The entire National Guard of Pennsylvania, consisting of sixteen regiments of infantry, three troops of cavairy and taree batteries, will attend Cleveland's inauguration. This statoment was made in Pittsburg last night on the authority of Adjt. Gen. Green- land. He said that he had just sent instruc- tions to Maj. Gen. Snowden at Philadelphia to send out his orders to the effect that the guard will participate in the inauguration exercises. “The boys will make a better showing than ever before and will surprise the people of other states. Their experience at Homestead made soldiers of them and they will carry themselves like veterans,” he said. GEN. M'MAHON IN THE CITY. Gen. McMahon of New York, grand marshal of the inaugural parade, arrived at the Arling- ton Hotel Inst night and had a conference with Col. Berret and Chairman Norris. Gen. Me- Mahon approved of the arrangements so far made for the purade, He will probably issue an order in a day or two to commanders of troops, instructing them regarding the formation of the parade and the position each command is to occupy. The military committee is stil quest of quarters that can be furnished military organi- zations free of cost, but it is highly improbable that accommodations of this character can be obtained except for a few detached companies. CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS. ‘The committee on civic organizations met last night, with Mr. Wm. Dickson presiding. ‘The subcommittee on regalia for the marshal and aids of the civic division of the parade sub- mitted sampics of sashes aud sacle cloths, but were given until the next meeting to submit a final report on the subject. The subcommmittee appointed to consider the advisability of establishing a special hos- ital and ambulance service for the 4th of larch recommended that no action be taken in the m ax the hospitals of the city nave ample fecicities for relieving all who are likely to be hurt or taken sick during the inaugura- tion. This recommendation was adopted. Chairman Dickson, marshal of the civic por- tion of the parade, eave that if nomore organiza- tions report to him those that have already been heard. from will amply sustain. the reputation this section of the procession haa gained in former years, He estimates that with the local organizations the civic parade is already as- sured of 20,000 men in line. i headed by from 300 to 500 men on horseback, acting as aids to the marshal. ADDITIONAL SUBSCRIPTION Additional subscriptions to the inaugural fund have been received as follows: 8. T. Thomas, $25: Tae Evextxo Stan Compasy, $500; Admiral 8. R. Franklin, 825; Dr. T. day, 825; . $25: Meredith, Winship & Co,, $100; Jere M. Wilson, $100; E. V. Marma- ; A. Lisner, 2100; J. B. Wimer, $50; J. D, Taylor, $100; F. J, Dieudonne, 825; T.A. Harding, $25; C. H. Davidge, €25; L. M. Saan- ders, #25, and J. F. Batchelder, &: Subscriptions up to last night had been re- evived to the amount of about $22,000, By the end of the week reports are expected in from members of the finance committee having subscription books in charge, which, it is confidently believed, will increase the sum to $35,000 at least. LOCAL MUSICIANS TO BE PREFERRED. Prof. Fanciulli, the leader of the Marine Band, said to » Star reporter this afternoon that in the work of increasing his organization to the number necessary for the inauguration he would in every case give proference to local musicians where it is possible, and that only as ‘a last resort will he c: in men from New York or other cities. It was ‘gely local pride as wellns pride in the abilities of the band that had weeured for them the contract and he in- tended to make it as completely as possible a local organization. Mr. Zimmerman, the lead of the Naval Academy Band. will probably lead the orchestra that is to furnish the dance music for the inaugural ball. THE LEADER'S NEW CORNET. The leader of the Marine Band is himself a practical as well as a theoretical musician and he intends to play an active part on inauguration day. He said not long ago that if he hada good cornet he would play in the band as it walks up the avenne, instead of simply march- ing at the head. This came to the ears of Rep- resentative Conn of Indiana and that gentleman has just presented Prof. Fanciulli with an un- usually handsome silver cornet that is richl; chased with gold, and this the new leader will use for the firat time in public when he marches with the inaugural parade. TO LIGHT THE PENSION BUILDING. ‘The House yesterday passed the following joint resolution: Resolved, &c., That the Com- missoners of the District of Columbia be, and they are hereby, authorized to permit the Western Union Telegraph Company and the United States Electric Light Company to tend overhead wires into the mn buildir and to such points along the line of parade as shall be deemed by the chief 1 con- venient for use in connection with the parade and other inaugural purposes, the said wires to be.taken down within ten days after the con- clusion of the ceremonies on 4, 1898. Favor the Repeal of the Sherman Law. Secretary Foster of the Treasury sent to the House today, in reply to a resolution. the names and location of banks, bankers, boards of trade and other organizations who have addressed him in favor of the repeal of the Sherman silver purchase law. The following is the list: National Exchange and other banks of Milwaukee, Wis; First National and other banks of Nashville, Tenn.; First and banks of Richmond, Va; other of Hart- and ap to last spring his record as sn officer ‘was good.

