 WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s. NY DEAR JoHNNl-The following conversation with the president will explain itself:
 "Mr. President, did you ever hear of Belshaz- zAr?"
 "Of course, Col Snort; l am not ignorant of the scriptures"
 "in some respects, Mr. President, you remind me Of Belshazzar. Neither of you seemed to catch on to the handwriting on the wall"
 'I suppose, then, you are the prophet Snort-I mean Daniel"
 "Belshazzar, Harrison you have hit it. Here is some of the hand writing on the wall, ]" said hold irg up extra in which appeared in large letters "INDIANAroLIS GONE DEMO, RATIO"
 Harrison glanced at it, and, in the language of scripture "Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against the other.'-Daniel, chapter five sixth verse.
 "And that night, Belshszzar, the king of the Chaldeans was sain," quoted Harrison solemnly "Perhaps, Mir. President, it will turn out other wise"
 "Colonel Snort" said Harrison, taking down the big bible," "do you remember the subsequent pro-

 "I do not, Mir. President"
 "Let me read them to you. I'd like to pose as Daniel, myself, for a change Listeni And Darius the Median took the kingdom, after Harrison-I mean after BelshaZzar"
 "Who do you suppose Darius is?" asked. al should say that it means Dave Hill will re- ceive the Democratic nomination, and be elected, !" replied Harrison with sigh.
 "Is there any prophecy about what happened to Bill Snort2" asked
 "Yes, indeed" 1" said the president, reading: "It pleased Dave Hill, or rather Darius, to set three rulers over the kingdom, ofwhom Daniel, or rather Bill Snort, was first, that the princes should give account unto him.1Daniel vi., first and second verses. That undoubtedly means that you will of state under Darius the Median, alias Dave Hill" "Mr. President" !" said l, not relishing such per- sonalities, "what do you think about these Indian apolis Republicans?"
 "The more I know about them the more my heart goes out to dogs" said Harrison, bitterly. Indianapolis is not the only place where the Democrats have crawled up on the Republicans, while they were in swimming, and carried of their clothes. There is Montana, for instance, 1 said consolingly."
 "Yes, and my son Russ assured me that Montana was safe."

WELCOMED TO BIRMINGHAM.
Enthusiastic Reception TO MIR. Cham.
beriain and His American Bride.

The town hall Of Birmingham, deliberately
decorated with ferns, orchids, and other plants
was crowded last night with brilliant gather
ing OF the society Of the great English manufao-
turing city. The occasion which drew them to-
gether was the formal public welcome home Of
Mr. Joseph Chamberlain and his Americas
bride. The entrance Of Mr.. and Mrs Cham
oerlain, who were accompanied by Mr.. Cham
oeriain's sons and daughter Lady Vaudeville,
and Others, was the signal for great cheering,
the organist meanwhile playing wedding
march. Handsome bouquets were presented
to Mrs. Chamberlain. who was greatly pleased
at the heartiness Of the reception and repeat
ediy bowed her acknowledgements. The bride
was dressed in pink satin, and her ornament,
were diamonds and sapphires
Inc presentation Of the wedding gifts and
accompanying addresses followed The gifts
consisted of pearl necklet with diamond
clasp from the citizens. and a brilliant diamond
proocn, containing nfty-hve gems in the
shape OF six-pointed star. the gift OF the
women OF birmingham. The citizens had SUBJ

Just presented, he said that that was no new feel

greatest trial-the crisis OF the Union-the elo-

hushed for a time by illness. was raised again
IN that very hall TO defend the integrity of the

whole country. Ii was now admitted on all

were determined that they should be amicably

The Alaskan Inquiry.
STATEMENT FROM THE ATTORNEY FOR THE ALASKA
COMPANY.

SIAIEMENT FROM THE ATTORNEY FOR THE ALASKA
COMPANY.
When the committee on the merchant ma
rine and fisheries met yesterday to continue
its investigation into the alleged out
RACES on the Seal islands in the Behring
sea- Mr.. Jeffries, the attorney for the Alaska
company, submitted statement which. he
said, he deemed important as to the course to
be pursued by the company in
reference to the pending investigation.
He desired to show, he said that
the charges which have appeared in certain
newspapers accusing the company of oppress-
ing and Outraging the native inhabitants of
Alaska, and those in an official re-
port of the governor of the territory
asserting that the company had
opposed immigration and settlement, and with
driving out competition in its trade, monopo-
LIKING its business, and expressing the natives
were unfounded.
Representative Dunn, the chairman of the
committee, read the resolution of the House
authorizing the investigation. and decided
that it did not permit the committee
to go into all the charges af-
fecting the company outside of the
Seal islands. He would allow Mr.. Jefferies,
however. to show in general way that the pos
session of the lease for taking fur seals, and the
presence of the company's representatives in
the Territory of Alaska, were beneficial to the
country.
Messrs. 7. F. Morgan, DIR. Chas A. Lutz, J.
E. Kirk, John r. Hall, and j. C. Redpath were
called and testified in favor of the company

CALLING OUT ssBILL EvARTS."
Hon. Tim Campbell Impresses -Four Of
His Constituents.

