SOCIETY, A Mirror of the Gay World—A Paradise for Young Men—The Army and Navy Germans—Movements and Mention of Society People. ‘The proverbial scarcity of Washington beaus threatens to be greater than ever this winter, while on the other hand there fs an unusual num- ber of debuantes and a throng of visiting belles, who will make the want of society young men felt all the more. Asa rule, the younger officers of the army and navy who manage to get hore during the Wioter help to meet the demand; but this year {t seems that the number will be much smaller than usual ‘The New Orleans exposition has attracted many of the officers and others who are agcus- tomed to spend the greater part of the season Here, and to make the situation all the more perplexing to hostesses, there seems to be a sort of resulve on the part of many young men who are here that they will not go out this winter. Light and frivo- lous as the subject may strike more earnest minds, it ts nevertheless a serious one with those who in- tend giving large parties this season and have to arrange for th pleasure of thelr guests. At seve- ralof the entertainments recently given there was @ most noticeable excess of ladies over gentlemen, and ladies had to waste their fascinating charms on each other, simply because there were not men enough to go around. meeting of army and navy officers was held at Wormley’s last evening, Col. Volkmar presiding. ‘The result was a positive reorganization of the ariny and navy german and assembly club, whose entertainments have, for several winters past, formed an attractive feature in Washington so° clety. An executive committee of six was selected, which 1s to have full management and control of all the details of the organization, and that body was likewise instructed by the’ meeting to elect a president and vice president of persons out- side the committee. It 1s understood to be gener- ally agreed that the club will give four germans, the first to take place during Christmas week, w0 in January and the last sometime in February, before the commencement of Lent. Like the enter tainments of the club for the past two or three years, those this winter will partake of the nature of both an assembly and german, the order of gen- eral dancing lasting unul miinight, when the german will begin. Civilians will be ‘admitted to membership, but the number will be limited to a few only: Mrs. V. B. Mullan, whose studio is at No. 913 F street, will give a reception on Monday evening next, When there will be on exhibition the work of her students for the past three months, Mr. Henry W. Denison, English secretary of the Japanese legation, and Mrs. Denison are at the Hamilton. ‘Mrs. Ricketts’ reception yesterday afternoon was juite largely attended, and it 1s probably the last she will hold until after the more formal commence- ment of the season on January first. Mrs Robert Koons, of Philadelphia, daughter of the Attorney General, who was married here nearly two years ago, expects to spend the holidays with her father. Representative and Mrs. Beach have the same apartments at the Portland they occupied last season, * Senator Miller's tamfly expect to go south about the end of January, and will vislt New Orleans in Ume for mardi gras festivities. Mrs. Senator Conger will this season defer her weekly receptions until after the holidays, and will hold the first on the afternoon of January 8th. Mr. and Mrs. Louls Erwin Beall have returned to the city from their wedding trip, and are located in their new home, 1818 M street. Ex-Governor and Mra Cheney, of New Hamp- shire, who are pleasantly domiciled fur the winter at the Portland, expect to leave to-morrow even- ing with their daughter for their home in Manches- ter, where they will pags the holidays, returning here shortly after new year day. Miss Cheney has been seriously ill lately, but 18 how quite recovered, and expects to resume her studies at school tmme- diately after arriving here in January. Mrs. Gen. Wright is expecting her niece, Miss Annie Wright, of Tenn¢ to arrive after the holidays to spend the season here. Major and Mra David Porter Heap have moved into thelr new house, 1618 Rhode Island avenue, Mrs. Heap will receive on Tuesdays dt the winter. Miss Grace Carm Sheldon, daughter of Judge Sheldon, of Buffalo, is visiting’ Mrs, Heap at present, * On Wednesday evening a fashionable audience assembled at the Congregational church to enjoy the excellent program of music arranged for the initative concert of the series roposed to be given during the season by Prof. Bishoff.

Hotise of Representatives, THR DEBATE ON THR INTRR-STATE COMMERCE BILL. ‘The House resumed the consideration of the in- ter-state commerce bill. Mr. Henderson (Iowa) moved to strike out the Section prohibiting the ratiroad companies from | charging a greater compensation for transporting | freight a shorter than a longer distauce. He be | Meved that the section was deadly to the interest | ot the partof the country wich he represented— the great agricultural Interest. Mr. Rea,an (Texas) opposed the motion. Not to prohibit a greater rate for a shorter than a longer haul was to submit to the railroads the regulation of the entire cominerce of the country. ‘Mr, Wilson (Iowa) Sald that ninety-nine times out ofa hundred the section would be found to be right, but he declared that It would permit the Worst kind of discrimination against the farmers of | fowa. Mr. Henderson (Ii].) thought that the rule laid down in the section was an unjust rule, ‘Tue on! fair rule to adopt was that no raflroad company Should be permitted to cuarge any unreasonable rate between any two points. THE CONFERENCE ON THB NAVY BILL, Mr. Reagan here yielded to Mr. Randall (Pa) to Permit him to report a conference disagreement on the temporary naval appropriation bli Mr. Ran- dall said that there siiould be no ill-feeling between the two houses on account of the disagreement; he did not think that the position of the House con- ferees had been stated fairiy in the Senate yester- day, and therefore he would express tue ‘ununl- mOUuS Voice of those conferees as to What they had Maintained. It was weli known that the partment had been administered during the past SIX months under a temporary appropriation. ‘The continuance of the provisions of this proper bill Was objecied to by the Senate. The Senate con- ferees desired tha’ the bill witch should be made the basis of the conference should bea till Uhat Was passed last session by the ifouse and amended by the Senate, but which was luld aside and never became a law. _ That bill was base 1 oman Increase of appropriation approaching $5,W0,000, and would bring into the conference new subjects not legis- lated upon ut all. What the House conferees wanted was to take the existing law,and if necessary repeal it by items. ‘They did not Want to use adrax net and bring in other matters of legislation and appropriation. MR, KEIFBR WANTS THS WORK TO BEGIN NOW. Mr. Kelfer (Ohio) was sorry that Mr. Randall had not spoken upon the merit of the matters In con- troversy. Ifthe country was to have a navy, the work of construction should bein now. Mr. Randall repiied that so tar as _jhe present cruisers were concerned, Cong: had already given every dollar required for completing, fur- ishing, arming and putting theron ofioat. Mr. Long (Mass.), one of the conferees, while ad- mitting the propriety of bullding up tained” the action of the mana: part of the House. This question of new cruisers should be carefuily cousidered, and that could be done when the appropriation bill for the next fiscal year was under discussion. The department had been administered for six months under a temporary bill, and it would introduce some confusion into the workings of the depart- ment to change the system of appropriations for the remainder of the year.

The conference of tho two houses on the naval ‘Dill came to no understanding yesterday. They did not even get the bill up under consideration. The ‘Senate conferees contended for the bill as amended by the Senate, with an addition of $5,000,000 for the ‘new cruisers, while the conferees on the part of the House refused to recognize any bill except that passed by the House continuing last year’s appro- pration.
