Cheers on their Arrival at the Ar- lington. “THE CHEERFUL ROOMS AT THE ARLINGTON. Afire burned cheerfully in the grate in the presidential quarters at the Arlington to-day, the table was set for company, silver shone on the sideboard, and there was an air of ex- pectancy about the place, Everything was in readiness for the arrival of the President-elect and Mrs, Harrison, The rooms set apart for the honored guests in the Johnson annex of the Arlington have been sufficiently described. They are fur- nished in especially good taste, and were cheer- ful enough this morning. Aman satat the foot of the stairs to keep curious visitors out of the apartments, and the carpenter was putting a ucw lock on the door leading to the other part of the hotel. A maid with a dust brash in her \d found no use for that implement. Everything was in readiness, noth- ing remained to be done but to open the door to the party on their arrival, so they were wait- ing and matters were going on as usual at the hotel, During the mornmg a large box from New York, addressed to Mrs, Benjamin Harri- Sou, arrived at the hotel and was on a pile of trunks in the lobby. BEFORE THE ARRIVAL. On the streets and about the inaugural com- mittee rooms it was all rush and expectation. ‘The public interest was centered upon the ex- pected arrival of Gen, and Mrs. Harrison, and all day long a great many people were walking in a restless sort of way about the avenue and | hotel lobbies, waiting for it to be time to get down to the depot to see the arrival. Toward 1 o'clock the appearance IN THE SIXTH STREET DEPOT was that a great many of Washington's citizens were going traveling. The waiting-rooms were pretty well filled with people, some of whom had taken the precaution to bring their hand- bags with them to secure admission, but there was no attempt to keep any one out of the building, and before 2 o'clock it was pretty well crowded, The general tendency of the promenaders on the Avenue was toward the station, though there was no large congrega- tion in that vicinity. The badge men and the boys selling pictures of Harrison and Morton, or the still more attractive photos of Gen. and Mrs, Harrison on one card, were on hand and doing a brisk business, THE CROWD IN WAITING, At 2:30 as many people were in the depot and on the platform as could be crowded to- gether and considerable of a crowd occupied the streets for about a block each direction from the depot, Down 6th street the crowd was scattered along the track as far as the old armory building. No carriagse and no committee pre in sight at this time, and the suspicion became general that the y had arranged to get off the train on Vir- ginia avenue, to avoid the crowd at the depot. When the New York train came in with an immense load of passengers, shortly after 2 | o'clock, the crowd in the depot surged forward only to be disappointed, Lieutents Amiss and Kelly, with the squad of reserve police, were waiting in the depot shed, and about the entire corps of correspondents and several local men were on board. ‘The correspondents were expecially pene lest they were standing in the cold to no good purpose. DISAPPOINTED, At 2:40 neither the train nor the reception committee had arrived, and a few moments later it was announced that the train had gone down to Maryland avenue and the party had got off there and taken carriages awaiting there and driven at once to the Arlington. ‘The special squad of police was then drawn off from the depot, and the crowd slowly dispersed; deeply grieved aud disappointed at mot getting a peep at the President-elect. The people were more disappointed than surprised, a8 something of the sort rather expected, but many still | don the — streets and about the station sometime after Gen. Harrison and his party had reached the hotel. The people along the curb on the Avenue waiting to see the carriages Oo by were slow to bear of the trick that had been played upon them, and they stood about for some time. But there were not much over a thousand people assembled all told. There was no great Joba avd a any time and the disappointment was born patiently. AT THE ARIANGTON HOTEL, There were two or three hundred people waiting in the vicinity of the Arlington hotel this afterngon in expectation of President Harrison's arrival. Vermont avenue, opposite the hotel, was lined with people, and little knots of waiters were to be seen on every hand, Watches were frequently consulted, and questions flew prowiscuously in endeavors to learn the = ex location of the presidential rooms, the door he should enter, who should escort him. The hotel windows were filled with those fortunate enough to se- cure seats. Atabout 2:15 the police, several of whom were in attendance under Licut. Guy, began to make demonstrations and cleared a passage- way in tront of the Johnson annex, where the presidential rooms are located. This caused the formation of a crowd of two or three hundred people. ‘The amateur photographer was there with his machine. Atten minutes before3 the crowd cried HERE THEY ARE! and there was @ movement to the front, which the police promptly checked, ‘Lhe first carriage stopped and the door was instantly opened by an olticer. Chairman Brit: ton emerged first, followed by Mrs, Harrison, Mr. Britton then handed out Baby McKee, whose appearance caused another murmur of greeting. General Harrison next stepped out, and for a moment the crowd hesitated, then A CHEER WENT UP. Men removed their hats and ladies waved their handkerchiefs. The general waited a moment on the stone step and then smiled and took off - his hat and bowed on both sides to the crowd, lowed him ont of the conch. As the party filed up the walk to the door the cheering continued, and the general had to, bow again in rexponse, The embarkation of the remainder of the party was quickly accomplished and the crowd | His sister fol- Acts Approved by the President.

