NOT UP TO THE SAMPLE. A Report on the Poor Quality of the High School Furniture. W. 8S. Matthews, superintendent of schools, janitors and supplies, has handed a report to the Commissioners in which he says that Messrs. Houghton & Co, have failed in the quality of the new furniture furnished to the Washington bigh school. The furniture con- sists of 125 pupil’s desks and chairs, and as de- livered at che school is pronvunced far inferior to the samples first sent by Messrs, Houghton &Co, Mr. Matthews’ report says: “Thave carefully inspected’ this furniture, which has been in use at the high school about three weeks, and have compared it with the sumple furnished by the contractors, ‘There can be no question that the furniture is markedly inferior to the samples,” WHAT PRINCIPAL LAXE SATB, F. U. Lane, principal of the high school, says in a letter to Mr. Matthews, calling his atten- tion to the inferiority of these desks, that in many ways they fall below the contract both in construction aud workmanshi, He says that the desks which have been in use for three weeks have very generally come apart and that itis more than doubtfnl if such furniture, with the best care, can stand the strain of a well heated room through the winter.

BUR- © ROWS HAS HOPES IF NEW ENGLAND DROPS REED— NO COMBINATION AGAINST M'KINLEY, : There wasa report today of a combination between Burrows, Cannon and Henderson against McKinley, but there appears to be no foundation for it, Each candidate is now dc- cupied in gathering up his personal strength. If they succeed in knocking Mr. Reed out, as they seem so confident of doing, it will lie largely with the east to decide which of the ‘western candidates shall be elected. With the western votes divided among #0 many it will be necessary to get eastern votes to elect any of them. Each of the western men is now play- ing for these votes, For this reason they are not in favor of making a purely sectional con- test of it, and to show that it is not they who are giving the sectional character to the fight they$point out the fact that THE WEST 18 DIVIDED Between several men, while the east is pretty solidly for one candidate, regardless of the per- sonal prejudices and preferences of the met bers from that section. They contend that itis the solidity of the east that is forcing the sec- tional issue. Every New England man, they say, for instance, is for Mr. Reed because he is a New England man, though it is known that some of the members would be led by their personal preferences to vote for some other man. They argue from this that he is supported on the grounds of his opposition to certain western interests, Any one candidate who had the support of the entire west could be elected, but there is no such unity of action in that section, Should the unit rule be adopted there, as Mr. Reed's friends want it to be in New York, any western candidate having the most of the western votes would certainly be elected, aud there would be no chance in the world of an eastern man being elected under any cir- cumstances. Without any such combination the chances of McKinley, Burrows, Cannon or Henderson depends upon his power to draw votes from the east. It is, therefore, this: vote they are all working to get. If Reed is knocked out it is fair to assume that the man who is second choice of most of the members from New England, New York and Pennsylvania will get the speakership. There is probably not a rge enough floating vote in the west to elect either of their candidates with all the rest hold- ing their normal strength. TALK AT THE VARIOUS HEADQUARTERS, Mr. Henderson’s friendsare doing an amount of work that is liable to lead to a surprise for those who have not been counting on his being a dangerous candidate, His canvass is being conducted quietly, but his friends are gather- ing about him and are very hopeful, He has some shrewd workers on his side, Mr. Burrows had things moving quite lively at his heaquarters this morning. A number of members were dropping in from time to time and good reports were received from one quar- ter and another, His friends are expecting him to get a strong contingent from New Eng- land if there is a break from Reed, MR, CANNON SAID TO BE MAKING GAINS. There is as little talk about the headquarters of Mr. Cannon as any place where the speaker- ship is a subject of interest. His friends say, however, that his canvass is guing on steadily and that he is making gains. Their chief point that they want to make plain is that they are not fighting anyStone in par- ticular and are