In the center of the great apartment are two sable caskets that contain all the remains of poor mortal- ity which but a few hours ago made bright one of the happiest homes in this city. ‘MRS. TRACY'S CASKET. To the west side of the room and identified outwardly only by its greater length is the casket in which lies the body of Mrs. Tracy. There is nothing ornate inthe exterior, the simplicity of the black cloth being broken only by the long extension handle-bare, which are of silver. On the lid are four graceful sago palm leaves and around them are camelias and bya- cinths, In the center is a huge cluster of white and blue violets, placed there yesterday even- ing by Mrs. Harrison, and at the head is a bunch of roses—the contribution of Mrs. Mor- ton. Smilax is twisted around the great palm branches on the sides of tne casket, HIDDEN FROM ALL EYES, To the east, and not more than four feet distant, is the casket in which have been fastened the corpse of Miss Mary Tracy, so sadly disfigured by fire. The face of the mother will be seen by those who may desire to look on it once more, but the daughter's bruised and distorted features will never again be beheld by mortal eye. The interior caskets are both of copper and both are hermetically sealed, but the lid has been fastened over the glass in the younger lady’s coffin and it will not be dis- turbed for any one. Attempts to make the features presentable failed com- pletely; the murderous flame destroyed the attractiveness of the body when it released the soul. Above the breathless and discolored lips lie a fragrant bunch of blue violets, the grief offering of Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Mo- Kee, and near the simple flowers are roses, placed there by Mra, Morton. Around and on top of the casket are scattered hyacinths, camelias and lilies of the valley with festoons of intertwining smilax. THE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS. ‘The coffins will not be moved until tomorrow. ‘This afternoon the funeral arrangements were decided upon and it was announced by Private Secretary Halford that religious services will be held in the east room tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock, . The officiating clergyman will be the Rev. George W. Douglass, rector of St. John’s church. The only persons who will be ad- mitted to the executive inansion previous to the funeral will be the relatives of the deceased, members of the cabinet, Senators and Rep- resentatives and such officials as may be invited. The limited space will prevent the funeral being, in @ broad sense, a public one. At the conclusion of the services the remains will be taken to Rock Creek ceme- tery and there placed in the receiving vault until Secretary Tracy shall decide as to their permanent disposition. THE PALL BEARERS, The pall bearers for Mrs. Tracy will be Sec- retaries Windom, Proctor, Noble and Rusk, Attorney General Miller, Postmaster General fs Wanamaker, Admiral Porter and Admiral Rodgers, ss ‘Lhe pall bearers for Miss Tracy, it was an- nounced this afternoon, will be eight naval officers, The Schubert quartet will be present and assist at the services. THE STRICKEN SECRETARY. Very intense is the popular interest in the condition of Secretary Tracy. That gentleman is still the guest of Mr. J. Bancroft Davis, and H street between 1634 and 17th, on both sides of the highway, is pretty thoroughly occupied by # crowd of curious and sympa- thetic people, There is almost invariably a carriage before Mr. Davis’ door, and it is not uncommon to see half a dozen vehicles— from the stylish private brougham down to the loose-jointed cab—strung out along the edge of the northern sidewalk. Two or three marines keep watch and ward at the door and occasionally a policeman moves the multitude a few feet one way or the other; then he relapses into silence and in- activity. A great many of the callers are content with asking the sergeant of marines as to the Secretary's condition, and many of the more jesus hota An Army of Smart Tramps.

He arose this morning at about 11 o'clock. and although there was plenty of proftered assistance he did most of his dressing himself.

