WASHINGTON , D. C. , March 4. The pro
verbial "Cleveland weather , " which has
been the commentary of the past eight
years , failed tlio president-elect today.
Whether it augurs good or bad to those who
ECO in every manifestation of the elements
an omen for good luck or misfortune , Is u
question which each soothsayer must settle
in his own mind , for the Ik'rccst weather of
the da } began an hour before the conclusion
of President Harrison's term of ofilco and
rayed for an hour after President Cleveland
had been Inducted into ofllco. Thus the Harrison
risen administration went out In storm und
the Cleveland term was ushered In with icy
Vtlnd and sleet.
Soon after o'clock the snow and sleet
ceased entirely , but with every hour the
cold increased in Intensity , and by nightfall
n sweeping wind gave the national capital
all the experience of a western blizzard.
Opened With lllilnlery Wcutllcr.
Wednesday and Thursday were almost
ideal days of brisk , bracing sunshiny spring
weather , which led to the entertainment of
the hope that "Cleveland weather" had sot
in before the end of Mr. Harrison's term.
These anticipations were not realized. Kain
on Friday morning was followed In the even
ing by a colder rain , which during the night
developed Into a snow storm suftlclcnt to
once more cover the streets with a thin
coating. But tlio expectant multitude , be
hokling the untoward signs in the early
morning , recalled the fact that on the day
of Garlleld's inauguration snow was falling
at 0 o'clock and the sun was shining and the
dust was blowing soon after the noon hour.
They hoped for similar good fortune today ,
and proceeded with their preparations with
unabated ardor.
But the morrCing opened with a heavy full
of wet snow , melting as it fell , and the
throngs presented a wintry appearance with
BIIOW covered overcoats. Tlio guns of the
rtiUcry wcro covered with tarpaulins , and
snow covered. The people who were
In the streets were almost all under umbrel
Ins , wlilch were little protection against the
snow driven before the wind. A force of
men was kept at work on the inaugration
Btnud clearing tlio snow , it having been an
nounccd that the ceremonies would beheld
held out of doors in spite ol
the weather. At 11 o'clock the senate
committee on inaugural arrived at the Ar
lington hotel and soon after n magnificent
four-in-hand appeared. Into this at 11:80 : Mr.
Cleveland entered , accompanied by the com
kinlttco. There wasa thrilling scone just as ho
[ appeared at the entrance to the hotel
i Mrs , Cleveland , as ho was on the point of do
Bparturo , throw her arms around his neck ani
Eklsscd him godspeed repeatedly. It was al
Jdono BO simply and with such wifely devotion
( that there could bo not Ji thought of Intcn
( tional theatrical effect.
I'r om tlio Wlilto House.
President Harrison did not retire till mid
night and was up and dressed at 5 , malting
final preparations for his departure from the
I white house. When Cleveland and Steven
' son arrived ho received them In the blue
i room and shortly afterwards emerged with
them , entered the carriage and the march to
the capltol was begun.
The snow was falling fast when President
Harrison and the president-elect unterci ]
tholr carriages under the white house per
tico. The president and Mr. Cleveland
entered the llrst vehicle , an open carriage
r belonging to President Harrison. It was
f drawn by four handsome bays from the
k white house stables , and was driven bj
f Willis , the white house coachman. Mr
r Stevenson and Senator McPherson wcro In
[ the second carriage , drawn by four big white
horses , with white trappings , Albert Haw
kins , who has driven Grant and evcrj
president since from the white house to the
capltol and back , held the reigns. Follow
Ing In the carriages In the order nnmei
came Senators Hansom and Teller of the
Hcnntorial committee and Mr. Harry Vu.ll
clerk to Senator Sherman , Secretary Foster
of thu Treasury department and his suc
cessor , Mr Carlisle ; Secretary Tracy , At
torney General Miller , Postmaster General
Wnnamakor , Secretary Noble , Secretary

