Th? wthorities are investigating the circumstancet attending the death of George Pratt, an old nsioner, who died at the boarding housa of jgnatius Naw on the 7th street road morning. 8ergeant 81atter'y, of the eighth precinct first learned of his death this morning from an old soldier a the Soldier's Home.

A POOH PROSPKCT FOR LEGISLATION. The members of the House got together today, looking well and cheerful after their holiday.

Nearly a qnornm were in attendance when the House wm called to order. Everjr one appeared to be in an amiable mood and ready for the work of the session before them, but with very little idea what that work would be. The speakership candidates look aj if they had not permitted their holiday work or anxiety to wear upon them, and they were early on the scene, turning here and there with winning suavity. They were on hand for prayers, except McKinley, each in his seat sedately devout. Immediately after prayer they began that uneasy shifting about and changing seats, WHICH MARKS FROM THE BEST of their associates.

During the course of a day a candidate manages to occupy nearly every vace.nt chair on his side of the House, provided the chair next is occupied bv a man with a vote in the republican caucus, Mr. Reed appeared particularly happy this morning as his friends fnthered about him to wish a prosperous New ear. Mr. Cannon was joking and original as usual, taking a seat by the side of Mr. Burrows to discuss the situation in a bantering way.

Mr. Burrows in his dignified way warmed and nursed the good will so many of his colleagues bear him. Mr. McKinley alone of the candidates sat at his desk, busy with papers and correspondence. THBEE CANDIDATES IX A LINK.

During the morning hour, some pension measure coming up, Mr. Reed calmly walked over to the democratic side to look out for the interest of his party. Mr. Burrows at once followed down the aisle behind him, inspired by the same eager desire to look out for his party. Mr.

Cannon, under the same impulse, was on his feet also, and the three found themselves, elbow to elbow, in front of the whole democratic party. For a moment they stood so, and as the occasion was not great Reed strolled off; Mr. Burrows took a seat on the democratic side, where he could watch, and Cannon, with the bill in his hand, took a stand in the midst of his own party. It is pretty clear that neither intends that the others shall take the lead in affairs this session. Mr.

Cannon, on this occasion. was the first to get a chance to say something. NO ONE HAS MrCH ADVANTAGE. The vacation work does not appear to have given any one candidate advantage over his rivals. Whatever efforts have been made to secure the pledges of members to vote for this man or that have not met with any great success.

The great body of the members still hold their freedom to vote as thev think best when the time comes. The candidates find it impossible to make a canvass that will in any way assist them to a conclusion as to their individual chances. THE HOCSE AT SEA. The House comes together without order or system as to business, and they are all at sea. Much business demands attention, but no one is clear as to how it is to be disposed of.

Nearly every man has some particular measure he thinks should be disposed of before the Fif- tietli Congress expires. Many of these measures have a good majority for them, and the friends of each expect to do what they can, but the wisest judgment appears to be that, in view of the present tie-up of the rules committee, practically nothing will be done. The copyright folks, and those who want to pass the Pacific railroad funding bill have given up all hope of success, and much doubt is expressed as to the prospect of any agreement on the admission of new states, or the creation of the Oklahoma territory. It is expected that THE SESSION WILL DBIFT on without any attempt to guide its course, and that there will be a constant struggle each day for precedence, in which much time will be consumed. The appropriation bills will soon be disposed of.

it is thought, and but little else will be done. The tariff bill will probably bo in conference when this Congress expires. THE FORTIFICATIONS BILL. The Appropriations Foot Up Less than a -Million -Some of the Principal Items. The consideration of the fortification appropriation bill was concluded by the House committee on appropriations to-day, and Representative Savers, of Texas, was instructed to report it to the House.

The bill contains no new provisions and simply has in view the continuance of work already begun. The amount carried by the bill is very small, being only The amount appropriated for the current fiscal year is and the estimates for the next fiscal year were SEACOAST DEFENSES.

The inauguration headquarters' mail bag was very light to-day. For a time there is a let-up in the flood of letters of all kinds that come pouring in on the committee. It is only temporary, however, and before many days it is thought that everybody at headquarters will be uard at work again. INAUGURATION SOUVENIRS.

Official Report of the Recovery of the Vessel.

The following correspondence in relation to the state of affairs in Hayti was made public by the Secretary of State to-day: U. 8. S. Galena, POBT AC PBIJfCE, HaTTT. December 31.

1888. To th, Honorable, the Secretary of the Xavy: hare the honor to inform the department that the Galena and Tantic arrived at this port at 9:45 o'clock yesterday morning. Immediately on anchoring, and officer was sent on shore to deliver the dispatches sent by the Department of State to our minister, Mr. J.K. Thompson, and to offer him a passage off to the ship.

At the same time dispatches, entrusted br the Havtian minister. Mr. Stephen Preston, at to Capt. Suiuner were sent to Gen. legitime, to whom they were addressed.

On tho arrival of Mr. Thompson I presented a letter stating the object of my visit. A copy of this letter is herewith enclosed. marked It was then 10:30 a. and the time set for the delivery of the Havtian Republic was 3 p.

The Yantic lay close along the Haytian ReSublic ready to tow her out at the time specied; but at about 2:30 the Haytian gunboat Grand Riviere appeared and gave the steamer a line for the purpose of towing ner to the outer harbor, where she wae to formally delivered up. Owing to the unlooked-for difficulty or getting tne steamer's anchor, and being obliged to cut her chain sue could not be towed to the outer harbor till some time after sunset, but for the prompt appearance of the Grand Riviere, and 1 the evident disposition evinced by the Haytian officials to get the ship out, I considered that the terms contained in my letter had been complied with as far as practicable. Ihe action taken by the Haytian government in the premises is set forth in the letter addressed to our minister, Mr. Thompson, a wbich herewith enclosed marked After the mooring of the Haytien Republic harbor, Vice Aamiral Uaillaru. senior officer of the Haytien nayv, his nag (lying from the Dessalines.

addressed me a note formally delivering up the Havtien Public. A copy of this letter is herewith enclosed, marked I have not. up to the present writing formally accepted the vessel and will not until certain of her belongings, taken on shore by the Havtians. have been restored. I have the assurance that this will be done soon.

