Appearance of the Presidential Party. ".TsniNGTOK, March 4. At 10:00 o'clock President Harrison and Vice-president Morton and party entered the ball-room, . amid cheers and applause. The President "was escorted from the executive mansion by Chairman Britton, and as his carriage drew .tip to the curb, General McCammon opened the door of the vehicle, and, offering the President his arm. anicklv escorted

Lim to the room of the Commissioner of Pensions. Following the President's carnage were those containing Mrs. Hamson, Mrs. Russell Harrison, Mrs. McKee and .Mrs. Halford, accompanied bv Mr. Russell Harrison, Mr. McKee and Miss Halford. A room adjoining the ono occupied by the J'resident was reserved for the ladies of t7 J,residential party. As soon as the President had removed his coat, an informal reception was held, and ho shook hands with hundreds of intimate friends. Meantime the Vice-president had reached f e building under the escort of Col. Mvron 31. 1 arker. He was accompanied by Mrs. Morton and three daughters, under escort of J udge Strong. Both the presidential and Tico-presidential parties were surrounded oy members of the iloor and receptiou coraimttees. In a few minutes tho two distinguished ?Toups met in the President's apartment and exchanged greetings. ih narrow stairway leading to the President gallery were crowded throughout the evening with men and women going to the reception or coming from it. Tho ioorway seemed to be the center of attraction for the crowd on the floor. They flood, open-mouthed, waitiDg for the President to reappear. From the narrow gallery to tho pagoda in the vuter of the great room there was an unLioken mass of faces, all turned in tho isame directiou. Along the gallery poured the throng of incoming guests and promeniders. It took all the eilortsof a half dozen stalwart committeemen to keep the stream from being diverted into the stairway. Guests who held invitations fortbeprivato reception, had dirlicnlty in peuctrating the crowd and obtaining reeoguization. At about 10:25, Dr. Ruth, the chairman of ihe floor committee, appeared on the stairway, leading the distinguished party. Immediately behind him was W. F. Cody "Buffalo Bill"), whose leonine hpad rose far above those about him. Behind him arao representatives of the press associations; then followed tho President on the arm of General McCammon. Behind fol lowed distinguished members of thepresidential party; then came Vice-president Morton on the arm of Admiral Jonctt. The members of the floor committee Joined Ihands and forced a passage through tho dense crowd, through which the president ial party passed up the south side of the .great half. Tho President was greeted with applause and cheers. He bowed right and left, and occasionally stormed to shake liands, as he caught eight of familiar figures. As he came down tho other side of the ball-room, he stopped for a Tvord with General fcherman. who joined the line amid the applause of thoso immediately about them. At the end of the hall the procession turned to the right and passed along the gallery to the suppertoohi. Them tho party was joined by Mrs. Harrison. Mrs. Morton and the ladies ac companying thein. Before retiring to their rooms, the Presi dent and Vice-president, at the request of General McCammen, came to the railing of the balcony overlooking the ball-room, and for several minutes watched the gay throng moving below. Another brief reception v as then held, and at 11:50 o'clock the presidential and vice-presidential parties. escorted bv the reception committee, left the Lnilding. Cheers greeted them incessantly as they descended tho stairs ami walked out of the ball-room. The arrangements for this grand nnalo of tho inauguration celebration have been admirable. The attendance estimated at 10.000 has exceeded that of ray previous inaugural ball. but. with a keen foresight into the possible emergency that might arise, and with absolute thoroughness of metnod, everything seems to have been done neccsput -r m vwumv v . u.x.u.u.

