' THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPALCY Politiciaos 8ay Oandidates Will Blossom Earlier tban Ever Before. MAHONE TO SUCCEED JONES, /Allison Suggested as a Compromise Between the Blaine and Sher man Factions—Mrs. Hendricks Visita Washington. Candidates Will Bloom in the Spring Wasm v, Mareh 26,—[Special Tele- gram to the Brg. |-Politiclans say the cam- paign for presidential nominations will open earlier this time than for many years because neither of the leading parties have the largest number of nien to select from, and because all are anxious that the strongest ot _the as- pirants shall be selected. Senator Mahone, of Virginia, and Sergeant-at-Arms Canaday, of North Carolina, have taken charge of Sen- « ator Sherman’s boom In the south, while Ohio republicans intend soon to get together o assume control of the east and west. 1t s stated to-nizht that one of the first moves will be to put Mr. Mahone In a position to be chairman of the national committee in place of BMr. Jones, of Pittsburg, Pa., and that in this . will come the first contest between the Sher- man and Blaine forces, whichare in the main antagonistic. It is well known that Senator . Allison, of Iowa, is the second choice of Mr. DBlaine, and there is the “‘higheat authority for saying that Mr. Sher- man prefers Mr. Allison toany other man than himself. It is not improbable, there- fore, that a compromise will be effected be- $ween the Sherman and Blaine elements, should the contest wage warm this winter, end thatthe lowan will be the man elected o represent the two factions and bring both together, Ex-Senator Conkling and Robert G. Ingersoll have both stated to politicians within the past two weeks that if Mr. Alll- #0n is nominated they will cheerfully take the stump and work from the first to the last *day of the campaign for him. This, the re- pudlicans are saylng to-night, will have a &ood deal in bringinz about the proposed gompromise. One thing all agree upon this ‘@arly, and that is that the preliminary cam- ign will not be permitted to go along until mere Is anything like a breach in the ganks, All are determined to win, (and are ready for any reasonable arrangement to put the party upon the fore- gmost footing from the start. 1t is reported Ahat Mr. Blaine will be in the west in a very few days for the purpose of meeting friends ‘.rllo have suggestions relating to his political (Ruture, and that it will be sugzested that Mr. " Allison will be ziven his strength, 2 MRS, HENDRICKS' LIFE WORK, Mrs, Hendricks, widow of thelate vice pres- . be takel fdent, made a short visit to Washington this week, arriving on Tuesday and leaving #gain for her home in Indianapolis yesterday mfternoon, During her stay Mrs. Hendricks, .awho made the journey to see an ill friend, (wvas the guest of her cousin, Major homas Morgan, _ She is looking Ennunnlly well and speaks enthusias- cally of bher life work, which is to oarry out to completion every little wish ‘or lan projected by her late husband. During +8heir long life together Mr. Hendricks made . @ practice of quietly jotting down whatever au sald as toany plans for the future. Since e death of the late vice president these :um have proved of incalculable value to Is widow, whose sole object in life now is tdonll in ber power to advance them to ultillment. She lives entirely alone in her k rfi:a house, spending the greater portion of ach day, as duriug her husband’s lifetime, dnhis ntudir busily engaged in correspondence .and such literary work as necessarily de- ‘wolves on her for the accomplishment of her ans. 'The most difficult task which pre- ented itself to her atter Mr. Hendricks' eath was to euter the dining room where eir»meals had always been taken with such a cheerful cosy air about things and get through the first dinner alone with the :Ighl of the empty ehalr opposite and the wiul sense of desolation to which it seemed .fo add a two-fold keenness. However, Mrs, endricks has accustomed herself to it, and hether she has any one dining with her, jhe chair is always in its accustomed place, ut no one 1s ever allowed to occupy it. VAN WY@K CALLS ON CLEVELAND, General Van Wyck, was among the callers ®ipon President = Cloveland to<day. The eneral will remain here a while longer, then ‘n with his family to Nebraska. No man ho has tigured in public life will leave more steadfast friends than he. 1is work in the penate during the past two years has re- ulted in much zood to the District of Colum- ia, and her residents will always have a ‘warm feeling for him, TROTTER AT DEATH'S DOOR. +, Trotter, the colored recorder of deeds for #his District, who has been at the point of !:enth for forty-eight hours, has anticipated is demise by selecting as his deputy Giarrett mif an, a colored man from Syracuse, .

