Ricumoyp, May 28.—Richmond is wild with excitement over the Lee unveiling. All trains are delayed, and there is already a greater crowd here than at any time since the war. Tomorrow, the unveiling day, there will be twice as many more people here. Confederate flags are in demand and sell at fancy prices. Small ones are bringing $3 a piece, Gen. Jubal Early is driving around town in his confederate gray and is being cheered everywhere. Gen, Longstreet drove up from the depot this morning at any early hour and was cheered on the streets. A promi- nent republican and an ex-confederate re- marked today that Mahone had made a great mistake in not accepting the invitation of the unveiling committees to be present. With all the bitter prejudice against Mahone in Richmond had he come to honor the memory of Lee he would have made a ten strike. Everybody is talking about his declination. Several of the colored barbers have decorated their shops handsomely and two of these shops display confederate flags. Colored military have requested the committee to allow them to join in we parade tomorrow. ————— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market.

RANDALL’S SUCCESSOR, The New Representative from Philadel- phia Receives a Cordial Greeting. “The new Representa- tive from Mr. dail's old district in Pennsyl- vania entered on his ‘wy been so well heralded "By by the newspapers that his appearance on the floor was anxiously , looked for. As a fore- runner to Mr. Vaux's entrance to the cham- ‘ ber his desk on the REPRESENTATIVE VAUX. front row at the extreme left was fairly covered with flowers, The desk was surrounded at an early hour by admiring members and newspaper men. A splendid basket of roses was frem several constituents in Philadelphia. Mrs. Wallace sent a large bunch of Marechal Neils, while towering above all was a MAGNIFICENT EXHIBITION OF THE FLORIST'S ART. It was a huge keystone of massed flowers, sur- mounted by a shield, a scroll and a horn of lenty, Above all dangled the scales of justice. he whole piece was fully three fect in height. in blue letters across the keystone were the words “Philadelphia Naneto.” This was for some time A PUZZLER TO THE ADMIRING MULTITUDE. It was, however, decided at length that the florist’s Latin was slightly off, and that the sentence was meant to be ‘Philadelphia Maneto,” meaning, as all Tue Srar’s readers of course know, ‘Let brotherly love remain.” Below this inscription was another, equally mysterious. The simple letters E.S.P. were inscribed also in blue Rowers. Various guesses were made at this, and it was almost de- cided that the meaning was “every soldier a pension,” until it was remembered that was not the element Mr. Vaux drilled with. The suspense was ended finally by having the tet- ters translated as “Eastern State Penitentiary, from the directors of which institution the floral piece came. MAKING ACQUAINTANCES, Mr. Vaux was greeted on all hands on his entrance to the floor. He remained under the guardianship of Representatives O'Neill and Biggs until after the ceremony of swearing in, when he started out to gct acquainted with his fellow members, From the easy and graceful wey with which Mr. Vaux would make acquaintances and the number of introductions that were made it is safe to say that tho new member will before night be on easy terms with every member in the House, : SPEAKER REEDS BOMBSHELL. An Order Forbidding the Sale of Liquor in the House Restaurant. Certain gentlemen were walking about the basement of the Capitol about funch time to- day with a wild and famished look in their eyes. The House restaurant, which has been doing an active bar-room trade since the open- ing of Congress, suddenly went dry today. Lunches were served at the usual hour and at the usual prices of 50 cents for poor members of Congress and any price the restaurant keeper chose to charge strangers, but there was not a drop to drink, Speaker Reed sent down an order at noon today closing the bar, just in time to de- prive thirsty members and others of their mid- day “‘bracre.” BUC TABLE WINE “IN ORIGINAL PACKAGES” STILT. GOES. The order prohibits the sale of whisky and beer,but the restaurant men construe it tomean that they can sell table wines in “original pack- ages.” Original packages will continue to be sold at table with lunch until another order is issued, “T's AN IL WIND,” ETC. There was a largely increased business in the Senate restaurant, much of which was at- tributable to the influx of members of the House who had learned of the prohibition in their own wing of the Capitol, TO GO WITH THE PRESIDENT.

The board of naval officers selected by the Secretary of the Navy to examine the new wooden dry dock at Norfolk, which was re- Ported to bave settled out of shape, have re- Ported to the department that after thor- } oughly testing the dock they do not find any- thing wrong with its construction. The report to the effect that the dock was defective was mage after the docking of the uew cruiser Baltimore, which was strained #o that her seams started. The contractors, the Messrs, Simpson of New York, imme- diately took the ground that if any such accident had occurred it must have been due to faulty handling of the ship rather than to the settlement of the dock, and the findings of the board fully justify this claim. The old frigate Franklin, which has lain in the mud off iosport yard as @ receiving ship for several hauled out and docked, her displace- ment being over 4,000 tons. There was a slight settlement noted during the docking. which disappeared when the ship was removed, but the cement about the culverts was not cracked in the least, CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD. The report of the board concluded as fol- lows: “The board is of the opinion that there was no distortion of the floor during the test, but the slight settlement was due to the com- pression of the several courses of timber under the weight, as is the case in the docking of all vessela. The movement shown is not sufficient to cause damage to any vessel. The dock is in good condition and no remedy is necessary.” This report has been approved by the chiefs of the bureaus of construction and repair, and = ‘ards and docks, and by the Secretary of the Navy. COMMODORE WILSON SAYS in his indorsement: ‘“Yhe bureau, in view of the board's repert, is of the opinion that any straining of the Baltimore, whereby any of ‘the butts of the plating cre reported by caused to weep, as Naval Constractor Bow! U.S.N., under date April 26, 1890, must have been produced by causes other than the settling of the dock, as alleged, the bureau therefore feels fully jasti- | tied im approving the report of the board and expressing the opinion that the structure will sustain without danger of straining any vessel which its dimensions will admi Nominations and Confirmations, The President sent to the Senate late yester- day afternoon the following nominations: Edmund W.
