LAKEWOOD, N. j., Jan. 25.-President-
elect Cleveland and ex-Secretary Bayard
sat up until late hour last night, and
resumed their consultation this morning
Ex-Secretary Whitney was expected TO
arrive this morning. but up to noon had
not put in an appearance. 1t is believed
here that Mr.. Harrity Is positively booked
for the Postmaster-Genera He is
expected to visit Mr. Cleveland here to-
day.
Mr.. f. c. Wall of Wisconsin, will, 1t
is said. be rendered the Secretaryship Of
the Interior. National Committeeman u.
b. Smaley, of Vermont, is at the Cleve-
land cottage this morning.
The most prominent arrival at the Cleve-
land cottage to-day was Colonel Dan
Lamont. He came here from New York
by the first train. and was met by Mr..
Cleveland. who had driven TO the station
In his private carriage. The President
elect took Mr.. Lamont directly TO the
Cleveland cottage. where they were join
ed by ex-Secretary Bayard a long con-
ference followed in Mr.. Cleveland's pri-
vate study and, at o'clock Mr.. Cleve-
land conducted his ex-Secretary to the
station, where he boarded the train for
the city.
From knowing ones II is learned that
Colonel Lamonts journey here was TO
use his influence in pursuadng Mr..
Bayard TO accept the portfolio offered
him by Mr.. Cleveland Mr.. Bayard had
been rather undecided about accepting.
Knowing the influence that the late sec
retary had in winning Mr.. Bayard over.
Mr. Cleveland sent for Lamont. 1t is
said that Lamont's visit was successful.
Colonel Lamont refused to talk TO
reporter. and remained in Mr. Clevelands $
carriage at the station until the train
arrived. Among the other callers were
William H. Griffin and John NJ. Taylor,
who were part of the electoral committee
that came from Tennessee to cast the
vov for Mr.. Cleveland. 1t is certain
tat nothing further has been done in
regard TO filling the vacancies in the
Cabinet This will be left until Mr.. whit
ney and Mr.. Carlisle can be consulted.

morrow morning. and will return here IN

IT WAS WARMLY WELCOMED.
Glad Tidings From the Weather Msn-The
Snow Ballists.

The bright, balmy weather which the
people OF Richmond have been craving
for the past thirty days reached here
yesterday.
Old Sol had on his full-dress suit, and
he never looked better. He was as well
come visitor as any of the guests at the
big Democratic banquet last night. and
though he spoke not a word. his eloquence
was as fluent as that OF Colonel w. c.
p. Breckenridge around the festive board
at the Temple.
The warm rays OF the sun furnished
both comfort and service. The unsightly
mixture OF mud and snow was making
itself scarce yesterday. A few more such
days will give the streets something like
a decent appearance. On the pavements
and roofings the snow which we all hailed
with delight is going almost as fast as 1t
came.
Some one has written: Parting is
such sweet SORROW" Perhaps SO; but
there's precious little sorrow In this sepa-
ration. Down the hills in various por-
tions OF the city were running brooklets
during the day. and the banks OF snow
on either side Of the streets were shrink
ing as noticeably as the first reports Of
shooting scrape.
At noon Yesterday the mercury regis

the freezing point, and later on the
weather overhead was very much like a
model spring day.
The ice In the river Is breaking up by
degrees. The channels are growing no
ticeably broader and pools OF water can
be seen on the surface in many places.
The thaw has been gradual so far, and,
though the water is growing muddy there
seems TO be for the present little danger
of freshet.
II will be several days before the boats
can resume operations. The ice was sew
efal inches thick in many places, and it
will require nearly week of warm
weather to melt IL sufficiently for the
boats TO come through.
The festive snow-ballist was having
glorious time yesterday. The snow had
melted to a soft. cinging consistency,
and the small boy was the immediate
influence in depriving the coal-cart
drivers Of much religion.
on the corner OF Third and Franklin
streets the youngster had taken COM
plete possession, and he made things

was equal to the emergency. He ambed

BARBoUx CREATES A SENSATION.
He Says the Panama Ofiicials Adopted the
Plan of the Chamber of Deputies.


PARIS. Jan. 25.--When NJ. Barboux
resumed his argument to-day In behalf
Of the accused Panama directors the
courtroom was already as thronged as
the rules for admission would permit.
Several distinguished members Of the
Paris bar were present. while official
and other interests were prominently rep
resented
NJ Barbour applied his eloquence 10
proving that the Panama directors could
not be accused Of swindling In the issue
OF lottery bonds they had simply
adopted the same position openly adopted
by the Chamber OF Deputies. This asstr-
tion caused a profound sensation among
the audience. Prior TO the action on the
part of the directors the Chamber Of
Deputies. M. Barboux said, had author
ized the lottery bonds. II was argued at
the time in the Chamber that the COM
pany was already ruined, bu. the Cham
Der voted, Notwithstanding this declara-
ton, to authorize the issue. and thus gave
confidence to the public to subscribe for
bonds which the Legislature. after full
discussion of the subject. had approved.
The directors therefore. could not be
accused of swindling In having issued
these bonds with the approval and con-
sent of the Chamber
NJ. Barbour contended that both Fer
uc htSStpS NHdfltS uc Les
seps were perfectly justified In doing
their utmost to maintain public confidence
in the Panama canal scheme In the hope
Of averting menacing dangers. There
fore, lectures delivered In the provinces
in aid OF the scheme were legitimate. IL
Ferdinand de Lesseps erred. 1t was as an
excessive optimist, but" exclaimed NJ
Barbour, the world belongs 70 opn-
mists." at was true" continued Bar
boux, that Ferdinand and Charles de
Lesseps might have been deceived by
| events. but such an error could not be
| regarded as culpahe" Mr.. Barhoux took
I'D the question Of agreements between
| the Panama canal board Of directors and
the contractors for the work on the
canal. He pointed out the fact that the
agreements and indemnities had the unan-
| imous approval Of the board. and he
maintained that the contracts were solely
| in the interests Of the undertaking. II Is
| expected that NJ. Barboux Will conclude
| his address tomorrow.

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY MEN
KILLED IN THE EXPLOSION
OF the Fire Damp In the Fortscritt Mine

rending Scenes.

VIENNA, Jan. 25.-All hope OF rescuins
alive the men entombed by the explosion
of the fire damp In the Fortscritt Mine
at Dux. Bohemia, has been aban-
doned. An investigation OF the employees
reveals the fact that one hundred ana
thirty men lost their lives In the disaster.
as It is generally conceded those who
were not killed by the explosion must
have been suffocated by the after damp.
The mine is being cleared OF the wreck
age, rs rapidly as possible. but the
work is necessarily slow. Eevery effort
is being made to recover the bodies OF
the dead.
Many heart-rending scenes were wit

every man is dead. No explanation has
been made as to how the explosion oo-

mission TO the full committee have made
a vigorous onslaught on the dependent
ana disability pension act passed by the

Changes made: That no widow shall re-
oeive pension under the act Of 1899 un-
Il IS married TO the soldier prior to 1870;
that no person shall receive a pension
under the act Of 1890 unless disabled in

less he was actually disabled in the SER
vice. Another amendment provides for
the appointment Of n commission 10 con-
sider necess airy notifications in the pen
sion laws and to report at the next Com
gress.
Most OF these amendments were offered
by Mr.. ONeill, Of Massachusetts. who
stated that they were framed so as not
