VAiiiKGTOjr, December The Senate Chamber wore a fresh and tasteful appear ance tniamornlngr. The floors and galleries were newly carpeted and the desks glistened in their coat of varnish, the odor of which mingled fainlj with that of the bouquets and gorgeous flower devices which enlivened the picture. Senators began to arrive and take their seats before 11 o'dloct. Senators Stewart and Hiscock: being the first comers. For an hoar before noon the floor was a busy scene, member! of both parties, their friends, and the officers of the Senate taking this occasion to exchange greetings and campare notes. The chief topic of conversation with the majority was the prospect of a conflict over the admission of certain Democrat Senators-elect, and it early became known that the Republicans, In default of any caucus plan of action had concluded to follow the lead of their members of the Committee on Privileges and Elections. These bad been in Informal consultation, it waaaderst30d, and had reached the conclusion to make no opposition to the admission of Mr. Turpie, of Indiana, but to object to the admission of llr. Faulkner, of "West Virginia, on the ground that there were conflicting credentials from that state. The general opinion was that there would be no deadlock and that the usual course of opening proceedings would not be broken. The galleries were early crowded to overVoirim. Mrs. Cleveland, clad in a costume of dark green, and accompanied by Mrs. Gilder, Mn. Klngsford and several other lady friends, occupied the seats reserved for the family of the President in one of the private galleries. The diplomatic gallery was filled by members of the various legations, the front seat being occupied by the Chinese Minister, his secretaries and associates. The Minister wore a magnificent robe of light blue satin, and his companions were clad as richly, though in more subdued colors. PROCEEDINGS OF THE DAT. The proceedings of the day were opened with prayer by Chaplain Key. J. 0. BatJer. He asked that Senators might be endowed with wisdom and strength to meet the honorable and trying, responsibilities of the day and all the duties that gathered around them. The President of the Senate, Mr. Ioealls, then tcofc the chair and called the Senate to order. He said he would now place before the Senate the certificates of election, the certificates of appointment and other pipers received since the adjournment. The following papers were thereupon Submitted and read: Certificates of the Governor of Florida znakiDg the temnorary appointment of J. J. Fin ley as Senator from the 4th of March, 1S37, until the Legislature should fill the -vacancy caused by the expiratioa of the term of Senator Jones. Certificate of the Governor of Florida of the election by the Legislature of Samuel Pasco. Certificate of the Governor of New Jersey of the election of Ruf us BlodgettCertificate of the Governor of "West Virginia of the appointment by him of Daniel B. Lucas to fill the vacancy caused by the expiration of the term ot" Senator Camden. Certificate of the Governor ol West Vüginia of a summary of the proceedings by which the Legislature in special session elected Charles J. Faulkner as Senator to 511 the vacancy. Credentials of William E. Chandler as Senator from the State of New Hampshire. Protest of Daniel B. Lucas against the administration of the oath of office to Chas. J. Faulkner. The grounds of the protest are: (1) That the Executive of the state of West lrgmia has not certified to tee election of Charles J. 1 au'kner the seal of the State, as required by act t of Congress. (2) For reasons set out in the 5 brief ot Daniel . Lucas, a copv of which accompanied the protest. (3) Because Charles J. Faulkner was at the time and iate of hia alleged election, on the 5th of May, 18S7, a judge of the Thirteenth Judicial District of West Virginia, and therefore ineligible to the office of Senator. Tbe protest was laid on the table and ordered to be printed in tbe Record. ADMI5ISTERI5G THE OATH. Th-i ceremony of administering the oath of ofl.ee to the newly elected Senators was then proceeded with, such Senators being called in parties of four, and in alphabetical order. Tbe first four Senators thus called and sworn (in all instances with uplifted hands and not on the bible) were: Aldricb. Bate, Blogett and Chandler. The second four were: Cockrell, Daniel, Davis and Dawes. The third four cal'ed were Xdmiundä, Faulkner, George and Gorman. Senator Hoar objected, for the time being, to administering the oath of office to Mr. Faulkner. He understood that, whatever question arose concerning the title of that Senator to a seat, arose on the credentials themselves, tne whole proceeding of the Legislature and the history of the case beic? there disclosed and fully recited. Assuming that, In accordance with the uauages of the Senate, he would himself be a member of the Committee on Privileges and Electtons, he gave tne asjsorance that the question should be dealt