The immigration bill now goes to the President, the last legislative step having been taken in the Senate yesterday after- neon by an agreement to the conference re- port on the bill.

Aside from these extensioi of the present law the bill inaugurates a hew system of restricting imm{graiion from border countries and designed to apply principally to immigraticn from Canada. he provisions are as follows: Section 4—That {t shall hereafter be un- lawful for any male alien who has not in good faith made his declaration before the proper court of his intention to become a citizen of the United States to be employed en any public works of the United States, or to come regularly or habitually inio the United States by land or water for the purpose of engaging in any mechanical trade or manual labor, for wages cr salary, returning from time to time to a foreign country.

At a banquet at the Ebbitt House last evening Commander-in-chief Clarkson of the Grand Army of the Republic was the guest of the Department of the Potomac. The commander-in-chief was escorted to the hotel from Grand Army of the Repub- Me Hall, after the annual encampment, by Chief of Staff J. B. Carter. Commander- in-chief Clarkson sat at the right of De- partment Commander McElroy. The vari- ous department officers presided over each of the other tables, all of which were taste- fully decorated with fruit and flowers. Schroeder’s orchestra played patriotic and other popular airs through the evening. The committee of arrangements consisted ot George E. Carson, Alva S. Taber, Abra- ham Hart, Almyne H. G. Richardson, Jacob F. Raub, Nathan B. Prentice and William P. Seville. The reception committee con- sisted of the department commander and the other officers, with Past Commander- in-chief S. S. Burdett, Past Junior Vice Commander-in-chief H. Dingman, and Past Departmen: Commanders F, H. Sprague, B. F. Hawkes, A. HG. Richardson, G. E. Carson, William Gibson, D. S. Alexander, M. Brooks, J. B. Burke, C. P. Lincoln, W. S. Odell, M. E. Urell, J. M. Pipes, A. Dinsmore, 8. E. Faunce, N. Bickford an M. T. Anderson. Among the guests were Prof. Willis L. Moore, Gen. C. H. Gros- venor, Col. George A. Woodward, Gen. George D. Ruggles, Robert W. Tayler, Capt. E. L. Zalinski, ex-Gov. T. C. Fletcher, Col. George H. Patrick and Sidney L. Willson, aid to commander-in-chief. Comnmiander McElroy acted as toastmas- ter. When Comrade McElroy announced the first regular toast, “Our Country,” the or- chestra played the national hymn. Mr. Charles H. Grosvenor was called upon, being introduced as a figurer and a prephet. He said one could hardly esti- trate the value of the country by process of reasoning, yet he knew of no better way to calculate it than by what It cost tc preserve it. He long ago reached the ecnelusion, considering the achievements of th great leaders of the Union armies and the suffering of the men shot and im- prisoned, that the true criterion was whether the individual did all he could, rd the capacity in which he found him- If for the Union. It was to’ the American soldier that was owed all that the country as worth today. Further on in his speech, referring to the Cuban situation, he said the administration should devote It- self to raising funds as assiduously as it ow does to suppressing liberty under the infamy of Spanish rule in Cuba. Our coun- try, with the treasury running $25,000,000 deficit a month, without the possibility, under the conditions existing now, of being ever any better, had turned the Attorney General's department and all the detective force in the country and every armed vessel to pounce upon the poor devils who were trying to get out from under the lash of } Spanish tyranny. Even the American ship was subject to the infamy of having female Parsengers stripped to ascertain whether they were bringing away some reports of the things that went on there in Cuba, and the government stood by and said not a word. Commander McElroy acted as toastmas- ter. General Ruggles, as the first speaker of the evening, told a rousing good story, which waked the boys up, and General Grosvenor followed him with a spirited talk or “Our Country.” He denounced the ad- ministration of public affairs which made a deficit of $25,000,000 a month and devoted the Department of Justice and the rev- enue cutter service to suppressing liberiy in Cuba. ‘The commander-in-chief responded elo- qvently to the toast “The Grand Army of the Republic. The other toasts were “Our Comrades Who Have Crossed the River,” drunk stand- ing, and the “Loyal Women,” by Col. Chas. F. Lincoln, and “Inauguration Day Weeth- er,” Prof. Moore. Besides those mentioned there were pres- ent J. H. Jerks, N. M. McCullough, H. G. Jacobs, C. C. Boyd, Hiram Buckingham, S. J. Block, Thomas 8. Hopkins, D. M. Good- acre, A. D. ; Charles A. Sumner, J. M. Edgar, William P. Seville, J. R. Haves, M. D., L. F. Randolph, James B. Lambie, Fe- ix A. Reeve, H. B. Titus, William H. Par- tridge, Capt. R. W. Tyler, P. J. Hoffiiger, Thomas M.