Consu! Hathaway Makes His Official Heport of the Occurrence. WAsHINGTON, March 26.—The secretary of state has recoived from Hathaway, United States consul at Nice, a dispatch dated the 8d instant containing an account of the earthquake which occurred at that city on the 23d of February lust. Hathaway states that the phenomena were most distinctly perceptible at three minutes to 6 o'clock in the morning. The vibrations were vertical, longitudinal and transversal, and of not less than thirty seconds in duration. The massive stone buildings of the city were then moved, lifted and shaken, as it ‘seemed to their occupants, like ships at sea or trees struck by a temp The inhabi- tanis at the time were cping atter iv he carni- v I'ha tirst shock was followed by another of somewhat less intensity, undulating from east to west' and_accompanied by a noise air like the blowingz of the .7 The sound of falling walls and errified voices of people mingled in the alarm. 'The sky became illumined with a red, glimmering light, apparenly electric in its quality and unusual at aawn, The entire population, half clothed, were in the streets, Many were qulet, firm and cour- ageous ; others were trembling and unnerved. At thirty-tive minutes past 8 o’clock a. m. the third shock was felt, more intense than the preceding, which sonsummated the excite- ment. ‘'he railway station then became crowded with fugitives pressing for escape to Marseilles and Paris, Some sought the more open streets and public squares: a few ob- tained carriages for shelter.and soine,less fear- ful, watchfully remained in the basements of their dwellings or hotels, The weather was warm and cloudless, Happily but one life was lost as the immediate result of this dis- aster. ‘The municipal committee entrusted with the protection of all damaeed houses have reported that of the 55,000 buildings in Nice, three have been demolished, eight must down, fifty are in danger, and 300 are cracked and otherwise damaged. The actual loss to real property alone is estimated at 50,000,000 franes, 'The national chamber of deputies have voted 1,000,000 francs tor the relief of the poor. Not only Nice and its neighborhood, but the whole coast from Genoa to Marseilles, was more or less afilicted by the earthquake, But few of the transient population of Nice remain in that city. ettty Grand and's Gris GRAND IsLAND, Neb., March 26.—|Special Telegram to the Brr.]—The Grand Island Electric Light, Gas and Fuel company will commence operations in a few days for the constructlon ot their works, the costof which will be $60,000. They have purchased lots 3 and 7 in block 50, on which they will erect a two story block of brick, forty-four by eighty feet, and erect coal sheds for the accommoda- tion of the electric light plant, gas tncm:‘v and fuel. Seven miles of igains will be laid. Besides furnishing gas for illuminating pur- poses it is the intention of the company to manufacture it for cooking and heating pur- poses. ‘The company is made up principally of New York capitalists. The construction will be under the supervision of Mr. Charles Wosmer of this city, who was formerly con- nected with the electric lizht works, Tha location of the canning factory is fixed for block 20 in Evans’ addition on the Unlon Pacitic rallroad. Bids for the con- struction will be closed on the 28th inst. ‘The governor, state treasurer, secretary of state, state attorney, and commissioner of ublic buildings are in the city to-day tor the nal location of the soldiers’ home.

