Impressive Scenes atthe White House Today. FUNERAL SERVICES IN THE EAST ROOM A Distinguished Assemblage Gath- ered About the Caskets. The last earthly chapter in the history of Mrs, and Miss Tracy, victims of the fearful fire which destroyed Secretary of the Navy Tracy's home, closed this morning when the bodies were placed in the receiving vault in Rock Creek cemetery. All the ceremonials which ordinarily accompany the interment of the dead were conducted in the east room of the executive mansion, and thither this morning more than 500 people—especially invited—went to pay the last respect living mortality can be- stow on the empty frame work of what was but a short time ago healthy, happy humanity. THE SCENE IN THE EAsT ROOM. The White House was all ina bustle early in the morning with the funeral preparations, In the east room the chairs were arranged in a semicircle facing the west. In the center of the rounding lines of seats were the two cas- kets, almost covered with magnificent floral offerings, At the head of the caskets was a tall, branching sago palm, in a huge pot, that spread its delicate, graceful arms out over the dead asin protection. Mrs. Harrison was busy superintending the arrangement of the flowers, which did not cease coming until after the services had begun. FLOBAL OFFERINGS, Secretary Blaine sent a handsome wreath of violets and lilies of the valley. From the Ger- man minister came s wreath of rare offerings, crossed with sago palms and tied with » bunch of ribbons in the national color of Germany. Senator Hale sent a bunch of magnificent orchids, roses and white violets. Secretary Windom’s offering was a wreath of roses, lillies of the valley and white violets. Mrs, Bancroft Davis, a funeral cluster of lillies of the valley and camelias, mingled with orchids and white violets, Other offerings came from Mrs, A. C. Tyler, Mrs, White, Admiral Porter, Mrs. R. R. Hitt, Hon. Cabot Lodge, the British legation, Mrs. Morton, Mrs, Preston Sands, Miss Helena Porter, THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE ROOM. The remains of Mrs, Tracy lay on the south @ couple of feet distant from those of her daughter, The chairs in the first row of the semi-circle on the south side were reserved for the mourners and those on the north for the President and the ladies of the cabinet; the second row, south side, the pall bearers of Mrs, Tracy; on the north side the bearers of Miss Tracy; ack ot the second row the seats on the south side were reserved for officers of the uavy and army and on the north side for the members of the judiciary, diplomats and Senatorsand Rep- resentatives. There were in all 350 chairs in the room. THE ASSEMBLAGE. There was but few vacant seats in the east room at 10:30, and fifteen minutes later every foot of available space was fully occupied, with the exception of the chairs reserved for the mourning relatives in the south center anda similar row of seats for the presidential ty on the north side of the caskets. hortly before 11 o'clock the Schubert quartet, composed of Alexander Mosher, F. W. Bird, F. G. Moffat and B. F. Keller, entered the room by way of the private corridor and standing just inside the doorway sang very beautifully, “I Cannot Always Trace the Way.” The closmg chord had just died away when Secretary Tracy, hie left arm locked in the right arm of his son Frank entered .Asthey appeared the audience arose en masse. They were followed by Gen. Catlin, Mr, A. P. Catlin, Mr. Robert Graves and his wife and several others, among them a naval cadet—a cousin to the late Mrs. Tracy. Then came the President and Mrs. Harrison, the Vice President and Mrs, Morton, Secretary and Mrs, Blaine and the Misses Blaine. “LEAD, KINDLY LIGHT.” From ont of the corridor, at its further end, came the sound of music. It came nearer and nearer and ina brief space of time the sur- pliced choir of St. Johu’s Episcopal church moved slowly into the room, singing “Lead, Kindly Light.” They ranged them- selves in front of the mourners and the presidential party and continued to sing until the hymn was concluded. The words of that touching composition rang clearly through the flower-pertumed and somewhat heavy atmos- phere, and no sound broke the smooth swell of melody until Secretary Tracy, unable longer to contain himself, gave vent to a sob that started tears to the eyes of every one in his immediate vicinity, and’ as the boyish trebles commenced “So long mn 4 power hath led me, Sure 1t will