The Case of Ruiz.

New York, March 5.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
Consul-General Lee has received the
correspondence in relation to the Ruiz
case as given to the senate by the
secretary of state, Mr.. Olney. The
consul general will not make an official
reply until the official record is for
warded to him. He will then in the
most public manner reply to the cor
respondence, which does him grave in
justice. At the proper moment he will
have no difficulty in proving how thor
oughly without foundation are Mr. Oh
ney's insinuations. 1t can hardly be
imagined how the department could
have supposed that General Lee would
demand Buzz release from incom-
municado when p hours had elapsed.
The department never authorized Gen
Lee TO do so. though instructions in
this sense have been repeatedly re-
ouested by him in similar cases, and
We're rever forthcoming.
In the Scott case, General Lee de-
manded his release from incommuni-
cado upon his own authority, and the
department. seeing that the steps were
approved by the people. did not dis
avow it. But until after the murder
of Ruiz. the department had never in
sisted upon the recognition by the
Spanish authorities of this undoubted
treaty. right

New York, March 5.-Grover Cleve-
land has declined the offer of a COM
plimentary dinner in his honor by the
chamber of commerce. This fact was
announced yesterday at the regular
monthly meeting of the chamber of
commerce by President Alexander Orr.
Fhe latter. in making the announce
ment, spoke in high terms of praise OF
Mr. Cleveland and said:
There is no political significance
whatever in these words and none is
ir tended, my only wish being to bring
prominently to your attention the in
estimable service President Cleveland
rendered to the commercial interests
of the whole country by his courage
Gus and unflinching attitude of oppo-
sition to every measure that reflected
upon the credit or tended to compro-
mise the financial honor of this nation" "
Mr.. Cleveland in declining the honor
which he did IN a letter dated Feb. 10,
wrote:
Il hope you will, however, permit
me to say. in entire frankness and
sincerity. that the assurance of the
appreciation of my good friends of the
chamber of commerce affords me as
complete satisfaction and comfort as
any other demonstration of it could
do. Besides. all that 1 have done or at
tempted to do in the direction of the
general welfare deserves no special
manifestation of approval such as you
suggest, since all this is within the
scope of the service 1 owe to my fellow
countrymen who have trusted me"
President Orr also read 60 the cham

Washington, March 5.-The proceed
first congress were witnessed by a very
large assemblage of spectators in the
galleries of the senate chamber-the
senate being today without the legis-
lative partisanship of the house of rep
resentatives, which body will remain
in a state of suspended animation until
called into renewed existence on the
first day of the extraordinary session,
soon to be convened by President Nc
Kinley.
AS soon as the journal of yester-
days formal meeting was read, the
and presented the credentials of Mr..
Hanna as successor to Mr.. Sherman,
resigned.
The credentials were read. The ere
dentials having been read. Vice Presi-
dent Hobart invited Mr.. Hanna to step
forward and take the oath of office.
Together the two Republican sena-
tors from Ohio, who take the places of
Senators Brice and Sherman, walked
to the vice presidents desk, where
the oath was duly administered to
Mr.. Hanna, after round of hand
clapping in the galleries, and then
Senators Foraker and Hanna took
their seats at the same time, but at
some distance apart.
The next step was the adoption of a
resolution offered by Mr.. Frye (Rep.,
Me.) directing that until otherwise or
dered Mr.. Davis (Rep., Me.) be act
ing chairman of the committee on for
eign relations, the craftsmanship hav-
ing been vacated through the retire
ment of Mr.. Sherman.
At 12:45 President Mckinley sent to
the senate The following nominations:
JOHN SHERMAN of Ohio. to be
secretary of state.

Immediately upon the receipt of the
cabinet nominations, the senate went
into executive session.
The nomination of ex-senator Sher-
man, to be secretary of state, was con-
firmed off-haHd without the formality
of a reference to any committee. This
was done as an act of courtesy to an
ex-senator, and in conformity with the
customs of the senate under similar
conditions.
The other nominations for the cabi-
net were referred to the proper COM
mittees, which went into session at
once for their consideration.
While no one objected to any one of
the nominations, Mr.. Teller criticised
the selection of Mr.. Bliss for the in
terror department on account of the
fact that he was not qualified by legal
training for the business of the office
The entire cabinet was confirmed.
There was no objection raised to any
of the nominees.
At 2:27 the senate adjourned until

Judge Morrow sent next Monday as

The petition asserts that the true name

British soil, and without the jurisdic-

attorney claims that a British ship,
even though in American waters, is

Compliment to Davis. :

Washington March 5.-The action of
the senate this morning in designating
Senator Davis of Minnesota as acting
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations is a compliment to the rank
ing member of that committee. The
proceeding was out of the usual order,
and was made necessary by reason OF
the pressing business before the COM
mittee.
With the death of the Fifty-fourth
congress, the general treaty of arbi-
tration between the United States and
Great Britain, and the Alaskan bound
airy treaty between the same govern
ments leaves the table of the senate
and goes back to the committee. This
action of course, carries with 1t all the
pending amendments and leaves the
treaty before the committee absolutely
as negotiated and sent to the senate
by President Cleveland. The discus
sion will be renewed and in due time
the general treaty of arbitration will
be reported to the senate amended as
the committee may deem proper.
The pending amendments, therefore,
no longer apply unless they should be
again agreed upon by the committee
and reported to the senate.

OLNEY'S ABSENCE.
Mysterious Proceedings at the In
auguration Ceremonies Are Ex-
planned.

Washington, March 5.-The cause of
Secretary Olney's conspicuous nom
participation in any of the inaugural
ceremonies is explained as follows.
The members of the cabinet in dis
cussing at cabinet meetings last Tues
day the parts assigned to them in the
inaugural proceedings found no provi
sion in the programme for their seats
in the senate chamber or on the stand
in front of the capital.
Secretary Thurber Immediately COM
municated with Senator Sherman,
chairman OF the arrangements commit
tee, who replied that the heads of de-
partments had been provided for on
the stand, but not in the senate The
programme was consulted again and
this was found to be true. but they
were in the rear of members of the
house of representatives tvhereupon
Secretary Olney declared that he would
not go TO the capital at all. All the
members of the cabinet agreed upon
this action, but when Mr.. Mckinley
came 10 the White House yesterday
and started with Mr.. Cleveland he mo-
ticed that the cabinet officers were not
going TO accompany the parade and
on inquiry learned the reason.
Senator Sherman, who was present,
Immediately offered to five front seats
to the secretaries on lne floor of the
senate and Mr.. Cleveland's advisers
consented TO attend the ceremonies.
None OF them. however. went on the
stand as heads of departments to
listen to the inaugural speech, but f.ur-
ried off TO Secretary Lamonts house
to bid Mrs. Cleveland goodbye.
Secretary Olney did not get Mr.. Nc
Kinley's verbal invitation TO go to the
capital. because he was not at the
White House with his colleagues in the

all day by important mat
tiers. He went, however. to the ball in
the evening. prepared to escort Mrs.
Mckinley, according to the adopted
but this was disarranged
at the last moment by Mrs. McKinley's
weak condition, compelling her to have
other assistance.