The Result of Building Inspector En twistle’s Investigation. As stated in Tae Stan yesterday, the ‘build- ing inspector was called upon by the Commis- sioners for a report as to the origin of the fire. Today he rendered his report, which is as fol- lows: “Complying with your order to makean exam- ination to ascertain 1f possible the origin of the fire in the building 1634 I street northwest, owned and occupied by the Hon. B. F. Tracy, Secretary of the Navy, I have the honor to report that I have made a thorough examination of the building and it is evident from the condition of the house that the fire first started on the west side of the front parlor on the main first floor, and its rapid progress was no doubt caused by the fire getting behind the wall panelling. The room was fined its entire height with panel work on all the wall ving small chambers through which the passed around the en- tire room and through the floor to the second story. It also passed out into the hall and by currents rapidly up the stairway, cutting off all chance of escape from the upper floors, The building was heated by low pressure steam, on the indirect system, and in tracing the supply to the differ- ent localities of coils and coil chambers there is no evidence that the fire originated from the heating apparatus or from any chimney flue, but immediately under the point where the fire started there was situated in the base- ment a pump run by a Bunsen gas burner, and it is possible that this may have been out of order, allowing the gas to escape to the room above and the fire started by an explosion of gas, This building was erected in 1876, and there is evidence that it was carefully and safely constructed, An addition was made during last season on the east side, and the mansard roof removed from the front aud the front all carried up. This last portion is damaged principally by smoke and water, nor was the basement of the old’ portion burded, the fire starting on the floor above, but that was greatly damaged by water. I cannot positively decide the origin of the fire, but the escape of gas and the explosion of gas scom the most probable cause.” EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY. Messages Received at Secretary Tracy’s Office From All Over the World. An enormous number of telegrams of con- dolence and sympathy have been received at Secretary Tracy's office from all over the world, Capt. Schley, commanding the new cruiser Baltimore, says: ‘The officers and crew of the Baltimore are overwhelmed with sorrow at the great calamity which has just befallen you, and tender their sincerest sym- pathy.” Mr. W. W. Goodrich of Brooklyn, who was the leading American delegate to the maritime conference, said: ‘Out of the fullnessof my own sorrow Isend you my hearty sympathy.” (He recently lost a'son.) Charles Philipson, Philadelphia: “May God help and protect you in this great calamity.” Demas Strong, Brooklyn: “We believe that your courage and resolution will bear you through this awful calamity. Is is only when great afilictions come that a man feels the spirit of resignation to circum- stances. Your friends rely upon you.” Seligman Brothers, London: “We beg to ex- press our heartfelt sympathy in the sad be- reavement which has befallen you.” Lieut. Emory, naval attache at London: “Ex- press to the Secretary and Mrs. Wilderding how deeply we feel their terrible bereave- ment.” Frank Woodruff andwife, New York:‘‘We ten- der you our house for any purpose you may want.” Other dispatches were received from the Brooklyn and Long Island reachers’ asso- ciation of the M. E. church; Sylvester Malone, Brooklyn; Lt. Goy. Jones, ;Jno, C. Robin- son, Binghampton, N.Y.; Theo. B. Mills, Brooklyn, and Lt. C. Mck. Winslow, Boston, Albert A. Abbott, New York, sent the follow- ing: “With deepest love and’ sympathy I am your friend for many past and I hope for many future years.” E. C. Van Kirk, Plattsburg, N.Y.: ‘Words are inadequate to express my heart-felt sym- pathy for you in this hour ot trial and suffer- ing.” By order of the board of officers of the Dis- trict commandery of the military order of the Loyal Legion the banquet of the commandery, to have been given on the 5th instant, is, in view of the distressing events of yesterday, post- med until further notice and all invitations ave been recalled. At the regular monthly meeting of the Union Veteran corps, third battalion D.C.N.G., held at the armory last evening, a committee of officers and members of the battalion was ap- ointed to draft suitable resolutions of condo- lence and heartfelt sympathy with Secretaries Blaine and Tracy, ‘The New York legislature yesterday adopted aresolution of condolence with the bereaved families of Secretaries Blaine and Tracy and adjourned as an evidence of their sorrow. Sim- ilar resolutions were adopted by the New ~Jer- sey legislature. AT ANNAPOLIS, The news of the terrible calamity which be- fel the family of Secretary Tracy reach Annap- olis early. The awful affliction was naturally coupled with the recent repeated bercavements of Secretary Blaine, and for both families there were expressions of profoundest sorrow. ‘The venerable Maj. Sprigg Harwood went to the executive mansion to tell Gov. Jackson of the horribly sad affair. Mrs, Jackson and the goy- ernor were much affected by the news, OTHER CONDOLENCES, The Baltimore city council, the Young Men’s republican club, and Wilson post, No. 1, G.A.

The House committee on naval affairs has virtually completed the consideration of Mr. Lodge’s bill for the transfer of the revenue cutter service from the Treasury to the Navy department. Some amendments have been made to the original bill, so that at present it does not forbid the appoint- ment of naval officers to command over the rev- enue marine officers, but provides that no such appointment shall be made until it is approved by the Secretary of the Treasury. Another amendment permits the revenue cadets to elect between joining the first class of naval cadets at Annapolis and bree | naval offi- cers, or passing an examination and joining the service direct with the rank of ensign, but with the stipulation that they shall not be eligible for promotion beyond the grade of lieutenant commander in the navy. The bill will be submitted to the Secretary of the Treas- ury for approval before being reported to the House, Another amendment is necessary to abolish the present revenue marine force at New York.

