Companies of infantry, cavalry and artillery moving into position the picture an ever chang one. Ex-P: nt Cleveland and Chauncey De- pew arrived at the house together about 1:90. Soon after Gov. Pattison of Pennsylvania and Muj. Gen. Snowden arrived with their follow- ing were. Gov. Buckley and staff and Lieut. Gov. Jones. Ex-President Hayes was accom- panied by Jos. H. Choate. ‘The Senate com- Inittee arrived in sbodyand were in mourning, and giter them came the large committee of louse. It was close to 2.0'clock whon President Har- tison with Lieut. Ernest, his aid-de-camp, Teached the house. Following were the re- whaining members of the cabinet. The first move toward the formation of the procession was at 1:58. Gen. Howard came out on. the front steps of the general's residence and ordered the caisson, which had been withdrawn, to come up. At that in- ftant a cavalry squad of the cavalry formed to the left of the house in the middle of the street. ‘The caisson came up in front of house at exactly 2 o'clock. Gens. Howard, Rev. Thos. E. Sherman, the son whose arrival had been so anxiously ed, arrived at the house at 1:30 this morning. He was welcomed home, not by his beloved father, but by his brother, P. ‘f. Sherman, and his sisters, Mrs. ‘Thackara and Yiss Rachel Sherman. not go then to view his father's remaii er a short but sad talk with bis brother and sisters, retired for the night to pass the hours till morning in restless sleep. He said his voyage across the Atlantic had been very uneventful. He did not disclore his iden- tity to any person on board, but kept his sorrow to himself. Those were anxions days for the son and. anxiously he looked for some word. All ships passed without imparting any information. While off Providence a pilot brought him the news of Friday, the day before the general's death. This was almost without hope and prepared the young priest for almost anything. Still he lived on the thread of hope which still existed and did not despair of seeing his father alive once again. At quar- antine the sorrowful news was told to him and he hastened home to meet his bereaved sisters and brother who were watching for him. This morning at 7:30, just before taking an carly breakfast with the family, he entered the room in which lay all that remained of his renowned father. silently he looked at the features once #0 familiar to him, bus now overspread by Slocum, Johnston and other military dignita- res formed twolines on the walk and made a Passage way to the cuisson.

Butter- field was then driven to the door and Gens. Schofield, Howard and Gen. Schofield’s aide entered. The pallbearers were then seated in their re- spective carriages in quick succession. When e coaches containing the pallbearers had driven away from the door Lafayette marched up to the caisson, one-half of the com- mand tal & position one side of the caisson and the balance on the other side. The head of the column was then moved up to makeroom for the — for the family and invited officials and There was delay in coming from the house.

The caeket remained open during the fore- noon for any distinguished visitors that might arrive. At 10:30 none but some intimate friends and old veterans had come in to take a last look at their old commander. 4 SHORT CATHOLIC SERVICE. At 12 o'clock a short Catholic service, consist- of prayers for the dead, was performed about the casket of Gen. Sherman. To this none were admitted but the members of the family and other near relatives. The services were very simple and consisted of prayer and singing. After these services the casket was closed and will not be opened for the Presiden: and_ part; that arrive at the house at 1:30. — Preadent Harrison will not look upon the remains of the general. The family sent an in- vitation to him this morning at the Fifth Ave- nue Hotel, but the President kindly replied that he had preferred to keep with him the re- membrances of the general while alive. A few minutes before 11 o'clock a large floral shield was received at the house from West Point cadets. ‘The shield was six feet in height and four feet broad. It was made of white and blue immortelles and bore the inscription, “William Tecumseh Sherman, 1840. From his | West Point Boys.” At the top of the shield w: the American eagle worked in blue immortelles and at the bottom a sword and scabbard in the same flowers. ‘The base of the shield was made of white calla lillies. Atil o'clock Secretaries Proctor and Busk drove up to the house in a carriage and passed in the front door. At 11 o'clock many other distinguished guests arrived at the house. Among the number were Gen. 0. Beirne and Gen. Romer. Shortly after them Secretary Blaine walked up 7ist street arm in arm with Gen. Thomas Ewing. The two had walked from the residence of the Secretary's daughter, Mrs. Walter Damrosch. This was about 11:15. ‘The first sign of the movement of the militia was seen about 11:30 o'clock, when one or two posts passed down the street. Gen. sa: that Lafayette Post of this city will vend a large floral tribute to the Ransom ‘Post at St. Lot accompanied with therequest that it be placed on the grave of their dead comrade.

