Later in the day the rates for long

very limited throughout the, day and

below the quoted rates. There was
no pressure to sell. and the market was
dull. Gold weaker on decline in ex-

The MayOralty Again
o the Editor Of the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
A writer in the PRESS of yesterday on ..,ho
Mayoralty" over the signature of ",usi-
ness" makes some very just and pertinent
remarks in which I apprehend all citizens
without distinction of party are deeply inter
ssted, and among other suggestions of his,
will be found the following.
First. We need better system of laying
out and taking care of our streets, and bui,d-
ing our ''drains and sewers There can't be
q doubt of this-let us have Commission,
instead of as now Committee of the city
Council. to whom these important interests
shall be intrusted-one.t third of whom shall
be elected for one year, one third for two
wears and one third for three years-and then
sae third of heir numDer each year, thus pre-
venting the electing of an entire rev board at
a,y one time after the first, and always re-
tanning as such Commission men of expert
snce In the business committed to their
charge.

Washington Matters.
THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON AND THE
FISHERIES.


FISHERIES.
The bill for the enforcement of the fishery
and lake commerce provisions of the treaty
ofWashngton, which was assigned for Tues
day, has lost its place on the calendar of he
Hou e, and unless future day can b, secur-
ed for its consideration its passage this SEES,
sion is doubtful. Should the House rush
business, which is certain to grow M re press
ing as the session advances, and give another
opportunity for the bill, it would probably
pass without much opposition, though the
foreign affairs committee is not united in its
support.
PRESIDENT GRANTS SECOND INAUGURA-
TON.
The Inauguration ball, procession and 9TH
er demonstrations here on the fourth OF
March, promise to be quite brilliant. The
| leading citizens here have taken hold of the
matted with great spirit In addition to the
regular troops and marines stationed in the
| vicinity. the West Point Cadet battalion will
| be in tsIe line. So far enough volunteer
| troops to make arespectable brigade have an
nounced thei. .tenlion to be present. There
will probably be from five to six thousand
troops in line. The managers propose to
erect for the bali building capable of accom-
IuoudtiLss SlA tuUuSetIu PERSONS al a COSU OF
| $4,000, which will be reduced to SIS 900 by
sale of the lumber. 1t is 10 be quite a hand

fee, having an arched roof 81 feet high in the
centre. Supper and cloak room will be 800
feet by 20. Tickets admitting gentleman

THE GENEVA AWARD.
General Butler is nearly ready to present
his report accompanying his bills for the dis
| Irritation OF the Geneva award, but feeling
is growing among leading members of both
houses that it may be as well to wait until we
| get the money before we divide it, and to al
low the whole subject to go over until the
next Congress.
| sIRoN-cLAD CONTRACTORS CLAIMS.
The House committee on claims decided
this morning to report bill allowing num-
Der OF contractors for light -draught monitors
and other iron-clads, during the war, to sue
in the court of claims for damages and relief
which they claim from the government.
Among the claims covered by the ill will be
those of Donald Mckay, for 100000;
OF Nathaniel Mckay, and of parties in Bath,

A NEW YORK correspondent in speaking
of New Years calls and their incidents,
says: "If some enterprising youth of
first-class calling ability would take q
pail with him, and where he would 9TH
erwise eat picked oyster or a piece of cake,
drink glass of wine or cup of coffee, dump
the article into his pal, the contemplation of
that pail when he got home at night would
work a radical change in his whole future lifs
and save him much dependency of spirit dur
