Three surveys of the route across the narrow isthinus have been made, and the cost of the work is esti- mated at about $750,000, Besides affording greater facilities for transportin, iron ore from the mines of Hastings, the “Murray Canal” would open a#route avoiding some of the most dangerous points on Lake Ontario. It would also bea pleasant route for summer travel in connection with the “Thousand Islands.” Con- siderable iron ore is sent from the Hastings mines to the United States, more partly by lard transportation. A strong’ ‘appeal will bo made to tip d dominion government to go on and con- struct the canal. It has been more or less dis- cussed these fifty years.

It seems that the White House receptions are growing in popular estimation, for on Saturday when guests were received in the blue parlor, for the second time last week and the fifth time this year, there was again a large attendance, principally made up of those most frequently seen at large private assemblages in Washing- ton. The receiving party included Col. Casey, who made the introductions, Mrs. ed aug ee Strong’s Ww D. Key and Mrs. Colorado. The ung ladies now setting Hs White House, Miss Matthews, Miss Cook, Mis: Halstead and the Misses Jones, of Cincinnati, were together just back of the ladies named, who stood in line opposite the central door of the biue parlor. Amore richly dressed group ot distiwgue looking ladies has not been seen this winter. Mrs. Hayes wore a combination of invisible green satin with velvet the same shade, old gold satin and a dark green satin striped with old gold, on which were raised velvet flowers, a strikingly handsome costume. Mrs. Strong’s elegant toilet of light colored bro- cade was mingled with dark smoke colored satin. Mrs. Key with black silk wore black striped gauze with black lace sleeves and trim- mings. Mrs. Hill’s toilet of pale blue brocade was very stylishly made and trimmed with rich fringe and lace. Her husband, the Senator trom oe orado, called during the afternoon, as also did several members of the Cabinet and the ladies of Cabinet families. Mr. and Mrs. Bart- lett, of Providence, R. I., and Senator Hul’s sister, who are visiting him and his wife, called with him. Dr. MeCosh, president of Princeton College, was present, and seemed greatly to en- joy the occasion. As is customary the con- servatories as well as all the parlors were open, and pr ectet | through the suite was enjoyed. White Houses till wears Hat. decorations of flags and flowers, an only the: ‘awbacks to the pleasure of the occasion Were the mud Inthe carriage way leading (0 the house and the heat of the rooms, as the windows and blinds were closed, and the gas Was burning its brightest. "The marriage of Mr. Grossman, of New York and Miss Hubbard, which ocelirred at he parents’ residence on K street, on Saturday evening, was witnessed by very few. ‘The cere- mony Was at half-past seven, and a limited number of guests were invited from $ to id o'clock. The bride, who is one of several beau- tiful sisters, looked very lovely in her wedding robe of white satin. She left with her husband on the evening train for New York. They wil! sail for Europe on Wednesday of this week. Cards have been received here for the wed: ding of Miss Cecilia Sherman Moulion and Lieut.

The report Js rather vague as yet, but It seems to have some consistency’ from’ the fact that Mr. O’Conor peremptorily declines to be interviewed upon any branch of the subject, and refuses to say anything whatever In regard to it. The Analostan Boat Club, at their meeting Saturday night, decided to give a grand ball at Masonic Temple the latter part of this month, which will be one of the notable events of the social season. ‘n. Wim. Preston, of Kentuck: to Spain, returned Home Saturday evening af- ter a brief stay in Washington. His two young. est daughters will soon come here to visit Mrs. Randall Gibson. Their sister, who was so much admired here several years ago, and who was married last winter in Louisville, is now the mother of a tine daughter. ....At the Leap Year german to be given by young ladies next Friday evening, Miss Waite is to lead in the dance, and it is probable Admiral vorter will receive the guests. It is to be given in hand- some style. Among the pleasant acquisi- tons in.

Ex-Senator Matthews’ second daughter is expected to join her sister at the White House on Tuesday. \...Senator Pendleton last Satur- day gave a dinner to the Justices of the Supreme Court and others. Senator Thurman was among those who were present. THE VisiTs of members of Congress to the different departments to-day were more numer- ous than any day of the present session.

H. Boyd, the direc- tory man, is nominated supervisor for the Dis- trict of Columbia, There is already a good deal of dissatisfaction expressed by democrats with the nominations, On a rough estimate it would appear that about one-tl of the number nom- inated are democrats, but democratic members of Congress think they ought to nave half, and the majority of the Senate will acre make a fight to obtain more of the supervisors.

GARFIELD Is to be serenaded on Thur=- day night, in honor of his election to the U Senate. THE DRAMATIC INTERVIEW between Secretary Schurz and Ouray which is going the rounds of the press and fs being made the basis of a numn- ber of editorials, is interesting reading and is only deficient n the fact that no such Interview ever occurred. Ouray is made to speak some- what deflanuly and wanted to know if the Sec- retary would hold the whole city of Washington responsible for a murder committed here, ‘The fact of the matter is that Ouray, who to-day had another talk with the retary, has all along recognized the importance of his position and has never been the least demonstrative in his talks with the head of the Interior depart- ment. He knows a good deal, especially one thing that has escaped public attention—that, according to the present treaty with the Utes, they are bound by its stipulations to turn over for punishment all such offenders as the Meeker murderers.