with at the earliest possible moment, so that tbe gentleman entitled to the seat would be able to enter on the discharge of .his duties as Senator. Senator Kenna said that the course suggesUd seemed eminently appropriate and he trusted teat action would be taken with out tbe foiaaUt- of a vote. This esgsestion w&a adopted. The oath was administered to the other Ihne Sanators and subsequently to Sanators Gray, Hale, Hawley, Hearst, Reagan, Sawyer, Sherman, Siewart, Stockbridge and To j pie. .At the suggestion of Senator Vest the irivilegea of the floor were given to Mr. atL'kxer pending the desclsion of4tbe contest. v . . . , . Senator Harris presented a memorial lor a C0DSti'1on1 amendment prohibit ing tbe manucture, sale, importation, exportation or transportation of alcoholic drinks in the United States referred. Fenator Hoar presented a memorial of F. Winter and others in respect to the seat of becator Turpie. of Indiana, and moved its reference to the Committee on Privileges and Klectiocs. Sj ordered. Resolutions were adopted to intorm the House tLt a quorum of the Senate bad -aemb!ed, acd for the appointment of a comirlf eeof two seniors to join a like corfcunteof the nonse, and inform the President that quorums of both Houses had assembled, and that Congress wis ready to receive any communications he might p'.ease to make. Senators Momll and Morgan were appointed auch com. xnittee on part of the Senate, which th adjourned. nOUSK O REPRESENTATIVES. v a an tsr.Tow. December o. Long before the hour of noon the galleries of the House wrA crowded to their utmost capacity H'n Stators, drawn together to witness v- r-nfn arena of a new Congress. The i.u. war in the majority and their gay rMtnm lent an air of animation to the rhamber. On the floor members congretri and TchanEed ereeung and conLtnuiiArL There were few floral deco rations on the deska of membera. At noon the Clerk of the House callad the body to . crder an! wm thw to call the roll, wh.en

a crank in the gallery started a Salvation Army hymn, which he sang lustily until ejected by a doorkeeper, which was not until several minutes had elapsed, as the crowd impeded the official in his attempt to reach the musician. The Clerk then proceeded with the roll call, amid a good deal of confusion, caused Dy gentlemen renewing old acquaintances, or forming new ones, amid much talk and laughter. CARLISLE ELECTED SPEAKER. On the call of the roll 313 members answered to the their names and ;the Clerk announcea that, more than a quorum being present, the next business in order was the election of a Speaker. John G. Carlisle was tut in nomination by Mr. Cax, of New York; and Thomas B. Reed by Mr. Cannon, of Illinois. Toe vote resulted as follows: Total number of votes cast 313: for Carlisle 1C3, for Reed 14S, for Brumm, of Pennsylvania, 2. Of the four Independents, Mr. Anderson, of Iowa, voted for Carlisle; Mr. Nichols, of North Carolina and Mr. Smith, of Wisconsin, for Brumm, while Mr. Hopkins, of Virginia, did not vote. The clerk thereupon declared Mr. Carlisle to be the duly elected Speaker, aad that gentleman was escorted to the Speaker's desk by Messrs. Cox and Reed amid loud applause. The oath of office having been administered by Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, the Speaker rapped the House to order and said: "Gentlemen ot the House of Representatives: "In assuming for the third time the duties ot the laborious and responsible otiice for which you have just chosen me, I desire to tender my grateful thanks for the distinguished favor conferred, and to assure jou that it will be my constant endeavor to justify the confidence reposed In me by a fair aad impartial administration of tbe law governing your proceedings. In hsellbrts to promote the prompt and regular transaction of the public business, the presiding officer of a body like this is almost entirely dependent upon tbe cooperation of the gentlemen on the floor, and it is a very great encourament to one to know lrom past experiencs that he cm always rely upon your ai tlve support when he is right, and on your kind indulgence ever when he is In the wrong. "I shall doubtless have frequent occasion to invoke your indulgence, but I trust you will never have just cause to complain that it has been abused. There has scarcely ever been a time in our history when the continued prosperity of the country depended so largely upon legis lation in Congress as now, for the reason that the dangers which at this time threaten the commercial and industrial interests of the people are the direct results of laws which Congress alone can modify or repeal. Neither the Executive Department of the Gen' al Government nor the local authorities of the several States can deal effectively with the situation which now confronts us. Whatever is done must be done here, and if nothing is done, the responsibility must rest here. It must be evident to every one who has taken even a partial survey of public affairs that the