The mild weather proved a bonanza. not

these were packed, TOO. After the display

not big enough for the crowd, and the

lomatic corps occupied seats at the win
dows and on the balconies Of the State De-
partment and enjoyed the aerial pictures
thrown against the canopy of night prior
to their departure for the later festivities
at the Pension building.
The President and Mrs. Mckinley and
their numerous guests also improved the
opportunity for brief inspection Of the
beautiful pyrotechnical display gwen in
honor of the new chief magistrate and TIE
first lady Of the land The view from the
south front of the White House was par
ticularly fine.
1t began at 7:3O o'clock with resonant
salute of 101 aerial guns, which, exploding
at great elevation. served to illuminate
the heavens as well as large portion of
the mundane sphere, including the monu-
ment and all the public buildings in the vi
clnity, the chief Of which the White
House, the State. War and Navy depart
ments and the Treasury Department. There
were thirty set pieces in all, representing
the newest and best concets in fireworks,
and each seemed 20 surpass the other in
some special point Of beauty or artistic
erect. There were all sorts of fireworks
and Illuminating combna ions, and each
provoked general eXclamations of awe ard
admiration. The grounds and buildings
were brilliantly illuminated with 800 col
ored hres-red, white and Dlue-after which
there was fine display of rockets bombs,
Tourbillions or fiery whirlwinds. golden
clouds studded with jewels fired by cleo
trlclty, rockets hung with chains OF rides

and bombs, aerial torrents Of Illuminated

first to white, then to blue and finished
with hanging chains; a rainbow formed OF
one hundred 131.-inch bombs fired by cleo
tricity. electric shells Of great iluminat-
ing power. the whole closing with grand
Feu de Joie. One Of the best features of
the exhibition was the inauguration bou-
qIet' produced by the vertical flight of
1900 large colored rockets. making bright
mass Of myriad colors, almost as high as
the monument. The piece" hat received
the first prize from the spectators, how
ever, was an immense pyrotechnic Of ''Old
Glory which shone out resplendent in the
blackness of the night far above the pin
nacle of the monument. 1t represented the
national flag, with all the colors showing
brightly, 500 by 80 feet unfurled, full
mile above terra firma. 1t was veritable
beacon of patriotism and liberty.
During the exhibition powerful search
lights cast bright beams Of light across the
sky and played on the monument and other
prominent features of the landscape. The
lights on the War Department and Treasury
Department were particularly effective. The
large garrison flag over the War Depart
ment was flooded with light at frequent in

SlMsIARILY PUNISHED.
Capt. Munce Dismissed for Taking
stamps From the Department

stamps From the Depar rtment.
Postmaster General Wilson has suspend
ed Captain Thomas O. Munce, chief of the
stamp division of the Post Office Depart
nIent, for taking stamps from the depart
ment and disposing of them to dealers.
Captain Munce is one OF the best known Of
ficials of the department He Is from
louisiana and was appointed to his recent
position al the beginning of the Cleveland
administration.
This action is the outgrowth of the in
Vestisation into the Colman stamp case,
Which recently figured conspicuously in
New York city. The charges aver that
Aunce. without authority, took from the
office in which they were deposited certain
sets Of United States postage stamps,

more sets Of them passed, through a mem
Der of his family. with or without consid-
Grafton to certain stamps dealers in Wash
iEgton. one of whom Colman was sub
sequently arrested with part of these
stamps in his possession. Postmaster
General Wilson holds that there can be no
doubt OF the gross improperly of Munce's
action, II not of it's criminality, and SAYS
If the case were fully made up he would
deal promptly with 1T and according to its
merits. He, however, found the papers IN
complete for a full disposition of the case
and has directed a thorough and sweeping
irvs stlgation as to the practices for years
past Of giving out stamps from the depart
nent as necessary to break up the practi
| and correct loose methods and to award
| due punishment at the same time from all
who may be proved guilty.
The order directs the fourth assistant
postmaster general. through the inspeefinl
| fcice and others, to investigate the rumors
and charges connecting employees of the
| department with unlawful taking away oI
trafficking in stamps and to report will
| evidence to the Postmaster General.
Final action on Munce's case Is to b<
taken only when all the cases are ready
| for action. The order also directs thai
| safe and careful regulations be made &ol
! the custody and accounting for all speci

| the department and for precluding the alb

Course Of Action.

