Welcome to Logan.

WASHINGTON, November 29.-Sev.
eral hundred residents of Washington,
friends Of General and Mrs. Logan,
called at their residence this evening to
welcome the senator and his wife back
to the capital. The affair, though in,
formal, was under the management Of
a committee Of arrangements. The
marine band was in attendance, andthe
house was decorated from top to bottom,
outside and in. with banners, lanterns
and flowers. There were no speeches.
The parlors and library were crowded
with ladies and gentlemen, while those
finding there was no standing room
filed through in procession, paying their
respects with shaking hands and q
word Of welcome in passing.

Heavy Stakes Won and Lost.

NEW York, November 27.-NoW that
the question of Cleveland's election has
been finally settled, some inside facts of
the campaign-political and betting
are gradually coming to light. While
the winners of heavy stakes are in many
instances too modest to make known
their luck, no one has been found who
is willing to acknowledge hat he has
been a loser. On Saturday last Kelly &
Bliss, proprietors Of the Twenty-eighth
street pool rooms, had paid out up to II
o'clock in the morning $170, 900. Agen-
tIeman who has had dealings with Jay
Gould said that for once Mr.. Gould has
been caught, and had lost a pile.
Among others who benefited by the
m%illionaire's loss are Addison Cammack,
who made S26, 900; e. f. Woerishoffer,
S31, 600; John George, 1924, 900; BILLY"
Alise, of Harper's. $40, 900; r. S. Elliott,
So, 900; NJ. Smith, SIS, 900 on the state,
and G.. I. Hudson, $40, 900. Among the
heaviest losers outside of Gould are
Berry WALL, $4,000, and Jimmy O'Brien
$4,000. The proprietor Of a leading ho-
tel up town, who pretended to be a warm
supporter of Cleveland, has been forced
to face the music to the tune Of about
$25, 900.

The Missionaries IN China.

Hone KONG, November 26.-The
Catholic mission here has received adj
vices that the viceroy of Canton has
closed all the chapels there, and also
aroused the entire Catholic sentiment.
A missionary who arrived at Canton
from the interior states that the Chris
tians in the western provinces are fnggi-
tiyes in the wilds Of Tonquin. He also
states that the Chinese authorities il
the northern provinces have issued Y
decree ordering the expulsion Of all
missionaries. Upon appeal e the high
er authorities ut Pekin. however, the
decree was rescinded and the mission
aries taken under the protection Of the
Chinese general government.

Congressional speculations.

WASHINGTON, November s0.-Tt has
Deen suggested by a number of repre-
sentatives that congress take a recess
about the middle of the month to give
an opportunity to the members to attend
the opening of the New Orleans exposi-
ton, and that during this proposed re-
cess the appropriation committee con
slider the appropriation bills, so as to
have most Of them ready to report to
the house upon the reassembling of con
gress after the holidays. They argue
that the usual amount of work prior to
adjournment for the holidays will have
been accomplished by the 18th inst, be-
cause of the unusually early assemblage
of congress this year.
The Mexican pension bill, which was
debated at length at the last session, ID
the first unfinished business to be con
sidered, and can be reached only by a
motion to discuss measures on the speak
er's table. T~ownshend, who had charge
of that measure, says he will ask its
further consideration at the earliest
practicable moment.
In the senate the bills for the admis-
sion of Dakota and Washington terri
tories will undoubtedly be pressed by
the senators who have them in charge.

rhe Next Governor of New York State.

The election of Governor Cleveland,

fnecessary for him to resign his present
