Mr.. CIeveIand's Advisors Ready to
Take Their Departure.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The last
full day in which the members of Mr..
Cleveland's cabinet will devote to the
work of their respective departments
was occupied by them in cleaning UP
the odds and ends of official business.
Secretary Francis was busy with con-
sideration of the sundry civil bill and
the Indian appropriation bill This had
especial reference to the fight that
some Of the congressional delegations
in the West are making on President
Cleveland's proclamations setting aside
big forest reservations.
Postmaster General Wilson had an
important matter under consideration
which bore fruit in the suspension Of
enc of his assistants, the chief Of the
stamp division, charged with improper
connection with the recent stamp case
of Hamilton F. Coleman. At the close
Of the departmental hours many of
his assistants gathered in his Office
and talked about office matters and
practically took their leave. Mr.. Will
sons successor, Mr.. Gary, is expected
to take the oath on Friday.
Secretary Morton was much worried
over his sister, Miss Morton, who is
just recovering from an attack of pneu

noon with her. Most of the day he
devoted to dispCsing of some personal
correspondence, and having his per-
sOnal effects packed for shipment. Dur
ing the afternoon he reviewed the last
financial statement of his administra-
ton of the department and is very
proud of the big saving he has effected.
Secretary Carlisle's time was largely
taken up in receiving distinguished Wis
itors who had called to pay their re-
spects. When not so engaged he was
going over a mass of unimDortant
routine business. He left the depart
ment early in the afternoon.
Attorney General Harmon was prob
ably the busiest member of the cabi-
net and, except for an hour which he
srent with his wife in making calls, he
kept closely to his desk until late this
evening.
Secretary Herbert was busy most of
the day in cleaning up his desk and
signing commissions OF officers who
had been promoted within the last few
days, or who had been assigned to spe-
cial duties.
Secretary Olney was early at his
desk, and as he has always been
hard worker, today differed but slight
~ from other days.
Secretary Lamont was with the pres
iGent a large part of the day assist
ing in the examination of bills as they
came from the capitol. He was at his
desk in the war department only a few
minutes this morning.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The jeal-
cusy between the two houses of con-
gress over platform privileges lends a
touch of comedy to the preparations
for Inauguration day. This strife had
its beginning back in the early years
of the government, when two houses
ccntended for the honor of installing
the president in their respective halls
President Monroe solved the difficulty
by arranging to take the oath of office
on a platform built in front of the
capitol. Since that time the custom
of erecting a platform at the East
front Of the capitol, midway between
the two houses of congress, has been
followed, but this year the senate made
an innovation by having the platform
IN front of the senate wing. The house
received this innovation as an affront
and felt further insult because eaca
senator received four tickets to the
stand, while a member was given but
two.
To equalize the privileges !hn house
proceeded to construct a platform Of
its own in front of the rotunda and
beside the main platform, with a seat
ing capacity Of 500. In further pur-
suit Of equal rights a resolution was
introduced by Representative Dockery,
inquiring by what authority the senate.
appropriated to it's own control the
stand on which the president was to
take the oath Of Office, but this resolu-
ton sleeps with the committee on rules.
Today the members of the ways. and
means committee of the house executed
flank movement on their fellow MEM
bers by bringing a gang of Workmen
to the capitol who were put to work
building private platform on the East
port1co in front Of the committee room.

LONDON, March 3.-While the latest
news from Athens indicates grave fears
that Greece will refuse to comply with
the demands of the powers to with
draw her troops and fleet from the
island of Crete within six days, dating
from noon yesterday, it is generally
recognized that the measures proposed
by the powers including the granting
of autonomy to Crete under the SuZer-
ainty of the sultan, are the best that
Europe could have adopted, in view Of
the present complicated circumstances,
when the whole Balkan peninsula is
ready to ask a quid pro quo fer any
thing obtained by Greece.
There is some comment in diplomatic
circles over the fact that the powers
decided to present identical notes to
Greece, instead of a collective note, the
latter being of much stronger charac-
ter, this change leading to the inn
preston that the unanimity of the
powers is not so conclusive as the
ministers utterances seek to convey
The situation creates fears that while
Greece may be bent to the will of the
powers without further coercion fresh
jealOusieS will arise SO soon as the
Greeks are ousted and the new regime
in Crete is inaugurated. 1t is suggest
ed in some. quarters that events may
force Lord Salisbury to desert the con-
cert of the powers and declare that
Great Britain will not authorize the
coercion OF Greece. But, it is realized
that this involves an instant, violent
diplomatic quarrel with Russia and
Germany, and possible war with one
or both.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Ccnstantinople says that the special
commission appointed by the porte to
inquire into the condition of the Turk
ish fleet has reported to the sultan that
twenty-five vessels are ready for serv-
ice The admiral of the warship Faud,
in a counter report, has given the sui
tan a less rosy version Of the real con-
dition of the fleet.
The military commission has reported
to the sultan that $4,000 troops have
been already modified or dispatched
to the frontier. Orders will be given
tonight to raise the number to 1900

