At the south end of the rotunda a platform was erected, on which were a number of seats to accommodate the prominent personages of the occasion. Secretary Noble was expected = deliver the address on the reception of the statue. Mr. H. McMichael, the master of ceremonies, ealled at the White’ House this morning and invited the President as the guest of honor at the unveiling. Mr. Harrison told him that ries fake ‘shis busy day, but that he ¢ the museum if he found it NUMBERS IN ATTENDANCE. Gradually the crowd that had separated after the adjournment of the morning session began ‘to gather again, and before 2:40 o'clock there was a fair number of people in tho museum, A few minutes before the appointed time Secretary Noble made his appearance and was at once escorted to the platform, where he held an informal reception, many of the officers and prominent members of the association be- ing introduced, as was also Mr. Hartley, the sculptor of the memorial. CHAIRMAN M' MICHAEL'S ADDRESS. Mr. McMichael, master of ceremonies, de- livered the opening address, Among other things, he said: Ithough it may seem ex- travagant appreciation of the man to whose memory we offer today lasting and substantial tribute, =I trust 1 do not misrepresent the voice of this associa- tion when Isay it isone of the most sig- nificant events that has ever happened in this American capital. Inspired by the thought that this body as only an in- considerable fraction of the thousands now engaged in various phases of the photographic art all over the globe might erect in suitable form an enduring monument to the founder of our craft and our profession, this association has ordered only a work to be executed. The statue is in conception entirely out of the common place or conventional, It presents simplicity in keeping with the camera, which, while one of the three greatest inventions of modern times, is also the most universal over the south by the very reason of its primitive character and processes of manipula- tion, Travelers all over the world carry with them the instrument that brings home such enduring memorials of their experiences. on camera has been the headlight of science. has explored the moon and the planetary sys- tem. ‘othe newspaper, the courts and the surgeon it has become a useful assistant, If buman kind be here considered may I not ask is this not better than steam ey land or sea, electricity or dynamite projectiles?

In response Secretary Noble made a brilliant extempore speech in which he eulogized Daguerre and enumerated the _ bless- ings he had conferred upon man- kind by his wonderful invention. He referred at some length to the debt America owed to France and what had been done in repayment. He spoke of the wonderful ad- vances that had been mmde in the art of photography since its days of its crude beginnings and of the great number of atents that have been taken out in this coun- ry, as shown by the records of the Patent Office. The Secretary's address was & pleasant tribute to the photographers end their art. At its conclusion he unveiled the memorial to Daguerre, the inventor of the art of sun painting. — BEER ON SUNDAY. Is the Act of 1857 Invalid as Well as That of 1853? Today in the Police Court Henry Raebe, the East Washington brewer, was charged with violating the law by selling beer on Sunday, ‘The prosecution was brought under the act of 1857. Judge Mills heard the testimony of sov- eral witnesses, who, he thought, tried to shield the defendant, and gave judgment against Raebe in the sum of 225. Mr. Oscar Nauck, who secured a decision holding the old act of 1853 null and void, yesterday expressed his be- hef that this act came within the same cate- gory, and tomorrow Mr. Sillers, who appeared for Mr. Raebe, will ask for a new trial to test the legality of the law.

