Stannard, for some years known merely as a messenger ot the House on the “soldiers’ roll,” died this morning after 4 very brief illness, He had been in charge of the door of the executive gallery of the House. ‘Though dropped almost out of memery, and holding a very lowly position, he was at one time @ major general of the Vermont volun- unteers, and is credited with having saved the day at Gettysburg. When Pickett’s division Was buried against Hancock on that last terri- bie day at Gettysburg, Stannard’s men, who were lying behind astone wail, were thrown upon Pickett’s flank, This movement is said to have saved the day. Pickett's men were mowed down by the Vermonters on their flank, while Hancock was repelling the assault in front, A monument now Inarks the place held by Stannard.

Mr. Beck, in introducing a bill in the Senate to-day to prohibit members of Congress from acting as attorneys or employes of railroad companies that held charters or have had grantsfrom the United States, remarked that there had been much crimination and recrim!- nation in both Houses about members of Con- spices being employed by railroad companies. his bill, he said, was intended to see If @ Temedy could not be provided for the trouble. THE EIGHTHOUR LAW FOR LETTER CARRIERS" Mr, Miller called up the bill extending the eight-hour law to letter carriers. He said the Post Office department had ruled that the let- ter carriers were not entitled to come under the provisions of that law, but Mr. Miller saw no reason why those employes of the government should not be put on an equality with other employes. The bill was passed. THE NORTHEEN PACIFIC LAND FORFEITURE BILL, On motion of Mr. Dolph the Senate resumed consideration of the Northern Pacific land for- felture bill, Mr. Dolph, in defending the bill, denied with emphasis tho suggestion made bi ‘Mr. Van Wyck that the history of the bill showed {t to be in the interest of the railroad company. It the Senator trom Nebraska meant to insinuate what Mr. Dolph had seen sub- stantially stated in some newspapers that he (Mr, pols) was in any manner connected with the Northern Pacific Kallroad company, or any other, railroad company "over Incorporated by act of Congress, or to which any grant was ever made, or which had any interest whatever before Congress, the statement of the Senator from Nebraska was wrong. He (Mr. Dolph) never hada dol- lar’s worth of interest in the Northern Pacific railroad company, nor had he ever had any connection with’ that company, nor since he had been a member of the Senate, had he ever been of counsel inany way for any corporation having any Inverest before Congress, ‘ile would consider such thing entirely Improper, and would be ready to rag oat the dill this morn- ing introduced by Mr. Beck. He (Mr. Dolph) did not believe it to be for the interest of the U. 8. government to forfeit the Cascade grant to the Northern Pacific; but such a forfeiture would be for the interest of the Canadian Pacific and the Union Pacific. He affirmed that the amendment of the Senator irom Ne- braska (Mr, Van Wyck) would be directly in the interest of the Union Pacific and other roads, THE BANKRUPTCY BILL. piAt2 P-m. the Senate took up the bankruptey House of Representatives.

WEAVER'S QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, rising to a question of privilege, sent to the clerk's desk and had read an editorial from an Jowa paper declaring that he had betrayed the interestsof his constituents by opposing the oleomargarine bill, intimating that the millions of Armour had had their ine fluence in securing this opposition, and deciar- ing that he had obtained his seat in Congress through fraud. All these charges he denounced as untrue, He had been, and was still, in tavor of the oleomargaring bill; and it was false that he bad been influenced improperly in his commie in regard to that measure. No charge of traud had been fade hiv in the contest for bis seat, which bad been confirmed to him by the House by an almost unanimous vote. He understood that there were not more than six men on the republican side who had voted that he was not entitled to the seat.