Many Of the members of Congress who now
enliven the proceedings in the hall Of the
House Of Representatives will be missed after
the close of this session, but none will be
mourned for SO extensively as the Hon. limo
thy J. Campbell, who now represents the eighth
New York congressional district. On him the
newspaper correspondents have pinned an in
finite variety of jokes, ancient and modern, but
they will have to find some other character on
which to operate after the 4th of next March.
There is, however, one characteristic story of
the honorable Tim which has never been
printed, and although the occurrence which is
to be chronicled dates back couple of years
still the matter is fresh. 1t was just before
Warner Miller gave up his seat in the Senate to
Hiscock that the ''mimber frum tn eighth"
escorted a quartette of intimate friends over to
the northern end of the capitol The visitors
were
TYPICAL GOTHAM WARD POLITICIANS.
Their faces were rubicund and their voices
were loud. Diamonds of the largest size and
OF the most gorgeous glitter adorned their shirt
fronts. while the four closely-cropped heads
were topped with the latest style in silk hats.
Headed by the congressman they made de-
scent upon one of the doorkeepers of the Sem
ate. Mr.. Campbelrs form was very erect and
his head was thrown back to such an extent
that an ignorant observer might have supposed
that the congressman was about to attempt
some intricate acrobatic feat
Say" said the honorable Tim, as he grabbed
the doorkeeper by the collar, tell Bill Evarts
I have some frinds out here that wud loike &
say him."
THE DooRKEEPER WAS AsToUNDED
at the familiarity with which Mr.. Evarts was
referred to. but in minute or so the Senator
was undergoing the agonies of handshaking
contest with the muscular constituents of Mr..
Campbell. Five minutes later he was back in
his seat in the chamber, congratulating himself
at his escape.
Once more did Mr.. Campbell address the
doorkeeper. ''Tell Miller to come out here, "
said he. And Miller came. The introductions
were made and Mr.. Miller, after brief chat,
went back to his seat
Tins exuberance knew no bounds. He had
shown his friends how easily he could drag the
Senators out of their seclusion: he had proved
his power. With his thumbs stuck in the arm
holes of his waistcoat the ''mimber frum tn
eighth" cut Bowery 'pigeon-wing" on the
sacred green carpet of the Senate lobby. and,
as he concluded the final step of his pas de
seaa, he gazed triumphantly at his ''constitoo-
ents" and queried 'Fwhat do yees tink av yer
Congressman now, me byes?'

MIR. PHELPS COMING HOME.
Lord Salisbury's Affront to be Resented

London Correspondence New York Tribune
1t is now pretty generally known in London
that the American minister goes home at the
end Of the present month. As il was known
before that he meant to remain till April the
English public is slowly drawing the natural
inference from this change of date; it is, in
fact, dawning upon them that Mr.. Phelps re-
turn is not wholly unconnected with Lord
Salisburys stubbornness in keeping the British
legation in Washington vacant. The State de-
partment officials have been a little slow in
perceiving that Lord Salisbury's refusal to
send a successor to Lord Sackville was meant
as diplomatic affront, but they have. 1 Judge,
at last walked mp to the fact and are acting ac-
cordingly. They need not proclaim their
motives or sound trumpet Of defiance or
say or do anything. but allow Mr.. Phelps to
take the steamer quietly for New York. The
foreign Office, European diplomatists, and the
public generally win understand what is meant.
Lord Salisbury's policy of sulks viii be seen to
have failed. The provocation he has offered
America will be properly met. and the govern
ment at Washington win regain the prestige il
seemed in danger Of losing. Finally Europe
VIII see that the nation cares not merely, as
that repudiated State department official put
it, for business, but for national honor also.

SECOND AUDITOR DAY ISSUES CIRCULAR RELA-
TIVE TO MILEAGE FOR SOLDIERS.
The commissioner of pensions has, within
the last few days, received about two hundred
letters from invalid pensioners and widows of
soldiers of the late war. Many of these con-
tain newspaper clippings to the effect that
Private Dalzell. of Ohio. in a statement to a
friend living in Pittsburg, Pa. says there is a
law OF Congress allowing soldiers who were
captured and imprisoned while in the line of
duty. or their legal representatives, % cents a
day while so confined. 25 cents a day while on
furlough 25 cents daily for extra-duty pay be-
tween April and October, 1862; also Transports
ton to and from the army at the rate of cents
a mile. 1t is further stated that he wrote to
Washington and got his money without ques-
ton, and that every other soldier or pensioner
can do the same thing. The commissioner in
an official letter inclosing two of these inqui-
rles, called the attention of Second Auditor
Day, of the Treasury, to the matter, who re-
sponded by issuing the following circular:
There is no law allowing 5 cents mile or
any mileage to soldiers or enlisted men, Nearly
all those soldiers entitled to Communication Of
subsistence and travel pay (act of Jnly %. 1861
have already been paid it. No transportation
pay is due to soldiers while travelling ON fur
Tough. Nearly all volunteer soldiers entitled
to extra-duty pay have received it. and section
35, act March 3. 1868. repeats all laws in force
as to such pay for volunteers for extra service
performed after March 8, 1863, with only few
exceptional cases. Nearly all soldiers who were
prisoners of war and their heirs. under act
July 25, 1866. and act March 2, 1867, have re-
ceived pay for rations allowed under said acts.
The commssary-general, U. S. A., War depart
ment, and the third auditor Of the Treasury
have jurisdiction of these claims, and also for
subsistence pay for soldiers while on furlough."
This circular will be embodied in circular
letter from the pension Office, and will be used
in reply to all inquiries regarding such allow
ances.
