Tae Prestpent Takes a Datve.—Yesterday the President departed from his custom of walking in the afternoon, and in the place of his half hour's stroll he drove ont in his new buggy behind one of his new horses, accom- panied by Mr. Studebaker. - Dinner was served at the White House between 6 and 7 o'clock. The Vice-President and daughters, the mem- bers of the cabinet and their wives and a num- ber of the Indiana friends of the President and Mrs. Harrison assembled at the White House to watch the display of fireworks, The mansion was illumiated. Postage on Tue Srar.—A number of per- sons who bought Te Srar of the issues of Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday and mailed them separately failed to put sufficient postage on them, and they are now lying in the city post-ofiice. They will of course be turned into the General Post-Office as unmailable matter, andthe sender will lose both the paper and postage. It will be well enough, therefore, for those who have muiled the sixteen-page STARS under a one-penny stamp to know that the six- teen-page papers require a 2-cent stamp. At- tention was called to this at the business office of Tux Star, and the wagon-loads which were sent from this office direct were properly stamped and promptly mailed, but those who mailed the paper away from this office would do well to look into the matter. Tar Fences Anounp Laraverte AND FRANK- uy Parks.—Col. John M. Wilson, commissioner of public buildings and grounds, has awarded to James and Thomas Lanigan, of this city, the contracts for removing the iron fences around Lafayette and Franklin parks. The price for the former is $185.84 and for the latter $125.16, Visitors To THE MonumENT.—The Washing- ton monument is doing active duty as an enter- tainer of the vast crowds that have visited the city of late. On Monday the shaft was open ‘half the day, although the 4th was a legal holiday, and two or three thousand went up and saw the drenched city. On Tue~de cended the shaft, and yesterday 8,500 went up, while about 5,000 went as far as the base and turned back. } Pavixa Contract Awarpep.—The contract | for paving with asphalt the walk from the | Smithsonian institute building to 12th street | has been awarded to H.

Mr. Johuson, the principal reader, ia a staunch Minnesota republican and is ‘ably endorsed. The assistant reader, Mr. Gilfrey, although supposed to be a democrat, is a valuable clerk and was retained when the political complexion of the Senate changed upon the recommenda- tion of nearly every republican Senator. The objection to the present reading clerks comes from Senators who occupy the rear seais. They complain that they cannot hear anything that is read from the desk because of the poor voices of Messrs. Johnson and Gilfrey. No ac- tion has yetbeen taken and none is expected until the committee on reorganization is ready to report.

CONGRESSMEN CALL UPON HIM IN BEHALF OF THEIR CONSTITUENTS, AND APPLICANTS APPEAR IN THEIR OWN BEHALF—GOSSIP AS TO SOME OF ‘THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES. The rushof people to shake hands with Presi- | settled dent Harrison in the east room this morning was not as great as it was yesterday and the day before. Much more of the President’s time was occupied with the privileged office-seekers and statesmen up in his private office. A mem- ber of Congress with the experience of several terms said to a Star reporter, after coming out from an interview with the Prestdent, that he had never in his life seen SUCH A RUSH FOR OFFICE. There are enough candidates for every place to fill them many times over, and the Congress- men, full delegations and all sorts of local in- fluence is being brought to bear on the Presi- dent in their respective interests, The making up of a cabinet is nothing in the way of harass- ment to the filling of lesser offices, But in this matter, a8 in allother, President Harrison keeps cool and moves no more rapidly than he deems proper. At the reception to-day, when an eager crowd were passing forward in bunches to shake hands with tise; he paused and said quietly: “One at a time,” and after that they came one atatime. So it is with the office- seekers; he has an impressive way of telling them “one ata time” and no hurry, IN THE EAST ROOM. At half-past 9 o'clock this morning he ap- peared in the east room and received the inter- state commerce railroad men. Behind them came all of the general public then assembled in front of the White House, which made by no means as large a crowd as was assembled yes- terday. There were not more than a thousand hand-shakers all told at the morning reception, which lasted until a little after 10, The Pres- ident then went upstairs