The democratic state convention of Michi- gan held to nominate a justice of the su- preme court and regents of the university, and to prepare a platform for the spring campaign, was called to order at Grand Rapids yesterday by State Chairman Fred. A. Baker. George W. Thompson of Grand Rapids was made temporary chairman. His speech was brief and perfunctory. He spoke in favor of the free silver platform and eulogized Mr. Bryan. After appoint- ment of committees the convention took a recess. The populist and silver party conventions assembled at the same hour. The democrats, silver republicans and Populists went into joint committee last night, and, after spending more than two hours making nominating speeches that were limited to five minutes each, nomi- nated George L. Yaple of Mendon for jus- Uce of the supreme court. The first ballot gave Yaple an overwhelming majority, and before the result was announced he’ was rominated by acclamation. Mr. Yaple is an ex-member of Congress and is now cir- cuit judge for the fifteenth circuit—Cass and St. Joseph counties. The nominees for regents of the universt- ty are: Stanley E. Parkhill (silver republi- can) of Ohowso, and Thorne Rupert (popu- lst) of Webberville. ——_-e-____ Damage by the Water Hyacinth. Treasury Inspector Anderson, located at Jacksonville, Fla., has made a report to the Secretary of the Treasury on the threat- ened obstruction to navigation on the 8t. John’s river by the water hyacinth. Mr. Anderson says that the plant was intro- duced into that section about five years ago by a gentleman, who planted it on his orange plantation, It first made its ap- pearance in the river affer a severe storm three years ago, since which time it has spread with such amazing rapidity as to now seriously interfere with the navigation of the river. The suction, feed Pipes and condensers of steamers are filled with them at times, causing annoyance and delay; logs, driftwood and floating debris ere caught by the plants, forming a mass, under the keels of the Tosscla Gis endangering boat, cargo, and, Mr. ler- son asserts, even the lives of passengers. ‘The presence of such immense Masses has been a source of great annoyance to the rallroad companies,‘ and in one. instance about $10,000 has ‘already. been spent in clearing the creeks and inlets. over ,which the road passes, fearing that the hyacinths and floating matter would endanger the. bridges. we peasan THEWHITE SQUADRON | The Vessels’ Crews May Participate in the Inaugural Parade. SECRETARY HERBERT FAVORS THE DEA The Efforts Made to Bring the West Point Cadets. GENERAL INAUGURAL NEWS Secretary Herbert told a Star reporter before he left for Charleston that he had the question of naval participation in the inauguration under consideration, but that he will be unable to reach a conclusion in the matter urtil he confers with Admiral Bunce, commanding the Atlantic squadron, now at Charleston. All the available ves- sels of the home fleet are now in southern waters, and it is not yet known whether any of them can be brought to this vicin- ity by the 4th of March. Secretary Herbert was of opinion, however, that the dispatch vessel Dolphin, now looking after filibus- ters on the coast of Florida, will be re- Meved of that duty by some other vessel in @ few days, and that she will then come to the Washington navy yard. In that event her crew will be available for serv- ices during the inauguration. The crew is a small one, however, and by itself would not make much of a display. It is more than possible, though, that most of the yessels now engaged in blockading service off Charleston will be anchored in Hamp- ton Roads before the close of the present month, and that a detachment of the crews of each may be transported to Washington to take part in the inaugural procession. The big ships cannot come anywhere near Washington because of their draught, but the smaller ones could come and bring with them sailors from the others. It is expected that action will be taken by the department in this matter next week. Owing to the limited quarters devoted to the private supper rooms of the presidential party and the other distinguished guests who will attend the inaugural ball, reser- vations will be only made, it is now thought, for the presidential and vice presi- dential parties and the diplomatic corps. It was expected by some of the members of the reception committee that similar privilege would be extended to each mem- ber of that body, but this will be entirely out of the question, and this committee will be treated just as the other commit- tees are. A Group Picture Taken. The officers and members of the inaugu- ral executive committee indulged in a con- siderable amount of hair brushing, tle fix- ing, lapel adjusting and other sorts of masculine primping this