Not So Many Virginians Now Awaiting; Office What the Georgians Say About Secretary Hoke Smitri. Washinotok, May 6. Among the call ers at the White House was State Senator McClelland of New York, a prominent antisnapper. He had a chat with the pres ident, but; said he was not an officeseeker when interrogated by a reporter. His ap plication for the collectorship of New York is, however, on file, placed there, it is said, by a friend. There are a number I of antisnappers in the city just n which has caused suspicion that' their visit isfor the purpose of consulting about the distri bution of the patronage of the Empire state. i . . Congressman Outhwaite of Ohio, who was one of the president's callers, states that it is! settled beyond doubt that an extra session of congress will be held in September. " Notwithstanding the presence here ! of the two senators and several congressmen from North Carolina, ii is noticed that there has peen a considerable falling off in the numbjer of olficeseekers .during the past few dkys. The remarks of one as he paid his hctel bill and started foi"lhe train may explain why it is so. "I have been here ever since the inauguration," he said, "and .am afbout as near securing the posi tion I am after as I was on March 4. I have learned a thing or two since I Jiave been here about seeking an office, and yet I do not know enough to get one. I have filed my application, and it will doubtless remain on the file until the next president is inaugurated." ; " ' Some Are Going Home. The number of Virginians seeking minoi positions is also not as large as it has been, and but fe v are now seen about the hotels. Some drew on their folks at home until drafts were not honored, while others reached their credit limit and the frigid treatment received at free lunch counters drove them across the Potomac. The hotel registers, however, show a representative lot of officeseekers. They are politicians who are seeking the postoffices in large cities, consular appointments and other positions of importance.1 They remain but a few days call on the ' president or secre taries and depart for home. "I have just secured an appointment that I am prouder of than if I had gotten a foreign consulship for one of my . con stituents," said a Virginian. "It is a minor clerkship in one of the departments for a poor, woman of my district. As for these ablebodied men" he paused and said with a twinkle of the eye, "Oh, they also deserve nositirins. Thev have worked 4 hard for the party and should be re warded." . - - "When Hoke Smith was made secretary of the interior," said a Georgia officeseeker, "the people and papers all over the coun try were predicting that officeseekers from our state would overrun the capital. How is it now? Why I am one of a half dozen now here, imd from what I see we are as far from office as Alaska is from Washing ton." ' Excursion of Maryland Kdltors. i The Democratic Editors'-association of Maryland will depart for the World's fair on the 15th. After a call on President and Mrs. Cleveland that day they will leave Washington at 8:15 p. m. . in a Pull man palace car. ' Colonel J.. Harred of Weldon, N. C, who wants to be government printer, is here. He states' that "over 400 letters were written by business men of North Carolina to Mr. Cleveland" recommend ing his appointment. He did not state, however, that the president's private sec retary had the job of reading them. The president and his cabinet are once more in Washington. Promptly at 5:55 p. m. the special train arrived. Private Sec retary Thurber met the president at the train and Mrs. Cleveland was in her car riage to gre; t bin;. ''Yes, I had a good time," said tut- proM.u .iC tfJiis better half, while Mrs. Carlisle , a;-.-1 wr ; through the window of the car'ruie .. en-' thusiastically to Mrs. Cleveland ut the; trip. Secretaries Gresham and Smith both expressed themselves as pleased with the opening of the' World's fair. There was no crowd at the depot to greet the dis tinguished arrivals, as the time was not generally icnown. "Once more," said an officeseeker, "the Democrats are in power. The. Republi cans have been running the government for a week." Another Financial Conference. It is said that Secretary Carlisle has de cided to hold another conference with the New York bankers at an early day, as it is believed the treasury will need assistance from "ew York. The last caller was John Y. McKane, a prominent Brooklyn Democrat, who want ed some changes made in the postmasters on Long Island. The president, not hav ing recovered from the fatigue of his Chi cago trip, remained seated most of the time during the calling hour. Later he attended a special meeting of the cabinet. The Confederate "Veterans' association of Washington has- decided to attend the ceremonies at Richmond on the 31st, inci dent to the reinterment of the remains of Jefferson Davis. "I differ ,with the majority of office seekers," remarked one of that class of patriots. "When I voted for Mr. Cleve land I did not expect him to make a clean sweep. He did not do it before, and there is no reason why he should do it now." A prominent North Carolinian says the Third party has decided to abandon their fight in that state for the legislature.

