Stocks in New York Yesterday, The
Grain and Provison Mak.et8 of
Chicago.
New York, March 6. The stock mar
ket to-day was weak from the start to the
finish. The rallies that occurred were of
short duration, and lower prices followed
in every instance. Final quotations as a
rule were at or near the lowest point of
the day or showed losses of i to 3 per
cent, from Saturday s closing figures.
Industrials led in the downward move
ment, owing to the emphatic declara
tions against trusts by President Cleve
land in his inaugnral address. Tlie mar
ket was also influenced by advices from
the West of growing discontent among
railway employes and the likelihood of a
strike, as well as by the stringency in
money. The heavy efflux of currency to
the interior, the pontinuod shipments of
gold to Europe and the loss in tlie jbpnk re
serves enabled lenders to exact high rts
from those requiring funds. The rates for
call Joans ranged from b to 50 per cent.

COMMENTS ON THE ADDRESsl
Opinions ofH ewspapers of Both Fo
; litical Parties on. President Cleve
; land's Inauguration Address.
New York World.f - 7
"The inaugural address of President
Cleveland was worthy of the man and the
occasion. i Higher pratee could not be
given. Less praise would fall ihort ot
justice. . . -:,:
The prevailing spirit" of the address is
that of patriotism. Ln this it is like the
parental addresses of Washington or' the
earnest admonitions of Jincoln. The ut
terances are those of honest conviction.
The tone is that of determined courage."
New York Press, Rep.
1 "Mr. Cleveland's inaugural address is a
characteristic performance. Pdmpous
and -stilted in phraseology, it is pervaded
turuuguKUi uy nix eguuuui , uutt , . ij
grotesque. The address abounds in; pro
fessions of devotion to the interest of the
nation and the preservation of good
government. ... These magniloquent utter
ances can best be interpreted byrecalling
the fact that the man who uttered them
owes his election to tlie forcible suppres
sion of half a million Republican votes
in the South and to a disgraceful alliance
wicn me rorces or socialism. 111 me vv esi.
The first formal utterances of the. Dem
ocratic President will tend powerfully to
unsettle business, to weaken confidence
in the future industrial prosperity of the
country and to . check investments of
capital in manufacturing enterprises.
They constitute an unwelcome reminder
that the Democratic party is essentially
a party of destruction-and retrogression.
Philadelphia Times.
"President Cleveland, in his inaugural
address, leaves no room for doubt as to
where he stands, and means to stand
upon the immediate-issues of the day.
There are no specific recom
mendations in the inaugural. It -is not
the place for them. But as a proclama
tion of Democratic principles of econ
omy, integrity and J. self-reliance in the
citizen as the ordy safe foundation of a
free Government administered solely for
the general good it is emphatic and un
mistakable and carries the unmistakable
application of these principles to the
serious problems of the day." .
Philadelphia Record. -.,
"In an inaugural address there would
have been no propriety in dwelling
upon the details of a tariff measure. A
consideration of these details belongs to
the official message which the President
will deliver to Congress. In his inaugu
ral he could do no more than state the
principal which triumphed in -the con
test of last year, and this he has done in
original phrases, some of which will pass
into axioms of political wisdom. Since
the party which yesterday assumed con
trol of the executive and legislative de
partments of the Government is united
and harmonious upon the principle of
tariff reform, the work of adjusting the
details will be comparatively easy.
New York Times.
"No one can read the clear and strong
words of Mr. Cleveland's address of yes
ter without feeling that he has a very dis
tinct idea of the duty of his party as
well as his own, and a very firm pur
pose to hold his party to its duty as well
as to perform his own. It is well worth
remembering, however, that, powerful as
is Mr. Cleveland's personality and effi
cient as his leadership has been, the
remarkable' career that ne has already
had, and that to which he is called under
such unusual conditions, would have
been closed to him had he not found ade
quate support among the voters. This is
the more j significant because the high
position he now holds in the public life of
the American Union has been conferred
on him with the utmost deliberation.and
after his character and his purposes and
his- definite policy were thoroughly
known to the' country, It may be said
that in l88i hjs election was due to a
peculiar combination 01 circurnstances,
and especially to the fatuous choice by
the Republicans of a candidate who was
sure to be rejected by a very large and
influential class of those who had pre
viously actetl with that party, put there
was no such fortuitous element n the
election of last year. The issues pre
sented to the people were very distinct
and the choice was made impartially and J
intelligently. It showed so plainly, tnat
no one could misunderstand it, exactly
the purpose of the voters who deter
mined the result. Mr. Cleveland was in
November, what he has been ktfown
to be for years, and he was made Presi
dent because of that knowledge. The
people got exactly what they wished,
and knew exactly' what they were get
ting Mr. Cleveland will dohis
work and pass again into private life,
But the qualities of the American people
that haye enabled him to do that work 60
f ir, and will enable him to go on with it,
will remain strengthened by his career
and available for th wUpport of other
leaders who shall equally deserve it."
