CLEvELAND,s RELATIVES.
Only Three of Them Holding office
Under the Government.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-There has been
some newspaper gossip about President
Cleveland's relatives in Office, and in reply
the Sunday Capital here has risen to remark
that there are but two of the presidents
relatives in Office, the superintendent of the
Toledo government building, Mr.. Bacon,
and a deputy collector of customs at CleYe-
land. D. There is one case, however. of
which the Capital has not heard, and that
is the one of Collector Bishops clerk at
Cincinnati. When Mr.. Bishop was making
up his force for the Office of collector of in
ternal revenue at Cincinnati, he had the
applicants examined as TO their fitness.
Among them was man by the name of
Cleveland who ehanced to stand high in his
examination and recommendations. Among
the questions prepared was one which in
quired if the applicant had any relatives in
Office. To this the applicant answered:
None except my nephew, Grover Cleve-
land, who is president Of the United
States" This answer pretty nearly paral-
yZed Collector Bishop. who had no idea that
he was on the verge of appointing the presi-
dents uncle to a position so humble COM
pared with that of his nephew. The ex-
animation of the candidate had proved
highly satisfactory. however, and his rec
concentrations were good, and as Mr..
Bishop could not see that the fact that the
candidate was relative of the president
was proper ground for rejection, he gave
him the position for which he had asked.

the pay and emcluments of tine Office, was
agreed to. Through Mr.. Teller the Col
OradO legislature presented a memorial
urging congress 70 see that no diScriIaina-
ton was made against silver and favOring
the free coinage of that metal. The senate
gave some consideration 70 the bill provid-
ing for the division of the Sioux Indian
reservation in Dakota but without reach
ing q result the matter went over. Mr..
Brown called up Mr.. Beek's silver resOlu-
ton and addressed the senate in its favor.
If the government VIII not take the matter
in hand, then the people at their recurring
elections should take it in hand and ill all
the departments of the government with
men who will apply the corrective, and
forfeit the charters of such banks as abuse
their privileges. Mr.. MaXey said the raid
on silver was
A EUROPEAN RAID.
The silver advocates repelled the impu-
tation that they wanted TO take any ad-
vantage of their creditors by paying a dol
lar debt with an eighty-cent dollar. 4
touier lie had never been uttered against a
brave and industrious people. The fall OF
silver was the result of a conspiracy OF
combined capital to destroy silver as
money metal. At the conclusion of Mr..
MaXey'S remarks the judicial salary bill
was laid before the senate, One of the
sections of the bill provides that no person
related within the degree of first cousin to "a
Judge of the United States shall be APP
pointed by such judge To any position in
his courts. and that persons so related. who
how hold such office, shall not continue in
office after six months from the passage of
the act. Mr.. Edmunds moved to strike out
the clause that would affect persons at pres
ent in office and in the course of his re-
marks in support of the motion said:
Even this reform administration. the pic
ture ofpurity and grace, and of everything
lovely laughter has sent (and can state it
as public tacD TO the senate the nomina-
ton OF father and son TO go TO the same
place TO exercise the functions OF two ofti-
GERS, one under the other.
After debate the amendment of Mr.. Ed
munds was agreed To and without making
further progress with the bill the senate
adjourned until Monday.

THE PARADE.

Long Lines of TOrch.Bearers Wit
messed by Many Thousands.
The parade was a grand success. and
along the whole line of march the streets
were iamped with thousands of spectators
whose enthusiasm was unbounded. 1t
seemed that the entire city had turned
out to participate in the celebration, and it
is estimated that 100, 900 people saw the
parade. The crowds began to gather about
the Ryan hotel and the streets in the vicin-
ity shortly after 6 o'clock, and by O'Clock,
it was with difficulty that passage through
the crowd could be effected. The rotunda
and corridors of the hotel were completely
filled with men, while the stairways and
upper Railways were crowded with hun
dreds OF ladies, who were interested specta-
tors of what was going on in the rotunda and
the streets. Everybody was chock full of
enthusiasm, and the one subject of
conversation was the ice palace. Out