navy ; General Schoilcld , commanding gen
eral of the army ; Lieutenant Uiddley Hunt ,
aide to Admiral GhcrardI , and Lieutenant
Bctjotleld , aide to General Schollold.
Housed l > y the Long Koll.
At 10'CO this-morning a long roll was
Bounded in the little park In front of the
white houso. It was a signillcant signal In
the events of this day. for it marked the
organization of the escort that was to usher
out the old and welcome In the now. The
custom of a century has been for the retir
ing president and the
president-elect to pro
ceed to the capltol under the escort of mill-
tary organizations , and the latter then to
V ko thu oath of ofllco and the former to lay
down to his successor the responsibility of
the chief magistracy. This tlmo-hunored
custom was carried out today with all the
solemnity duo to traditionami the dignity of
the occasion was heightened by the
presence of the thousands of visitors
who witnessed the Imposing spectacle. The
escorting division , composed of artillery ,
cavalry and Infantry of the regular army ,
druwn from the garrisons of Fort Monroe ,
Fort Meyer , Fort
Mcllenry and the arms
R from Wusnlngton navy yard , with the
admirable drill of the national guard of the
district , the High school cadet regiment
und other local organizations , assemuled In
the neighborhood of the white house and
the war. state nnil navy buildings and
formed In columns ol sections of twelve
rach promptly at 10W : ) , They marched from
the whlto house to the capltol prior to the
inauguration. All the ivbt of the parade
uss'inblcd below the capltol and marcheu
from the capltol up the avenue afur the
nauguratlon ceremonies were over , a dls-
anco of fully two miles , to the point
of disbandmcnt , Washington circle , near
L'wcnty-thlrd street ,
Wclcomoil with Minuting.
There was a wild huzza from a thousand
throats as the carriage bearing the president
mil president-elect came in sight , preceded
> y Grand Marshal McMahon and stall ,
i'rcstdent-elect Cleveland and President
ilarrlson both raised their hats In response
: o the popular salute , but the only effect was
redouble the enthusiasm of the multi
tudes. Slowly the llrst brigade of the escort
ilvislon In advance of thefiiresidential party
started In measured tread up the historic
Pennsylvania nvcnua toward the capl
tel , the vice prcsiilcnt-clect and the
senate committee on arrangements following
In carriages In rear of the president. An
other wild cheer greeted the appearance of
Vice President-elect Stevenson and It was
repeated with such vigor and prolonged with
such enthusiasm as almost to challenge
Cleveland's distinction of being the most
popular of living Americans. The members
of President Harrison's cabinet. Major Gen
eral Scholield. commanding the army , and
the senior admiral of the navy followed m
the order named , and the second brigade of
the escort division brought up the rear. In
this order the president , president-elect and
vice president-elect were escorted to the cap
ital.
Iintiiuriil | Addresses Itevlewed.
Capitol hill , ns far as the eye could reach
from the eastern front of the capltol , was an
undulating sea of humanity , assembled to
witness the administering of the oath of
olllco to the now president by tlio chief ojus-
tico of the United States , and to hear , as
many of them as could get within earshot ,
the inaugural address. The picturesque and
thoroughly republican practice of taking the
oath of ofllco and delivering the Inaugural
address in tlio open air in the presence of
the people was begun by Kachary Taylor in
1S-IU. Previously the Inaugural address had
been read in the senate chamber. Jefferson
was the llrst president to ho inaugurated In
Washington city. Washington read his in
augural in New York , Adams in Philadel
