The hall o( tint Hohxj of Representative k almost deserted, llnslaes in the Senate committee rooN has Vmmh eloeed up IH-eparatocy to reorsaatsattoH. The XemtUteaa ami Democratic canoes commltteee wt yesterday, sad a number of jfroposllKms for a ntorganlaaUon ot the eeetalttees were ad va Heed, but none of thM adopted. Olaer weetlags will be held and reports wade to the full caucus wlthla a fen days. It la bow belle veil that the scheme of reorganization will not be reortd from both parties until uear the close of the special seeeloa of the Senate. A great many Democrat still remain in town, waiting to see just wht oan be gotten In the way of places and positions out of their party's sucoes; butasyot they are la a state of excitement and uncertainty. Most of the State delegations of Congressmen have bad meetings for thepnrpoeeof agreeing upon plans for disposing of the Federal offices within their jarlsdlotlon; but so far have been lnforated by the President that such areaus are not feasible, because they contemplate a disregard of the civil service laws, by taking possession of offices before the expiration of the terms of office, of present incumbents. The office seekers aud their friends wade a rush upon the newly appointed beads of departments yesterday, and soet all the new secretaries were in a state of siege. But little satisfaction was obtained beyond a courteous recognition. Foe to aster-General Vilas said to some of his visitors that no doubt Mr. Cleveland would hold the Cabinet responsible for their every act, but would have nothing to do with the offices. The Postmaster-General was early at the Department, but evea then he found a large M umber of callers awaiting his arrival, iHe was engaged in reeehing. callers until Hate la the afternoon. Among those who ibad paid their respects were Generals Hancock and Sheridan. All the Post-office Department Bureau officers have tendered Ithelr resignations, to take effect upon the (appointment aud qualification of their leucceeeors. The mall a toe I'oet-ornce Department was unusually large yesterday, and It contained more than 1,000 applications for'appolntments for PostMasters. In the Interior Department the rush of visitors was not so great, and the mall was but little larger than usual. The several eemmiesloners and beads of bureaus tendered their resignations, which are all held by Secretary Lamar under adThwmeut, excepting that of Assistant Attorney-General McCammon, who has been Invited by Secretary Lamar to re main. It Is understood . that Mr. Mc Cain moil has accepted the Invitation. The White House was again thronged with callers throughout the day. At half-past one the President expressed this willingness to see the visitors who merely wished to pay respects, and two hours were devoted to handshaking. The greater part of the day was consumed la receiving tne Congressional delegations front Southern and Western States, ac companied by constituents desiring to 2y their respects. The representatives of the Oklahoma boomers in Washington arc pressing the claims of the settlers at the Interior De partment and the White House. The President devoted an hour to-day to the con kle ration of the Oklahoma question, and It Is understood that he will neither withdraw the troops nor issue say orders until be Has considered the subject thor oughly. f ANOTHER "ilG STRIKE Inaugurated Amang the Caal Miner at Western Pennsylvania The Oateome IHMchU to Determine.

PAMRL J. MANMN0V Mr. Manning, the appointee for Secretary of the Treasury, was horn in Albany In lull. His father died a few yenra after his birth, leaving hi widow, son and daughter unprovided for, When nine years ot age Dan began to earn his own living as an errand. boy in the Atftut office, and it was thera that he acquired all his education and experience. Mr. William J. Caseidy, the owner of thelrgut, was not sloa In discovering the peculiar talent of his errand boy, and made him areporter before he was fifteen years old. Manning acquired In this position an extensive acquaintance with public men.Hs the W i-moh1ch was then the headquarters of the Northern Democracy. All through the war he reported the proceedings of the New York Senate, and also all political conventions of Importance held In the State ot New York. At the dentil of CassldylM lt3l, Manning became the manager of the Argun Company, and Improved Its business facilities In a skillful manner, liealso took an activn part In the management of the Commercial National Hank. At pres. ent Manning has withdrawn from the active management of the Ar$u$, and devotes himself to the management or the Commercial National ltank, or which he has been President for several years. Horn a Catholic, he gradually drifted Into the Kplscopal Church, of which his first wife was a member, and both of his sons, who hold Important positions on WwArgut, belong to this denomination. His daughter, however, has remained a Catholic. His Hrst wife died about tour years ago, and about three months ago he ventured axain onto the sea of matrimony, leading to the altar Miss Fryer, the only daughter ot an Albany drygoodsprlnce, and thereby obtained a more prominent position In society. WILLIAM H. WHITXKT. Mr. Whitney is the son of the late General James S. Whitney, formerly a politician of note in Massachusetts. He was born at Conway, Ma., in 1SW, graduated at Yale College In lyW, at the Harvard Law .School In lstil, and then went to New lorg, wnere ne was admitted to the bar. Whitney devoted himself without delay to getting into politics, and thereby became the Corporation Counsel an appointive omen on the down fall oi tne Tweeu ring, in ousiness jib whs successful, and he made a considerable start toward fortune when he gained so much more of It at the altar, by his marriage to a daughter of senator l'ayne, of Ohio, that his own accumulation at the bar was Insignificant by contrast. He was. In a sense, during his early political career a protege of Samuel J, Tllden, for whom h labored hard In W7, and Into whose Cabi;the would unquestionably have gone had the Sage ot Ureystone been elected. His prosperity In a business sense has been ho good from the outset of his career that he has Had no temptation to seek public olllce for tne sake or money, in politics he is wonderfully clever at organizing and promoting measures for definite objects. This quality was shown potently In the Chicago Convention which laboriously nominated Cleveland. Whitney was doubtleas as Influential as Dan Manning In bringing the Cleveland venture to a successful Issue. It was he who nullified the Hendricks boom, and he who beat Vilas with Hendricks for the fcccond place on the ticket. WILLIAM Y. VILAS. Willlnm Freemen Vilas Is descended from an old KtiglMi family.