not making enemies. They think that their candidate's long service in the House, especially his service on the appropriations committee, where he bas had to do with the economic questions of re- ceipts and expenditures, has broadened his views, and he is western without being radical. They say, too, that Lllmois is not now a frontier state and that the financial interests there are divided between the two extreme views, and that therefore it will be very easy for the east- ern members to vote for Mr. Cannon. ‘This claim of conservatism is made with as much earnestness in behalf of the other candi- dates from the west. They all think that the eastern interests will not be sacrificed by the election of any of the western candidates, Neither Henderson, Burrows nor McKinley pro- fess radicalism, though being naturally in touch with the west. THE FRIENDS OF MR. M'KINLEY aro very hopeful, and think that he is ina posi- tion to draw votes from both east and west. They point out that to view the situation from an unbiased position there are these things in favor of the Ohioan. ‘It will be observed,” they say, “that he represents a state that is in sympathetic touch with all the great interests concerning which legislation is demanded. Obio is a great agricultural state, a great wool-growing state. She grows large quanti- ties of tobacco, She isa mining state. Her ople are largely interested in manufacturing. hey are greatly concerned to have liberal ap- propriations for the proper improvement of rivers and harbors, ‘er location makes her justly conservative on the tariff, while she is clearly in favor of the protective system,” WHAT MR. REED'S FRIENDS CLAIM, Mr. Reed is not here to speak for himself, but his friends say that the other candidates are greatly deceiving themselves when they count on his losing strength. They say that in- stead of losing he is gaining all the while,and as rapidly as is consistent with the advanced posi- tion his canvass occupies, They will not con- fess that there is very much more gain neces- sary for him. Representative Dalzell said to a Srar re- porter today that he bad no doubt of Mr. Reed's election; that he would have a majority of the Pennsylvania vote and a strong support in other directions, outside of New England. He said he saw no signs of any impression being made on Mr. Reed’s forces by the attacks being made by the western candidates, a BENJAMIN G. LOVEJOY. Bench and Bar Meet to Honor His Memory. The old Circuit Court room at the court house was well filled by members of the bench and bar at 11 o'clock today, assembled to honor the memory of the late Benjamin G, Lovejoy. Seldom before has a similar meeting been so numerously attended, The meeting was called to order by Mr. Reginald Fendall, on whose mo- tion Hon, Arthur MacArthur was called to the chair, Mr, Charles A, Elliott was elected sec- retary, Judge MacArthur, on taking the chair, paid an eloquent tribute to the deceased. The following were appointed a committee on resolutions: Reginald Fendail, Enoch Totten, R. Ross Perry, Calderon Carlisle, George F. Appleby, T.’ Lambert and J. H Gordon. After a short-absence, through Mr. Fendall appropriate resolutions were adopted. Mr. Fendall remarking that the committee had also decided that no remarks be made thereon by the committee. THE RESOLUTIONS after referring to Mr. Lovejoy’s death say: “That in this event we recognize a calamity to the community of which he was a leading and efficient member; a loss to the legal profession which his talents adorned; a misfortune to the republic of letters which he enriched by the charms of a graceful fancy and the stores of an accurate learning, and an affliction personal to his friends whose devotion he attached by un- failing amiability of temper, the patient en- durance of protracted physical sufferings and a heart ever responsive to the promptings of human sympathy.” The resolutions extend tothe family of the deceased heartfelt con- dolence in this hour of their bereavement, and it was also resolved to attend the funeral in a | body. Gen. W. H. Brown, W. Stone Abert (the col- leagues of the deceased on the commission to collate the laws), aud Mr. Charles Abert made ps epg remarks, and the reslutions were lopted and the meeting adjourned. THE FUNERAL will be held at 902 12th street at 4 o’clock this afternoon. The following gentlemen will act as bearers: Reginald Fendall, Seaton ing Francis Riggs, J. Ormond Wilson, Frank A. Richardson und John A. Baker. 23, 1889-TWELVE PAGES, ‘WORKING FOR THESPEAKERSHIP. GERONIMO —_ HIS BAND.
