Washington, March ; . The senate
Was In session only about two houro yes
terday and the greater part of the time
was spent In executive tension In con
firming; McKlnlcy'a cabinet appoint'
mrnts. White In legislative session the
credentials of Mark Manna as senator
from Ohio to succeecd Sherman were
presented by Forakcr, and he was sworn
In ty Vice President Hobart. Davis
also designated acting chairman of the
TBS WZlTg noes .
committee on foreign relations to suc
ceed Sherman. Beyond the usual no
tification to the president nothing fur
ther was done. The chamber was a
botanical garden when Vice President
IIoLart called tha senate to order. Sel
dom has there been a more general dis
play of roses and beautiful flowers. In
most instances the senators who had
been so bounteously remembered by
their friends were the senators, and the
favors were without exception bestowed
upon IlcpuMlcan senators. Wolcott cf
Colorado, who had Just returned from
his mission in the Interest of bimetall
ism, was In his seat early in the session,
llanna aad Forakcr Applauded.
The galleries were crowded to their
utmost capacity and many people stood
on the outside from early morning anx
ious to secure admission, though disap
pointed In that respect to the end. The
diplomatic gallery was the only exception.-
None of the seats In this gallery
was occupied. After llanna had been
worn In several senators presented their
congratulations. There-was a spontan
eous bunt of applause In the galleries
as the two distinguished sons of Ohio,
both entering simultaneously upon new
fields of labor, walkod arm In arm down
the center aisle. There was no effort to
suppress the applause. Mrs. Hanna,
with a party of friends, was In the gal
lery when her husband was Initiated
Into office, and of course was an Inter
ested witness of the proceedings. The
cabinet nominations m were sent In at
12:45. The senate went Into executive
session, and after confirmation of the
cabinet, adjourned.
CUy Like a rirato Fare.
The city yesterday morning looked
very much like a theatre In daylight oi
a picnic park after a barbecue, the bril
liant weather of the 4th had given place
to a cold, drifting rain and mist. Flags
and streamers hung limp and dejected,
while under foot tha streets were lit-teri-d
with torn paper, orange pec! and
the countless debris left by the surging
crowds of the day before. Pew of the
decorations had been removed- toad
mint of the reviewing stands were still
In existence, but dark and deserted. Ac
cording to the best estimates of the rail
roads up to date the total visiting crowd
was about 175,000. a little less than half
the number four years ago. Even these
have quickly dispersed, and while there
are still noticeable crowds In and about
the public buildings and the street car
lines are more than commonly crowded,
the sidewalks are about down to their
normal population. .

Tha centre of Interest of the crowds

was the While House, which was sur

OLSrjEVa AB8ENCE EXPLAINED. :
Why Ha Did Xos Attend the laaagaral
Exercise Queen IJ1.
Washington, March C. The failure of
President Cleveland's cabinet to attend
tha inaugural ceremonies on the east
front of the Capitol, and the absence
of Secretary Olney from the whole pre
ceeSlnas Baa been construed in sr Aa
quarters as an Indication of friction BaV
tween Cleveland and his prime minis
ter. It was really due to a alight over
sight of persona charged with the pre
paration of the Inaugural programme,
for which neither the old nor the new
administration can be held chargeable,
'here Is no established precedent for
the attendance of the cabinet of the
retiring president at the Induction of
hla successor, and when it was noticed
by, the cabinet members that no place
bad been Set down for them In the
official programme of the line of escort
to the Capitol they had no feeling on
the subject and were prepared to ac
cept tne plan gracefully.
However, It was deemed best to call
the attention of the senate committee
on arrangements to the matter, and this
was done, but a further lapse occurred
somewhere and provision was not made
for them. Before the escort started for
the Capitol the omission was discovered
by General Porter and President Mc
Klnley, and the cabinet was placed In
a proper position in the. line as Mc
Kinley's personal guests all save Sec
retary Olney, who could not be reached
in time with news of the arrangement.
The following ; letter explains.' how
LMuokalan! obtained access to tha sen-
ate curing the inauguration. It Is ad
dressed to Secretary Olney: '
eir: Ex-Queen Llliluokalnnl in
slrous of witnessing the inauguration
of the president and vice president-elect
on tne 4th or March, and she has made
application through her friends for two
seats, one for herself and one for her
escort. It is Impossible for the commit
tee of arrangements to provide these
places except In the dinlotnatio ni.
lery, but as the tickets to that gallery
iu ue sent to you lor distribution
the committee does not feel at liberty
to assign seats id the gallery to any
one. It Is. however, the Judgment of
the committee on arrangements that
you provide the seats tor the ex-queen
out of those to be sent to you for the
use of the diplomatic corps.

THEY. DO NOT SIT.
Sosae Birds That ' Batch Their Kgga by
Jaoer Ilovtees.
It is well kuowu that the Australian
megapod is a bird that is accustomed to
sit on its eggs. Iu certain parts of Aus
tralia are found numerous mounds of
considerable size and height which the
first explore took to be burial grounds.
These were made by the Megapodius
tumulus, which uses thorn for hatching
Ua oggs. They have sometimes consid
erable dimensions. A nest that is 14
feet high and G5 fect in circumference
may be regarded as large.
Each megapod bulds its own nest
with material which it gathers from all
sides, and-these- are exactly what the
gardener nsos in the month of March to
make his forcing beds namely, leaves
and - decomposing vegetable . matter,
which, by their fermentation, give off
an appreciable amount of heat. Iu the
forcing beds this heat hastens the sprout
ing of the seeds. In the nest it suffices
for the development and hatching of the
young birds, aud the mother can go
Where she likes and occur,y herself as
aha wishes without being troubled by
the duties of sitting.
' In the Email island of Kinafou, in
the Pacific, another bird has a some
what similar habit; in so far as it also
abandons its eggs, but in place of ob
taining the necessary heat from fer
mentation it gem it from warm sand.
The leipoa, cr native pheasant of Aus
tralia, acts like the megapod and watch
es tbo temperature of its mound very
closely, coveriu'jf and uncovering the
eggs several times a day to cool tbem
or heat them as beccmes necessary. Aft
er hatching, the young bird remains in
the mound several hours. -It leaves on
the second "day, hut returns for the
night, and not until the third duy is it
able to leave for good the paternal abode.

The Krrernor Z reports, a number of
Incompetents; the prefect A. is an opium
sot and too fond of actors; the magis

grade. The prefect a is no fool, but he
is getting old and feeble. Let him retire
on his present rank. The saagistrate D.
is simply an idiot. Let him take charge
of the local education-department in
stead. The viceroy cf Hnkonfg reports
the descent to the earth from the clouds
of a green lizard and the consequent
sudden stoppage of the floods in nine
districts. We are infinitely touched by
this gracious evidence of the gods' in

for engraving on a gorgeous tablet. The

followed by the whole official body, to
