CLEVELAND'S last reception at the White House, in Washington, was at­ tended by upward of four hundred visitors. It partook somewhat of the na­ ture of a melancholy parting with the majority of the callers. Mrs. Cleveland stood in the entrance to tho. blue room, to greet her guests She wore a becoming cos­ tume of Electric blue broadcloth made with a simple plaited skirt and cutaway ^bF^^sirnemX^t* 607.387^88 i^ket" At «"> '"P^ionof an hour, ' when those who had lingered, loath to any farewell, felt it compulsorViip<J!fc them to make a move, there were few dry eyes in the room, and most of those who had so would have stirred the heart of the most enthusiastic polo ground admirer of-th« American national game. During tht preliminary practice the crowd of 5.00C people was simply amazed at the skil) displayed by the boys in batting, throw, iiia; aud catching the ball. The game itself was extremely well played and re­ sulted 3 to 2 in favor of Chicago. A LONDON special says that the sensa­ tion of the Parnell case came on the 26tl ult., when Sir Charles Russell announce/ to the commission that Richard Pigot; went to the residence of Henry Labou- chere, and, in the presence of Georgt Augustus Sala, signed a confession that the letters upon which the Times baseo its charges against the Irish members oi the House of Commons wore forgeries. Pigolt in hi* confession said that he had forged all the letters which purported to have been written by Messrs. Egan, Far- nell, Davitt. and (t'Kelly. He alsof ad­ mitted that he had been guilty of perjury in his evidence before theydomcaission. A warrant wns at once issued for his ar­ rest, but he had anticipated such action, and sought safety in flight. A LONDON special says: The Timet has given up the fight against Parnell. When court opened the other morniop Attorney General Webster said no weight could be attached to Pigott's evidence, and it was his duty to ask the court tc withdraw from consideration the gennine- noss of the letters. The Times, he said, desired to express regret for publishing the letters, and the proprietors of thai paper would themselves more fully ex- gress their i egret later. Pigott escaped tc arie, and in a letter from that city he more fully explained hie forgeries. Tht Time*, in apologizing, said: Mr. Parnell having, in the witness-box, stated that the le^ti rs attributed to him were forger­ ies. we accept in every respect tUa truth of that statement. In these cirouiwstaiicos, we deem U i iuht to express our regret most fully and sincerely at bavii>g been induced to publisu the letters in question as Mr. Parnell e, or to um thorn in evidence againat him. This expres bion of regret, we need hardly say includes al.so tho letters also falsely attributed to Mr Kgau, Mr. Davitt, and Mr. O'helly. Wo must add that we tiruilv believed the letters to be genuine un­ til the disclosures made by Pigott in the coursc Oi his cross-examination.' The Times has withdrawn it=i advertise­ ment of "Parnellism and Crime," and O'Donnell Versus Walter." Applicants foi the pamphlets are informed that the pub­ lications are out of print. A CABLE his been received at New York stating that Cardinal Charles Sac- coni is dead. He was the Benior in rank of the cardinals, and one of the suffragan bishops of the Pontiff.

Harrison on the 25th ult., the day he departed for Washing­ ton. A host of friends called at his home to pay their respects and say good-by. T. S. Quincey, of Chicago, waa among the early visitors, and he presented to the OfeD?ral the traveling sachet procured for him by"-tb0) Chicago Traveling Men's Political Club. The A-olise is of extraor­ dinary beauty and richness: It is made of black seal leather, with frame of triple-plated gold, lined with the finest Oiifskin, and tiie ten toilet articles accompanying the valise are o( solid silver. It is said io be tho finest article of iha kind ever manufactured in this country. After Mr. Quincey left, (ion. Harrison, with a few members of his familv, gathered about the valise to examine it. y.Aa the articles were removed, one by one, and admired, a flask was found. It was a beautiful piece of workmanship, with a screw top. The General looked at it quizzically and smiled. "I gu>>ss that is large enough,* he said. But the practical eye of Mrs. McKee nc sooner beheld the flask than, with true motherly instinct, she had a plan for its use.