He States What He Knows of the Ballot Box Forgery. HIS FURTHER TESTIMONY BEFORE THE HOUSE SPECIAL COMMITTEE TODAY—HE ASSERTS THAT WOOD WAS PAID MONEY TO KEEP OUT OF THE WAY TILL AFTER THE ELECTION. The special House committee on the Ohio ballot box forgery resumed its inquiry today. Gov. Campbell took the stand and continued his testimony, begun yesterday, taking up his story at the point of the Germantown speech. He read from the Cincinnati Times-Star a re- port of Gov, Foraker’s Marietta speech in reply, in which the latter says he knows when he has brought down game and that from Mr. Camp- bell’s speech it appeared that the game had been shot through the heart, Mr. Halstead had a dozen times reiterated the statement that he did not intend touse the paper (Exhibit A) until just before election. GOV. FORAKER INTERRUPTED THE WITNESS to say that he had never before seen this partic- ular report and it was somewhere wrong. Continuing, Gov. Campbell said Mr. Halstead had been forced to admit that he did not in- tend to use the paper until just before election to explain why Eo'aia not consult with Sensior Sherman and others. Then, too, he hoped it would be too late for any proof beyond his ‘Girma enna denial to be produced, and thus lefeat his election. If he believed the paper tobe genuine he would have published it at once and ended the campaign. When witness firstsaw the paper he was unable to account for his signature. He knew he had not written it; it was too poor, like the name a boy writes in pokeberry ink with a stick. THE SEARCH FOR WooD. Witness got Mr. McLean's denial and then learned of Wood's candidacy for the position of smoke inspector. He heard that the appoint- ment could not be charged to political grounds; that Wood was an irresponsible man, and he concluded that he was the forger. He sum- moned T. C. Campbell and he sought for Wood, as did the democratic committee and others, but he could not be found until after election, Witness had charged publicly that WOOD HAD BEEN PAID MONEY TO Go AWAY. Witness suspected by whom, but did not say. Subsequently he learned that the charge was correct and that Wood had been paid money. “Do you mean that he was paid to keep away from arrest?” queried Gov. Foraker. The witness replied that Wood had eluded paler and kept out of the way. It was only y alucky accident that the forgery was dis- covered. He had heard that the republican committee at Hamilton had paid money to keep Wood out of the way. Here witness read from the Commercial-Gazette a report of AN INTERVIEW WITH GOV. FORAKER, charging close relationship between witness and Wood, referring to Foraker’s telegrams to Wood and his letter of introduction to Gov. Luce, Witness never saw the telegrams until after the election. Gov. Foraker interrupted to say that he gathered the impression from the stenographic reports of witness’ speech that he had seen the telegrams, The witness read the printed reports of his speech to show that Gov. Foraker was in error in his recollection, Continuing, witness said that L. G. Bernard had brought to his house Frank Mercer,who said he was a friend of Wood’s,and was with him on the night of Gov. Foraker's Music hall speech; that Wood had received many telegrams from Goy, Foraker and had supplied him with the ballot-box. Witness NEVER SAW THE LUCE LETTER and did not have it. He explained these facts to show how far off he was from any communi- cation with Wood. He had said in his speech that there was such a letter, but he had not read it. The reporter said that he got the copy of the letter printed in his report of the speech from the Enguirer office and learned from Bernard that he had furnished it. Gov, Foraker asked if witness had taken steps to correct the mistake and the witness re- pe that he never again referred to the Luce etter. ‘THE GOVERNOR'S INTERVIEW WITH WOOD. After Wood's arrest, the day he got out of jail, he received a telephone message froma Cincinnati drug store that Wood wanted to see him and he told him to come to Hamilton. Witness thought a witness was desirable the interview. as he had been un- lucky in having his denials believed, so he got Col, James E. Neil, and when Wood came witness recognized him as the man who had shown him a ballot box some years be- fore. Witness had no desire to see Wood and never intimated any wish to see him. While Wood was there the telephone rung and in- formation came that Wood's bail had been for- feited, 80 he left hastily for Cincinnati. He supposed Wood held him responsiMlo tor his arrest and came to mollify him. That was the only explanation of the visit he could think of. Wood rambied along for hour and then re- ferred to THE BIG STEEL BILL witness had gotten through Congress with a six million dollar appropriation init, Witness asked what in h—] he meant; he believed the man was crazy. But Wood insisted that wit- ness owned a gun patent,and then witness recollected that he once did own part of asmall gun paten? which he had forgotten all about, He asked Wood what that had to do with a six million bill. Wood