Concerning the outlook Of business
q not over hopeful New York ex-
change says there IL q wonderful
change of opinion among the mer-
chants generally, who are watching
with keen and anxious eyes the in
dications of the opening Spring trade
There is q I. cling of decided unrest
at the laggard fashion in which trade
Is moving, and not a few of the more
dependent spirits in the business
world are already looking forward to
the Summer dullness and q year of
merely nominal profits. What buyers
there are in town seem to be careful
in combining their orders to the de-
mands of the ear by wants, 80 that

dullness in trade bring about q reduce

existing.

how I came to take an interest i'll
having Gen. Grant treated at his

it was thought advisable to consider

found to be such that a surgical OPP
Grafton was out of the question.
There was no way of getting at the
liberation. The Generals throat will
not be closed up by the growth of the
diseased parts, but he will waste away
because of the drain upon his system
and the wearing of the disease upon
his nervous forces. I am sorry to
say that this Is seldom cured, and
there seems to be little hope for his
life. We told Gen. Grant that he
might smoke half a cigar, out in one
week from that time he had ceased
tobacco In any form. 1t was thought
not best to irrltate his throat with to-
bacco. To say that nicotine Was the
cause OF the cancer is going too far.

Arrest Of AlysseEious Parties.

ALBANY, N. Y, March 1.-Two
men who appeared to be acting sus-
picieusly in the neighborho0d OF the
Towner house where Cleveland lives,
were arrested this morning at eleven
O'Clock by Detectives Dryer and
Morris, by order of the chief of po-
lice, and taken to the police station
here They were identified by
Dwight Lawrence as two detectives
named Thomas Craig and Theodore
Waldron, employed by a private
agency at No. 304 Broadway N. Y.
They refused to till their business to
the chief of police aud referred to In
spector Byrnes to say what 1T was for
they were taken before the magis-
trate. They were committed for q
further hearing. The latest SUPPOSE

ployed by friends of Cleveland with
out his knowledge or the knowledge
of the authorities to protect him
from the threats of violence that have
been made from time to time.

The real estate, men of Washing

OF administration would rather help

be the case. For every Republican

The class of rich and idle people who

affected by the change, and to them
will be added a great number OF rich
Democrats drawn by the attractions

It is time that the Cakinet officers

will be Democrats to take them. Mr..

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The ma

day, with =. full attendance. with
w. H. BarnuIn presiding. The
meeting was held mainly to exchange
congratulations upon the success at

and a discussion of the part they
should take in the inaugural cere-
monies. 1t was fully agreed that the
members of the committee could
witness the proceedings at the CAPT.

to the grand stand In front of the

for the persons gathered in the Sem

Gals and citizens the latter on such
occasions generally numbering many
thousands. It is probable that hi>

extemporaneously, as that is his habit
in speech.making. On the conclu.
sion of the address the civic and mil
itary procession will move from the
cspitol to the executive mansion,
and after a general public reception
In the afternoon, the day will close

One who knows all about the com
ing il augural address says: ION
the tariff question Mr.. Cleveland
will disappoint the extremists. but
please the c 'untry. I asked him
about his tariff views, and he told
me he had just been looking over his
Newark speech, the only q in
which he approached that subject,
and that he found 1t q pretty good
statement. He showed the speech to
me and I wrote down what he had
said" The clause in the Newark
speech reads: "At this time, when
the suffrages of the laboring men are
so industriously sought, they should
by careful inquiry, it seems to me,
discover the party pledged to the
protection Of their interests, and
which recognizes in their labor some
thing most valuable to toe prosperity
of the country, and primarily en-
titled to its car and protection"
