' WAsniXGTOy, D. C. Oct 3, 1887. "Perhaps I could . not better begin this letter tlian by giving a brief de scription of the elegantly appointed and equipped train that is bearing the Presidential party on their great West ern and SouUiern tour, about which so much has been said and written. The train consists of throe pullman cars, connected in such a way that one can walk from one end to the other with out opening a door or; being exposed to the weather, or other discomfort," and the coaches are richly and fashion- " ably furnished and upholstered, among the articles being a beautiful bed room, center-table, inlaid writing desk, sofas, . rocking chairs, barber chairs, and several large '..mirrors, itksajr Aothing,-of a bathroom and smoking compartment, and to cap the climax, the cars are heated by steam from the locomotive and furnished with electric lights from the same source. Washington has certainly never before seen such a splendidly outfitted train. Geo. M. Pullman gave his personal attention to the details, and the outlay is said to represent a capital ot 8200,000, and it is further stated that the President will be at an expense of 10,000 for the trip. The party consisted-ot. the President and Mrs. ClevelpJad, Private Secretary Laniont, two or three per sonal friends of Mr. Cleveland, and three representatives of the press. A great crowd assembled at the Balti more and Potomac depot to see the dis tinguished travelers depart, Secretaries Bayard, Endicot and Whitney being of the number. The floral favors to . Mrs. Cleveland were lavish and rarely beautiful. An important act of the President before leaving was the appointment of Secretary Bayard and Messrs. W. L. Putman. of Maine, and Jas. B. Angoll of Michigan, to act as Commission in . ? 1" i - - tne aujustmeni; oi me question oi-uie fisheries troubles with our , northern neighbors. All of these gentlemen have had sufficient diplomatic training in positions of public trust to warrant the belief, that if a satisfactory settle ment of the international controversy is possible, the country may confidently expect such a result at their Lands, a consummation devoutlv to be wished. At the last Cabinet meeting tho . ? financial situation was exhaustively discussed, with the purpose to provide against a possible recurrence of the re cent stringency in the w commercial world, and a decided difference of opin ion was developed regarding the au thority of the Secretary of the Treas ury to purchase bonds not required for the sinking fund the result Ijeing that it was determined to refer the matter to the decision cf he Attorney Gen eral, in case there should apparently arise the nece&sity of such action on the part of the Secretary, to relieve the money market. It appears that the monetary alarm was more a matter oi imagination than reality, generally speaking, for the very simple reason that the volume of cur rency was increased seventy five million dollars last year, M'hich goes to show that the business int3rests of the coun- try are in a ueaitny conaiuon. . - i i . i It is calculated at the Treasury that the Government has saved in interest by the payment of bonds under the circular of last month the handsome sum of S3.200.00Q not to mention the probably immense financial losses it prevented individuals from suffering. The Naval Board has concluded to construct at Norfolk the 0,000 ton bat tleship, authorized by the act of Con gress, at a cost of 2,37C,000, which is 8125,000 less than the appropriation provides. It will take about eighteen months to finish the work on this great monster of the deep. The organization of department clerks into State Associations, of which there are several, has been the occasion of one of the most sensational episode of the present Administration. These organizations partake of a polit ical as well as a social character the real object being to protect the mem bers in their official positions. On be ing invited to address the Illinois Democratic Association, Ciril Service Commissioner Oberly not only declined to accept the compliment, but wrote the "Suckers" a long letter, informing them that the existence of their Associ ation is a violation of the civil service act, and admonishing the members that for such infraction they are liable to the penalti!s of the law. At his death, the late Samuel Ens- worth left an endowment fund of over 1 50,000 to build and maiutain a med ical college and hospital, to bo called I the Eiisworlh Medical college and Hos pital, at St. Joseph, Mo. The grounds Lave already been purc-ha-sod for a hos pital. It will be erected and opened this winter; The hospital will have a capacity for 100 patients, and will b erected at a cost of $60,000.
