Inauguration of Cleveland.

The work of committees having
charge of the ceremonies incident to
the Inauguration of President-elect
Cleveland is progressing satisfactorily.
Gen. Mcmahon and Col. Corbin, who
have supervision of the arrangements
of the parade, are daily receiving ap-
plications from military organizations
all over the United States for posi-
tons in the line. More than 100 or
CARNATIONS Gncluding Tammany)
have thus far reported a probable
strength of over II 900 men to form
in line on March 4. The governors
of the following named states have
notified the committee they will be in
line accompanied by members of their
stalls, and, in many instances, by in
dependent military companies: Della
ware, Pennsylvania New Jersey, Con-
necticut, Massachusetts, Maryland,
North Carolina, Ohio, Louisiana and
Wisconsin.
II is almost certain majority of
the governors of the remaining states
will be present, but as yet thev have
not notified the committee. Pennsvl-
vania, as usual, will send the largest
representation of any state. Its full
national guard of s 500 men will be
III line. New York will send its
crack rganizations-the Seventh and
the Sixty-ninth regiments prob
ably Company A, of the Fifteenth reg
iment, Brooklyn.
The following Independent organi-
cations have notified the committee to
reserve petitions in the line:
Georgia Hussars, Monumental City
Guards and Baltimore Rifles. Palmetto
Guards of Charleston, S. c.; Cleve-
land Troop and Alliance Guards,
Ohio; and the Forthwith Fencibles,
Texas. There is every probability
that the Inauguration of March 4,
1898, will surpass all its predecessors.

LEONARD LIPPMAN, President
Dun's Review.

X. q. Dun ~ Co.'s weekly review
of trade says: The anxious efforts
by banks for an issue of bonds by the
treasury and the refusal of the presi-
dent to authorize it, caused apprehen-
sion and depression during most of
the week. Discretionary power was
finally given to Secretary Foster to is
sue bonds if it should become abso-
lutely necessary, but it is stated he be-
lieves no necessity exists; moreover,
quite large purchase of securities on
foreign accounts are reported, which
would cancel the heavy adverse nier-
chandise balances, and to that extent
prevent gold shipments.
Outside of financial influences the
course of business is undisturbed.
The volume is still large, though
somewhat affected by the recent storms
and there are fewer signs than usual
of unsound or unhealthy conditions.
Though at many points collections are
somewhat slow, at most of the south
ern points business shows some i'm
provement and is fair for the season,
though the movement in cotton is
small and prices somewhat lower
In the iron trade no distinct i'm
proyement is seen, for while business
is large prices are entirely democrat
lied by intense competition. Bar iron
is quiet and weak. The financial out
look depends largely upon the fact
that the exports of the principal pro-
ducts in January were 1929, 1000, 900
smaller than last year, while imports
ut New Orleans alone were S17 200, O0O
larger than last years, which indi-
Gates considerable excess of imports
for the month, and explains the
heavy outgo of gold. In February,
thus far, exports from New York
have been but little below last years
though at cotton ports it is very much
smaller, and meanwhile imports show
the enormous increase of over 80 Der
cent.
The excess of imports over exports
seems to have more to do with the
shipments of gold at present than any
anxiety about currency, which, never
theless, renders investors extremely
cautious. But those who dread dis
aster may well note the healthy char
acter of trade and the unusual con-
servatism of buyers and remember the
rule that the panic that is expected
never comes.

Sent to the Pen for One Day.

Judge Chrisman at Jackson, Miss,
has passed novel sentence upon
young white boy in Circuit Court,
now in session at Raymond. The
boy, Joseph Holiday, is about II
years old, and was tried for arson.
He pleaded guilty, but the lawyers
and friends of the youth brought the
facts before the court in such light
that the judge saw fit to sentence him
to the penitentiary for only one day.
Sheriff Harding brought him Saturday
morning, and he was put in stripes,
and has been working out his sentence
all day. Three hundred citizens sent
up petition to the governor to par
don him, so that he would not lose
his citizenship, but under the new
code the governor was powerless to
grant pardon, the law requiring pc
tition to be printed for 80 days be-
fore pardon can be had. The boy
will have to appeal 70 the legislature
to restore his citizenship.

Big Batch of Bandits.

Brigadier- General Frank Wheaton,
commander of the military depart
ment at San Antonio, received tele-
gram Saturday from Capt. John G..
Bourke, of the Third cavalry, stating
that he had Just returned to Fort Ring
gold from detached service in the
field, and that he brought in with him
fifteen bandits, who were captured by
his troop in Starr county. In addi-
ton to the captured bandit prisoners
he brought in four others, who sur
rendered peaceably. This is the big
gest piece of work vet accomplished
by the United States troops on the
lower Rio Grande border, and Capt.
Bourke is highly commended for the
success of his scouting expedition by
the military authorities.

The Shell Mounds OF Florida.

A ships officer, who has spent much
time on the st. Johns River, Florida,
thinks that he has solved the problem as
to the origin of the shell mounds that
occur along that stream. The river
twists about in an extraordinary way, SO
that in many places the view along the
water extends for only few rods, but
he finds that a tall object or the smoke
Of tire shown from the top OF one OF
these mounds could be seen from those
next below and above, and he believes
that these emlnences we've Indian signal
stations, by means Of which the natives
were able to announce the approach Of a

Greeks signallcd the news Of the fall Of
Troy to their home cities BY lights on

Reports lately made concerning the
oyster fisheries of Louisiana lead to the
belief, says the Chicago Herald, that a
large share of this country's supply of
oysters will come from that quarter in
the future. 1t is reported that the beds
are of enormous proportions, possess
every natural advantage for the growth
Of the shellfsh, and in many cases are
hardly touched by the rake.

Among those who arrived on the
Australian Monowai at San Francisco,
were ex-American Consul A. Rick and
Mrs. Rick, from Butaritari, Gilbert
Islands. Mr.. Rick said he received a
letter from the State Department last
November ordering him to close his
office and return home, as the seizing
of the islands by England made his
further stay there unnecessary. Mr..
Rick shut up shop November 26th and
sailed for Sidney. He says the old
king made pathetic appeal 10 him to
interest the American government in
his behalf, as he claims his people pre-
fer an American to an English pro-
tectorato. He says American trade
will soon be ruined, as the British
traders are favored by their govern
ment and the feeling against Ameri-
cans is strong. The natives prefer to
deal with Americans. but they are
given to understand that it will not be
healthy for them to do this.

when it descended TO about six feet

than air, and therefore could be-

has won the most decisive victory re-
corded in Ohio since the Civil war. 1t
has been won on national Issues. 1t
would not have been a surprise two
weeks ago, but after the action of Con-
s~ress there seemed to have been re-
action. and the overwhelming vote is a
surprise. The Democrats did not allow
the contest to go by default, but made
a 4ucst vigorous fight with harmonious
working forces. Ex-Governor Camp
hell canvassed the state for Lawrence
= Neal all last week, and the Demo-
cratic committee was hopeful after
Congress- reached decisive action. The
weather was pleasant all over the
state. and there was q full vote of over
S00. 600. The decisive results Of former