phia. Washington's llrst inaugural was
1UOO words in length , his second only lt ! ( ;
John Adams' Inaugural was 200 ! ! words long ,
Jefferson's iJ,180 , Madison's 1,100 on both oc
casions , Monroe's IKiO and 410 , J. Q. Adams'
2'JOO ' , and Jackson's first and second
1,100 each. Van Buren employed
; t,800 words and William Henry
Harrison , the most voluminous of all , S.fiOU.
John Tyler , on entering upon the duties of
president after the death of Harrison , ad
dressed nis inaugural of 1,000 woras to the
public and published it in the newspapers ,
congress not being in session. Polk em
ployed nearly 5,000 words ; Taylor. 100 ; Fillmore -
moro simply announced the death of Taylor
in a message of 'JOO words sent into each
house of congress and delivered no inaugural ;
Franklin Pierce's address was 11,300 worls ;
Lincoln's , on his llrst election , y.r , > 00 words ;
on his necond , only 580. Johnson took up the
reins of government after Lincoln's death in '
a br.ef message of BGO words ; Grant's ilrst
inaugural was 1,100 words long ; his second ,
1,300 ; Hayes employed 'J.400 words ; Gar-
llcld , " , (100. ( Arthur 'followed the custom of
other vice presidents in succeeding to the
presidency through death by giving only a
very short address of ' 100 words. Clove-
land's iirst inaugural , which ho committed
to memory , was 1,000 words. Bcnlamin Harrison
risen entered with an Inaugural of 4,500
words.
How I'rt'vlilcnt ' * Huvo llccn Instullcil.
The installation of every president , elected
ns such by the people , has been attended
more or less by civic and military parade ,
the firing of a cannon and manifestations of
public rejoicing. The story that Jefferson
rode unattended to the capital and hitched
his horse to u fence Is simply one of three
contradictory accounts of the event and the
ono bearing least evidence of authenticity.
Contemporary newspaper reports represent
him as being escorted from his lodgings to
the capltol by a body of militia and a pro
cession of citizens.
In the matter of weather the Inaugura
tions of William Henry Harrison , Polk ,
Lincoln , Grant , Hayes and Benjamin Harri
son alone were marred by storms and rain.
All the other presidents wcro favored with
sunshine ; some oven with balmy warmth.
Thus the popular laea as to the prevailing
Inclemency of March weather in Washing
ton docs not seem to bo berne out by facts.
The exceptions , however , have been of great
severity. At Grant's second Inauguration
some of the troops nearly froze at their
posts and many deaths wcro directly at t-
tributable to the cold , drenching rain , which
accompanied the late president's entry into
ofllco.
( .rent CromU In tlio Seimtc.
The senate began to lill early , and the
galleries were packed long before the hour
for the ceremony to begin , and many dis
tinguished pei-sons Illled them , including the
wives and families of the chief actors of the
Inauguration episode about to bo enacted on
the lloor , the diplomatic corps , supreme
court , oflleors of the army and navy , mem
bers of the senate and house and other dis
tinguished persons.
The presidential party arrived at the
capltol shoitly after noon and was given 0II
rattling volley of cheers as It entered the
building.
President Harrison went at once to the
president's room and began work on the
pile of bills requiring his signature. The
tlmo was so short that it became necessary
three times to turn the hands of the clock
back to show that It was not noon. Mean
tlmo Cleveland and Stevenson went to the
vice president's room and suent the time
chatting with callers.
About I o'clock Mr. Morton delivered his
farewell address , and declared the senate of
the Fifty-second congress adjourned sine
die. Mr. Morton spoke as follows :
Vice President Mnrton'u 1'ureuell Speech ,

