‘opposed to the Dill; that if Gen.

Mr. Miller, of Pa.; said he had been informed that the veto of the Fitz John Porter bill involved the question of Grant’s retirement. Representative Williams, of Alabama. looks upon ‘the newspaper talk of Grant’s needs as simply pre- ceding a move to pass the retirement bill. “But,” he sat the bill comes up: tn the House 1 be. Ueve it will pass.” Representative Thompson, of Kentucky, sald to a Stan reporter: “don't tniok the House will pass that or any other bill for Grant at this not that the democrats are opposed to 1t, but they’ will hold it back and pass {t under a democratic admin- istration, 80 that we may show the ‘boys in blue? that we ‘will take as good care of thelr old com- mander as the republicans would.” A democratic memberof the {ouse sxld toa Sram Teporter to-day: “Grant’s retusal to take a pension ‘was not delicacy, but diplomacy. . ‘The Was, for $5,000, while the bill to retire him with the rank and pay of general would give him upwards of $20,000.

A sub-committee was appointed, with F. B. McGuire as chairman, to pro- Vide for their distribution and sale. The committee Was Instructed to have them ready by the 6th of February. It was stated by members of tho com- mittee that the Secretary of the Navy had offered ail the canvas necessary to roof over the Pension Dullding. Gen. Meizs assured the committer that he would turn over the Dutlding on the 15th of Jan- Uary, so hat the Dooring, decorating, €c., could be Deguh without delay.

THEY FIND HIM DUMB, BUT NOT DEAF—WHO ARE PRETTY SURE TO GO INTO HIS CABINET. During the preseut holiday recess not a few dem- cratic Congressmen have visited Gov. Cleveland, anda good many more of them contemplate doing 80 before the recess terminates. None of them have sought publicity in visiting the Prestdent- elect, and those who are yet to go will, asa rule, probably goand come as quietly as possible. Numer- ousappointments between membersof Congr’sshave been made for meetings in New York city this week, with the intention of proceeding further on to Al- Dany. Many visit the President-elect to merely make his acquaintance, while some think ft 1s hi ume that they had some understanding with 1 incoming President in regard to patronage. Those who have attempted to talk “business” with Mr. Cleveland confess their entire Inability to extract any information from him as to his intentions in relation to the distribution of offices. ‘They are as much in the dark as their colleagues who have not yet seen the next President. One prominent demo- erat who has enjoyed the privilege of a tong tall with Gov, Cleveland sald to a Stax reporter: “ite has made no promises, either direct.or implied, He ‘tas ‘istened: bo. all requests and sues ‘ons, but has not committed himself.” ‘This cen Ueman said the President-elect does not indicate Indifference upon the subject of the wishes + and advice, even with regard to the ai of offices. On the — contrary. he listens attentively and has the written details of the cases preserved for future reference and ; Dut he makes no promises, Tne Srax's formant added positively that Gov, Cleveland had not yet made an offer of a cabinet position to anybody. He says. Mr. Cleveland is proceeding very deliberately and cautiously, even in the m tal process of prellminary caine! building; th: regards a cabinet asa plece of Mosaic work which mist be constructed with a careful regard to the Atneas of each separate part to make a perfect whole; that he realizes that his entire cabinet mighUhave tobe recast and rearranged several mes, perhaps, before belng Mnaily determined pon, and therefore heis slow to make promises until'upon sure ground. Besides, Gov. Cleveland feels that there will be ample tme for positive ac- Uon after he shall have retired from the cuberna- torial office.

He dors not believe that any changes which may possioly occur in Cleveland's plans after he actively takes up the work of cabines making will omlt these (vo gentle men from the list of the President's advise: Some of the leading democrats now in Washing- ton are rather severe In their criticisms of Mr. A. K. McClure, of the Philadelphia Times, for so post- ‘uvely urging Gov. Cleveland not to appoint Sen: tor Garland or “any southern man” to the Attorne: Generalship. One democrat sald: “McClure sets bis Judgment up against that of almost the entire democratic party, north and south. T never saw such unanitaity of party sentiment n my itfe upon ‘the eminent fitness of a man for a high position as has been manifested in favor of Garland for Attor- ney General. ‘Those who know him best are the ones Who bear the strongest testimony to his emil- nent qualifications.