A SENATOItlAX, CAUgTS .
Of Hi bomocrats f !e Held for the
Purpose of Reorganizing' the
Senate.
Washington,' March, 6. The Demo
crats will take tlie initial step Jpoking to
the reorganization of tlie Senate t0"mor
row morning. A caucus will be held for
the purpose of determining what shall be
done by tlie -party that is now in posses
sion of every branch of the Government.
According all the precedents, the first
thing is to reorganize the committees,
which practically control legislation.
The Democrats have been quietly can
vassing the situation and preparing for
the work that is to begun to-morrow.
Of course, fhe minop ppmmittee chair
manships, which have been held bj the
Democrats under Republican rule, will
by the same courtesy be given to the
party that is now in the minority.
Judging by the expression given by
leading members of the Democratic
party, there will not be much delay in tlie
election of officers of the Senate, although
this may occasion a protracted contest.
It is the general opinion that before the

Just after the adjournment, Senator
Sherrill, of Catawba county, presented
to Johnston county, . as ' 'the banner

silken banner presented by Senator
Yance some years ago.
Senator- Pou received the banner on
behalf of Johnston and was loudly ap
plauded for his excellent speech.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES..
At 10 o'clock ; the House began its
last session and ;was -called to order by
jSpeaker Overman, while Rev. Mr. Rowe
offered prayer. - .
! Some bills, alii of minor importance,
passed. Among these was one supple
mental to the Omnibus bill, which was
quite amusing. Shelby was taken out of
prohibition territory, but in the Omnibus
pill the sale of liquor near a church at
Shelby was prohibited and this took in
the town of Shelby. - ,
Mr. Lrwin, of Cleveland, was nearly
wild until he secured the. passage of the
supplemental act. j
j Inere were only about sixty members
m their seats in the House, a regular
exodus having occurred Saturday and
Sunday. The chief business done was
the ratincation of enrolled bills. Of
these about 300 were ratified, and this
kept the Speaker very busy. There were
a few rather languid spectators in the
gallery and lobbies, watching the closing
scenes, which were of little interest. As
sistant Clerk Nicholson created whatever
amusement there' was, by his lroll an
nouncements of ratified bills,
j Mr. Spruill said the Railway Commis
sion bill had been returned from tlie Sen
ate with a statement that the Senate re
fused to adopt the report of the majority
Of the committee of conference.. This
ljill was designed to make constitutional
the Railway Commission act of 1891. The
Ilquse had passed the bill by a unani
mous vote. The Senate offered certain
Amendments (offered by Senator Means
of Cabarrus) which had the "effect of
Emasculating the bill. The bill as amend
ed was sent back to the House for concurrence.-
The House refused to concur j
except in the first one of said amend
ments. A conference committee from
each branch was appointed, six of whom
signed a report to the effect jthat the Sen
aie dq retjeqe frqm it amendments. Sen
ator Means,' of the conference pom'mitfee,
filed a" minority report and the report of
fhe committee" was not adopted in the
Senate, Tfe result was he death, qf the
bill. In conclusion Mr, Spruill said:
j "I desire that the reopoiisibihty for the
death of this bill, which simply made
csonstitntional the act of 1891, shall rest
where it belongs, and when upon the at
tempt tQ enforce this act the courts shall
fiwd themselves met with the question of
unconstitutionality" and the act shall fall
tthe ground, I want the people of North
Carolina to knoy that the Hfjuse pf Rep
resentatives is not responsible therefor,
but that the burden of responsibility ws
voluntarily assumed by the Senator from
Cabarrus.
i The House refused to recede. Thiswas
the end of the bill. ,
I Mr, Starves offered the following resj
lutionj -. That our Senators and Repre
sentatives in Congress be requested to use
afi their influence to secure the enact
ment of a law forbidding the use of the
hoopskirts in the Uditcd States. This was
unanimously adopted and sent to the
Senate. -
Messrs. Sprill, Lovill and Ijllingtoii
were announced as the House branch or
the committee to inspect the books, etc.,
of the State treasurer and auditor.
Just before the hour of adjournment
Mr. Iillington, of Davie, made vgry
feeling speech, in whieh he desired, as.
g' e leader of the Republicans in the
ouse, to express, his' thanks and grate
ful appreciation of the kindness qf the
members of the House in voting for him
as a magistrate. He eulogized the Speaker
in the highest terms and on behalf of the
Republicans thanked him for his uniform
courtesy and kindness.
