WA'irtsoTON , D. C. , March 5. I
/ few comparisons between the second
end inauguration of Grover Cleveland as
president , and the quadrennial ceremonies
preceeding. suggest themselves. In the first
place tht-ro was noticeable a distinct lack of
enthusiasm on the part of the crowds that
fringed tlie line of march of thu parade and
which thronged the plaza in front of the
capitol This might in part bo attributed to
the weather , for it would naturally bo dif
ficult for any democrat , oven under the
stimulus of liberal quantities of uubottled
enthusiasm to shout his Joy In the face of
the biting northwester. It is true that the
day was exceedingly cold and raw. and the
suffering crowds who shivered for hours upon
open observation stands were in constant
piril of contracting pneumonia. But the
temperature would not alone count
for the undeniable absence of spirit
und vim that characterized both
the parade arid populace. Four years ago ,
when President Harrison was inaugurated ,
the weather was far more disagreeable in
Washington than it was yesterday. 'Ihena
drenching rain storm , impelled by a lashing
krc zo , descended upon the city in lloo.ls . all
lav long Then the crowds hero were not
only far greater In number than yesterday ,
but the storm. howe\er it might drench
their bodies , utterly failed to dampen their
enthusiasm. The crowd in the plaza yester
day which listen ? 1 to Mr. Cleveland's in
augural address was largo , but the ono that
stood there four years ago with patient fer
vor for hours looked like a sea of umbrellas ,
stretching far beyond the limits of the plaza
itself , although that is twenty acres in ex
tent , and crowding far to the rear
the military escort of the president.
The shout that greeted Mr. Cleveland's
appearance u ] > on the platform yesterday
was loud , but it would have been absolutely
drowned by the tremendous , overwhelming
nnd long continued roar of delight that defied
the rainstorm and greeted with frantic Joy
the return into power of a republican presi
dent.
1'our Yeiirs Ago.
Four years ago , despite the tempest , it
was dilllcult for any ono not already pro
vided witli a scat upon a stand or with some
other point of vantage to obtain oven a
gllmpso of the procession that followed Gen
eral Harrison from the capitol to the white
house. Yesterday it was perfectly easy for
any ordinary pedestrian to find standing
room on the curb , even at the most crowded
portions of Pennsylvania avenue.
All these comparisons will apply equally
well to the inauguration of eight years ago.
The 4th of March then was a bright and
beautiful day , and the triumphant democ
racy , which was not yet acquainted with
Grover Cleveland and which had yet to learn
his unknown j > oliclcs ns to thu distribution
at patronage and as to legislation , flocked to
Washington from all parts of the country
and greeted tlio first democratic president
since , the war with a noise and vehemence
which , if disorderly , was at least Joyful.
But there was none of this element in yes
terday's demonstration. It seemed to
bo perfunctory. There was no hear
tiness in the civic part of the parade ,
especially among the political clubs ,
and , notably , the great Tammany delega
tion which marched with a noticeable air of
dogged determination , as if it had como to
Washington because it had been ordered.
The air of the marching men was that of
' jieoplo who were doing their duty , not that
of victors celebrating a triumph. Both four
I. and eight years ago , on the other hand , the
1 'visiting clubs had flaunted their banners in
I .tho rain and In the sunshine and marched
1 with Joyous stride and exultant mien. Yes-
ftcrday thcunarchlng clubs acted as though
they wcro making public profession of their
faith In their party principles , rather than
expressing their personal devotion to u
political chief.
Disappointing ni n Spcetiiele.
The parade Itself was a disappointment as
a spectacle. The military portion would
i have been almost n positive failure had not
the militia of Pennsylvania , Now York ,
Maryland and Virginia attended IE such
largo numbers. Many military organizations
from other states , which had been expected ,
did not put ir an appearance. From tlio
civic part of the parailo were also missing
many party clubs whoso appearance had
been heralded. There was pot In the line a
single democrat club as a body from beyond
the Mississippi. The spectators , too , looked
ou with seemingly languid interest , and some
civic organizations and clubsdld not attempt
to keep up an organized appearance. Some
of them could not bo found at their head-
Suarters as , for Instance , the one from In-
ian.apolis.
As to the size of the crowd , the accuracy
of a comparison of impressions separated bj
four years of time might be doubted wcro it
not for the fact that the agents cf the two
principal roads entering Washington , wlu
have had charge of the bulk of the trans
jxirtation. agree in saying that not mud
more than half the people came hero that
wcro expected , and that the aggregate mini
bcr of visitors to Washington yesterday , al
though sufllcicnt to tax somewhat the carry
liiff capacity of the railroads und boardlm ,
house accommodations and to slightly dis
arrange the regular course of traffic , was fai
less than either four or eight years ago
while It also fell even farther below th
number of those who visited Washlngtoi
last fall at the time of the reunion ot th
Grand Army of the Republic.
Itumilitf ; U'ldo Open.
There is always of course some disorder
and drunkenness Inevitable to the collection
of so many thousands of people. But the
quantity of liquor consumed in Washington
yesterday and today must have been
enormous. Judging from thn outward evidence
of its effect. Arrests for drunkenness in
Washington are usually Infrequent , but last
night and tonight the station houses are
llllcd with involuntary lodgers. The law of
the District forbids the sale of liquor after
midnight and on Sunday , nnd this
law is ordinarily qulto closel.\ observed
and rlgidb eniorced. Practically all of the
naloi'iis ' of the town , however , have been
co-it in uousb open for the past two days ,
without reference to the hour , while todav
there has been no pretense of observing tlio
Sunday law. More than this , the beer gar
dens , which have been closed fur months ,
nre in full blast this Sunday nlfht and as
your correspondent writes this dispatch ho
can hear the bang , bang , bam ; of the guns
and the ringing of the bells \\hcro the
"bullseve" is hit in the shooting galleries in
tin ? \cry heart of the city , two blocks fivm
tlie white liouso and a block from tlio Foun
dry Methodist church. The "elements" of
the town appear to re.Uize that President
Harrison's administration is at an end and
tlii'j are Introdu.-ing "life.on the bowery. "
t'liiM'liintl'ii I'lrnt Day lu ( Mllee.
President Cleveland's first day in the
white house has been devoted to recovering
from the ardent efforts of yesterday. Robust
as he is. the exposure of delivering his. In
augural addivs-s in front of the capitol yes
terday In a cutting wind with a bared head
was toi much for him. Added to that was
thutlrv-somo review of the parading thou-
Ran Is who tramped past the stand befoie the
wlil'1 house for live lotip hours. The ride
from 'he capitol to the white house was also
a trying ordeul The air seemed wet with
thcsuuu and whin the wind ca'ight ' the oc
cupants of the open barouche fairly there
ivi > . n su rl of snowflakcs and ramdropj ,
which At- time * almost obscured the carriage
from view. President Cleveland was so
nearly exhausted by those ordeals that ho
went to the Inaugural ball against his better
Judgment , nnd did so only because ho did
not wish to dlsnpiwlnt the thousands who
had set their hearts uiwn soring him there.
Naturally , therefore. Mr. Cleveland found
himself sti.T and sere today. He had a cold
and his voice was tin sky. He said that ho
could feel every Joint ami muscle in his body ,
and they seemed to bo creaking. MM.
Cleveland also felt the effects of the arduous
duties and terrible exi > osure of yesterday.
The now executive slept until a late hour.
The nvenuo wan loud with the music of de
parting regiments , and , despite the Sabbath
day the white house grounds were noisy
with the thousands of tourists who tramped
under the portico and pressed their noses
against the windows of the mansion. The
big front door , of course , bore Its usual Sun
day legend : "Closed. " Many hung around
the building hour after hour hoping that
perhaps the bright sunshine and the gay
appearance of the streets would tempt the
president to take a drive or. perhaps , to
catch a glimpse at some window of Baby
Ruth.
The executive household breakfasted at 10
o'clock , and then it was concluded not to at
tend church. As a matter of fact every
Presbyterian church In the city which may
become the personal ono of the present ad
ministration was crowded to.lay , anticipat
ing the president.
Judge ( iroHhini CulU on tlio I'rosldi'iit.
At 11 : ! ! 0 o'clock Judge Gresham went out
rom the Arlington to the white louse. Ho
vas the first visitor of Importance Mr.
Jleveland had seen since ho became presl-
lent and , moreover , it was the first time he
i.ad met Judge Gresham since he was ten
dered the state portfolio. The president
mil Ills premier talked for half an hour and
ludgo Greaham accepted an Invitation to re-
naln to lunch , where Judge Gresham was
enabled to greet Mrs. Cleveland. Judge
"iresham returned to the white house at
" : ; ) this evening presumably to discuss the
nore important foreign missions and inter-
uitional matters which will nt once com-
nand the attention of the present ndmtnis-
.ration. The extra session of thf-scnate will
last only long enough to receive such nomi
nations as the president may send in , and it
is desirable that the more important ques-
.ions shall be handled quickly In order that
the senate may disband. The Hawaiian
ireaty of annexation too is still pending be-
the senate for action.
At a o'clock . Mr. Cleveland ordered the
white house brougham brought around to
the rear exit , % vhero he and Mrs. Cleveland
entered ten minutes after and drove out
Connecticut avenue and around through the
lorthwcstern part of the city , where both
: he president and Mrs. Cleveland gazed with
istonishinent at the magnificent residences
.hat have sprung up there since they left
the white house four years ago. *

