WASHINGTON, March 6-By long custom the
inaugural ball has grown TO be almost as much
a part Of the ceremonies OF the Inauguration day
as the inaugural address. 1t is the inaugural
tribute by politicians TO society. There have
been but two intermlssions in the series OF In
augural balls to commemorate the accession OF
newly elected president since the days OF
Madison, that covers o period of eighty-four
years,
Whatever changes of administration may oc.
cur, IL seems likely that the pension building
will be the national ballroom OF the future.
Cleveland's first Inauguration and Harrisons
election were each attended by most successful
balls held within this building, but neither Of
them could compare in splendor to the ball
held there Saturday night Much OF the spec
tacular spendor was doubtless due to mod
ern developments in the use OF electricity, OF
which full advantage was taken. The scene
was fairy-like The scent of flowers, the COM
bined radiance of myriad electric globes, the
dainty blending of green and gold and white,
sparkling fountains OF tinted water, perfect
harmony OF musical Instruments and what was
TO many the most interesting feature Of all
toilets Of surprising magnihcence-all COM

1t Is not generally known, but 1t Is given
out SIS fact, that one of the most curious
and interesting formations of rock in the
world, Is to be seen q short distance east
of the stage road between Tuscon and Ora
Gle, and stands on knoll several feet ADORE
the surrounding sand hills.
When fret seen, we are told, the effect
Is startling and the mind has to get over
the shock before the peculiar object can be
comprehended- 1t Is most perfect repre-
sentation of q camel and lie formed of one
piece of granite. This curiosity Is of a CO.
lossal size, but perfectly proportional. 1t
Is about sixty feet high, and very white
and smooth. There are very few assures
on the surface and they, strangely, are In
the proper pl.ces to form features. The
only real projection from the surfscs Is ex-
sctly plscsd for an eyebrow. The two

The Hon. Jimmie Van Allen is all right,

The worshippers of President Cleveland
wept and prayed and besought their idol
not to let the Hon. Jimmie 60 to Rome.
But the idol was asleep or something and

Hon. James will go to London. he has
had some diplomatic experience, but 1t is
generally admitted that he can by no
means fill Mr.. Whites place. Mr.. White
has been first secretary to the American
embassy in London for the past ten
years, and has been exceedingly useful to
all bis chiefs. It is supposed that In 1884
he turned against the Republican party,
but when the Republicans again came in

to be fred out, so they cay, on account OF

President Cleveland as faithfully as the
African worships his fetish, evidently feels
that its idol hasn't paid proper attention
to Its prayers and Its sacrifices. Speaking
of Mr.. White and the Office he has adorned

for the pact ten years. We doubt If any
body has ever brought as much tact, in
dustry, patience and good temper to the
discharge Of its duties. He was invaluable
to Mr.. Lowell and Mr.. Phelps, and Mr.
Bayard is, We understand, very dssirous
of having him stay. To turn him out now
for new conner is as serious an offence
sgainst our diplomatic service abroad a'
could be committed. We can think of nc

equal to 1t.

AN INTERFERING COMPLAlN1

AN INTERESTING COMPLAINT.
Notwithstanding the fact that the TWEEN
ty-one railroads entering Chicago have
taken the great host of 1886, 900 into that
city during the six months just ended, some
psople are complaining because the rail-
roads haven't done more. And 1t is SOL
emnly announced that the Worlds fair ho-
tells and boarding houses will sue the rail-
road companies for damages. The plain
tiffs are the individuals and syndicates
whose money was invested In Worlds fair
hotel architecture, in equipping the insti-
tutions and in their management for the
last six months. They allege ia their
complaint that they have suffered losses
in business from inadequate patronage,
and that their loss of patronage was
caused by a failure of the railroad corpor-
ations to reduce passenger rates. General
John McNulta, lawyer at Bloomington.
who represents the hotels, says that the
railroad companies which opposed reduced
Worlds Fair rates are liable for Losses by
hotels and other places of entertainment
by reason of the customers being kept away
from Chicago by the high rates. He says
that the hotel and boarding house keepers
can collect by law from the roads ''the
difference between what their profits were
when there were low rates and what they
were when the rates were held up" Of
course he intimates that not only his i'm
mediate clients but all persons in Chicago
who made arrangements to take boarders
and that all the city hotels have the game
remedy.
This is an interesting freak, but 1t is not
probable that counsel for the railroad COM
panies are lying awake nights Matching up
a defense to this complaint. If they are
at loss for one the Chicago Herald will
help them out of their difficulty. 1t says:
"The railroads might put in an Offset.
They might say that high hotel rates pre-
vented persons from riding on the rail-
roads Then where would we bel General
McNuits will be puzzled In trying to ex-
plain to his hotel clients that they have a
good claim based on high railroad fares,
but that the railroads have no claim based
on high hotel rates." And the railroads
might also sue the city of Chicago for not
keeping the fair open another year.

If the wssteful methods of salmon fsh-
ing at present prevailing in Pacific waters
are continued It will not be long before
the catch of this royal fish will be greatly
reduced, if, indeed, the fishing is not rem
dered entirely unproductive. Such is the
decision reached by United States commits
sioner of fisheries Marshall Mcdonald,
after tour of the fishing grounds and an
investigation of the methods employed IN
the fisheries. Mr. Mcdonald suggests
changes In the fishing season and close
periods to protect the salmon In their
spawning runs. The matter is under con-
sideration, and common interest will
doubtless insure co operation between the
fishermen and the State and the national
commission to protect the salmon.