Meanwhile we have an officer and party of seamen on board to take care of her till the arrival of TT exPected by the Atlas line to-day. 8'J8bt misunderstanding in regard to the interchange of the courtesies common to all navies, will be adjusted to-day without doubt, when I shall call upon General Legitime who was inaugurated as president of the republic of Hayti on Sunday last, the lGth. I trust the entente cordiale maybe happily restored. A somewhat singular chapter has just been added to the history of the Haytian Republic case. It seems from what I cannot but consider as good authority that only the day before our arrival the Haytian government was about to deliver up to an English crew and send her to New York.

The object of sending the vessel to New York to be delivered np to our yet been made quite clear The ships will coal at Santiago de Cuba, one at a time, keeping one ship here for the present as a matter ot precaution. As soon as possible one ship will be dispatched to the northern const to visit Cape Haytien and other ports in the hands of the exposition. I write this somewhat hurriedly in order to take advantage of the mail about to leave for New York by a Dutch steamer. With great respect, S. R.

1888. Mr. John E. W. Thompson, U.

S. Minister to Ilciyti: Sib: The President of the United States having decided that the seizuro and detention of the American steamer Havtien Republic by the Haytian authorities "have, from the beginning, been irregular and I am here to co-operate with you in obtaining prompt restoration. As my stay at Port-au-Prince is verv limited, I must ask that you will, at the earliest practicable moment, represent to the Havtian authorities the necessity of the immediate withdrawal of the guard from the steamer Haytien Republic, in order to avoid the possibility of a collision between it and the officer I shall shortly send to her. The guard having been withdrawn, the formalities attending the transfor of tho vessel to her owners, or their agents, can readily be arranged. To prevent misunderstanding and the uutoward results that might follow, I beg you will inform the authorities that an officer of this command will be ready to receive the Haytien Republic at 3 clock this p.

by which time, it is hoped, the guard will have been withdrawn. As it is my intention to take the steamer to the anchorage in the outer harbor this afternoon before sunset I doubt not that tho feeling of friendship which has always so happily existed between the two countries will prompt the authorities to render every facility for carrying that intention into execution. Very respectfully, your obedient servant. 8. B.

He complimented the delegates upon the orderly progress made thus far. and hoped that the" future would be characterized by the same spirit. He expressed the hope that the labors of the convention would result in advantage to the colored race and the advancement of the interests of the church. PRESIDENT RfLiD's REMARKS. Tlie new president.

Sir. Rudd. who is a voting man of pleasing address, then expressed to the convention his appreciation of the honor which hud been conferred upon liim. They had the power to do much toward the the advancement of the race, and he hoped that results of the convention wonld justify their meeting together. He spoke of what the Catholic church had done, and said the war against slaverv had begun with the birth of the Catholic church.

By cultivating a moral sentiment among all civilized nations the church had witnessed the abolition of slavery in all such countries, and the good work of the church was being continued in assisting in the mental and moral development of the colored race. He spoke of the learning of the clergy, who. he said, stood at the heud of the educated classes of the world, and all this ability was devoted to the interests of the colored people. The principle of THE FATHERHOOD OF OOD AND THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN waR enunciated by the church in no doubtful terms. He referred to the presence of the cardinal at the church service yesterday as the father at a united, happy family gathering.

The object of the convention was not to discuss doctrine. The teachings of the church were accepted as axioms, and so the onlv work of the convention was to look out for the material interests of the race and consult together as to the best means to be adopted to advance the colored people in the acalc of civilization. He said that an educated colored man occupied a more conspicuous place because such advantages were not common. He advocated THE 8TART1NO OF SCHOOLS and helping those already started. He advised that in such schools, while they educate the head and the arm, that the teaching of a sound morality is not neglected.

The Catholic church was friendly to the colored people at all times, and with the help of the church the progress of the race could not be uncertain. THE APPRENTICESHIP QCESTIOX. He thought that attention should be paid to the problem of why the colored boys did not learn trades. He spoke of the opposition of trades union to boys learning trades, not because they were colored boys, but the members of the unions felt that they must look out for themselves. Working in these lines he thought it would not be long before the colored man was recognized as an important factor in civilization.

lYogress must begin at the home with the education of the children. The colored people themselves must solve the race problem about which so much has been said. He hoped that the delegates in the spirit of aiding the progress of their race would engage in the business that may come before them. The delegates frequently interrupted the with applause, and his closing words received the same hearty indorsement. Rudd first suggested the holding of the convention and it was largely due to his efforts that it became an accomplished fact.

His election president was a recognition by the delegates of services. COMMITTEES APPOINTED. A committee on rules was appointed, consisting of Messrs Wood, New York; W. H. Smith, District of Columbia, and Guenveur, of South Carolina.

Objection was raised to the adoption of these rales, as all resolutions offered were required to be in writing, and many ft was stated, conld not write. This objection was met by the suggestion that the secretary of the convention or others could take down such resolutions as were not written. A resolution of greeting and asking the Holv Father's blessing was ordered to be sent to the pope. A member of the finance committee wanted to know where thev could get the money to carry out this resolution and send the cablegram to the pope.
