Williamson, the vener&ble millionaire philanthropist, died at 4 o'clock in the morning. His will which was to have left $1,000,000 to the Mechanical Training school was left unsigned. Ho will he made twenty years ago wili probably stand. Mr. Williamson was perhaps the richest bachelor in the United States. He was born at Penns Manor, Bucks county, Pa., eighty-seven ye-.rs ego. He was the son of a poor farmer and had many early privations. He was a member of the firm of Williamson, Burrough & Co., who carried on the dry goods business on Market street above Seoond. He was very successful in business, and retired from active work many years ago. The orowning act of Wr.

March 8.—The wheels of the executive departments, which have been clogged by the excitement attending the incoming of a new administration, have not yet begun to turn.

He was cloaeted with ex-Secretary Chandler for a long time. AU the forenoon a great throng of visitors and employes of the state department surged in and out of Secretary Blaine's office at the state de|Dartment. Mr. Blaine was in excellent spirits and had a pleasant word and a smile for all. Secretary Proctor and ex-Secretary Endlcott hold a joint reception in the secretary's office at the war department.

The crowds in the city have perceptibly diminished and only a small portion ot the inaugural visitors yet remain in town. Nearly all the visiting military and civic organisations have returned to Qielr respective homes, so a uniform was a rare sight at the White House. The frwidant dispatched a little puhUc business early, and at #;30 came into the Bast room prepared is undergo the handshaking ordeal of the two previous days. Less than 1,000 people were waiting to be received. The interstate commerce commissioners esoorttn? ft large delegation of railroad officials were the first to be presented. Then the general public was admitted and the reception continued until 10:30, when the president went up stairs to receive personal friends and prominent officials. Among these latter were Attorney General Miller, Senators Cullom, Farwell, Spooner, Jones, of Arkan■u, Hawley, Piatt, Teller, Stockbridge, Mac- Millan, Dolph, Aldrioh, ex-Postmaster General Key, of Hayes's cabinet; Representatives Henderson, of Iowa, and Reed, of Maine. London, March. 8.—At the sitting of the Parnell isommisxi an an ex-Amarican Fenian, named Coleman, now residing in Ontario and empluyfel by the Canadian Pacific railroad, detailed the outrages in which he took part while he was in Ireland. He stated that Macauley told him the league hai paid him (Macauley) £300 for shooting Burke. Retrospect." Chicago, March 8.—Mr. Depew talked freely about the cabinet to a correspondent here. He said: "In selecting Gen. Tracy the president has shown that he is not a sentimentalist by taking an unknown man. Gen. Tracy is a fine gentleman, of superb abilities. I was in the New York legislature with him in 1863, at a time when it contained twentyfive of the brightest men of the state. He then went into the war. Mr. Heninger then moved to go into com mittee of the whole for the purpose of considering an amendment which provided thatthC bill should not interfere with porsons who already hold licensee. POWDER Mr. Hen in gen said it was a grave question and it would be robbery on the part of tbi state to take $500 from a man for a privilege granted, and then take away the right jusl given him. A large amount of other capital is jeopardized. There- is whisky in bond, thC certificates of which were held by persons in no way identified with the liquor interests, and the effect would be very great on tin financial market, and make the state of affain decidedly panicky. The Industrial school will be built on the site which had been examined three times by the trustees, the last time a week ago today, when Mr. Williamson wort with them. It is situated on the West Chester branoh of the Pennsylvania railroad, about two miles beyond Media. On Tuft*lay the trustees formally approved the property, and when that intelligence was conveyed to Mr. Williamson, ho at onoe approved of the decision and sent bin commendation to the trustees. On cross examination Coleman testified that he came from America ol his own accord to give evidence before the commission. Nobody had promised him inonsy. He had received £1,000 from the government for acting as a spy in America. With this money he bought property in Winnipeg. "Afterwards he was judge of the court of appeals, an attorney in the Beecher trial and very eminent at the bar. Mr. Harrison gave him a place in the cabinet because Warner Miller and Mr. Piatt oould not agree. Their relation was something like the immovable against the irresisti's'e. Two express trains on the same track going in opposite directions can't pass each other very well." Absolutely Pure. This powdrr never varies. A marvel of .parity, strength and wholesomeness.

