REFRESHMENTS SERVED.
The Distinguished Guests Take Lunch in ths
Administration Building. ..

CHicAGo. May AFTER the opening o
the fair by President Cleveland the distin
euished guests were taken to lunch in the
third floor of the Administration building
Here covers had been laid for 20 people
The party sat at round table, the Presi
dent having Mrs. Palmer at his right and
the Duchess of Veragua at his left.
The luncheon, which was simple one
was served by A walters, one for each
state. The table was set with specially i'm
ported china and cut glass and silver ser.
vice designed for the occasion.
There were no toasts and the luncheon
occupied little more than an hour. No
wine except champagne was served and
cigars, owing to presence of ladies, were
dispensed with.
At the conclusion of the luncheon Presi-
dent Cleveland was escorted 10 the foreign
section of Manufacturers hall, where he
received the commissioners from foreign
countries. Afterwards he was driven over
to the Women's building and witnessed a
portion of the exercises incident to its for
NAL dedication. From here he was driven
directly back to the terminal station on the
Worlds Fair grounds.

CmicAGo, May l.--Before leaving the
Worlds Fair grounds, President Clevel land,
accompanied by Secretary Gresham. drove
to the Irish village, on Mid PlAisance.
Here he WAS entertained by the Countess
of Aberdeen, assisted by Lady Arnot and
her daughter, Clara ArnOt.
After he made n grand tour of the Expo
sjtion, Mr.. Cleveland was thoroughly tired
ont, and the rest of the time until the ppc-
cial train started for Washington was spent
in his car, chatting with friends and visi-
tors.
Meanwhile the public was having the full
run Of the grounds forthe first time and was
enjoying itself thoroughly. itwAs cloudy all
the afternoon, but no rain fell, and the crowd
did not mind the mud. From noon til the
last gate was closed the broad avenues were
alive with throngs, moving from one to
another Of the big buildings, sweeping
through the Midway Plaisance In an un-
broken current.
The grounds tonight are brilliantly H.
Illuminated. Every one saw all the sights
possible and at last, when the hour for de-
parture had arrived, went away with the
resolution to come again tomorrow.
1t was 10 tonight when the Columbian
guards chased the last stragglcr from the
Worlds Fair grounds. About 20 persons
were taken out Of the crowd today In .
fainting condition. No one was seriously
hurt.
Director of Works Burnham declares
that 44000 people passed the turnstiles
today, number far in excessof the most
sapguine expectations.
The Missouri and Iowa state buildings
were formally dedicated this afternoon.
President Cleveland's train left at 5.IS
T. M, amid the shouts of the crowd at the
station.
When the Presidential and ducal parties
today visited the building devoted to Manu-
factures and Liberal Arts thousands Of peo-
pie forced their way past the guards into
the building.
The President, duke and other prominent
men, while at the grounds made the round
of the lagoons in electric launches. The
banks Of the lagoons and every bridge was
packed with people, cheering all along the
line.
Afterwards ut the entrance Of one build
ing the President shook hands with many
in the crowd who pressed upon him, saying
to each one az am glad TO meet you"

GOLD GETTING SCARCE.
The United States Treasury Practi-
cally Empty.

Inc Unlteu states treasury PraCti-
cally Empty.
New YORK, Feb. S.-A local paper In
the morning will say that the United
States Treasury is practically empty of
gold, and the New York banks will be
obliged to come to the relief of the
Government. That there is a serious
situation the Secretary of the Treasury
and financiers of the country admits.
The drain of American gold coin in
Europe las at last exhausted it. The re-
sources of the government and pri-
vate stores in vaults have been drawn
upon to tide over the emergency.
The secret has been well kept,
but of the S3,500.000 in American gold that
was shipped to Europe last Saturday
S2,000,000 was loaned the Sub Treasury by
banks of this city. The entire supply of
gold in the vaults of the United States
Treasury to-day was reduced to Sl0S, 49,
93S. OF this, only IS, l76, ,93S is free gold. The
remainder, Sl00,000,0O0, must be by law
held by the Treasury for the redemption
of like amount of legal tender notes
which have been issued against it.
Nor has the drain of gold stopped. Ar
rangements were made by foreign
bankers to-day for shipments of s., ,OO0,-
900 gold next Saturday. Other ship
ments will probably be heard from to-
morrow, and it is the impression in Wall
street to-day that this weeks exports will
reach $5,000,000. This would leave only a
little over S3,0O0,O0O free gold in the treas
ury, probably hardly sufficient for a
single weeks supply. Since Monday the
actual short sterling rates of exchange
have gone up from 81 S74 to 81 SS, less
commission.
George C. Williams, President of the
New York Clearing House Association,
and also President of the Chemical Ma
tional Bank, spent a great deal of time
yesterday arranging for further loan of
gold to the Treasury Department. lie
went to several banks and appealed that
for public good they should join in con-
tributing of their gold reserves enough to
keep up the supply of free gold in the
Treasury to meet all demands until steps
can be taken otherwise to meet the
emergency.
1t is understood the appeals were sue
cessful in all instances. Four banks ad-
vanced S2,O00.00O of gold last Friday to
meet the demands for Saturdays exports.

