The announcement over the double Christmas

its effects were minimized by the support from

average range of declines was not HIGH The

great depression in credit and shows how futile
DIS Dull factor is the vast accumulation of idle
money III the banks. Many observers ascrlbe
the mistortunes of the AtchiSon largely to the
reduction OF rates enforced by the interstate
commerce law and hostile LEGISLATION at the

on other great railway systems and intensity the

THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

Members of Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet
sworn in-The Oath Administered
in an Impressive Manner by Judge
Field.
WASHINGTON, March THE ceremony
of swearing In the new cabinet, which
took place at the Office of the secretary of
state this morning, was very impressive.
Judge Field, who administered the oaths,
seemed more than ususlly impressed with
the solemnity of his duty. and gave the
most feeling emphasis and infection to
every sentence. The members of the cabi-
net were sworn separately, beginning with
Mr.. Carlisle, as Judge Gresham took his
oath yesterday. All except Messrs. Car
Isle and Olney kissed the Bible after as
senting to the cath. Mr.. Morton differed
from the others, who had simply rested
their right hands on the book, by using his
left hand for this purpose and raising his
right, as Is done In ceremonies where no
Bible is used. The volume on which he
was sworn was not that in general use at
the department, but tasteful little pocket
Bible bound in plisble morocco covers and
edged with gilt. It was provided by him
self and is to be presented to member of
his family as souvenir. As fast as each
secretary was released from the formal
ceremonial he was given his written oath
to sign.
About twenty persons, friends of the
new cabinet officers and members of the
press, were spectators of the scene, among
them Richard Watson Glider and Repre-
sentatives Bynum of Indiana and Tracy of
New York No member of the outnoinp
administration was present.
This is the first time that such q scene
WAS ever enacted here. 1t is customary to
have the new cabinet sworn separately at
their respe stive Offices by some qualified
member of the official staff. tits probable
that to days precedent will be followed
hereafter.

DEMOCRATS I'm CAUCUS.
They Discussed Several Matters but
Reached No Definite Decision.

They Discussed Several Matters but
Reached No Definite Decision.
WASHINGTON, March THE democratic
caucus which met in the senate chamber
at 10. a. m. to-day was well attended.
Senators Kyle and PETER, the old popu-
lists, and Mr.. Allen, the new populist,
elected by Nebraska, were not invited to
attend the caucus. Mr.. Martin of Kansas,
although elected by fusion votes, is con-
sidered democrat and as such was in
vited to attend, and be was present. Mr..
Allen, 1t is understood, will vote with the
democrats when Ii comes to the organiza-
ton.
The caucus reelected Mr.. German chair
man and Mr.. Faulkner secretary. The
session lasted four hours, the only actual
business transacted being to authorize the
chairman to appoint committee to devise
q plan for reorganization and report to the
caucus upon the call of the chairman.
Much of the time was consumed
in q discussion bearing upon the
standing of the senators who have been
appointed by governors, the cases in point
being Senator Beckwith, appointed by the
governor of Wyoming, and Senator Mantle,
appointed by the governor of Montana.
Speeches were made by Senators Voorhees,,
Villas, Daniel and others. A special oppo-
sition against ssating these men was mani
tested, and in support of this view q num-
Der of old decisions in senate contested
elections were quoted. The claim was
made that as the legislatures of these
states had not exercised the prerog-
alive belonging to them the governor
had no authority to fill the places and the
states should remain unrepresented. A
precedent for such action was cited from
an early California case.
1t was finally decided, however, that
these matters and the case of Mr.. Martin
| should be referred to the committee on
privileges and elections. It Ia understood
| that there WAS quite a contest for leading
| chairmanships and q disposition to set
aside the traditions which give the ranking
members of the minority these places when
they come into the majority.
After the caucus the democratic steering
committee, consisting of Senators German,
Brioe, Cockrell, Ransom and Harris were
in conference for more than three hours.
When the conference closed Mr.. German
announced the following committee
Blackburn, Ransom, Cockrell. Harris
Bryce, White of Louisiana, and German
The committee will probably begin to
morrow morning.

Minister Lincoln Proposed Toast to
the American Flag ON tho New York
Mt q Lunch.
LONDON, March THE lunch on board
the steamship New York of the American
line to-day was magnificent s1air. The
number of guests was $50 and included

from London to Southampton, where they
were escorted on board the New York at
the Empress dock. The city of Southamp-
ton and the ships in the harbor were pro-
fussly decorated With flags In honor of the
occasion. Chairman Taylor toasted Presi-
dent Cleveland and the health of the pres
ident was drunk standing while the organ
played "The Star Spsngled Banner"
Minister Lincoln said that he believed
Southampton to be one Of the chief ports
In Great Britain for American trade. He
referred to the close relations between the
two countries, and deprecated free trade
owing to the difference between the coun-
tries. eff I were an Engliehman," said
Minister Lincoln, 81 would be proud of the
commercial supremacy of my country; but
as an American congratulate America ON
the immenee success 1t has reached within
hardly more than q century. The sight of
ones flag In q foreign port is thrilling. It
is grand to see the fag borne abroad by
the Queen of the Seas"
Minister Lincoln then offered toast to
the American flag, which was drunk with
especially by the Americans.
Elk Secretary of State Foster spoke in
terms about the American
line and also commented on British energy
and enterprise. The finest things in Amer
lcs, be said, were owned by men of Eng
ish origin and the British race was splen- |
Idly represented there.
Sir Charles Upper declared that any
hing which brought the two countries to- |
sether served to advance civilization and |
1e rejoiced thereat.
The mayor of Southampton, the chair. |
nan of the southwestern railway and 9TH |
rs, followed him with timely remarks,
md the occasion cloeed with cheers for the |
Jew American line.