WASHINGTON, March "A crush
and jam at the railroad depOts that al
most blocked the passage to the ada
cent streets and a constant influx Of
hosts of people from the trains, each
running as several sections, as we'll
as from extras coming between the
scheduled regulars, indicated an i'm
mense volume of inaugural travel to-
day 1t was a great day for the rail-
roads, and the volume Of traff1ce made
all trains today from one to eight
hours late. 1t is probable that con-
siderable over 10000 people reached
here today. One of the first arrivals
was a big deputation Of representative
Wisconsin people, who came on a spe-
cial train about daybreak. The party
included Gov. Edward Scofield and his
full staff, Secretary of State Casson,
Treasurer Peterson, Attorney General
Mylrea, State Superintendent Emery,
Railroad Commissioner McKensie and
people from throughout the state. Gov.
Scofield and the state officers this after
noon gave a reception at Representa-
tive Babcock's home to Wisconsin peo-
pie resident in Washington.
From the South, the Lincoln guards,

ELkS WILL DECORATE.
Minneapolis VIII Be ALFRED as
Never Before During Grand Lodge


During the Elks' grand lodge session in
this city next July, Minneapolis will be at
tired as she never has been in the past not
even excepting the decorations during last
years carnival week. Plans which will be
completed in a few days are in course of
preparation now, covering the principal bust
ness streets of the city. AS soon as they
are ready they will be submitted to the local
EIks, and undoubtedly accepted.
Nicollet avenue, of course, will lead all
others. From Washington avenue to Tenth
street, ?two in a block, arches will be erected
They will extend from curb to curb, and in
the center on the top of each arch will be
placed an enormous figure representing the
heal of an elk. The arches will be Of pure
white, and, although presenting a beautiful
appearance at all times of the day ii will
be after darkness has lowered over the civ
that they will be seen to the best advantage.
On each arch an innumerable number of in
candescent lights will be placed, and Mic
ollet avenue for one week will not know
what darkness is.
These decorations it is expected will cost
considerable but they will be small when
compared with the great expense to which
the business men of Minneapolis will go
In individual decorations. The work accord
Ing to the plans now being prepared is to
be done by the Elks themselves, and paid
for from the general funds. which, of course
has been contributed literally by the mer-
chants and business men of the city. Not
outstanding this fact, however those bust
ness men who have already contributed and

another in their efforts to beautify the streets

The larger business houses have already
signified their intention of sparing no pains
or expense in decorations Many of them
have already decided upon the nature of these
decorations, and promise that they will be
far ahead Of anything heretofore ATTEMPTED
by them. 1t is probable that in many cases
the material used during the grand lodge
session will be made to again do service
during the carnival week two months later.
While perhaps the immediate results of

INAUGURAL BALL.
1T Will Be the Closing Function of
the Affair.

WASHINGTON, March 3-The in
augural ball tomorrow night will close
the celebration of Mr. McKinley's in
duction into office. The great court Of
the pension office in which the func-
ton will take place, has been gorge
ously decorated with flags and bunt-
ing, and forests of tropical plants and
potted flowers. The arched galaries
are hidden with green's and superb
designs Of lights and flags. The bali
proper opens with the arrival Of the
president at $50, and as he enters with
Mrs. Mckinley and the presidential
party. the full Marine band will an
nounce it with the opening march.
After disposing of their wraps, the
president with Mrs. Mckinley will
make the tour of the ball room, leading
the grand promenade This is practi-
cally his only public appearance at the
function, as he will then retire to the
suite of apartments set aside for his
use and there receive a few friends
and the most distinguished guests.
Vice President Hobart will &C.
company the president to the ball, this
arrangement having been made to
facilitate the reception of the privileged
guests. AS he has not fully recovered
from his recent attack Of grip, Mr.. Nc
Kinley has indicated that he will be
obliged to forego the pleasure of shalko
ing hands at the ball. The great crush
at this function usually makes dane
ing an impossibility until late hour,
when the crowd has been reduced.