tion for the tcimlnatlim of the I'lflyceond

Is tlio vice president-elect now ready to take
and subscribe to thu oath of olllce ?
The special session of congress was then
opened with prayer by the chaplain and Mr.
Stevenson said :
Aililri's * of Mr. .Htcvrnnon.
Senators : Deeply Impressed with a sense of
Its responsibilities and of Its dltinlty , I now
enter upon the discharge of the duties of the
high olllco to which I have been called , lam
not unmindful of the fact that among
thu occupants of this chair during the
101 years of our constitutional history have
been state-mien eminent alike for ( heir tal
ents and their tireless devotion to public duty.
Adnins , Jefferson and t'allnmn honored Its In

dcllht'iatlvu assembly known to men.
I assume the duties of the great trust con
fided to mu with no feeling of self-confidence ,
but rather with a grave distrust of my ability
satisfactorily to meet Us requirements. I nuiy
bo piiidonud for saying that It shall bu my
earnest endeavor to discharge thu Important
duties which lie before mo with no less of Im
partiality ami emu tesy than of llrmncssand
Illicitly. Hainestly Invoking tlieco-oparatlon ,
the forbearance and thu charily of Its mem
bers , I now enter upon my duties us presiding
olllccr of thu senate.
The clerk , then read the president's proc
lamation convening an extr.i session. Next
the new senators took the oath of olllce.
Twenty wcro re-elected and live were new ,
viz. : Lodge of Massachusetts , Murphy of
Now York , Hoach of North Dakota , Smith of
S'ew Jersey , White of California.
Then , on motion of Hoar , who said the
question of regularity could bo considered
atcr , Martin of Kansas was allowed to take
the oath of ofllcc. The procession then
formed and proceeded to the east portico of
the capital , cscortittg the president and
[ ) rcsldent-elcet.
Winter's Chilly Winds.
On tlio outside the snow storm had sub
sided towards noon , but the tempcraturo
liad lowered and the northwest wind blew
bitterly. The sun made several ineffectual
efforts to pierce the clouds , with only partial
success.
The troops arrived at the noon hour and
filled up the place reserved for them , while
several photographers planted themselves
in the box house enclosing the Washington
statue and prepared to take a picture of the
wintry scene.
The patience of the crowd was at last re
warded , and about 130 ! : ! ! o'clock the arrival
of Mrs. Cleveland , Mrs. Perdue and other
members of the presidential party betokened
the early appearance of the president-elect.
There wcro about fifty ladles and gentlemen
in the Cleveland party , and they were shown
to two rows of chairs reserved for them im
mediately behind the presidential enclosure.
At about 12i'i : ! o'clock the doors leading
into the rotunda to the central portico of the
inaugural stand swung open and Marshal
Dan Kamsdell of the District of Columbia
and Marshal Wright of the supreme court
appeared heading the procession. Ex-Vice
President Morton and Chief Justice Fuller
and the Justices of the supreme court , ex
cept Judges Blatchford , Field and Harlan
came next. Then
came Sergeant-at-Arms
Valentino and Senators Teller , McPherson
and Hansom of the committee of arrange
ments preceding President Harrison and
President-elect Cleveland , who walked side
by side. Behind the incoming and outgoing
president followed members of the senate
and an unusually largo contingent from the
diplomatic corps , members of the house of
representatives , governors of states and
other oftlcial persons.
On the Platform.
The president and president-elect , Vice
President Morton , Chief Justice Fuller and
the committee of arrangements were shown
to the front of the platform , where , within a
railed enclosure , had been luld a bright
green carpet , upon which had been placed
largo , leather covered chairs , several tables ,
a writing desk and other furnishings , which
gave a bright touch to the scene.
Mr. Cleveland was warmly greeted by the
patient throng gathered about the stand ,
and , after a few minutes of delay , stepped
to the front and began the delivery of his
inaugural address. Ho followed the same
course pursued by himself eight years
ago , of delivering his address first
and taking the oath afterwards. This was
pursucd by Buchanan and Lincoln. On the
other hand , Pierce , Grant , Hayes , Garfleld
and Harrison took the oath first , and
llvered their inaugural afterwards. A curi
ous Jompromlso between these opposing cus-
toms was made by President Harrison's
grandfather , who stopped in the mldalo of
his iniiugural and took the oath and then re-
sumed and linisned the reading of his address.
Notwithstanding theexcecdingly inclement
weather Mr. Cleveland removed his silk hat ,
and with bared head addressed the mult- !
tude. Ho kept his overcoat on and secured
what warmth ho could for the fingers of his
right hand by keeping it in his overcoat
pocket , keeping his hat at his side in his left
hand , which was protected from the weather
by the glove. The wind had been rising ,
and turned colder over since noon , and Mr.
Cleveland's task- must have been attended
w It'll considerable personal discomfort , but
ho gave no sign of It and steadily continued
his address until the close.
Dedicated to Ills Country's Service.
My Fellow CltUeus : In obedience to a
mandate of my countrymen I am about to
dedicate myself to their service- under the
sanction of a solemn oath. Deeply moved
by the expression of confidence and personal
attachment which has called mo to this
service , I am sure my gratitude can inako no
bettor return than the pledge I now glvo
before God and these witnesses of unre
served complete devotion to the interests
and welfare of those who have honored me.
I deem it lltting on this occasion , while in
( Heating the opinions I hold concerning pub-
Ho questions of present importance , to
also brlelly refer to the existence
of certain conditions and tendencies
among our people , which seem to menace the
integrity and usefulness of their govern
ment.
While every American citizen must con
template witli the utmost nrldo and
nsm the growth and expansion of our coun
try. the efliclency of our Institutions , vt hich
have stood against the rudest shocks of violence
lence , the wonderful thrift and enterprise of
our people and the demonstrated buperiorltj
of our free government , it behooves us to
cons tnntly watch for every symptom of in 1
sldious infirmity that threatens our na
tional vigor.
The strong man , who. in the confidence of
sturdy Health , courts the sternest activities
of life and rejoices in the hardihood of con
slant labor , may still have lurking near his
vitals unheeded disease that dooms him to
sudden collapse.
It cannot bo doubted that our stupendous

