pieces. Mrs. Cleveland brought only few
of her dresses. The president did not for
get a reel and line, for few rods down on
the western side of the railway, in gully
scarcely six feet wide, is one of the best
trout streams in the Allegheny mountains.
This flows through the estate of Senator
Davis and is guarded jealousy by half
hundred watchmen. The senator has
placed the stream at the pleasure of the
president and he will begin his amusement
tomorrow.
THE MINISTER'S IGNORED.
The West Virginia Nj. E. conference,
which has been in session here for several
days. passed resolution appointing COM
mittee OF five to wait on the president and
ask for an Interview. Some one suggested
that the committee be instructed to con-
graduate and kiss the bride. A member
suggested that as Mr.. Elkins had
arranged for the privacy of the
presidential party, his wishes should
be respected, but another said that as Mr..
Elkins was not friendly to MI. Cleveland
during the campaign, his wishes would
have no weight with Democrats. Quite
discussion followed, but the committee was
finally appointed and request for an i'll
| terview was sent by special messenger, but
up to Z o'clock the conference had not been
honored by reply.
GENERAL GOSSIP.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-Nearly 1000
people, principally ladies, entered the
White house grounds to-day in hope of be-
ing able to inspect the floral decorations
and particularly in the blue room. where
| the marriage ceremony was solemniZed last
evening. All, however. were doomed to
disappointment, and none of them were al
lowed to get farther than the main entrance
Inside workmen had been engaged from an
early hour removing the tropical plants and
all floral decorations, and cleaning the
house generally. Most of the flowers used
| in the decorations were distributed among
the city hospitals. The sensational state
ments that the diplomatic corps as a body
are dissatisfied because they were not in
vited to the presidents wedding are mac
curate. Some of the younger members OF
the corps were guilty of Incorporate
speeches. but the British and German min
listers will call upon Secretary Bayard and
ask that a day may be fixed when they can
call upon the president to congratulate him.
One of the last official acts of the presi-
dent previous to his marriage was the par
doning Of 8. F. Bigelow, the defaulting
teller of the National Bank of the Republic
Of this city.
PITTsBURG. June 3.-The Amalgamated
association adopted the following resolu-
tons to-day:
Resolved, That the convention extend its
most heartfelt congratulations to President
Cleveland on the event of his most happy
journey TO the state of matrimonial bliss. We
hope his journey through life will be both
prosperous and happy, and that all bachelor
presidents will profit by his example.
The Introduction of the above caused con-
siderable hilarity, because the closing sug-
gestion was aimed directly at President
Weihe of the association, who is also a
bachelor. The resolution was unanimously
apopted. The iron workers were a unit in
the cordial expression of the sentiment of
Rip Van Wrinkle that Grover and his bride
may live long and prosper.
About 500 kilograms congratulating the
president on his marriage have been re-
ceived at the White house. They include
messages from ex-President Arthur, Mrs.
Grant, Ministers Pendleton and Phelps and
many public men throughout the country.
None of the dispatches will be given out
for publication.