time has now come when a revision of our revenue laws and a reduction of taxation are absolutely necessary in order to prevent a large and dangerous accumulation of money in the treasarv. "Whether tliis ought, oroughtnot, to have been done heretotore, is a question which it would te useless now to discuss. It is sufficient for us to know that the financial condition of the Government and tbe private businees of the people alike demand the prompt consideration of these subjects and the speedy enactment of some substantial measure of relief. Unfortunately we are menaced by dangers from opposite directions. While a policy ot non-action must inevitably result sooner or later in serious Injury to the country, we cannot be unmindful of the fact that hasty and Inconsiderate legislation on subjects more or less aßeitlng large financial and industrial interests might produce, temporarily at least, aiturbsccfs and embarrassments Which a more prudenCOUne WOUid entirely avoid. 'investments made and labor employed in the numerous and valuable industries which hare srown up and under our present system of taxation ought not to be disturbed by sudden and radical changes in the policy which they have adjusted themselves; out the just demands A 1 . 1 ,

I'fiP.L .u.c!Leaici' -me termed interests than any that could pos sibly le injuriously effected by a moderate and reasonable reduction of duties. No part of our people are more immedi ately or vitally interested in tbe continuance oi financial prosperity than those who labor for wsges. Upon tttm acd . their families must alwars fall the most disastrous con sequences of a monetary crisis; and they, fco. arc always tbe last to realize the benefit cf a return to prosperous times. Their weges are always tbe first to fall when the crisis comes, and the last to rise when it pes away. Our efforts should be to aliord the necessary relief to all without injury to the interests of any, and, therefore, that course of the legislation should be pursued which will guarantee the labor people of the country against the paralyzing effects of a general and prolonged financial depression, and at the same time not interfere with their steady employment, or deprive them of the just rewards of their toil. If this can be done and I believe it can, if our deliberations are conducted with the wisdom and patriotism which the gravity of the situation demands this Congress will have cause to congratulate itself on an achievement which promises peace and prosperity to the country for many years to come. These remarks maybe cor idered somewhat out of the usual course, and perhaps, not entirely pertinent to the occasion; but I believe yon will excuse them, gentlemen, because they reJate to subjects, which, as we assemble here to-day. are uppermost in the minds of all the people. On the orrect solution of the questions, which, the subject nessssarily involves, may depend the fate, not fjtly cf political parties, but what is far more important, tbe permanent welfare of the greatest acd most enlightened onstitUtendes in the world. "Again 1 thank yoa. gentlemen, for the conrplcious and honoroble place to which Ton bave assiened me, and without atJ . . m .

A subscription has been started to raise a fond for the purpose of erecting a monument to th great carnoi, grandfather of the new President. The F.xtremists still continue to oppose tne retention of General 8 issier as Governor of Paris. President 8adl-Carnot, in an interview with 21.

THE WAR OFFICE

ReporU of tie Work Perform&i is 8 :c re '.try Esdicoti'i 05 es. Defences Need Looking After The Army Should be Increased River and Harbor Impraxmeuti-NatM. Washihotow, December G. The annual report of the Secretary of War, transmitted to Congress to-day, shows that the expenditures made by the department during the last fiscal year amounted to 41,33ti,l(x. The estimates for the next fiscal year aggregate $53,338,710, against an appropriation for the present year ot $31,055.302. The Increase is caused by the incorpora tion of an estimate of $22,339,151 for public work, including river and harbor im provements, the expenditures on this account for tbe current vear amounting to only $1,303.409. There "ia also an increase of about $1,500,000 ia tbe estimate for the military establishment and the army and Military Acadamy. The Secretary says: The estimates for salaries and contingent expense: for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1389, are considerably less than the appropriation for the current year. The ea-ilmates for the military establishment are based upon the actual requirements of the service. 