So far ‘as oan be learned the only interest this govern- ment has in the matter of the seizure of the Gilbert Islands by » British war vessel last epring is the mistreatment of the consul of the United States at that time by the commander of | the vessel. The consul reported that he had | been assnuited by the British forces, where- upon a protest was lodged with the govern- ment of Great Britain by our minister in Lon- don, under instructions frora the State Depart- ment, and assutances have been received that the officer responsible for the assault will be called to account for his action.

The district | attorney reviews the testimony, stating that that | tending to show that she threatened sui- | cide was exceedingly slight. After stating that Judge Cox declined to make any suggestion or recommendation, the district attorney cloves by saving: “The fact that two juries have concurred in their verdict upon the same ovidence, the state of the evidence itself and all the facts and cir- cumstances whichcame to my knowledge during the trial and since compel me to report that there was nothing developed in the trial of the case of itself, or in the proceedings subsequent thereto, that calls for the executive clemency by # commutation of the sentence. —_>——. STREET CAR SERVICE. A BIN to Farnish the Pablic With Better Accommodations. The Senate District committee have reported | favorably a substitute for the bill passed | last eossion by the House providing for an all-night street car service and giving to the Commissioners the power to regulate the time schedules and various other details regarding the control of the street car lines, | with a view to obtaining better nccommoda- tions for the public. ‘The bill as it passed the | House was unsatisfactory in some respecte and was referred by the Senate committee to a sub- committee conssting of Senstors McMillan, Hansbrough and Harris, The subcommitteo considered the measure at sume length and agreed on the following: That the cara operated on tho street railroads of the District of Columbia shall be of the first | class in respect to construction, pattern, size | and comfort afforded to passengers. Said cars | shall nt all times be kept clean nnd | in thoroughly good condition for public use: that the Commissioners of the District of Columbia shall have the power at any time to | prohibit the use of any car which they shall deem unfit for public use and such car sball not | again be operated until put in good condition. Sec. 2. Every street railroad shall provide and operate such number of cars as shall ren- sonably accommodate the public, and the! schedules of running cars and the rate of speed | on any road shall be changed or altered as the Commissioners of the District of Columbia may direct and the convenience of the public may require. See. § The bill recently reported providing for annual reports from all street railroads was | inserted, iS “Nat any street railroad company in the Distric. of Columbia which has changed or may change its motive power in accordance THE PENSION BILL.

It prohibits the transportation of merchan- dire from one American port to anothi American port through a foreign port, and was explained by Mr. Frye (Me.) as aimed at the foreign tramp steamers which evade the constwise laws by tnking merchandise from New York to Bremen of Antwerp and thence to San Francivco. The suggestion wi made by Mr. McPherson (N. J.) that the ad- ditional distance of 6,000 miles ought to be sufficient protection for domestic commerce, but Mr. Frye said that it was not. ‘The last calendar bill that was passed was Senate bill to amend the act of August 13, 1888, in reintion to the jurisdiction of the circuit courts of the United States. (It provides that any foreign corporation may be sued in any district where it may be found.) The conference report on the bill to restore tothe public domain a portion of the White Mountain Apache Indian reservation was pre- sented and agreed to, HOUSE. On motion of Mr. Wise (Va.) Senate bill was passed authorizing the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company to renew its bridge across the Big Sandy river. Mr. O'Neill (Pa.) presented a resolution of the legislature of Pennsylvania favoring the with law may, by a vote of the stockholders holding two-thirds of the stock, increase its | capital stock by the issue of so many addi- | tional shares as will, at the par value thereof, | | represent the actual cost of the said | change and that when the actcal cost of said change bas been or may be defrayed by the | issue of bonds or the creation otherwise of a | debt, the enid additional shares of stock sbail | be used for the eataataction of such debt.