Still lead me on,” the gray-baired naval chief bowed his head in his hands and with a handkerchief endeavored to still the rebellious evidences of grief that would not be controlled. Affected almost as much as his father was the son. With eyes closed and uplifted face, down which the tears would eam, he seemed unconscious of bis surroundings, THE SCRIPTURES. The close of the hymn was followed bya moment or two of silence and then the Rev. George W. Douglass, rector of St. John’s Epis- copal church, commenced to read, “Lord, so teach me to number my days.” and the choir joined in a responsive reading of that fitting scriptar: lection, “Jesus, Lover of My Soul,” was the next hymn, and its rendition was not left solely to the choir. Agreat proportion of those Saisre: joined softly in the well-known air, and to those who were near the center of the room the voices of Mrs, Harrison and Mrs. Morton were easily distinguished, Secretary Blaine, whose face was full of a most sorrowful sympathy, seemed to be touched by the hymn and his bowed head was lowered as much as possible, “Now is Christ risen from the dead and is become the first fruits of them that slept.” ‘The reader was the Rev. Dr. George Elliott, pastor of the Foundry Methodist apne church, and he leaguers foot of the ~ et containing Mrs. ‘y's remains, Very impressive was the reading and apparently very attentive was the Secretary. His io was far beyond the preacher, though, and his sorrow-benumbed mind was paying no heed to the words of comfort. He was looking into the unknown and endeavoring to pierce the veil which makes the realms of eternity invis- ible to eurthfdwellers, When Dr. Elhott had concluded the choir, Joined once more by many of those present, sang “Kock of Ages.” The opening line proved too much for the bereaved husband and father, and with a semi-subdued groan he sat down in his chair, By this time the atmosphere in the room was Very close and several people had to move as néar as possible to a door or window. A CHOIR Boy Yarns, One of the choir boys, who recognized his premonitory symptoms, moved out of the room, but another one, who was neur the head of Mrs. Tracy’s casket, ous in a faint to the floor. The young naval cadet had him in his arms in an instant and he carried him out as easily aud noisclessly as though he was no weightier than skitten, During the singing of this hymn the Presi- dent appeared to be quite anxious as to Secre- tary Tracy, and he watched the bowed form of his stricken cabinet officer with a good deal of plainly apparent sympathy. CLOSING THE SERVICE, The old and familiar but none the less se- pulchrally-suggestive words, ‘‘Man that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live and is full of misery,” prefaced the conclusion of by.

Campbell at Middletown, calling for. a public denial and ___refer- ring to the personal friend who had said that Gov, Campbell could vindicate himself with a document. Witness said Col. John W. Harper had, in a brief interview, spoken of a letter written by Gov. Forakar which would put a different phase on the mat- ter. Witness jumped at the conclusion that it related to the ballot box matter, but subse- quently found that it was the Luce letter. Mr. Bernard was here recalled to tell the committee what steps he had taken to find Wood after the forgery had been published, Woop's WIFE TESTIFIES. Mrs. Elizabeth Wood, wife of R. G. Wood, was next called. She said her first knowl- edge of her husband's connection with the ballot box matter was when he came home one day and told her that James Foraker and Mr, Hadden wanted him to try for appointment as smoke inspector, and that he could get it if he furnished certain papers to Geo. Foraker, She had advised her usband to have nothing to do with the busi- ness, He had sent and received several tele- ms to and from Gov. Foraker. Du er jusband’s absence Mr. Hadden called. was ou October 81,She had received a letter from her husband telling her to call upon Hadden for money and she did so, He was not athome, 80 she (Mrs, Wood) left word for him to call at her house andhe didso, She presented the letter with an inclosed note to Hadden, who read it and said . IT CALLED FOR FIFTY DOLLARS, which he paid her at once. He then advised her to put all such letters in the fire and burned his note. She had saved the letter from her husband, however, and produced it, Mr. Grosvenor read it as follows: Wasnixatox, D.C,, 10-15. I want you to see Hadden at 