Mr. Enloe,on a Question of Privilege, Has = ‘Tilt With the Speaker. Mr. Enloe, in the House this morning, ona question of personal privilege, drew attention to the resolution which he had introduced call- ing for an inquiry into the Zoological Park management. The resolution, he said, had received favorable consideration from the committee, but was still in the hands of the Speaker. He did not know why this action had been taken. There was no inten- tion to make political capital or to attack the integrity and honesty of the gentleman at the head of the institution. Expenditures had been made, Mr. Enloe claimed, without the authority of the board of regents. To prove his point Mr. Enloe had read extracts showing that up to a certain time the board had authorized ab- solutely no expenditures. Some little discussion arose as to whether the question was one of sonal privilege. Mr. Enloe finally moved t discharge the committee from further consideration of his resolution of inquiry. On the question of rules the debate between Mr. Enloc and the § grew quito lively. ‘The Speaker referred to some rule and Mr. Enloe remarked that that rale was as in- applicable to the case as the Ten Command- ments would be to the procedure of the House. Finally the Speaker ruled that debate on Mr. Enloe’s motion was not in order. Mr. Enloe is decision. Mr. a] Leen from thi Cannon sow to lay this appeal on the table. On a standing vote the latter motion wasagreed to. Mr. Enloe commenced to argue the ques- tion lof rights, and in the confusion’ the Speaker declared the aj laid on the table. ‘The question then recnrred on the motion to discharge the committee from fur- ther © ion of the resolution. Much time was wasted in useless debate. and finally nding vote, by unanimoas consent, Mr. :nloe was allowed to proceded for twenty-five minutes. Continuing, Mr. Enloe said no attack was in- tended on the present secretary, but he wanted to see the park taken out of ihe hands of the present regents and put in the hands of some ‘one who could look afier it. Mr. Enloe continued that the board of regents was of such character that the mem- bers could not possibly Lave any real knowl- edge of the work going on at the park. There was no politics in the resolution of inquiry. parison was drawn with the form of management of the National Park. If the Zoological Park was to be paid for pasty by the District he thought it only fair to the citizens of the District that the affairs of the park should be run by competent and skilled men. Mr. Enloe criticised the buiidings which were being erected at tho park. A vote was then taken on the motion to dis- charge the committee from further considera- tion of the resolution and a roll call was had. THE NEW APPORTIONMENT LAW. Coples of It Sent to All Governors of States and Territories. The first steps toward putting the new ap- portionment law into effect were taken today by the State Department, from which a certi- fied copy of the bill as it was finally approved by the President was sent to the governor of each state and territory in the Union. There was no especial formality about the matter, simply a printed copy of the act. to which wat appended a certificate of its truth and exact- ness, and accompanied by a letter to the gov- ernor calling his attention to the law. ‘THE EMANCIPATION PARADE.

It brought together under this hospitable le ison costal company of unusual distinction, all bent upon enjoying an evening of memorable pleasure. The gueste had the ainple space and comforts of the four floors of the iegation. In the basement, supper was served in the two spacious billiard rooms. From a fancy grotto cold champagne was served in a seemingly endless stream. Both of there rooms were prettily decorated with spring flowers, tulips and narcissus, and the table, with the fancy fruits and dishes, constantly re~ plenished, was an attract entered at tite office door, a stretch of rooms on the right were provided for cloak and smoking rooms for the gentle- men while the ladies had the three even more spacious apurtmonts in the front of the build- ing. ‘Two large bowls of claret punch and lem- ohude were in the hall. As the guests prom- enaded down the broad stairway to the main salon where Minister and Mrs. Romero stood to receive the scene was decidedly striking. ‘The staircase, clear to the top of the house, was twined with wild smilax and at the landing white azalea bushes were placed. The decorations the entire first floor excited general admiration. In front of the wide mirror in the parlor were tail palms and pink and white azaleas set in an undergrowth of maiden hair ferns. On the mantel shelf were vases of the finest roses and lilacs. Magnificient bunches of American beauties decked the second parlor in the massing of green which made the buffet an immense bonquet. ‘The ball room was a wer. A frieze of asparagus garlands ran ali around the room and fell down ashort distance over the mirrors. ‘The doorways were framed in yellow tulips and the frame between each mirror covered by a tong plaque of green, s1r- mounted by a great bouquet of St. Joseph Lili and wide, spreading palm leaves. On the man tel shelf ‘were fine specimen roses and lilacs. ‘The musicians were stationed in an adjoining room and the ball room was kept actively in use all the evening. When the company had about assembled and Mrs. Romero conld absent her- self for a little while from her duties as hostess the Mexican “danza” attracted every one to the ball room to see Mr. Pacheco, Mra. Romero, Mr. and Mrs. Ross Thompson.’ Mr. Morales, Miss Heynolds, Mr. Plaza, Mise Mendoc hir. Charles Staley, Miss’ Mendonza, Mr. W. H. Chambers, Bliss Greer, Mr. Edward Menocal and Miss Reynolds, Mr. Leonard Miss Scranton go through its’ stately move- ments, The danza is one of the Mexican nai dances and somewhat —resem- bles the quadrille. ‘The movements are, however, more dignified and slow, and consist almost entirely in a gliding step.’ The group- ing in the different figures were very pretty. Mr. Pacheco and Mme. Romero had danced it 80 often in Mexico that they were looked upon asthe leaders and all eyes followed them as they wound in and out among the grace- fal couples. ‘The toilets were very t and were erally as, fresh and new as if the season only commenced instead of 80 near its close. Mrs, Romero dnoed for the first time aspendid gown of white brocaded satin, the pattern of the brocade being brought out very richly in silver and crystal beading. A panei of this. formed the front of the skirt. The sleeves, the front of the waist and the Medicis collar were all covered with the same delicate embroidery. Her ornaments were pearls and diamonds. Mra. Leiter wore black Chantilly lace over heliotrope satin and had on her wou- derful diamond and ruby necklace, and a dia- mond and ruby ticur de lis in her hair. Mrs. 8. C.