General HrooUo Complimented.
Many compliments have been paid General
John R. Brooke for the admirable manner in
which ho commanded the regular troops In
the parade yesterday. The general has also
been shown marked respect by prominent
public men during his stay here. Today the
Washington Post prints a splendid picture of
General Broolco ns ho appeared In the
parade , mounted , and In his full military
habiliments , and accompanied it with a
sketch of his armv life.
Notes nnd tos lp.
J. J. Mclntosh of Sidney , Neb. , is at the
Hbbitt.
Mr. S. B. Milton , a Washingtonian , for
many years , and well known in this city ,
now editor and proprietor of the RedfleUt ,
S. D. , Journal-Observer , is , with his wife ,
visiting his parents at their home on New
York . .venue.
In the military partot the inaugural parade
yciterday , and in the forefront , among the
aides , was a man who sat his splendid horse
with perfect grace , and whoso glossv gray
ish black curls fell upon his shoulders , this
man were a tall silk hat
for the very first time in
his lifo , and for this reason William F. Cody ,
known to history as "Buffalo Bill , " was not
instantly recognized. But when ho was
recognized a shout went up and down the
line on both sides of tho.avenue that must
have made the picturesque slayer of bisons
fancy that ho was once more surrounded by
the Pottawattamies. P. S. II.