8. S. Davis’ office and let me know b: eee Faas if he will do what I wrote him and send by express, I hope you understood my telegram today in an- swer to yours. I don’t want to see Campbell here and don't know that I want to see him atall, He isin with Jim Campbell, I will return to Cincinnati if advised to do so by Hadden after he has seen his royal highness up at Columbus. But if he thinks best to stay here until after election I willdo so. I know that Tom Campbell wants an affidavit that will help Jim Campbell in his fight against For- aker. OTHER PAYMENTS OF MONEY BY HADDEN. Mr. Grosvenor asked for full details about payments of money to her by Hadden. The witness replied that she had about October 16 or 17 received @150 from Hadden at his office, $100 of which was for her busband and 850 for herself. She asked Hadden how to remit Wood’s money to him, but he had told her to use her own judgment. Then there was the of $50 made at her house and again she received $40 from him the night of ‘o0d’s arrest. He had told her then that he would have to take the money out of his own pocket. Hadden told her they would SEE THAT WOOD WAS TAKEN CARE OF; that his arrest was only a political affair and that he would be given permanent employ- ment. He hardly thought he could get the smoke inspectorship, but still he would be taken care of whether Foraker was elected or _ not, Continuing, witness said that upon her husband's arrest she had em- ployed as counsel Mr. Chambers, an old school- and asked him for advice, He told her that ‘she had nothing to worry about; that it was a political affair and would soon blow over, and advised her to writeacard denying that Wood had beaten or ill treated her. Wm. Pickering had furnished bail for her husband. He had written to Gov. Foraker that Wood's letter and telegrams (which she held had been seen by no one and that he coul have them for the asking. Here Gov. Foraker stated that he had never received the letter, and the witness responded that Mr. Hi told her that hed never received it, THE LETTERS AND TELEGRAMS were placed in Mr. Chambers’ hands and he took them to Mr. T. C. Campbell. She went to John Otis’ (6th and Vine) With her ee and wry po send @ message through Otis asking Gov. Campbell if he would see him (Wood), T.°C.

AN INFERNAL MACHINE? A_Tin’ Box Containing Explosives Found in a Spittoon at the Capitol. ‘Lieut, Jones of the Capitol force to- day discovered a tin box hidden in one of the Spittoons in the rotunda of the Capitol contain- ing an explosive substance, the exact character of which is not known. 7 The box was about the size of a silver dollar in circumference and an inch deep, and filled with a powder that looked a little like — Svubetance Inoking Mean ter. In the middle was a peg of wood. The mat- ter was at once ‘dto the captain of the watch, who took charge of the “infernal ma- chine.” Taking a very few grains of the fine Powder the captain tested it and found it to be ive. e box was then taken to the architect of the Capitol, An investigation will be had to determine the true character of the contriv- ance and where it came from, The find caused considerable excitement among the Capitol police. THE NATIONAL GUARDSMEN. “ <yening of the Convention of the Na- tional Association. The annual convention of the National Guard aseociation of the United States opened here at Williard’s hotel at noon today. Gen. G, W. Wingate of New York, the president, called the convention to order and delivered a short address, One hundred delegates, representing twenty-five states, were in attendance. The convention, without I any time, at once began discussing plans for legislation to be urged on Congress to secure government equipment for state militia, eee POSTAL CLERKS CONVENTION. The Delegates Call on the Postmaster General and His First Assistant. A committee from the convention of post Office clerks now in session in this city called today om Postmaster General Wanamaker aud the first avsistant, Mr. Clarkson. They ex- tended invitations to both of these officials to attend the convention. The officials were un- able to accept the invitation for today on ac- count of other engagements, It is not ex- pected that the convention will remain in ses- sion after the meeting this evening. The dele- gates held an informal meeting this morning and then adjourned until this = Soret Itis the intention to pass resolutions in regard to the eight-hour day and the fifteen days annual leave. The clerks