In a State of Forwardness—The River and Harbor Bill. Mr. Blanchard expects to get the river and harbor bill up in the House on Wednesday, when they come together after the holi- days. He will probably meet with opposition from the advocates of other bills. There are two appropriation bills on the calendar that may antagonize him, and he is going to fight for it, and the chances are that if he does not get the day it will be wasted in antgonisms. He says that unless there is de- te ed filibustering against his bill he will pass it through the House, and he is no longer anxious about the Senate. ‘The House committee on appropriations will meet at 9:30 on Wednesday morning to. con- sider the sundry civil and fortification bills, The subcommittees have finished their work, and the whole committee except to re- wt the bills to the House on Wednes- yor Thursday.

He spent much time about it, and without promising anything, intimated much to them all. It was generally understood that he was try- ing to find out what would be best for New York. the House talking wisely, and spent much time louse, and spent m in the cloak-room of the ‘Senate. The Sherman men thought they had him; the Blaine men were sure they had him. Allison's friends and others were given encour- eee but finally it was Platt was for General Alger, and that he would give the solid New York delegation to the wealthy Michigan soldier and statesman. Still the Blaine men winked cautiously, and said that Platt was cunning. WHEN THE CONVENTION CAME OFF Mr. Platt wasan Alger man. It was talked of atthe Grand Pacific and the Palmer House that Platt was going to throw the New York delegation over to Alger. Within a select circle it was declared positively that Platt’s scheme was not to nomi- nate Alger, but to prevent the nomination of Sherman, Harrison, or Allison; to bring about a dead-lock that would result in the nomina- tion of Blaine. The Blaine men certainly understood this to be his move. But it turned out that Mr. Platt not only could not control the delega- tion, but that he could not even influence their action in the least. The Depew-Miller control was complete and Platt ‘was powerless, This was plain to every one in Chicago who was familiar with the situation. Whatever the deal was that gave Harrison the New York vote IT WAS NOT MADE BY MR. PLATT, and, moreover, it was declared by those who expected Harrison's nomination on Monday that Morton would be second on the ticket and that Miller would be candidate for gov- ernor of New York. is was their slate before the third ballot was taken on the fate- fal Monday. Platt never knew why Depew was made a candidate before the convention, nor why he withdrew. All this, it is thought, throws a little light on the present situation, and leaves the public to infer that there is a better understanding between ‘MR. HARRISON AND MR. MILLER’S FRIENDS than the present discussion indicates. Tho ery | men who know these facts expect Mr. Miller to go into the cabinet, and say that Platt will be satisfied with the collectorship of the of New York. They agree, however, that it may be found impracticableo put Mr. Miller in the cabinet, In this event they expect to see him cared for in some other way, and to see Mr. Cornelius Bliss selected for the cabinet, ‘THE INAUGURATION BALL. Col. Swords’ Remarks in Reference to Statements of Indianapolis Ministers. The secretary of the inaugural committee, Col. Swords, in conversation with a Stan re- Porter to-day, referred to the statements said to have been made by ministers in Indianapolis relative to the ball and its cost. “It is absurd, in the first place,” he said, “for any one to talk of the inauguration costing $100,000, It won't cost $35,000. Besides, it is the money of the citi- zens of the District of Columbia, who propose that the thousands of people who visit the capi- tal city next March shall be properly entertained and that a suitable demonstration be made. The ball is simply one of the features of this gala occasion. It will give the people the have the opportenity of” deing "se, daring the ave the op) of so dur: day. Itis tote gil real naughty all that is going to be held under the auspices of the most respectable and honored citizens of the District, with the yee ‘ation of the best peo- = of the country, but it is going ly and respectable gathering. It is true that there will be no complimentary tickets, but I fail to see how that fact will lower the tone of the ball. Everybody will have a good time and will see one of the grandest spectacles that was ever presented on a similar occasion in this country.” Chairman Britton has received a letter from Private Secre' Halford, stating that the ar- rangements made for quarters at the Arlington for the President-elect and_ his ry are en- tirely satisfac to General Harri: Hon.

This time the ascent is proposed to be made by a member of the college of aero- nauts in Paris, France.

HE IS SUPPOSED TO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE LATEST MYSTERIOUS TREASURY ROBBERY. The first outcome of the investigations into the recent mysterious robbery of a canceled 820 note from the office of the controller of the currency was evidenced on Satur- day night by the arrest of three men on suspicion of complicity in the crime. The arrests were made by agents of the secret service division, and the men were taken to the first precinct station. The: were all messengers in the controller's office, one of them being a white man. Upon careful questioning by Lieut Amiss, two of them, the white man and one of the colored men, were released, and the other, whose name has been ascertained to be Samuel A. McKin- ney, was held for further investigation. Great mystery surrounds the case, and it is with difficulty that this man’s name was learned this morning. He is employed in the national — redemption agency of the treasurer's ice. At the secret service division this morning no could break the silence that Eon edepied by Chief Clerk Cowie, who is in charge of the case. He would not say whether there were any new developments, At the first precinct station-house this after- noon it was learned that McKinney was taken from there this morning, but as he was the ape of the secret-service people no one ew where he had gone.
