It also covers President Cleveland dining with Cabinet members, a Treasury ruling freeing imported pianos from duties under the implement of trade clause, and advances in gas locomotives in Melbourne. The report mentions Battenberg purchasing Charlottenfeld estate in Switzerland, Board of Trade sanctions against two Chicago directors for fake trades, Miss Cleveland’s health, a Holston Church trial over baptizing a dead woman, and regional corruption probes in Tennessee and New York.
