Mrs. Clevelend, who is hoving a nice, quiet visit with her mother up in Buffalo, has refused pretty nearly all the invitations offered her, so that she could enjoy im- munity from the social attentions that would naturally be showered upon her at her old nome. This course has, however, not suited Buffalo society, and there is a disposition to make some fussy comment over it. Mrs. Cleveland did not go away because her health was likely to suffer from the constant entertaining that she kept up here during the spring, but to enjoy a long- promised visit with her mother, it is rather hard on Buffalo that its social leaders can- not have Mrs. Cleveland to grace some function or other three times a day during her stay, but they must be content with the honors they already enjoy and come to Washington if they want to see the mis- tress of the White House entertaining or otherwise attending to the duties of her lofty position. Mrs. Cleveland will return here tomorrow, Ex-Secretary and Mrs. John W. Foster will sail from Yokohama on the 25th of this month, and after landing in San Fran- cisco they will go down to Coronado Beach to make a little visit with Mr. and Mrs. Nordheft before starting east.

Should this plate show better re- sulis than the one an inch thicker, so badly shattered on Saturday, ordnance officer: will still have hope of a successful outcome | of the next trial of the 18-inch armor. —— Their Annual Cruise. Arrangements have been made at the Treasury Department for the annual cruise of the revenue marine cadets on the pra tice ship Chase. This will be the first cruise of this vessel for four years, when the course at New London for revenue cutter officers was abolished, in view of the pros- pects of securing graduates from the Naval Academy for appointments to the service. There are now twelye cadets undergoing theoretical studies at 'New London prepara- tory to their firsi practical cruise at sea. Capt. Congdon, who commands the vessel, will leave New London early next week for European waters, where cruises will be made until late in the summer, when the ships will return home for winter exercises.

The Treasury Department has promulgat- ed a recent decision of the United States Supreme Court, which reverses previous rulings of the department, that imported goods destined for immediate delivery at an inland port were to be treated as though the {nland ports were the ports of original impcrtation. The court decided, on the cortrary, that the pert of importation is | the pert of first arrival, and that the term of warehousing privileges and general or- der privileges dates from the arrival of the goods at the outward port. This decision foduces the period under which goods may be held in warehouse at interior ports by | the time consumed in their transportation | thereto. Frien p Lodge of Good Templars.
