THE DECLARATION Of the liberal ad-
miuistration of Great Britain against
bimetallism necessarily renders futile
any further attempt that may be made
to attain that object, as England is the
financial center of the world. The
American Congress, however, has made
an appropriation for another bimetallic
Congress. But American congress
men contribute only small sum to this
appropriation. All oft, practically, is

Congress.

Indian appropriation bill was consider
ed. 1t contained an amendment APP
propriating eight and halfmillion dol
lars to pay the CherokceS for the lands
coded by them in the Indian Terri
tory. living between Oklohama and

some discussion, but was eventually
agreed to. Then the Deficiency bill
(the last of the appropriation bills) was
acted upon. Both the McGarrahan
and the New York bridge bills were
crowded out by the appropriation bill.
As stated in Yesterdays GAZETTE, Sen
ator Hill tried 10 get the Hudson river

Except in South America, revolutions

here they occur regularly every four

on tin that will be imported after the

Magnificent Ballroom Decorations.
The decoration of the inaugural ball
room in Washington is now nearly COM
pleted.
The scheme of the decoration is nov
ell, artistic and departure from the
hackneyed methods of the past. The
magnificent court of the ballroom gives
full scope for decorative effects, the two
series of four huge arches dividing the
floor space into three nearly equal sec
tons. These huge columns, nine feet
in diameter at the base, have been
draped from the capitals TO point ten
feet above the floor with southern smi-
lax, a radical departure from the stick
candy effects that have always been re-
sorted to in dealing with these colossal
pillars. They are, it is stated, the
largest columns used in any building
in this country, and in their towering
solidiiy they strike at once The keynote
OF the stupendous architectural idea
that dominates the interior OF the Fen
sion hall.
From the ceiling the decorator has
suspended canopy, containing some
$4,000 yards of material. The colors
are yellow and white, in yard-wlde
stripes, and are draped in graceful,
sweeping folds, that give the entire up
per portion of the hall purely ORIENT
al appearance. This light drapery low
cred the ceiling some 80 feet, and will
not only prevent the absorption into
the Egyptian darkness of the cavernous
roof, but will greatly improve the ac-
coustic properties of the hall. Above
the tesselated floor Of the great arch
rise three balconies. supported on Sc
ries of arches supported by handsome
doric columns. and forming charming
clustered walls for wearied dancers.
Around the face of the first balcony
the most ornate and beautiful fabrics
have been used. Silk plush banners,
heavily embroidered in silver and gold
thread and looped up in graceful, pleas
ing folds, alternate with American flags
draped in similar style. Upon the
plush banners aie placed shining sets
of armor pieces in silver and gold
breastpates. helmets, broadaXes, parti-
sans, billhooks, lances, swords and the
romantic paraphernalia of heraldry
Masses of foliage and smilax fill in the
remaining space, and the names of the
presidents, in incandescent lights, oc-
cupy the remainder Of the space.
From the rail of the second balcony
is suspended broad band Of scarlet
fabrics, edged with green garlands, and
looped up at every ten feet. American
shields bearing groups of American
faes are used above each column, and
below these lunches of green foliage
bearing innumerable small electric
lamps. From the top balcony are sus,
pended American banners, interspersed
with the shields of the national colors
bearing groups Of foreign flags, ono
group for elch banner.
On the walls of the first balcony are
suspended blue banners, bearing the
devices of the States, while on the bal
comics above, only the starry banner o
the nation is shown. Everywhere the
national flag strikes the dominant note
in the decorative scheme, and is never
subordinated. Only on the upper bal,
cony are any foreign colors seen. and
there only one flag for each foreign ia
ton is used, in connection with pro
fusion of American flags.

THE New YORK IIiorld says MIR.
Olney, the new Attorney General, is a
democrat, and that the national
democratic platform denounces trusts"
So it does; but it also denounces the
robber tariff, without which the trusts
could not exist. If the tariff were abol-
ished, down would so the trusts. But
though this is as plain as pike stall,
the administration of which Mr.. Olney
is member is opposed to an early ex-
ira session of Congress for the reduc-
ton of the tariff, for the openly avowed
reason that the members OF Congress
would "annoy" and Inconvenience"
the administration by their importuni-
ties for offices for their constituents.