THE PROSPECTIVE BRIDEGROOM BUSY WITH HIS OFFICIAL DUTIES—OOL, LAMONT AND THE LADIES ATTENDING TO THE WEDDING PREPARATIONS, The President accompanied by Secretary Lamar returned to Washington this morning. ‘The other cabinet officers who went to New York are expected bapk this afternoon or to- morrow morning. The President's carriage was notat the depot to meet him, but the Secretary of War's carriage was in waiting, and the President entered it and was driven to the ‘White House, where he arrived about twenty minutes after eight o'clock. The President im- mediately refreshed himselt with breakfast, snd then entered upon the discharge of his official duties. One of his frst acts was to approve the bill authorizing the Kansas and Arkansas Valley railway company to construct and operate @ railway through the Indian Territory, He also signed the bills granting pensious vo Mrs. C. A. Bailey and H. R. Duke, the bill reileving E. P. Thompson, and the ‘bill amending section 2552, Revised Statutes. Col. Lamont was in his office but a short time this morning, and was engaged most of the time in the private part of the house making arrangements for the approaching weddii ‘There were but very few cullers to see the Presi- dent this morning, and to them he was excused because he was busily engaged. ‘The White House was not closed to-day, as it was yesterday, and all the callers had free ac- cess to the East room and to the oifices up stairs. The private parlors were closed, not be- cause the Gecorators were at_work, but because Miss Cleveland and Miss Nelson are in the house and these _pafiors were kept exclusively for their use, so that they should not be con- fined to the bed rooms up stairs, THE WORK OF DECORATION will probably commence this afternoon, after the house 1s closed to the puplic. Nothing was done yesterday beyond bringing, as usual in pipenng for social occasions, a number of trop- ical plants to the White House. .These were Placed In the conservatory until ready to be use THE STORY COMES FROM NEW YORK that the President intends taking a wedding trip on the U. 8. 8. Despatch now at New York. Such a thing is not credited cither at the White House or at the Navy department. At the department, it is stated, that no instruc- tions “have been received regarding | the Despatch, and that if such an idea as using her for the President is entertained, the Secretary of the Navy bas given personal directions in New York. It ig not believed, however, that he has done #0. President Cleveland has never made any use whatever of the Despatch, which was at one time regarded as the President's pleasure yacht, and it is not at all likely that he will now break his intention of having nothing to do with her. “It I were the President,” said a naval officer to-day, “I would at once issue an order to sell the Despatch. She is of no use whatever, and has always beep a source of scandal. She only serves to spend money for the navy without any return. NOTHING KNOWN AS TO A WEDDING TRIP. Noone knows as yet whether the President will take a wedding trip at all or not, Col. Lamont, the only one who is kept posted as to the President's intentions, was $0 busy to- day that he denied himself to everybody, and no additional information regarding the wed- ding arrangements could be obtained from him. Col. ont stated yesterday that Miss Folsom would arrive to-morrow morning, and would go direct to the White House. It is not known that the plan has been changed in any way. The ident has recently received a number of congratulatory letters from officials and personal friends, but they have nearly all passed through Col jont’s hand. Mrs. G. P. Rogers’ family, of Seneca Falls, cousins of the bride, were among the relatives invited to attend the wedding, and they are ex- Pected to be present. WEDDING PRESENTS. A good deal of curiosity is manifested as to whether many wedding presents have been or will be received, but such curlosity has not yet boon gratified. ‘It 1s safe to assume, however, that the members of the cabinet and the in- vited guésts Will eaeh send a remembrance. Mrs. Hoyt will arrive this evening, and no other relatives of the President are expected to be present at the wedding. ‘The arrangements for the wedding are being made very quietly under Col. Lamont's per- sonal su) ion.” Every one must have his or her work to perform just so, for no unusual bustle or hurry can be noticed ‘about the White House. If it were not for the announcement of the wedding and Col. Lamont’s seclusion one might doubt it such an important social event would take place in such a short time. MISS FOLSOM’S PREVIOUS VISITS TO THE WHITE HOUSE. Miss Folsom, with her mother, has twice vis- ited Washington since the President's inaugu- ration, first during her Easter vacation in 188 + from Wells college, and again in mid-autumn, Just before sailing for Europe. Miss Cleveland, ‘on both occasions, showed them every atten tion. The President, Mrs. and Miss Folsom and herself drove out together one afternoon durii thelr spring visit, the President and Mrs. Fol- som occupying the back seat of the carriage, while Miss Cleveland and Miss Folsom sat fac: ing them. Mrs, and Miss Fuisom also received with Miss Cleveland on the Saturday included in thelr visit at this time, Mrs. Folsom stand- ing at Miss Cleveland’s right, in a rich velvet robe, with her daughter at her right, wearing a simple dress of white nun’s veiling, trimmed with Valenciennes lace.

Then he went to his parlor, delivered the certificate to the happy couple who were waiting for it, the couple left the house, walked down the steps, got into the carriage ‘that was waiting for them and were driven away.

He laughed at a published statement that the part of the form permiting the minister to give the contracting parties some instruction from the seriptures respecting the duties of the marriage state would be prepared after consul- tion with the bridegroom. Finally he said ‘he situation, so far as I am concerned, is un- changed. I have not yet been near the White House, I expect of course, that there will be some consultation us to the forin of the cere- mony. before the marriage takes place.