According to a Cabinet lady, Mrs. Cleveland was eager to attend the ball, and is not a little disappointed at the decision reached by her husband. Sirs. Cleveland feels herself secure in the hearts of the people and knows that her presence at the n&rrlson inaugural ball would be taken as an act of grace find good temper. Mrs. Cleve land's reception would be scarcely less enthusi astic than that which is sure to greet Mrs. Harrison, and nothing is more certain than that Mrs. Harrison would be glad to see Mrs. Cleveland la the ball-room and to see her reign there close with a warm tribute to her popularity. The Fn ldent, however, held to the view that the Inaugural ball Is given solely in honor of the incoming President and his family and Vice-President and and Mrs. Morton, and that It would be in bad taste for the retiring President to intrude himself upon the scene. There is on all sides sincere regret at the President's determination. Mrs. Cleveland has never attended an inaugural ball, and all Washington would be glad to see her Monday night. THRIFTY WAS IIIN GTONIANS. Now They Manage the Inauguration Without Cent of Cost to Themselves "Washington Special. What these Washingtonians do not know about managing an inaugural a flair is not worth knowing. They are experts. They appear particularly well versed in the financial department, having long since learned how to make a great display with out any cost to themselves. Two months ago the Washingtonians were raising their inaugural fund. All tho world was startled by their liberality. Citizen after citizen gave $2,000 or 1,000, and in an incredibly short time tho treasurer announced that ho had &)0,(XJ0 cash in tho bank. Peoplo said: "Good for Washington. She is not afraid to go down into her pocket for the necessary funds with which to make the inauguration a great success, rutuio spirited citizens, those." lint a look underneath tho surface shows that Washington has a verv large string attached to every littlo dollar of her investment. The committee takes possession of the government nervations, or little open squares at the intersections of streets with Pennsylvania avenue and rents them out to builders of viewing stands. It takes possession of the Pension building and gives therein a grand ball for which $10 per couple is charged for admissiou. Supper is extra and the caterer who serves it must nay handsomely for the privilege. The barber, the bootbfack, the telegraph company, must pay too. All this goes into the cotters of tho committee, and when the crowds are gone and the cash is counted up the inaugural managers find not only their oO.OOO on hand, but a handcome surplus for profit. The wonder is that they do not declare dividends instead of devoting the surplus to charity, as is their custom. Thus tho people who dance havo to pay tho fiddler ami the inauguration does not cost the Washingtonians a cent. Stop that tough, lirowu's Expectorant is onljr 50 cents a bottle

THE CABINET SLATE FIXED

Ex-Governor Busk Said to Be Booked for the Department of Agriculture. Eiddlebcrser Said to Be in a Penitent Hood After His Disgraceful Actions of Sunday Closing Scenes in Congress. THE CABINET. Ex-Governor Rusk Will Be Secretary of Agriculture what Is Thought of the Slate. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. "Washington, March 4. It is now definitely asserted that ex-Governor Rusfc, of Wisconsin, will be the Secretary of Agriculture. The Cabinet slate stands, beyond a question, as follows: Secretary of Etate James G. Blaine, of Maine. Secretary of the Treasury William Wlndom, of Minnesota. Secretary of War Redflcld Proctor, of Vermont. Secretary of the Navy Benjamin F. Tracer, of New York. Secretary of the Interior John W. Noble, of Missouri. Postmaster-general John Wanamaker, of Pennsylvania. Attorney -general W. U. II. Miller, of Indiana. Secretary of Agriculture Jeremiah Busk, of Wisconsin. Mr. Palmer goes to join Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Flatt and Mr, Miller in meditations on what might have been, and Mr. Rusk goes to the Department of Agriculture. Tho first reply to all questions as to a general estimate of tho Cabinet is the statement that Mr. Harrison has certainly succeeded in surprising the people. He has surprised them, but it is a satisfactory surprise. The Cabinet, it is believed, will be an honest, hard-working and effective Cabinet. It will map out for itself certain lines of work, and these lines of work it will distinctively carry out. While there are, of course, among tho many politicians who are here some bitter disappointments, an a whole they show a willingness to accept the new Cabinet, and to give it a chance. Few men will say that every member of the Cabinet fully comes up to their own personal preferences, but