Capital Goaslpe. Washington, May 81.—The blissful event, the marriage of President Cleveland and Miss Folsom, which is to take place here next Wedneeday, is and has been for two days the chief topic of conversation everywhere. The president of the senate, speaker of the house, legislators at both ends of the capital, forget the caree of office and the tariff and silver question and big and little bills, and chat about It pleasantly. In fact, everybody Is gossiping about the wadding. Speaker Carlisle is credited with criticising in a perfunctory manner the president's purpose by saying: "It's ths regular order, and ths ohair has no objection." Congressman Spriggs, of Maw York, voicing the feeling of everybody, says: "The president is to be congratulated; Miss Folsom Is to be congratulated; the country is to be congratulated, and we are all glad at the president** marriage. The presence of ths presidsnt's wife at the executive mansion will add aaothsr cham to official Ufa at Washington."

Mr. Randall's follow*™ state most positively that fortv-two Democrats will vote against the tariff bill when the question of pwup is presented. This would give the anti-tariff reformers a majority of 28, provided all the Republicans —and It is asserted they will do so—oppose the measure. It is oonoe&ed by the antitariff reformers that three of their number on the Democratic side and four on the Republican side will vote for c nsideration. This would leave a majority of 15 opposed to fwnsidnnrtion. The iforrison men do not concede the truthfulness of any pect of this 1 showing, and say the' measure wfll be debated before adjournment.
