eral appropriation bills upon which final
action had not been taken by the Houses
of Congress. The action OF the House
in insisting on its Disagreement to the
French Spoiiation claims amendment on
the Deficiency bill was taken with the
tacit understanding that the Senate re-
cede from its position and al
low the bill to become law
without this provision incorporated in it.
Among the other bills upon which there
are still some points of disagreement, is
the Sundry Civil Those points which
relate to the appropriation for the benefit
of the widow OF Chief Juetice Waite, and
to the amount of royalty to be paid for
the use of steam presses in the bureau of
engraving and printing, will doubtless be
agreed upon, and the prospects are that
all the appropriation bills will be laws
before noon tomorrow.

GETTING I'm GALA DRESS.
The National Capital Putting OE
Its Best BIB and Tucker.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-It has been
raining all day with varying degrees of
intensity, but Notwithstanding the bad
weather the streets have been full OF
people all day, and tonight walking is
difficult about the public places. Train
loads of people have arrived and many
marching organizations paraded through
the streets to their headquarters, with
bands playing and colors flung to the
breeze. The city has the appearance of
a lively western town on Sunday. Many
stores are open, and itinerant vendors OF
cheap inauguration souvenirs ply their
trade on the principal thoroughfares.
The various committees have nearly
all completed their labors, and every
thing is in readiness for the grand cele.
bration tomorrow. If the weather
should be fair, there will be larger and
more imposing parade than ever before.
Gen. Hastings, chief Of Governor
Beavers staff, said this evening that
organizations were coming in rapidly,
and he had received several new applica-
tions for places in the line during the
day.
General Harrison and his family spent
the day very quietly in their rooms at
the Arlington. The General did not go
to church. There were not many callers.
General Sherman paid his respects, and
General Tracy and daughter and few
others made brief social calls. John
Scott Harrison, the Presidents brother,
arrived during the day from Kansas City,
and SO did General Noble, who has gener-
ally been slated for place in the Cabi-
net. The latter is stopping at the Nor
mandie.

1T DIDN'T WORK.
E Little Scheme of MIR. GOOdmanss
That Fell Through.


A railroad passenger agent from up
north, who is on an official visit TO the
city, brings down a good s@ory on Mr.. T.
H. Goodman, General Passenger Agent
OF the Southern Pacific. Mr.. Goodman
wages fierce war against the ticket.
scalpers, and they are naturally very
sreful toksep both themselves and every
thing pertaining to their business out
of his way. Now one OF the profession,
about month ago, purchased whole
lot of return second-class tickets over the
Southern Pacific from some arrivals in
the Bay City, over the Sunset route, and
tying them together, he placed them in
the inside pocket of his coat for safe
keeping. But alas the lining was
very frail, and as he was stroll
| ing about the streets that night they
broke through and fell to the ground un-
noticed by him. The individual who
found them, seeing that they were issued
by the Southern Pacific, sent them in to
| the office on Fourth and Townsend
streets, where they came into Mr.. Good
mans hands, who Immediately saw that
some scalper had lost them. Determined
to teach him or, rather, his victims,
a lesson, he did nothing beyond care
fully taking the number and form of
each ticket, and when in next mornings
paper appeared an advertisement by the
broker announcing his loss, Mr.. Good
man had them returned to the scalper in
a manner that he fondly hoped would
not let him know that his pasteboards
were as good as useless. That at least was
what Mr.. Goodman thought they were,
for he sent out a list of the tickets to all
his conductors, with instructions TO take
them up on presentation, and eject their
holders unless they paid up full fare to
their destinations. And then he
chuckled to himself as he sat |
in bis private office and imag-
ined the scenes on the trains as |
the purchasers of the listed pasteboards |
who through endeavoring to beat the |
railroad out of a few dollars would be
compelled to walk, or else pay their fare
over again to his men. The tickets were
only good for certain number of days |
and as time rolled on Mr.. Goodman be-
gan to look very thoughtful, for, strange
to say, none of the tickets were being
card from, and at last their period of
limitation had expired without any re-
ports from the conductors, which would
sustain his jocular view of the affair.
Thoroughly amazed at last, Mr.. Good
Iuan ordered careful inspection OF all
the tickets that had been brought in
during the preceding thirty days
and on this being done he found,
to his horror and disgust, that he
had been out-Heroded, and that every
one of the holders of the scalped tickets
had gone through all right The reason
for this was that the broker was
a little smarter than Mr.. Goodman had
imagined, and on getting his lost tickets
back he had carefully charged with acid
the number on each, so as to be on the
safe side in case the tickets had fallen
into official hands.
Mr.. Goodman is said to be thoroughly
disgusted with the result of his little
project, and will hold on to scalped
tickets the next time any get into his
instead of sending them forth
with the hope of catching their possessor

The Inerams stage Robbers.

SANTA Rosa, March 3.-Sheriff Colgan
returned to-day from Kansas City, where
he had been after the Gorton brothers
under arrest for the robbery of the stage
near Ingrams, in this county, in Decem'
Der last. He did not bring the prisoners
as the United States Marshal, who holds
them to answer to the charge of robbine
the mails, would not surrender them.
After the disposition of this charge, they
will be brought here for trial for the rob-
berry of the stage.

Some Atchtson Facts.


j. f. Ewing, President of the Finan'
cier Company, has just returned from
Boston, and can state emphatically that
there is no foundation for the rumor that
Jay Gould has bought O controlling in.
terest in the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe road, or 10000 shares, as was stated
on the street Saturday, or that one
dollars worth of the stock stands
10 his name, or in the name oi
any of his brokers, on the books of the
company also that there is not one word
Of truth in the statement that the road
has made overtures to Mr.. Gould for
financial assistance of any character
whatever. There is also no truth in the
statement that the road is to be placed in
the hands of receiver, or that Mr..
Strong. the President, or Mr.. Smith, the
Vice-P President, is to resign, s. that they
ever thought of such thing.
The read, in fact, was never in better
condition than at present. Albert Nick
erson and his family connections own
10000 shares of the stock, and all reports
that he is seller are absolutely false.
The capital stock of the road is 750, 900
shares, out OF which only 9, 800 are held
in New York, which is sufficient evil
dence that neither Mr.. Gould nor any
New York party has power to control the
annual election. 1t has not been neces-
sary for the company to use up the
81, 900, 900 of notes which were author
lied to be issued some time ago for the
purpose of cancelling the floating debt.
The net income has been and is now
sufficient to pay interest on bonds as it
natures. While it is undoubtedly true
that the road has suffered with other
roads from excessive competition at low
rates, yet its financial condition is
sound, and it is earning considerably
more than its fixed charges. Y.

OF all the party, and on Wednesday

In view of the return recently moved
for by Mr.. Gladstone of the Mt mber of
suits instituted in the divorce court since

(says the correspondent) to follow the
the lines of Mr.. Gladstone's motion, and
distinguish between suits by husbands