taken individually and collectively, it is conceded that the Cabinet will compare most favorably with any that has preceded. What is the popular estimate of Mr. Blaine and Mr. Windom everybody knows, for they have been before the people so long that they are thoroughly known. Mr. Noble is a stranger to most people here, but all reports unite in saying that his sterling honesty and his excellent law Knowledge thoroughly fit him for the duty of the Interior Department. The same is said of Messrs. Miller. Tracy and Proctor. They aro not intimately known to the body of Washington statesmen, but those who Known tlieui ail nredict that thev will nrove themselves men fully competent to fill aU the requirements of their duties. Mr. Wanamaker has never before appeared here as a politician, and it is believed that he will bring into the Postoffice Department those ideas of business whicn have placed him in tho front rank of successful merchants. Mr. Rusk's well-known love for the farmer is ?;enerally accepted as sufficient guarantee or the manner in which he will look after the real interests of the great body of agri culturists. RIDDLEBERGEIl. lie Did Not Appear In the Senate Yesterday His Career as a Dully. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, March 4. Senator Riddleberger did not put in an appearance at the Capitol to-day. His friends say that he has passed his rebellious point, and is now in a penitent mood. After his arrest by Ser-geant-at-arms Canaday, last night, he was taken to his hotel by a friend, where ho joined his wife, son and two daughters. Mrs. Riddleberger was in the gallery at tho time of her husband's arrest, and was overcome by humiliation and agitation. She fainted, and was taken to her rooms at the hotel just before the Senator arrived. Riddleberger proves to have been a bully during his entire senatorial career. It has been reported, from timo to time, that he was in a pugilistic temper, and would fight any man who attempted to take him off tho floor of the Senate. He went so far, a number of times, when threatened wi th arrest by the President pro tempore of the Senate, as to say that no man could take him from his seat, and live. When Colonel Canaday ap proached him, last night, in the Senate, the Senator looked savagely at him, and in a threatening attitnde inquired If he intended to take him away by force. The Serceant-at-arms kindly responded in the athrmative and then forcibly moved him into the cloak-room, the door to which was only ten feet away. Inside the cloak-room Riddleberger resumed the role of bully, and, throwing up his right arm as a guard, drew back his left as if to strike tho Sergeant-at-arms. The latter said: "Mr. Senator, von had best not strike me; I am acting under tho direction of tho President of the Sen ate, and intend to enforce my instructions If it costs my me." 'I can whin yon. and Inealls. too " ex claimed Senator Riddleberger, increasing his pugilistic height and attitude. "That may bo," said Colonel Canaday, "but if you strike me, it may prove a great mistake for yon." Ah the Serseant-at-arms said this, ho looked Riddleberger in the face. The latters eves dropped, his hand went down. and by doing so he acknowledged that he had met his match. It looked for a few mo ments as if there would be bloodshed. Both men were armed, and if there had oeen blows, the difficulty would undoubtedly enueuvery senousiy. CLOSING HOURS OF CONGRESS. Incidents of the Going Out of the Old Sen ate and the Coming: In of the New. Washington, March 4. The executive session of the Senate ended at 2:50 a. m., and when the doors wero reopened the con ference report on the sundry civil bill was presented and agreed to. Then the doors closed again and the Senate took a recess until 9:S0. When the Senate met again no business of importance was transacted. Shortlv be fore 12 o'clock the following resolution was introduced: Resolved, That the thanks of the Senate are due. and are hereby tendered, to Hon. John J. Ingalls, president pro tempore of the Senato, for the uniformly ahle, courteous and impartial manner in which he has presided over its delibera tions. It was unanimously adopted. Then Mr. Ingalls rose in his seat and said: Senators Conscious of a serious desire to deserve your approval, and aware that that would be secured only by constant devotion to your service, the Chair assumes, with diffidence, tho jrreat trut conferred by yonr suffrage which, tothr he rpllnnuifihcA with the rrifmiTirtoa tnde for the honor of resolution of commenda tion, and declares mat uis tenate now stands adjourned sine die. When Mr. Ingalls had relinouished the chair. Vice-president Morton, who had previously taken tho oath of office, ascenueu xo mo cnair aim saiu: Senators I shall enter on the discharee of the