1'uring receac years the appropriation for transportation of the army has been inadequate to meet the cost of transporting the army, and the failure to appropriate funds for that service has caused mm h embarrassment and greatly increased the labor in settling such accounts. The estimatesfor improving rivers and harbora represent the probable cost of such im provements il approved by Congret-." RKI-AIRS KEEDEf. The report says that the building?, fortifications, public works and grounds in the division of the Atlantic are everywhere in need of repair and reconconstruction, On tbe entire Atlantic and Gull coast line of 2.S70 miles, and the Northern frontier of 2,5-iO miles, tbe sole armament is 112 riHed guns, of which.ll'J are obsolete and of very low power. Even the few serviceable rilled guns that are mounted are of but little value. Some of them are mounted on old carriages, and all are without adequate protection. The Secretary refers to Gen. Scbofi aid's recommendation that at least one eightinch muzzle loading gun, with appliance for target practice, and one or more of tbe new breech loading guns aad mortars be furnished to eacn artillery post with a view to improvement of the artillery instructions. He says, however, that the department is unable to comply with the request, as they have no guns suitable for such target prsctice and technical instructions. This division is garrisoned mainly by artillery,. four-fifths of the officers and men of that arm beiug stationed within its limits. In no brancu of the serviC3 is technical instruction and daily experiments and practice in the use of its weapons more demanded than in the artlllery.lt is earnestly hoped that if guns cannot be Lad for fortification, appropriations can be made lor the purchase or manufacture of enough guns to employ the artillery and fit them for any emergency. THE IKDIAKS. Touching Geronimo and his fellow-captives, now con lined at Fort Picaens and ML Vernon Barracks, the report says that they are contented, perform their work with alacrity, and thus far their conduct has been excellent. At this time it Is a difficult matter to find for them a permanent home. For many reasons it is impossible to return them to Arizona; under txistmg laws they cannot ba returned to the Indian Territory,' and in the Northern reservations the climate is too cold for them. Pending a final decision, they can remain where they are in cjmfort and safety.;: In the division of the Missouri, during the past year, it has been necessary to patrol the Oklahoma country in the Indian Territory to keep outIntruders;and to protect Indian .reservations. A considerable bodyof troops have been constantly engaged in this duty, and there have been terious disturbances. A brief history is included in the report of the difficulty that arosa In August last in Colorado between th State authorities and Colorow's band of Utes, and it is said that ficme effort rhould certainly be made for the restitution of tha property to the IndiaLs. Tbe Secretary strongly approves of the recemmendetiun contained in General Sneridan's report, touching the extension of all possible aid by tbe General Government to the National Guard of the different States, and snge-tlng a system of national encampments for State militia at the entire expense of the National Government. Attention is called to the fact that the Pacific coast is destitute of fortifications, guns and armament of every description, while San Francisco is without a s'ngle gun which can be fired with safety with present charges of powder and modern projectiles. Favoraole Indorsement Is also given to the Lieutenant-General's recommendation that tbe present strength of the army be increased by 5,000 men; and particular attention is called to the importance of an increase of the artillery arm of the service, and certain changes ia the present organizations of artillery regiments. Fl HOOLS OK IKSTRVCTIOK. The Ecbools of instruction, the Sectary says, anord admirable postgraduate courses of study and it will be necessary, as it is desirable, that every officer should take bis tour of study, in order that he may be fully equipped for his duty. He trusts that the bill introduced in the Senate at the last session of requiring the examination cf officers for promotion may be parsed by Congrecs. He thinks that the permanently oisac-iea omcers should be at once retired, and bop?s that Cooress will authorize a sufficient increas of the retired list to accomplish the purpose. An illustrated catalogue of the army medical museum, he bays, would be of great value to science. A large portion of it Is already prepared, and authority frora Congress to publish it is earnestly requested. A larger appropriation for binding is urgently required. The Secretary suggests that the number of ourt-raartlal trials can be much reduced if provision be made for punishment of minor orensts witooci summoning a court-martial, as indicated in the annual report of l&Sd. The Secretary renews the recommendation in regard io the enactment o laws for the punishment of civilian witnesses who refuse to testify; for authority to secure the assistance of civilian and police officers in . arresting and holding deserters, and for the revision of the articles of war, which have remained substantially unaltered here, while in Eng land and elsewhere military codes hav been modified in accordance with the re quirements of modern times. Tbe Secretary hopes to submit for the consideration of the proper committee of Congress some drafts of enactments dealing with theie amendments to tbe law. The Secretary also recommends legislation regulating and making uniform the punishments thai may be inflicted by court-martials; dt fining the application of tbe stat ute of limitation In cases of deserters, and defining the liability of minors to military jurisdiction alter enlistment. The Secretary quotes from the report of the Judge Advocate-General and indorsas his recommendation that commissioned officers be allowed extra expenses incutti d la the tt

