The Arlington was honored today by the presence of an ex-President of the United States within its walls, Grover Cleveland by name, who arrived at about 8 o'clock this morn- ing in company with Messrs, H. Gill of New York and R. de Gray of New Orleans. He occupies Senator Hiscock’s suite of rooms. Somehow or other, with the usual idiocy of popular imagination, aramor was started on the streets to the effect that he had dropped dead in the strects of New York, which was about as true as rumors ordi- narily happen to be. He was not only alive when he arrived here, but very hungry, and, as Proprietor Roeselle remarked to a group of newspaper men later in the day, if there waa anything to make him drop dead it was the good breakfast that he had given him. AE REFUSED TO SEE ANYBODY, locking himself in a room with his two friends and a mass of papers, and declining to reply even to knocks upon the door. This state of barricade lasted until the afternoon. It seems that Mr. Cleveland comes in his capacity as a lawyer for the purpose of arguing @ case before the United States Supreme Court tomorrow, and it is to be presumed that the two gentlemen who are with him are con- nected in some way with the case, Mr. Roeselle reported that his guest appeared in better health than he has for five years. He seemed to be less rotund than formerly and his eye was very clear. Itmay be added that Mr. Cleveland took occasion early in the day to officially deny that he had dropped dead, saying: “You may tell my friends that I havo never felt better in. my life than I do at this time.” THE CASE HE WILL ARGUE, Mr. Cleveland was booked to appear before the Supreme Court today as counsel for James Wallace Peake et al. in what is known as the New Orleans drainage case. This case is a suit in equity for an accounting, charging the city of New Orleans as trustee of the drainage fund with misappropriation and waste and seeking to impose a liability upon the city in the neighborhood of $1.800,000. Suit is brought at the instance of certain hcLlers of drainage warrants and it appears, according to the written arguments filed, that besides the appellants properly so called, the British house of Crossley & Co. desire to be heard before the court. ‘he defense of the city of New Orleans involves an exantination of the legislation connected with the scheme to drain the city prosecuted iu the times after the war. ‘he validity of the legislation of that time is in controversy. Richard De Graw and Thomas J. Semmes are associated with Mr, Cleveland in the case. The city of New Orleans is represented by her city attorney, Mr. Carleton Hunt, who, it will be remembered, represented the first district of Louisiana in'the Forty-eighth Congress. The case will be opened tomorrow. eee THE SUPREME BENCH VACANCY. Candidates From the New States in the Northwest. Now that the territories of the northwest have been transformed into states they are ask- ing for more than they used to under the old condition of affairs, So far as national affairs are concerned they have not secured any of the big plums, but it is evident that nothing will in future be lost through a failure to ask for it. Just now certain republicans of Montana and of the state of Washington are id to be endeavoring to capture the place on the United States Supreme bench made vagant by the death of Justice Miller. Mon- tana was first in the field, her candidate being Wilbur F. Sanders, now one of the Senators from that state, The state of Washington followed, with ex-Representative William H. Calkins, who is now busily engaged in running @ senatorial race with Senator Squire. The friends of both gentlemen claim that the re- publican states of the northwest should be recognized in the organization of the Supreme Court, and they advance much argument in behalf of the fitness of their respective candi- dates, Mr. Calkins will have the enthusiastic sup- port of Senator Squire. Under ordinary cir- cumstances the Scnator would not vote for Calkins for coustable, but if by helping him now he will remove from his path a dangerous adversary in state politics he will do eo with much force and no little jubilation, Meanwhile neither Attorney General Miller nor Secretary Noble is saying aword. The former feels sure of the prize,while the latter's friends are hoping that he may yet be the lucky one. Presidential Postmasters Appointed. Presidential postmasters were today ap- pointed asfollows: James W. Grubbs at New port, Ark., vice I. D. Price, removed; Carl C.
