His Last Executive Night,

President Cleveland worked in his office at the White House until within few minutes of o'clock in the morning. When the church bells ill the town rang out the hour that was but six away from the time when he would retire from the office the lights were turned out and the home of presidents was in gloom. Mir. Cleveland had a difficult experience all night long. Piled up in front of him were the bills which called for his at tention and which he examined so minutely and he was very anxious to sign as many of them as possible. Col. Lamont was just d few feet away, and some of the cabinet officers dropped ill during the evening to as sist him ill arriving at comprehensible un- derstanding of some of the more intricate clauses of the bills

COnSpicuous by Their Absence.

The absence of Mrs. Cleveland and other members of the presidents house hold from the seats reserved for them in the private gallery during the in augural ceremonies was the subject of much comment. Senator Ingalls was asked to give his permission for the use of the gallery by other distinguished: guests, but he suggested that if Mr. Cleveland's family did not choose to come possibly it would be better to permit them to be conspicuous by their absence. The seat, which was ill the front row, remained vacant, therefore, throughout the proceedings.

AS CANADA VIEWS US.

An M. F. Thinks He Sees Evidences of
 Dissolution of the United States.
 OTTAWA, March 5.--Mr Mills Conserve tive) will introduce in few days bill in the Dominion parliament which states that a union between Canada and the United States appears advisable, and that the subject is being widely discussed throughout the Do minion by leading business men. That it also seems that the experiment of Republican government has proved failure, and there are strong indications that the dissolution of the federation known as the United States, is imminent, and the spread of anarchy or the building up of other foreign powers in the adjacent states, known as New England, might imperil British interests on this conti- nent. That facts go to show that New England since sevaing connection with the British crown has not made nearly as great progress relatively as the prov inces, and while their return to their old allegiance would not only materially advance the trade and promote prosperity of the states, it would be a probable benefit to the neigh boring provinces. That parliament views the agitation with sympathy and do all in it's power to aid in the annexation of such new England states and that his e1cellency, the governor general, in council be and is hereby empowered to cooperate with her majesty s government in securing such amendment to the act of British North America as may be necessary to extend the boundaries of Canada, such boundaries, however, not to extend in westerly direction beyond the Connecticut river, the Green mountains and Lake Champlain.

He spoke of the besetting sin of his colleague and of the wife and the seven children, two of whom had witnessed from the gallery the painful incident of the night. He said that he did not blame the presiding officer, be- cause he had done only what he had to do The story had been published far and wide in the newspapers, but he asked that the senate would not make it matter of official record for future generations to point to-
