THE sHYLOCKS
Preparing for Business During tn,
Inauguration.
The Persons who Get n Cot for Ton Dol
lars Are Luolxy-Outrageous Practice
of Renting Government Property to
Spectators to View the Parade.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. During the
Inauguration the prices charged along
the line of march for window or seats
on the newly constructed stands will
be simply paralyzing, as are the prices
for rooms, board and accommodations
A room which ordinarily rented for fif
teen dollars month will be held at the
same price or double per day. 1t is per
haps not matter of complaint that the
| people should have n comfortable
seat in which to view the pa
rade, but that they should be com
PEELED TO pay ten dollars for seat
erected on the property of the gov
ernment is simply outrageous. The gov
ernment, through congress, authori1
ing the committee having charge of the
arrangements to sell the right to put
up the stands. This the committee die
for an average price of fifty cents G
seat Senator German states it cost
the persons who purchased the right tc
| put the seats about 81. 40 or 81. so a seat
| though this seems like large price
But the prices for the seats vary from
| S1.50 for the poorest seats to $40 for the
| best seats.
Mr.. German stated in the senate that
as high as $500 had been asked for the
rse of one small balcony for the day
| A correspondent who had called to in.
| quire as to the rent of room on sec
ond story facing on the avenue was tolo
| that the price was $500 for the day. Ar
! investigation showed that the prices OF
| windows ranged from S100 to $500, ac.
| cording to the room. AS to the prices
| for rooms in boarding-houses, Senator
| Vest remarked in the senate that he
sought to get accommodations in the
| city for an honest old democrat who
wanted to come here for the first time
to see a democrat inaugurated, and
that his secretary could not find any
kind of a room fit to live in in the city
for less than $50 for ten days.
1t seems outrageous that private spec
ulators should be given the privilege OF
erecting banks of seats on government
reservation all along the mile and a
half line of the procession and charge
the public from two to ten dollars a
head for single seats AS for the own
ers of private windows, balconies, ETC.,
it is their own business to rent them fol
what they can get.
Washington, with it's $4,000 or $4,000
government employees, large share OF
them maidens, widows, widowers and
bachelors-that is, people without fam.
| ilies-is good deal of big tenement,
lodging and boarding house
In many instances these people have
been notified that they must either give
up their rooms or pay from $40 to $50 a
day for the Inauguration time, which is
reckoned as Friday, Saturday and Sun
day. The person who applies at a
Washington hotel on the night OF
March for shelter will deem himself
lucky to get cot, for he won't get a
room unless he can stand S12 or SIG a
day for it, and he will have small
chances of getting it even at that rate.

ORANGEMEN TO MEET.
Posters Printed on Orange Paper
Concerning the Meeting
Stuck Up Everywhere Causes Great Deal
of Excitement-Home Rule is the
Keynote-The Feeling Is Intense
-There May BE BIoody Work.

BELFAST, Feb. 24-Since the issue OF
the Orange manifesto on the home rule
bill much activity prevails among the
members of that order aud extensive
preparations are being made for great
public demonstration of Orangcmen at
Ulster on Thursday evening next
Thursday posters printed on orange
paper, converting the meeting were
stuck up everywhere and have caused a
great deal of excitement These pla.
cards were worded thus:
Rise, sons OF William, rise. Lot as alike defy
Pope, traitor or prctender. Raise TO Heaven
the patriotic cry:
Derry Boy and no surrender"
The Orangemen comprise the bone
and sinew of the population here, and
from their ranks are drawn almost ex-
clusively the artizans and farmers of
the north, who are in full sympathy
with the movement In all the Protest
ant denominations there are already
indications of a great increase OF MEM
bership in view of the approaching cri-
sis. The feeling is even more intense
than that which preceded the dreadful
riots of some years ago when 200 were
killed and many more injured. A leading
Urangeman stated Thursday that there
would be bloody work and he would
not ask the brethren to abstain from it.
In the rural districts the population is
more deeply aroused than in 1885, as
they think there is greater danger OF
the home rule bill passing now than
then. The mayor of Belfast called a
public meeting of citizens to be held in
the market on Tuesday to protest
against the home rule bill, but apart
from this meeting great outside
demonstration is expected.

Death of Rufus Hatch.

New YORK, Feb. 24.-Rufus Hatch,
the once famous Wal street magnate,
died Thursday afternoon at his resi-
dence in Spuyten Duyvil, at o'clock.
Mr. Hatch was 62 years old. He re-
tired from ''the street" two years ago,
and had been failing in health ever
since. The immediate cause of death
was a complication of kidney, heart
and liver troubles, which had confined
him to his room for several weeks.

Topeka, Kan. Feb. 27.-The supreme

house, Populist Judge Allen dissenting.
This may settle completely the strug.

bloodshed was SO imminent last week,
to rest their rights to the control of the
house upon the decision of these habeas
corpus cases by the supreme court.
Gov Lewelling is populist, but has
often expressed his Willingness to let
the republicans rule if they could es.
tablish their position through the

THE DRAIN OF GOLD.
The Amount of Free Gold Now on Han
Little Below S4,OOO,OOO.

The Amount of Free Gold Now on Hand
n Little Below S4,OOO,OOO.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-To the great
relief of everyone watching the gold
figures of the government, word was
received Friday afternoon that the net
output would be but $3.50, 600 This
will reduce the amount of free gold on
hand 10 a little below 81, 900, 0U0 Week
after week it has been reported in
advance that from 10000 to $5,
0O0,0 600 would be exported, but each
Saturday has shown demand
far below these amounts AS stated
heretofore in these dispatches, there is
no uncertainty at Washington about
the course to be pursued should the oc-
casion arise for action, and the financial
events of the few days between now
and the 4th of March will be watched
with interest What will happen after
the 4th of March is of the greatest i'm
portance to the public. 1t is hoped
the drain on gold will cease, hut this can
not be predicted. Already customs re-
ceipts are showing falling off and the
embarrassment of the purchase of
bullion continues. The efforts of the
incoming administration to have these
matters attended to now have failed,
and some very novel developments may
be expected. 1t is comforting to know,
however, that in the policy which will
protect the credit of the nation, both
administrations will work on the same
lines

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator War
rem, of Wyoming, shortly after his ar

governor of the state had appointed a
democrat named Beckwith to be his
successor in the United States senate.
This appointment has settled, so far as
the governor is concerned, the right of
that official to make an appointment
after the legislature had failed to do its
duty in electing senator, but it is gen.
orally said in the capitol that the pre-
cedents have always been against the