to his office. There he saw a great many callers who, from their posi- tion and acquaintance, claimed the privilege of a special audience, Most of them were there to talk about offices; a few seeking for themselves and the rest looking out for the interests of their constituents, Among the earliest callers was Senator Allison with Mrs. Governor Larrabee, who wanted to see the President be- fore starting for her home on the morning train. Among the others received privately were ae bceestntiree Lehlback, Romeis, son, Henderson, of Illinois; Anderson, of sas; Grosvenor, Nutting, Coleman, Browne, of Indiana; McKenna, Kelly, Boutelle, Conger, Keed, Thomas, Steel, Senators Cullom, Far- weli, Spooner, Jones, of Arkansas; Hawley, Platt, Teller, Stockbridge, MetMillan, Dolph, ex-Representatives Van Horn and Pettibone, ex-Postmaster-General Key, Hon, A. M. Clapp, Gen. Schenck, Judge Moody, of Dakota. Attor- ney-General Miller saw the President down in the east-room with the crowd. A MICHIGAN DELEGATION. At 12 o'clock about a hundred Michigan people, headed by the Michigan republicans in the House, arrived by appointment and were received by the President in the east room. They were introduced by Representative Cutcheon. After them came the members of the national colored press convention, and then the general publfé, comprising about 2,000 people. ‘The President shows very little f e, Con- sidering the amount of hand-shi he has done during the past four days. This morning he shook hands with all who came, _ The fact that the President refuses to con- sider new appointments this week, does not deter epee A large ‘number of those who saw him in his private office presented the names of one or more for somé of the various prominent places at the tof the new administration, aud a number of applica- — were placed on file with Secretary Hal- for‘ GOSSIP ABOUT THE OFFICES. The Iliinois people are pressing Charles E. Carr for first-assistant postmaster-general, and A. Matthews, speaker of the Illinois House, for commissioner of internal revenue. It is said that James N. Houston, of Indiana, who was at one time in hopes of going into the cabinet, will be made United States Treasurer, to succeed Mr, Hyatt. Mr. Hyatt called on the President to- lay. There are numberless candidates for every prominent place under the administra- tion, Ex-Governor Furniss, of Nebraska, is spoken of for commissioner of the general land office, Ex-Assistant Secretary Chas. E. Coon is spoken of as a candidate for his old place, under Secretary Windom, William R. Holloway, of In apolis; Capt, Meredith, of Chicago; A. F. Childs, of this city; John Nichols, ex-member of the House from North Carolina, and John Paine, of New York, are among those prominently mentioned as candidates for government printer. Mr. New and Mr. Whitelaw Reid are understood to be candidates for honorable foreign missions. Ex-Senator Ferry, of Michigan, is said to want to represent this government abroad. Patrick Egan is said to want the Mexican mission, ‘TREASURY RUMORS, The air in the Treasury department is full of | possibilities and rumors of candidates fly thick. First Controller Durham has resigned, to take effect at the pleasure of the President, and it is understood that ex-Controller Lawrence is pushing his claims for the place. Ex-Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue Evans, of Ken- tucky, is also a candidate. ‘here is thought to be a movement on foot to secure the retention of ‘Treasurer Hyatt in his position for a year, at least. The friends ssistant Treastrer Whelpley are active in efforts in his behalf to secure the treas- | urership in the event of Mr, Hyatt’s resigna- tion. There are many other cangidates. Ex- Representative Brumm, of Pennsylvania, and | Col. Tichenor, of the Distriet, both want to | sueceed ( ‘al Williams as third auditor, and Judge K y,a resident of Washington, is said to be after the second controliership, PLENTY OF APPLICANTS. There are a number of desirable places in the Post-Ofiice department and it goes without saying that there are plenty of applicants, For the position of first-assistant Gen, Huston, the chairman of the state paputions commit- tee. and A. D. Hazen, formerly third-assistant, are mentioned. Col.’ W, B. Thomson, the ex- second-assistant, is spoken of as Gen, Knott's ‘There are several sppticanta for the istant’s place, who will put in an ap- pearance when the other positions are filled. A number of names are mentioned in con- nection with the oftice of the generel railway | mail superintendent. Among these may be d Jokn Jamecon, who held the place the last republican administration; Paul of ka, ® prominent Grand Army man; Capt, White and Mr. V.

