the
.Semite in p.xtrji session. ]Cv?ry sent was liilcil, Mrs. Stevenson and friends occupying prominent phices to .see the new vice president preside. Ho did so with perfect self-possession. The chaplain had hardly finished his prayer when at 1.1:50 Maj. IYIHIOTI, the president's executive clerk, appeared upon the floor of the senate hearing the nominations of thoollieers of President Cleveland's cabinet, as follows:
Walter Q. Greshain, of Illinois, to be secretary of suite. John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky, to be scoretavy of the treasury. iiunici S. Lamont, of New York, to bo secretary of war.
Hie-hard Olney, of Mussuchusetts, to be attorney general. Wilson S. Uisscll, of New York, to be postmaster general.
Hilary A. H^rbort, of Alabama, to be secretary of the navy. Huke Smith, of Georgia, to bo secretary of the Interior. .Tulitis:
4Storlinj?
Morton, of Nebraska, to be
secretary of agriculture.
After the journal of Saturday's session was read Mr. Pruden presented his messapo and on motion of Senator Harris the senate went into executive session. The executive session lasted le&s than half an hour. There was a scurry among the newspaper men to learn what had beeu done and it was quietly announced that all of the nominations hud beeu confirmed. There w'as no opjmsition, so far as could be learned, all the senators voting' aye. As soon as the doors were opened the senate adjourned till Thursday noon.
To Clmnfffi Inauguration Day.
Before oac'.journmeut Senator Sherman (O.) introduced a joint, resolution which was laid on the table for the present. It proposes that the terms of olfico of president and vice president and of the Fifty-fourth congress shall continue until noon of the 30th of April, 1S07 that the senators whose terms would expire on the 4th of March, IStiT, shall continue iriofiiee until noon of the "Otli of April and that that time shall hereafter lie substituted for the 4th of March as the commencement and termination of the official terms of the president, vice president, senators and representatives in congress.
Failed of ContlrniatIon.
There were thiri.v-six nominations sent to the senate by President Llarrison during the last .session that failed of confirmation. Of this number one was rejected, that- of John V. L. Findlay. of Maryland, to be arbitrator for the t'niU'd States on the Chilian claims commission. The name of (J. M. i.ambertson was substituted by the president, but no action was taken on it by the senate. The nomination of ltcnton llanchett, of Michigan, to be (successor of Judge Jackson as judge of the Sixth district court, was shelved by lieing placed on the calender, after reciving favorable recommendation by the judiciary committee. It is expected that I'resident Cleveland will name some southern democrat for the place.
Kcflignod lli.* Judjyexhip.
Judge Gresham's resignation from the. circuit bench was presented to I'resident Cleveland Monday morning and accepted before his nomination as secretary of state was made out There has beeu very little talk aiou: his successor, though it is presumed that.some democratic lawyer from Illinois will get tlio place. Judge Allen's ambition to go a step higher on the judicial ladder is well known. Senators Vilas and Mitchell would like to have Judge Jenkins, of Wisconsin, appointed, and they have a good deal of influence.
Joiiah Quincy, of Massachusetts, has
formally tendered the position of assistant secretary of state by 'Secretary Gresham, which he accepted. Mr. Quiney is a member of the national democratic committee, and in the last campaign was chairman of the committee on campaign literature, lie a graduate of Harvard and a lawyer by profession.
The New Congress.
The senate has not yet been advised of the. appointment by the governor of I]on. I.ec Mantle from Montana. The present roll call of the senate shows democrats, MS republicans, 1 populist, 1 independent and 1 farmers' alliance 1 three vacancies. The vacancies are one each in Montana, Washington and Wyoming. Should republicans eventually till all of these vacancies, which can scare 1 be the case in view of
TieekvviUi's
There is much speculation regarding the tilling of important foreign missions by President Cleveland. The appointment of Isaac P. Gray, of Indiana, as minister to Mexico, and of Frederick R. Condert, of New York, as minister to France, are said to be assured. Judge Lambert Tree, ex-miu-ister to Belgium and Russia, is strongly talked of as minister to Great Britain, and the name of ex-secre-tary ltavard is also mentioned in this connection. l'Jx-Gov. Ingersoil. of Connecticut, it is thought, may be sent to Italy. (Sen. Uragg, of Wisconsin. may get either the Brazilian or Argentine mission. M. V. Gannon, of Nebraska, is talked of for C'hili. Gen.