tendance in general court-martial and retiring boards. K THE AT DITABTMXST. In reference to the pay department of the army, the report says: "There is frequent clashing of authority between the War and Treasury Departments in regard to payments directed by the former. To the great embarrassment of the disbursing officer, accounts are disallowed. The disallowance of payments made by and under eccb authority works great hardships to the disbursing oHcer, .as on the one hand be is confronted vith a charge of disobedience of orders, and on the other with assuming a liability, for which either he or bis sureties will be held pecuniarily reBponEible, In order to prevent this, I recommend that the powers of the respectiverdepartrneats be clearly define by a legislative aet." A brief reference is made to the recommendations of the Engineer Bureau relative to, the reconstruction of sea-coast and lake defenses, and it is eaid that there appears to be no reason for further delay in beginning the important work of fortifying the great harbors. Little is said on the subject of river and harbor improvements beyond the statement that the report of the Chief of Engineers sets forth the condition of each improvement and the amount of work performed daring the last fiscal year. OwiDg to the failure of the last river and harbor appropriation bill, there has been no money available for the ascertainment of the depth of water and width of channel at South Pass of the Mississippi river, and an appropriation for the necessary surveys Is urgently recommended. Copious quotations are made frora the report of the Chief of Ordnance, relative to the scccessof domestic manufactures in producing high grade steel, and the alviü-

ability of increased appropriations for the snpply of ordnance; the experiments with the dynamite torpedo gun, and those now in progress with shells charged with high explosive, fired by means of gunpowder. in concluding bis report, the Secretary ssye: "lifl result oi the examinations for promotion under the Civil Service regulations, which were applied to the War Department in May, were satisfac tory. The total number of clerks examined was 1,014, of whom OOVJ, or 96 per cent, passed, and of this number 333, or 35 per cent, obtained an average above yOper cent; 51, or 5 per cent., failed to pats, their average being less than 75 per cent. I renew the recommendations contained in my previous reports and in those of my predecessors for tiie appointment of an Assistant Secretary of War, and of an Assistant Attorney-General, to advise and assist in tbe legal and technical questions which daily occur. I must also refer to former recommendations for the organization of the force of this office, the estimates for which, it is hoped, will receive the favorable consideration of Congress." E. L, HARPER'S TRIAL. The Kvidence in tbe Case More and 3Iie Conclusive Tncsday'a Testimony. Cin iKNATi, December G The forenoon session of the Harper trial was spent in placing before the jury more testimony concerning Harper a accounts and his pe culiar metnods fcsveral book-ktsperg were examined on these points. J. W. floyt, the broker, made the somewhat startling statement that Benjsrain E. Kopains Decame nis r.reaitor last June to the amount of $'501,806. He never paid it, as Kershaw iv Co. could not par him Hoyt's account was transferred to WilBhire. Eckert & Co., by Hopkins' order. The witness never did any busi ness with Harper; it was ail with Hopkins. Counsel for the defenca asked the witness if he did not know who was the principal in these dealings. 