morning in antici- pation of an encounter at 1 o'clock with a wide-mouthed camera. When they had all satisfactorily arranged their personal at- tractiveness they assembled in a group at a local photograph gallery and were in- delibly perpetuated on several negatives. The result will be a picture of a body of fine-looking men, who add sterling qualities to their other pleasing characteristics. «Ample Accommodations. An impression seems to have gone abroad over the land that there will be a lack of accommodations for the crowds which will attend the inauguration. When this was called to Chairman Wright's attention this morning he said that such was not the case. The accommodations, he said, were ample, and of an excellent character, and all who came cculd be well taken care of, according to their means and desires. The public comfort committee today reported accommodations secured for 37,385 people: places where meals only could be gotten by 21,212. Vermont's Representation. Col. Charles S Forbes of St. Alban’s, Vt., is in Washington arranging for the inau> gural representation of the green mountain state. The Vermont Natloral Guard will send Company I, Capt. J. J. Estey, of Brattleboro, Company K of Bennington, Capt. H. B. Fillmore, and Company M of Burlington, Capt. E. M. Brownell, all of the First Reg:ment. The companes will each be fifty-one men strong. Gov. Josiah Grout and his staff of eighteen members will also come. Judge Jere Wilson has tendered Gov. Grout his white horse to ride in the parade, and the staff members will be mounted on black chargers provid- ed by Agent Mahcney of the public com- fort committee. Mr. Myron M. Parker of this city is a member of the governor's staff, and will ride with the other officers in the parade. The ladies and other per- sons who will accompany the Vermont party will view the procession from the Vermont stand erected on Pennsylvania avenue in front of the new city post office and opposite the office of The Evening Star. The Coming of the Cadets, The efforts to secure the presence of the West Point and Annapolis cadete are not being relaxed, and the confidence in their ultimate success grows stronger every Cay. Influential people throughout the country are urging their representatives and sena- tors to support the resolution now pending in Congress, requesting the President to order the cadets here, and it is believed that this general expression will have the desired effect. Ball Tickets Selling Rapidly. Chairman John W. Thompson of the finance committee, who has charge of the sale of ball and supper tickets, stated today to The Star reporter that the tickets were being rapidly soli, and suggested that, as there will be a Hmit to the number, persons desiring them should secure them as soon as they conveniently could. The demand from persons living outside of Washington is increasing, and they are iocated in all parts of the country. This indicates the attendarce of a great number vf well-to-do people from a distance. . Adverse Action, The Senate committee on military af- fairs today took adverse action on the proposition to bring the cadets from West Point to the inauguration. Only eight mem- bers were present, and four, Senators Bate, Ccckrell, Mitchell of Wisconsin and Wal- thall, voted against the measure. Senator Palmer did not vote, and Senators Hawley, Proctor and Shcup voted for it. No action was taken looking to another meeting. The Regular Troops. The Secretary of War has ordered the band of the 2ist Infantry at Platteburg barracks, N. Y., to accompary the four troops of 34 Cavalry at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., to Washington on the occasion of the inavguration of the President-elect. This action insures the presence of four regi- mertal bands in the regular army division of the procession. The Secretary of War has algo ordered that the battalion of en- gineers proceed to Washington in season to participate in the inaugural ceremonies, and that, upon the completion of this duty, it return to its proper stations. ‘The company at West Point will join the companies from Willets Point, as they pass through Jersey City, and will separate from them at that place on returning from Washington. ‘The quartermaster’s department will fur- nish the necessary transportation. Major General Ruger, commanding the department of the east, with headquarters at New York, has issued the following spe- ofal order in regard to the participation of troops in the department of the east in the inauguration ceremonies: Under instructions from the headquar- of por gece ds ae tonne hereinafter specified participate in the ceremoni at Washington, D. on the 4th of Mare next attending the inauguration of the President of the United States: ‘The four troops of the 8d Cavalry from Fort Ethan Allen, Vt.

