In the opening prayer the sudden death of Becretary Windom was thus referred to by the chaplain, Rev. J. G. Butler: “To whom can we come, but to Thee, oh God, under this dark cloud? We rejoice that death does not end all. We pray Thee for the lifemmortal through Jesus Christ, our Lord. my to to live before God obediently, jumbly, prayerfully and .trustingly; so to live before men—charitably, kindly and faithfully, that death may be to us but sleep.

The journal of yesterday was then read, and 8 soon us the reading was ended Mr. Morrill roseand ina voice tremulous with emotion said: In consequence of the recent calamity which has visited us in the sudden decease of 8 former eminent member of this body and a dis- tinguished officer of the government, the Secre- tary of the Treasury, I move that the Senate do now adjourn. ‘The motion was agreed to, and the Senate adjourned till tomorrow at 11 a.m. HOUSE, There was an air of sadness in the House this morning, and unusual attention was paid to the prayer of the chaplain. He prayed as follows: “Oh, God, our father, stricken and over- whelmed with sorrow, we come before Thee with the startling sense of the instant death of a chief executive officer of the nation, whose public service memorable and. beniti- cent, whose devotion to the welfare of the com- monwealth has been conspicuous, whose sweet and beautiful character as husband, father, friend, citizen and gentleman, has been his highest crown. As the sobs of his broken hearted wife and children in their darkened home come to our hearts awakening in us the foundest sympathy, we pray that Thy pity- ing love may descend to console them and Thy providence succor and provide for. them. rant that this startling event may bring home to us the solemn sense that in the midst of life we are in death. So, let ingle the world on us be loosened, and our thoughts be lifted to things that are imperishable and divine, and may we turn our steps to the paths of virtue, piety and godliness, that whenever from right our summors shall come, we shall scenes to our eternal rest at Fy hand through Jesus Christ.

Result of Inspector Robinson's Examination of the White House. The sanitary condition of the White House is defective in many ways. That is what Chief Plumbing Inspector Robinson of the District substantially says in his report on the matter today. For a number of years it has been claimed that the plumbing and general sanitary arrangement of the Executive Mansion was defective. On Wednesday last Col. Ernst, who has charge of public buildings and grounds, in response to a reqnest from the President and Mrs. Harrison, who believed that the recent sickness in the White House was probably be- cause of the defective sanitary arrange- ments, called upon the Commissioners and re- quested that they cause the inspector of plumb- ing to examine jumbing and sanitary con- dition of the White “House and re- thereon. _ According]: port ly an order was issued and yesterday Prof. Robinson paid a visit to the White House and made a careful and extended examination of the premises. Today he made his report to the Commissioners, a copy of which is given below: and plumbing in the Executive Mansion by request of Col. O. H. Ernst, commissioner of ublic buildings and grounds. The position of the soveral plumbing axtures and tie arrange. ment of the lines of soil and waste pipes is exceedingly simple and I make no tion for their altcration.

Each line of waste pi ag it reaches the basement is curried direcly through the outside wall into the main drain and running traps with fresh-air inlets are conveniently locawd. The _fresh- ait pipes, however, of — be- ing four ‘inches are’ only two inches in dinmeter, and I recommend their enlargement to secure more efticient ventilation of the house drains. The test of peppermint indi- cated a leak under the water closet on second floor, directly opposite the elevator, and I rec- ommend that this closet be reset and the joint with the drain be securely made. BALL TRAPS SHOULD BE CLEANED. There are several ball traps used on the smaller waste pipes and these should be opened | carefully and cieaned at regular intervals at least twice a year—they now require attention. ‘The water closet in bath room in southwest cor- ner onsecond floor is imperfect in operation and I think a new closet of same class, but of more modern construction, should be su Al- sh the ball traps under the or fixtures in this bath room cannot easily be unsealed they should be ventilated by means of a two- inch pipe directly to the roof in order to afford a circulation Of air through the lines of lateral waste pipes. ‘I tul throughout the house are of wood with copper lining, and all the surrounding surfaces are of wood.” ‘The basins are sur: with cabinet finished closets, receptacles for dust aud dirt, in the style commonly in use twenty-five ago.