OLD HICKORY'S PORTRAIT.

Hew lie Leaked While at the Hermitage a MHth Hefttre Hla Death. In tho Corcoran (inllory there Is a collection of tiie portraits ot all the exPresident up to Andrew Johnson' time. It wa matte by Uealy. The nioiit interesting is that of Andrew Jackson, lluttly visited the llurmltagu about a month before Jackson died, and with great dlfllciilty persuaded him to give him a sitting. The old gentleman wuh determined that ho would not. He bud a groat projtidlcu against having bis portrait painted, llealy linally tfiicouoded in getting an interviuw with him. and, of course, after that succeeded, for Healy is a diplomatist who knows how to Hatter anil make his way with noted people, lib picture of Jackson mikcs the old gentleman look li deously ugly and ravage, Tho pallor of death is on bin face, llonly mado no attempt to Hatter hlin. out painted liiiu as be found him. The result is all the moro interesting. Looking at tho picture of Jackson, ono recalls the remark of tho rural Visitor who came into the gallery for the first time and Haw tlio marble statue of Vela's last days of Napoleon. Napoleon, emaciated and worn, is Seated in an invalid chair witii pillows and a thick dressing-gown wrapped about bis wornont frame. The dressinggown Is tpon at tho throat, showing his hollow chest. Upon bis left knee is an open map of Europe Napoleon's look is far away, as if lie were still brooding over his hopeless ambitions. Tho countryman looked long upon this statue, and then he .said, with a sigh: "So tills is old Napoleon, is it? What a pity it is that they could nothavo taken him when bo wan In health!" Wash' ington Vor. Chicago Tribune. DOCTORS FURIOUS. Shall a rhysletan Tell the Truth or Nat? . A Nlee Point Ih Ktfcles. SENSIBLK KKAliTK OFFICIAL. Baltimore, Mn. A decided stir has been caused here over the question as to the right of a phyelclan to certify to the merits of a remedy not ia the modern pharmacopoeia. Dr. Jaraee A. Steuart, one of the most eminent physicians In the South and Health Commissioner of this city, had analysed a newly-discovered article, and certified officially not only to its efllcacy but to the fact that It replaced old-time preparations of a sillar character which, analyses had proved, were adulterated and poisonous. The Medical and Chlrurglcal Faculty, of which ho is a memlier, held that be had violated the code of medical ethics, and much public interest was aroused because of the confidence felt both in his professional standing and official integrity. ft was argued that to thus place a limitation on the acts of a physician, and especially of a health oiilcer, was opjioeed to the spirit of the age; that such reasoning might have been logical enough when It waa to the interest of rulers or societies to invest themselves with a supernatural halo, but now when thought should lie free and untrammeled, audi things savored of barbarism. It was the duty of a physician, especially of a health officer, to condemn publicly any remedy which he knew to be injurious, but it waa not right to say that he should le debarred from testifying, to the merit of anything which he knew to be good. If this were so, the world would not receive the benefit of half the discoveries made in art or science. Thus th people argued, while the faculty threatened expulsion and talked of the timehonored customs, ethics, professional courtesy and traditions. But the matter soon assumed a new and surprising phase. A few days afterwards a certificate appeared in the daily papers bearing the autograph signatures of Governor McLane, Attorney-General ltoberts, Mayor Latrobo, City Postmaster Adreon, Chiefs ot State and Municipal departments, Judges and Clerks of Courts, Federal officials and Congressmen, emphatically endorsing the action of the Health Commissioner, and concurring in his op nion as to the efllcacy of the remedy, asserting that they did so from personal experience with it and practical teste and olwcrvatlons. There could be no gainsaying such evidence as this, but, as if to cap the climax, shortly afterwards there appeared another certificate with autograph signatures of leading practicing physicians from all parte of the State, including the physicians of all the leading hospitals, the physician to the City Fire Department, the Port physician, vaccine physician and resident physicians of infirmaries, all endorsing the discovery and stating that it had been tested by them in hospitals and private practice for weeks with wonderful curative effect, and that analysis had shown no trace of opiates or poisons, prevalent in other cough mixtures. They further stated that they had been induced to take this ntep in view of the many hurtful preparations which contaiued narcotlcs and poisons and of the dangers consequent on their use. The remedy in question Is Red Star Cough Cure. Much a conclusive answer as this to the narrow arguments of the few, arrayed public sentiment on the side of the Health Commissioner, and-it is signlilcant that l)r. Bteuart has since been appointed to olllce by the Mayor for a thlnl,terin, and has had his appointmentunanimouBly confirmed by the City Council. Owing to the high professional reputation of the gentlemen who endorsed his action, as well as to the enviable standing of the owners of the remedy, The Charles A. Vogeler Company, ot tills city, widespread Interest has already been created in the subject, not only here but In Philadelphia, Washington and other neighboring cities. The feeling is generally expressed by professional men that lied Star Cough Cure, on account of Its freedom from narcotics and jwisons, Inaugurates a most desirable new departure in medicine. Tills Is the pronounced opinion of authorities like Dr. Kawcett, who has been for thirty-three years restdent plyslclan of the Union Protestant Infirmary, In this city, and Prof. John J. Caldwell, M. D member of medical societies of Baltimore, New York and Brooklyn, and with a long exjierlonce in civil sud military hospitals. Both ot those conUetnen, together with no lees than fiftyother practicing physicians of Maryland, have pubVcly put themselves on record as to the evil of narcoUo medicines, and the consentient value and Importance of the new discovery referred to. It is conceded that public opinion has completely vindicated Br. Steuart in his action, and that la his whole course he was actuated simply by an earaest detlre te beaelt the eew altv at large.