No Action Taken on tt by the President So Far. EORET AT THE PROSPECT OF LOSING THE PRESEXT The resignation of Commissioner Hine has set the town into a fine state of expectancy, for in politics as in many other phaves of life mo sooner does an office holder die or resign but the great to every lip: him.” Interest in the man himself is sub- merged in the more expectant, stronger atten- tion to the probabilities of the future, and, though the tongue of Madame Gossip wags pretty steadily about the case, most of its motions are in the direction of the unknown. LITTLE TO BE LEARNED AT THR WHITE ROUSE. Of course all eyes are centered apon the White House, where sits the only man who really knows anything about the next Com- missioner. Indeed it is quite doubtful whether he has any more out the personality of this individual than any one else, for the vitua- tion is far from being sufficiently crystallized for action or even serious consideration. AStar reporter made a valiant effort this Morning to obtain some information from the Executive Mansion, that sphynx of politics, but was forced to leave the field, conscious of the alternative that either nothing was known there about the matter, or that whatever was known was unobtainable. Private Secretary Halford was the only one to whom access could be had, and he tnew nothing except that Mr. Hi had resigned from the District Commissi ‘ship, to take effect whenover the President should appoint his successor. NO ACTION YET. “The President has taken no action yet,” he continued, “and has not even accepted the res- ignation.” “Has anybody called here yet to see the President about the successorship?” queried the reporter, determined to learn the full ex- tent of the negative state of things. “No one that I have seen or heard of,” was the reply. “Has the President considered any names for the vacancy?” came another question. “He has not had time yet to do so. The resignation was only received yesterday.” “Will the applications for the vacauey which was filled by Mr. Hinc’s appointment be con- sidered now in this event?” “I do not know.” THE OLD APPLICANTS, “Who were those applicante?” “I really do not think there were any appli- cations filed here.” snid Mr. Halford. ‘Most of the work, for the positions was done by dele- gations and individuals calling personally on tho President. All that Lremember is that 8. J. Bowen was, I believe, an applicant, but he is a republican and theretore not eligible now. So it seems that the action in the event is being confined to a lot of solid thinking, some little wondering as to causes and a good deal of preliminary hustling around among the democrats, No particular candidature has de- veloped an existence as far as the President is concerned, COL, RAYMOND's REMARK. The caso was so clearly stated in last night's Stan that the people who are interested aro not doing much guessing as to the reasons for the explosion, A gentleman aid to the reporter: “The case is = in- teresting, indeed, but it simply fulfills a Prophesy made to me by Col. Ray- mond when he retired from the Engineer Com- missionership. In speaking of his successor he said: ‘Well, Robert is in for it,’ ” Thus it would seem that Col. Raymond felt the influence of coming events and fore- shadowed just such a tanglo as that which re- sulted in the resignation of Mr. Hine. ©OL. ROBERT DECLINES TO TALK. Col. Robert was the first Commissioner to ar- rive this morning. When approached by a ‘Star reporter he said: “Of course the whole thing is a prise to mo, but further than ¢ cline at present to say anything.” EXPRESSIONS OF REGRET. At the District building this morning ex- pressions of regret at the resignation of Mr. Hine were universal, for ho is a great favorite with the clerks of the District government. A general feeling of uneasiness pervades the at- mosphere and the clerks nover tire discussing the situation. They feel decidedly uncomforta- ble, for a change in @ commissionership may mean to some of them an introduction to the guillotine. During tho day Mr. Hine had a great many callers, numbering among them many prom- inent business men, All were universal in the opinion that Mr. Hine’s resignation was a great loss to the District. MR. HINS's SUCCESSOR. As Mr. Hine was the democratic representa- tive on the board of Commissioners, his uc- cessor will be appointed from that party. Among those spoken of for the position are Lawrence Gardner, Wm. H, Clagett, Noble D, Larner, ex-Mayor J. G. Berret, Wm. Dickson, Jesse B. Wilson, Jamee L. Norris, ex-Marshal A. A, Wilson, Gon, S. Henkle, Postmaster Ross, T. J, Luttrell, Wm, A. Gordon, Robert Christie, John Paul Jones. ————— FOR DISTRICT CHARITIES, Danger That the Appropriations Will Not Be Available for Some Time, eat sur- must de- Doubt has been raised by the District Com- missioners whethor any of the appropriations for District charities made by the District ap- propriation act can be expended until after appointment by the President and confirma- tion by the Senate of the superintendent of charities pivvided for by the act, and until that officer has examined the whole field, for- mulated a general plan for charitable work in- volving a possible redistribution of the several current appropriations, and such plan has been approved by the Commissioners, The work thus mapped out for such superintendent will necessarily consume much time after he is ap- pointed and confirmed. The treasuries of most of charitable institu- tions are empty, and if this view of the law be maintained much auffering and inconvenience will be occasioned. On behalf of some of these institutions, of which he isa director, Col. A. T. Britton has submitted brief argu- ment and has asked if the Commissioners con- tinue in doubt that they will submit the ques- tion- to Conptroller tthews for immediate sion. ———.—____ NOMINATIONS TODAY, Consular Appointments, Army Promo- tions, Ktc., omthe List Today.

Nettleton, assistant secretary of the Treasury, has returned to Washington from New York, where he spent some time in con- ference with prominent benkers in re- gard to the financial situation, He was in communication with ek Windom on the subject today, and it rill not be surprising if there is ht change in the government's bond buying Pre icy wil the next few days, Secretary Windom said just before leaving Washington that he had consid- ered a proposition for the redemption of the 4g per cont loan at par, but that be bad not reached a conclusion in the matter. He also said at the same time that he knew of no reason why the public should not be informed of the rates at ‘which the government was will- ing to buy silver, but as the director of mint thought otherwise he did not care to in- ‘terfere in matter just thea. He said would consider it more thoroughly on his re- A DIVIDED CAUCUS. ‘The Close Vote on Including the Elections Bill in Mr. Quay’s Resolution. THR REPUBLICAN SEXATORS Fall TO AGREE— ‘TER SPLIT ON THE ELECTIONS BILL—TALK OF AN AGREEMENT OF THE OPPQNEXTS oF THE BLECrIONS BILL WITH THE DEMOCRATS. As was expected, the discussion in the Sena- torial caneus last night was earnest, even ex- cited on both sides. The Senatora who are convinced that nothing ean be done with the federal election bill dur- ing this session were in the majority, but the Quay resolution was not adopted. There was n0 direct test vote on the resolution itself, The Hoar mndment to include the federal election biil among those in Senator Quay resolution to be considered before adjournment was offered in the caucus by Senator Spooner and was voted on and was defeated by the fol- lowing vote: Yeas—Allison, Blair, Casey.

