DuJ llG di-
liant colonel walked bravely on. He
turned neither TO the right nor to the
left until he was obliged to, because he
came to jumping off place. For half
hour he wandered through the halls,
and finally landed at that portion of
the basement where for forty wears
have been dumped the government pub
licatlons that the members considered
as not of enough value TO warrant frank
ing to their cOnSttunts. Here a guard
was found who directed the member
elect to the room OF the senate pensions
committee. Senator Davis was In, and
the gallant colonel rushed in to greet
him. The senator was involved in deep
thought. and, as he was not expecting
the st. Paul member, it took some time
to place him. 1t is a well-known fact
that it takes time for Senator Davis to
recognize some of his constituents.
Il am Col. Kiefer, of st. Paul." said
the colonel. Il came down day early
to inform myself on the methods of
doing business"
The senator smiled, and. after compli-
menting the colonel on his great good
Judgment, called Col. johnson, his sec
retarY, and started the congressman
elect towards the hall of the house,
where he was turned over to Congress
men Lind and Castle, who welcomed
him cordially and introduced him to
number of his future associates. 1t was
late i'll the day, but the ardor of the new
member was so great that had it not
been for Congressman Lind he would
have tried to get up the st. Paul public
building bill, which he says he came
down TO push through on the last day
of the session. Before he left the
capitol Col. Kiefer was introduced to
Tom" Reed, who, after he left, said:
"That man ought 10 be given q seat

and. incidentally, the preSident-elect.
Ii so happened that Just as the aSSO-
citation and the band came to halt. lit
tie Ruth Cleveland managed to pull up
the curtain of one of the windows in the
Cleveland apartments looking out on
the plaza, and presented her face
against the pane in an endeavOr to see
the band. The members of the Kings
County association and the crowd OF
fully thousand persons HhO had gath
cred about them saw the child and sent
up cheer. The leader of the band,
correctly Surmising that Mr.. and Mrs.
Cleveland had left their rooms and
were about to appear, Influenced in this
belief, perhaps, by the appearance of
an elegant eQuipage at the entrance
way. quickly changed the air to "laIl to
the Chief" and To the familiar rendition
the PreSident-elecU and Mrs. C,eve-
land came out of the doorway with
Private Secretary Thurber close at hand.
There was shutlling of feet and a cry
of There heiS.r and then mighty roar
went up from the throng. Mrs. CieVe-
land entered the carriage nrst ana tne
pIeSIdent-elect followed. The carriage
WhlSked away III an instant, the cnetrS
growing louder as it passed through the
crowd, and Mr.. Cleveland dotted his nat
in recognition or the demonstration.
Owing to the great number OF people
that blocked the more direct route 10
the White house, the carriage was driven
there by roundabout way. Mr. ana
Mrs. Cleveland were received by the
president and Mrs. Mckee, and these
four, with Robert Mckee, were the
only persons present at the dlnnet'
which was held in the private dining
room.
Mir. and Mrs. Cleveland returned to
their hotel from the dinner given IN
their honor by President harrison about
10 o'clock, and repaired at once to their
apartments. They were somewhat
fatigued from the rush and excitement
of the day, and were thereby com
PEELED to deny themselves for the re-
mainder of the evening to all
callers and retired soon after II O'Clock.
The other members of their party also
retired early. Mr.. and Mrs. BisSell and
party, of Buffalo. arrived at the
Arlington this evening. They called

an enjoyable half hour.

militia in uniform, gallant men and
handsome women in charming gowns
formed moving picture that was pleas
ant to look upon from distance, but
inc inyenient to encounter at close
range. Members and clerks were
at this stage of the proceedings
in more of hurry than ever
before. To visitor upon his
initial trip to the capitol the
scene presented was inspiring and spir-
tied. There was no tagging in either
chamber, as each house had all it could
do to keep pace with the hands of the
clocks, which were moving all too rap
idly toward the hour when by cOnsti-
tutiOnal Limitation this congress shall
expire. There was as much hustle OH
the floor as in the corridors, but it was
the hustle and confusion attending
legislation that was being railroaded
through both branches. Appropriation
bills, conference reports, committee re-
ports, heated but brief opposition to the
concessions made by cOnferrees, all
made the proceedings of unusual inter
est TO the visitors.