man Wheeler, of Michigan, are rival candidates for commissioner of pensions. John H. Denton, of North Dakota, would like to be commissioner of the laud office.
President Cleveland, it is stated, will send in his judicial nominations in about two weeks. There is going to be a surprise among them. Senator Charles J. Faulkner, of West Virginia, is to become chief of the District of Columbia court of appeals. This is a court created at the session of congress just ended. It is a life office and a desirable one. for a lawyer. Faulkner has six full years ahead of him. but he prefers a life position on the bench
Askflil to flpnn the Fair.
WASHINGTON, March A special committee called at the white house and invited President Cleveland lo formally open the World's Columbian exposition at Chicago in May. Mr. Cleveland said that he was afraid tho press of executive business would be so heavy that it would be impossible for him ot be present, but he would take the committee's invitation under advisement and give an answer in a few days. Meanwhile he hoped that matters would shape themselves so that he could, find it convenient to attend.
WANT MORE PAY.
Conc«!rl«d Action Taken liy Switchmen on All Cliicngo I.lneH—Advanced Wildes Demanded.
CHICAGO, March'". —The switchmen of Chicago made formal demands on Monday on all the roads running into the city for an increase of 18 per cent, above the present scale of wages. This dem.ind covered twenty-one trunk lines, as follows
The Atchison, TopcUa & Santa Fc, Baltimore & Ohio, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Chicago Great Western, Chicago. Hock Island & Pacific, Chicago & Alton, Chicago & Eastern Illinois, Chicago & Eric, Chicago & Grand Trunk, Wisconsin Central, Chicago & Norttnvcalorn. Chicago & Wtstorn Indiana, Illinois Central, Lake Shore & Michigan .Southern, l.oulsviile, New Albany & Chicago, Michigan Central, New York, Chicago & St. Louis (.Nickel Plate*, Wabusli, Fort Wayne, Pan-Handle, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul.
The switchmen's demands cover main and tenant lines, about thirty in all, every railway line in fact entering the city. In addition to the railway companies alTected by the demand similar action was taken in regard to the following private firms The Stock Yards company, tho Pullman company, tho Iroquois Furnace company of South Chicago aud the World's Fair company. All these last-named companies employ a great number of switchmen, who receive the same wages as those paid by the railroads.
The outlook, from the best information attainable, is that the general managers of the roads will give their answer to these demands about the middle, of this week, and if the demands are not favorable the switchmen will strike simultaneously on every road running into Chicago between the middle and lastof this week. It is believed that either side would be willing to compromise if the other would make, the iirst step in that direction.......

1NUIA.NAPOI.IS, 1ml., March 7.—The reception tendered cx-1'resident. Harrison upon his return home Monilay was greater than was ever awarded to Henjainin Harrison, president. There was a tremendous outpouring of the people to receive him. It was not political, but a gathering made up of people of nil political faiths who came out to honor him as a citizen. The ride tip Illinois street was a perfect ovation for the ex-president Cheer upon cheer rent the air, and at one or two points he was covered with flowers thrown from tho crowd, which seemed to please him exceedingly. People pressed to catch sight of him, aud in the crowd he recognized many old acquaintances whom he addressed by name.
As he turned on Washington street lie was greeted by glad shouts of welcome, and from the windows and verandas of the buildings hats aud handkerchiefs were, waved. From Illinois to Pennsylvania street there was a large crowd, but there was not so much noise and enthusiasm. At Market street a halt was made, the ranks were opened and the carriages were driven throngh to the Denison. Here was stationed the Indianapolis band playing "Auld Ljmg Syne."

Delaware street was profusely decorated with bunting, nearly every house showing one or more (lags. The windows along the street were filled with people, who cheered as the carriage bearing the ex-president passed. After the first two blocks had been passed the pace of the hprses was increased, and at a smart trot the party were driven up to tho door of the Harrison home. The doors were opened to receive Mr. Harrison, aud a small crowd had gathered to see him alight. The carriage soon deposited its load, and Mr. Harrison entered his home. As soon as the members of the family were inside, the door was shut. After waiting for some moments for a sign from the silent house, and getting none, the crowd of people, who were expecting a speech, departed and left tho house with its distinguished oceupanU.
Keceptioa at the State Capitol.
There was another outpouring of Lli people at night to welcome the ex-presi-dent into the state capitol. Mayor Sullivan presided, and there wore speeches by Gov. Matthews, Charles \V. Fairbanks and by Mr. Harrison. After the speeches the ex-president shook hands with his fellow citizens. Mr. C. W. Fairbanks mado the speech of welcome.

Gen. Harrison, in responding to the welcome, said that he could never regard any other place than Indianapolis his home. He was too old ?o make a new home, but not to old, he hoped, to renew those old associations which made Indianapolis so dear a home. After referring to tho progress made, both by the city and state, since he first went to Washington as president, he said: "The nation, too, has had its growth and development. Some lines of progress liaye been indicated. Within the last tov weeks I hart the pleasure of lifting over one of the greatest merchant steamships IhM floats upon the sea that flag of beauty that hangs before ine. [Cheers.] "I regarded it as the precursor and the pioneer of the return of the time when the American flag was seen in every sea and the American navy was held iu estimation by other nations. [Cheers.] Only one week ago I had tho pleasure of seeing the greatest ship that has ever been built in America—a battle-ship, which, when completed, would be able to cope with ihe greatest ship that England has upon the sea—lioat from her ways into tho Delaware, with the name Indiana on her side. ICheers.] "I will not speak to you of those duties which these years of absence have brought me, nor of their performance. I left you with but one certainty, and I return with the certainty thai I bad no other motive in ray heart than the honor of the flag, tho sacrcdncss of the constitution and the prosperity of our people. [Cheers.] I come to you again accompanied by a great sorrow but I trust—and your presence here gives me your witness—unattended by any slmme growing out ot the discharge of my public duties.