Nays—Aldrich, Allen, Cameron, Davis, Dixon, Hale, Hiscock, Jones (Nev.), McMillan, Mitchell, Paddock, Pettigrew, Piumb, Power, Quay, Stockbridge, Teller snd Washburn—18, XO ACTION ON TRE QUAY RESOLUTION. ‘Then by general consent the Quay resolu- tion was laid aside. This course was followed ‘on account of the intense feeling on the part of those Senators who regard the federal election billjas legislation most important at this session and who charged that Mr. Quay betrayed his party when he offered his resolution. To have adopted any resolution postponing action on the election bill would have caused a split in the caucus and so divided the party as to have given them trouble for the rest of the session, putting ep end to all discipline. TALK OF AN AGREEMENT WITH THE DEMOCRATS. ‘The men in favor of postponing the bill wil! attempt to accomplish their purpose without too seriously humiliating the leaders ot the arty. Having demonstrated in caucus eir power to carry out an agrec- ment if made, they propose to make a Proposition to the Senators on the democratic side for an agreement by which formal action on # resolution in the Senate may be avoided, in deference to Mr, Hoar and hie followers, The proposition will be that the Democrats permit the tariff bill to be disposed of as xoon as possible, aud let the udvocates of the fed- eral election bill make three or four speeches on it, the Republicans being pledged to then postpone the further consideration of the fed- eral election bill uutil next session, The democrats are aptto be suspicious of this proposition and the agreement may not be reached, except by the formal adoption of a resolution; but it is as certain as anything can be which is not fully accomplished that the election bill will not come up for final action at this session, THE DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF BILL. There is a growing feeling among the demo- cratic Senators that they ought not to sacrifice the full discussion of the tariff in order to se- eure the defeat of the election bill, but that they should continue to con- sider the McKinley bill carefully then and there, as they have beon doing up to this time. Some of them believe that they might defeat the billif they set about it with that determi: FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market.

Secretary Proctor and Gen. Schofield | The Senate Increases the Appropriation to Investigate. NORTHERN POSTS TO BE STRENGTHENED I¥ Cast OF TROUBLE WITH ENGLAND—TRE ERIE CANAL TO BE DEEPENED FOR GUNBOATS To REACH ‘THE LAkrs. Secretary Proctor will leave the city tonight for Marblehead, Mass, to spend a few days with his family. He will then go to Fort Niagara, N.Y., where he will be joined by Maj. Gen. Schofield, commanding the army. It is the intention of Secretary Proctor to make personal visit at this time to the eastern frontier posts with a view to determining their relia- bility im case of a possible war with England, and his investigations will extend to the possibilities of the situation as well as to what already exists. Visits will be made to the post at Sackett's Harbor and to Plattsburg barracks and possibly to Fort Brady on the Sault Ste, Marie, Mich., which is at one of the narrowest portions of the lake border line. At Fort Brady new barracks and other buildings are to be erected, the appro- Ppriations having already been made, and it it the desire of the Secretary to look over the ground and to establish the post in the best possible manner. He and Gen. Schofield have already recommended the enlargment of Plattsburg barracks by the addition of several companies, as they consider this to be a most important strategic point for the defense of the eastern part of the state of New York, They may look over the ground of the frontier between this point and Madison barracks, at Sackett’s Harbor, with a view to the establishment at some con- venient spot of a new post designed to cover the approach to the Iakes and to prevent in- roads from the north. WELLAND AND ERM CANALS. The Welland canal is the only hope that Eng- land has of being able to place a gunboat fleet on the lakes, and at the mouth of this means of communication the Secretary and general will pay some attention. The Secretary has recently had called to his attentions plan for the enlargement of the Erie canal, which is at present about six feet deep, with « view to its possible uso asa water way for defensive and offensive measures in case of war. A certain officer of the army has conceived the idea of opening up this canal to admit of the passage of light-draught gunboats from New York harbor, so that this country may be able to checkmate any naval maneuvers of England with a view to the occupation of the lakes, The vast amount of wealth and the large population of the cities which border our side of the lake shores render it almost neo- essary that this government should take some steps toward their protection, and this Erie canal project is receiving no little attention, THE SCHEME is to have the state of New York do the work, which would be inexpensive as compared with the original cost of that channel, and then to have the government issue a subsidy to the state in payment. Itis by no means improb- able that the retary may, with the sauthor- Congress, order a survey by engineer corps of the canal with a view to the determination of the cost of widening and deepening it so as to admit such vessels ‘be Yorktown, Petrel, Concord, Ben- nington, Vesuvius, &c. This would give a basis for calculation, and may meet with favor at the hands of Congress, THESE MAY BECOME LAWS. Various Matters in Congress and the Committee Rooms. Representative Caswell of Wisconsin today presented in the House a resolution providing that on ‘Tuesday, the 19th instant, the House shall proceed to the con- sideration of the Senate direct tax bill aud that at @ o'clock of that day the previous question shali be considered as or- dered on the bill and pending amendment, af any.
