President Cleveland Inaugurated. CONGRESS PASES THE BILL RETIR ING GENERAL GRANT. l'utdicttldi or Dlspatche SujjpreueJ Oratral Weltrlt-j. Wisnisorox, March 4. One hundred thousand people were in the vicinity of the capitol to-day at the hour of Presi dent Cleveland's inauguration. The programme of arrangements was carried oat as nearly as possible. At 10:15 the doors of the senate wing of the capitol were opened. Shortly after eleven the doors of the senate chamber were opened. President-elect Cleveland and Vice Presi dent elect Hendricks entered the senate wing by the bronze doors in the east front. Here they were formally intro duced to the committee of arrangements, after which Mr. Hendricks proceeded to the senate chamber, where Senator Ed munds, president of the senate pro term, administered to him the oath of office. All the foreign ministers and their at taches assembled in the marble room and proceeded from there to the senate cham ber, where were gathered the supreme court, the cabinet, Generals Sheridan, Sherman and Hancock, nava! officers; the governors of Virginia, Pennsylvania. Delaware, Maryland and other digni taries, together with both house3 of con gress. A procession wis then formed by tho marshal of tho district of Columbia through the rotunda to tho platform in tho central part of the capitol. L'pon reaching the portico, after a short inter mission, Chief Justica Morrison R. Waite administered the oath of office to Presi dent Cleveland, who read his inaugural, after which he proceeded to the executive mansion, where he reviewed live miles of a procession from tho grand stand. Jaslice (o (Irani. The bill placing General Grant on the retired army list passed tho house of representatives at throe o'clock this morn ing amid tho wildost applause.

At 1:20 this morning a roport of the final agreomi-ut on the fortiticitiou bill was arrived nl. and it was passed bv the senate. llin Coha?l llurnahj VYsv KUIeJ. London, March t. The disjmtches isnt by Charles Williams, special correspond ent of the Cable Xcivs, from Abu Klea last month, and suppressed by General Wolseley, are published to-day. They give tho most grajihic and unbiased de scription of General Stewart's battle at Auu iviea, on January io, wmcauan yet found its way to London. ThiB is the battle in which Colonel Fred Burnaby was killed, and m which the British squaro was broken by the Arab3. The! military explanation hitherto made of the breaking of the square was that it was accomplished by the xxabs by sheer weight of numbers. Tho report of Mr. Williams throws a now light upon the occurrence, lie says tho disaster was caused by an unauthorized order given by Colonel Burnaby for tho dismounted cavalry forming part of one side of the square to advance to meet the charge of tho Arab spearmen. Colonel Burnaby gallantly led this advance and was killed. In the hand to hand fight that ensued, the cavalrymen were swept back, and the Arab.s, swarming all around them, forced their way into the square through the gap left by the cavalrymen's advance. It was a plucky movement, and Colonel uurnaDV expiaieu me qusuiku m juuk ment which prompted it, but it terribly imperiled the aafety of the whole force and coBt many lives besides that of Col onel Burnaby. AX OPEX LKTTL'K. AsTOini, Or., March 4, 1B35. To the Cleieland and Hendrieks (.'id of Astoria, Or. Gestlemjs: In tbeirooedings of your meeting la-t evening, published in this morning's Astouixs, 1 find among other resolutions adopted by the club, the fol fel fol eowing: "Resolved, That we deprecate to the claim of Mr. Dickinson for the jics ticn of postmaster of Astoria." If 1 understand this resolution cor recti v, it not only places me in a false light, but is an implied misrepresentation of my views in regard to appointments to office. I deem it proper, therefore, to say that I am not now nor ever have been a claimant for auy office whatever. I have always been the uncompromising advocate of the democratic principle an nounced by President Pierce in his iu augural address, that a claim to office should never be recognized in n repub lican government. I am a Democrat from principle and not for place. If, however, the president shall be pleased, in deference to the wishes of the people of Astoria, both Democrats and Repub licans, shall be pleased to appoint me to the position of postmaster, I shall accept it with proper acknowledgements as an expression of his confidence, but not as a recognition of any claim on my part, nor as a reward for any services rendered. Yours respectfully, J. P. Dickinson. Gospel meeting at the Y. M. C. A. to night for young men who will be cord ially welcome. The cry of 'Help!

