WASHINGTON. May 16-The president re-
sumed his official duties at the White
House today. He was at his desk from 9
p'clock until g. with the exception of an
hour for lunch, and portion of this time
was spent in the east room shaking hands
with party Of eXcursionists from Penn
Eylvania. He disposed of considerable ron
tine business during the day, and had con-
ferences on important official matters with
Attorney General Miller, Secretary Tracy,
Secretary Foster, Assistant Secretaries
Moore, Grant, Chandler and Spaulding, of
the state, war, interior and treasury de-
partments respectively, and Senators Haw
ley and Morrill, and Mr.. John w. Foster,
who had just returned from a special mis-
sion to Spain.
There are number of important ques-
tions pending in each of the executive de-
partments, and it is the presidents pur-
pose to dispose of them as rapidly as pos
sible. The Bering sea question requires
immediate consideration, and the president
viii devote his attention to that first, with
a view of having the seal fisheries, so far
as the present season is concerned, clearly
defined, pending the final settlement of
the controversy by the slower process of
arbitration. Ii is probable that the sailing
orders of the revenue cutters assigned TO
duty in the Bering sea will be made out
and issued next week. Another matter
that will probably be disposed of next
week is the appointment of the land court

recommended that the switchmen' 9 officers

former in demanding the discharge of

| The Joint Committees Meet and Suggest
That City Council Obtain $500, 900 for
| the Purpose.
The joint committee of City Council,
! the Directors of the Street and Sewer
Department anr. the citizens committee
helda meeting Friday night in the rooms
Of the Street and Sewer Department for
the purpose of discussing the proposed
manner OF Il comprehensive improve
mant of the city streets. There was n
general unanimity Of opinion in regard
to the needed changes and that the only
way to meet the difficulty was toeXpend
q sufficient sum of money upon the
streets at once.
Five members Of Council, including
Messrs. Mckenney, Baugh, Cotton,
Beale and Magee We're present. As they
understood ii their presence at the meet
ing was not to vote definitely upun any
point but in the sense OF II conference
representation to inform Council on
the sense Of the joint meeting.
DIR. Draper, of the citizens committee,
offered Il resolution that it was the sense
Of themeeting that Council request the
Legislature for authority to borrow
100000 With which to pave the streets,
the fnSnagement and expenditure Of the
fund to he in the hands of the Street
and Sewer Department Director Muir
ray, while in favor of the resolution,
offered the amendment that when the
bill il presented TO the Legislature, the
latter be instructed oroquest an opinion
from the courts as to the legality Of Ii
law assessing abuttng properties for
share of the cost of the improvement.
MI. Murray was Of the opinion that citi-
zens owning admitting property should
share ia the expense.
All present were in favor of the
amendment. The question was raised
a. TO whether owners could be forced to
pay these extra assessments it being
generally understood that council cam
not enforce the payment even if the
btll be passed by the Legislature. That
is to say such action would be unconsti-
tItitnal.
City solicitor Lyman suggested that
being city business the bill should
emanate from Council and that re-
quest be made that body to prepare Il
bal embotlying the necessary legislation
1t would be prepared By the city solicit
Tor " no would receive suggestions from
the joint committee and from citizens.
Mr.. Lyman thought that every oppor-
tunity should be given the public for
expressing its views. When the bill is
finally prepared and ready for presenta-
ton 20 the Legislature citizens mass |
meeting will be held Tor its considem-
ton and endorsement.

Democratic Levy courtmen Proclaim
That Sussex County Has Been Bankrupt
by Republican Management.
Special Correspondence Of Gazette and journal
GEoRGETowN, Feb 1.-The levy court
met yesterday morning pursuant to adj
iOurnment. The regular business was
transacted i'll morning session. In the
afternoon session Mr.. Fisher offered the
following resolutions;
WHEREAS, The assertion that our rate of
assessment has been reduced from 80
cents to 40 cents ON the 500 tends to de-
ceiye the people of our county since said
reduction was improperly made for parti-
san and party purposes without regard to
the condition Of our county finances; and
WHEREAS, Said reduction has left unuro-
vided for and unpaid large county orders
to our several eX-sheritls, to our other
county officers, and to our creditors gener-
ally so that there is q large outstanding
floating Indebtedness, for the payment of
which no funds are provided and
WHEREAS, In respect to this floating in
debtedncss our county is virtually insol-
vent and bankrupt; and
WHEREAS, Our people are clamoring for
the payment of these orders and demand
ing that simple justice be done them Now
therefore be it
HeSol0ed, That the next assessment for
GounlN purposes De maze not us the last
has been made for party and partisan pur-
poses and with view to deceive the
people But that we make and regulate
said assessment solely upon business prin-
ciples and with regard only to the true con
dition of our county finances and county
indebtedness.
There was quite rangle over these
resolutions and they were finally laid
over until the March term by strict
party vote, the seven Republicans volt
ing to lay it over and the six Democrats
against. The levy court also passed
resoletion asking that the per diem pay
for attendance on roads be increased
from $3.50 to 50, as $3.50 was the
allowance when 81 80 was the per diem
for attendance at levy court, whereas il
is now SO. The court then adjourned
until Tuesday night.

EXCITEMENT Ar B4RcE1osA.

The Government Ready to Make a
Greater Display of Force Protesting
Against the Gendarmes.
BARCELONA, Feb. 1.-THE excitement
caused by the recent electoral contest by
which the Republican leader Salmeron
was, according to the Republicans, un-
fairly defeated by the Conservative can
didate PUG has not abated. The troops
of the garrison are confined to their bar
racks and preparations are being made
to send strong reinforeements to this
city should the state OF affairs call for
an additional display Of force.
Thousands Of people not connected
with the Republican party have signed
petitions, which have been forwarded to
Madrid, asking the government to dis
miss the civil governor and other officials
from office in consequence Of the out
rageous treatment, on the part of the
mounted gendarmes, of the crowd Of
people who gathered on Wednesday
night to attend the reception given to
Senior Salmcron. The gendarmes, it
will be remembered, charged the
people who were listening TO speech
which was being delivered by the Re
publican leader Salmeron and firing
right and left injured a large number Of
people. Bullets were also found to have
tlattened around the window where
Salmeron was speaking and his friends
claimed that this was an attempt to
murder him upon the part of the gend-
armes who charged the crowd.