At these words Miss Finch stepped for
ward to the blocks. She was attired in a
red flannel ulster, bound at the waist with
broad SeaTf of blue. On her head she
wore a sailor cap of red. The uniform was
that of female members of the Nushka To-
boggan club. In her right hand she held
silver pitcher. full OF water, which she
poured over the surface Of the corner blocks
and, bOwing TO his honor Maya Rice, she
retired to her former position. Mayor Rice
then said:
Il now ask his honor, Mayor Pillsbury of
Minneapolis, IL the block is properly and
skillfully laid in place, and If the builder has
performed her dutyT''
MAYOR PILLsBURY
then came forward and examined the
blocks, while the crowd shouted his name
and thuRderOusly applauded- After care
fully looking the blocks over, he said:
"Mr. Mayor and President: am happy 10
say that j have examined the blocks and
found them well and substantially prepared
and laid i'm a substantial manner and they
VIII form strong hold for the magnificent
building to be erected here. 1 wish to say
further that the fair artisan has performed
her duty in faithful manner" TApplause.1
Turning to Mr.. Finch Mayor Rice said:
Mr.. President, his Honor pronounces the
corner block skillfully and properly laid and
formed her duty.
This concluded the ceremonies, and
cheer after cheer went up. +.

with a few remarks, expressing the
pleasure he felt at being present ON the oc-

part of his words were lost in the roar. for

ing torches and the dazzling glow of col
ored fire. beneath flags Of every nation and
headed by the harmonious and in
spiriting clash of brass bands, pre-
sented spectacle at once
grand and never to be forgotten, While St.
Paul retains the honor that now she so
proudly holds of being the metropolis of
the almost boundless Northwest.
The;citizens Of ST. Louis never paid
greater homage to the Yelled Prophets; the
citizens Of New Orleans never took deeper
interest in the Mardi Gras; the citizens of
Montreal never clapped their hands, used
their lungs or waved their handkerchiefs
more enthusiastically nor looked more
proudly on the sturdy ranks of their car
nval parade than did the citizens OF st.
Paul on the men who marched through her
streets last night. Sixty thousand people
crowded the sidewalks, covered the house
tops, and filed the windows along the line
of marce, and among these were at least
5000 representatives from sister cities, who
felt that the interests of the great trade cen
ter were in common with their own, and
availed themselves of the hearty welcome
that was accorded them to partici-
pate in an event that reflects
honor and credit to the city.
A strong and efficient force of police was
sent out and they very creditably handled
the great cOncourse of people that surged
through the streets and palace grounds.
Notwithstanding the jam and crush, not an
accident occurred, the only sufferers being
those who were imprudent enough to ven
ture out without the protection of overshoes
and heavy wraps. Had the event been
studied for years. the details could hardly
have been hung together more appropri-
ately, or the order of exercises been carried
out more harmOniOusly. Surely the inaug-
urative steps foreshadow successful car
rying out of the great and ''gllttering''

The Procession From the Top OF
the Chamber of Commerce.