BnitMN' , March 4. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to Tim But : . ] -Thoearly part
of the week was summer like , but it ended
In a heavy fall of snow. The few days of
bright sunshine brought out the Derlincrs
en masse to parade their beloved Thiorgar-
tcn walks. Thcso have been crowded with
the familiar German nurses , with their
short , blight colored , full skirts showing to
advantage their plump legs , well blacked
boots and characteristic huge linen head
gear , accompanied by any number of chil
dren. The Wilhelinzelt , the favorite Thier-
garten restaurant , has been already con
siderably visited.
A few days ago I was In the zoological gar
den when the kaiserin arrived , accompanied
by her four boys. It was just the time
when the beasts were fed. They had como
specially to witness this. A simpler , more
interested family party could not bo imag
ined. The visit was entirely without cere
mony , and very feW Ijcoplo wcro in the
garden at the time. Tboso who were there
wcro principally children. The four roVal
boys wcro dressed in nice , loose lilting
serge sailor suits , very open nt the
neck , sailor hats and high military
riding boots. Eiich earruU a pjpsr bag of
food for the animals. I had a goo.l oppor
tunity of observing thom < liavlng them very
closely and hearing all , they had to say. All
have fair hair , except Prince Eitel , the second
end son. The crown prince is a very deli
cate , thoughtful lad. Eitol , though fourteen
months younger , is as tall as his older
brother , a handsome , lad with wavy brown
hair , full of animation , reminding ono per
haps most of Emperor. . Frederick , but they
arc all bright , inlplllgeut lads , and did not
miss an item of what wassto bo seen. They
took special Interest in , the three young lions
born in the garden , , lliu . In kthp monkeys ,
more especially the , Jhlinpanzeo. A'll the
tlmo they asked 'constant questions of the
director of the garden" as to the habits of the
animals , whore they ciimo from , etc.
Kiilsrr Wllhelm's Outing.
After leaving tho'zoologlcal garden , stroll
ing through the Thlbrgarten , I mot the
kaiser riding his thoroughbred favorite light
chestnut horse. The emperor wore n hussar
uniform , and was in eager conversation with
ono of his generals , from time to tlmo
waving his right hand as though
describing (1t bomo now project , probably
the now drill ground at Spandan.
The kaiser had a particular grave look on
his 1 face as though tired , which is possible ,
as ho works from early morning all through
the day , and sleeps but little. Lately ho
has been taking the keenest interest in the
railroad regiment , which has built a road
to t Suhambcrg , and Is engaged there In
building a bridge. There nro three such
regiments and they have arrived at n point
of sach i > erfeetlcm in lay'ng lines and build
ing bridges , and the Icuiscr is so pleated
with the results , that ho has during the
weclt decorated the most energetic of the
In his rides in the Thicrgarten the kaiser's
party always consists of five , including a
general , aido-do-camp , a guardsman and a
royal servant. Ho salutes all who salute him
punctiliously , glancing keenly at those he
salutes from under bis raised hand. His
scrutinizing look and his extreme seriousness
of countenance are much remarked upon.
The kaiser always rides the best of horses ,
and also has exquisite carriage horses , which
is more than can bo said of other royalties.

