RECEIVED AT THE STATION BY GEN, SCHOFIELD— MEMBERS OF THE PARTY —AN AFTERXOON BREAKFAST AT THE AULINGTON—APARTMENTS OCCUPIED BY THE ROYAL PARTY. A very moist piece of bunting was the tricolor which hung this morning from the flagstaff which tops the roof of the newer portion of the Arlington Hotel. Occasionglly a little gust of thoroughly humidified breeze would lift the dripping folds and display to anyone who might happen to be looking that way the colors of La Belle France, ‘There never war a foreign fiag on that staff before. From its veteran companion, the pole on the old building, the flags of all nations have floated at various times, but the stars and stripes have heretofore monopolized that fin- ished product of asturdy pine which was tho last work on the exterior of the new structure. In honor of the Count of Paris the starry banner has been furled and the fing under which France has done a good deal of fighting and rejoicing—to say nothing of the fighting | and weeping—has taken its place in the most exalted situation known to either Col. Roessle or Manager Bennett, ARRIVAL OF THE PARTY. The count and his party were expected to arrive at the Baltimore and Potomac depot at . 1:40, bnt it was nearly 2 o'clock before the train steamedsiowly in, Threo minutes later and the distinguished visitors wore at the Arlington, First to alight was Gen. Schofield, and in order that he might not get too wet acolored porter _ held over his head a \ large and decidedly an- SStique umbrella; “good \ enough howeror,to keep Nithe rain off, Le Comte IN de Paris following close- after the general and Sthen came the Duke Faroreans and the Duke C fee, That emptied Gen, Schofield’s car- riage, COUNT OF PARIS. ‘The other members of the party, escorted by Gen. O. O. Howard, Gen. Butterfield, Col. Nicholson of Philadelphia and Lieuts, Bliss and Andrews of Gen, Schofield’s staff, were Dr, Ro- camier, the Count d’Haussonville, Capt Mor- chain, Col. de Parseyal and the Marquis de Lasteyrie. Ali entered by the main doorway of the new annex and were greeted by Col. Roessle. They were conducted to their rooms on the floor above where Manager Bennett was busy as the proverbial beo, but lacking that insect’s sting. THE BREAKFAST, The breakfast table was set inthe dining room—set for ecight—but the count of Paris in- sisted on the number being incroased, so that Gens. Howard and Butterfield might also have an opportunity to cat something. Gen. Scho- field had hisluach before he went to the de- ot. PrThe visitors were very mnch pleased with the hotel arrangements and so expressed them- selves. They sat down to their meal within twenty-five minutes from the time of their ar- rival. ‘The specially invited guests at the dinner to be given the distinguished foreigners this evening by Gen. Schofield will be tary Secretary Noble, Admiral Franklin, Gen, Rosecrans, Gen, Augur, Gen. H. H. Wright, Gen, Hart, Gen. ‘Casey, Gen. Breckinridge, Gen. Vincent, Gen, Me- Keever, Col, Coppinger, Gen. 0. 0. Howard, Gen. Butterfield and Col. Nicholson. — The dinner will be at the Metropolitan Club House. THE PRINCE'S APARTMENTS. ‘Tho apartments occupied by the royal party aro the most spacious and in many respects the most magnificent ever at the disposal of any traveler. They comprise nearly the entire first floor of the new annex, and, enumer- ated, are a parlor and dining room, eight siceping rooms, between each two of the latter being a bath room. Iu addition to these the count has for his own use a private parlor and ubath room. The unique feature of the rooms is the fact that they all connect with each other and that all the rooms are next to the street, ‘The furnish- ing is more than ordinarily artistic and de- cidedly comfortable, The bed rooms are fin- ished in mahogany; tapestry adorns the par- lors, while the fittings of the dining room are of oak and leather, THE ITINERARY. ‘This evening the Count of Paris and party wil dine with Gen. Schofield and tomorrow purpose: visiting several places of interest in and around the city. At 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon the count and his suite will leave on the steamer George Leary. and the program is that connection shall be made at Old Point with the James river boat, on which they will godirectly to Richmond, There will be no stop at Norfolk ‘Iwo days will be spent ia Richmond and then the proposition is to go up to Fredericks- burg and over the fields of the Wildernoss and Chancellorsville, From thence a return will be made to this city, when President Harrison will do the honors for the nation. Antietam and Gettysburg will be visited bo- fore the party gocs to New York and West Point. It is not improbable that the count may