WASIIIXOTON , D. C. , March o. The senate
of the Fifty-third congress will assemble In
special session tomorrow at noon. Usually
those special sessions are perfunctory and
formal , the business being confined to the re
ception of nominations , beginning with the
cabinet nominations and winding up when
the places within the gift of the chief execu
tive of first grade importance , such as the
heads of departments of governmental ser
vice and the foreign ministries arc tiled , but
because of tne peculiar conditions of affairs
so far as the composition of thu senate itself
Is concerned , with the doubtful standing of
the senators who hold appointments from the
governors of their state , instead of creden
tials Issued by the legislatures and ,
further , because of the announce , !
intention of Senator Stewart of
Nevada to precipitate a silver discussion by
the introduction of a resolution of inquiry ,
directed to the new secretary of the treas
ury , It may bo that this special session will
assume a degree of imporuinco and exeito
such popular Interest as has never been be
fore witnessed in such cases. It is probable
that in the early part of the week the sena
tors of both sides of the chamber will hold
caucusses to determine upon lines of party
policies to decide what shall be done in ro-
spcct to tlio organization of committees and
of tlio numerous force of senate employes.
As there Is no la.-K of candidates for the
highly desirable Places within the disposi
tion of the majority of the senate. In both
the committee assignments nnd the np | > otnt-
ments pertaining to the onlces of the secre
tary and the sergeant-at-arms , some lively
contests may bo expected.

