Well, nu the Inauguration day Pres-
ident Cleveland and President Har-
rison will both ride down to the Cap
itol in the same cgrriage. Harrison

on the LEFT coming back. This Gus
tom was inaugurated Icy President

going. President did not attend the
Inauguration ceremonies and the in-
gong President found the White

is the finest ever seen in Washington.
1t will be drawn by four jet black
horses. The harness will be- white
and each horse will be attended by
footman dressed in white livery.
President Harrison and Mrs.
Mckee gave an informal reception
TO the National Society of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion on Thursday. Mrs. Harrison
was the president of this organiza-
tion at the time of her death.
1t is surmiscd that il was the
Harrison-Clcvcland non-partisan
idea that prompted the North Da-
kota Republicans to send "a Demo
cratic. the United States Senate.
Elegant apartments have been
prepared foI the Presidential patty
at the Arlington Hotel. The Prcsi-
Dental board bill will be $i75 per
day. this not including the charge
for the extra sci vice which he has,
| the demand for accommodations in
the Presidents hotel Is SO great that
Mr.. Roessle, the proprietor, says he
is daily obliged to refuse applications
for rooms from persons who offer
from $50 day to whatever sum he
is pleased TO fix for any thing he
may be able to give them.
Secretary J. w. Foster retired
from the portfolio of the Secretary
of the State on February %, for the
purpose OF assuming the active
management of the case of the
United States before the Interna-
| tioual tribunal, which assembled IN
Paris, France, Friday, February "a,
to arbitrate the Behring Sea dis
pute between the United States and
Great Britain. He sailed Saturday
on the New American Line Steamer
New York, accompanied by his wife,
Senator Morgan, also one of the ar
oitrators, and several other promi-
nent persons.
code of rules Of the House of Rep
resentstives were again excmpliiied
Tuesday and Tuesday night at the
expense of more than hundred
members of that body. who sat from
il O'Clock of that morning till 0:30
O'Clock the following morning, vain
| ~ trying TO obtain action upon a
bill which is favored by at least four
fifths OF the House. The measure
in hand was the Car Coupler bill.
Before the House adjourned an un-
derstandlng was reached, agreea-
bic to which the Speaker on Mon
day will recognize motion TO sus-
pend the rules and concur in the
Senate amendments to the Car Coup
Ter bill.
After March 4, an interesting
question will come up in the Senate,
the solution which may be the loss
to Wyoming of a seat in the Senate.
The dispatches say that Gov. Os-
borne has appointed A. {. Beck
with to the vacancy, caused by the
failure Of the legislature at the re-
cent session TO elect Senator. This
appointment will probably cause q
most interesting contest over the
right Of the gentlemen holding the
credentials from the Governor to a
seat under them. The question at
issue will be the right of the Gov
ernor to appoint a Senator when the
vacancy is at the beginning of reg
ular term and when the legislature
with power to elect has been in ses-
sion and has adjourned without
electing Senator.
Many Democrats in Congress are
indignant over Chairman Harrity
issuing letter for the purpose Of
ascertaining the attitude of mem
bers of the new Congress on the sill
yer question. Many claim that il
is an attempt OF Cleveland and Ma
tional Committee to compel the
party to repeal the Sherman Act;
while others consider it a simple
desire to know how the members
stand on the question. 1t might be
observed that the most Of the latter
are Cleveland men, belong to the
East and have no peculiar love for
silver. There is open rebellion in
the Democratic ranks.
