Cooke says, in relation to the Senate amend- ment to the District appropriation bill, published 4n Saturday’s Srar, which requires the Secretary of the Treasury to obtain trom the estate of H. D. Cooke & Co. the sum proved aginst the estate ot H. D. Cooke & Co. by the Soldiers ana Sailors’ Or- phan Home, that the claim which 1s against the estate of Jay Cooke & Co., and not against H. D. Cooke & Co., grew out of a denoalt by the treasurer of the Soldiers and Satlors’ Orphan Home with Jay Cooke & Co., and at the time of the failure of that firm {t remained to the credit of the treasurer. ‘Vhe government has never made any claim against the éstate of Jay Cooke & Co., though it was known to the Secretary of the Treasury und the Attorney General that at any time in the past ten years the money could be recovered by simply proving the claim and collecting dividends, whten, It collected during the past five years, would hava realized from 125 to 140 centy on the'dollar. Mr. Cooke further says that the fact of the settlement Of this estate having pafd not only doliar for dol- lar, but a premium, on the clatins would seem to show that there would be no necessity for the At- torney General to bring suit vo recover the claim in question. THE New Nickrt.—The Philadelphia Times re- Ports Col. Snowden, superintendent of the mint, ‘as saying of the new nickel: “It seems to me that the coin does comply with the law. The denomi- nation should be indicated; it 1s, by the Roman numeral V., which placed gna nickel cannot mean anything but cents. It is father late to raise the objection to its not having the word ‘cents,’as the three-cent piece has been in circulation since 1865, and that coin has not the words cents on it. Mr. Gilfilan has no authority to stop the Issue from the mint. All he could dg would be to personally influence the Secretary’s action. Abouta million and a quarter of the new coins have been circu- lated in different parts of the country. They’ ould Not be withdrawn from circulation very I. No objection to: the omission of the word ‘cents? was ever made till now, and Ido not. think that the present objection deserves serious con- sideration.” PERSONAL.—Gen.

Those who attracted marked attention Were Senator David Davis with the wife af his son, whom some mistook for bis bride-elect, and the new German minister, Baron von Elseniecker, and. his bride. The parlors and conservatory were all thrown open to callers, the former lighted with gas) Mrs McElroy wore blac velvet Tichly ornamented with jet, and her assisting ladies were all elaborately dressed. After the reception Mrs. Melroy entertained these ladies at tea, The round table was laid in the upper corridor and set with dainty china. The corridor was handsomely decorated with flowers, just back of the table being grouped a pyramid of choice plants. ‘The cosy hallon which the private rooms open looked espectally hand- some, bouquets of cut flowers being placed here and there with good effect. Later Mrs. McElroy attended the meeting of the Literary Society, at the residence of Mr. Charles Nordhoff. Notwithstanding the threatening clouds Satur. day afternoon the reception of Mra. Gen. Sturgis at the Soldier’s Home was largely attended. From 1 until 4 p.m. visitors continued to arrive, and the occasion was a thoroughly enjoyable one. The Literary Society met at the residence of Mr. Charles Nordhoff on Saturday evening, and, de- spite the bad weather, the attendance was quite large, Doth of members and invited guests. The formal exercises of the evening were papers read by Mrs. Wm. M. Springer, and Mr. Martin F. Morris,—the former a beautiful descriptive poem, the latter an exhaustive essay on the decadence of Mahomedanism. Vocal music was furnished by Mr. Hickcox, after which the evening was given up to soclal Converse, ete., Which was greatly en- Joyed by all fortunate enough to be present, The fifth of the Saturday evening card recep- tlons at the residence of the Secretary of the Navy Was largely attended, in spite of the heavy rain, ‘There were present many from army, navy, diplomatic, congressional and resident ‘circles. In Mrs. Chandler’s indisposition, Mrs. Kinsley, asststed by Mrs. Hale, her mother, shared the hospitable duties of the evening with the Secre- tary. A fine band of music was in attendance, and a supper was served in the handsome dining- room. Justice and Mrs. Blatchford, with Miss Blatch- ford, who spent the‘winter here with them, left last Monday for Fortress Monroe, going from there Saturday to New York for a week’s visit. Fortress Monroe, or more properly Old Point Comfort, ts to have a gay spring season, if indica- tions prove correct.

Mr. Jackson presented in the Senate to-day the credentials of his colleague, Mr. Harris, re-elected a Senator from Tennessee, which were read and filed. ‘The President laid before the Senate a commu- nication from the Secretary of the Navy, trans- mitting the report of the board of officers ap- pointed to inquire into the circumstances of the loss of the Jeannette and the death of Commander De Long. iso, a communication from the com- missioner of Indian affairs in regard to the large sums of money annually expended by the Indians in fees to attorneys for collecting moneys due them from the government, and proposing the appointment of an officer to collect such moneys: for them. Mr. Platt, from the committee on pensions, re- Ported favorably the House bill granting a pen- sion to the widow of the late Major General Warren. THE SENATE TO MEET AT 10 A. M. At the close of the morning hour Mr.. Ingalls called up his resolution to fix the daily hour of meeting from now until the end of the session at 10a. m., which was agreed to. THE YELLOWSTONE PARK INQUIRY. Mr. Vest called up the resolution offered by him Saturday providing for a select committee of five Senators to inquire into the condition of the Yel- lowstone Park, and directing the Secretary of the Interior to take immediate steps for the preserva- tion of the game and objects of interest in the park, and in the meantime, until this committee Shall have reported, to suspent all action in rela- tion to leasing the park or any portion of it. Mr. Voorhees sald the resolution involved tm- portant interests, and would probably provoke a Rood deal of discussion, and at the suggestion of r. Morrill, Mr. Vest did not press the considera- tion of it, but gave notice that he would ask for action upon it as soon as the tariff bill should have been disposed of. On motion of Mr. Edmunds, the Senate held a brief executive session. Confirmations by the Senate. The Senate, in executive session, to-day con- firmed the following nominations: Wm.