Parnall and O'iCelly kert connected with the importation of arras into Ireland, but he did not know Walsh's whereabouts. Thai - was considerable debate, during which Mr. Koss questioned the legality oi holding the election on June 18, as the que» tion arose as to whether or not the constitution did not require that the publication of the election should take place at least threa months before the election, and this had no', been done. However, he said, if this measurr conies into the senate, as it did a few week, ago, clothed with the sanction of the caucus, debate was useless, and his side of the house would be compelled to abide by the decision of the two-thirds of the members of the body. Later in the day his unsigned will was presented to him, and he is said to have remarked that he was muoh better and thought b* would live for some time yet, adding that he iftihed to make some further arrangements about his school before he signed the will. His physicians last week had told him that if he had any important business to transact he ought not to delay it one moment He felt differently about the matter, and a will that he made seventeen years ago will stand as his last testament. In consequence many charitable institutions and some individuals will not receive the bequests Mr. Williamson intended they should, and the feeling of regret will be general, when it is known that the Home for Incurables especially will be deprived of the endowment which he often said he intended to give it. Washington, March 8.—The selection of Jtenator Gorman as chairman of the Democratic caucus of the senate instead of Senator Harris, who lias occupied that position for years past, was a matter of much comment about the capitoL It is recalled that Senator Harris was one of the Democratic senators who, in the senate, in his advice to the president aud in national oonvention favored an advanced and aggressive position on the tariff question, while (Senator Gorman has at all times been extremely coixservative in his tariff ideas and was opposed to making the tariff an issue in the last -jampaign. "It looks," said an old observer of Democratic policy, "as if the Democratic party was gradually coming back to its old moorings." Democratic Plans. Attorney General Webster applied for ar. adjournment until Tuesday on the ground that two important witnesses for The Times were ill "In what condition does Gen.

The selection of either Mr. Miller or Mr. Piatt, and the consequent patronage, would have disturbed the situation very much.

Then, together with a targe delegation from Michigan headed by Geo. Byron M. Cutcheon and a Tennessee delegation, were disposed of in three-quarters of an hour, Then the wearied president went to luncheon with ex-Governor Porter, of Indiana. At 8 o'clock he was again shaking hands with the small number of persons assembled in the East room. Five minutes sufficed to dispose of them. The Parnellites are in a flutter over the approaching close of Tae Timej case. Sir Charles Runnel 1 is ready to make an elaborate opening address for the Parnellites. He fe determined not to risk an adverse decision on any grounds. Most of the witnesses subpoenaed from Ireland have promised their services free. Ur. Rutan replied to this. He said it wtu not the representative of any party who had caucussed aud outlined the measure before the senate, but the people had caucussaJ time and again and asked for this very l^islatiou. "How about Blaine T' "I am glad Mr. Blaine is in the cabinet It would have been a misfortune to the party and the country, too, had he not been. In republican governments the great party leaders must be recognized. If Mr. Harrison had not appointed Mr. Blaine he would have shown that he did not understand the relations of a leader to his party, or that he was not big enough to have a great man in-his cabinet. Mr. Hairisou has shown that he has ezcollent executive ability in his cabinet selections, and I hope he may have another term. I was talking the other day with a vary great man in the politios of our country about chances and the theory of the masoot in presidential politios. He had thought a great deal about such things, and ha believed it was impossible for a man to be nominated to the presidency after he was 60 years old.