Mr. Axley, Republican, and Mr. Wat
son, of Vance, colored Republican,
thanked the Speaker heartily for the
ireatmenir of their nartv and declared
that the friendliness of the'1 body" -Bad j
never been surpassed. . - .
0 just at noon by the clock (really it was
1 p. m.) Speaker Overman rose and de
clared the House adjourned sn$ die..

pendent, 1 Farmers' Alliance, and 3
vacancies. The vacancies are one each
in Montana, Washington and Wyoming.
A nnointments have been made by the
Governor of Wvomine. of Beckwith,
Democrat, and Mantle, Republican, by
the Governor of Montana, but these are
subject to be changed when the Legisla
tures of those States meet again and
elect. ' Should the Republicans fijp all
of these vacancies it would give them
f ortv-one. Should the Third party Sen
ators then all vote with the Republicans
(a most unlikely supposition) the Senate
would still be a tie with Vice President
Stevenson holding the controlling vote
The composition of the House.as shown
by official returns is: Democrats, 217;
Republicans, t128; Third party, 8; and
vacancies, 3. The Democrats have a
I majority of 80 over all.
His First Day in Office Early at Work
Interrupted t by Dintinguished
.---! -: Visitors.
Washington ,March 6. For tlie second
time in his career," President Cleveland
..J"
Degan to realize this morning the trials
and tribulations which beset a new Presi
dent during the first days ,of his term.
Very fortunately for; his physical' well
being, however, the rest of an interven
ing Sunday and the exodus on that, day
of thousands of those who would un
doubtedly have thronged the White
House had they remained in town, re-
neveq mm to a great extent of J;he fa
tigue of excessive hand shaking which
fell to his part eight years ago when
there; was no Sunday for rest
and the springlike weather caused
many people "to extend their -visit to
Wasliicgton and make the customary
pilgrimage" to the Mecca of the Executive
j- MansiOBkiejJQm as it was, he had no easy
Ik accordance with his usual habit.
Mr. Cleveland arose" early, and after
breakfasting went directly to the Presi
dent's' room where he attempted to
dispatch some business, but crowds of
distinguished visitors soon began to
storm the doors and he was obliged to
forego his work and listen , to honeyed
words of congratulation from Governors
of States, Senators, Representatives and
a host Of others. Governors Pattison of
Pennsylvania, and Northen of Georgia,
each with his staff, wJere the first callers
who saw Mr. Cleveland. They were
received informally in the President's
room, j Then came Governor Peck, . the
humorous statesman from Wisconsin,
and with him the brass-buttoned mem
bers of his staff. Governor Morris, of
Connecticut, came too,- with his staff.
THIRTY-SIX' NOMINATIONS I
Made by President Harrison, Which
Failed of Confirmation by the I
Senate Fall to President Cleve
land for Reappointment.
Washington, March C Thirty-six
nominations were sent to the Senate by
President Harrison during the last ses
sion that failed of confirmation. Of this
number one was rejected, that of John
V. L. Findlay, of Maryland, to ho arbi-j
trator for the .United States on the Chilian
claims : commission. His failure of
confirmation was due to the opperation
of the Maryland" Senators. Tlie name of
G. M. Lambertson was substituted by the
President, but no action was taken on it
by the Senate. .
; The most important nomination not
sanctioned by the Senate was that of
Benton Hanchett, of Michigan, to be
United States Circuit judge for the Sixth
Judicial district, to succeed Judge. Jack
son, who was confirmed as Associate Jus
tice of the United States Supreme court.!
Fcr purely political reasons the Demo
cratic Senators used their influence toi
prevent Hanchett's confirmation and suc
ceeded. ! The nearest he came to. reach-1
ing the goal was in having his nomina
tion favorably reported by he Judiciary
committee, which held an impromptu
meeting on the floor of the Senata during
the same executive session ait which his
nomination was referred. 1
Three army nominations failed for
lack of action. One that provoked much
discussion1 was that of Lieut. John ,4.
Dapray, to be paymaster, with the rank
of major. Lieut. Dapray acted as mili
tary aid to the Secretary of War and
when the promotion from that grade to
major was announced, it aroused an an
tagonistic feeling among the senior offi
cers in the army, who objected to the
promotion of so young an officer over
their heads. The promotion of Col. El
well S. Otis, to be brigadier general in
place of Gen. Carr, who was forced to
retire, also fell through, by reason of the
antagonism of Gen. Carr's friends, who
objected to his retirement. The: reap
pointment of D. S. Kirky, to be captain
in the regular army was opposed on ac
count of his having been dismissed from
the service by tlie sentence of a. court
martial,; which sentence, however, was
subsequently pronouncedd excessive by
Congress.