General Notes of Interest. Mr. Tieodore F, Swayze, formerly a well-known Washingtonian and now asso- ciated with Senator-elect Thomas C. Platt in the business of the United States Ex- press Company, was a visitor at headquar- ters tcday. Mr Swayze is a member of the inaugural reception committee and also an ald to Grand Marshal B. H. Warner. The Boston Globe has purchased six: ball tickets, thirty of which will be ‘ais. tributed to the thirty most popular school teachers in New England, and thirty to the same number of most popula- pupils. The Globe wil. pay all the expenses of the for- tunate ones to Washington and provide seats on one of the viewing stands from which they may witness the parade. ‘The public comfort committee met last night at headquarters and decided to as- sign members in relays of ten each at the railroad stations to meet the strangers coming to the inauguration aad airect them to their quarters. The preferences of the members will be considered in their as- signments to this duty, which will be an- nounced at a later date. At the next meeting of the committee assignments of mem! previous to and during the i will be anncunced. Haley's Orchestra held another rehearsal, with full strength of 125 members, at the National Rifles’ armory this morning, and the attendance of invited guests made the occasion almost concert-like in its propor- anne many, selections were played, “The e yer’ two-step bein ticular, well received. = ois ae The decorations of the treasury build- ing are being put in place, work having commenced this morning. The predomi- nant feature of the adornment will be a drapery of white and gold challie. Some criticism was indulged in on the street by weather-wise passersby at the exposure thus early of cloth drapery, which the rains to be expected will transform into stringt- ness. ‘There will be no meeting of the commit- tee on military organizations this evening, nor until February 25, when assignments of members to thcir duties in connection with receiving the visiting military organizations will be made. The Lincoin Guards of Macon, Ga., have made inquiries indicating they will par- ticipate in the inaugural parade. ROBBED COUNT DE GOETZEN. A Man Charged With the Theft Brought Here From Baltimore. Herman Beyer, who is charged with rob- bing Count de Goetzen, tie military at- tache of the German legation in this city several weeks ago, was last night brought to Washington':by Detective Carter from Baltimore. He was‘arrested there on com- plaint of the Austritih consul at that por who was informed by Count de Goetzen of Beyer’s doings hé¥e. Beyer was today committed for court’ to await the action of the grand jury? It is alleged ‘that after carrying off a watch, several ‘scarf ‘pins and other arti- cles, valued altbgether at about $70, from the count, he wént to the home of Patrick Dugsins, No. 2816 M Street northwest, and that after being entertained there for sev- eral days he left, carrying with him a suit of clothes anda wajch belonging to Mr. Duggins. “ Beyer next appeared at the office of the Austrian const? in Baltimore, where he displayed a lettér, sajd to have been writ- ten by the Coufit de Goetzen, in which the congul was asked to ‘extend aid to Be¥er. The consul suspected something wrong and telegraphed to Count de Goetzen to know if he had written the letter shown by Beyer, and in reply was informed that Beyer had robbed him and asked that he be arrested. By previous arrangement Beyer made a second visit to the office of the consul, and upon his arrival he was taken into custody and locked up. x ‘Beyer next made affidavit that ‘he was a Pauper immigrant and had come into the United States in violation of the laws of Congress. Then the custom house authori- ties took him in hand. They soon, how- ever, found that he had been in the United States for more than twenty-two years, having been naturalized in Chicago in 18 Upon making this discovery the custom house authorities dropped the case, and he was turned over to Marshal Frey of the Baltimore police force, by whom he was surrendered to Detective Carter of this city. All the property has been recov- ered. ublic order ers to duty inauguration a The Work of the Humane Society. To the Biitor of The Evening Star: I read with pleasure the article with ref- erence to cruelty to animals in your last evening's issue, as manifesting the growing interest in the work of our Humane So- ciety. A great part of the time of our agents is devoted to looking’ after the horses used in our public conveyances. Complaints come frequently to the office from citizens of cruelty and of stock to- tally unfit for work. Two arrests were made a day or two since and fines imposed, but often the guilty parties escape punish- ment, owing to lack of sufficient testimony to satisfy the court. The stables are fre- quently visited by the agents of the so- ciety. In one instance Veterinary Surgeon Robinson accompanied our agent to the Belt Line car stable, and together con- demned some fifteen horses, stamping the hoof and warning against’ their further use on the line. With refezence to the her- Gle line, the agents report the stock in better condition than ever before: Inyesti- gation shows that horses are brought into this clty from Virginia and Maryland and sold at bazaars as low as one dollar. A lady member of our executive committee spent several hours of two days at one of these sales, and witnessed great cruelties on horses unfit for any work. With reference to employing counsel to prosecute cases, the society has made ef- forts to do so, but find that the attorney for the court, while willing to receive sug- gestions, could not allow another to pros- ecute. The public may rest assured that every effort to abate cruelty to children or ani- mals is being made by the society, which only exists for that @bject, and any sugges- tions or help frem aitizens or visitors will be thankfully recefved and duly consid- ered.