WASHINGTON. T ) . C , March 5. The silver
atitl tariff questions , tlio anti-options bill titul
the reduction of appropriations were -tlio
leading topics of cousiJeration by the Fifty-
second congress , which expired by constitu-
ttonal limitation at 12 o'clock noon yester
day , and secondary only In Importance to
these matters were measures relating to the
World's fair , equipment of railroads with
automatic ear couplers , national quarantine
and Immigration. Bjrlngssa and Hawaii in
atmox.ition. Nothing of nu alllnnativo
nature , except to prevent two items In tin
Melvinley bill taking effect , was actually
accomplished so far as respects silver , the
tariff or anti-options , the action taken on
such of these questions in onu branch of
congress being negatived by the
action or non-action of the other branch.
The result of the agitation of the
necessity for a retrenchment of ex
penditures is not apparent in any consilcr-
able change in the aggregate appropriations
carried by thu national supply bills , for thev
amounted to about as miieh in the Fifty-
llrst congress , laws on the statute baoUs
preventing some large reductions , which
otherwise possibly woull have been made.
While the decreases which it was Impossible
to effect \voro offset by increase 1 appropria
tions for pensions anJ rivers nnd harbors.
The condition of tin * public treisury , how
ever , though it did not result in the Fifty-
second congress going below the billion
dollur limit , undoubtedly influenced legisla
tion to a considerable extent and prevented
tlie authorisation of many new expenditures
for improvement of the public services , for
public buildings , piymcnt of claims and for
other purposes. A notable Instance of the
operation of this influence is seen In t.ho fact
that not a public building bill passed the
nouso , and it was only by putting a number
of them on the sundry civil appropriation
bill that any authorization for public build
ings was ever secured.
Tho.MUrr QiieHllin.
The silver question was kept steadily be
fore the attention of eon ross by the alter
nate efforts of the advocates of five coinage
and of the repeal of the Sherman law. The
coinage committee of the bouse In the first
session reported a free coinage bill which ,
after an exciting debate , was saved from
defeat by the casting vets of the speaker ,
but was afterwards filibustered to death ,
the friends of the bill falling to secure the
signatures of a muiority of the democrats tea
a petition asking for a cloturc rule in its be
half. The senate then passed a free coinage
bill , but when the free silver men renewed
their light in the house they were outnum
bered by fourteen votes and , of course ,
failed. The anti-silver men met a similar
fate in their efforts to secure a repeal of the
present law , the senate refusing by a de
cisive veto to consider it. and the house kill
ing the Andrew-C.ite bill by declining to
vote , so as to give its friends the parlia
mentary right to have cloture on it , without
which it eoncededly could never bo forced
to a vote in the closing hours of the con
gress.
On Turin' Isiucs ,
On the tariff the dominant party in the
house adopted : i policy of attacking the Me-
Kinley bill in detail , largely for political
reasons and partly for the reason that , In
view of the political complexion of the senate -
ate , it was practically out of tlie question to
puss a general tariff revision bill through the
senate , while spacial measures might stand
some show of passage. The result was the
enactment into law of two bills continuing
block tin on the free list and Hue linen at 35
per cent ad valorem. Under the McKinley
bill large duties were to take effect on these
items In the near future. Other separate
bills were passjd through the house only to
be pigeonholed in the senate as follows : Free
wool and reduction of duties on woolen man
ufactures , free cotton bagging ties , gins and
cotton bagging machinery , free binding
twine , free silver , lead ores where the value
( not the weigh , ) of the silver exceeds that
of the load in any Importation , free tin plate
tin plate , taggers tin , and the limitation to
$100 of the amount of personal baggage re
turning tourists may bring into the United
States.
Anti-Option Kill.
The anti-options bill passed both houses ,
but was killed by the refusal of the house to
suspend the rules and agree by a two-thirds
vote to the amendments put on the bill by
the senate , the opponents of the measure
maneuvering so as to prevent Mr. Harris
making effective his majority in favor of the
measure and forcing him at the last moment
to try suspension of the rules.
The pure food bill , the running mate of the
anti-options bill , passed the senate , but was
never able to get consideration in the house.
World's fair legislation comprised the
grant of $3n)0.0X ( ) ! ) in souvenir half dollars in
aid of the lair , the closing of its gates on
Sunday , the appropriation of various
amounts for different fair purposes and tlio
passage of sundry acts of a special nature
and minor importance.
An automatic car coupler bill , shorn of its
drastic features , was enacted into law , as
was also a national quarantine bill , increas
ing the powers of the Marino hospital
service to meet tlie threatened dangers from
cholera , and an Immigration law , imposing
additional restrictions on immigration , but
not suspending it entirely.
The senate averted the billover the Boring
sea seal fisheries by ratifying a treaty of ar
bitration. It also ratified extradition treat
ies with Knssla and other countries , but still
has before it a treaty of annexation of the
Hawaiian islands.
The opening of tlio Chero'.ceo outlet was
provided for in the Indian bill , under a
clause appropriating $ V-- > > .OJ'J for its pur
chase from the Indians , SJOo.OJO to bo paid in
cash and * S,00 0,000 in live equal annual in
stallments.
HI1U I'umed liy Ilotli llon-ieft.
Approximately 425 house and ! . " > senate bills
nnd Joint resolutions became laws , innking
iK'iO acts on the statute books as the result of
the work of congress. A majority of
these measures were of interest only to in
dividuals or localities , being for the relief of
citizens , for the bridging of streams , for the
District of Columbia , for rights of way. etc.
An unusual proportion of claims bills wcro
presented.
The house passed in round numbers Gi" >
bills of which twenty failed of passage in
the senate , and in the neighborhood of sixty-
ty-two bills passed by tun senate failed in
the house , including a long list of public
building bills , many private pension bills
and other measures involving in
creased expenditures. Three bills were
vetoed by the president , viz : To refer the
McGarrahan claim to the court of claims ( a
second McGarrahan bill falling of action in
the house ) , to amend the court of appeals act
in relation to marshals in the United
States courts in Alabama. This last bill be
came a law by passim : over the veto. Sen
ator Hoar stated that it had been vetoed
through a misundorstandlngof its provisions.
The president subjected three bills to a
"jiockct" veto and two other bills failed of
engrossment in time for presentation to him.
All were of comparatively small Importance.

