The steamer “*Excelsior,” with the congressional commission, the “Tallapoosa with David Davis and Slrly and the “Dispatch” with Presi- lent Arthur and party, all arrived shortly after 9 o’clock this morning. A great crowd was on the wharves to recewve them. All the naval vessels manned their yards and fired salutes on the arrival of the president. Gen, Hancock andstaff were the first to greet. president’s party and bid them wel- come to the historical spot. The Yorktown commissioner is not very enthusiastic over the prospects of the celebration. Beyond the visiting mili- tary and civic organizations, not over 5,000 people had arrived up to 10 o'clock to-day. The harbor is filled with sailing crafts of every descrip- tion, all gaily decorated. To-day's ceremonies will be devoted to t laying of the cornerstone of the York- town monument by the Masonic or- ganizations present. YorkTowN, Va., October 18.—The smgmm for the reception of the presi- lent was changed this morning. The presidential party did not proceed di- rectly to Yorktown, but went first to Hampton Roads to join the French and German guests, with whom they ave expected to arrive this evening. When this fact became known the Masons proceeded with the ceremo- nies of laying the corner stone of the Yorktown monument. Beneath this stone was placed a massive copper box containing documents and publications bearing npon the event, a Bible and a copy of all the newspapers published in Virginia. A silverplate was on thebox, suitably. inwribed.yl‘hecmmoniel were in charge uf the grand lodgs of Vir- ginia, The procession included, by sides the Virginia lodges, many lodges of Philadelphia. The stands around the monument were filled with specta- tors, The assemblage was called to order by Senator Johnson, chairman of the commission, Rev. Robert Nelson uttered prayer, which was fol- lowed .by music. ~Governor Holliday delivered an address of welcome, after which the corner stone was laid, the operation being directed by Grand Master Coles. Theceremonies werevery impressive, At Lafayette hall, near by. where the French and German guests and the president’s party are to be received by General Hancock and the officers of the army and navy, thore was a formal raception this morning, a great many ladies being present. Tho third New Hampshirc regiment, of Concord, landed amid considerable cnthusiasui. Large crowds thronged the dusty roads leading to the camp, and the booths and the side showsdone a thriving business, At 11 o'clock the people began assembling in the vicinity of the monument, where preparations for the second and main corner-stone laying were being made, but the ceremonies were delayed in [ consequence Jof the non-ar- rival of the president. The crowd was entertained by the concerts of the Third artillery band and the North Carolina State band. The day is ex- cessively hot and dusty. The walls of the interior are covered with decora- tions of flags and evergreens, the whole making a beautiful appearance. Out at the camp, three miles from here, the soldiers have passed a quiet, hot and dusty day. There will be concerts by the different bands this evening, and to-night there will be a pyrotechnic display and a concert and hop at Lafayette hall, On land to-day the scencs have been animated and to-night are pic- turesque, All is life and excitement, and the water is equally lively. Look- ing out on the vast fleet, with twink- ling lights, and now and then to hear the shrill notes of the boatswrins’ whistles and the sharp ringing of the ships’ bells, one is reminded of the days of the late war, in which York- town and its land and naval forces played such an Important part. Out at the camp matters were interesting to-day. Guard mounts and drills and other incidents of camp life drew many toward that section during the evening. All is now silent in the tented city. Here and there sentries pace to and fro, halting each Dmer-b%nnd pre- serving strict discipline. The wllmlu forms a great picture, and though there are’ more or less ipeon- gruities to put up with, all appeay good natured, and no one cares to create a disturbance. - Striet policé regulations are enforced. Details from the police department at Rich- mond, Norfolk and Washington areon duty, stationed on the shore and en board the steamers at wharves, Many distinguished people were among the arrivals to-day, the president and cabinet, senators and members of con- gress, the French and German guests, Rev. Alex Stewart, formerly a member of President Filmore’s cabinet, being his secretary of theinterior,andothers, To-day's events included the laying of the corner stone of the monument YEAR. the reception of distingmshed guests, conocerts by various bands, a pyrotechnic display, and a grand - ball to-night. " The corner stone laying, owing to the delay in the landing of the president and party, did not begin until 1p. m. The pres- ident was on board the Dispatch, which lay for some time in the harbor. Admiral Wyman and Gen. W. S. Hancock visited him on board imme- diately after his arvival. This ex- change of courtesies occurred amid the roar of guns from the war vessels, the crews of which manned the yards in handsome style, the whistles of pri- vate steamers blew shrilly and the crowds along the shore cheerad lustily. The president, Judge David Davis and others landed in boats without any display and procceded on foot to the grand stand, where the mon- ument was. A very large assemblage, mostly masons, were there to receive the party. The stone laying was very impressive, opening with a formal ad- dress by Senator Johnson, of Vir- ginin, chairman of the centennial con- vention, and was concluded with vo- cal and instrumental music, the sing- ing of the ‘‘Star Spangled Banner” and several hymns “composed for the occasion being rendered with grand effect. Gov. Hallilay's address of welcome was hearty and well timed, and raplete with geateful sentiments for the interest Bhown in the event all ‘over the world. Most Worshipful Priton 'Skipwith Coles, grand master of Masons of Virginia, manipulated