LiNcoLN, Neb., March 26.—The executive board of the Irish National League of America to-day issued an address to the “American public and the Irishmen of America.”” The address opened with a refer- ence to the appeal by the champion of Dublin to the Irish World to protect humanity agalnst further oppression of the Irish people by the British government and reviews the prosent political situation at length, and closes with an appeal to the American press and ?euple to pass their verdict and say boldly if the Irish have not displayed all ‘the forbearance that human nature is capable of in their pas- sive resistance to such inhuman laws as those to which the British government would have them submit, ‘The address it nothing will satisfy the government but the “destruction _of the Irish people, Ireland will be justified before God and man in selling her life at the heaviest price she can obtain, aad in using every weavon the ingenuity of man can place within ker reach. ~Consideration of the policy of the British government by the American public is asked n order to help avert such a catastrophe, The address urges the reorganization of disbanded branches of the league and the establishment of new ones, and asks that the Irish people living on farms too widely separated from each other to form branches, send their names and sub- scriptions to Rev, Dr. O’Reilly, at Detroit, ‘who will ackhowledge the same through the press. The address is signed by John Fitz- gerald, president of the league. ——— ‘The Missouri River Falling. BISMARCK, Dak., March 26.—The river is falling rapidly to-day and workmen are able to repair the Northern Pacific bridge. No trains can run over the bridge betore Mon- day, but transfer is being satisfactorily made by boats. A citizen of McLean county brings intelligence that the gorge seven miles below Washburn is six miles wide and the water covers the prairie for miles, ' If this Is true then the worst has not come and the present fall in the river is llmrly a result of the upper gorge. The Sibley island gorge is finn, Snow has been falling for fifteen hours and this will greatly increase the vol- ume of water. ANKTON, Dak., March 26.—The Missouri river is still rising here and the water is backed Into the James river four miles enst and reports say it is nearly on a level with the bridge. The Milwaukee track at Bur- bank, about forty miles east on the Sioux City & Dakota branch, is washed out and trains are abandoned, the passengers being brought via Marion and " Scotland. The 'water Is thought to be at its highest now and no serious damage Is apprehended, as the ice isall out, Raising Rates on Coal. PITTSBURG, March 26.—A disagreement has arisen between the Pittsburg railroad coal operators and the railway people which threatens to shut out Pittsburg coal from the lakes, Last year the freight rate for coal from 1'ittsburg to the lakes was S0 cents per ton. The railroads at first raised the tarlff to §1 for this year. A commiitee reported this morning that the railroad o&%e had finally offered to reduce the rate cents. The operators were unanimol asserting that they would not accept such a_rate, which would still be an advance of 15 cents over Iast year's e;lcu. ‘I'he committee was finall instructed to confer again at noon and asl that the 80-cent rate be continued. Itis be- lieved, however, that operators will accept & compromise of ¥0 cents. Another Democrat Declines.

Mr. Dempster thought the bill had some really excellent features, and ought to pass, Mr. Andres held that the state ought to ql\‘l\ children all the education it could. 'his education would diminish the number of reform schools and penitentiaries. This law would compel parents to give better rea- sons for sending their children early to work for the purpose of getting a few dollars and bringing them up in ignorance. Mr. Caldwell referred to the advantages of compulsory education in Germany. Mr. Randall said that'public education was for the public good. If the state had a right to tax a man who had no children for the sake of education, the state had aright to see that the greatest good was derived from that taxation. 5 Mr. Ballard supported the bill. Further discussion was cut off by the call for the previous question. Mr. Hayden’s motion was los| On motion of Mr. Randall the bill was en- grossed for third reading. Mr. Andres bill, 17, providing for settle- ment by arbitration of disputes between em- ;lrloyas and employer, was brought up, Mr, 'racey moved to indefinitely postpone because one clause compelled one or other of the parties to go into the county court for the settlement, which was compulsion and not arbitration, Mr. Tingle spoke against the bill and Mr. Andres defended it, stating that it had worked well elsewhere, and - that it was in r;perntlon with the company for which Mr. ; ‘racey worked, and that corporation opposed t. ‘The bill was indefinitely postponed. House roll 248, providing for the payment of diseased stock killed by thelive stock com- mission, was passed. Mr. Keiper's bill, 340, appropriating $8,000 for a geological survey of Nebraska, was read, Mr. Keiper said that the state would get back dollar for dollar for this expenditure. They had voted for experimental wells and they should aid In gaining the information of the entire state which this survey would give, The United States had offered to make the topographical map which would be more valuable than the amount asked for, Mr. Andres’ motion to strike out the en- nacting clause was lost, and the bill was en- grossed for third reading.