the Chamber of Commerce.
A spectacle that well repaid the climbing
of six flights of stairs was to be seen from
the top floor of the chamber of commerce.
where GLOBE reporter stationed himself
as the procession was making up. The
1ickering of the torches as they were mixed
in diSOrdered mass, the costumes that
looked grOtesQue from so great an emf
nence. the clear outline of every figure on
the snow that sparkled white beneath the
torches. and the ecOnfuSed mixture of shouts,
jingling bells and occasional rattle of the
drums, while everywhere. save where the
torches were, was dark, made the scene one
as stirring and as gloomily gro
tesQue as the imagination of
poet could picture. All the streets
in sight seemed alive with dark forms, that
were moving in all directions. There was
no order at first in the arrangement of the
torches. The crowds blackened the side
walks and portion of the street, leaving
the center like an aisle with white carpet,
over which the Odd-lOOking men in uniform
kept moving. When the torch-bearers were
in line. the effect was more striking, and
when the procession had started, two
abreast, and filed the space on Sixth street
from Robert to jackson, it looked as if
whole distance. From so high an eminence
the notes of more than one band could be
heard as they floated up over the build
ings, and from the shouts as some par
ticularly striking part of the process
sion passed a crowded corner, and
the echoes from the volleys that the ice
bear clubs sent up made rattle and gen.
eral din that
WAS ALMOST STARTLING
and gave an effect that could not be noticed
below where the buildings shut off the
sound. The effect when the red lights
were burned was also beautiful. The
torches and their carriers were hid behind
the buildings, but as the red lights streamed
up, Illuminating the blocks near By and
stretching up into the darkness above, the
progress of the march could be noted. An
other thing that could hardly have been no
ticed below was made plain when these
sheets of red light flashed up, that there
were many spectators on the tops of the
buildings along Third and Wabasha
streets whose forms were clearly out
lined against the ruddy background.
So long was the procession and the crowd
along the route so large that yells were
heard way up on Wabasha street and well
down on Third street at the same time, so
that the whole city was alive with screams
and cheers coming from some indefinite
place way over in the darkness. When the
procession reached the park 4 portion of it
was lost behind the tall buildings, but as
the torches gathered many could yet be
seen, and the number grew until it seemed
almost a mass of fire, while the constantly
moving figures made fantastic little bits of
shadow such as you sometimes see when
looking into a smouldering CRATE of Goals.

THE HOUSE ON SUCCESSION.
A Discussion of the Presidential Bill
without Action

WASHINGTON, Jan. lin the house
Caldwell of Tennessee called up the Hoar
presidential succession bill. He said the
measure was not perfect one. 1t was a
temporary bridge thrown across chasm, in
order to meet public demand. aud would be-
followed in due time by an enduring struc-
ture, over which long line of Republican
and Democratic presidents might march in
unbroken succession. Mr.. Cooper of Ohio
opposed the measure. He could see no eXi-
gency for redh haste in passing the meas
ure. Mr.. Eden OF Illinois said the bill
would preserve the country from anarchy in
case of trouble rising in the matter of the
presidential succession. Mr.. Mckinley Of
Ohio gave notice of substitute which he
would offer. This substitute preserves the
law of 1892, with the addition of a provis-
ion that, for the purpose OF having a
speaker of the house of representatives con-
tlnually in office, congress shall convene OH
the 4th of March next succeeding the cleo
ton OF the present representative to con-
gress, and whenever a vacancy exists in tha
office of president pro tenn. of the senate on
speaker of the house the president shall
convene the house in which the vacancy ex-
lists for the purpose of
ELECTING A PRESIDING OFFICER.
Mr.. Peters of Kansas regarded the pend
ing measure as unconstitutional. ineXpedi-
ent and impOlitic. AIr. Seney of Ohio ad.
vocated the passage of the pending meas
ure, maintaining that it would remove
many dangers from the path of the presi-
dental succession. = Mr.. Adams of Illinois
regarded the measure as a dangerous one,
Mr.. Rowell of Illinois characterized the
bill as crude one and suggested that IL the
presiding officer of the senate was OF the
same party as the executive there would
not be the haste TO amend law which had
stood for ninety-fOur years. The strongest
objection to the bill, i'm his opinion. was
that it permitted the party in power TO per-
petuate that power for an indefinite num-
Der of years. AS admitted by the gentle
man from Tennessee (Mr. CaldwelD,
never before had the American people been
presented with such temptation to crime,
such a temptation to anarchy, such
temptation to revolution. The debate then
closed, but will be resumed tomorrow after
the transaction of private business. On
motion of Mr.. MatsOn Of Indiana Friday
night sessions were ordered for the con-
sideration of pension bills. The house then
adjourned.