During President Arthur's administra
a law was passed authorizing the Presi
dent to reinstate him- President Arthur
declined to do scv-as did his successor,
President Cleveland. President Harri
son presented his name for reappoint
ment, but the Senate' refused tb concur.
During the recent promotions in the
pay corjs of the navy a vacancy oc
curred and JcJm M, Evans, of Minneso
ta, wag appointed as assistant paymaster,
but olficiai objection was made to the
promotion of Pay. Inspector Stevenson,
and pending determination of his case,
Mr. Evans' appointment was held up.
Stevenson's case was not finally decided
and the much sought for appointment
will therefore be at the disposal of Presi
dent Cleveland.
Other naval nominations that failed of
confirmation were "A. W, Dodd and H
O. Dunn, to fee lieutenants, and E. F.
Leiper and Joseph Beai, to be lieutenants
of the junior grades, ,and E. M. Shipp
and A. ii. Pnsey, to be assistant surgeons.
. o
The nomination 01 Henry W. Ray
mond, private secretary of Secretary
Tiacey, to be solicitor for the Stat? De
partment, failed of confirmation, also
that of lycurgua K. Woodward, to be
commissioner for the District of Alaska;
Rees R. Lewtlly, to be judge of probate
in the county of Sanf ete, Utah; Stiles E.
Forsha, to be receiver of public moneys
at Rapid City, S. D. ; James If. Qaky, tt
be assistant surgeon of the Marine Hos
pital service, and eighteen postmasters,
of whom the following were for South
ern cities: A. S. Withers,! Yorkville, S.

President of their Act ion Sen
ator Sherman's Resolution s- '.
for Change of Presiden- .
. tial and Congres-
sionalTerms. :
'Washington, March 6. The Senate
was in session to-day for only thirty-five
minutes, but within that brief period it
received a message from the President
submitting for Tronfirmation the names
ef the members of his Cabinet, went into
executive session, passed upon and con
firmed each of appointments, directed
notification of its action to be communi
cated to the President, ! came again into
open session, had a resolution offered by
Senator Call, of Florida, in reference to
railroad lands in his State and interfer
ence of railroad companies with Sena
torial elections, and had . a . joint
resolution introduced by Senator Sher
man, of Ohio, proposing an amendment
to the constitution. The amendment
proposed is to fix the time for the begin
ning and termination of the term of office
of President and Vice President and Con
gress at noon on April 30th. The change
is to go into effect in 1897 and to continue
thereafter. Senator Sherman's - ioint
resolution was laid on the table at his
request, he signifying 1 his intention to
nave it reterrea liereatter to the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections.
Mr. Cleveland s Cabinet is as follows:
Walter Q. Gresham of Illinois, to be Sec
retary of-State; John G; Carlisle jot- Ken
tucky, to be Secretary of the Treasury;
Damers. Lamont of New York, to be
Secretary of War; Richard Olney of
Massachusetts, to be Attorney General,

Postmaster General; HiUery A, Herbert
of Alabama, to bo Sectary of the Native;
Hoke Smith of Georgia, to be Secretary
of the Interior; Julius Sterling Morton of
iseorassa, to ne&ecratary of Agriculture
ine crowds wnicn packed the Senate
gaMeries this morning and the multitude
of people that surged through the corri-
uors ana on the staircase of tne Capitol
furnished evidence that! manv thousands
of strangers who had come to Washing
ton to witness the inaugural ceremonies
had not yet left the city and were de
termined to enjoy as much of the show
as might still be presented. .
When Vice .f residents Stevenson made
his appearance in the chamber with Dr.
Butter, the chaplain of the Senate, the
spectators in the galleries could not re
train their impatient enthusiasm and
broke into a round of hand clapping.
This ceased only when the the prayer be
gan, ana was renewed! when t the Vice
President, at the close of the prayer,
took his place as presiding officer. It
took some time to restore order gq that
the Journal, might be read,
S&uarer Morgan III.
London, March 6. Senator Morgan,
one of tlie representatives of the United
States in the Behrins spa court . of arbi-
ration, who, "was a passenger on the
American Line steamer New York, which
arrived at Southampton Satm-da-v: wn
taken sick on the voyage. Since his ar
rival he has become worse and is now
confined to his bed at the Sont.hwpfitpm
hotel at Southampton.- The physician in
attendance upon him states that his ill
ness is due to the strain to which b won
subjected by a severe attack o sea sick
ness. The New York, met with a hum
cane on the voyage and the pitching and
rolling of the vessel made Senator Mor
gan extremely ill. It was thought that
he would be all right when the vessel got
into smooth water, but it appears that
his system was soUioroughly upset that
it wfll take some little time for ihim to
entirely recover. , r
