COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 4. -Reports from the
Hooking Valley this evening are that every
thing is quiet, though there is general
feeling of fear that trouble may occur at any
moment. Governor Hoadly has sent As
sistant Adjutsnt General Dill and Mine In

Weedy, of the Hooking Company, offered

this afternoon, making it penal Ofiense to
intimidate any person who enters the en-
ploy Of others engaged in legal business.
The bill was referred. 1t specially alleged
intimidation of foreign labor in tbs
Hooking Valley. The afternoon vas
taken up In the discussion OF q mo-
ton to reject the bill as an insult
to the organized labor of the country. The
Hooking Valley situation was discussed at
great length pending the motion, among the
speakers being john Mcbride, President of
the Ohio Miners Union and also member
OF the Legislature. He gave a running his
tory Of the strike and defended the Union,
denying the charges that the organization
was responsible for the destruction of life

Special 70 the Sentinel
WAsHINGToN, Jan. I4.-Altogether about
100 men are steadily employed here in
making the preliminary arrangements for
the inauguration. They are looking after
quarters, board, tickets, printing, parsdss,
money, etc. A month from now the force
will probably DO doubled. This is, of course,
exclusive Of the large force OF men-number-
ing, maybe 200 or 300-at work upon the
building where the ball will be held.
The citizens here who have observed the
inaugurstions for two score of years say the
grandeur of this one will surely eclipse all
others ever held in points of attendance and
the splendor of the procession.
Care and expense will neither be spared
for the occasion. Few people have any idea
of the enormity of the lsbor. Tt is almost as
vast as an international exposition-lsrge in
its proportions as several State fairs. But q

sorawied, on s. card, which the experienced
Charley has ready, waiting the moment when
he may catch the President with sufficient
leisure for this work. Often hundred or
two OF these requests viii accumulate before

sometimes thew will even run higher than
that and often his hand gets tired with the

Chester &. Arthur which he has aft xed
in al Official way perhaps hundreds of times
during the day. 1t must not be supposed,
however, that the Presidentsigns everything
that bears his name or even that which ap-
pears to bear his autograph" There are
probably many people in this country, es-
pecially in the West who are fondly suppos-
ing that they have the Presidents own sig
nature, written by his own hand simply
because the name as signed to some
official document looks like Mr.. Ar
thurs own signature. It would be
be @ physical impossibiIity for him to sign
all the documents required to bear his name,
and Of the same time attend to the more i'm
portsnt duties of his Office. The said war
rants alone, for instance, are go numerous
as to take constant signing of the Presidents
name for several hours every day. So there
are certain clerks whose duties are simply
to sign the Presidents name fer him. And
they fall into q way of making the sigma
ture like his. But this does not apply to
the question of autographs. Those are re.
sarded as not the sort that msy be delegst-
cd 10 others.
It is at the Capitol, however, that the
autograph collector is in his glory. There
are great men to be met at every turn, and
autographs may be had for the asking. The
customary method of obtaining them is
through the services Of the pages in the
House and Senate. These little fellows are
bright and quite ready for the opportunity
to make few dollars by this process.