The police are on the lookout for stray dogs of suspicious appearance, and very Uttle mercy will be shown them, since the killing of the supposed mad dog yesterday forenoon on Jefferson street. The carcass of the dead animal has been taken in charge by the health office, and an investi- gation made to determine if it was suffer- ing with rabies. Tracing the wanderings of the animal the police find that it had Leen all over town. Early yesterday morn- ing Policeman Housel saw the dog on upper M street, coming from the Aqueduct bridge, while a little later the same animal was seen on 30th street below M street, where it attacked two other dogs, biting both. One of the bitten dogs was killed yesterday morning by Policeman Housel, and last evening Policeman Connors killed another. Several other dogs are known to have been bitten. Went Through the Boat. James Douglas, a colored laborer, was arrested yesterday by Policeman Harrison and locked up with a charge of larceny placed opposite his name. The negro is al- leged to have boarded the canal boat of Captain Eddy of Cumberland, which is tied up on the Georgetown level of the water- way. There was no one on the boat at the time, and the negro went through all the cabins. He carried away three flat irons, and also 30 cents in money. The theft was discovered soon afterward, and the police notified, which resulted in the arrest of Douglass. Lectures at the University. The first of a series of lectures will be given this evening at $ o'clock in the Gas- ton Memorial Hall of Georgetown Untversi- ty. Mr. E. D. F. Brady will deliver thi lecture, his subject being ‘Joan of Arc,” which will be fully illustrated with a num- ber of stereopticon views.

A bill in equity, asking the sale of cer- tain real estate that was the property of the late John T. Given, was filed today by James Lynch and Benjamin H. Read, who name as defendants William A. Farlec, Mary A. Farlee, Myra Given, Ida Given, Emily Given, John T. Given, Mary C. Given and Claude W. Given. Messrs. Lynch and Read claim to be creditors of the deceased, setiing forth that in his lifetime he was in- debted to them in the sum of $5,698.35 for coal purchased. This claim, it is said, has been presented to the Probate Court and has been approved. The administrator, William A. Farlee, is credited with the payment to the complainants of all moneys due except the sums of $143.30, $646.13 and $273.02. The personal estate of the deceased, so it is stated, is not sufficient to discharge all of the indebtedness, and the court is asked to direct the sale of the real estate in order to satisfy the claims of Messrs. Lynch and Read. The property in question includes sublots 11 and 12, square 1126; part of lot 14, square 374, and parts of lots 89 and 90, square 1218. The complainants are repre- sented by Attorney Clarence A. Branden- burg. Some Orders, The Commissioners today ordered that the following work be done under the pro- visions of law governing the assessment system, the same having been duly adver- tised as required by law: Lay brick sidewalk in Pierce street, from Jefferson street eastward to High street, both sides, and on High street, both sides, from last-named point to Arthur street, Anacostia. Consiruct sewer in the south side of C street southeast, between New Jersey avenue and Ist street, estimated cost, $563, one-half cost to be assessed against lots of square 692 abutting on said street. Construct sewer in the south side of H Street northeast, between llth and 12th streets, estimated cost, $606, one-half cost to be assessed against the lots of square 982 abutting said street.