ANA@N'ANA-
WASHINGTON, Feb. Sunless all indi-
cations fail, there will be some very in
terestlng debates and sharp maneuver-
ing ON the floor Of the House when the
pension appropriations bill is taken up
for consideration. There is a radical
change in the pension policy. The pro-
posed change will be backed up by ma
jority of the Committee on ApproDria-
tons, and will be fought tooth and nail
by the Republican minority, assisted by
Representative Holman, Chairman of the
committee.
The proposed change in the pension
policy has in view a considerable reduc-
duction in the pension rolls and of the
enormous amount now paid out for pen
slons, by purging the lists of the names
OF some Of those now on it, and by max
ing more difficult the procurement in
some cases of pensions under the laws.
1t is proposed to change the laws in some
respects, and new policy is to be in
augurated, as far as the administration of
the law is concerned, by turning over the
whole Pension Bureau to the War Depart
ment. These changes, with some moditi-
cations, are the same as originally pro-
posed by the subcommittee which
framed the pension appropriation bill,
but which in full committee Were stricken
out by majority of one vote. The COM
mittee has now, by narrow majority,
reconsidered the action of the committee.
AT meeting this morning the fight for
the new pension policy was renewed by
ONeill of Massachusetts and others. BY
yea and nay vote the committee decided
to report the necessary amendments TO be
offered to the pension bill when it comes

PARIS, Feb. S.-Bourgeois, the Minister
of Justice, has given authority for the
Commission of Inquiry of the Chamber
of Deputies to receive from the Chamber
OF indictments the record of evidence
showing the grounds on which the Cham
Der of Indictments arrived at decisions in
the cases of Deputies and ex-Deputies ac-
cused of accepting bribes from the
Panama Canal Company. The commis-
sion, after receiving the evidence, will
to-day consider the question whether any
further action is necessary on the part of
the Chamber in regard to those of its
members who have been relieved of
criminal accusation by the Chamber of
Indictments.
The newspapers generally express dis
content with the action of the Cham per
on the ground that, although all the
charges were substantially the same and
apparently based on substantially identi-
cal evidence, yet no reasons are given for
the difference in the decisions arrived at
in regard to the persons accused. The
opposition press protests strongly against
the acquittal of Rouvier, and suggests it
is due to state reasons, that the authorities
are afraid to put him on trial for fear that
he would reveal secrets that would
weaken the Government in public esti-
nation.
Andrieux, in an interview in the
Figaro, says the decisions are a mystery
to him, and if those who have been ac-
Quilted by the Chamber of Indictments
do not prosecute him and compel him to
verify his charges, he will endeavor to
bring the matter to head himself in the
public tribunals. He is prepared, he
says, to make common cause with any of
the Panama shareholders to bring actions
against those alleged to have received
Panama money illegally, with the view
to recovering the amount of their depos-
its and exacting damages beside.
An hour before the Chamber of Depu-
ties met the report was abroad that Emil
Goussol, Boulangist Deputy for the Seine,
would interpellate the Government as to
the acquittal by the Chamber of the in
dictments of Deputy Rouvier and Senator
Deves Greves Rebault. AS the time for
the opening proceedings approached the
members hurried to their seats, and
crowds of strangers packed the public
galleries to suffocation.
Both on the floors and in the galleries
there was an incessant uproar. Hardly a
word was heard on the rear seats, and few
had definite idea of what was happen
ing until Goussol asked permission to
submit the Interpolation expected. He
directed the attack principally against NJ.
Rouvier.
NJ. Bourgeois, Minister of Justice, re-
piled, with a severity which evoked re-
newed disturbance in tho galleries and
on the floor, that it was an insult to the
Government to accuse it of yielding to
threats and hindering the exposure OF the
Panama Company's affairs.

ant water in addition to the San Luis Rey
River, and propose to pipe the mesas and
tlume the valleys. Gordon will send

pot is developing a ranch at Riverside

SILVER QUESTION.

House Bill to Amend the Sherman
Act.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The House
Banking Committee to-day directed
Chairman Bacon to report favorably a
bill to amend the Sherman silver law so
as to put coin notes issued undSf it on the
same footing as greenbacks in bank and
clearing house settlements. 1t provides
for the exchange of these notes for GER
tificates, which banks may count as part
of their legal reserves. The proposed
change will make no difference except to
the banks. The committee decided that
the time tomorrow and Friday should
be equally divided between silver and
anti-silver men, Mr.. Bacon to control the
time on one side, and Messrs. Cox of
Tennessee and Townsend of Colorado on
the other side.
The report of the Committee on Rules
on the silver question will come up in
the House tomorrow. This afternoon
the advocates of the repeal of tue Sher-
man Act were in conference. Their
hopes of securing a cloture has grown
less as the time for taking the vote ap.
proaches. A majority of the Democrats
are against it, and an effort to secure sup
port from Republicans appears to have
failed. The Western leaders have a list
of between thirty and forty Republicans
who they say will oppose the taking up
of the silver question at this time. Unless
there should unexpectedly be change
in the present situation of the cloture,
it will be necessary after that proposition
is defeated to decide on a course to be
pursued. The anti-silver men will then
change their tactics and vote for the
adoption of the Rules Committees re-
port, while the free coinage men win vote
against even consideration of silver at
this time.