The name of Mr. George Francis Dawson, a resident of Capitol Hill, will be presented to President Harrison as a candidate for a District is hip. Ex-Congressman Hazleton, a resident of Capitol Hill, is also spoken of in the same connection, ~ THE PENSION OFFICE. Judge Doane, of Wilmington, Ohio, is men- tioned in connection with the position of com- missioner of pensions, The contest for this jiace is believed to be between Judge Doane, jen. Poole, of New bo] and ex-Representa- tive Brown, of Cincinnat Ex-Indian Inspector Pollock, of Dlinois, and Gen.

The delegation has come the conclusion that as the coast failed to WEBB STILL WORKING. Despite all the rebuffs he has met it is stated that Mr. Webb still has hopes of receiving a nomination from President Harrison as repub- lican Commissioner through the powerful aid of the great corporation combine that worked 80 energeti€ally to secure his reappointment by President Cleveland and his confirmation by the Senate. The District republicans say, how- ever, that the attempt is too barefaced to have any show of success, SOUTHERN APPOINTMENTS, Mr. Everett S. Swaim the colored president of the "longshoremen protection association, of New Orleans, and J. M. Richards, of the cot ton yard organization, are in Washington as the Feprescntatives of the labor organizations of New Orleans, bearing a petition to the Presi- dent protesting against the appointment of P. B. 8. Pinchback to any position, and 4 him to appoint in the south men who will be acceptable to the people of the south, such as C. C. Antoine, Chas, B. Corlson, Col. Jas, Lewis, tate Patty, Chas. A, Bourgeois and G. D. les, THEY WANT THE EARTH. “There are prominent Kansas applicants for every position which the administration has to give way,” said Senator Ingalls this morning to @ Sraz reporter who inquired of him as to what Kansas wanted of sident Harrison. “We have our eyes,” he continued, ‘on all the offices, great and small. That's compre- hensive enough, isn’t it? Of course, some of us are after more important places than others, but it really wouldn't do to be specific just et; that would give away our hand. and no Kateas office-seeker does that. We are nat- urally quiet. When we move on the “ges we dispense with brass bands and torches, and we generally succeed in getting there in the dark.” Mr. Clark Montgomery, of Cincinnati, and Judge Mason, of West Virginia, also are candi- hee for the internal revenue commissiover- ship. r. Chas. E. Coon wants to be controller of currency, and it is understood that the assist- ant secretaryship is open to him. : Mr. H. C. Burchard wants his old place as di- rector of the mint. THE FIRST MEETING OF THE CABINET is called for this afternoon. The President has decided to receive Congressmen and other offi- cial callers between 10 and 12 o'clock in the morning, and the general public between 12 and 1:30. About 3,000 ple were in front of the White House at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and the President renewed his public reception. A card reception to the Indiana people will be given this evening at 4:30 o’cloc! CAPITOL TOPICS. & DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS. The democratic Senators held a brief caucus to-day: to select a committee to look after the interests of the minority in the reorganization of the Senate. Senator Beck was unanimously selected chairman of the caucus committee, and during his absence Senator Gorman was chosen chairman pro tempore. Senator Kenna resigned the secretaryship of the caucus, and his colleague, Senator Faulkner, was selected as his successor. The committee will be an- nounced Monday. ‘There was a general talk on the subject of committees, after which Senators Gorman, Cockrell, Harris, Ransom, Voorhees, Walthall, and Blackburn were appointed a committee to confer with the republicans on the subject of rearranging the select and standing commit- tees, SENATOR STEWART AND SILVER. Senator Stewart says he intends to test the sense of the Senate on his silver resolution at the first opportunity. He appreciates the fact that no legislation can be enacted during a special session, but his resolution is in the nature of an instruction or a —— to the Secretary of the Treasury. Under the law he has the discretion to act on the suggestion without any other legislation on the subject. MR, CARLISLE’S GAVEL GONE. The gavel which Speaker Carlisle has used to preserve order in the House, and which, by custom, became his property on adjournment, is gone, and nobody seems to know where. Mr. Carlisle left it on his desk when the House ad- journed, and five minutes later the piece of ivory was missing. Persistent inquiry and careful search has failed to discover its where- abouts, TO-DAY'S CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. The Congressional Record, containing the proceedings of the Senate yesterday, consisted, like its immediate predecessor, of but one sheet, and all its news was as follows: “Prayer by the chaplain, Rev.