HOW FATHER SHERMAN HEARD THE NEWS. Rev. Father Thomas Ewing Sherman was seen by a reporter this morning in his father's office, below the room in which stood the dead general's bier. The priest is a fine-looking oung man, affable and pleasant in manner. in answer to a question as to the circumstances of his receipt of the news of his father's fatal illness, which brought him hurriedly to this country, he said that the intelligence reached him a week ago yesterday. It wax brought to him in the Jesuit college on the Isle of Jersey, where he is completing his studies. The news came to him too late to catch any of Wednes- day's ocean steamers for this city at Li so he made hasty preparations to Majestic. the fastest vessel which left Liv. on Wednesday, and was to stop at Queenstown the following day. hurried first to South- ampton, where he took a special train for Holy- head, and crossing to Ireland reached Queens- town in time to board the Majestic there. The intelligence of his father’s death came to him when the Majestic reached Sandy Hook from the lips of a deck hand ona mail boat that came to one aide of the ocean steamer, while the revenue cutter Chandler came along- side on the othe: His inqui is answered by ‘the deckhand, who sai funeral is to be held tomorrow.” man did not know who his questioner was. Mr. John Byrne and Rev. Father Henry Van Ren: , two friends of Father Sherman's, boarded the Majestic from the revenue cutter and from them he learned the particulars of his father’s last illness and death. ‘HIS FATHER’S RELIGIOUS BELIEFS. Touching the subject of Gen. Sherman's re- ligious belief his son said in a positive way that may well remove all doubt on the matter, “My father was baptized in the Catholic Church, married in the Catholic Church and at- tended the Catholic Church till the outbreak of the civil war. Since that time my father had not been a communicant, but he always said to me, * is any true religion it is the Catholic religion.’ ” Continuing, Father Sherman said: “A woek ago today my father received absolution and extreme unction at the hands of Father Taylor. My father was unconscious at thetime, but this Fev A bearing, for the sacra- mente could be administered ing, to whose mind could be interpreted as desirous of receiving them.

MR. CRAIN'S RESOLUTION. Among the measures that will fail thus is the resolution of which Mr. Crain is the author, which im designed to correct this evil in a measure and to make the length of the sessions more consistent with the amount of work that demande attention. It is the resolution which, proposing nh amend- cut ment to the Constitution, substitutin; the 31st day of December for the 4th day March as the commencement and termination of the official term of members of the House of Representatives and of United States Senators, and providing that Con shall hold its annual meeting on the first Moi day in January and substituting the 30th of Aprilfor the 4th of March as the date for the commencement and limitation of the term of the President and Vice President. It was not expected by Mr. Crain that action would be had on this ‘resolution during this Congress, but was a matter to be considered by the same’ committee which had in charge the force bill, and that measure occupied all their attention. THINKS IT WILL PASS THE XEXT COXORESS. Mr. Crain said toa Stan reporter today that he had no doubt that he could get the resolu- tion through the next Congress.

Why do I propose the extension of the term of the President of the United States until the 80th of Apriland that date at noon as the beginning and as the limi- — of guy term? nonin proj t, first, because, as mown, patticulanly by the physicians of the entire country, the 4th of March is usually a very hareh and inclement day. Many thousands of cases of pneumonia throughout the country had. | their origin on the 4th day of March two years agoand on the 4th day of March four years before in the city of Washington, during the inaugural ceremonies of Mr. Harrison in the one case and of Mr. Cleveland in the other. A SENTIMENTAL REASON. Another reason, rather in the nature of a sentimental one, I confess, but nevertheless worthy of consideration, lies in the fact that George Washington, the first President of the United State, wns inaugurated on the 90th day of April instead the 4th day of March, Vice President having — been inaugurated nine days before. ‘The reasons for this are found in the fact that the first Senate of the United States and the first House of Rep- reventatives found themselves in the condition in which our unfortunate friends on the other side were too often placed in the first session of this Congress, namely, without « quorum. What are the evils of ‘the present system as they affect Representatives? A man elected in November, 189), to the House of Representa- tives docs not’ enter npon the discharge of his duties for thirteen months thereafter. His term of office does not begin until the 4th day of March, although he was clected'in November. Thirteen months after his election he comes to the capital and enters upon the discharge of his duties, although for nine months preceding he has been receiving his salary at the handsof the government. He h: been receiving a salary for doing nothing. He has remained at home attending to his rivate affairs, his own business concerns, but Exe" Government hes peid bim O16 s month from the 4th day of March up to the time when he entered upon the active performance of his duties as a Representative. He has been receiving his salary, I say, for months before the time when he is sworn in as a Representative, that is, provided he lives, be- cause it not infrequently happens, unfortu- nately, that mombers elected in November die between the 4th of the next succeeding March and the first Monday in the following Decem- ber, the day of the commencement of the frst session of the Congress to which they have been elected. DELAY BETWEEN ELECTION AND MEETING OF CON- ones. Again, Representatives are elected in Novem- ber upon. issues which, when they come to the ge Litt if hat i ft I i f A F if shat the neighborhood of 1,800 bills on the calendar ti ported by committees, but which will fail for | f FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

My friend, like the — mate of . doubters, thought it absurb thata man could die of home- fickness. He looked upon this form of malady asa temporary mental affliction of which aman could no more die than he could die of his yearning after a rare book or his aspirations to exalted station. Nevertheless this is a very mistaken Homexickncss is a disease rec- text-books und provided with certain remedies. In scientific diction it is called nostalgia.