the silver and joweled trowel in laying the' corner stone. The procession, which included, be- sides the Virginia lodges, many com- manderies of Knights Templar of Philadelphia and ‘all the grand mas- ters of the thirtcen states, were under command of Most Worshipful' Robert 7. Withers, P, G, M., grand marshal. The procession formed in an open field, a mile away from the monumental site, and though the road was dusty and rugged the march was excollent. Beneath the corner stone was placed a copper box with a silver plate on the lid inscribed as follows: The corner stone of the monument to commemorate the surrender of Lord Cornwallis and the forces under his command to the American and French troops at Yorktown, Va., October 19, 1781, was laid, on the in- vitation of the congressional commis- sion, by the grand lodge of F. & A. M., of Virginia, on the occasion of the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of that event. The crutents of the box are as fol- lows: One copy of the Holy Bible, a cop- per coin of the United” States, 1783, United States, French and Canadian bank notes, a Virginia_treasury note of 1862, various specimens of confed- erate money, a copy of the program of the celebration, a photograph of the confederate flag, Yorktown cen- tennial medal, program of the corner stone ceremonies, a Virginia journal’s publication referring to the centen- nial, a copy of the Yorktowr centen- nial association, a leaf from the bible on which George Washington was sworn as a Mason, an eléctrotype copy of the charter of the grand "lodge of Virginia, a list of the members of the Yorktown centennial commission, a copy of the music sung by the centen- nial chorus and the Masonic apron worn by the late Rev. A, A. Baldwn, The ceremonies were concluded about 2:30 o'clock when the president and Secretary Hunt were escorted to Lafayette hall whero an informal re- ception was held, The hall was gor- geously decorated with flags and ever- greens and flowers. Tae reception was an informal though quite a bril- liant affair, the wives and daughters of congressmen and army and navy ofticers attending. The president and Secretaries Blaine and Hunt were in full evening dress and foreign guests in their gay uniforms so striking when compared with the uniforms of the Auwericans. The French and German visitors, aecompanied. by Secretary Blaine, ar- rived ‘about 2" p. m. They steamed into the harbor with French, German and American flags flying gaily. When they camo to anchor the foreigners fired an admiral’s salute of twenty- one guns and dipped the American flag, which was returned by a similar salute on board the flagship. The Franklin’s batteries and the batteries on shore also fired salutes, The dis- tinguished foreign guests were visited by many prominent officials on board their vessels. They disembarked and came on shore this afternoon, The fireworks and illuminations lasted till a late hour. President Arthur will probably leave here for Washington to-morrow night. It is ramored that troublo hus arisen between the French and Ger- man visitors, growing out of the for. mer's jealousy of the attentions shown the latter. The partics sepa- rated after leaving Hampton Roads this morning. The Frenchmen came up on their owri man-of-war and the Germans came on the City of Catskill. Mr. Blaine and the congressional commission are very mueh worried over the reported feud, and stepshave been taken to_restore harmony, All the French visitors and Germans have been invited to attend the reception on board the Excelsior to-morrow, for the Surpuuu of making peace. It rained here very hard to-night, and blew & swall gale, causing a sudden termination of the fire-works, ‘Where Are the Balloonists?

ANOTHER WANHINGTON SENSATION. The Evemng Critic publishes a story to the effect that a_separation has been caused between Hon. John B. Clark, member of congress from the Eleventh district of Missouri, and his wife, formerly Mrs. J. C. Weil, a clerk in the interior department, by dissipation of tho latter. The mar- riage took place less than a year ago and for some months went well. Re- cently Gen. Olark has had occasion to reprimand his wife for remaining out late at night. fiHer ubsence continued night after night and Clark, believing all was not right, took a detective into his confidence, who shadowed the wife, and his labors were, it is said, re- warded by seeing the lady in company with a male companion, go into a sa- loon. He reported his observations to Clark, who implored his wife to cease her downward course, and not. break up family ties, She promised to obey the command of her husband, but did not keep her word, and a few nights after roturnedtoher old habits, and kept it up, night after night com- ing home in an exhiliarated condition. General Olark, finding that his ap- peals were in vain, resolved yesterday to leave her. In company with his friend, Licutenant Fink, of the capi tol police force, he went yesterday af- ternoon to his residence and removed all his personal effects to a down town hotel, where he is now located. Mrs, Clark still remains in the house in Grant row. In view of the high standing of the parties the affair has created an intanse social sensation, A g The Southwestern Pool.

The meeting s for the purpose of trying to reorganize the present pooling arrangement on Missouri river treight business. The pool has been vory heneficial to the roads leading Chicago and St. Louisto Missouririver points —St, Joseph, Atchiso, Leaven- worth and Kansas City—but the large amount of new railrond construc- tion and the formation of new combi- natoons during the last two years has made it impossible to divide the busi- ness satisfactorily under the old agree- ment. The ditliculties and complica- tions arising from the changed condi- tions of the roads have borught thy pool to the verge of dissolution, and were it not for the fuct that the south- another railvoad western roads fear war, which would 1o doubt prove dis- astrous to many of them, it would bave ceased to exist long ago, Lorne's Deputy.
