Canvasback and rerrapin.

Within the past 10 days a couple of alleged
New York brokers have opened large house
nearly opposite John Chamberlin's club house
on Fifteenth street, says a Washington cor
respondent OF the Philadelphia Times OF Dec.
"a. Several loads of very fine furniture were
carted in at first, and those who saw the stuff
began to inquire the character of the new
establishment. There was no sign up. and
nothing but ticker and private wire to in
dicate that any business was to be transacted.
In q few days several swells about town re-
ceived invitations TO partake of a game
supper. In connection with these same in
Vltations each gentleman was requested to
bring Senator So-and-sO or Judge So and-sO.
The latter gentlemen were not acquainted with
their hosts, and naturally thought the proceed
ing little queer. Canvasback duck, terrapin
and champagne are temptations difficult to
resist, however, and they went. 1t was ascer-
process was repeated nearly every day. The
number of distinguished guests passing in
and out excited the curiosity of many people
in the neighbOrho0d, and Senator who had
been invited prosecuted the inquiry further.
He was anxious to know the exact status of
the concern. Not being wholly satisfied with
the peculiar system of brokerage, he declined
the invitation. 1t has since been whispered
about the clubs that this is an interesting
notion of certain railroad magnateB and the
introduction of the Sam Ward system of
brokerage, the particular stocks being Con-
gressional votes. just what is in the wind is
pin and champagne are not usually given in
Washington to Senators and Representatives

Mr. Tilden Going to- WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Samuel j. Tilden is
coming to Washington to be present at the
Inauguration of Cleveland and Hendricks. A
letter asking for rooms came yesterday to
Willard's from GreystOne, and the proprietor
has set apart for the old gentleman parfor and
bed room No. Is on the first floor and adjacent
to the rooms which, it is hoped, Mr.. Cleve-
land will occupy. The latter has not vet
engaged quarters anywhere. and will leave
the selection of them to Mr.. Lamont, who
IS to be here on Jan. s. Tilden's
desire to show himself at Cleveland's
Inauguration excites remark, because it
Is known that the old man did not really
desire to see Cleveland elected, and rather
begrudges him his great political success. Mr..
Hendricks will be close to Mr.. Tilden at Will
lard's, and it is very likely that Mr.. Cleveland
VIII not choose to go to that hotel, as he Is not
believed to cherish very warm desire to let
either of these gentlemen run his administra-
ton. Mr.. John McLean's rebuff at Albany also
eXcItes remark here. He went up there to ad-
wise Cleveland not to put Bayard or Thurman
in his Cabinet. Cleveland knows that Mclean
did what he could In behalf of Mr.. Blaine, both
through the columns of the Cincinnati En-
quirer and privately. Cleveland does not in
tend to allow Mclean to dictate his Ohio ap-
polntments, and has pretty poor opinion of
the fellow CenerallS.

has arrived at the White House. She will as

New Years day, and Will probably remain a
guest at the Executive Mansion until the
social requirements of the present admins
tratiOn are fulfilled. Upon Mrs. McElroy
will devolve the task Of selecting the ladies
who are to assist at the President's New Years
reception. At the White House it is not vet
positively known whether Mrs. Senator Ed
munds, wife Of the presiding officer Of the
Senate, or Mrs. Speaker Carlisle will occupy
the post of honor at the right
of the President on that occa-
sion. Last New Years day Mrs. Ed
munds was absent from Washington, and
there was a question among society people
whether the Speakers wife or the wife of the
Secretary Of State was the next lady in rank
in the absence OF both the President and Vice
Presidents wives. 1t was finally determined
that the Speakers wife should take prece-
dence, and Mrs. Carlisle stood at the Presi-
dents right hand that day. Now Mrs Ed
munds is simply the wife of United States
Senator, who happens, through force of
circumstances, to be acting President of the
Senate. There are some persons, who profess
to be well versed In social and official eti-
quette, who claim that Mrs. Carlisle is still
the "frst lady in the land,' and entitled to
the first place on the Presidents right New

Possible Withdrawal of the Spanish
Treaty-The Nicaraguan Treaty.