HARRIsoN's LAST DAY.
1t Was an Unusually Busy and
Fatiguing One.

Al ~ rs
Fatiguing One.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The last day
of the outgoing executive is always
busy and fatigulng one, and President
HarrisOn'S experience today but served
to emphasize the truth of the statement
At an earlier hour than usual the presi-
dent was at his desk going over the
bills ready for his examination and APP
proval. He was subjected, however, to
constant interruptions until late hour
in the afternoon. and that he was able
to make any progress at all in his work
proved his unusual powers of applica-
ton. Before the hour OF opening the
house TO the public tine president re-
ceived a number of callers, chiefly SEN
atOrS and representatives who were
interested in the measures on his desk
awaiting his signature. A few OF them,
however, merely came to say goodbye.
Indiana people. who are in Office to the
number of half a dozen or so, cal ed to
bid the president farewell, and this was
one of the hardest experiences OF the
Gay.
After the exchange of calls with Mr..
Cleveland, as elsewhere recorded, and
his brief but touching leave-taking of
his cabinet. the president received the
members Of the diplomatic corps, who
called in body to say farewell. Nearly
every member of the corps was present.
In the intervals between these semi
public functions the president was
called upon to furnish his autograph to
numerous seekers. In the corridor out
side waited a woman interested in be-
half of an unfortunate prisoner whose
application for pardon was pending.
The president was compelled to Inform
her that the case not being a capital one
with a sentence to be executed before
II o'clock tomorrow he could not pos
Siblv-find time 10 consider it. After
lunch the crowd thinned out, and
the president was left to himself.
At o'clock he bade adieu to Maj. Hal
ford, vino then left the house to take
the train for New York. This was quite
a trial to both or them. Neither is much
given to manifesting any emotion, but
they are possessed Of sentimental nat
ureS, which were stirred to their depths
by the severance of relations which had
existed many years, and which during
the past four years had been sointimate.
The little folks, Benjamin and Mary
Mckee. made the rounds of the house
before the hour Of closing, saying good
by to the clerks and employees. In the aft
ernoOn President Harrison received and
accepted the designations of Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Gear and
Solicitor of the Treasury Hepburn.
These officials are members-elect Of the
Fifty-thiTd congress. and had to sever
their relations with the department to-
day.
The hour for the departure of Mr..
Harrison and his family for lndianapo-
lis, tomorrow afternoon, depends en-
tlrely upon the time they return from
the Inauguration ceremonies. 1t is also
possible that they Will return first to
the White house with Mr.. ana Mrs.
Cleveland and take luncheon with
them.

Last Salary Check.

President Harrison Receives His
Last Salary Check.
WASHINGTON, March ga few days
ago President Harrison received his last
months pay in the shape of a draft for
81, 1867, issued on warrant to the
treasurer, signed, as usual, by the sec
retary of the treasury and sent over to
the White house by a messenger. To-
day he received another draft for $4l6.65,
issued by the treasury department in
the same Way, representing his pay for
service as president of the United
states for the first three days
OF March and closing Ills
account with the government. Notwith-
standing the fact that he will be presi-
dent up to noon of the 4th of March,
Gen. Harrison will receive no pay what
ever for his services on that day, for the
reason that the federal accounting Of
ficerS do not recognize divisions of day
in the settlement OF accounts of salaries.
Each Incumbent of the Office of presi-
dent is paid the salary of that office be-
ginning with the day Of his Inaugural
tion, so that he gains in the beginning
of his term what he loses in the end.
According to the treasury computation
the presidential salary OF $50, COO a year
is at the rate of Sl33.8S day.

