He Disappoints Some Liberal and Enter prising Hotel Men, and Agrees to Accept the Inauguration Committee' Programme. Special to the Sentinel: Wafhiügton, Jan. 11. A good deal of dis appointment is expressed by Washington hotel men who were competing for the en tertainment of Mr. Cleveland daring his stay here before Inauguration. Thev are told that he will likely come here on the night of March 2- or the morning of the 3J. This information is direct from Albany through private Intelligence. It is learned now that a couple of the leading hotel men offered Mr. Cleve land their beat suites of rooms and the very best fare they could produce, for not only himself, but as many personal friend a3 he desired to have with him, all free gratis. Even more than this, the personal expenses of the Tiesidential party, including refrschmenta and carriage, were to be paid. All these things are refused. II Mr. Cleveland stops at a public hoatilery it is to be one of the most quiet ones, and one that has cot been reeking him. Ho is mora likely, it la stated, however, to accent the courtesy of a friend and remain at a private house after cornice here. 'He thinks he can there have more privacy. Mr. Cleveland is going to surf nee people, too, by consenting to be inaugurate! in the usual way. He has informed the Inaugura tion Committee that it can proceed as is customary and that he will, with pleasure. conform to the programme. "Cleveland is one of the mo:t thoroughly self-adjusting men I ever saw," said a member of the Inauguration Committee to-day. "He can be as plain as a farmer's boy or as fashionable as anybody. While he prefers simplicity, ha realizes as well as anybody the importance of this occaiioo, and I assure you there will be no ground for any bsdy saying he acted in any way lor effect. The ceremony and precession will be as attractive as any ever seen here, and the attendance will far exceed all other Inaugurations." DIPLOMATIC RUN' CO SI DE. Some Very Undiplomatic Statement from aa Attache of the British Legation. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, Jan. 11. "No wonder England doesn't feel justas pleasant assuashine to the United States," observed a British Legation attache to-day. "Congress takes no notice," he continued, "of the propositions for blowing our people sky high and destroying our property, when right in the most populous city in this country preparations for this work are going on daily. We are compelled to maintain a detective force in the United State?, and to keep men at the principal ports of entry to detect your citizens in their arrangements for destroying our lives and goods. I have no idea that any notice will be taken officially of this Phalen tragedy in O'Donovan Rossa's office, in New York. It seems, from the ante-mortem statement of Fhelan that the office was rendezvous for dynamiters. Do you sui pcae the secret seivlce will be. puon the clew this man has gven" No; I Eay not. The United State is the only haven the enemies of the British Government has. Here the plots are laid. And yet our country furnishes for this the best market she has. We are friendly, socially, commercially, but docs it look like thi3 country reciprocates these kindly feelings ?''

The managen of the medical colleges in this city are working for the passage of a bill providing that the unclaimed bodies of deceased paupers shall be distributed pro rato among the medical institutions here for the advancement of anatomical science. While there is rm Jaw. fa this District prohibiting body si -n g, medical a'udents say the provisions of the proposed bill would make a convenience for them. Now they are required to pay from $15 to 525 each for stiff or go out and dig them up themselves, and they prefer to get them free and have them hauled up to the Institutes. It is likely the bill will pass. Body-snatchers, upon convictiction, are sometimes imprisoned for six months here. UNITED STATES MINT. The Director of the Mint Makes His An. nual Statement.

Under the rules of the House, the Committee on the District of Columbia will be entitled to the Moor to morrow, and it will endca7or to pass a number of bills of only locl interest.

These special or ders, however, are not to interfere with the consideration or general appropriation bills.

If possible the River and Harbor Appropriation bill will be reported on Wednesday or Thursday. As soon thereafter as an opportunity is offered an effort will be made to pass it. There premises to be a strenuous contest during the week between the friends of epecial crders and advocates of prominent measures, which have been before the House for some time. Mr. Singleton will endeavor to secure the passage of a bill authorizing the construction of a bailding for the . accommodition of the Congressional library; Mr.Townshend the Mexican Tension bill, and Mr. Willis the Lduc&tional bill.

"When the House decides to discuss the bills fcr public buildinge," he continues, "I will cot ask it to pass the bills which have been favorably reported in a lump, but will offer each bill separately, to be pasted or defeated on its merits." There are fifty-eight bills for piblic buidirgs, aggregating an appropriation of $0.232,2000, which have been reported to tbe Home in the present Congress, and which are tow pending Two bills, each providing for a public building at Waco, Tex , aod the ether for a .building at Carson Ci'y, Nev., and each appropriating $100,000, have been pared.