Without a. hitch of ny kind to mar the pleasure of the -oper-jng day, the great Columbian exposition has been successfully started on' its career and it is now making marvelous' history. 4 No pen eould describe nor imagination Sompass the demonstration that followed when President Cleveland pressed the key of the gold and ivory, instrument that turned on the electric current and vital ized the machinery and made the whole vast exposition as a thing of. life. The wheels of the gceat Allis engine la Ma chinery haU commenced to revolve, the orchestra pealed forth the strains of "Hal lelujah," and as the 'electric fountains in the lagoon threw their torrents toward the ! sky, the thunder, of artillery came from! the TcsKis, ui hhj ia&.e, auui mo auuieucb ( bursf Into a thundering' shout that fairly shook the building. Overhead the flags at the tops of the poles in front of the plat form fell apart and revealed two gilded models of the ships in j which Columbus first sailed to American shores. It was a wonderful scene of trapsformat ion,., never to be forgotten by those who witnessed it. Then the band played "America," and the exercises were at an end. The Columbian exposition was opened to. the world. THE PRESIDENT TOUCHES THE BUTTON. The holiday was 6n and the people pro ceeded to the full enjoyment of it. The urban and suburban citizens and their cdusins from the remote backwoods were goodnaturedly mixed up with the foreign ers "Representatives of all nations el bowed one another in the broad avenues of the , great white city. Swarthy Turks from the shores of the Bosphorus walked side1 by side with their traditional enemies, the fierce Cossacks of the Don; sooty Nu bians jostled yellow Lascars; subjects of the shah. hobnobbed with denizens of the land of the white elephant; the Esquimos children of the frozen north sauntered through the long reach of roadway, gazing curiously at the Japanese, whose home is near the equator. It was a congress of na tions. Of course Great Britain and continental Europe were the most stronglyj represent ed. There was a glitter of foreign uni forms and gold and lace in every corner, and every third man wore a decoration. There were Germans, Frenchmen, Rus sians, Austrians. Spain, which claims the chief glory of the Columbian era in right of Ferdinand and Isabella, who sent ' the great admiral forth on his quest, divided the honors with Italy, who claims his birthplace. -Buffalo Bill Attracted Attention. - There were some queerly assorted groups. In one party were a merchant from Bag dad with his two turbaned attendants, a squad of English soldiers, three Armenian gymnasts from the Midway plaisance, sev eral malodorous and chattering Cingalese and Mr. William F. Cody, better known as "Buffalo Bill," who, by the way, attracted as much attention as any pasha with three tails or other foreign notable on the grounds. In another 'place a party of Arab donkey drivers divided the honors with three Hindoo snake charmers from Upper India in the eyes of a family from Missouri, con sisting of father, mother and five children. The elevated road carried similar incon gruous groups, and the cable cars resound-; d all day with the tongues of all nations. Above the' heads of the throng floated the flags of all nations. The union jack of old England swung side by side with the tricolor of France; the red and yellow of Spain was everywhere, and the Austrian eagles flew on the breeze along with those r ilf! -I'M" STREET SCEXB IN CHICAGO. of Russia. China's yellow dragon pen nant, the sun flag of Uruguay, the Geneva cross of the Swiss republic, the star and crescent of the sublime porte, the lion of Persia, the island banner of Hawaii, soon, perhaps, to ; disappear forever, ail these were there; and floating above tem all the standard of the great republic, the stars and stripes, snapped in the breeze, a symbol of liberty and asylum to the op pressed of the whole earth. Very naturally the first thought of the sightseer is to look up the relics of the cel ebrated mariner whose name is given to the exposition. They are found in the re production of the Convent of La Rabida, which is a facsimile, as nearly as may be, of the historic structure in which Columbus sought refuge after being repulsed in his efforts to gain the assistance of the Portu guese court. In the original structure the walls are almost bare of ornament, but in the model raised to commemorate the discoveries of the great navigator, every available5 spot is decked out with memen toes culled f : am every corner of the earth to which his fame has traveled. ' : ,' Very Heavy Rainfall. GREENSBOiio, Ala., May 3.

WIDESPREAD DESTRUCTION. Croat Damage Caused by the Break of, a - Keeervoir In Ohio.! Beixefo-staine, O., May 4.4-The Lewis ton reservoir broke and a section ,'of the i dam about 100 feet long swung back and a f body of water containing 17,000 acres;; started down the Miami valley with " a roar. The first thing it struck was a cov- . ered bridge 100 feet long. - It carried the . stone supports from under it and it fell with a crash and was carried down with the current. All bridges in the valley . within seven miles of the reservoir were wept away and a large tract of land, in cluding the towns of Lewiston and Lake view, were entirely surrounded, their only means of communication with the outer world being by rowing across the reservoir above the dam, and even that can only be done with- difficulty on account of the swift current. , , : The breach in the dam is abont 10 feet deep, and in 10 hours the reservoir, has ' fallen, only 10 inches. This will give some ' idea of the amount of water in it and the time it will take to empty it. Men are; entirely powerless to do anything to check the water until it has spent its force.' The inhabitants of the vicinity of the threaten- mg danger wonted as only tnose who see their homes in danger can work. Brush wood and logs were ' carried and piled in front of the dam in hopes that the ) water might be held back and their homes saved, but they were at last compelled to retreat from the gap and watch the waters over their homes and farms. This sween is the second time the dam has broken within the last 10 years, and although their is no blame attached to the 'officials who have charge of it, since the recent heavy rains were the cause of it, yet there is a general feeling here that the reservoir should .be abolished. ; i Devastation In North Carolina. Raleigh, May 4. A terrific . cyclone struck this part of the state. It destroyed 15 buildings at Oxford, a town of 5,000 peo ple, 40 miles west of here. - The. path of the cyclone. was 150 yards wide. 'It wrecked several large tobacco warehouses, among them' those of Boykin, Lurwell & Smith. Several persons were caught in the ruins of the big building, and one was killed. A negro is dangerously hurC and four others badly injured. ..-'.. . This is the first cyclone on record in this section, and the excitement is intense, even ; r.

