THE PRESIDENTS RETURN.
He and Mrs. Cleveland VIII BE Back
This Week.

The President and Mrs. Cleveland and
the babies will all be back in the White
House again this week, but what day the
reunion will occur is "one of those things
that no fellow can find out" When the
President left here Saturday, the 18th in
slant, 1t was announced that he would not
be away more than a week or ten days.
The ten days limit will expire tomorrow,
but there is no certainty that he will reach
here SO. early In the week. Private Secre-
tary Thurber is quoted as having said ne
did not expect the President back before
Thursday or Friday. The latest reports
from the presidential party, however, in
dictate an earlier return than that and also
that the return trip will be made by rail
instead of by water. There are other
reasons for the belief that at least one or
two members of the party Will return to
Washington tomorrow.
1t is known, for one thing, that Secre-
tary Gresham left word at the State De-
partment that he would be back Tuesday
tomorrow.
Private Secretary Thurber received a
comm urication from the President Satur-
day dire citing him to send TO the Senate
several nominations that had been agreed
upon before his departure, but which were
temporarily withheld. 1t is understood
that the President made no definite state
ment as to when he would be back.
Mrs. Cleveland ana tne cnllureH, VINO
have been visiting Mrs. Perrine at Buffalo
for several days past are expected at the
White House about the middle of the week,
and il will not be at all surprising if the
President joins them there on the very day
of their arrival The mansion has been put
in readiness for their return at any time.
The secret service men who have been
missed from their watching places at the
White House ever since the Presidents de-
parture resumed their accustomed stations
about the grounds this morning. Some
people assume that this means that the
President may return tonight or tomorrow
irstead of later in the week.
The Presidents yacht Dolphin arrived at
the Washington navy yard this morning
from trip to the Norfolk navy yard, where
she was cleaned, painted and put In COM
plete readiness for any service that may be
required of her. Her overhauling included
the scraping and painting of her bottom,
and she is now in prime condition for a
cruise. These preparations, and her unex-
pected return TO this city, have given rise
to a rumor that she is to be used shortly in
conveying the President and family TO
their summer home at Gray Gables. The
Presidents recent experiences on the light
house tenders Maple and Violet, It is said
have removed his former conscientious
scruples against the use of government ves-
sells for purposes of pleasure and recrsa-
ton, and have led him to consider favor
ably, so it is said, a proposition for short
cruise on the Dolphin.

PLEASE see that extraordinary precau-
tions are taken in the way of watching and
care of the Aqueduct bridge, even to putting
on Waterman at each end of the bridge.
Every team should be driven slowly, and
not more than one at a time should be al
lowed on the two spans resting on pier No.
4. The pier should be examined every day
and report made of any change in it."
These instructions were carried out at
once, and watchmen placed on the bridge.
together with danger flags. Loaded teams
are walked slowly over the bridge and every
precaution is being taken to prevent a
spreading of the pier. 1t will be recalled
that during January last the first crack COM
menced to spread, and Capt. Fiebeger or
dered II strapped with iron bands. This
was done to prevent a further spreading.
and the Commissioners forthwith reported
the matter to Congress. The result was a
resolution calling for an investigation and
report of the bridge by piers. The work
was done by Maj. Davis. who has direct
control of the bridge. and his report pub
lished at the time in The STAR submitted
to Congress. Following that came the re-
port of Engineer Hunt, in charge of bridges.
and all of the papers were submitted TO
Congress- with the urgent recommendation
of an appropriation of $1,000 to repair the
bridge. The members of the committee
were heartily in favor of the appropriation,
but when the appropriation bill made its
Commissioners hurried to correct the error,
but as yet nothing has been done, and the
condition Of the bridge gets more serious
every day.
The cut which appears with this article
shows the damaged pier with the two
cracks. The second crack, which has just
been discovered, is located a few feet west
of the east truss near the downstream end
of the pier, and although very small in size
as yet, Is a most unfavorable sign as to the
piers integrity. The failure of this pier
would involve the loss of the two adjacent
spans-a length of 230 feet-of the bridge
structure, and cut off direct communication
with Arlington, Fort Myer and the sur
rounding territory.
A notice has been posted on the guard
house at the Georgetown end of the bridge
stating that vehicles are allowed to pass
over the entire structure at the speed OF
six miles an hour, with the exception OF
that portion between the third and fifth
piers from the Virginia end, where the
speed must be slackened to three miles an
hour owing to the reported weak condition
of the fourth pier, produced through the
crack described above.
The crack is thought to have been pro-
duced by the partial undermining of the
pier by the current during some particular
ly turbulent time. The present high water
has not added to the weakness CT the pier
so far as can be seen.