WASHINGTON,
March 7.—The silver iml tnr-
117 question*, the ami-option bill and reduction of appropriations wore the lending topicH of consideration by the Fifty-second congress, which expired by constitutional limitation at V2 o'clock noon Saturday, and secondary only in importance to these mutters wore measures relaiing to the world's fair, equipment of railroads with automatic- car-coupler*, national quariimlue and immigration. 13ohring st-a aud Hawaiian annexation.
Nothing of an nfttrmatiw nature, except to prevent two items in tho Mckintay act taking eflect, aciually accomplishedvso far us rispocta silver, the ta'rifT or anti-optiors, the action tuk.:*n on each of these questions in one branch of cont'resa beiug negatived by the action or nonaction of the other branch.
Approximately house and JKfi senate bills ana joint resolutions became laws, making G00 acts put on the statute books as the result of the work of congrcss. A majority of these measures were of interest only to individuals or localities, being for lhe relief of citizens, for the brldtrin^ of streams, for the District ot Columbia, fcr rights of way, we. An unusual proportion of the claims bills was for the relief of southern men.
The house passed in round numbers 0*25 bills, of whseh iiOO failed of passage in the senate, and in the neighborhood of 6ii" bills passed by the senate failed in the house, including a long list of pubiie-buikllut: bills, many private pension bills and other measures involving increased expenditures.
Vetoed b.v the T'reuldeut.
Three bills were vetoed by the president, vi*., to refer the MeUarruhan claim to the court of claims (a second McGarrahatt bill failing of action in the house), to amend the court of appeals act and iu relation to marshals in tho United States courts in Alabama. This last bill became a law by passage over the veto, Seuator Hoar stating that it had beeu vetoed through a misunderstanding of Its provisions. The president subjected three bills to a "pocket" veto and iwo other bills failed of engrossment in time for presentation to him. All were of comparatively small importance.
The pension and census oniccs, tho whisky trust, Panama Canal and Pacific Mail companies, the Watson-Cobb charges, the Pinkerton system und Homestead troubles, the Maverick and Spring Garden bank failures, the Ellifi islam! immigatJon station wero investigated by cor.gressiounl conunUtees, but nothing came of the reports submitted. .'
The result of the agination of the necessity for a retrenchment of expenditures is not- apparent in any considerable change in the aygrebate appropriations carried by the-uutionalsuppiy bills, for they amount to about as much as in tho Fif-ty-ilrst congress, laws on the. statute books preventing some large reductions which other* wise possibly would have hern tnnde, while the decreases which it was possible to effect were oiTset by increased appropriations for pensions and rivers and harbors.
Xot a single public building bill passed tho house and it was only by putting number of them on the sundry civil appropriation bill that any appropriations whatever for public buildings wero secured.
Struggle Over Silver.
The silver question was kept steadily befor* tho attention of congress by the alternate efforts of the advocates of free coiuage aud of the repeal of the Sherman law. The coinage committee of the house in the Iirst session reported a free-silver bill, which, after an exciting debate, was saved from defeat by the casting vote of the speaker, but was. afterward filibustered to death, the friends of the bill fulling to secure the signatures of a majority of the democrats to petition for a closure rule in its behalf. The senate then passed a free-coinage bill, but when the free silver men renewed their light in the house they were outnumbered by fourteen votes, and, of course, failed. The anti-silver men meta similar fate in their efforts to secure a repeal of Ui* present law, the senate refusing by a decisive-vote to consider it, and the house killing the Andrew-C-ate bill by declining to vote so as to give its friends the parliamentary right-to move closure on it. without which it eouec-dedly could never be forced to a vote in the closing hours of the congress.

An Aireetlug Scene.
At Richmond, where the Indianapolis
the house
adopted a policy of attacking the McKinloy uct iu detuil largely for political reasons and partly for the reason that in view of the political complexion ot tho senate it was practically out of the question to pass a goneral tariff-re-vision bill through the senate, while special measures might stand some show of passage. The result was the enactment into law of two bills continuing block tin on the free list and tine linen at 35 per cent, ad valorem. Under the McKinley act large duties were to take effect on these items in the near future.
Other separate bills wero passed through the house, only lo be pigeonholed in the senate, as follows: Free wool and reduction of duties on woolen manufactures, free cotton bagging, ties, gins and cotton bagging machinery free binding twine free silver lead ores, where tho value, not the weight, of the silver exceeds that of the lend in any importation free tin plate, terne plate, taggers* tin, and the limitation to
bring into tho United States,
The anti-option bill passed both houses, but was killed by the refusal of the house to suspend the rules and agree by a two-thirds vote to the amendment put on the bill by the senate,

Harrison. At the conclusion of his remarks his voice faltered and his eyes grew noticeably dim as he said: "Again I thank j'ou. You know that my home-coming is touched with a deep sadness. You know the loss to which 1 refer." A few more words indistinctly mua-mured, while tears glided down his face, and the ex-president turned abruptly and reentered the car. As the train pulled out Gen. Harrison reappeared and stood with lifted hat, wfrile the crowd cheered heartily. ...