The appropriation during the Forty fourth and Forty -fifth Congusses were mostly for buildings thaprevioos Congresses had directed should bt erected in the larger cities. In the Senate the Naval Appropriation bill in likely to be reported from the Appro priation Committee and reached for discus sion and passage early in the week. Tie diKmsion of the Inter-State Commerce bill and Nicaragua treaty will probably consume the remainder of the week. A Prize Ficht. New Okleaks, Jan. 11.

Pa?e was tbe first to be recaptnred, a farmer nab bing bim just aa be was about to take a horse from the farmer's barn, to further his escape. Early this morning the other three were found in the hay in a barn on the prieon gronod". Hogan, Deedy and Burns are three cf the most desperate characters ccrfLed in the prison. The quartet effected
their escape from the cells throngh the uss of skeleton keys, which had been obtained in some manner unknown, and by having previously cut away the bar of a window erat, and thus found the means of exit ta

The Dispatch's Eliza beth, Pa., special eajs: "By an explosion of her boiler the steam tag Mike Dougherty was completely demolished near here at 1C o'clock to day. Two of the crew were killed aLd the others badly hurt. The boat had put a&hore near Bellvne Landing to make repairs to some of the machinery that had broken kown, and the explosion occurred while the lay there. The killed and injured are: William Holier, steward, Allegheny, lott; William Matthews, deckhand, Allegheny, lost; Gardner Jackson, Captain, of Allegheny, badly ecalded; Hugh J. Torter, entieer, of Allegheny, cheek laid oren; T. McQaid, deckhand. South Side, rittsburg, leg hurt slightly. The retraining member of the crew was Eenry Brown, fireman, cf Allegheny. He is injured. The hull of the unlucky steamer and vicinity for 200 yards around, is indeed a scene of desolation. The force of tbe explosion must have been terrific. The hull lies in shallow water near shore, hall exposed, and cne Bide blown oat. The entire upper works are blown of Fragments of the machinery and fixtures lis scattered all round on the ground, and manywere blown far Lato the river, where they eitber eank or floated cif. The boiler which burst lies a shattered and battered wreck fifty jarda up along the shore and th' other, but little injured, wai blowu far up the bank, but fell back into the river. Two hundred yard3 down the shore lies the pilot wheel and a section of the hurricane deck, while up the hillsids, and far back: over the river, lies the pilothocfp, hiie the fitcvo and smokestack were blown entire'y over the hill, at least 200 fret high, and lie in a hoilowhalf a mile away, and fragments of woodwork and machinery are strewn thickly over the crouni for a. great distance around. The two lost men hive not been found yet They are suppose i to have been blown into the river, which is being drarged for bodies. Viewice the wreck and evidence of the awful force expended, it is a matter of great wonder that any escaped alive. The engineer, in a broken voice and with tears in his eyes, tid his experierce to your correspondent as follows: We were coming up light, and everything was going right, when a valve-stem broke. It was not a serious thing, and we ran sshore to fix it. This took about half aa hour, and we had got just about finished when I sent the fireman down in the hold to get a bolt. In tbe meantime I had one of tbe boys try the water. He found two gauges ard about 1C0 pounds. We are allowed 175. I thought the fireman was staying tco long. I had etarted down the steps myse f when tbe boiler let go. The fact that I was below saved me from serious injary cr death, for the force of the exploiioa was upward. The fireman W88 in the bold, and the only cne not hurt. The Captain was just where I left him and a? badly scalded. McQaaid was blown clear out on shore and thus had his leg hurt. The ether two poor fellows had gone forward, the steward to get dinner, and Matthews to let the boat loose. I was careful, and I am sure It was-not my fault, and I don't know what caused it." The people cf the neighborhood flocted to the scene, startled by the loud report The injured were speedily gathered upandtaien to a neighboring house, where all possible was done for them, two physicians happily being in sight when the explosion occurred. Subsequently they were taken on the steamer Venture to tle-ir homes in Allegheny. The Captain is very severely ecalded on his hands and side, but will probably recever. The engineer bad a narrow escape from bleeding to death from an artery severed In his cheek. Otherwise be is not hurt, but is in great mental anguish. The wrecked steamer was a tug beat of the screw propeller order and drawirg f?x feet four Inches. She was owned by tbfi Brown coal firm of rittsburg, and was three years old. Her equipment was the very best in every particular, and well posted river men put her value at $15,005. She is a complete wreck. Fhelan Improving A Spanish-American Meeting. New ork, Jan. 11.