BLUEFIELDs AFFAIRS,
Report Received From Capt. Watson
OF the San Francisco.

Acting Secretary McAdoo has received n
letter from Capt. Watson. commanding the
L. ). 5. San Francisco. dated at Bluehelds,
May 10. The captain sends an account Of
the various interviews he has had with the
Nicaraguan authorities and announces the
departure for Managua Of Madriz. the Mica
raguan foreign secretary. and Torres The
latter was appointed governor Of Rama to
succeed Arguellos. the murderer of the
American, William Wilson, and was himself
required to report at the capital to answer
a charge that he had sheltered the murderer
instead of bringing him to justice. A brief
postscript TO the letter announces the escape
of Arguelas and expressed the opinion that
he would not be recaptured.
Capt Watson reports that matters were
quiet at Blueilelds. He took United States
Consul Braida aboard on the 10th and sailed
away Tor the latter's post, Greytown- The
British cruiser Magicienne was at Bluehelds
and the commander promised Capt Watson
that he would watch over the town until he
returned According to Capt Watson. the
cable and telegraph service on the lsthmus
is demoralized, ana he suggests that the
only reliable means of communicating with
him is by mail from New orleans.
The New York. which is now undoubtedly
at Bluefelds, had not arrived at the date OF
the letter.
AS matters are quiet at Bluefelds now Il
is probable that the big cruiser VIII soon be
ordered home where she viii be locked and
put I'm good order and perhaps take some OF
the naval milltiamen out for their summer
cruises. A report by mail also reached the
State Department from United States Min
lister Baker this morning. but IL was said &c
concern only events already described by
the telegraphic adVtces.

A DISTINCT SUCCESS.
The First Days Meeting of the Senate
mt 10 O'Clock.

The democrats in charge of the tariff bill
had less difficulty this morning in getting
a Quorum in the Sc ate than was antici-
pated- There was wait of about ten min
utes only, whereas 1t had been commonly
supposed that half an hour at least would
be required to get forty three Senators to
their seats. Scarcely had the deep tones of
Chaplain Milburn died away before Mr..
Henderson, refreshed by a trip down the
river. arose briskly and said:
MIR. President, there is less than one
fifth of the Senate present. and it seems to
me there should be more than that here.
suggest therefore the absence of a quo
rum
At that moment there were eight Sena-
tors on the republican side and twelve on
the democratic side. The Senators present
were: Teller, Mitchell of Oregon, Chandler,
Gallir SER Henderson, Hale. Perkins, Plat,
White, Call Butler, Allen, Kyle, Murphy,
Pasco, voorhees,. Berry, Harris, Cockrell
and Walsh. The first roll call showed the
presence Of thirty-one Senators, and Mr..
Cockrell at once called out, Let us have
the names of the absentees!' and the roll
was called. This showed that twenty-six
democrats and twenty-eight republicans
were out of the chamber. -t
Almost Immediately after the calling of
the roll, six republicans and one democrat
came in, running the total up to IS, where
geant-at-arms be directed to request the at
tendance of absent Senators. But almost
simultaneously there was a little rush. of
statesmen through the doors, including the
members of the sugar-bribery Investigating
committee, who had broken from their her
metically sealed room to respond to the
frantic rings of the electric bells. and at
1910 o'clock the Vice President announced
that forty-four Senators having answered
to their names, a quorum was present, and
he called upon Secretary Cox to read the
journal of Saturdays proceedings. Mr. Tel
Ter, however, disappointed the secretary,
who rather enjoys this matutinal function,
by asking that this proceeding be dispensed
with, and this was ordered.
No great loss. however, fell upon the COM
munity through this omission, for the Jour-
nal of the Senate nowadays is a doleful
document, and it's absence is not missed.
The morning business of the Senate asted
only five minutes, and then the calendar
was called. The first case was the bill MAX
ing judgment lien on real estate in the
District, but Senator Sherman objected, and
the bill went over. Two or three uninport-
ant measures were then passed, and prompt.
ly at 1870 Senator Harris arose and secured
the consideration of the tariff bill His
nrst day under the new rule was a distinct
success.

LITTLE PROGRESS TODAY.

Are Hopeful of &. Vote by June rS.