delicate, and. at times, iimtortant. duti f at rhA position to -which I havo been called by the leople of the United States, without exierience as a pre-Hidinc: onJcer, and, therefore. beaieak in advance the indulgent consideration which you have been always rady to extend to the occu pant of the chair. As presiding officer of the tcnate It will be my effort to administer the rules of procedure with entire fairness, and to treat every Senator with the courtenv and con. fcidcrntion due at all times to the representatives of great States In a lejrislative body. I hope that onr official and personal relations will prove mutually airreenble, and that our duties will be dte charted iu a manner to maintain the dignity of the fceuate, and to add to the prosLast Acts of the House. Washington, March 4. When the House reconvened this morning the conference re port was agreed to on the bill forfeiting the ands granted to the State of Michigan to

aid in the construction of a railroad from Marquette to Ontonagon. Mr. Blanchard, of Louisiana, offered the following resolution: That the Sargeant-at-arms of the Ilonse' taVe the necessary steps to secure forthwith to members of the House and to the families of members of tie House free access through tho corridors of the Capitol. The resolution was based upon the refusal of the Senate employes to recognize tickets to the Senate galleries issued to Representatives and given to members of their families. ,A ' Mr. Anderson, of Kansas, moved to amend the resolution by adding the words "and because of the arrogant assumption of the Senate and the insolence of its employes, the Sergeant-at-arms is directed to open the passageway between the two chambers," but this was ruled out. on a point of order. A heated discussion ensued, and a message from the Senate announcing the adop. tion by that body of a resolution according to the request of the House, as contained in the Blanchard resolution, under such regulations as the presiding officer of the Senate might prescribe, did not serve as much of a balm for the wounded feelings of the House, and it was unceremoniously laid upon the table. . , , . Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, being mthe chair, Mr. Reed, of Maine, offered the following resolution: That the thanks of Congress are tendered to the Hon. John G. Carlisle, the Sneaker, for the courtesy, abllltv and fairness with which ho has presided over the deliberations of the Fiftieth Congress. Mr. Hatch spoke in favor of the resolurion, which was unanimously adopted by a tising vote. The committee appointed, jointly with a Senate committee, to wait upon the President and inform him that Congress was ready to adjourn, not haying returned. Speaker Carlisle assumed the chair and said: Gentlemen of the House of Representatives Under the circumstances I will detain you but a moment to return mv thi.nks for the resolution you have Just adopted, and to express ray grateful acknowledgment of the kindness and courtesy which has characterized all your intercourse with me as presiding officer of the Iloupe. After continuous service for three terms I will leave this chair to-day with sentiments of the warmest friendship and the most profound respect, not only for the gentlemen who com pose tne present House, but for all that preceded them. And while the termination of my official labors and responsibilities alfords, of it?elf , no occasion for jjewet, I cannot, without reluctance, sever the relations which have existed so long between us. Looking back on the scenes of excitement and confusion which necessarily occur from timo to time in a body like this, it Is impossible not to remember with regret many unpleasant Incidents aud baity words, but it is gratifying to know that no feeling of resentment survives to disturb our friendly personal relations hereafter. And now, gentlemen, in declaring an adjournment which clones the first century of our legislative history under the Constitution, I may be permitted to express the earnest hope that when another hundred years shall have rolled around the union of these States, under which the capacity of the people for self-government has already been demonstrated, may still endure applause, and that the representatives of the icople assembled In this or In some greater hall, may have a constituency as Intelligent, as patriotic, and as free as those which sent us here, Renewed and continued applause. Tne House now stands adjourned sine die. As the Speaker's gavel emphasized his declaration tho members burst into a hearty cheer, and immediately formed in lino to proceed to the Senate. The floor was soon deserted, the lights, which had been burning brightly all day, were extinguished and the chamber was given over to the much-needed care of tho janitors.