He Hated to Spend Money on Himself, “But Gave Vast Sums to Charity. Puapecpnia, March 7.—Isaiah V, William- son, the venerable millionaire philanthropist, died at 4 o'clock this morning. Mr. Williamson wes perhaps the richest bachelor in the United States. Me was born at Penn's Manor, Buck's | county, Pa., eighty-seven years ago. He was the son of a poor farmer and bad many early privations. He worked on the farm in the summer time and attended the village school in the winter. Reaching the age of twelve years he secured a position in a country store at Fordingham, Backs county. His salary was meagre, but he was industrious, and remained in the store until he was about twenty years old, when he concluded to come to Philadelphia to seek his fortune. After a varied commercial experience, in which he developed great busi- ness ability, he became a member of the firm of Williamson, Burrough & Co., who carried on the dry goods business on Market street above 2nd. He was successful in business, and re- tired from active work many years ago, WITH A FORTUNE AGGREGATING MILLIONS. He was not contented to remain idle, how- ever, and upon retiring from the dry goods business Mr. Williamson went on 3d street and became an active figure in financial circles, He | bought stocks and bonds of all decriptions,but not for immediate sp ion. Everything he acquired he held. and if it was not a dtvidend- aying stock at the time he kept it until it ecame such, He studied the reports of rail- | road companies and became thoroughly in- formed as totheir earning powers and made very few mistakes in his investments. The | fortune he had when he retired from the dry goods business grew rapidly under his judicious | investments, and at the time of his death he was regarded as the richést man in Philadel- phia, Mr. Williamson never married, appear- ing in his younger daysto be TOO BUSY FOR LOVE AFFAIRS. He occupied nearly all his time making money. It is said, however, that he was very fond of dancing, and was always on the floor at | the summer balls and hops at Saratoga for | many years, He was known there as “the rich | bachelor from Philadelphia,” and was conse- quently never at a loss fora partner. Mothers with marriageable daughters used various schemes to entrap him, but in vain, He re- mained a bachelor and delighted to tell, years afterwards, of the gay times he had at Sara- toga. His economical habits, acquired in early youth, etuck to him in later years,and as he grew older he appeared to have an increas- ing aversion to spending money upon himeelf. A gentleman who knew him well said that it was easier for him to give away $10,000 than to purchase a suit of clothes for himself. He CARRIED ONE UMBRELLA FOR OVER FIFTEEN YEARS, and was always seen wearing clothes of ancient cut and faded and threadbare appearance. Notwithstanding his disinclination, however, to spend money upon himself, Mr. Williamson has been a charitable man all his life, and has iven liberally to all worthy objects. Be has, Coons, been averse to publicity, and has en- joined secrecy as to the giver upon many insti- tations that have been benefit by him. The House of Refuge received $100,000 from him prayer that the President may issue his procla- mation soon, and deciare the conntry open te settlement at once aud not set the date abead, as it is feared he will ao. el Arabs Clamor for Revenge. 4 DHOW FIRED ON BY A GERMAN GUNBOAT axD THE ABAB CAPTAIN KILLED.