replied that that bill was for steel forts = guns, &c, He scattered along, speak- ing o! 2 THE “DEAR COLONEL” LETTER and witness’ letters to T. C. Campbell. Wit- ness had never written a letter to T. C, Camp- bell that he was not willing to have published. It looked as if Wood was trying to make be- lieve that he knew something of witness’ con- nection with a gun contract. Continuing, wit- ness said ithad been repeated nine handred times in the Gazette that there was A MILLION-DOLLAN STEAL in the ballot box bill! It began four days after the retraction, when Mr. Halstead recovered his wind, and had been kept up till last Satur- day. It was nonsense, as any one could see from a reading of the bill, but Mr. Halstead would keep it up for all time, regardiess of testimony or anything else. ‘The witness read some of the Gazette editor- ials, stopping to clear his throat with the re- mark: “It makes my throat very dry to read that kind of stuff.” CLOSING OF THE LID OF THE BOILING Por. Referring to the story that the committee had suddenly adjourned for two weeks because it had discovered something very unpleasant and the lid was hastily closed on the boiling t, and further that Mr. Grosvenor, his coun- sel, had hastily gone to Ohio to consult him, the witness said that he challenged in- quify and denied that Mr. Grosvenor was his counsel, or that he had seen him since last summer until he got here. He served notice now that he was going to have alittle fairer treatment from Mr. Halstead and his paper than he had had before. There was . ALIMIT TO HUMAN ENDURANCE. The chairman exhibited the forged paper and asked if witness knew anything of it that would aid the committee in its inquiry as to ite authorship, He replied that it was evident from inspection that the paper was a forgery, but he knew nothing directly about its origin. Mr, Cogswell said he was under the impres- sion that witness had discovered that Wood wasaman of bad character as soon as he be- lieved him to be the forger. The witness replied that many facts came to his knowledge that Wood was a low fellow; the — a one a Lo rotested to layor Movebey against hi: nt, In —— to Chairman Mason witness 4 WARM PERSONAL FRIEKD who bad ssid he could vindicate him with s document which had been sent for. RULES AND ELECTION CASES. The Delay of the Committee—A Report Expected Soon. ‘The democrats in the House today followed out their plan of demanding roli calls, They demand that rules be reported, and say they will continuo this course until this is done and until Mr. Reed retires from the position taken in his rulings. The committee on rules held a meeting today but did not get their code ready to report. Members have been talking over the question of whether the election cases should be pro- ceeded with or whether the rules should first be reported. It is likely that the latter course will be followed, as some strong members among the majority think it not best to rab it in on the minority too hard. WHY THERE IS DELAY, It 1s evident that the code of rules is not de- layed merely for the purpose of letting the election cases be disposed of. The delay is from the fact that the republicans do not agree as to all the details. In fact there is considerable disagreement within the party, but members who are clamorous and impatient to give expression to their individual opinions are counselled to keep quiet, that they can come to an agreement among themselves without talking too mach and that the rules will soon be reported. It appears probabie that Mr. Reed will settle the differences of opinion in a manner satisfactory to himself and that the rules will be reported before other election cases are taken up, THEY WANT IT DONE BY RULE, Some members among the majority who are in favor of a rule giving the Speaker authority by rules to count a quorum of members “pres- ent and not voting” do not like the iden of his exercising this authority without rules They are in favor of giving him all tho authority necessary, whatever it may be, to put the control of the House entirely in the hands of the majority, but they waut the authority to be given in a formal way by rules, so as to put the matter in a better light before the country and not run the risk of criticism, THE COLORED CONVENTION, The Election of Chairman in Dispute Today. EX-SENATOR PINCHRACK PRESIDES INSTEAD OF BISHOP WAYMAN—THE CONTESTANTS AGREE TO SUBMIT THEIR CASES TO THE WILL OF THE CON- VENTION—COMMITTEES APPOINTED, It was long after the appointed time this morning before the convention of colored men at the Metropolitan A.M.E. church was called toorder, For two hours there were groups of men gathered within and without the church discussing last night's unsatisfactory session. The official count of votes last night gave ex- Senator Pinchback the election as permanent chairman of the convention instead of Bishop Wayman, as at first reported. There were open charges of a mistaken count and gen- eral diseatisfaction was expressed with the termination of the whole matter. This morning a reconsideration was