PANAMA , Colombia ( via Galvcston , Tex. ) ,
March C. [ By Mexican Cable to the .Now
York Herald Special to THU Bcc. ] A new
revolution has broken out in southern Hon
duras , which may lead to the overthrow of
. -'resident I'onciano l/-iva and possibly in
volve all the Central American republics in
war.
I'ollcarpo Honllla is the leader of the now
revolt , and ho has started in so well that ho
has sent word to his friends in Panama that
success is almost assured. General Terren-
do Sierra is tlio chief of the revolutionary
army which Honllla has organUed , and to
gether they make up the strongest combina
tion that could bo formed in southern Hon
duras. Konilia's first victory was won yes
terday on the plaza at Cholutlca. That
town was protected by a force of 1,500 men ,
commanded by General Matulc. With an
army of only 1,000 lionilla and
General Sierra attacked the forces garri
soned at Cholutlca. They mot a bravo re
sistance , and a hotly contested battle was
fought on the plaza. The loss on each side
was heavy nnd many buildings were de
stroyed , but the details of the fatalities have
not yet reacho 1 this city.
( ttircriitiir-nt Troops I-'orcud to Ht'trclt.
After more than two hours of determined
lighting General Matulo's broken , shattered
army was forced to retreat toward Amopola ,
leaving Cholutica and largo amounts of arms
and many prisoners in Jtho hands of Boril-
la's victorious army. Excited by their vic
tory , and determined to make the most of it ,
Borilla and 'General ' Sierra are now pushing
on toward the Tegucigalpa , hoping to cap
ture the capital and proclaim the success
of the revolution bsfore the government has
had time to recover from the surprise oc
casioned by the hard won victory ot Cho
lutlca.
Success at Tegucigalpa appears to bo fore
shadowed by the report that the troops in
garrison there are already in revolt , having
shot the officers who remained loyal to
President Lciva and declared in favor of
making Bonilla president.
President Loiva is not at the capitol. The
revolutionists appear to have taken advan
tage of his absence to strike a decisive blow.
He Was warned of the outbreak lit Consaya-
gua and from there has forwarded an army
to defend Tcyucigalpa. A decisive battle
between the army of Leiva and Bonilla's
forces is expected to take place within a few
days.
Otlirr Countries InteroRteil.
Meanwhile complications arc arising which
may bring about a general war among theCeu-
tral American rcpullcs. President Leiva ac-
.cuses the government of Nicaragua of aiding
Bonilla in brining about the revolution. He
lias telegraphed PiesidentSacazaat Managua
demanding nn explanation. President Lciva
expects to have the aid of Guatemala , and
should Saeaza openly attempt to reinforce
Bonilla both Costa Rica and San Salvador
may declare war against Nicaragua and thu
involve all the Central American republics
save one in bloodshed.
Coktli Itlcilll Politics.
Costa Riean clericals have openly repu
diated Dictator Rodriguez , and announced
as their candidate for president Dr. Jimenez ,
chief Justice of the supreme court. Tedora
Mena is the candidate of the labor party.
No candidate has been selected by the lib
erals , the leaders not having been able
to agree ns between Maduro
Fernandez and Scencion Esquival.
They may compromise in 'accepting Mena ,
the candidate of the labor party , as their
own standard bearer. Dictator Rodriguez Is
supporting Dr. Iglesias , minister of war and
navy. It will bo ditlleult to prevent open
revolution If the contest over the presidency
becomes much warmer.