'Yes," said the witness, "I know it was Harper." Receiving Teller Hinch was again placed on the stand and identified a letter of advice from Hopkins to Irwin, Green .v Co., notifying them of a credit of $235,000. Although the mam facts in the trreat Fidelity Bank failure,, caused by th fa mous but disastrous wheat-deal with F. L. Harper, as general manager, have been be fore the public for six months, yet the interest in the matter remains as vivid as ever. To-day, for Instance, when the whole day was devoted to dreary, but damaging business, records of the eccentricities of Harper's checks and drafts and certificates of deposit, with not a gleam of dramatio coloring, the court roam was kept contin ually full. A large spacs is divided by a railing from the public's dorn tin, into which the parties, tneir counsel, numbers of the bar, the prefs and distinguished visitors are admitted. Among the laitnamed are include! ladies. This spacs was to-day kept fully occupied by a continually changing assembly. Tae farther end of the room is opsn t3 the public, but no disorder is permitted. and a mo: constant procession of men pases in and out as curiosity leads them in, and disappointment drives taerc oat. out they all move noiselessly under the corstant watchfulness of two or three deputy marshalls. But all are not disap pointed. They get to eee Harper, tbe central figure of the scene, with that unex Elainable courage and cheerfulness which as never yet deserted him. He ia themost interested man in the court room, but he betrays no worry nor annoyance. His black hair and fine features distinguishhim in nattering contrast with his portly and somewhat lethargic counsel, Al3ssr3. Blackburn and Wilson. Mrs. Earpar isalso seen by these eariosty huntors. Her gentle face shows no sign of weariness as she sits there through the long, Ctll hours of tbe whole day's session, giving what support her presence may be to her husband. They also aee ber sister, Miss Matthews, a beaut ifnl girl with a tell-tale face biding with ditl.culty her emotions Byond the sight seeing there was little of interest to day. Tbe testiraory almost all related to Harpe; method oL doing business. Ebert F. Gay, individual bookkeeper of the Merchants' National Bank, testiüed to numerous over drafts on their banb by J. W. Wilshire A Cow The same story was told by other witnesses aboat S wife's Iron and Steel Works. Hinch, the receiving teller of the Fidelity, told cJ Harpor taking hd checks of wilshire, Leser V Co., Maren 17, when the btink examiner was there, oy giving his own check t the amount of over $i0O,O0Cv n was saown three d-afts on tbe Western National, of New York. for $75,000, $100,000 and $20,C0. There was no entry made of taese in me,esiera's acccant, yet the nrstts were paia. making it appear the Western had same ot tbe Pideaty's money. The r?osa-xamlntion of this witness showed tbe most persistent effort of the defense yet made to bolster ap a case. He waa aed if there were nc entries Blowing that interest had been paid on checks carried as cash itami. He found one In stance where J. W. Wilshire & Co. had naid f 11 Vinterest, but no more appeared. Tnere were a few interest charges in tne account oi Swift's Iron. and Steel Works. Mr. Adam Wagner, B38igne of 8wift s Iron and Btael Works, testified mat ne found assets. worth 1-100,000, and Uabllii-ea amounting, to $l,200,000. J, 11. Waters, book-keeper, testified, that certificates of deposit were Issued out of consecutive order as to dates and numbers. Adjourned till to-morrow. Hypothecated the 8tock.

GARFIELD MEMORIAL

pretsiva Cersaoniei. lh Oral ion of the Day EFsüvered by Hon. Ezra B. Taylor, Garfield's Successor -ia' Congress The Uc-rvilinr. CfBOjHKATi. December 1. Tbs noveiling or the Garfield statue, which waa made by Klehans acd paid for by a popular subscription, was set for this afternoon. The statue Is bronze, f heroic sire, and stands on a granite pedestal at the Intersection of Race and Eighth streets. Owing to the unpleasant weather it was determined to have thy speaking dene at Music Hall. That structure was crowded long be."bre 2 o'clock when the progr&mrae began. The police were formed in or line around' the hall. Fully 7,000 people were present, the stage being filed withdictingTiUhed guectsand members of commit; After an overture by the orrbestra, and a prayer bv F.abbi Benjamin, Hon. Ezra B; Taylor, who was Garfield's socces3or as Congressman from that district, was intro duced by Mayor Smith. Hema-iea bsief address bot full of forcible pointe touching the remarkable career oi the raartvred President. He was an intimate friend of Garfipld, and his picture of the man was graphic. He spoke of him of a bMy man yet always ready to give greeting, one whose presence was a benediction. He spoke of his rapid walk with a plsnging step, and of his active mind that made stndy a diversion. He sketched brie -y his career from his birthplace at Orange to his death at hlberon, and said: "2tothig in his infancy or early youth would have justified the prophecy of his success. He was indeed of a sturdy parentage, but not of one peculiarly distinctive of promise. As be developed Into manhood it became inevitable that he should come into sight, but that his advance should be so Etcaly and so far, could not have been foretold any more than Appomatox could have been seen from Pylmouth Rook." Continuing to speak of him in his vary ing positions as teacher, soldier, state? man and private citizen, he closed by say ing: ''Loyal to his friends, loyal to dutyloyal to country from Orange to Elberon by the eea, he deserves a statue in the capital of his country and in the chief city of the Slate