A prominent Republican senator, says a
Washington special, a member of the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations. says it is
possible that the Spanish treaty Will be With
drawn before long from the consideration of
the Senate, and new and more liberal treaty
to the United States, especially On the tobacco
aud sugar questions. substituted by the repro
sentatives of the Spanish Government. he
saws the Spanish Minister has almost become
convinced that the present treaty Will be de-
feated, and that even II It is ratified by the
Senate, the necessary enabling act to carry 1t
into effect Will not be passed by the House.
Under the principle, he says, that half loaf
is better than no bread, Spain may offer
modified treaty.
The same gentleman SAYS that the principal
reason why there Is q suspicion that there Is a
job OF some kind in the Nicaraguan treaty lies
IN the fact that the Secretary of State, who
negotiated the treaty, persstently pressed
upon Congress last session, as a diplomatic
and international question, proposition to
buy a franchise from a Nicaraguan canal
company. which has its headquarters in New
York. and pay $250,00O therefor. Franchises
of this kind can, he said, be obtained from the
Nicaraguan Government by simply asking
for them. This S250,000 was to be divided
among the 25 men who owned the franchise,
but who could not secure capital enough TO
even start the work of canal building.
He says it IS generally thought that there Is
8 hidden clause in the treaty which Will glGe

refused last session te pay ore cent for the
franchise. The proposition 10 build g d at

BEECHER ON DIsAFFECTION,
He Indulges in Plain Talk to the Mem
bers of His Congregation.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-Rev. Henry Ward
Beeeher, after he had concluded his sermon
in Plymouth Church to-day, touched upon
the disaffection which existed among some of
his congregation, caused by his action in the
late campaign. lie alluded to his 40 wears
pastorate, and SAID that he never mixed poll
ties with his theology in the pulpit. He said
that he did not know how far the tro uble had
spread, but had only learned it from the
newspapers. If there were any pewholders
offended he did not know them. He
did not want dissatisfied per-
son TO sneak away. Let him come
to Beecher's face, and tell him he is dissatis-
fed, and Beecher would bless him. In rela-
tion to pew rents he did not care if they were
diminished. He had lived on a salary of
81, 500 when he first became a preacher, and
if necessary could live upon it
now. If there was majority in the church,
or a strong minority, who no longer wanted
him, he would go. II the great majority
wished him to stay he would die with them
and nothing would drive him away. If he
stayed the congregation would have to re-
ceive him not on a pitchfork, but in the palms
of their hands,

THE POLITICAL MECCA.
CDR" Mary Walker Calls on Gov,
Cleveland.

ALBANY, Dec. 26.-The dull mOnotony of
life around the executive chamber was en-
livened to-day by visit from ''Dr." Mary
Walker. She is on her way from OswegO to
Washington. She said she had never seen
Grover Cleveland and had called to pay her
respects to him as an American citizen. The
bifurcated garments, the heavy overcoat and
shiny plug hat attracted a great deal of at
tentiOn, and long line of Orderlies waited
curiously around to see her as she came down
in the elevator. The doctor did not sue
ceed in seeing the Governor. 1t was almost
his hour for going to tea, and the news Of the
distinguished arrival in the outer chamber is
supposed to have had disturbing influence
for number of gentlemen on the way to the
capitol reported that they had just intercepted
the Governor in the act of conducting mas
terly retreat in the direction of the Executive
Mansion. His private secretary, Col. Lamont
was left in charge of the deserted chamber
but when word was conveyed to him that the
"dOctOr" was still on guard ready to
pounce upon him when he came forth he
wrapped himself in his military cloak and
evacuated the premises, carrying Off his bag
gage train in good order and reaching his
home in jay street before the enemy was
aware of his stealthy retreat. The only Incl
dent that marred the doctors" visit was a
Wrangle with a hackman, who insisted on
charging fare for full grown man, though
the ''doctor' insisted that it was an over
charge. The hackman was compelled to de-
part without the extra charge. He cast a
longing look at the doctors silk hat, as if
he would like to levy on it, The ''doctor" de-
tected the glance and, placing the hat behind
her, backed deliberately beyond the reach OF
