In short, the first day of this fifteenth annual event was too great a success for comfort.

None are sold on trust, but” tickets placed on sale and not used may be returned not later than March 6 and the money will be refunded. ORGANIZATIONS THAT MAY COME. The second annual convention of the South- ern Intercollegiate Monumental Association is to be held in Richmond March 2 and 3. The | corresponding secretary of the association has written to the committee on civic organizations that if suitable assignment can be made for them in the civic parade they will be willing to come on in a body to participate in the inaugu- ration, Mr. Frank M. Sevier of Wilmington, secre- tary of a committee from the Bayard Legion of Deiaware, was in this city last night looking | over the ground preliminary to making ar- rangements for that organization to come on for the 4th of March. ‘THE MUSIC FOR THE BALL. The matter of securing the music for the in- augural ball and the promenade concert is re- ceiving a great deal of attention from thechair- man, Mr. W. H. Slack, and the mem- bers of the committee on music. Mr. Sousa has been in the city for several days to secure the contract, if possible, for Sousa’s great concert band of Chicago. He bim- self was the authority for the ntatement that he would do nothing to prejudice the chances of the Marine Bund, of which he was for- morly the conductor. “There has been a strong, feeling among the members of the committee in favor of giving the contract to the Marine Band, but no definite action was taken in the matter until the committee could learn deti- nitely what was wanted for the promenade and sacred concerts. At tho ball it is the plan to have, as in years past, band for promenade music and a mammoth string orchestra to fur- nish inspiration for the dancers.

Any failure to comply with this provision shall be re sorted to Congress by the Commissioners.” The control of the bridges in the District is given to the Commissioners in the following words: “And the control of bridges, except the aqueduct bridge across Rock creck, is hereby conferred on the Commissioners, and they are required to make such proper regulations as they may see fit for the safety of the public and for the lighting and the police patrol of the same."” THE WASHINGTON AQUEDUCT. Under the Washington aqueduct clause tho following provision is addea: “That no portion of the water conveyed or to be conveyed through or by means of the Washington aque- duet or any appurtenances thereof «hall diverted to the supply or the use of any build- ing, premises or establishment located outside of the existing limits of the District.” Toward improving the receiving reservoir by the works required for cutting off the drainage into it of polluted water and sewage from the surrounding country, for the purchase or con- derunation of the smallamount of land required for the purpose and for the excavation neces- sary at the head of the reservoir au_appropria- tion 18 made of $75,000: Provided, That the whole cost of the work shall not exceed the sum of $150,000, to be done by contract or otherwise as the Secretary of War may deter- mine: Provided further, That notwithstanding the limitation prescribed by the acts of Con- gress approved July 15, 1882, and February 26, 1885, the Secretary of War be, and he is hereby, authorized to pay to Thomas Ready the sum of 2470.90 out of the unexpended balance of the appropriation of 251,375 to pay for land to extend aqueduct, made by the act entitled “An act to increase the water supply of the city of Washington, and for other par- poses,” approved July 15, 1882, which sum shall be in fall for the appraised value of land owned by the said Thomas Ready and taken by Agree. ‘The Norfolk and Western bill will not have o smooth passage through the Senate District committee, even with the amendments added to it that baye been printed in Tae Stan to make the bridge at the Three Sisters a highway for all roads that desire to use it and requiring first-class terminal facilities The «ubcommit- tee having the bill in charge, composed of Bea- ators Faulkner, McMillan and Gibson, held « the subcommittee has = different reganding the measure and they wore unable to Teach a compromime.

Mr. Cleveland's anxiety to settle the silver question before the end of this Congress is li- able to result in a compromise in the House. The anti-silver men see, as the time approaches for the Andrew bill to be brought up in the House, that the silver men ate organizing for & very determined opposition, and they are anxious about the result of the fight. Therefore proposition coming from some of the less extreme silver men, through Li ingston of Georgia, for a compromise is favor- ably received by many. The proposition is that the purchase of silver under the present law be stopped; that all the silver bullion in the treas- ury at this time be coined, and that hereafter the government purchase no more silver, but coin two millions a month of American product on presentation at the mint by the owners. the coins to be taken away by the owners and not to pase into the possession of the government through the mint. .