on thn banks of the beautiful river; a monument over his last home in tbe shores of old Erie and a living and eternal one In the hearts of his loving and sorrowing countrymen." Governor Foraker followed with a still more brief address. He was received with loud and loDg applause, and said he was here not to speak, but to testify by his presence bis appreciation of the occasion. He was gratified by the success evidenced by that large assembly, but would only, speak briefly of the lessons taught by the statue to be unveiled. One was the immeasurable opportunity offered by this country to its citizens. Another was that, no matter what opportunity a man may have, he must labor for success and be the architect of his own fortune. Moreover, be said, this statue would teach that men must be ready to do heroic things when an occasion arises, and cited Garfield's rebuke in Congress to the disloyal propositions made by the Congressman from the First District in Ohio, soon after Garfield entered Congress, fresh from the shock of war. He referred also to Garfield's religions natnre, and said he was glad there was such a conspicuous example of the fact, that when a man enters public life he is not compelled to give up his private morals. Following hin was an eloquent tribute to the character of Gsrfield by the Hon. 8am. F. Hont of this city, which was most warmly applauded. Letters of regret, many of them containing ?lowing tributes to the worth of Garfield, were read from a number of distin guished men, amonj? when were Governor Bnckner, of Alabama; Wayne McVea h, Robert T. Lincoln, Thomas James, Abi am S. Hewitt, Samuel J. Randall, ex-Prasid ent R. B. Hayes and Hon. John Ehermaa. The procession, composed of a batta lion of police, the First Regiment Ohio Nat ional Guard, Grand Army Posta, the Vet sran I nion, Bons of Veterans, and other civil organizations, then formed at Music Hill and marched over a short route t3 the statue, where, amid a vast as9embt y of people, with the aidcf thj electric 1 ight, the ceremony of unveiling was ci rriei out.

At ."1:33 morninz a general alarm soutided -rly this an1 called out the entire fire department to the Strobrldge Lithographing Company ereit bnildine on the northeast corner of .lm ad Canal. Th flames devoured the entire building and in less than forty tninUtes the walls fell in. The loss iy total and will probably ba not less than $:3),00s), but fey some It is estimated as high ts htlf a Eiillion. Strobrldge & Co. have imuranca of $150,W in fortv companies. The tire-started in the second story, but no one knows how. There ia a bare suspicion of iacendarica. Tbe Btobridge company have an otSca ia New Ydk and. in London, England, a-ut their work icdone here. Tbe buüding waa a n structure, fivBtories in height and fronting ovw 100 feet on tbe north side of the canal. It wu filled with costly machinery. . including fifteen lithographic presses. Its- stock of paper and of finished and unLaUbed werk was very large, estimated to be $100,Cd0. Most cf the winter work for tbe theatrical companies wa finished, but & larsa portion was silll in the building, and a number of thea'aical companies will t. without material to pronerly bill theLvplaja. Among those euSeriE? in thia way are Charles A. Hoyt's three Companies: "The Tin Soldier." "Ra Baby" and Hole In the Ground," "irtcnael Stragofl,' 1 liralf y's " Aladdin, " Montgomery' 'Piaster's," ''Soap rubbles," and Fore pangh'aand Barnnm'3 circuses. Tie waxk for the latter, howevar, had not iwlvancsd very far. The Bsene during the lira was startling. Theaeigbtof the building;, the combustibility of lta contents, and the substantial styla of its structure served to make the fire fierce, but comparatively slow. It burned floor afttr rioor, and the fallin? of the heavy lithographic stonoa gave so-uuds like the discharge of a battery. Later the falling of the walls ent sheets cf Üame and showers sf s varies hlzh into the air. During this yart of the catastrophe a fireman, John ßhnir, who was on a ladder tbirtv-flve laet from tba ground, missed his footing and fell to tbe ground. He was taken to the hospital with injuries which may orove fatal. The business is nmbablr the largest of its kind in the world. One hundred anl twentv-five men were employed. Mr. Hlnes Btrobridze. resident of the company say a he thought the building was fire proof, and is astonished that it should go as It did. Within the building as tenants were James Barclay, iob printer, and the UaMead Blocking Company. Tola lou

win be about $10,000 each. The best estimate that can be made of the total loss is abont $300.000, on which the insurance is $150.r)00. But the loss on business darin the time of enforced idleness cannot bs accurately estimated. The building may be rf garded as a total loss. Tbe portions of the walls left standing are worthless. The Sre ia still barnlng slowly at 10 a. si., acd engines are throwing water on it. Merssbinerff Kaidei CsATTASooGi Teun . Däcenibertv Word