CI.ITSOP COUXTY LUMBEK AT SEW OK-LE1XS. Mr. C. W. Burrage, the well-known pioneer surveyor,says the Ouyoniaii, has made a Fmall but very good collec tion of Oregon woods in lhe rough, to be shipped this week to the expo sition at New Orleans together with other exhibits. They were spen yester day at Ash street wharf by -a reporter of this paper. Following is a partial list of the woeds: Five sections of Abies Doujlatii, or yellow fir. They were cut from a tree 240 feet in height at distances'- of 50 feet. The first section is from near the ground, and measures 52 inches in diameter in side of the bark. The second section, 50 feet from the ground, is 47 inche3 in di ameter; the third 100 feet, 35 inches; the fourth. 150 feet, 27 inches; the fifth. vj itvi, io lUUU'.a.- ii nUiiiu uuvo umu i a fine thing to ship the tree entire, to , show visitors what sort of, 6tick3 of ticn ber we grow out here, but 240 feet is a I irine ilkj long lor rail irauspurutiiuji. The first limb was 103 feet from the ground. Professor G. H. Collier de scribes this a3 ''our most common fir." He gives as the maximum altitude 300 feet and the maximum diameter 141 in ches. This is the principal timber of western Oregon and Washington. Most of the lumber shipped from the Colum bia river and Puget sound to all parts of th world is of this variety. The timber is the strongest known in proportion to its weight. There are ten spraco bolts from which shakes nre made. The tree from which tho bolts were taken was 5G inches in di ameter at the stamp. At 100 feet above the ground tho diameter was 43 inches, at 200 feet 23 inches, at 210 feet 10 inches. The portion above that point broke up so badly when the tree fell that it could not be measured. There are also two large spruce bolts, with tho bark on, that run to the heart of the tree. A hecliou of the sauio tree, one foot square, with tho bark on either end, is shown, the di ameter of the stump being D2 inches. Sections of the whito or mountain hemlock will also be sent, taken in the same way as those of the yellow fir, ex cept at a dislanco of thirtv foot instead of fifty. The abovw inunliuiu-d woods were cut on the land of the Northwest 'limber Company, near the Columbia river, in Clatsop county, about six miles above Kiiappi. Captain Ankeny has contributed sev eral bolts of cedariTiwyaijiyuiilca) front his canip iu tho same neighborhood. Weidler m mill will send flooring, rustic, etc.. of yellow fir.

There are certain suggestions and notes relativo to the manner of jlaying tho modern, scientific game of whist, which we do not find in the dry rules laid down by onr best writers. While they tell us the mechanical ojsfrationsof plttvmgand how to make the mast oi tho cards held, they do not tell us what sinail task should be inserted lotwt-en hands in ordsr to lighten the sombre rojtiue of play. For iustance. should the deal er spill the cards on the door while trying to shuflle them, many would not know what to say iu ord?r to relieve him of his embarrassment. lou should ct that time ask him if yoa had not bttter procars a bushel basket for him to shulHe in. lliis wiil at once pro duce roara of laughter and the game will proceed smoothly. .Mr. lioyle has omit ted such suggestions as these, and 1 have taken the responsibility of naming a few. Should you wish to gain the esteem and admiration of your partner and other lovers of whist, occasionally ask," What's trump?'' and yawn, so that the players may admire the filling in your wisdom teeth. This shows your intense interest iu the game and gives your partner per fect faith and childlikeconfideuccin vour play. Tho gams may be greatly enhanced by tho hesitation of a player when a new suit is introduced, and his bright, crisji and original remark that he'll be hanged if he remembers whether the ace of that has b3eii played or not. This will show every one that an all wise Providence, seeing that you wouldn't know what to do with an intellect if yoa had it. saw fit to give yours to a cow. If your adversaries gain the rubber and ono of them docs tho scoring, make the remark that it is half in counting, and suggest that yon will keep the liooks yourself hereafter. The joke is still in good repair, and yon can now get it with your jMck of cards and counters of any iirst-class dealer. Tho game of whist is very much brightened up by these re marks, and I wonld no sooner think of getting whist cards, etc., without secur ing the jokes that go with the pack than I would go into tho minstrel business without ''Noah's Joko Book" and Adam's great work entitled, "Mirth Without a Master: or. Every Man His Own D.1111 phool.' Should your partner trump a trick which is already your own, show your su perior knowledge of tho game by 'abusing her if she bo a lady. Thi3 will convince her that you aro a gentleman and that you know more about the game of whist thnn you do about common decency. Tho blood of but ono human being is upon my hands. It is the blood of a man who played whist against me one evening and scolded his partner until the tears came into her beautiful eyes. He claimed that he had right to do so' be cause she was his wife, but that didn't make any difference with the coroner's jury. She makes a mighty fine widow, and I don't regret the part I took in the tragedy. There aro two kinds of brute verte brates. One wears hair and has the de cency to stay out of doors; the other wears clothes and makes money and in sists in coming indoors and playing whist and abusing his partner. One hangs by his tail to a forest tree and behaves him self; the other hangs by his nurse-string to decent society and makes himself ob noxious. Should vour mind wander while playing the game of whist, so that you'fooli.shly throw away a trick, third" hand, take back your card and substitute another, laughing merrily all tho time. Your re mains will look much better when ar ranged for the tomb if you die with a pmila on our face. If you wish to be beloved by all who know yon, and if j'ou wish to secure mi earlv immortality, in sist on throwing nway tricks in a third hand, yawu till tho top of your head set tles ont of sight, and occasionally ask "What's trumpsr" Lots of peojile of that kind have died suddenly during the past live years, and many thought their deaths were cauped bv some ?ecret societv. but they were not. It's getting so now if a man plays whist that way. the life insurance companies refuse to insure him, and 1 don't blcmo them. I'd as soon insure the man who goes around with his coat-tail pockets full of czar busting bombs. Mr. Louis M.