A General Impression That It Will be Maj. McKinley. There ia a very general impression that M McKinley will succeed Mr. Windom as Secre- tary of the Treasury. = E TRIBUTES BY SENATORS. of Admiration of the Political and Personal Worth of the Dead Secretary. After the adjournment most of the Senators about the sad death of Mr. Windom and recail- ing reminiscences of his life and public service. for his character and executive ability, and ex- Pressed personal sorrow for his death. The members of the Senate finance commit- | tee are especially affected by thisevent. The | chairman, Mr. Morrill, showed great emotion while offering the motion to adjourn, and imme- diately afterward retired from the chamber, not wishing to trust himself toconverse upon | the subject. Mr. Sherman, who was one of Mr. Windom’s oldest friends and political associ- ‘ates, was similarly affected and also retired im- mediately aiter the adjournment. SENATOR WISCOCK'S TRIBUTE. Mr. Hiscock in conversation spoke feelingly in regard to the worth of the dead Secretary. He regarded him asa peculiarly able man and financier, and one whose administration of the treasury emid very considerable difficulties bad elicited «dmost universal approval. His course had commended itself to the business community of New York and other great fix cial centers without distinction of party, and it would not be easy to mextion one who in re- cent times had been more thoroughly satisfac~ tory in the discharge of his public duties. ‘MR. ALLISON'S EULOWY. Mr. Allison eulogized Mr. Windom warmly and considered his death a great public loss. His administration of the national finances had been a great success and personall; en- deared fimecit to all Api The democratic members of the finance committee were equally eulogistic in their com- ments. Senator Carlisle termed the event a most melancholy and unfortunate one. It had Temoved from a career of grout msefulness one of the most faithful and efficient of the officers of the government. SENATOR HOAR'S SORROW. Senator Hoar expressed great sorrow, and spoke emphatically in regard to the personal virtues and admirable public services of Mr. Windom. He had evinced a remarkable talent for financial administration, and had deserved the thanks of the community for his efforte and achievements not only in that line but also in many other lines of political activity. Mr. Hoar referred admiringly to Mr. Windom’s former service in the House and Senate, and spoke in praise of his industry and many-sided execu tive ability. MR. PLATT'S APPRECIATION. Senator Platt expressed the highest apprecia- tion of Mr. Windom’s character and achieve- ments, Although the manner of his death necessarily inflicted a painful xhock upon all who were connected or acquainted with him. Mr. Platt questioned whether, after all, that were not the preferable way to die. He con remained on the floor conversing in groups | Every one spoke in the highest terms of praise | | fe A SILVER HEARING. ‘The Director of the Mint and Mr. Edward Atkinson Talk. The silver hearings were continned by the House coinage committer today. Director of the Mint Leach was questioned by members of the committee. He said that the exchange value of silver bad been kept equal to that of gold because the government would exchange silver for gold. A refusal to do this would te jure the credit of the government. He did not believe gold and ailver would ctr- culate together if bi-motallism were establishe here. He did not believe silver could be kept at par with gold until there was an interne- tional agreement. The effect of the pamage af a free coinage bill he thoaght would be that foreign nations having stocks of silver on hand would lap them here. But before these shipments conid arrive the alarni would be so great that cold would be withdrawn from the treasury and hoarded by the banks so thet the government would have no gold with whia® to pay for the silver. the effect of free coinage would be a com traction of currency: but how long this would laxt he could not te Mr. Edward Atkinson was then examined.

Collins. ‘The funeral of the late William R. Colling, which took place thix morning, was largely at tended. Many evidences were given of the lo and respect in which Mr. Collins was held in the community and of the sincere sorrow caused by his death. At 9:30 o clock the remains were taken from the house, 3416 P street, to Holy Trinity Church, where the service was held.

There is, of course, considerable discussion in private among Senators as to the question of the succession, but no one of them is willing to express views on this point publicly today. SECRETARY RUSK'S HIGH OPIXION. “It is not easy for me,” said Secretary Rusk, “to give adequate expression to my apprecia- tion of the profound loss inflicted upon the country as well as the adminis‘ration by Mr. Windom’s untimely death. It is a case where one's sense of personal bereavement for the time being almost overshadows one's apprecia- tion of the public lows. Mr. Windon | rege as havin; mat deliberation and care. Naturally, he was tena- cious of his views when once’ formed: but, aided as he was by this habit of mature reflec” tion and guided by his long experience in pub- lic affairs, especially in that department of pub- lic affairs relating to our fiscal system, I think there were few men whore jnig- ment could be 80 thoroughly depended upon. He has well earned the distinction which should be the highest ambition of us all, namely, that of being regarded as a wise, hon est and capable public servant. In his per- sonal relations with his colleagues Mr. Windom wasever courteous and genial, and our personal relations were of the most friendly character. I feelhis loss deeply. As to his wife and family Icannot speak now. Their affliction is one to whic’ no words can do justice.” > - SILVEK LEGISLATION. The Prospects Growing More Uncertain Each Day. The prospects of silver legislation are getting | more uncertain as each day brings nearer the hour of adjournment.

The silver men are told that there will certainly be report of some sort, but they get no intima- tion as to when it will be made. dent that no silver bill will be passed, and a number of the silver advocates give expression toa feeling of discouragement. The radical silver men, however, say that the question will come before the House for consideration within two weeks or else there will be a row about it. aiiaiioee dia ‘The Will of George Bancroft.