A list of the Nebraskans who would like to serve their country would be a directory of the state." They Will Be Supplied This Year, Weldon Bill Becomes a Law. The bill was then put on final passage and passed. QQ _—( There were no bills presented during the morning session. The house proceeded to the calendar and passed a number of bills to third reading, Including the bill amending the act relating to the assessment and valuation oi real estate, personal and corporate property from taxation for county, township, borough and municipal purposes, after a long discission. This bill is known as the Granger bill, and relieves real estate to a large extent from taxation for county, township and municipal purposes. London, March 8.—Lord George Hamilton, first lord of the admiralty, asked that £10,- 000,000 bo appropriated from the consolidated fund for the proposed increase of the navy, and that the remainder of the sum required be provided for in the ordinary estimates. He promised that the admiralty's programme would be executed within four and a half years. Montreal, March 8.—The exposure of the scheme of the American boodlers and defaulters to raise a bribery fuud with which to defeat the bill introduced into parliament by Professor Weldou has created a sensation in this city. During the three-quarters of an hour intervening between 3 o'clock a number of senators and representatives called. Among them were Senators Sawyer, Spooner Sherman, Cameron and Ingalls, and Representatives McKinley and Butterworth. v John C. Eno, who is credited with the conception of the bribery fund, did not go to Ottawa as was intended. Instead he sent several dispatches, and when approached by a reporter denied that he had come here for the purpose of conferring with anybody about the Weldon bill and calmly said: "Anyhow the bill does not interest me, for I am The Senate Committees. At 3 o'clock' the Washington High Schoor cadets, £00 strong, marched in a body to the White House, and, after stacking arms, filed past the present in the East room without shaking hands. Washington, March 8.—Senator Allison, who is a member of tue senate committee on reorganization, states that the changes in committees will probably be announced next Monday. Xt is thought likely that Senator Mitchell will be made chairman of the committee on railroads and Senator Paddock of the committee on agriculture. He stated that the delay in supplying the navy with guns was due to the failure of the system of lining. All the ships, he said, would be supplied by the end of the present year. He stated that the government proposed to build eight first cUuh men of.war of 14,000 tons each and two of 9,000 tons; nine first class cruisers, twenty-nine amnlw cruisers, four of the Pandora type of cruiser* and eighteen of the sharpshooter type of torpedo vessels. The total tonnage of all these vessels will be 818,000, and the total cost £41,500,000. Mr. Goschen, chancellor of the exchequer, said that the total vote to be asked for 1889 was £4,(150,000, including £2,600,000 for new construction. It was not proposed to raise the £10,000,000 asked, which might be callod a naval defense fund,' by means of a loan. The government's f-chome was to equal ize the payments over seven years, imposing £1,480,000 additional taxation yearly.

"What do you think of some of the other members of the cabinet?" A meeting of the cabinet had been set for 3:30, and there was a large crowd waiting outside with hands itching to shake that of the president. Gen. Harrison's time was limited. So he went on the main portioo and bowed to the assemblage. Then he went to the cabinet room and took Mr.  place at the head of the big table. All the members were present, but nothing was done and the meeting was simply called for the purpose of giving the members an opportunity for becoming acquainted with each other.

Paris, March 8.—The sensation of the day here was the blow given that great financial concern, the Comptoir d'Escompte, by the suicide of M. Denfort-Roahereau, its managing director, in consequence of its complications with the copper syndicate. There was % tremendous run on the bank, Had relief not come from the United States, through the action of the managers of the American mines, there would have been a crash, nor is the danger entirely over yet. The excitement which caused the run on the Comptoir d'Esoompte subsided later in the day, with the asBuranca that the copper syndicate had tided over its peril. Shares of the bauk closed at 665 francs, which shows that it has not bejn seriously shaken. Uneasiness with reference to the syndicate has not entirely disappeared. Thus what threatened to be a panic has been averted; but confidence cannot be thoroughly metered until the suicide of M Denfort-Rochereau and the failure and Bight of M Ephrussi, a son-in-law of the Rothschilds, who was shor£ on copper stocks, are explained.