The victories of the federal party in Rio

quently now , and the truth is gradually com
ing to light. The seizure two weeks ago of u

the federals by the Uruguayan authoritici
have so crippled the revolutionists that thc-l
curlier successes are no longer possible

Having been denied a safe conduct to Lima ,
ex-President Pievola of Peru is still In Pan
ama. Ho will remain hero until ho hears
! rom the political organizations in Peru
which are supporting his candidacy for the
residency. Ho will make no formal an-
ou icemcnt that he is a candidate until his
ur.isans in Lima advise him the opportune
moment has arrived.
D ring an interview which ex-President
PIola granted mo today ho ridiculed the
lo.urt that Chili has made an alliance with
Brazil against Argentina. He said Chili had
not sufficiently recovered from the effects of
the revolution which resulted in the over
throw of Balmaccda to engage in a foreign
war , or even endeavor to further complicate
the Tocua Arica question by refusing to sub
mit the question to a vote , as provided for in
the treaty on that subject.
The Colombian government has refused to
surrender Edward Ferroni to the Italian
government. Italy asks for the extradition
of ' Ferroni upon a warrant for his
arrest issued by n criminal court on
a charge of forgery in connection
with the late bank frauds. The Colombian
secretary of state bases the refusal to sur
render Ferroni upon the ground that ho
had not been convicted of crime , when ho
fled from lUly , and that it would bo im
proper now to deliver him to the Italian
authorities upon charges which have not
been established by evidence. This vlovv is
not sustained by the Italian minister who
Is quite indignant at the result of the de
mand for Fcrroni's surrender , nnd has asked
his government to cable further instructions
in regard to the matter. M. Manzc , liquida
tor for the Panama Canal company ,
telegraphed from Bogota that the
government of Colombia is disposed to
act generously in the matter of granting an
extension of the canal concessions. The
government has been favorably influenced
by the receipt of a dispatch from tlio gov

PAUIS , March 5. | New York Herald
Cable Special to THE Br.n.J The opening
of the exhibition of the works of Melssonier
occurred today. Only a portion were on
view and the exhibition was a failure , owing
to the embroilment of the painter's widow
with his son , who refused to participate
and organized an auxiliary outside of the
regular ono. In the gallery of Georges Petit
there are 1,400 pictures , designs and
sketches. An impression resulting from a
profound admiration for the old masters
certainly existed that wo have no more tal
ent in composition. But there never was a
painter who was a greater worker or more
conscientious or more respected for his art
and his undoubted talent than Meissonlur.
The interest in the exhibition arises from
the fact that It shows the way in which Meis-
senior worked. The details of the pictures
how they were prepared and shipped are
shown. For example there nro more than
twenty studies in the trumpeter who sounds
' Vlvol'ICmperaur" in the rolnbrutcd paint
ing " 1S07. " Melssonier did not paint a single
button without having .studied it from all
sides. His enemies say that Meissunier
failed in the portraits of the two little girls.
Perhaps , but it Is true that it is the only
picture which docs not sound a deep noto. It
proves that Meissonler , when ho desired It ,
could see only the cold exterior ot his models ,
but when ho wished he know how to put soul
Into them.
After this exhibition 1 believe that Meis-
sioner Is superior to his great German rival.
Menzel. They both have a profound respect
for nature and art , but Molssione.r goes fur
ther. His paintings of Napoleon I. will live
longer than the Frederick II. of Menzel.
It is no use to give the list
of the paintings on view. They
are all well known from "Solfcrno"
belonging to the Luxembourg and "ISM , "
belonging to Cham-hard , the proprietor
of the Magazin do Ix > uvoo , up to the sketch
ho was preparing when he died. But 1 wish
that every true lover of art could have the
pleasure of seeing these sketches ami
studios. Then he would understand how
Melssonier will live among the eight or fen
great painters of the century.

