About 2 o'clock President Harrison nnd Private Secretary Hulford nnd the entire cabinet arrived nt the senate end of the capitol and proceeded to the private room In the senate lobby known ns the president's room. The arrival of Hie distinguished party ' drew a swarm of people to the senate cor- ildorntid fora time the senate chamber and the lloor of the house were almost deserted as senators and members left their scats in order to pay their respectsto the president. It had been the intention to multo the visit purely a business ono for the purpose of signing bills before the session ex pired , but it was soon transformed into a reception , in which members of both parties took part. First came Chairman McKinlcy , the hero of the present congress as far as the tariff Is con- concerned , nnd with him -were McMillan , the democratic tnriH leader in the nbscncoof Mr. Mills. Cannon , Turner and all the members of the ways and means committee in town were among those received Tlio work of signing bills proceeded rapidly , the president asking the advice of his cabinet when a bill was reached concerning their respective de > partmcnts , Incidentally the president took occasion to express his satisfaction at the work of too present congress , the final disposal of the tariff bill appearing to KVO ! him the most satisfaction. Secretary Blaine wns a conspicuous flgure during the reception. IIo chatted concern ing the various bills and Joined with the president in expressions of satisfaction at the work accomplished. There was norniohim in the house nt any tlmo today , a fact to which Mr. Urccklnrldgo of Kentucky called attention at tbo opening of the session , nnd if ho had insisted upon the , . point of order ho would have prevent - vent < jtl an adjournment. But after nn informal caucus of democrats in one of the cloak rooms it was decided not to raisothe point again. "Everybody realized that it would be nweolt before a quoinun could bo brought how and nothing could bo accomplished by raising this technicality. Under the rules tnero Is always a quorum present unless some ono calls for a count of noses , and it was decided to Icttho deception stand withoutcallingattention to it. Them was a good deal of anxiety on the republican side until the decision of the democrats was made known. known.WHAT WHAT MIGHT 1IAVH HEEtf. The democratic senators are just beginning to realize that they might have defeated the tariff bill or at least given its advocates serious trouble if a full representation of democratic senators had been on hand for the llnal vote.Vhllo that vote shows Senators Plumb. I'ettlgrow and Paddock as the only republicans who voted against the bill yet republican senators admit today that they had hard work to keep the defection from em bracing three more senators. Thcso wcro Pierce , Casey and Ingr.lls. A west ern senator said today that ho was at homo in the west lost Saturday when his republican colleagues telegraphed him that his vote was absolutely essential to the passage of the bill. "When ho got hero he found that the republican tariff managers were seriously counting on a defection of six , made up of the senators heretofore named. The democratic senators now see that If they had thoroughly understood the extent of this defection they could have summoned _ - moned nil their absent colleagues and given the republican turiil leaders a hard struggle over the bill. CLAUKSOX COXFIllMED. In the senate this afternoon the nomination of Major Clarkson ns postmaster at Omaha was confirmed. It will probably take Clark- son a week to get his bond ready and'secure the approval of the postmaster general thereto , und for this reason Gallagher will bo likely to remain ns postmnstcr for Omaha until about the 10th of this month. EQUIVALENT TO A VETO. The president did not send any veto of the bill to restore Colonel Lcib to the arms' this afternoon , as wns expected , .but It issuproscc that ho pocketed the bill , and this is equivalent to a veto. MISCEI.t XEOUS. Among the measures which got the prcsl dcntial endorsement barely by ttio skin of Its teeth was then-solutionwhifh rectified the error as to the Illinois river item in the river and harbor bill. Chairman Kennedy of the house enrolling committee has felt so cha grined at the big error of (10S.OOO that ho took special care to sco that the joint resolution correcting it should have the president's signature. The law stands now Just as though the rnistako hud novoroccurred. Senator Sanderson will not proceed di rcctly to Nebraska , but will remain hero s week or ten days closlngup a number of mat ters in the departments , He will then go to Philadelphia to see his mother , who Is irivori f eoblo health and who has passed the four score years mark. After that the senator proposes to goto Is'ew York to receive medi cal treatment In thohopoof recovering from his throat trouble , which still sticks to him and will then go to Nebraska to take th stump. Ho will nrrivo In the state about th latter part of the month.

London , after unusually fine weather In September , wns once more damp nnd dismal. Another sensational nffnlr came up this afteraoon in Westminster police court. Sir Thomas Fre.iko , hart. , was in the ( lock charged with stealing some letters and photos under most dramatic circumstances. The trouble began -with a woman whom fair Thomas wooed , but who , for reasons of her own , had allowed herself to beloved nlso by n gentleman named Gibson , the prosecutor. In the course of events Gibson received from the fair lady certain letters and photos which Sir Thomas , for reasons of his own , de termined to obtain nt any cost. Obtain them lie did , but how much It is going to cost him , the couvt has not yet decided , To carry out the plan , Sir Thomas Invited Cilbson to lunch at his house In Onslow gardens List Jlonday. Once there , ho lured his unsuspecting guest into n vacant building , which he said had been lltted up for private theatricals , and on ono pretense or another persuaded him to accompany him down Into the cellars. Thcro ho was seized by man In Sir Thomas'employ , who promptly manacled Gibson with handcuffs. Then a strange scene occurred which ono might believe - lievo possible in autocratic Itiissin , but hardly in free , commonplace London. Doth of these gentlemen , bo It remembered , are men of wealth and. social position. "Give moyourbunch of keys , " demanded Sir Thomas Frcakc , throwing off the mask of friendship. CJlbson refused , and having vainly repeated the demand , Sir Thonm sent for their mu tual mistress , who appeared in the subter ranean regions looking very lovely. u"Givoupyourkcys , Edward , " said she coax- Inglyj "you may as veil put a good face on it , as you will have to surrender in any event. " Gibson , with hatred in his look and disdain in his voice , dared them to do their worst against a man who hnd been rendered help less through a cowardly trick. Then , In n lit of ungovernable passion , Sir Thomas threw himself upon his guest nnd seized him by the throat and all but stranclcd/htin , while the others rifled his pockets , Qnall\pr mclng the keys. Among these was thokefto a box containingthn letters and photos' Taking possession of this , SirThomns hurried a\vay to St. ( Jcorgo's club , of which Gibson was n member , and where ho had left the coveted articles in churgo of the porter. To clear away any scruples the latter might have in dellvcrinff up the property. Sir Thomas craftily sent the following telegram to the hall porter : St. George's Club Send wooden box In my locker by messenger hi cab to Onslow gar dens. Ginsos. Tills succeeded perfectly , and an hour Inter Sir Thomas was in pojscssion o f the box which .bad been so dearly won. Exactly what tbo box contained Is still n mystery. Such nrotho main outlines of the extraordi nary case as presented by the prosccu tlon. George Lewis , one of the cleverest def en u crs , devoted.most of his energies to throw ing mud at Gibson , who , In the meantime , had got out of the cellar and handcuffs. Lewis declared that the prosecutor was n blackguard and hnd himself admitted ns much In a letter to Sir Thomas. Gibbon once wrote : I can naturally never expect such forgive ness to continue after my blackguardly be havior.