Wilsey, AFTERNOON SESSION. A number of senate files were read the first and second time. The committee on the selection of bills reported a number of the same for general file and indefinate post- ponement. The report was adopted. Mr. Andres endeavored to have engrossed for third reading house roll 832, providing for the payment to convicts discharged under the zood conduct act 5 cents for each day confined, but without sucesss. A number of bills were reported favorably by several committees. Just about this time it was noticed that there was a hrfin number of absentees and about the same time the desire to loaf instead of working seemed to take possession of a number of those present. They indulged in a series of motions to adjourn, “on both sides of which some of the sportive youths raised their voice, 1t was soon discovered that a secret lmmgt was being made to revive the libel bill, and the fillibustering was indulged to signalize the discomfiture which the anti- libellers were sustaining in the discovery of their game. At length the house was seduced to the committee of the whole, with Mr. Randall in the chair. It then recommended for passage house roll 810, providing that county boards shall pay the expenses of road surveys, ‘The house concurred in the senate amend- ments to the oil inspector bill relating to the branding of barrels and the number of dep- uty inspectors, which it increased to five. jouse roll 73, providing for harmonizing its assessment laws in counties under town- ship organization and others was recom- mended to pass. . l‘elldlngh he consideration of roll 409, re- lating to the incorporation and government of insurance companies, the committee rose, reported and the house adjourned. A PROHIBITION TRICK. In addition to the scneming carried on by certain members for the purpose of movin, the reconsideration of the vote on thelibel bill during the absence of many of its sup- porters, it 1s now known that another matter claimed the attention of some of the mem- bers. When Mr. Randall took the chair it was apparent that but Ittle would or could be done In the consideration of the bill because of the restlessness of the members, This led to repeated distraction and motions to ad- Jjourn and announcements of the absence of & quorum. 1In response to oneof the latter Mr, Randall ordered a count of the house. He announced the presence of the required number—fifty-one—for the transaction of business. This amnouncement he made al- lowance for the presence of members in the ante-room, one of whom, the man necessary tomakea quorum, reached the floor after the announcement referred to. To this method of discovering a quorum some of the members took fixwfillun. but had no means of Imiuelu l:,m ol ll:‘l wh recede 1lron‘1‘ his position. Subsequently he several times maintained there was a quorum. When at lenzth the patience of the members becos ing exhausted, the committee ro: ried an adjournment. Mr. Randall’s solici- tude to continue the session was noticed and commented upon and warvelled at. The l«llawlnfi’ communication, secretly sent to the prohibition members, however, suggesis a motive o his conduct: ‘Some time this afternoon Mr. Randall will move to amend house roll 459 (the statutory prohibition bill) striking out all after the enacting clause and inserting a sub- mission resolution differing from any intro- duced in either body and defeated since the senate has defeated both its submission reso- lution and statutory and prohibition bill. 1o so0 amend is the only chance to secure the submission of the guestion at this session of the legislature and thereby redeem the re- ublican pledge. 1 am confident through he efforts belngnmula that the needed vote 10 submit will finally be forthcoming.

