THE SENATE SIMPLY MEETS AND ADJOURNS. ~ The Senate simply met, and on motion of Mr. Allison adjourned, SENATOR WALCOTT HERE, Senator Walcott made his debut in the Senate to-day and received a cordial welcome from his republican associates, In personal appearance he somewhat resembles J. K. Upton, formerly assistant secretary of Treasury under Windom. DURATION OF THE SPECIAL SEXATE SESSION. The sentiment of democratic Senators is against the consideration of legislative busi- ness of any character at the special session. ile no formal action has been taken by the republican Senators, it is stated that they will not attempt to do any- ng but purely executive business. They are tired and want to get aw: A two-weeks’ ses- sion at most is all xpected now. ‘NOTES. The Co: ional Record of to-day consisted of a si ie sheet, thus beating all previous rec- ords as far as brevity is concerned. In executive session yesterday when the cab- inet nominations were presented and immediate consideration asked, a democratic Senator took occasion to remind the Senate of the formality to which the nomination of Secretary Colman was subjected, On that occasion the republi- cans insisted upon referring Mr. Colman’s name to the committee on agriculture, notwith- standing the fact that he was well known by every member of the Senate, and said that the democrats might with equal propriet! Seacrest cout ieee, but that they cabinet to the proper com: rut y waived that formality, Senator Quay was the object of much atten- tion in the Senate chamber this morning. He was the first arrival, and as soon as he became known to the occupants of the crowded galleries there Aas much curiousty to see the republican gene: THE RIDDLEBERGER INCIDENT. The ex-Senator Wants the Entire Collo- quy Inserted in the Proceedings. Ex-Senator Riddleberger is not pleased be- cause the Senate, on motion of Senator Daniel, expunged from the Congressional Record all reference to the scene whiich took place on Sunday night, when, by order of President Ingalls, Mr. Riddleberger was expelled from the chamber. Senators generally regarded Mr. Daniels’ motion as being perfectly proper, and | quite a number of them have since said that the Senate owed it to its own dignity that its record contain nothing of the unfortunate and (so far .

So the Record will remain as the Senate intended to have it. THE FIREWORKS DISPLAY. It is Announced to Take Place To-night | Without Fail. Many thousand people assembled last night in the vicinity of the Treasury department, at | the west front of the capitol and other points where a good view could be obtained of the sec- tion of the sky which it was expected would be illuminated at eight o'clock by a display of serial fireworks, They looked and looked and | rethained many hours, but the sky did not give any sign. Then they turned home, chilled by the raw air and disappointed. The reason why there was no display last night was that the | wind was so high that it was exceedingly | dangerous to unload and handle the fireworks, The contractor declined to take the risk, as his contract did not relieve him of the risk. Mr. J. W. Thompson, of the fireworks committee, | increasing demands of who has immediate superintendence of the display, was at work y arranging to have the display to-night. He stated to a Star re- porter that the display would take place to- night under any circumstances. The illumi- | © nation of the Avenue will begin at quarter to seven sharp, and the display of fireworks at quarter to eight. The crowd Se the south steps of the Treasury De ent last night did not see any more | fireworks than did the balance of the multitude, but it had more fun. Some of it was of 2 bois-; terous puny weer and was recognized as hu- | morous only by those who were notsufferersby | it. Some of the boys who occupied positions on the rear of the huge wooden reviewing stand thered together as many as possible of the fittic cushions which speculators had rented out on the 4th and which had in most cases been spoiled by the rain, and with these th bombarded the crowd below. Many a good silk hat was crushed by the missiles and it was Visrtors To THE AnT GaLLEny.—Some idea of | altogether very funny, except to the owner of the hat. An extraordinarily large prppartion of the multitude was composed of country people, they having journeyed to the city in vehicles of all oceriptions, from the old-fashioned carry- all to the big farm-wagon. They had more | Pl reason to be inted than any of the city people, but they said less. CHANGES THE DATE TO APRIL 30.