demanded andthe delegates from a large number of states threatened to withdraw from the conven- tion unless it was granted. Before this morn- ing’s meeting, however, Bishop Wayman, Mr. Pinchback and their friends held’a lengthy conference, endeavoring to reach some compro- mise which should be satisfactory to all par- ties, Itwas decided that both men should withdraw if that was satisfactory to the con- vention, MR, PINCHBACK IN THE CHAR. Mr. Pinchback calied the meeting to order at 11:30 o'clock and Rev. Mr. Braxton of Balti- more opened the session with a brief prayer. Bishop Wayman in arising to state his side of the conte: election case began by saying that it had developed into a second Hayes- Tilden case, He said that he and Senator Pinchback had concluded to leave the whole matter to the conyention to decide whether they wished thy two contestants to withdraw. Mr. Pinchback made a brief speech, in which he said that he desired an orderly, peaceable meeting more than the honor of the chairman- ship and was willing to act for the greatest good forall. He mude a graceful talk, which was frequently mterrapted by applause from both factions. He said in conclusion that he would act as presiding officer until the dele- gates had elected a president in the proper manner, COMMITTEES APPOINTED. Mr. John R. Lynch of Mississippi moved that a committee of permanent organization and one of addresses and resolutions should be ap- pointed, with ne member from each of the state delegatious, The motion was adopted and the convention proceeded to the selection of the committees, the chairman of each dele- gation naming the representative from his state, Wm. H. Dupree of Massachusetts offered a memorial to be presented to Congress in sup- port of the Blair educational bill. Arkansas presented a memorial referring tothe race outrages in that state, asking the passage of the Blair bill and the rejection of the Mor- gan deportation bill and thanking Senator In- galls for his speech in the Senate, A large number of other resolutions and me- morials of a similar nature were read and re- ferred to the committee on addresses, THE OFFICERS ELECTED. The committee on permanent organization having completed their duties returned and made & unanimous report recommending Rev. J. C. Price of North Carolina as presi- dent, Wm. H. Dupree of Massachusetts, vice president; R. A. Dawson of New Jersey and W. Calvin Chase of Washington, secretaries; Win. Lively and Miss Mattie Jackson of Ohio, assist- ant secretaries. The report of the committee was adopted unanimously confirming these nominations, Alist of honorary vice presidents, one from each state, was also chosen. THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. Prevention of Cruelty to Children and Animals—New Tax Law, Etc. Mr. Ingalls today introduced in the Senate a bill for the prevention of cruelty to children in the District of Columbia, The bill provides that no child under ten years of age shall be employed in any mechanical, manufacturing or mercantile establishment, and that no chiid under twelve years of age shall be so em- ployed during the hours in which the public schools are in session. The ponalty for em- ployers or parents violating this provision is placed at not less than €20 nor more than $50. It is further provided that any employer of any such establishment who permits a child under fourteen years to be employed who is unable to read and write during the hours of the sessions of the public schools shall be liable to the same fine, Every person having under his control a child between the ages of eight and fourteen years shall send such child to school for at least six months annually under a penalty of $20, but farther provisions are made so that in = the penalty is not required. A of 20 or imprisonment for six months or other animals, is punishable by a of not less then $10 nor more than $250 a Fe HIs Ki SIGNATION ACCEPTED And First Deputy Commissioner of Pen= sions Smith Retires From Office, The official head of another rerated pension office employe fell today. It was that of Hiram Smith, jr., the first deputy commissioner of pensions About noon today he received « letter from Secretary Noble which briefly stated that bis resignation, received on the Sist of January, had by dirco- tion of the President been sccepted to take effect March 5. That was all Mr, Smith did not read the letter. He knew what ~ —— were. etna eg finally ——_ atew vs to resign thea knew on his office was a brisf one. ‘The official c= reer which has thus come to an end began ia June last. When (i ‘Tanner resigned at the pension office Mr, Smith had already enjoyed the benefit of the new administration, for « decision of the former administration im his case has just m reversed, Under that decision his pensiog had been increased from $36 to $72 per month and the amount of the arrearages of n is said to bave been about $6,000 Mr. ith’s case was one of ten affected by a Accision made by Corporal Tan- ner changing the rate of pension to be paid to a soldier who had lost tte limbs.