A delegation appeared before the Senate com- mittee on appropriations today to show cause why Congress should make additional appro priation for the world’s fair. President Willits of the government board asked for $201,750 in order to enable the board to complete its exhibit, pack and ship it to Chicago and make it ready for exhibition, This sum, he jsaid, would bring — the total _appro- priation up to the $1,000,000 originally estimated as necessary. for the gov- ernment exhibit. Lient. Tassig. representing | the Navy Department, asked for $40,000 to fully equip aud man the brick ship. Jobu Boyd ‘Thatcher, in behalf of the national commission, wanted $570,850 to defray the expense of ing medals and diplo- mas and employing judges. The committee wished to know what proportion of the judges would be females, and the discussion that followed left that subject still in doubt, the commission promising that wo: men would be proportionately represented | among the judges. At President Palmer's re- quest, Mr. St. Clair, speaking in belilf of the commission, urged an original appropriation of $148,185 and @ deficiency appropriation of 227,000, which was to complete the commission's work. Mra, Potter Palmer was present and will appear tomorrow in behalf of the women. A Claim to = Square of Ground. Fannie P. Williams and others, by F. H. Mackey, have filed a bill against John W.

THE PENKION BILL. The House then proceeded in committee of the whole (Mr, Wilton, W.Va., in the chair) to the consideration of the invalid pension appro- priation bill. Mr. Mutchler (Pa.), in charge of the bill, stated that the appropriation recommended was $166,400,000. It was proposed to amend the measure so that amount would be reduced to 166,090,000. ‘The bill carried about $4,000,- 000 in excess of the amount that would be ex- pended during the curront fiscal yeau ‘This was the heaviest appropriation bill that had ever been before an American Congress, Only three years in the history of the government were the expenditures for a single year greater than could be the expenditures during the next fiscal year, ‘The committee on appropriations had come to the conclusion that there ehould be some re- trenchment; that reform in the granting of pensions must begin somewhere, and that the time had come when that reform should be in- augurated. It was not the desire of the com- mittee to deprive a Union soldier who was de- serving of a pension of any pension that be now received. There was nothing in tho bili that would take a penny from any pension that had been grantedsoa deserving soldier. The com- mittee hud recommended several amendments which it thought would institate« reform. The first—and he thought the most important—was that providing for, the transfer of the pension bureau from the Interior to the War Depart- ment. Such a transfer would lessen the amount of money appropriated for pensions, and would not deprive w single deserving soldier of the pension which he now bad or which he might hereafter obtain. The pension bureau could not be taken out of the arena of politics until it was put where political influ- ence did not count. NOT A POLITICAL BUREAU. Mr. O'Neill (Pa.) protested against the state- ment that the pension bureau was a political bureau, and he also protested against the propo- sition to lessen the number of disbursing off- cers. He called the attention of his to the exhaustive letter of Gen. W. H. Davis of Pennsylvania, formerly pension agent, upon the subject. ‘Mr. O'Neill also spoke of the groat ability of the surgical examiners appointed by the com- missioner of pensions, ‘MR. MUTCHLER'S ALLEGATIONS. Mr. Mutchler then proceeded to argue in sup- ort of tho changes in the pension laws recom- tions. There were, he thousands —and many thousands of ‘men — who were on pension rolls today who had made more money during the three months of their t than they had ever esrned bet never trument is the did not desire to ‘pension aren favalid an fer ns deste ataes eee | fused to.s foreigner who hea, besa’ injured som's title. yy aver that Julia D. | fighting for the preservation of the Union.