It has been bottled which of the ships will
represent the German navy at the New
York naval it view. They are the corvette
cruiser , Kaiserln Augusta , and the cruiser
Seeadler. The fernier represents every
thing most modern in her class , both in
elegance and ns n wnr ship. She has en
gines of 12,000 horse power , and is reckoned
not only to bo the swiftest ship In the Ger

She makes twenty-two knots drlvcmby three

Politics is 'decidedly quiet. The military
bill drags its weary way through the commis
sion , and correspondents who gather their
crumbs of Information from official sources
are told that tlio feeling of the country In
favor of the bill is gradually coming round.
This they telegraph as news , but the wish is
merely father of the oftlcial expression. No
impartial writer could be found to say the
oill is popular or growing jiopular among
the masses. Whether the bill in a muti
lated form can bo engineered through
and become a law in the course of time is
iiuito another matter. At the present
moment the politicians seem more engaged
in comtemplating thu near approach of
Easter vacations thaii bothering much about
the military' bill , but wo shall have nt least
ono exciting debate before the session is
over , when thu co itur brings up the Jesuit
question.
I interviewed yesterday a delegate of the
Federal Council of Saxony. According to him
the kaiser , having seriously studied the
question , Is no longer so opposed to
thu Jesuits ; that among the Federal Council
several government members appeared wili
ng to admit the return of the order , and
that the Prussian representative refused to
commit himself.
"Hut , " said my informant , "a concession
n this matter will soften the sentiment as
regards the military bill , " meaning , of
course , the vote of the center. But that

lo defy the electors , who nro strongly

The kaiser's speech al the banquet civen

the country with the utmost satisfaction as
the simple outspoken declaration of de

ment with Frledrlchsruho , because at the
end of the speech ho used Bis narck's famous
words , "Wir Deutsche furchten Gott und
nichts sonst in der Welt. " Ho also spoke
later of the traditions of the state , evidently
giving us to understand that as far as the
new-old regime is concerned , traditions were
the same. But as regards Bismarck , I have
It on good authority thai not the least Idea
of his personality entered any part of the
speech. On the contrary the kaiser feels
more than ever aiigeroa against the ox-
chancellor since the llerco attacks of the
Hamburger Naehrichten against the Hus-
slan commercial treaty and Count Caprivi
personally.
Once again I hear the llrst opportunity will
bo taken of still further honoring the present
clu-Hicellor , who will doubtless receive the
title of pnnco.

The kaiser , who is determined on the
passage of the Uussian treaty of commerce ,
has personally thanked Schouvalolt for his
efforts in the matter. Times have changed ,
Indeed , Two years ago Sehouvnlo.Ts visit
to Friedilchsruho at the request of the
czar brought down upon him the disulcasuro
of the entire court. The kalsar had oven in
the presence of the indiscreet diplomat used
terms far from complimentary about him ,
which on being reported to the cz.ir no.irly
caused the recall of t'lo Husslan diplomat.
Now Schouvalo.T is the pot of the diplomatic
corps , overwhelmed with attention
and as you remember was pre
sented with a portrait of the kaiser.
In court circles wo are told that
SehouvaloiT is destined to replace do Giers in
the spring. Schouv.iloff has now started for-
Uussia , be.irlng with him the most cordial
salutations from the kaiser to the czar , and ,
I am given to understand , a letter couched
In the warmest terms of friendship , wherein
are thanks to the czar und good will as re
gards the treaty.