The Senate made but little progress with
the tariff bill today. in consequence OF n
renewal of a disposition on the part OF
republicans to indulge in talk The metal
schedule. being taken up for consideration.
the time up to late in the afternoon was
consumed in a general discussion Of the
whole schedule by republicans, who were
disposed to criticise both the items OF the
schedule and the Inconsistency Of the
democrats. This diiatory course is not re-
garced, however. as significant of any
serious trouble In the way Of ire progress
OF the bill. Ii is only what was expected
when the schedule came up. and N IL
Thought that as soon as the general tank
concerning the schedule is got through
with the items of the schedule will be dis
posed OF rapidly.
II rs not believed that the republicans
VIII return TO the policy OF dilatory dis
cusslon, but that at the beginning of the
Gel sideratiOn Of the important schedules

The cotton schedule which was included
among the schedules amended in the COM
promise, has been again revised by the sub
committee, and there has been a general
reduction OF about 10 or Il per cent below
the schedule as porposed in the compromise
amendment.

COL. BRECKINRIDGE'S CONTEST
A Delegation to Urge Him to with
draw in Favor of His Son.

The contest which Is being waged with
such earnest vigor in the sixth congress-
ional district of Kentucky between the
friends and the opponents of Col. w. c. 2.
Breckenridge over the question of the lat
ters denomination to Congress has as
sumed new and interesting phase. 1t is
understood that committee of prominent
kentuckians, who are firm friends of their
silver-tongued representative, notwithstand-
ing the exploitation which his private char
acter received in the recent breach of prom
Use suit, is about to visit Washington and
request Col. Breckenridge to withdraw from
the race for the congressional denomination
in favor of his son Desha. Those in a posi-
ton to know state that the committee will
urge such a course upon Col Breckenridge
as the proper one to pursue in view of the
excited state of the public mind in the sixth
district. 1t will represent that such action
will continue the name of Breckenridge in
the political annals of the congressional
district and of the state, and that the cleo
ton of his son would be equally as great a
recognition of the fathers services as if the
latter himself was selected, and that it will
serve equally as well in the matter of Col.
Breckinridge's desired "vindicaton."
Col. Breckenridge said this afternoon: Il
have heard the rumor. You can say for me
that the old man will be in Congress next
time. After that the young man may be
allowed to take his chance in the race, but
for the present l am still in it,

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, May 21.-In sympathy with
higher London prices our market opened
strong at advances ranging from IL to l.,
per cent, but subsequent activity resulted
In q general substitution of decreased val
ues. The sentiment of the room at the
moment is against Improvement. but the
outstanding short interest, as evidenced by
the premium list, is assuming unwieldy
proportions. The more conservative opera
tors are not willing to increase their line
OF short stocks from the present level, and
will take advantage of every break to
cover.
The trading throughc ut the day was well
distributed, though in the main profess
s:onal. There was little news of import
ance, the general lack of aggressiveness
on the part of the bulls serving as a SUBJ
stitute in the bear program.
The grangers were all favorites with the
believers In lower prices, and were made to
conform with such belief before the close
of the first hour Burlington sold down TO
IS 3-4 ex-dividend. a decline of / "a per
cent. st. Paul and Rock Island each lost
per cent, and Northwest lost l-2 per cent
on small dealings. Western Union was sold
by interests usually Instrumental in de-
pressing the price of this stock and lost
/ per cent to 81 IA. Manhattan was again
conspicuous. losing "a per cent to-if4.
but rallying on later buying for long sc-
count. The much predicted break in North
ern Pacific preferred was fulfilled to the
extent of 4 per cent decline to II IL
The bad showing to be made by the CON-
pany and rumors of adverse decisions in
certain important legal actions now pend
ing were assigned reasons for the de-
cline.
Sugar was again active and in the first
thirty minutes made a new record for itself
by declining = 3-4 per cent to 90 IA. a net
less of IL 1-2 points from recent high fig
ures. Some good buying at this point re-
stored the early loss and IL per cent ad-
couraging than last week and duplication
of the recent manipulation in this stock
is not improbable.
Chicago gas was strong at a rs per cent
advance on early trading, but sold down
per cent on realizing and some short
selling. lgs
National Lead lost "a per cent to 3s L.
but was strongly held around the latter
figure. -y
The amount of gold to go out by tonlor-
rows steamers is estimated TO be something
over 81, 100000. There is practically no
change in the market for foreign exchange
either as TO conditions or rates, and gold
will probably 90 abroad during the balance
Of the week. These shipments will be used
arguments for depressing stock values
perhaps but the movement is not regarded
as serious by the exporting houses.
The last hours trading irregular in
character. the Changers touching the lowest
point OF the day while the balance Of the
list held steady. Sugar sold up for a net
gain of l per cent from the opening, and
attracted considerable buying. In most
instances final figures reflected fractional
concessions