Course of Action.
Gov. Bradley of Kentucky yesterday
afternoon wrote and filed the following
dispatch:
Hon. NJ. a. Hanna, Arlington Hotel,
Washington, ID. c.:
II stated in the Commercial Tribune
more than two months ago that no session
would be called until after March 4. 4
told YOU that a session would he called
Immediately after that date. Hence your
dispatch of today urging me to call
session Immediately is unwarranted The
session will be called tomorrow, and that
act will be Influenced alone by what L
conscier tiously believe to be the best in
terest of the public services.
(SigneD "wILLIAM o. BRADLEY"
This telegram was the result of several
dispatches received by the governor from
Mr. Hanna since the latter has been in
Washington. Mr. Bradley's friends claim
that DIR. Hunter and other anti-Bradley
Kentuckians in Washington have made
Mr. Hanna believe that Gov. Bradley
means to appoint and fail to call a ses-
sion rather than allow his old enemy. Hun
ter, to be elected Senator. They say that
these same men have persuaded Hanna to
send several kilograms, one urging him
not to appoint Senator A. I. Wood, and
urging that he call an extra session imme-
diately. Mr.. Hanna wired Gov. Bradley
yesterday again. asking when he would
call an extra session. and urging ii be done
at once. Mr.. Hanna followed it up with a
dispatch saying: why don't you answer
my telegrams.
in return. Gov. Bradley says that he will
appoint Wood and issue a call for an ex-
ira session Immediately after, just as lie
has intended doing for two months.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Some Important Correspondence Laid
Before the Senate.

Important correspondence relating to the
Nicaragua canal was sent to the Senate
Wednesday by the President Probably the
most important part of the correspondents
is communication from Minister Baker
to Secretary Olney. dated February B. 1896.
in which he details an interview with
President Zelaya of Nicaragua, in which
the latter stated that he had taken the
opinion of a commission of three lawyers,
who agreed that the Maritime Canal Com
psry had forfeited it's concession by its
failure to do any work for many years. Mr..
Zelaya then expressed to Mr.. Baker the
hope that the United States government
would take up the enterprise. He
said ii could be very easily arranged TO
have the contract transferred to the gov
ernn ent OF this country, as he had reached
the c0eclusion that only great govern
ment could put the work through.
Il asked the president" says Mr.. Baker.
IF his government las had at any time
an offer from a foreign country TO take
hold of this enterprise en- condition that the
existing contract should be gotten rid Of
He frankly said: 1T has not" Mr.. Baker
adds that he makes these statements at
President Zeiaya's request, I'm order that
his position may be understood at Wash
ington. The correspondence includes sew
eral letters from Mr.. Blaine when he was

What They Have to Say of the Inau-

The financial clauses of President Nc

received in business circles in London with
every expression of satisfaction. The rep

house said that they were much pleased
with tine position taken up by the Presi-

tive tone" He would not express an opin-
ion on the international bimetallism clauses
Howard Potter of Brown. Shipley & Co.
remarked: 1t is quite in line with what
expected. If President Mckinley appoints
a good commission to revise the monetary
laws there is no doubt that good will result
The country must be thoroughly sick of
the situation. In view of Japan's adoption
OF the gold standard and RLssia's accumu-
lation of gold, 1t is very doubtful if inter-

Secretary Mcneil of the Bimetallic League
said: We are delighted with the clause
referring to international bimetallsm. 1t
is all We hoped for, and the British bimet-

be the best thing done by the United States
