The state dinin, all decked in grven and white in e elabora! fashion customary at state banquets. The mantels were banked with white tulips, the mirrors half draped with curtains of enilax, and garlands of the «ame shiny vine were Jooped irom the chandeliers, The table had as acenterpiece @ round cushion of fern studded thickly with anuunciation lilies. At the ends there were oval plats of pmkish white tulips, ‘The tapers burned under white shades. Three Jong-stemmed Marechal Niei buds were at each of the Indies’ places and a single bud made the boutonniers for the men. The gamebag that the President filled on his Ragged Isiand trip was not exhausted until last night. His dinner company of forty-four enjoyed the canvas backs brought down by the presidenti and, naturally, they tasted all the better uiact it Was a game dinner and tallled up to this dish not to be resisted. ‘There was green turtle sonp, Potomac roe shad, English snipe. terra dan array of side dishes before the canvas backs came on. The sweets where in white and greon to match the table color, and the ice cream, roses with nat- ural foliage, looked as attractive as the real roses the ladies were wearing. ‘The guests present were Dr. Von Holleben, the now minister from Germany to the United States; Mr. and Mrs. Potter Palmer of Chicago, Senator Mitchell of Oregon, Senator and Mrs. Davis of Minnesota, Senator and Mrs. Carey of Wyoming, Representative and Mrs. Henderson of Iowa, Representative and Mra, Wadsworth of New York, Representative Crain of ‘Texas, Representative and Mrs. Caruth of Kentucky, Representative and Mrs. Huff of Pennsylvania, Gen. and Mrs. Shields, Col.

Mrs, Hurrison resumed her customary hour at home yesterday afternoo:, when a number of her friends culled and made the occasion an enjoyable one all around. Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Dimimek recived in the blue room, and before the close of the hour Mrs. MeKee and Mrs. Russell Harrison joined the gather- ing. In the red room Miss Breckinridge poured tea and always hada group about her. An unexpected treat was the singing of Mi «Al- berta Howell, whose fine voice was muci en- joyed. She accompanied herself on the grand piano in the green room. Mrs. Hailet Kil- bourn presented Miss Howell to Mrs. Harrison. Caliets kept arriving until close to 6, at which hour the ladies went up stairs, If all amatcur theatricals were like thoso given yesterday afternoon at the National The- ater, when a large aud fashionable audience witnessed the rendition of “Old Love Letters” and “A Box of Monkeys,” professional delinea- tors of life's many phases might go begging for a chance to air their superior knuwledge.

Mr. Barry Buckley, as Chauncey Ogle- thorpe, the second and excessively bashful son of Lord Doncaster, was exceedingly funny. Miss Painter as Mrs. Undego Jones,an admirer of high rank, and Miss Harter as Lady Guincoir an English primrose, did their parts to. per- fection. If there was one scene better than another the honors were carried off when Ed- ward Ralston gave lessous in wooing and other drawing room diversions to Chauncey Ogle- thorpe, or when the former in showing Miss Sierra the correct way to enter @ parlor, gave some undeniable imitations of a few of the vest known men in society. Miss Riddle’s break- down as an dllustration of good form in a debutante was areal gem. The keen anguish that « bashful ma nsuffers found an exquisite portrayal in Mr. Bulkley's efforts in making Chauncey Oglethorpe at ‘ease in the presence ofa woman. Altogether the performance was A thorough su@cess and everybody would be glad to have it repeated.

DISTRICT DEMOCRATS. Different Opinions as to Delegntes and Mem- bers of the National Committee. ‘Whatever interest is manifested in the Dis- trict democratic convention, which will be held on the 24th instant, seems to be centered in the selection of the representative on the national committee rather than on the choice of delegates to the conven- tion. Naturally the litter indicates the former, but it seems proliable, if the pres- ent plans are carried out, that the personnel of the delegation to Chicago will be based upon the action of the convention ca the question of the national committee representative. AN OUTSIDER FOR THE NAT/ONAL COMMITTER. It is stated that when the ‘vistrict conven- tion meets, before the Chicago delegates are elected, a resolution will be offered instruct- ing the delegates to name some person outside of the delegation as member of the national committee. It 18 also proposed to submit a resolution providing that’ no one who -is not in sympathy with the candidate named for President by the national convention shali be appointed # member of the national committee for this Iistrict. _ Hereto- fore the entire contest on such occasions has been over the choice of delegates to Chicago, and vhe latter bave selected gue of their own number to represent the District on the na- tional committee. TO DIVIDE UP TRE HoNon! But this year it is proposed on one side to divide up the honors, so that a man who goes to the convention as a» delegate will not also enjoy the added honor of being a member of the national commitics. On the other hand it is claimed that who- ever is on the committee ought to be in sympathy with the standard bearer of the democratic party in the coming contest. From this point of view, ne decision in regerd to the member of the national committee can be reached until after the national con- vention bas made a nomination. On the other side, however, it is said to be the desire to fix if possible upou where this honor is to fall before the delegates have been elected in the Lnstrict convention. As the delegates to the District convention will be called upon to decide these questions at an early stage the result will 0 doubt determine very largely the persounel of the delegation that will go to Chicago. CLEVELAND'S FAIENDS. A good deal has been said about the anti- Cleveiand sentiment in this District and no doubt itis of a very substantial character. But at the same time Cleveland has friendshere and they intend to appear in force at They do not rely upon going as delegates to the convention, but they will be in Chicago ail the same and arrangements will soon be made for the accommodation in that city of the ‘WAR SHIPS IN READINESS, Vessels Being Prepared for Active Service im the Bering Sea. ‘The anticipated activity in the Bering nea this summer bas caused a stir at Mare Island, Cal.

Bis Justification for the Shooting of Gower Robinson, Letters have been received from Lieut. Hetherington and other officers of the Marion which confirm the published accounts of the killing of Robinson at Yokohama and say that Hetherington has ample proof that he was jus- tified in shooting Kobinson. It is also alleged that there is evidence that Robinson had ar- ranged an elopement with Mra. Hetherington. In an interview at Dubuque last night ex- Senator Knight raised tie point whether Lieut. Hetherington can be lawfully tried in the con- sular court in Japan; whether he can be tried by other than a court having # grand aude petit jury. Mr. Knight queries as whether b our treaty with Japan judicial control and juri diction over American citizens in Japan is re- served to this government, the latier can pro- ceed against Hetherington in any different manner than if the crime had_been committed within the territorial limits of the United States. ‘As Congress has made no provision for the trial of such a case as this one in the ordinary way of our judicial procedure Mr. Knight is inclined to the opinion that the lieutenant can- not be tried at all and must go free. He says this could be immediately tested by habeas cor- pus proceedings in the Supreme Court of the United States and believes that in such a pro- coeding Hetherington would be discharged.

The emperor has commuted the sentence of Rosalie Schneider, who was convicted of belp- ing her husband murder four servant girls im the woods on the outskirts of Vienna, to im- prisonment for life. Schneider will be hanged probably on Tuesday. The reason for the commutation, says the Tagbiatie, is that the emperor ts opposed to capital punishment, especially for women. When the last hanging of a woman in the em- pire took place, nearly thirty years ago, he sud that he would never again refuse his mercy to acondemned woman. The announcement of the commutation in the evening edition of the Free Presse has caused some excitement im Vienna, as never in the history of Austria's criminal courts has the whole public been #0 intonsely interested in a murder trial as it was in the trial of the Schueidere.