are also in favor of a read- justment of the salaries, and Mr. Wanamaker told them that he had the same subject under consideration, He also spoke favorably of the other objects which the convention bad in view, THE COLORED CONGRESS. Like the Other It Is Making Slow Progress. It was nearly 12:30 today when the president, J.C. Price, called the national colored con- vention to order and announced that Rev. J. 8. Coles of Washington would open the exercises with prayer, Following the prayer the chair announced that the time for which the church had been engaged would expire today, and something must be done at once to extend the time unless the work could be rushed through today. Presiding Elder Johnson secured the floor after a little sparring, and said something should be done to preserve the sanctity of the church, as profanity and disorderly conduct had desecrated it, The secretary, Mr. Dawson, urged the neces- sity of an official reporter so that the reports Soe bet over the country should not be gar- bled by the reporters, There was then some sharp target practice over the regular order and the question of securing the church. Broad-ax Smith made the point of order that 8 gentleman from the District of Columbia | “kept his feet” while another was talking. ith a black cap on his head, his specacles shoved up on his forehead, Cushing’s manual in one hand and a white handkerchief in the other. Broad-ax Smith as he rises to speak is one of the most unique figures in the conven- tion, and invariably brings down the house with his drollery, Se eae LESSONS OF THE FIRE. What Officials and Others Say About Monday’s Disaster. “The burning of Secretary Tracy's house was not occasioned by any defect in the building,” said Building Inspector Entwistle to a Sra re- Porter today, ‘“‘and if it had been, it but shows the necessity of more inspectors for this office, For the past six years I have urged in my annual report the necessity of more inspectors of new buildings, but every year they have been cut out. To show you the amount of work done I need only to refer youto my last annual re- port, inwhich I show the necessity of two more inspectors, These were not allowed. As my force now stands it isimpossible for us to inspect every new building. I trust Congress will see the necessity of this and act accord- ingly.” ‘THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE. If the statement made to Building Inspector Entwisle today concerning the condition of the pump in the basement of Secretary Tracy's house is true, it is more than probable the [origin of the fire can be determined. A state- ment was made to Mr. Entwisle to the effect that on the Friday preceding the fireaman was called in to repair the pump which is run by gas to pump the water to the top of the house. It is said that he found the pump in a bad condition and told the butler that the man who attended to it knew nothing about running it. This morning Mr. Entwisie detailed his assistant to hunt up the man who repaired the pump and get a statement from him as to its condition. CHIEF PARRIS’ VIEWS, “I cannot form any opinion as to the origin of the fire,” said Chief Parris to a Stan reporter last evening. ‘There is no doubt in my mind but that it started in the front parlor. I have never seen anything burn like that house in my life, and I have been in the department upward of thirty-five years and have seen wax fires. The fire must have been smouldering for some time, and as soon as the servants — the door a draft was created and it flamed up. “The room where the tire know, o originated, you was paneled in hard wood and this was So you see it only needed a light to set the whole thing off. I think that there should be a clause in the building regulations prohib- iting the paneling of rooms, and it is my inten- tion to make dation to that effect tan early day.” A CoaL OTL LAMP THEORY. Secretary Tracy's son, speaking of the fire spoke of « possibility that the big coal oil lamp which stood in the parlor exploded and caused the fire. Col. Drew, the fire marshal, made a thorongh examination of the house and examined every! body exce; jured. He th it it le it the folks the house neglected fo extinguish the amp and it exploded during the night. 7 ee ee a The Tracy Inquest Postponed. The inquest into the Tracy fire, which was to the third precinct station house, K street between 20th and 2ist_streets, was until 1 0% tomorrow on account of the non- appearance of a juryman.