France has had the misfortune to lose In

, vas made to the bar , where the big hnnd-

President Noel of the Olympic club , with a
'orco of officials an 1 directors , was soon on
uiml , and for a time fun waxed thick nnd
'rcqucnt. Mitchell had a warm handshake

A'ith an introduction , and no one would have
mnginod that he was the man that has been
icrsistcntly execrated by the American pubic -
, ic for the period of a decade. His reception
, vis a veritable ovation , more like an In-
ugural demonstration than anything it can

Miti'licll View * the Aroni. :
After luncheon at the hotel the distin
guished pug was driven to the Crescent City
lubon Uimpart .street anl slnwn through
la palatial apartments. Thence to the co-
s'll arena on Canal stive' . , and back to the
hotel. Ho expressed himself as overwhelm-
ngly pleased and Haltered by all this attcn-
on , and said ho would make an effort to ro-
iprocato by winning the clmmpionshlp of
he world when he met C'orbctt , the Ameri
can champion. This was the only allusion
made to Corbett during the day.
Mitchell looks big and strong
nnd a lit opponent for anything
n human shape , but since the demolition of
the Australian Klant , .loo Goddard , the other
evening by such a third-rater as Ed Smith
evidently is , I am thoroughly convinced that
the present generation holds no man capable
of wresting away from Corbett the laurels
he won from Sullivan hist September.
'Squire Abimrdon is a UNO specimen of the
typical English gentleman. He was ordi
narily attired in a suit of light brown
clothes with a white choker and proper
stick. Ho talks but little , yet evidently
Itceps up a devil of a thinking.
Every incoming train is now bringing largo
udditions to the assemblage of sports al
ready within the city's gates , and the Indi
cations all point now to the success of the
Crescent club people pulling out even on tlio
prodigious purse that is to bo hung up nexA

Joe Goddnrd was in the hotel this evening
surrounded by a crowd of curious people.
He takes his defeat hard , but blames no one
but himself. IIo is seeking another match
with Smith , but Smith will not have it. Ho
says Goddard must po make a reputation
before ho will fight him again.
Ityan Ii Wry I'ut Now.
I was over to the bay today and saw
Tommy Ryan , Bob Fitzsimmons , Mike Daly
and Austin Gibbons , anl Ryan is really the
most formidable looking man of the quartet.
Stripped this morning ho weighed 1CI
pounds. Ho is still quite lame and could not
tot into condition for a contest Inside of five
or six weeks. There is still some hope that
ho and Dawson will be matched , if the Aus
tralian can bo inveigled into such nn ur
raiiKemunt.
Fitzsimmons was never in better form in
his career , and is very confident of success. ,
but the preponderance of opinion among tht
authorities down here Is that ho is doomed
to bo sent after Goddard.
The Hall party will arrive tomorrow morn
ing and preparations are being inado to givo-
him a big reception. He is gaining ground ,
and as I said a week ago , promises to be the
favorite at the ringside. Today ho is quoted
at even money.
I do not see how Mlko Daly can win his-
fight with Giblxms Tuesday night. He is-
but little bigger and more stocky than
Danny , while Gibbons is nearly six feet tall ,
and well ouilt and muscular in proiwrtlon ,
but it is a hard matter to pick the winner
down hero where the unexpected is so con
stantly happening. SAXDV GHISWOLD.

this summer was the discussion of a small
but enthusiastic mooting of cricketers which
was held in the United States National bank
building last evening. The gentlemen pres
ent were all veritable cranks on the game-
and were confident of imparting enough of
their own enthusiasm to make the plan n
success. A temporary organization was
effected by making Mr. .1. Esdailo Florence
president and R. W. Taylor secretary.
After some discussion it was decided to rc-
vlvo the old Omaha Cricket club , making-
the dues merely sufficient to pay the running
expenses , which it was thouaht would rllow
many players to Join the club who were not
able to pay the Initiation fee charged by the
former organization. The Initiation fco in ,
the new club will lie only a single dollar , and ,

will not bo In excess of that fltrurc. Arrange
ments have been made looking toward a se-r