visit Canada, but no conclusion has been reached as yet on that matter. THE COUNT OF PAnIs. Louis Philippe Albert, Prince of Orleans, Count of Paris, who arrives here today, is the grandson of Louis Philippe, King of France, and thug descended from the great house of Orleans, ‘The Count of Paris was born in the Tuileries on St. Bartholomew's day, August 24, 1435, and has therefore just passed his tifty-second birthd: The direct male line of Louis XIV being extinct, with the insigniticant exception of Don Carlos of Spain, the title of the Bour- bons to the French throne descends to the direct male line of his brother. the Duke of Orleans, above mentioned. This constitutes the claim of the Count of Paris and this 1s why his friends and supporters think he ought to be wearing the crown of France today. Ho is the head of the house of Orleuns, although he prefers to cali himself Count of Paris rather than Duke of Orleans, The latter title he has bestowed on his elder son, who accompanies him. When the war of the rebellion broke out the Count of Paris, then by the death of his tather and grandfather the head of his family, tendered the services of himself and his brother to the American people on the sido of the Union. Arriving in Washington, accompa- nied by his uncle, the Prince de Joinville, he was tendered a position on the staff of Gen, | McClellan, in command of the Army of the Potomac. ‘The Prince de Joinville went through the campaign with his young orphans, but he would accept no rank on the staff. For more than a year the Count of Paris, then a young man of twenty-three, served with McClellan, perdcipating in all the battles of the Army of the Potomac, When the interference of Louis Napoieon in Mexico threatened to dis- turb the pleasant relations between the United States and France the count deemed it advis- able to retire from our army and return ounce more to England. —->__ The Challenge Was Sent. 'T. E. Robertson, secretary of the Arlington Wheelmen, said today that be posted the chai- lenge to the Columbia Cycle Club for the twenty-mile race the latter part of last week. If the Columbias have not received the chal- lenge the Arlingtons respectfully request that they accept this printed one instead of the one sent through the mail, As no letters were de- livered on Sunday the president of the Arling- tons suggests that the action of the corre- sponding secretary of the Columbia Club in inserting the notice in yesterday’s STan was rather premature. ———__ A Year in Alaska. Lyman E. Knapp, the governor of Alaska, in his annual report to the Secretary of the Inte- rior gives an account of the condition and re- sources of the territory. During tho year he states that about 100,000 full-sized seal skins were taken by the Alaska Commercial Company under their contract with the gov- ernment. Probably half as many more, the governor thinks, were captured at sea and stolen by poaching vessels, Ho speaks of the value of the fur and fishing interests and the mineral products, The value of the exports last year was nearly ten millions. Of this amount, among other items, werp a million representing tho value of the whale- bone, two millions the seal fur and two millions the gold bullion. Tho governor recommends that provision be made for ge ge title to lands; the passage of a town site law adapted to Alaska: an extension of mail facilities; that some plan be adopted for giving laws to Alaska, Astrike is imminent on the Houston and Texas Central railway in consequence of the Getermination to o1 colored switchmen. CHANGES AT THE WHITE HOUSE, THE LUTHERAN COUNCIL. The President’s Office to Be Moved to| Many Ministers Here to Attend the Another Room, Anumber of changes will be made in the official portion of the White House during tho President's absence in the west. The library, horetofore used by tho President as his office, will be fitted up as a sitting room for the use of the family, and the President will hereafter conduct all official business in the room next to the cabinet room, now occu- pied by Private Secretary Halford. Prosi- dent Lincoln used this room as his private office, and it was there he signed the emancipation proclamation. The large oak desk made from the timbers of the British ship Resolute and presented by Queen Victoria to the President of the United States dnring President Hayes’ administration, and which has been used by every President since, will be re- moved to Gen. Harrison's new office. The pri- vate secrotary’s oftice will be moved into the small room in the sontheast corner occupied by Assistant Secretary Pruden and the executive clerks who will in’ turn be transferred to the large room on the north front, heretofore oc- cupied by