Among the scenes attending the inauguration there were not any more interesting or that showed in amore striking manner the great pub- lic interest in the events of the day than those about Evextxo Star office, Since Satur- day Tae Stan's counting-room has been be- sleged by people from all parts of the country, eager to secure supplies of the several editions of the paper containing reports of occurrences connected with the inauguration. The press- room, too, equipped with three fast presses, has been a scene of bustling activity. Thousands of people have crowded about the doors and windows, looking with wonder upon the swift and perfect work of these machines. These resses, which ther print 1,200 complete fowrspage rena. sainule, “have boen cept , Papers going constantly in order to supply the demand for Tae Srar. ‘The operations of the mechanical department of the office seem to have been of as much in- terest to thousands of strangers in the city as the working of any of the great departments of the government. It was, by means of its lendid mechanical equipment, rivaling in ity that of the greatest newspaper = ‘ing offices in the country. that Tage Star was enabled to issue on inauguration day, within three hours after the President had taken the oath of office and before the procession had disbanded, a paper containing 128 columns, most of which were devoted to ‘a graphic and complete history of the events of the day. A WONDERFUL WORK. The magnitude and rapidity of this work, the pfeparation of the copy by reporters, the typesetting, the stereotyping and the final issue of the paper from the press. can hardly be <o jageoe by one unfamiliar with the opera- tions of a modern wane 2 office, The feat was one that has never m equaled, as it could not be undertaken, in any office in this city, and has never been excelled in any city. The matter published in Tae Star of that day, if printed in book form, would have made a volume of the largest size. The three editions of Tue Star, Saturday, Monday and Tuesday, make a more sonra interestin; of the inay; tion ceremonies an tivities, and all the scenes attending the event, than has ever been printed on any simi- lar jion. Four years ago complimented upon i contemporaries id even the mauner in which it then covered, in ex- tended reports, the scenes attending the inau- guration of President Cleveland. The achieve- aon roa nian this inat rae would at that time have been regarded as im; 80 far as any Washington newspaper olice concerned. KEEPING PACE WITH THE TIMES. Tue Star, however, anticipating the great and increasing demands made upon it as the leading newspaper of a great and growing city, has been constantly adding to and improving its facilities in all departments, It was thus Le aged to perform its part in a manner cred- itable to Washington city and to American journalism. With any less complete establish- ment Tue Stan would have been unable to supply the orders for papers, and even as it is, the demand has taxed the capacity of the presses to the utmost. No other newspaper office in the city could have met the emergency or issued in the same time-one-f amount of printed matter. This demand forthe editions of the three days continues without abatement, and the ee will be kept at work upon them until londay. IN THE COUNTING-ROOM, The sidewalk in front of Tae Star's counting- office has been blockaded since last Saturday night by the crowd, and the throngs of people in the counting-room formed a struggling mass of humanity, each impatient to be served. From daylight until midnight has this pressure kept up—a pressure which not only exceeded the capacity of the regular force in the circulation department of the paper, but which overtaxed the energies of a large and active corps of ad- ditional workers. From typesetting to the sale of the paper wrapped and stamped Ly for mailing. everybody was nerved up to the highest point of energy and achieve- ment; and amidst what seemed to be confusion to the unteained observer, there complete sys- tem prevailed. Indeed, in no other way could the great demand upon the establishment be met, Literally, everybody in town wanted not only a copy but many copies of the paper to nd away. Immense stacks of Stars, piled up like hay-ricks and corded up like fire-wood or lumber, were placed in 7 available space, and as these rapidly melted away under the e crowd new supplies took their place. At times, however, it was absolutely impossible to meet all calls, not- withstanding the fact that a procession of strong active men were engaged in carry- ing the product of the presses from the press-room to the hands of clamor- ing customers, For the time being every r branch of business in the spacious count- ing-room was suspended in order that the demands of the public for copies of the Paper might be met with the least delay possible. ‘The lower end of the ay, counter was utilized for wrapping purposes. Inks and pens were in readiness for writing, the address and stam) were furnished. At the further end of the office were large mailing sacks into which the papers were put, ready to be carried away by relays of wagons constantly running to the (beep The newsboys, too, whose numbers ve been largely reinforced by arrival from Baltimore, cite oe and New York, have carried papers irom the office by the thousands and rapidly disposed of them, In a word, never was there a greater demand for a popular newspaper, and never was such a demand better met than by THe Evenrve Star during the pressure of inauguration times.