In presenting the report on the sundry civil bill Mr, Randall stated that there were three or four main items of controversy. One relates to the question of the use of steam-presses in the bureau of engraving and printing, another relates to the library building, the question being whether the law of last year should be changed so thet this structure shall have a limit of $6,000,000 instead of $4,000,000. The third material point in controversy is in rela- tion to the parc! of alot immediately west of the Post-Vitice es for the city post- office and other public buildings, which 1s an indefinite appropriation and cun'be regulated in amount only by the judgment of a Washing- ton jury. It is rumored, said Mr. Randall, in reply to a question from Mr. Mills, that the proposed lot may cost $1,250,000. ATTACKED WITH EPILEPSY. Beverly F.

CAPITOL TOPICS. TO ADMIT NEW MEXICO. Delegate Joseph, of New Mexico, has intro- duced a bill providing for the admission of New | Mexico as a state of the Uuion. It provides that the present territory may become a state, under the provisions in the omnibus bill approved on the 22d instant, so far as they are applicable to the territory of New Mexico, THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON TERBITORES, at its meeting to-day, directed a favorable re- port to be made on the House bill to authorize the counties of Arizona to issue bonds in liqui- dation of the indebtedness already contracted. Delegates Carey, of Wyoming, and Dubois, of Idaho, were present to address the committee in favor of the passage of enabling acts for the admission of the territories represented by them into the Union, but owing to the early meeting of the Senate the delegates were able only to begin their arguments before the com- mittee adjourned, IN FAVOR OF SUPPESSING THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

FOR MONDAY’S PAGEANT. Committeemen Busted by Final Prepa- rations. CHANGES MADE IN THE ORDER OF THE PROCES- SION—THE NAVAL BRIGADE—COMMITTEES TO MEET THE ABRIVING ORGANIZATIONS, Arush that indicated the approach of the end of the labors of preparation was visible around inaugural headquarters to-day. Mar- shals, aides, committeemen and others were holding their final consultations and receiving their final ifistructions. Astream of men of military appearance kept passing in and out of the grand marshal’s room, where Gen, Hastings presided, A telegraph instrument in the cor- ner of the room, managed by a youthful opera- tor every now and then, ticked outa message from some marshal of an organization in some distant city, inquiring as to the position to be assigned him in line. Gen. Hastings was en- gaged to-day in revising the plans heretofore announced as tp the streets where the different divisions will be formed. The order of the procession was not completed to-day, and it will probably not be ready to issue until to- morrow. THE NAVAL BRIGADE, A part of the first division of the parade, which will act as escort to the President and President-elect from the White House to the capitol, will be composed of marines and sea- men. This will form a naval brigade com- manded by Capt. R. W. Meade, of the navy, with Lieut. T. B. M. Mason as his adjutant. It is expected that there will be @ thousand men in this part of the line. The committee having charge of fireworks and the flambeau club drill are talking of changing the place selected for the drill and having it near the capitol. There will be four clubs probably in the contest. « Gen. Ramsay, the marshal of the New Jersey brigade of the civic procession, and Col, Toffey, the representative of New Jersey on the civic committee, have secured rooms at the Ebbitt for New Jersey headquarters. They will be here Saturday. CONFERRING WITH THR COMMISSIONERS, The Commissioners this morning gave an audience to Messrs. Britton, McCammon, and General Hastings on the part of the inaugural committee. The route of march was discussed, together with the streets which were to be kept clear. It was decided that all carriages or ve- hicles intending a trip to the capitol on March 4should go by way of H street, or any street north of H street, to New Jersey avenue and thence to the capitol. The same route will have to be followed on returning. Major Moore was present at the interview. TO RECEIVE CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS.