LiNcoLN, Neb,, March 26.—[Special Tele- gram to the BEE.|—There was a small war in the lobby of cormorants and railroad strikers that hds debauched the winter, through to-day, in which the blatherskite, Vandervoort, was rounded up by Carns in a war of hot and fetid words at the capitol building. Vandervoort, since the passace of the mutilated Omana charter, has swelled to greater proportions than the “old sack” ever did for him, and has claimed the glory of the nefarious schemes that has disgraced the.charter fight from beginning to end. The talk of the lobby is that he cen- sured Carns to railroad headquarters for in- activity, and hence the war of words. For a railroad that is out of politics the orgies in the Union Pacific oll room in the Capital hotel Friday night must have been a great spectacle, and if Charles Francis could have seen the flow of champagae to Room 19 it would have helped to solve the question of the financial embarassment of Nis company. 1t wasn Sort of celebration ovar supposed victories and the expensive flulds were poured down the sizzling gullets of the strikers in a way to make more con- servative B. & M, strikers wonder at the prodigality of the Unton Pacitic ronstabouts, When cougress adjotrned and financial em- barrassments arose ip Union Pacitic quarters the order came to 'i.‘iucom to reduce the lobby, Mercer, Gurley and “Buffalo Chips” Crowford were sacrificed and the suite of rooms in the annex abandoned, but Grand Bummer Vandervoort remained in command., There were possible. railroad measures to nanacle and the more reckless were left in command, so the remaining oil rooms of the two_corporations flourish and the brazen work of the paid hirélings and corruptionists keep on apace, and treason and eLanchery rromlsn to keep up the disgraceful scenes of he long winter so Iomi a8 General Vander- voort has a gullet to fill and the corporations cash to foot the bills. 5 g The Hastings Asylum, Appropriation. LiNcoLy, Neb., March30.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bgee.]—The announcement 1 this morning’s Bex of the blunder in the en- rollment of the bill for the Hastings asylum for the incurable insane, was universally discussed by the members of both houses. The ways and means committee of the sen- ate immediately had a meeting and appointed a sub-committee consisting of Senators Heartwell, Kentand Shervin, to consult the governor and attorney gemeral. The latter beld that the enrollment, if not fatal, would certainly entail protracted and expensive litigation. Furthermore, the bill could not be withdrawn, and there was not enouzh time to pass another. He suggested the plan outlined in the Bre of inserting an item in the general aporopriation bill, setting forth the amount, $75,000, the object to erect the asylum in question, and the cause the erro- neous enrollment referred to. This was submlitted to the overnor, and received his approval. The sub-commnittee reported to the main commit- tee after adjournment this evening; the ro- port was concurred in and the amount witl probably be inserted in the miscellaneous lr propriation bill, which wiil eowre up possibly on Monday and reach the house on Wednes- day. The'ways and means committee bave also decided to report $10,000 for a connectin building at the institute for the deaf an dumb at Omaha. This will also haye to be concurred in by the house through the com- mittee, as the latter some weeks ago failed to recommend it, Plattsmouth Waterworke Celebration PrATTsMoUTH, Neb,, March 26,—[Special to the BEE.|—Great preparations are being made here for a grand celebration in honor of the completion of the Plattsmouth water- works, The committee of arrangements consists of J, A.

MiNDEN, Neb., March 26.—[Special Tele- gram to the BEE.]—To-day was decided the question of extending aid to the Kansas City & Omaha railroad, and the bonds were car- ried in this precinct by a vote of 208 for to 22 against. There was cousiderable interest manifested throughout the entire day, and since the result is made khown the excite- ment is at fever heat. The determined oppo- sition of the Burlingtah & Missouri railroad against the bofds ) made many friends for the ugy road.