Much driftwood is coming down the - stream. Several large barns and' outhouses t went 'down the stream. - Very little apprehen- j sion for the safety of bridges is felt as they , are all substantial ones. Reports received : from Saline county say that all farms in Perkins township are overflowed and crops ruined. The water is within a foot of the top of the bank at the Brisson place',' and is pouring into fields along the river as far west as Conway, doing much damage to cotton crops. , Tornado In South Carolina. Charleston, May 4. A tornado passed through a portion of Lexington and New berry counties, unroofing houses and mills and destroying barns, stables and out- houses. Much damage has been done to orchards and woods. A white woman was killed and a number of persons were in jured. ' Monument to a Revolutionary Hero,. New York, May 6. The steamship Clyde, which sailed for Charleston, bears in its hold two bronze tablets which will - ornament the new granite tomb of General Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox." The revolutionary hero was buried at his Belle Isle plantation on Santee river, S. C, about 50 miles north of Charleston, and a simple i l a. i : i :iL i.v. l-l 1 brick tomb covered with a, slab of marble marked the spot. Some years ago a tree : fell across the tomb and disfigured it.- The legislature appropriated money for a new temb. The memorial is in the form of a sarcophagus.

No More Failures Ixoked For and the Worst Said to Be Orer The General Tendency of Prices of Commodities In AU lines Continues Downward. New York, May 6. The announcement to made in connection with the White fail ure that Havemeyer, the sugar refiner, will take up all the deacon's paper, thus permitting-the latter to resume business on Monday. Deacon White was interviewed concern ing the rumor and said: "They say I was offered $1,000,000 by the Havemeyers to help me out of the trouble. It is not no. II I had been offered $1,000,000 at any time I would have grabbed it in a moment, and with it in my hand I would have taken hold of certain bears in Wall street, choked the life put of them, skinned them, and then nailed their hides to the fence in my back yard." The downfall of Mr. "White 'recalls the fact that he was practically ruined about two years ago in an attempt to corner the corn market. He eventually made a settlement with his creditors and resumed business at the 4toct Exchange. He made considerably money m tne "industrials," but, like a great many otners, overstayed nis marxet. A Day of Great Activity. j The day was one of exceptional activity and intense excitement ; at the Stock Ex change. The great slump in prices was explained by the failures of S. V. White, Ferris & Kimball and W. K Pattoil & Co. Large Amounts of stocks were sold out for the account of these houses, and the ava lanche of offerings created the more pan icky condition of . affairs than has been experienced since the time or the Baring panic. According to those who passed through the Black Friday troubles and all the financial upheavals since thf n, there i never nas been a lino iv. n c w ixmj r. ill tl . ' t KfK-i jv change houses were so completely demor alized. The situation resolved itself into a matter of selling for practically any price obtainable. The enormous shrink age shows plainly how acute the panic had f" BCCOmO. Had the pressure to sell contin ued a short time longer there is little doubt that other houses would have been forced to . the j wall. Investors who have not put in an appearance in Wall street for years back took round amounts of both the railroad and industrial stocks. The buying power thus exhibited turned the tide. "The activity in the money market accelerated the selling movement, but later funds became decidedly easier, the foreign exchanges declined sharply, thus removing the possibility of gold exports, and firms which had been reported to I e in difficulty pulled through safely. All this combined to create a much better feeling, and the recovery was even more rapid than the previous decline. "' -The Worst Said to Be Past. ; One of the governors of the' exchange, and a member of one of the most conserva tive banking houses, said concerning Deacon White's faihire: "I do not care to have my name used, but you may say for me that I think the worst is over now. When Mr. White failed the last bubble wag punctured and we have reached hot-' torn. We have already had a pretty sharp rally, and we shall probably have others with some slow liquidation. I do not look for any more failures. There may of course be some, but they will be of the small fry order arid will have no appreci able.effect on the market. There has been a great deal of money lost, of course, in this decline, but a good deal of it has been in margins which will not show on the exchange. Many members of the ex change have no doubt sustained losses, but . , , , , i , , . " l . 1 -r - they will be able to stand them. . . , . 1 1 - in my opinion the stock exchange is now a bar- min counter. If this is not a bargain day then there never was one on the exchange.