AN interesting discussion took place in the Canadian Pa liimant over the first reading of Weldon's Extradition bill. He explained that the bill was to be retroact­ ive in its etfect, and would roach many of the fugitives^ from justice from the United States who are now so­ journing iu Canada, where they are living in luxury on their ill-gotten gains. The object of the bill, he said, was to ex­ tend the provisions of the extradition act of 1877 by enabling the government to sur­ render, independent of any existing treaty, criminal offenders embraced in a very long list of extrad table offenses. It was the desire of every country to rid itself of this dangerous element, aud the bill now be­ fore the House gave the government full power to deal on an extended scale with such classes of immigrants. THE east-bound Grand Trunk and St. Louis express plunged through a bridge 100 feet high, just east of St. Georgo. Ont.

A siring of carriages und a thousand or more people fol­ lowed them. Thegveatest. enthusiasm prevailed alonu; the route. In fr.nt of every residence were groups of people who cheered enthusias­ tically as the carriages drove by, the General constantly tipping his hat and waving his hand in farewell to some old friend whom be recog­ nized. Cheer after cheer went up as the General passed. When Ohio street was reached the throng was innumerable. Here the veteranB of George H. Thomas Post were in line, among them being Gen. I.ew Wallace and many other well-known men. They were accompanied by a military band, and as the General s carriage drove up they opened ranks and a cheer went up from the 1 houBands of peo­ ple that was heard for many squares and notified the other thousands that the General had reached the city. From this point to the station it was an impenetrable throng. The buildings were black with people. At the intersection ofMarket and Pennsylvania streets the members of the Legislature were drawn up in line, and the carriages passed through the open files, the law-makers cheering lustily. They tht n fell in line and escorted t he General to the station. It was three o olock when the party reached the Union Station, where a crowd ot fully 10,000 awaited them.

Let me say farewell to all my Indiana friends. For tho public honors that have come to me I am their grateful debtor. Thoy have made the debt BO large that I can never discharge it.

As it passed the grounds of the Deaf and Dumb In­ stitute, just east of thw city, tha fences and freight cars on an a iioining track wore covered by the hundreds of pupils of the school, to whom Gen. Harrison waved his hand. Irvington, the seat of Butler University, turned out several hundred spectators, as did also the Small towns ol Cumberland, Philadelphia, Greenfield and Charlottesville. When Knights- town was reached, where is located the Soldiers Orphans' Home, the train stopped for a mo­ ment. A crowd of five or six hundred gathered about the rear platform and gave three cheers for Harrison. As t.h« cheera 1)ied n,WR.v (}nii Harrison said: "My friends, I -thank you for this cordial gathering and demonstration. I can. detain the train but a moment, and I only stopped at the request of the Superintendent of the Soldiers' Orphans' Home so that the children might have an opportunity to so me, and that I might wish them the bright and prosperous future which the sacrifices of their lathers won for them. I bid you farewoll." A halt was made at Bunreith, the crossing ot the Fort Wayne, Cincinnati and Louisville ltail- road, and there congratulatory messages from the Hostal Telegraph employes and the citizens of Henry County were received. Cambridge City was reached at ) : ir, p. 111. Here a crowd of about 500 cheered lustily as the train stopped for a moment. The boom of cannon echoed through the tniin.

The fifty locomotives ii' the Baltimore and Ohio yards took up the medley and the result was simply indesorlb- able. 1?he sleepers on tho train were all awakened. Tht re was a good array of people on the platform at Newcomerstown, and as the train slowly drew up at the crossing there a per­ fect blaze of light surrounded it from scores of reman candies, in which manner alone the en­ thusiasm of the crowd found vent. .