WEEKLY BUSINESS REVIEW. No Changes of Importance in Financial Affairs, FOREIGN EXCHANGE IN REQUEST. A Remarkably Steady Feeling Pre- valls in the Produce Markets— Eaatern Merchants Replens ishing Their Stocks. The Week in the Commercial World, CnicAGo, Mareh 20.—[Special Telegram to the Ber.]—There have been no very import- ant changes to note in financial affairs this week. Locally there 1s quite a good demand for money and largely of a miscellaneous character. Among speculators there was less borrowing than during the previous week or two, as trading has been smaller, and there has no doubt been a modorately free settlement of contracts in articles which have been subjected to a ‘'squeeze,” conse- quently considerable money has been re- leased. This, however, has had no particu- lar effect on the money market, as the money was deposited as margins with the banks, and therefore was merely transferred on the bookss Still, there is a large amount of money tled up on contracts for wheat. corn, pork, lard and short ribs sides, but that no doubt will be gradually released during the coming five weeks. Rather more ourrency was forwarded to the interior during the past thiee or four days, as shippers of grain and produce are anxious to forward all the property they can before® (the new inter-state commerce law takes effect. The same con- dition of affairs exists in the wholesale mer- cantile trade, and interior merchants are en- larging thelr stocks materially before the ad- vance in freights under the new order of af- fairs. The lumber interest isa moderate bor- rower at the banks, as is usually the case about the season of the opening of lake navi- gations, Bankers are well supplied with loanable funds and borrowers who are able to present satisfactory collaterals or endorse- ments succeed in obtaining all the favors re- quired. Rates of Interest are well main- tained at 6 per cent on call and 6@ per cent on time loans, and it is understood that only large sums can be obtained at inside figures. Outside paper is not much in favor and very little is accepted oven at 8 per cent. On the street there is more doing and rates are firm at 7@8 per cent. The New York money mar- ket is reported steady ata good demand for money at about former rates of intercst. The Boston money market has gradually grown closer, and considerable stringency prevails. Abroad the leading financial markets show no material change. Loanable funds appear to be plenty, with no particular increase in the demand for money. 'The Dank of England rate of discount has been reduced to 3 per cent. New York exchange was In fair supply, and the demand only moderate. Rates were a trifle irregular and sales were made between banks at G0@s0 cents discount per $1,000 and closed quiet at 75@%0 cents. Forelgn exchange was in better request during the past week and of- ferings were not quite so large. The roar- ket was stronger and rates ruled higher. Shippers’ sixty dni;s documentary bills on London changed hands at 4524833, and closed steady at 4331(@4533, The New York stock market exhibited very little life during the past week and the volume of business transacted was smaller than for several weeks past, The uncertainties regarding the Baltimore & Olio combination has had a tendency to check trading, #s operators have been waiting for a consummation of the the project, with a view of making it the for the uj rd movement in all lead- Chi 0 operators have trans- acted very little business in stocks during the week, as the fluctuations in prices were not sufiicient to attract speculative attention, and no features were presented to induce even ordinary trad- ing. In a general way the market has ruled comparatively steady and changes in prices were confined within a_narrow range, with very few exceptions. Outside operators ap- pear to be neglecting the stock market and the usual heavy operators in eastern financial centers are not inclined to do much trading at present. The inter-state commerce law will zo into effect April 5, and the effect of the new order of thi ;?mn the leading rail- road lines will be watched with considerable interest. Sales on the New York stock ex- change for the week reached only 1,000,000 shares. The produce markets attracted very little attention during the week. A remark- aply steady feeling prevailed throughout, and fluctuations in prices were conlined within a very hmited range. Small operators as a encral rule were not inclined to trade. Or- ers from outside parties, either to purchase or sell, were lighter than usual, and leading operators were disposed to throw their weight on either side of the market or create influences tending to change the quiet con- dition of affairs, “Che undertone to the mar- kets gencrally suggests considerable timidity among operators fearful that the market may be controlied by combinations quietly made, and prices suddenly advanced or declined. Besides the capital locked up in margins is sufficient to reduce the working facilities of many leading firms without seeking financial assistance from banks, and they do not feel warranted in paying high rates of interest and taking risks under the present cireum- stances, 'The shipping trade is improving, and 1o trouble is experienced in disposing of guiet liberal recoipts of grain and produce, Merchants in the eastern markets are re- plenishing their stocks while the present rates of freights can be obtained. he re- ceipts of grain and provisions were moder- ately large and shipments quite liberal. For- eign markets have ‘mot developed any particular elements ~of strenzth and eastern markets have not shown much activity in o speculative way, though the ex: port business has been well maintained. The arrivals of live stock were moderately free. Packing in the west is gradually gaining and is somewhat in excess of the returns of last year to date, 'The stocks of grain and pro- visions are_being gradually reduced. The former are larger and the latter are smaller than last year at this time. Petroleum was inclined to quietness during the past week. Outside operators are not inclined to do much and fluctuations in prices were slight. No features were presented to attract trad- ing. Sales on the New York petroleum ex- change reached 5,456,000 barrels. The open- ing sales were made at 64c, sold at 62@o4}gc and closed rather quiet at 63%c. ——~— Nebraska and lowa Weathor.

