A BELIEF THAT HE 1S GOING INTO THE CABINETS ‘HE DECLINES TO TALK. Senator Lamar returned from Albany about 4 o'clocktyesterday afternoon,and soon afterwards was in hisseatin the Senate. He was at the Senate again to-day, but he declines to say any- thing with regard to his visit to Albany,or what took place between himself and Mr. Cleveland, He has talked with a number of his democratic friends in the Senate, but apparently has made No disclosures of matters confided to him by the Presidentelect. In the Senate it is the prevailing belief that Mr. Lamar is going into the cabinet. Indeed, it amounts toa conviction. Still nothing that he has said so far has let any additional ligt upon the cabinet question. Tl that Mr. Cleve- land has declded to start for Washin; aa earlier than he first Intended is regarded by some as an intimation that he may defer fin: making up the entire cabinet until his arrival here, and until after he can consult some of the rominent democrats in regard to some fea- lures of the subject. A STAR reporter asked Senator Lamar for nd he replied: “There is reaily nothing The Presi lent-elect_ om the Silver Question. HE FEARS A FINANCIAL Cf. COINAGE OF SILVER 1S STOPPED. Representative Warner, of Ohio, received a letter from Mr. Cleveland last evening, in re- ply to the petition sent by the silver men ask- ing that nothing be said upon the silver ques- tion in the inaugural address. Mr. Cleveland suid that the importance of the subject and the Teceipt of the communication from members of the House of Representatives nfake it ne sary to xive attention to the question before Lis views are presented to the public in his inaugu- raladdress. He urges the stoppage of the age of silver, giving his reasons, and exp fears of a finuncial erisis unless legistation to this end is enacted.

It isan hivariable cus- tom for the Senate to be convened in special session upon the incoming of a new administra tion. The proclamation calling the session is issued by the outgoing President. Four years ago President Hayes issued the eal, prociaim- ing that “ovjects of interest to the United States require that the Senate should be con- vened at 12 o'clock on the 4th of March to re- 5 communications as part of the Execu- proclamation was dated and issued on the 28th of Febru: A lew minutes before 12 o'clock, on the 4th of March, the committee appointed to wait on the retiring President reperied that he had no further communications to make.

Immediately Vice President Arthur called the Senate to order, and after the reading of the proclamation calling the session, the Senators whose terms began with that day were sworn, in. Meantime the President, Mr. Hayes, the e: Vice President, the Supreme Court justices, for eign ministers, heads of departments and others entitled by order of the committee of arrange- ments to enter the chamber had appeared, and the Senate in a body accompanied them to the latform at the east middie portico of the Cupi- Jol and witnessed the Inauguration of Presidcot Garfield, This isthe line of procedure which will be follofed next Wednesday. Mr. Hendricks will be sworn in before the hour of noon, and immediately upon the formal declaration of Qnal adjournment he will take the chair, con- vene the Senate and proceed to swear in the Senators whose terms then begin. Then the Senate will accompany various dignitaries, under an order arranged by a special comuitves of three Senators appointed for that purpose, to the platform, where Mr. Cleveland will deliver his inaugural and take the oath of office. Eight years ago the 4th of March came on Sunday, ‘nd the special session of the Senate met ac- cording to proclamation on Monday, the 5th, hen the usual proceedings and the thaugural ceremonies were observed. It was sald at the ‘Ume that to avoid any sort of question or com- plication Mr. Hayes quietly took the oath of office at noon on Sunday, the 4th, but no public record of such an act was made, ident Ar thur will no doubt issue his tion for a special session of the Senate within a few days. ee Maryland Farmers’ Convention.