[Waahingtbn (D. C.) dispatch.] * President-elect Harrison, his family and im­ mediate friends ara comfortably housed in the Johnson Annex to the Arlington Hotel, the jour­ ney hither having been mado without accident. Everything is homelike. No one intrudes on their privacy and there are no unbidden guests. For the few days that elapse before the General becomes the White House ten­ ant he is assured as much freedom from an- noyanoe as was possible in his Indianapolis home. The arrival of the Presidential party In Washington was marked by no public demon­ stration. Tliis was in accordance with the wishes of Gen. Harrison. The special train came in about 2:3J. Tha Inaugural Com­ mittee arranged to have the train stopped at the corner of Maryland avenue and Ninth streot. Consequently the party avoided the crowd of people who were in wait­ ing at the Pennsylvania Kaitway Station. In the evening an informal general reception took fdace, and nearly all the leaders of the Kepub* ican party called. The family ara delighted with their rOoms, which were arranged for their reception. They were not only i'cwly decoratod but were filled with the most, leautifnl fiowers. Mr. Elliot F. Shepnrd t^eht a large basket of roses to each of the ladies m the party--Mrs. Ilcviison, Mre. M;:Kee, Mrs. Harrison. Jr., and Mrs. Saunders, her mother. Mr. find Mrs. Adams, of Chicago, left a beautiful cluster upon the center-table, and Mrs. Blaine, Mrs. Hiscock, Mr. ltoselle, the proprietor of the hotel; Congressman Beldeu and wife, of ltochester, and several others re­ membered thom in a similar manner, until the room looked as if it had been adorned for a ball. James G. Blaine was the first caller, and was accorded a ready welcome. Next was Sloan B. Fasset, soon followed by Gen. Powell Clayton, of Arkansas. After supper and until midnight the calls of prominent people were frequent. It is claimed that there were no detectives on the Harrison train, and that he will not have any around him at the hotel. He has no fear<of cranks or assassins, but, on the other band, htA a dread of detectives, which Mrs. Harrison shares with him. It was known that there would ba a great ciowd at the stat on in Washington to meat the pariy, aud, with hi* usual desire to avoid making a. show of himself, Gen. Harrison had tele­ graphed to Gen. Pritton, of the Inauguration Committee, to have carriages wait for the party at the corner of Mary­ land avenue and Ninth street, where there is a freight station. No news of this ar­ rangement leaked ont, and while Washington people by the thousand packed the station and the streets in the neighborhood from '2 o'clock until after the General was safely at his hotel, there wore not over a hundred persons at the freight station to see th" party disembark. These were attracted by the unusual spectacle of stf many carriages gathering at such an out-of-the- way spot. Gen. Williams, of the Inauguration Committee, had charge of the arrangements, and with his aid the whole party was got oil the train and into the carriages in a few min­ utes. At 2 :ot) o'clock tho first of the car­ riages drove up befo>e the Johnson House annex to the Arlington. There was a crowd of two or three hundred people about as General Britton stopped out lirot, followed by Mrs. Harrison. Young Benjamin Harrison Mc- Keo was then handed out, and the crowd began a murmur which broke into cheers as General Harrison himself appeared. He paused 011 the stepping-stone, and bowed both ways to the crowd, which, thereby assured that there was no mistake, cheered again, ana so long that when he reached the hotel door the President­ elect turned again and bowed. Tho rest of the party arrived within a few minutes, ana all were soon settled in the tine suite of rooms that have been set apart as the branch White House until tho regular build ng is available. The large parlor on the first floor has been set apart as a business oflice. and Private Secietary Hal- ford and Stenographer Tibbitts were installed there.

[Washington (D. C.) special] President-elect Harrison was besieged with visitors on the -26th ult., and visiting Cards, like snowflakes, fell upon the hall table, and most of the persons whose names were upon the oards were granted brief audience with Mr. Har­ rison. The whole forendon was spont by him in seeing people in grobpa and expressing a more or less sincere pleasure at meeting them. I'he ^encral broke away from his visitors just after ono, and, fortified against the drizzling rain with a olaou Lerby hat, a blue chinchilla overcoat, and a blao't silk um­ brella, starred off for a walk, taking the fajuihur route up "Vermont avenue to Iowa Circle, down Thirteenth street to K and back to the hotel, where he arrived in ample time for his 2 o'clock lunch. He hopes by these walks to keep up his naturally good health. After that tho callers wen a^ain freely admitted. 'I hey came in a steady Btrcam, both gentlemen ^ »t tt' some 'o sej tho General and some to see Mrs. Harrison. Among those who called in tho afternoon were Bishops Newman and Paret, John M. Fiancis formerly Minister lo Portugal. ex-Govern->r Ordway and Chief .Justice Fuller. Congressmen Bftaver, Dazell \nd/Bound rom I ennsylvania and a number of other represen­ tatives from various > t iteB strayed in during the a.teinocn and shook bands with the Presl- dent-cleoi.