Disbursing Officer Crook. It is stated at the White House that these changes are ne- cessitated by the crowded condition of the dwelling portion of the building. HARD TRIALS FOR LIQUOR MEN. The Commissioners Will Endeavor to Reduce the Number of Saloons. Commissioner Douglass will make a great effort, he says, to reduco the number of saloons in this city, He will adhere to his old rule of not granting licenses to more than four saloons in a block, and urge the necessity of the same upon the other Commissioners, Commissioner Ross is giving the subject much attention, but just what he proposes to do in the way of re- | form is not known, as he declines to be inter- viewed. It is understood, however, that he will {show no quartergto violators of the law. Col, Robert still remains at home sick, but later reports say that ho is rapidly convalese- ing. It is expected he will be on hand by the Ist. Anintimate friend of Col. Robert's speak- ing the other day in relation to his leniency with violators of the law said toa Stan reporter: “You will find the colonel a very different man this year, and I would’nt give much for the chance a man has of getting a license who has violated the law this year. I think the col- onel will positively refuse to sign any license of aman who has violated the law during the pre license year, especially in the face of the hard times experionced by thom in obtain- ing licenses last year.” we ls INSPECTING THE MODELS. The Commission of Postmasters Still at Work at the Department. ‘Tomorrow will be aweek since the commis- sion met at the Post Oftico Department to re- port upona design fora post office box for private residences, A large number of citizens have endeavored to facilitate the work of the commission py sending in models and designs, Itis estimated that come twelve or thirteen hundred models and designs haye been received. In addition some forty or fifty inventors came in in person and explained to the commission the merits of their designs, The commission are holding daily mectings and are endeavoring to make up their minds in regard to the merits of the designs. Mr. Corse, the chairman, who is the postmaster at Boston, said today with a sigh that ke was get- ting very tired, and Capt. Sherwood, the postmaster of this ci remarked in a discouraged tone that they were not near through. The commission meet in an upper room in the Post Office Department building and the designs are ranged ona long table, giving the room the appearance of a mechanical exhibition. The commission have two clerks who assist them in handiing the models and making a record of them, and they hope after awhile to be able to decide upon some report to be made to the Postmaster Gencral. It is among the pos- sibuities that the department — will purchaso the box approved by the commission and furnish it to householders who will consent to attuch it to their front doors, DISTRICE GOVERNMENT. A MERRY-GO-ROUND NOT A VEHICLE. ‘Tae Star has referred to the complaints of the residents in the vicinity cf the merry-go- round at the corner of Lith street and Wallach place. The owners of the merry-go-round were operating under a license for’ the trans- portation of passengers, for which they paid a tec of $10, A question was then raised by those interested in the removal of the merry-go-round, as to the license fee charged, they claiming that £10 per year was not sufficient. The matter was referred to the attorney for the District and today the Commissioners received au opinion from the assistant attorney, Mr. Thomas, in which he holds that inasmuch as a merry-go-round is not avehicle for the transportation of passengers, nor the proprietor a common carricr, It should be subject toa tax of $3 per day or $10 per week, THE NEW LICENSE YEAR. Already eighty-four applications for retail liquor licenses have becn filed, and more are coming in every day. ‘Tho new license year begins November the ist, and applications nust be filed with the assessor together with the fee required at least ten days before that time, WASHINGION’S SEWERS, Speaking of tho sewerage system of Wash- ington toa Sran reporter Capt. Lusk said: “The sewerage systems of most cities as origin- ally designed were most too small to carry off storm water of excessive rainfalls. To’ this rule the carlicr sewerage of the District was no exception, It is only as a compara- tively recent period that observation and experience have shown mtch larger dimen- ns to be necessary than vas the case a few years ago, No trouble has been found to arise with the recent constructions in this city, although the relation between the diecharg aud the rainfall is now a subject of investiga- tion by me.” es Transfers of Real Estate.