How a Long Island Fisherman Saved His Life, New York Star: The large right wnale which was killed off Amagansett beach L. L,on Thursday, 1s down at the bottom of the sea seven miles from shore. All day yesterday strenuous efforte were made to raise the leviathan, but without success, A zuF boat has been engaged to tow the whale around§Montauk to Promise Land as soon as it rises, in order to secure the blubber and bone, When the whale was first struck by Captam Johathan Edwards it lashed the sen, and with a blow of its tail broke 1n two the boat, commanded bf' Captain Charles Edwards. All the crew were rescued except Captain Charles Edwards. The boats could not approach himowing to the fury of the monster. The captain, who is an expert swimmer, succeeded in diving under the whale’s belly. He camo up on the other side just beside the whale's nose. In sheer desperation, nozhinfi else being in reach, he seized the whale by the lip and hung there until the monster sank, when he loosened his hold and was taken into one of the boats. The boats that went out were commanded by Capt- Josh Edwards, Captain Jonathan dwards and Captain Charles Edwards. David C. Barnes, of Captain Jonathan Edwards’ boat, threw the harpoon that fustened the boats to the whale. It was killed by a lance thrown by Captain Jon- athan Edwards. guration, When Jacks augurated his numerous friends were determined to {;ive bim a public reception upon his entrance into the district. They thorefore watched his pro- gress. Finally it was reported that he had arrived at Fredericktown, in Maryland. Nothing further was heard from him, and there was considerable doubt as to his movements. His friend, Jobn A, Eaton, who was a scnator from Tennessee, learned that he would reach Rockwille on the 20th, and, keeping his own counsel, he went to that village in a private conveyance, and there meeting the general, quietly escorted h.m to this city. Some pieces of ordnance were sta- tioned on the Heights of Georgetown to welcome the president-elect and to an- nounce his arrival to the citizens. The streets were thronged with expect- ant citizens, but as the day wore on and he did not come there was great uncertainty. General John V, Van Ness, the chairman of the central committee mounted his horse and rode toward Georgetown to learn, if possible, something definite. When on Pennsyl- vani; enne, near Georgetown, he met the carriage of General Eaton and saw General Jackson sitting by his side. The carriage had passed the men in charge of the guns without their knowing that it contained the president-elect, and so the salute was nov fired. General Van Ness rode along by the carriage, and the en- tire party proceeded to the National hotel, where thousands of the citizens repaired and offered their congratulations. —Geon- eral Jackson was inaugurated on the 4th of March, on the eastorn portico of the capitol, in the presence of 40,000 people. ‘The president-elect walked from his quar- ters at the hotel to _the capitol, where he took the oath of office and read his in- inaugural address. He then mounted a horse,and rode to the executive mansion, hat in hand, his head towering over the heads of the throng, and the air resound- ing with shouts and'plaudits of the multi- tudes that lined th Chicago Soclety M Chieago News: Miss Birdie Brown, who made her debut in leading fashion- able circles last week, is the daughter of Watkins H.