Moore, chief of police, this morning, and had an hour's consultation with him, aud at the con- clusion expressed themselves as entirely satis- fied with police arrangements, THE AQUEDUCT TUNNEL. The Report of the Congressional Com- mittee of Investigation. The select committee on the Washington aqueduct have completed their report on the condition of the tunnel, and the same was pre- sented to the Senate to-day by Mr. Edmunds, After going at considerable length mto the authority for the construction of the tunneland the law in the case, the committee says: “It appears from the report of the experts and from the testimony taken to be beyond all question that substantially the whole and every part of the lining of the tunnel is ABSOLUTELY AND ENORMOUSLY DEFECTIVE, and that it is scarcely too much to say that there is hardly any continuous length of 10 feet in the whole lining where the back- ing, particularly over the arch of the ling, is not either absolutely wanting, or only pary filled in; or, when fully filled in, so adiy constructed as to make the whole back- ing of THE LINING ENTIRELY WORTHLESS, Some profile drawings, made from actual ex- aminations through the course of the tunnel, are returned as part of the report of the expert engineers, which show how utterly bad the whoie lining is, ‘These profile drawings do not cover the whole length of the tunnel, but measurements have been made and cross-sections have been sketched by experts, from which similar draw- ings could be produced covering the whole length of the lining. THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTORS. “It appears from the testimony taken that | during the progress of the lining work under the last contract, if not earlier, several of the Government inspectors, whose names appear in the testimony and whose duty it was to watch the operations of the workmen and see that the work was done accordid to the contract; under color of working time, &c., received, under false Various sums of money from the the time-keeper of the coi ing in his time-book these intended to represent the particular in- — and from which time - book the sums were computed, put in envelopes addressed to the fictitious names, handed to some one of the subcontractors, or handed over directly to the inspector, as the case might happen tobe. * * * MAJOR LYDECKER AND LIEUT. TOWNSEND. The commitice has no just grounds to be- fictitious names lieve from the evidence that either Major Lydecker or Lieut, Townsend was guilty of a corrupt practices in regard to the matter, or had any pertonal kuowledge that the sub-inspectors were receiving money in the manner stated; but the fact remains that, with all this responsibility and duty of vigilant superiutendence and watchfulness cn their part, and on the part of tho goxernment, chief inspector and others, and jth: contracting duty of the contractors, tuousands of feet of the lming, oceupying | ne arly six months in its construction, was | systematically put in in a manner FRAUDULENT AS TO THE GOVERNMENT, | which was paying full and adequate price for |the work, and ebsoluiely worthicss, iu condition im which it was left, the purposes of a lining of the tunnel carrying water under the very reat pressure that this uning must cndure, CONCLUSIONS OF THE COMMITTEE, In view of the evidence, the committee feels compelled to say that the officers in charge of the work, as well as the chief inspector, must have been guilty of great negligence in the discbarce of their duties, for it seems impossible to conceive that in any work of titis great importance, requiring, after repeated examinations and considerations of the subject, the most perfect constraction and the most perfect fulfiiiment of the contract for a c lete and solid back- ing to the lining, this systematic sham-work could have gone on for months of time and for thousands of feet in length of tunnel with- gineers connected with the work or any one of the inspectors had done his duty. WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH IT? The question of “What shall be done with the tunnel?” is answered as follows: We think, therefore, that the fact that so great an amount of moncy has already been expended upon the tun- nel does not furnish an jaate reason for spending a still further very large amount, subject to ail the known and unknown coutingencies that may occur in respect of it; and the committee thinks this is particu- larly trae when a supply can be obtained and maintained under known conditions, and with no uncertain elements, for a sum not much exceeding what will doubtless be re- quired to put the tunnel in the condition de- scribed. The question is really one whether Congress shall now expend substantially the same amount of money for the work, which, when completed will be open to all the doubts and dithculties, as well as expense in the future, already referred to in regard to the tunnel, or whether it will ex- pend itfor a similar supply of water in a way that leave nothing open to uncertainty They report against spending any more’ money in respect of the tuunel under existing. —_ circumstances d that for the present, at least, it should be iu the condition in which it is, The committee has decided, as a means of relief, in favor of a 48-inch surface conduit, at $575,000, including all the connections, This will, the committee thinks. supply the city’s wants for the next ten or fifteen Feers, The report concludes with an amendment which the committee intend to offer to the de- ficiency bill appropriating $1,000 for a survey of the line for a substantially surface gravity conduit from the present distributing reservoir to the new reservoir in the city, the rurvey to be made under the direction of the chief of engineers, a a The President-Elect’s Train.