Special to Tun Bee. ] It is now plain ,
even to the most dcnso and unobservant ,
that If General von Lee had n mission of
political caracter apart from tlio conveyance
of his sovereign's gifts und congratulations
to the pope ho has not succeeded. The Ger
man envoy extraordinary has had n
special audience of the holy father.
Although all passed oft pleasantly
enough , lt would not seem much
was done on the occasion. The pope
was courteous , the general was courteous ,
and kindly words and more or less explicit
hopes wore interchanged between the two.
There , I am assured , the matter ended.
General von Lee did not venture to re
quest the pope to exercise any influence with
the center. Ho therefore has not mot with
u rebuff , which would perhaps have been
the pontiff's answer to a direct application of
this kind. Diplomacy has many de
vious ways , though , and It may
bo looked upon as tolerably sure that before
the general's arrival Cardinal Kopp or someone
ono else of less importance had been taking
soundings for tlio German emperor , his
chancellor and foreign secretary. Had they
revealed the slightest unwillingness on
Leo XIll's part to repeat the mistake of
1877 , the special envoy would have been
far less reserved. As It Is , Kopp
has lit on and done moro than
the French , quite like to unsettle
the devotion of Cardinal Ledochowskl to the
papal policy , and to estrange that prelate
from Cardinal Hampolla , the able secretary
of state , of whom ho was till lately held to
bo the firmest ally in the Propaganda.
Cardinal Ledochowskrsidcpartmcnthas.how-
over , no power to thwart the plans of the
Holy See in so far as they touch its atti
tude toward Franco and the democracy.
Were wo to have n conclave soon , the action
of the Prussian cardinals might have results
of considerable importance , but the conclave ,
is not yet in sight.
Elaborate plans for the entertainment and
amusement of Queen Victoria are being
made on paper by the Italians. There
is some talk of a visit of King Hum
bert and Queen Maru'hcrita of Florence
during thoi stay of her Britannic majesty
at the Villa Pnlmicri. It 1ms also been pro
posed to give an Indian fete at Theater
Nicollnl in the queen's honor. This last
arrangement would please her Hindoo suite
much moro than her majesty , who docs tot
as n rule , love the pomp and glitter. The
chances are that the official courtesies will
have only a small place In the royal program
nt Florence , that the queen and empress will
bo left to enjoy the rast and change of air
she needs In her own way.
Much regret is felt at Naples at the death
of Mrs. Twells. The wlfo of the United :
fStatcs consul at Palermo is , 1 hear , alarm
ingly ill of fever , to which Mrs. Twolls suc
cumbed. It is hoped , however , uhe will

PAUIS , Mnrch 4. [ Now York Herald Cabla
Special to Tin ! Hr.H.J Lot us leave today
the subject of the Panama canal affair.
Although the judgments pronounced yester
day in Bordeaux upon M. Doynnrouro for
having libelled M. Unynal , n former minister ,
proves that tlio public opinion in the
provinces la that wo have had enough of the
scandals , wo shall Invo much more to say
about the subject again next week.
The real trial for corruption will commence
on Wednesday , when , perhaps , wo may
learn the real truth about many things.
t"Les trosors do guero , " as the reserve
funds to wovldo for the expcnso of n war
arc called , which have been formed In every
country , are causing great anxiety In the
fitunctal world by the forced Immobilization
of such colossal stuns. Thcso treasures ,
which do not como under the inspection of
the military attaches , are nevertheless the
most formidable warlike Instruments in
existence.
Germany was the first country to
create such a reserve fund , which
has been the cause of her success
for i\ century past. At present the
treasure is locked up at Spandau in the 0)4 )
Julius tower and amounts to 1,600,000,000
francs. The key of the ticasuro house is
kept by the emperor himself , and rather
than allow one single picco of gold to go out
heould allow Germany's signature to bo
piotested.
France , which possesses a war reserve of
J.000,000,000 francs , would have the greatest
advantage over her neighbors , because
nearly four-llfths of the money spent would
bo expended in this country , while Germany
would get barely two-llfths.
Notwithstanding the famluo and the dis
turbed state of her lluances , Russia has u reserve -
servo of S3,125,000,000 francs.
Secured by ( Ircnt KirorU.
Austria has barely 750,003,000 francs , anil
even that was formed with the greatest
ilifllculty. It was only upon the advice
amounting almost to an order from the
Berlin government that Austin-Hungary de
cided to make th-J nswss'iry sacrifices ,
Italy Is the poorest power of Europe , and
specialists do not believe that she could Had
the loO,000,000 ! francs necessary for the
mobilisation of her army. If she did tlicro
would bo nothing loft and the
army would bo obliged to live either
In the enemy's territory or at the
expcnso of her allies. Thus there is a sum
of G,52r > ,000,000 francs lying idle and awaiting
the moment when it would servo for the de
struction of a largo part of the youth of Eu
rope.
In Germany commercial crises are becoming -
coming common and salaries are diminish
ing , while the cost of living is increasing.
Uussia can no longer plant tier crops , and
Italy is daily approaching inevitable bank
ruptcy.
Thopopulation Is beginning to got tired of
this grand policy. Franco ulono can sup
port with relative case the necessary sao-
rlllces , and that Is what other powers reproach -
preach her with , and amongst the causes
which threaten the maintenance of peace
this is not the least.
Hut Franco desires peace and the tlmo to
work for herself. What is taking place la
Italy clearly indicates that the triple al
liance cannot last much longer.