ATTRACT ATTENTION.
Visiting Governors the Observed
of Observers,


WASHINGTON, March 3.-About noon
the rain ceased and the sun made its
appearance. Tammahy Hall was the
most conspicuous and numerous organi-
Zation on the avenue. The visiting
governors were the objects of much at
tention. Gov. Peck, of Wisconsin, and
staff arrived this morning, and the gov
ernOr was prominent in the lobby of the
Ebbitt and received much attention.
Gen. Bragg, of Wisconsin, who loved
cleveland for the enemies he made,"
was also at the hotel, and was kept
busy receiving friends. The biggest of
all big political chieftans. Richard
Croker, sat in his apartments at the Ar
lington chatting pleasantly.
"Tammany Hall is abused by some
people," said Mr.. Croker, "who affect
to decry machine politics. Well, every
instrument Of society, every organiZa-
ton, every school, every bank must be
like well equipped army to run
smoothly and successfully. A family is
not happy or prosperous if its machine
operation. so to speak, is not perfect.
Tammany, however, does not care for
such criticism. 1t knows what it has
done in the past and what it is capable
of doing hereafter. 1t did its part, as 1t
always does. in securing a grand ma
tional victory for the Democracy. 1t is
loyal to Mr.. Cleveland, and will be
found supporting his administration
from the day he takes the oath of Office
up to the last hour of his stay in the
White house.
Gov. Foster, of Louisiana. with an
escort of twenty members of the Jeffer-
son club. arrived this morning and took
up his headquarters at the Richmond.
Richard j. Olney, the new attorney
general, accompanied by number of

exporting gold if you will. To decrease

lature is i'll the last hours of its exist
ence. and an all-night session will prob
ABLY be held, and even then great
many bills will die, as is usually the
case. The present has been an average
legislature. 1t has transacted a large
amount of business, and is doubtless
entitled to more credit for what it has
not done than for what it has. 1t has
enacted 10 laws that will tend to keep
capital out of the state; it has made
some wholesome laws and placed some
safeguards around the people; it has
provided for creditable exhibit at the
worlds fair, and provided literally for
public institutions. Today the senate
passed the house bill for the erection of
a twine factory at the state pen
itentiary for the employment Of
convict labor; 1t also passed an artesian
we'll bill, and others OF less Importance,

dsinterested crowd which witnessed
the cheap fight of Kinds and Nc
MILAN, the members of the Olympic
club were in any thingbut good spirits
until reassured by the prospect of big
crowd to witness the Australian and
the Denver boy battle each other. The
handsome club house was ablaZe with
dazzling lights, crowded carriages filled
the streets surrounding the grounds,
and the reception committee vas taxed
to its utmost in the entertainment of
the clubs guests hours before the time
for the fight.
Goddard, strong as lion, reached the
city from his training quarters at Biloxi
early in the morning. A number of his
friends and
A Small Crowd of
curiosity seekers assembled in the depot
to greet the big Australian, but Joe
seemed anxious to avoid any notoriety,
and escaped the crowd through the
strategy of Billy Madden. Entering a
closed carriage, the two were hurriedly
driven to a small hotel scarcely
block from the club house. He re-
manned In bed till O'Clock,
resting himself, when he put in
an appearance at the club and was at
once ushered into the dressing room set
apart for him. He looked big and
strong. with not an ounce of superflu-
Gus flesh on his body, showing that he
had trained faithfully and well. His
muscles were like bars of iron, on
which the veins stood out like whip
cords, His legs were strong aud
sturdy, and he carried himself with a
confident, determined air, which, had
Smith seen before he entered the arena,
might have deferred hi m from engaging
in the fight. Goddard had slight cold,
which appeared bothersome, but he
laughingly remarked:
''The cold will leave me In few min
utes. when warm up to that Denver
boy"
Smith Was Nervous.
Smith arrived in the city from Scran-
ton yesterday, where he has been
training, and was quartered in Smiths,
